A Natural Conclusion.

The Philadelphia Record prints an
amusing story of the late Pres. William
H. Allen of Girard college and lady OF
more inquisitiveness than intelligence.
On one occasion a business matter CALI
ed Mr.. Allen to small town in the GEN.
trail part Of Pennsylvania. While sit
ting in the parlor of the country hotel
in the evening, after transacting his
business, he was taken in hand by the
wife Of the proprietor, who wanted to
know all about his private affairs. Mr..
Allen took it all in good part, and for
time was rather amused. Finally she
asked: Have you much of a family?'
"Oh, yes" said he, and he smiled as his
mind reverted TO his hundreds OF pu-
pills. How many children?" she per-
sisted. WELL said Mr.. Allen, with
great earnestness, Il have five hum
dred, and all boys" The good lady
was speeches. for a moment. Then
she arose, and hurrying to the door,
called softly to her husband: "Oh,
John, come in here, We've got Brig
ham Young stoppin' with u.s."

RIOTERS BECOME SOLDIERS.
Their Commanding Omcer Was Once
Their Prisoner,

Their Commanding Omcer Was Once
Their Prisoner,
From the Washington Post: Col.
Anderson, commanding the Second
Tennessee regiment, which is station
ed at Camp Alger was talking with
a group of gentlemen from his own
state yesterday. This gallant officer
has already gone through as interest
ing an experience as he will ever be
likely to figure in, whether he joins
the Spaniards in deadly combat on the
soil of Cuba or in the far-off Philip
pines. He commanded force of state
troops in the famous Coal Creek strike
in East Tennessee six or seven years
ago, and it is almost miracle that
he is alive now to tell about it. The
rioting strikers, it will be remembered,
burned the stockade and freed lot OF
convicts who had been employed in
the coal mines. Their desperate con-
duct necessitated calling out the mi
litia, and Col. Anderson went to the
front to help put a Quietus on the riot
ing. In some way he became sepa-
rated from his men and was captured
by the strikers, who imprisoned him
and came very near shooting him. He
was in no wise daunted by his captors,
and when they spoke of killing him
he defied them to fire. A peremptory
demand for his release, accompanied
with a threat of wholesale hanging,
caused his liberation. The most Gu
riOus part of the whole affair is that
there are now in the regiment which
Col. Anderson leads a half dozen Of
the very men who participated in the
Coal Creek strike, and who were pres
ent when he was captured. They are
now, however, On the best of terms
with their commander, and are will
ing to follow him wherever he leads.
They are great, big fellows, fine speci-
mems of physical manhood, and are
eager for a chance to spill Spanish
gore.

West Point was, for the last ten years
of his life, the summer home of Gen
eral Scott, of whom Mrs. Sherwood, in
her "reminiscences" pleasantly COS
sips: The hero of the Mexican war al
ways, on the Fourth of July, wore his
old military coat, the one in which he
rode into the Mexican capital ION top
of a picnic" as he used to say. VERY
shabby old coat, madam, very shabby
old coat!" the gratified old man would
exclaim, as he felt a lady's hand laid
gently on his arm, as she asked to
touch the sacred cloth. He wore the
coat on many historic days, and was
pleased to shoulder his cane and fight
his battles over again. Once, while
telling the story of Arnold's treason,
and pointing out from the hotel piazza
the spots associated with the traitor, he
said, referring to Mrs. Arnold's devo-
ton to her husband, "She chung like
ivy to a worthless thing"

''On the 2Sth of Sept. 1896, while in the

our house, was then for the first time veri-

Stones in Goldfish.

Among the curious things connected
with the Goldfish is the frequency OF
large stones being found in the stom-
ach. These are of various sizes;
sometimes in a large fish weighing
many pounds. 1t is g popular belief
among fishermen that these are taken
just before a storm for the purpose OF
anchoring themselves during the ex-
pected swells of the sea. The suppo-
sition is corroborated by the fact that
all the fish taken before a storm agree
in this popularity, whereas at ordin-

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars
To Take when Travelling.

Every traveller knows that continuous
,ourneying on the railroad Is very apt to
derange the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there is a contin-
nous jar and vibration. which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat, according TO the
strength of the traveller or his predisposi-
ton to some specific silment. The most
common consequence of continuous car
riding Is constipation. And this condition
Invariably produces headache, and tends

Mo-, found a way to avoid the evil effects
of constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
1.-THE pill that will" cure constipation and
all its sequent suferings. This is what
he says:
travelling on the cars tends to consti-
patton with me, but by using DIR. ]. c,
Ayers Pill. moderately, my bowels are
kept in healthy action. They also prevent
headache."-J. ]. CONVERSE, St. Louis, Mo.
Dr.. Ayers Pills are good for constipation
under all circumstances and conditions.
They have cured long standing cases after
every other medicine had failed. Rev.

alton shown at every step to spare mel
Their expense nor trouble in obtaining
the most accurate inform alton on ev
cry subject that entered into the Die
tionary. Looking over the finished
work am surprised at the renewed evil
dence of that care and attention, which
I meet at every turn. AS a specimen
of which every one can judge, We may
take the colored plates. Their beauty
needs no statement from me, but must
say that / have never seen any plate
of the spectrum which reproduced so
accurately and brilliantly the actual

have found so admirably seryiceable at

Being aware of the errors in the In
