WHY MEDICINES FAIL.

ssI do not pretend to say that honest
drug treatment always fails, but every
true physician will tell you we must
rely upon a stimulant if medicines are
used, and that is not what a weak man
requires. He needs strength. Quacks
invariably give Cor QUICK results a
strong aphrodisiac, which Immediately
stimulates; but such can result only
in a permanent injury if persisted in.
The treatment I use must appeal TO
the common sense OF every one who
will but give the matter a moments
thought My remedy is universal and
handed by Nature to man direct. 1
speak Of that great force, the one ele-
ment most important to life in man
or beast-ELECTRICITY!
ITO weak men, young or old, who
may have the least foundation left to
build upon, let me say as man to
man, as physician to patient: Elec-
tricity, properly applied and faithfully
used, will cure you as sure as night
follows day. There are but two scien-
tific apphcations-one, the 1s-cell sys-
tenn, used in our great city hospitals;

LOCALTALK
A soRRowFUL LETTER.


Z. A Taft has received a letter from a
soldier at Santiago. which gives an mixing
OF the privations there. II reads:
Ny Dear Friends-Your letter was put in
my hands on the 18th, JUST as 1 came
from the hospital, where l had been with
yellow fever since the 26th OF last month.
am not now thoroughly recovered, and
am unfit for duty, bur-am able TO move
around; not as lively perhaps as l did
when you saw me in Colorado Springs, but
just lively enough for one TO see that
am moving. When l enlisted 1 weighed 1I3
pounds; now if l were to be weighed, and
tipped the scales al 80 pounds, would
imagine myself whale.
Our regiment suffered more from war
than any other troops in the field, losing
forty-five killed and ninety-ive wounded,
and since peace or the surrender of San
tiago de Cuba took place have had more
sickness and death than the others. You
would not recognize in the ragged, ill-fed,
dirty, beard bedecked collection of men
camped on the hills and in the excuses for
hospitals the gallant, fighting Seventh you
saw in Denver on the 10th day Of April
last We look some better now, though,
as we are being uniformed with the new
Miles uniform, and while it improves our
appearance somewhat, the majority of US
look like scarecrows far more than we do
like soldiers.
You may be glad you are an American,
but am sorry am an American soldier.
We have been half starved ever since
we landed, and our half rations were of
the kind that were unpalatable and unfit
for hogs to eat. when we were taken TO
hospitals We were put in our field dog
tents on the bare ground, with no attend
ance, little or nothing to eat, no medicine,
only what our yellow fever experts mot
army doctors) could buy in Santiago at
fabulous prices and with their own money
and left eihert TO die or get well as best we
could. Those who had strong constitu-
tons pulled through in most cases. but the
hillsides north of Santiago are dotted with
little mounds of fresh earth, and each one
marks the resting place of a brave man,
who passed through a baptism of fire and
the hardships incidental to successful war
fare, only to be stricken down by disease,
without care, friendship or a cheerful word
from dear ones far away. Only in remote
cases did they receive the kind Offices Of
their comrades. as they were often sep
arated.
l cannot go farther; II makes me sick
to think of it. Should 7 ever return will
try and see you and tell you all about it,
but at present you vii have to excuse me.
We expect to leave here any day. but
your letters will reach me from Tampa

HAS BRYAN's AUTOGRAPH.

There is little girl in the city who Is
the proud possessor of a personal auto
graph letter from the illustrious cam
paigner, William Jennings Bryan, also
one from Mrs. Bryan, photographs OF
each and a letter from Mr.. Bryan's pri
vate secretary. During the campaign
which is now memorable and historic she
wrote a short note to the silver candi-
date congratulating him upon his nominal
ton, and wishing him success, never hint
ing for any souvenir from him, and not
even expecting to ever hear from 1t. It
was merely the honest expression of
youthful enthusiasm. In a few days the
private secretary wrote a note in reply
In which he said that the heat of the
campaign and the many engagements of
Mr. Bryan would prevent his attending
TO her hote until after election. but in be-
half of his chief ne desired to thank her
for her kind and considerate expressions
of regard. That was supposed to settle
that but a few days after the election,
though Mr. Bryan had been defeated, ne
personally acknowledged the receipt of
the note warmly thanking her for her
wishes for his success. adding that he
was very proud to have the esteem of
Kansas girl. Accompanying this thought
full courtesy was another similar note
from Mrs Bryan, and in separate pack
ct were late photographs of both. on the
back Of which were the autographs of
each. The little girl who bears these
memetoes Of an historic campaign IS Miss
Ivah Cole. daughter of Vic Cole.

time the five little kittens were scam
pering AL around the limited space of
the pens and onlookers expected at every
plunge of the maddened bisons one or
more of them would be stepped on, leaV-
ing nothing but a grease spot. But with
evident studied care, the giant animals
would carefully step over and around
them avoiding them and paying no heed
to their presence. After the cyclone was
over and the brutes exhausted, they lay
down in far corner, and though painting
with bafffsd rage, the little infnitesimal
white kittens at once climbed all over
them, up and down their quivering sides
in and out among those terrible hoofs and

not go near, but piteously mewed TO them

frail kittens and would not modest them.

BUFFALO AND KITTENS.

And the lion and the lamb shall lie
down together" It is better for them to
do that than to act like the dismembered
fragments of the factional Pop party, who
stand off and lie at each other. But this
beautiful thought was touchingly dram
atized one afternoon last week al the
Union Stock Yards. The two big buffalo
which are penned there are not of the
most gentle and affectionate disposition
and this hot weather and the flies and the
boys who annoy and poster them worse
than the heat and the bugs, have produc-
ed in them a disposition little short of the

having gained several hundred pounds
during their incarceration at the cattle
pens Of the yards. Left alone and they
are quiet. but leased and tormented, they
will lower those massive heads and with
a rush will butt them terribly against the
palings of their enclosure. In fact the
yard foreman has to watch their pens all
the time to nail on new planks where they
have shivered and split them into tooth
picks by their pile driver blows. The
posts get loose and the heavy timbers are
torn away about every day. Some time
ago a cat climbed into one of the feed
troughs OF the buffalo pens and in due
course Of events five little kittens came
to know that manager as their cradle. A

dash madly around the pens. All the,

"I DON'T CARD IF YOU NEVER COME
PACK -

p On night last week a gentleman Of the
north side who is prominent in the younger
married set invited number Of his friends
to his home. He also has quite a reputa-
ton as a vocalist, having a rich baritone
voice. He plays his own accompaniment
on the guitar. Quite a number Of his
friends knew that ne sang and played well
He is rather modest about exhibiting his
talents, having on Po many occasions been
bored to exhaustion by those who sing
when coaxed." However, after games had
been played and conversation was on the
flag end of discontnuance, someone of the
party proposed that he sing one of the
popular coon songs that are now all the
rage. He didn't want to do it. but a quick,
pleading look from his young wife was
sufficient and he responded. The song he
sang was Il Don't Care If You Never
Come Back" The little group were all
out on the front porch, with the moon
high up in the heavens looking; down on
the happy party. He took up his guitar
got it in tune and sang the song. Quite
a number present had not heard it, and
as it has great deal Of melody 1t made
a decided hit, as in ruth it was well rem
dered and deserved an encore, which was
heartily given. He asked what other songs
they wanted to hear, but with one accord
they ask that he repeat it. This he did.
Probably il was the moon, to whose door
so much is laid. Perhaps it was the good
singing, or it may have been each soul
was keyed up to just that particular song.
AT any rate they insisted that he repeat
it for the third time. So sincere were his
guests that he knew that he was not get
ting jeshed and as they were at his home
he felt it became him to do their bidding.
So II happened that for the third time he
sang the song that to him was getting TO
be decidedly chestnutty. Shortly after the
little party broke up and the host and
hostess walked down to the gate and bid
their friends good night. 1t was the young
wife. however, that said: call again; so
glad that you enjoyed yourselves" The
husbands mind was somewhere else, but
at any rate, just as they were leaving in
a we'll moduated voice but perfectly clear
he sang: IL don't care if you never come
back" He got another encore.
