markable to see the way in which she made casts to the right and left until she hit off the scent and ran down her quarry. For this she only got third place, Chatley Regent being first and Hubert second.
 That Mrs. Oliphant's dog is very re- markable one was shown in the trials for couples. He was put down with MT. Oli- phant's Chatley Consort as a companion, and they ran very nicely, the dog leading all the way, and for the first time during the day we heard the hounds give tongue. Although she has a large stud of blood hounds, Mrs. Oliphant has only lately taken to training them to run from scent. What they require, she says, is infinite patience. They don't want hurrying. Given patience they may be trained to do wonderful things.
 As for the trials as a whole, an expert g view expressed to me was that they were not long enough. They ought to have been a couple of miles, but, as my friend said, they were reliable as showing what might be done if hounds were properly and sys- tematically trained.

"A ROUGH RIDERS STORY.
How Happy Jack Got the Drop on
 Spanish hSharpshooter

From Leslie's Weekly.
 One spot there was in the rough riders camp where you could always find curi- ous group, visitors an dtroopers; this was about Josie's cage, Josie being a mountain lion, one of the regimental pets. To watch Josie snarl and show her white fangs, to admire the daring of her tanner, the one rough rider whose touch she would permit, as he rolled her, splitting and clawing, on her back, and cuffed her playfully, and otherwise displayed his mastery; to see her welcome poor little frowsy Cuba, the regi- mental yellow dog, and pat him with her paws, and show that she loved him-these were sights that never grew tame for the followers of Col. Roosevelt. It was in this group one morning that I met Happy Jack" and for an hour or so thereafter l enjoyed the picturesqueness of his talk. "Happy Jack is a product of Arizona; in time of peace he delves the ground for pre- cious metal, and breaks the monotony of things by playing faro, tacking bad men and painting the evidence of his presence over the visage of frontier towns. He does all things, good or bad, with delight, and it is not on record that he ever was afraid. He is a sharp featured, clean-shaven young man of about thirty. He speaks English

''DAUGHTERSOF THE 6ONFEDERA6Y''  COnederacy.

The Daughters of the Revolution do work which is largely historic and educa- tional, such as restoring landmarks ana preserving records and legends. So with other societies. But the U. D. c. have a practical everyday work which is best ex- plained by their president in this letter, written short time. ago to this news paper.
 Editor Age-Herald
 Dear Sir: In reply to your question as re- gards the organization known as the Limited Daughters of the Confectionery" l would say that the objects of this division are social, benevolent, historical and mem orial. To accomplish these purposes 1t will see:
 First. To bring into organization all women who are qualified for membership in the local chapters. Uniting the confederate women by similar ties of loyalty to memo ries and principles as are seen to bind to- gether confederate veteran and sons or veterans
 Second. To fulfill the duties of sacred charity towards confederate veterans Third To collect and preserve material for true history of the war between the 1 confederate states and the United states or 1 America; and to unite with the con1eoera.e veterans in the determination that Ameri- can history shall be properly taught in the public schools of the state. Also to use its influence towards attain ing this object in all the private schools. Fourth. To erect monuments to the ne roes of the confederacy." Besides we care for the graves Of our confederate dead in the south and are pre- pairing to care for those we have buried In the north. Two and one-half miles distant from the village of West Appomattox on hill near the historic old court house or where the court house once stood is com etery. In this cemetery there are nineteen graves. Eighteen of these are "our'' boys who wore the gray. The other grave IS that of "Union Soldier side py slue sIeep "The Blue and the Cray" They are all cared for just the same.
 'Memorial day here. when we scatter flowers over our dead, we scatter them over the union soldiers too. Very respect fully. ,.,,oor President Apponattox Chapter, Virginia

like anybody else dialect writers to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Tell him about how you got the Spanish shaIpshooter. Happy" said one of the group.
 "Yes," said I, ''tell me about the Spanish sharpshooter."
 Withmout further urging Happy Jack" took the center of the stage and proceeded thus;
 Ut was on the great day when pretty much everything happened down there the 1st of July-and I had just gone back from the firing line few hundred yards to carry a wounded comrade out of danger But it looked as if I'd done the wrong thing, for just as came up to where some doctors and orderlies were, zip came bul- let under my hat and went into l. gentle man behind me. I was just thinking what a lot of life there was in that spent ball, when zip came another bullet on the other side of my head and landed in tree.
 That's no spent ball. said I; there's a lad getting a range on me-
 |" Its a Spanish sharpshooter somewhere about said an orderly; he's killed eight or nine men in the last half hour. See 'em there. He pointed to a lot of dead bodies.
 "'Well.' said l. If that's the case I guess I'd better go hunting for that Spanish sharpshooer.' So goes down on the ground and gets under cover, and I waits and watches to make out where the fel- low Is. You see, he had smokeless powder and it was job to fix him. "I guess it took me fifteen minutes before found him: he was high up in a cocoanut palm, close to the trunk; just made dark spot there like crows nest. So throws up my sight to six hundred yards, gets goed and steady, and then says. Al mighty God. put justice and Christianity in this shot and then pulls the trigger. I said that because I was shooting with a Krag-Jorgensen, and I ain't SD well used to them. If I'd had a Winchester wouldn't have needed to pray; a Winches- ter is Happy Jacks graft every time. We'll sir. it worked all right. Justice and Christianity prevailed. and my friend. the Spanish sharpshooter. came tumb'ing out of that cocoanut tree SO fast he never knew what hit him. He fell forty feet and was dead before he hit the ground"

Those Sons nf Fath CTS

Washington Letter to New York Mail ani l Express.
 A great deal has been said and printed about the appointment of "sons of fathers, grandsons and nephews to staff appoint ments. The president did appoint less than forty young men who happened to have illustrious ancestors, but they were all bright, accomplished men, who had made regulations in their own sphere and who were anxious to serve their country by going to the front. With less than half a dozen exceptions all of these men did good work after they had few weeks experience. The records show that the young men in the army did the best work; were more energetic and efficient than many of the older ones. few figures will show exactly how many favorite sons the President appointed, and like all other criticisms and complaints the official fig ures will show how a single example has been taken for the whole.
 sPresident Mckinley appointed S36 genei al and staff officers. Of these B were sons Of distinguished ancestors, 25 were sons of fathers" as critics have called them, 4 were grandsons, were nephews 1 was a on-in-!aw and were appointed, as the yellow journals declare, by social pull"
 Of all the staff appointments 40 were chosen by senators and appointed on their recommendation. Ten of the senators were democrats, and of these more than one asked for and received more than one ap- pointment. Twenty-six staff officers were appointed on recommendation of represen- tatives in congress. Certainly If the rep resentatives of the people could not rec ommend appointments, to whom could the president turn for advice?
 Of all the S36 appointments but three were President Mckinleys personal ap- pointments, one was personal to Vice Pres ident Hobart; six by personal recommenda- tion of the secretary of war and one by that of Senator Hanna, but there were ?9 other senators who asked the same favor and the president granted what they de- sired.

BLOODHOUNDS
 WHEN AT WORK
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 To begin with, when bloodhounds are used for tracking criminals it is not in the presence of 200 or 800 spectators; and It IS not surprising that some of the animals, when they came off a long railway journey and found themselves in strange surround fngs, should have been rather "at sea-" But, allowing for these things, must say that today's proceedings have shown that -he bloodhound is capable of doing won- derful work, even under abnormal condi- tions and there is no reason to doubt that he might do even more wonderful things were he systematically trained for his work. For this reason the presence of two or three chief constables was interesting, and their number might well have been in- creased to advantage, as our police are not such adopts at the detection of crime as to enable them to dispense with any fresh methods which may be suggested for their assistance.
 The place where the trials were to be held was kept profund secret to the last. in spite of the inquiries which were made from all parts of the kingdom. The events of today have shown how wise this course of action was. There were, as I have said, not more than 200 or 300 spectators, and
 
 they were all anxious to promote the suc- cess of the trials. Sir Charles Legard and the stewards had no difficulty in keeping clear course for the hounds. but had the trials been public, so great is the love Of the Yorkshireman for every kind of sport that there would have been an enormous crowd, which would have spoiled the day. As it was, when those who presented them- .aix,as at No platform at Scarborough Station this morning were shown to spe- cial train, they had not the slightest idea whither they were going. It was only after tie train had started that we knew that we were on the Whitby line, and 1t was not until the train had stopped that we found ourselves at Ravenscar Station, about twelve miles from Scarborough, and right on tho edge of the Yorkshire moors. at Robin Hoods Bay.
 Let it be said at once that there was

4 Prominent Memphian Writes.

Dr. H. Mozley, Atlanta: Having been a great sufferer for three years from indi- gestion, and been treated by many physi- clans, who failed to give me any relief. Continuing to grow worse my brother ad- vised me to try Dr. Mozley's Lemon Elixir which remedy he had used for several years. I commenced its use, and must say that your Lemon Elixir is the greatest medicine on earth. I have never suffered a day since I commenced using Lemon Elixir Thanking my brother for his ad- vice and you for Lemon Elixir, am forever your friend,
