Martin was a good and careful shep-

known to neglect the safety of his
sheep.
But on this morning, as he crossed
the moors in the face of that binding
storm, he recognized the fact that it
would take him all his time to pre-

this storm. The other shepherds were
off, also, in different directions; but
the district under Martins special
charge was the most remote and the
one soonest in danger, because it lay
in situation that exposed it to the
inclemency of the weather.

 The cause for Jacobs sudden whlm in making such an abrupt change in the weather is as yet unexplained, but numer- ous theories have been advanced. Some say that he has formed a combination with the saloon men and caused cold snap to enable them to sell hot Tom and ferries.
 But probably the most plausible reason so far suggested is that in taking his daily ride astride the weather cock he snagged his crash suit in such manner that it had to be sent to the dry dock for re- pairs. In the meantime Jacobs was com pelled to resume his winter clothing, put his freezer in blast in order that he might be comfortable.

chise was restored. Political disabilities were removed at first in minor forms and from one class of ex-confederates after another. Office holding by those who had been disqualified was made legal But the prohibition against appointments to places in the army and navy continued. At length congress passed a special act to let an ex- confederate get into the signal service. Later ex-confederates became eligible to the army and navy offices but the prohibit tion still applied to ex-confederates who had held commissions in the army and navy before the war. They were the last to be entirely forgiven and made eligible for mill itary rank.

Last Discrimination Wiped Out

In the winter of 1896 the whole country was aroused to high pitch of patriotism by President Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan boundary, committing the United States, under the Monroe doctrine, against British aggression toward a South American republic. Southerners vied with northerners Tn their enthusiastic promises to sustain the government. When this feeling was strong Senator Hill, of New York, called attention to the almost for gotten section quoted above. That the south should have no handicap put upon it's patriotism, he suggested the section should be wiped off the books. He intro duced bill to that effect, and it became law on the 31st of March, 1S96
 That repeating act made possible today the appointment of Fitzhugh Lee and Jo- seph Wheeler to be major generals They are the first who held commissions in the army before the war, and served in the confederacy, to be appointed to places in the army. President McKinley's action to- day wipes out the last discrimination against ex-confederates. s
 There still remains in the statutes a pro- vision that an ex-confederate can not be a cadet at West Point, but it became defunct great many years ago.
 Three of the major generals created today may be obliged to give up good official po- sltions to quality for military glory. The law seems to be explicit It says:
 NO person holding an office under the United States shall be member of either house (of congress) during his continuance in said office"
 Senator Sewall and Representatiy ye Wheeler do think they will be obliged to resign before they can become generals Law officers of the army think they must resign. Another provision of the statute provides that an officer of the army can hold no civil office. Consul General Lee, 1t seems, will have to resign the place he now holds to enter the army. A major general ship pays $7,500( while that of a senator or representative pays $5000

The remarkable cure of Capt. Wescott is,
therefore, of special interest, and is posi-
tive proof that prostauc enlargement is
durable. He had heard of the Solvent
faith He finally decided to give il test,
and the results We're astonishing. He
says: Il had been afflicted for twenty-five
years with chronic prostate obstruction.
The catheter was my constant companion
and as much necessity as food. had
little faith in Soiyent-Alterans, having
been treated by Specialists in Bellevue hos
pital with no benefit, and had returned
home fully convinced no cure could be
found by their treatments. When l learn
ed of Sovent-Aiterans l determined TO
make another effort, with the result that /
have not used the catheter for more than
three years. now pass urine with perfect
freedom. 1t comes quickly without effort,
the bladder is fully drained of Its contents
and there Is no distress attending the eff
fort" Capt. Wescott today is completely
cured, and naturally recommends the Sol
vent-Alterans system highly.
1t is our belief that hundreds of our
readers can have the same good fortune
that Capt. -Wescott had. The Solyent-Al-
terans system is certainly an Improvement
on old methods. Among its many advan-
tages is the absence of pain and free
dom from danger: no operation is needed,
nor is there loss of time from work. Ev-
cry man can know the full truth in regard
to the Solvent-Alterans. A finely Illus
trated book describing the system can be
obtained for the asking. All that you need
do is to send your name and address and
the book will be sent sealed, by mail, free
of any expense. We believe the Solvent
AlteranS system for urethral and prostate
troubles Is worth investigating. Every af-
hfcted man should Immediately send for
the book. Address the Empire Medical
Company, 156 R, Smith Building, Boston,

and that his house had been vacant for
months as a result OF noise caused by the
boys.
Acting in accordance with his com

Sylvester to issue orders prohibiting the
boys from playing football on the lot.
The order had hardly been promulgated
before n second communication of an en-

from a. L. Huntington, of the United
