In her boudoir woman need not

fure Her thoughts on this subject
are for the becomingness and comfort
Of her headdress. The usual mode of
wearing the hair with one of these
elegant lounging robes is to wave it
back loosely from the forehead with
the knot arranged high or at the
crown Of the head. For low knot at
the back of the neck is almost impos

JEWELED COMBS.
Any quantity of jeweled pins and
combs are caught in these artistic
coiffures and women who have classic
heads often effect jeweled bandos.
The tiny tortoise shell combs set
with turquoise or bright pink coral
are worn to advantage by blondes and
brunettes; and all of the well dressed
women here boast two or three of
these sets" of combs. They are gen
orally sold in sets Of three-two short
er side combs and a longer one for
gathering up and catching the little
stray locks at the back of ones colt

almost encircled with these jeweled

Grants Predecessor.

A letter from Mr.. CNDisbrow of Clay
Centre. kas., to the St. Joseph News,
tells most interesting story in connec-
ton with the career OF s. s. Goode. who
in the early days was young lawyer in
St. 10, but before the outbreak of the
war located in Illinois and became COL
onel of regiment in the command Of
which he was superseded by Ulysses s.
Grant: AT the outbreak of the war;"
says Mr.. Disbrow. IS. 5. Goode was a
resident of Decatur, III. Two companies
were raised in Decatur for the Sth Dick
Oglesby' Regiment. Goode raised another
the call for the first IS. 900 men. The state
then organized and equipped 10 regiments
of militia Goodies company was the
first of our 9TH Regiment to reach the
camp at Nation, SO We took first letter.
and, to be first all around, We elected our
capatin to the rank of colonel. Goode
had had some military experience. having
been with Walker in Nicaragua, and we
thought to elect our captain to the
cOlonelcy was to be near the throne. But
We were terribly mistaken. He proved to
be a whiskey-drinking windbag. He had
no control over the regiment, and none
of us respected him. At the end of 30
days Governor Yates telegraphed him to
boys all got there within day or two.
We were then mustered out of the state
service and reorganized as the 2lst. In
1862, Colonel Goode was still In Decatur.
and helped to organize and drill the 116th
Regiment, but he got no official place.
From that time on l lost track of him
until the close of the war. He was then
keeping saloon in Mexico. Mo. There
he had trouble with the government off,
GERS, refusing to pay his revenue taxes.
He finally made an assault on a federal
collector, who took Goodies pistol from
him and killed him with his own gun.
Thus ended the career of the man who
paved the way for Grant: He might
have had honor himself had he kept the
straight path and made use of the ma
terial over which he was given control.
GOOde was never colonel of the 21st Illi-
nois Regiment, having been its comman-
der only while it was part of the state
militia. Immediately after our reorganiz-
alton Grant was made colonel and we
went to the front without waiting to go
in style. 1t was the same body Of men
Goode had commanded. and by his reck-
lessness he really did pave the way for
Grant.-Kansas City Journal.

TINE civil war VETERANS.
A Look Ahead BY One Of Them 10 The Tina
when They Will All y Gone.

Somebody standing on the curb next
to me on Decoration day as the men Of
the Grand Army marched past" said an
old soldier: said OF them. How young
young. considering that It's thirty-three
years since the close of the war.
And SO they do, sure; It's wonderful
how well they hold their own. / saw
many a man In the ranks with youthful
spirits. and many man that marched
with the same air and manner that he
had thirty-odd years ago in the army.
But there were more men that were old
and growing old: the man tina: knew
them couldn't fail to realize that. And
they can't last forever. There are not SO
many OF them as there WERE you can't
fail to notice that either. and more boards
that only lately were gray have now
grown white. You can't stave Il on the
nation are going. sioM qos@u s rs
But for all that, it will be a long time
before they're all gone, yet. There must
be plenty Of men like me. for instance.
and younger. l enlisted in 81, when ]
was in my seventeenth year. That makes
me in my fifty-third year now. doesn't 1t?
I'm not much on fgures-nO. ffmNst be In
my fifty-fourth year; that'sfa year older
than thought, but young manstill.
Now l don't think 1t unreasonable to
suppose that I shall last twenty years
more: l ought to last more than that:
but suppose last twenty. Why. then
shall be marching down Fifth avenue
with the Grand Army Of the Republic or
the veterans of the, Civil war-maybe
they'll all be one body then-in 1918. or
fifty-three years after the close of the
war.
LAS a matter of fact there will doubt
less be then a very considerable number
of survivors Of the Civil war still, and
some will remain for considerable num-
Der of years after that. But the
time will come when this great body OF
men will have all but disappeared: when.
for instance. OF the many who went from,
this city there will remain but handful.
like the dozen men Who up to within a
few years. constituted the last remnant
of the veterans of 1912. And. distant
though 1t still is, the day will come when

This town was excited, Tuesday
night. over a prize fight which failed
to take place. It was planned to have
the fight pulled on In a well secreted
spot in pasture about IL miles up
the river on the Benton side. and a
ring had been constructed. BY this
arrangement the affair could only be
stopped by Kennebec county officers.
and before they could be summoned
the fight would be over. The princi-
pals were man from Rockland and a
local boxer. At $50 the ROckland
fighter came from Waterville with
about GO hackers. Teams were taken
and the crowd drove to the landing
where they expected to find boats
ready to take them across the river.
The man left in charge had deserted
and the boys had stolen the boats.
The crowd wandered from one place
to another and finally landed at the
driving park. Several hundred men
had collected by this time. After
some lengthy arguments from both
sides 1t was decided to place the ring
on the track. One stake had been
driven when the courage of the local
sport suddenly deserted him and he
very quickly disappeared. On his way
home he rushed heedlessly over barb
ed wire fences and through frog ponds.
finally seeking shelter in a garden on
Railroad street. Many stories are now
being told of the strange antics of our

Mortality In the Seminole War.

The only experience the United
States army has ever had in tropical
warfare was In Florida, from 1885 to
1S42-the seven years war with the
Seminole Indians. While the condi-
lions there were much more favorable
than they are in Cuba, the mortality
from disease was enormous in COM
parison to the number of men en-
ployed. The records show that there
were altogether 74OO troops . engaged
during the seven years fighting
against total of about 5000 Indians.
of whom 1894 were men. 1857 women
and 993 children. The war was carried
on in manner very similar to that
between the Spaniards and the Cub
ans. The Indians would never consent
to stand-up fight unless they had a
great advantage, but lay in ambush
and attacked the soldiers in the dark
whenever they could do so without ex-
posing their own lives. They lived on
the country. the native fruits, roots.
vegetables and game, while the soldiers
were required to carry supplies with
them and were thus handicapped and
retarded in their movements. 1t took
seven years to subdue the savages, and
there was no peace until they were
practically exterminated. At the END
of seven years the lighting men were
reduced to about three hundred, and
they were hidden in the everglades.
During these seven years out Of the
1900 troops employed 1881 died-twenty-
three sailors and fprty-two marines,
the remainder being officers and SOL
diers OF the regular. army. OF this
number only So were killed In battle,
PA died of wounds, and 1859 Of mala-
rial diseases.
AS a result Of the Indian war there
are now on the pension rolls 6661 per-
sons. Of whom 1878 are survivors and
1888 widows. They receive an average
Of $500. 900 year in pensions, and since
1898 have been paid $s,243. 70S The total
amount thus far paid by the govern
ment for pensions growing out of the
Florida war will exceed $4,000. OO0.-
