A CRITICAL TINE
During the Battle Of
Santiago.
SICK OR WE'LL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of San
tiagO dc Cuba were all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts i'm Getting
AmmunitiOns and RatiOns to
the Front Saved the Day.

p. =. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 30,
says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for it
was a case of rush and rush night and
day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and %rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoca Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, l sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour Of
our army, for If the packers had been
unable to work there would have been
no way Of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that a wagon train
could use. Mycomrade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa, and | know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers OF this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moincs,

them the Chevalier de Bouillon conceiv-

house, for which idea he received an
annual pension of 5000 francs. He was
paid, but the kings debtors were not,
for. although the letters patent We're

One day, shortly after his death,

Philippe d'Orleans, the regent. Mon

who go about yelling that his majesty

Chesterfield sunerflcialitr.

Chesterfield idea of excellence was
essentially superficial, for his praise of
solid requirement and genuine princi-
pie is always coupled with the assertion
of their entire inutility if unaccompa-
MED by grace, external polish and an
agreeable manifestation. He omits all
consideration OF their intrinsic worth
and absolute dignity; their value to the
individual, according TO him, is wholly
proportional to his skill in using them
in a social form.
In one of his earlier letters to Philip
Stanhope he writes: What an advan-
tage has Il graceful speaker with gem
teel motions, handsome figure, over
one who shall speak full as much good
sense, but who is destitute of these or
naments. In business how prevalent are
the graces, how detrimental is the want
of them! If you should not acquire
manners, all the rest will be of little
use to you. BY manners l mean engag-
ing, insinuating, shining MAJ :iers, a
distinguished politeDess, an almost ir-
resistible address. superior graceful
ness in all you say and do. !" He would
have manners overlap individuality and

1t consisted chiefly OF old juRks which
had not been in the water for more than
80 years. During this heightened period
the sea had receded, and the land had
formed to the extent Of more than a
mile, the consequence being that these
ancient vessels were high and dry, their
masts, sails and gear had rotted away
from the long exposure to the sun and
