IA start, followed by something like
a shudder, ran through the party, all
looking up from their cards. Throwing
as wild stare into my eyes as could
command, looked toward the candle
stick, which the imprisoned beetle was
dragging slowly toward the head of the
coffin.
"a yell of dismay burst from the lips
of the three frightened soldiers, and all
broke wildly for the open door. Seeing
that they did not return, gathered up
the scattered cards, and, incidentally,
the money, released the beetle and wait
ed for morning. With the help of a
negro l buried the body and reached
the camp in time for breakfast. had
money to spend for weeks, and not one
of my three comrades ever asked me
where got it."-Chicago Chronicle.

"Does lovey want anuzzy bitey-wite OF
candy?"
With a common impulse the two men
quilted the spot. 1t was more than war
riors and sea dogs could endure. AS
they moved away the breech of the gun
came into their range of vision. a
block of wood made a comfortable seat,
and upon it were a bridal couple eating
confectionery and conjugating the verb
"to love-" wholly unconscious that there
is no better speaking tube than 13'
inch gun. 1t was the old story of the
birds who built nest in the old can
mons mouth Washington Star.

minutes, I'm not ashamed to confess,
l was the worst scared volunteer who
ever hankered for war. There were tens
of thousands who experienced the same
fright, however, and they were not nee
essarily towards, either. But the sight
of a couple of thousands of rife bar
rels suddenly and most unexpectedly
rising out of dense underground in
thick wood, and all seemingly blazing
away at your exposed bosom, is enough
to send cold shiver down any mans
back, no matter how high he may stand
in the hard school of courage.
'It was at Fair Oaks, May 81, 1862,
that Bill here and first saw war, ac-
tuaI, terrible war, after weeks of golden
dreams of valorous achievement and no
thought of battles grim horrors. We
were in the same company, of which I
was junior lieutenant and Bill was
sergeant. Our regiment was held in
reserve for some hours after the fight
opened, and the chatting to get at the
Johnnies and spill gore was intense, es-
pecially among the men of my raw COM
pany. Long standing at arms, too, had
begun to tell on them, and they were
muttering and apparently on the verge
of mutiny. But at last came the well
come order to go into action, and away
with whoop we rushed, making a
detour so as to fall on Johnston's flank.
Just as my company swept up to the
rattlesnake fence which edged an ad-
iacent wood banked high with under
brush about 1000 of the enemy arose
with the rebel yell and poured one
thunderous volley into us. To say the
unexpected fire caused check is super
fuous. 1t simply caused a stampede.
But in few moments the confusion had
subsided and | looked around to see
how our men had stood it. Gentlemen,
cannot express to you how gratified l
was 10 find that every man under my
command was still at my side, like a
faithful hero. Wasn't that so, Bill?"
"Yes," responded Bill, with laugh
which could have been heard block
away, 1--WE were all with you to man
half a mile away, and fat on our
stomachs behind a stone fence."-N. Y.

the room.
"rhe second candle was less than an
inch long," said Sam, when the great
event of the night occurred. The game
had been warm one and several hun
dred dollars lay upon the coffin. 1t was
confederate money, worth only small
fraction of its face value, but it was all
we had and was priced accordingly.
The great event was jackpot of sur
prising proportions, the climax of the
long play. The cards had been dealt,
and several preliminary raises submit

fully an inch and a half in length,
crawling toward me on the floor. Stoop-

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

To heredity, TO the transmission Of
traits from sire TO son, we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and development.
II each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature, excentricities Of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family,
AS long as can rccollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago
my hair began to show signs of turning.
resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using it only few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. I still

WARTIME POKER.
The Queer Trick OF a Losing Player
Scares the Winners Away
from the Money.

The trade of killing men, which is the
chief end of war, so far from depressing
soldiers, seems to actually enliven
them, causing a return to the pranhs
of their schoolboy days. This has been
the history of war in all ages, and many
of the best stories in the world are
those of military life. Sam Williams,
the old-time editor of the Chicago News
paper Union, tells of an amusing Incl
dent that occurred in Mississippi while
he was soldier in the confederate
army.
About mile from the camp poor
man suddenly died. He had lived alone
in little cabin, and there was no one to
bury him. Learning of this, Sam and
three other members of his company
obtained leave of absence to 60 and per-
form the last sad rites. They arrived at
the cabin about nightfall and placed the
body in a rude coffin they had brought
with them. With something of the
sentiment of civil life, they decided to
keep watch and vigil beside the coffin
until morning, as their leave of absence
extended until the following day. They
had brought some candles with them,
one of which, fitted in a tin candlestick,
was soon burning upon the coffin.
Time soon began to drag a little
heavily and one of the party suggested
story, objected to this, but the ma
jority ruled, and with beans for chips
the cards were soon Tipping merrily

THE LITTLE BREADMAKER.


Take two quarts, one pint OF flour,
Fine and white as can be found;
Pour 1t heaping on the sitter
Resting on the bread-pan round.
OF sugar add one tablespoonful,
And the same amount of salt,
Mix and rub them on the sitter
Till all's through, then call halt.
Save one cupful of the mixture
Till to knead 1t you begin,
In one quart of bloodwarm water
Melt a yeast-cake smoothly in.
Pour the water on the flour,
Mixing both into a dough.
Knead the dough for fifteen minutes
Some say twenty. Don't be slow.
When the dough's no longer sticky,
Cover 1t, and say goodnight.
Place 1t lvhere twill not be chilly
If youSMish to find 1t light.
In the morning you divide 1t.
Make three loaves, and knead again.
Let them rise little longer,
To the pans edge. Place them then
In the oven. Bake one hour.
BY that time they should be done.
Draw them forth, and cool them slowly
There! Bread-making's only fun.

IS said of the daughters of Queen Vic
toria that each one of them was taught,
not only to sew well, but to mend and
darn with great neatness, and to make
over those gowns which were counted
worth it. The girl whose wardrobe is
not large makes her first mistake in
buying cheap material of color that
is the fancy of the moment. Instead
when only one new gown may be had
during the season, it should be of a
fabric that will stand wear, that will
endure making over, and of color of
which neither the wearer nor the
looker-on will soon grow weary. 1t is
an extravaganza {" have gown made
in the extreme of the fashion, for the
extreme soon goes out, ard then you
have a failure on your hanos.t

Oh, light and merry of heart are they when
they swing into port once more,
When, with more than enough OF the
"green-backed stuff" they start for
their leave o'-shore:
And you'd think, perhaps, that the blue
bloused chaps who loll along the street
Are a tender bit, with salt on It, for some
fierce "mustache" to eat
Some warrior bold, with straps of gold,
who dazzles and fairly stuns
The modest worth of the sailor boys-the
lads who serve the guns.
But say not word till the shot is heard
that tells the fight is on,
Till the long deep roar grows more and
more from the ships of "Yank" and
Don"
Till over the deep the tempests sweep of fire
and bursting shell,
And the very air is a mad despair In the
throes of living hell;
Then down, deep down, in the mighty ship,
unseen by the midday suns,
You'll find the chaps who are giving the
raps-the men behind the guns!
Oh, well they know how the cyclones blow
that they loose from their cloud OF
death.
And they know is heard the thunder-word
their fierce ten-incher saith!
The steel decks rock with the lightning
shock, and shake with the great re-
coil,
And the sea grows red with the blood OF
the dead and reaches for its spoil
But not till the foe has gone below or turns
his prov and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release
to the men behind the guns!
