THE Nashville American says:
Congressman Gains brought out
an important point for democrats in
his speech before the First Ward
Club Monday night, when be said
there were 1000 democratic voters
in the Tennessee Volunteer Regi-
ments. Mr.. Gaines estimates that
of the 5000 Tennesseeans in the
volunteer regiments only one-fifth
vote the republican ticket. These
facts are of Importance, because
they show that every democratic
voter must be COTTON to the polls in
November. Mr.. McMillin will
doubtless win by largely increas-
ed majority, but campaign managers
in the various counties must bestir
themselves to bring out full vote.
Remember the ancient saying that
eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty

Gen. Forests War Horse.

The strong attachment
which horse sometimes ex-
bibits for his master is touch
ingly shown by an incident
given in Brakes Annals of
the Army of Tennessee.
During Gen. Forests brill
liant and memorable move
ment against the flank and
rear of Col. Coburn's regi-
ment at Thompson's Station,
he was mounted on his favor
lite horse, Roderick. Desiring
to press the enemy from a
strong position across an open
field, he appeared upon the
flank of one of his regiments
and ordered it to move up.
The men leaped to their feet,
and with loud cheers, dash
ed forward under a hot fire.
The general, attended by his
son, Lieut.. William Forrest,
accompanied the charge, and,
in the conflict which results
ed in the overthrow of the
enemy, Roderick was wound
ed in three places. The gen
eral dismounted and changed
horses with his son, charging
him to lead Roderick to the
rear and have his wants we'll
attended to. On reaching
the hostlers, Lieut.. Forrest
had the horse stripped of sad
die and bride, supposing
that he was too badly wound
ed to attempt to get out of
the way. But Roderick, as
soon as he was set at liberty,
began to nose around, evil
IDENTIFY in search of his mas
ter, and when Gen. Forrest S
voice, clear and unmistakable,
was heard in the distance di-
recting another attack, Rod
erick instantly pricked up his
ears and neighing eagerly in
answer, dashed away before
he could be intercepted, guild
ed by the sound of battle,
which at that moment broke
out afresh. Lieut.. Forrest,
fearing his fathers displeas-
ure, Immediately mounted,
and with several attendants,
gave chase, but Roderick out
stripped his pursuers and
when found was following
quietly at the generals heels,
having leaped three fences in
his progress, besides getting
another wound, from which
he was bleeding freely. The
General was in great wrath
over the supposed negligence,
but when the case was ex=
planned to him he burst into
tears and threw his arm about
the horse. 1t was the last
time he caressed him, for a
little while afterwards the
old horse died. His love for
his master had killed him.

Every woman breads the ordeal

constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the

PERPETUAL JAG MAN.
MUST STAY DRUNK OR LOSE A
LARGE FORTUNE.
An Albanian Whom a Respectable, So
Der Life wouId Lose Nearly
500 GOO

&1OO,O 900.
Many a young mans Inheritance has
depended upon his good behavior But
there is one in this country whose pos
session of a fortune rests entirely upon
the condition that he shall always be
dissipated, If he should lead respect
able, sober life he would lose nearly
100000. By keeping himself in con
tinued state of intoxication he retail MS
a handsome income.
These facts are vouched for by Law
yer Paul P. Harris, firm of Harris &
Dalton, No. 81 Dear bon street, Chicago.
From him the details of this remarka-
bic case are learned.
The young mans grandfather was a
wealthy Alabama planter who did not
like most southerners, lose his fortune
in the civil war. Having in early life
Travelled the path of the spendthrift
himself he was determined that his
grandson, to whom he intended to
leave one-half Of his property, should
not squander his inheritance. SO in
his will he Inserted a clause to the eff
feet that if the young man drank in
tOXicants to excess the trustees should
pay him only the income from 500, 900.
If, on the other hand, he was serIous>
minded and Well-behaved, he should
have the whole sum.
Up to three years ago the young
man was all that his grandfather could
desire him to be. Then he engaged in
business and that really was his undo
ing. OF an accommodating nature, he
endorsed notes of his friends to the
amount of $3S 900. That lead to bust
ness complications and final failure,
and he owed altogether more than $780,
600. Then his grandfather died.
The young man did not object to
paying his own debts. but he baked at
making good the obligations of his
friends, whose notes he had fOOlishly
Endorsed. so what could he do?
If the trustees paid him his 1nherit>
ance of $1,000 the creditors would
pounce upon it, and what with court
costs, interest, ETC., there would be Its
tie left. On the other hand land a
bright idea it seemed to him-if he ac-
quired a perpetual jag the trustees
could pay him only the income-about
$4,000 year. And on that sum any
energetic young man can certainly
make goOC any required amount of dis
sipation.
therefore the young man travels
about the country in a never-lapsing
state Of hilariUy, good humor and mix.
ed speech. At regular intervals he re-
ports himself TO the trustees to con-
vince them that he is very dlssipated
chap indeed. SO far far he has pres
vented them from giving him the $780,
600.
Just now his address is "any old bar.
room," Chicago. The saloon keepers,
naturally, have an affectionate regard
for him.-New York World.

INDEMNITY t:aAlNe. LOSS.
Some Ancient Instances of Insurance
Can Be Easily Found.

Probably the first recorded instance
| of insurance was one mentioned by
Livy. During the second Punic war the
| contractors for delivering corn into
Spain stipulated that the government
should indemnify them against loss by
the enemy or tempest. Cicero, too, aft
er his victory i'll Oilicia, seems TO have
obtained security against the loss Of his
booty during it's transit to Rome. These
instances, however, are not regarded as
true cases of insurance by many author"
tiles, who assert that only after the re-
vival of commerce in the tenth century
did it come into vogue. If this be so,
the first mention of insurance is the
establishment in 1910 at Bruges at the
request of the inhabitants of a chamber
of assurance.
"The contract of reciprocal insurance
was known likewise in Portugal in the
fourteenth century, and in the fifteenth
(Sept. 10, 1866 King Edward of Por-
tugal writes from Lisbon that the mer-
chant vessels of the English, which had
been chartered for the Tangier expedi-
ton, had not been insured, owing to
the fault of their proprietors, while
those of the Portuguese, even of the
royal navy, were. " 1t is probable, how
ever, that insurance came into use in
Italy early in the twelfth century and
was by the Lombards transplanted into
those countries with which they had
commercial dealings. To them, there
FORE the invention of insurance, as it is
now understood, is generally conceded.
