The Stories Of the War.

Never in the worlds history was so
much written about war in so short a time
as has been printed about the troubles
between this country and SPAIN The
newspapers have already spent close ON
to a million dollars. aud there have been
other enterprises, so that the reporting Of
the var has aggregated an yenOFmals eE.y
penditaFe, and the service Of many thous-
snds ef pens.
But, amer all, the fine work Of such
professionals as have given to the readers
of The Baltimore American the best ac-
counts of the different events. the fact re-
mains that much, if not the most, of tru-
est writing has been that which viii never
see print-the messages to mothers and
sweethearts, the irregular lines penned
or peneiled in the twilight or in the early
morning, and the confidential Oatbursts
which show human nature a. it IS ana
glow with human interest without being
chilled by the thought of publicity.
These are the most precious stories Of
the war, and they will be preserved As no
other messages. Many OF them viii be
filed away with other letters now yellow

Discovered By a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
-withstood its severest test, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way TO
recovery, by purchasing Of US bottle
of DIR. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was so much relieved
on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name Is Mrs.

Dewey a Fighter Even as a Boy.

Before entering Annapolis Dewey
went to the public school in the village,
and also attended military school at
Norwich, where he formeda determin-
alton to enter the navy. Dewey's
father did not think much Of sailors,
and told his son so, but this made no
difference to George. He kept at his
father until he procured him his ap-
pointment to Annapolis. While a
pupil in the district school at Montpe-
lier young Dewey received severe
thrashing, which ne probably remem-
bers to this day. The flogging was ad-
ministered by Major Papgborn, the
schoolmaster, now editor of the Jersey
City Journal. Prior to the coming of
Major Pangborn as master Of the school
the boys had whipped several masters.
Soon after Pangborn had been installed
it was decided that his mettle should
be tried. George Dewey was selected
by the other boys to make the test.
Major Panghorn heard Of the plot.
Dewey was called from his seat in the
midst OF a session of the school. He
refused to respond. The other boys
chuckled. Master Pangborn walked
down TO where young Dewey was seated
and, with the grasp OF Hercules, took
the lad by the collar and yanked him
from his seat and walked him upto the
masters desk. He was accused of the
plot, bat refused to acknO~ ledge it.
When Master Pangborn had finished
with young Dewey he was escorted
home where he had to lie abed for sever
al days as the result of his thTashing.
Dewey was too big-hearted to harbor
up feeling against the schOOl-master,
and afterward there grew up between
pupil and pedagogue the most friendly
feeling.-Demorest's Magazine.

The majority of persons find it hard
to realize that the body should be kept
clean inside as we'll as outside. Cleanll-
ness of the tissues within the body is as
necessary to health and comfort as
cleanliness of the skin. 1t is necessary
to dissolve the waste material which
otherwise would collect in the body and
remove it in the various eXcretions.
These waste materials often are actual
poisons, and their retention is the cause
of many headaches, many rheumatic
pains, many sleepless nights and many
attacks of the blues

aged? Do you lack energy and ambi-
tion? Do you have insomnia? Are you
troubled with neuralgia or rheumatic
pains? These condition arise from a
disordered state of the nerves and blood.
What is needed is DR.. Greene's Ner.
vura blood and nerve remedy to build
up the wasted, weakened, diseased
nerves, and to give supply of purer
and richer blood.
Dr.. Greene's Nervura transforms the
body from a weak, ailing, disordered
condition into a strong and vigorous
one. 1t is the prescription of the great
specialist in chronic diseases, DIR. Greene
