One of the Sad Scenes Among the Soldier
at Camp Vikoff

One of the Sad Scenes Among the Soldiers
at Camp wikoG.
He is one of the unknown dead
A plain wooden cross marks the
grave where he lies by his comrades
on the hillside overlooking the lake.
There was none beside him at the
last to whom he was anything more
than dying soldier; yet he died
with the smile of a hope realized
when hope was all but gone. From
the time he was brought In there
was no hope for him. The deadly
POISON that oOZes from the Cuban
soil had permeated his system. They
call it pernicious malarial fever. It
doesn't matter much what they call
hopeless disease. The soldier al
ternated between Inconsistencies
and delirium, and all efforts to find
out who he was were unavailing.
His one glimmering of reason was
when he called in plaintive iteration
for his mother.
"MotheI Mother! Isn't she COM
ing at all?"
Across from him was another sol
dier suffering from malarial fever in
lighter form. His mother had
come on from the West and had
found him already on the road to
recovery. She sat on the edge of his
cot holding his hand and talking in
low, happy tones. When the sur
geon came along on his rounds she
rose and half turned. The unknown
soldier turned on his side and saw
her standing there. For a moment
there could be seen in his eyes the
struggle of returning consciousness !;
then a great peace shown on his
wasted face.
mother" he said weakly. you've
come at last"
The woman turned and saw a
stranger feebly holding out his arms
to her. She stood amazed, but it
was only moment before the mother
heart comprehended.
Eyes, dear boy" she said softly,
1--WE come"
Lift me up,n he said II want to
go home. You've come to take me
home, haven't you, mother?"
She stopped over and kissed him,
then sat on the edge of the cot and
took the emaciated form in her arms.
He leaned back, his eyes closed
and he smiled. But soon he opened
his eyes again.
II don't believe 1 can 60" he whis-
pered. Don't you mind, mother,
Northumberland
His breathing grew slower and
softer. His head dropped back and
he half turned in the wOman's arms.
I've loDged for you so, m Nther,"
he said, and died.
The woman laid the body down
and went back to her own son.

McMilIin's Church,

Benton McMillin, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is a devoted
member of the Christian Church,
and, if elected, he will be the first
one Of that faith to fill the executive
chair of this State. If Republican
who thinks more of his religious
faith than he does of his political
opinions should vote for McMillin,
he ought not to be read out of the

couple of feathers designed in braid
ing turning reverse ways, and start
ing from the feet. This treatment
is repeated on the bodice, which
has long all-round basque, the
white waistcoat also braided, show
ing the cream revers from the
shoulder to the waist in front, the
cuffs being white cloth also. Some
of the cloth Princess gowns have
narrow handsome braided pattern,
carried from the bodice OH to the
skirt on both sides of the front
breadth. These garments fasten at
the side, have wide revers, show a
vest below, also braided, and high
collar at the back. The cuffs nearly
always turn down over the hand.
Some such dresses are bound at the
hem of the skirt with some contrast
ing color, headed by gimp, and this
same trimming is carried down the
front round the short straight basque
and on the epaulettes, the belt fast
ening over white undervest. Quite
original and pretty are the double
breasted waistcoats, with the side
seams outlined with buttons, over
which loose open jacket is slipped,
having pointed revers, matching
the waistcoat, and besides this an
indication of another waistcoat with
three large buttons, which is only
seen at the side.

The gen"iness If a mans religion,
as well as it's value to the world, is
to be determined by its influence in
governing his everyday life more
than by anything he may say. II it
is not potent enough to control his
conduct, then it is not worth taking
into account. "By their fruits We

"A gift from heaven-our joy and stay,

And oft we sought with all things fair
Her gentle presence to compare;

So thoughtful, true and undefled-
Prom maid to matron, still our child.

Fashion Notes.

Many gowns for day wear are fas-
bened at the back.
Elbow sleeves are again in vogue
and they have deep fiOunce ct the
elbow.
The soft white felt hat will be
popular for early autumn wear.
Trailing gowns are again the
vogue but not for the debutante.
Her evening frocks are of the sim
pie, girlish order, as they properly
should be.
Gray and heather tints are always

tunes, but they are to be more pOpu.
lar than ever THIS fall. Many of the
finest coatings are shown in these
cOlors only, though subdued greens
are very pretty and will be consid-
cred stylish.
Long sleeves with low-cut bodices
are by no means out of date. A very
pretty and new style is represented
by one Of the above drawings, the
pleated cause ruffi9s going from
wrist TO shoulder. Often the neck
is pretty and plump enough for a
low-cut bodice to be very becoming,
while the arm is too slender and
lacking in shapeliness 80 wear a
sleeveless bodice.
The court train of velvet for state
ly DANES is regal, and will be seen
this winter over gowns of handsome,
0ld-fashioned brocade. Velvet will
be profusely used on evening gowns
Of the sheerest sort, but it will be
most artistically applied. Lace, too,
of many varieties, and almost with
cut limit, will be employed. Bands
of heavy lace edged with quillings
of ribbon are new and very lovely.
Ruches of satin ribbon often form
the entire adornment of the newest
and most modlsh evening gowns.

THAT which Insures Long Life.

That which lnsures Long Lie.
He who would live to a good old
age, who would carry youth and
freshness, symmetry and beauty of
mind and body, into ripe years, must
have cultured heart, an educated
mind, and well kept body. He must
be temperate and virtuous he must
not defile the temple of his soul with
vice or imbrute 1t with sensuality :.
The mind is the natural protector of
the body. We cannot believe that
the Creator has left the whole HUI
man race entirely at the mercy of
emily about half a dozen specific
drugs which always act with GER
bainty. There is a divine remedy
placed within us for many of the ills
we suffer. If we only knew how to
use this power of will and mind to
protect ourselves, many of the ply
sicians would be out of employment,
and many of us would be able to
carry youth and cheerfulness with
rs into the teens of our second
century.
