THE OFFICIAL TIME.

as such.

The necessity that there shall be only one
man who 'has the say" in a military com
mand Is thoroughly recognized in the United
States army. A story is told of Gen. Shat
ter, commander of the American expedition
airy force for the invasion Of Cuba, which IT,
Illustrates the punctilio of the regulars in this
regard.
AT certain frontier post at which Shafter.
who then held an inferior rank, was COM
mander many. years ago, a discussion arose
among several officers as to the exact time
OF day. A captain, with his watch in his
hand, said:
1T Is now exactly three o'clock"
oh, no, said lieutenant, "by my time
It 5 eight minutes past three"
a third officer drew his watch out of his
pocket. 4 know my time is exactly right"

At this juncture Maj. Shafter looked at
his silver watch.

remarked, but / wish you TO understand
that IN this command it Is five minutes past

ganization known as the Woman's Relief
Corps, whose aid to the soldier of to-day,
fighting against the world for living, is no
less notable than the heroism of the COS.
One of the most earnest members of the
corps at Byron, ILL.,, Is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once put a stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken seri-
ously i'll. The family physician told her
that she had reached critical period of her
life, and must be very careful. His pre-
scriptions and treatment did not benefit her,
and other treatment proved unavailing.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March che took
the first box of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like a new woman.
Mrs Houseweart said: 81 have taken
eight boxes, and have been improving since
took the first dose. do not believe could
have lived without the pills. They have doEe

learning in the same way he did when a tow

could spell when he tackled the typewriter,
but not IN the same way. Now he distinctly
enumerates each letter, and does it, too. with
the greatest care. 1t is funny thing, but he

Tha WarIa Over

And now our thoughts are all OF peace and
home. There are, too often, people to be
found who have no home, and it is to them
these few words are addressed. If you real
" want home you can easily get one, but
you should act at once before the relapse
from the war puts prices on the advance.
In Marinette County, Wisconsin, the very
finest farming land is to be had now at
most modest figure. Excellent home mar
kets are at hand to take whatever the farm
er raises, and good prices are given. These
lands are on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway, and full information con-
corning them viii cheerfully be furnished

A tailor in Chicago accidentally swallowed
a needle and died as result of the inham-
nation set up by the small needle. Little
things have frequently great power, as Is
seen in few small doses of the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which, however,
has an entirely different effect from the
needle in this notice. The Bitters make
nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and
well again. They are also good for dyspepsia
and constipation.

New Mother-in-Law story.

4 Cleveland man who went east to spend
his vacation brought home with him what ne
thinks is a new mother-in-law story. Moth
er-in-law stories are a drug on the market,
but this one seems to De little less druggy
than usual. A man and his wife went to
Europe and the mans mother-in-law went
along Up to this point there is no novelty
in the story. On the voyage the mother-in
law fell i'll and died. OF course she had to be
buried at sea, and so the usual canvas sack
was made, but instead of an iron weight to
sink the body they used big bag of, coal. In
commenting on the arrangements afterward
the bereaved son-in-iaw, who suffered bad

Indoor Photography.

To make good portrait in the ordi- nary room is quite difficult task, as all the light to be had comes through the window and leaves the shadow side of the portrait underexposed This can somewhat be remedied by the use of 0 piece of white muslin about 12 feet long and about feet wide or more.
 Stretch string across the room par allel with the window and fasten it to a point about six feet from the window, and also six feet from the floor. Fasten the muslin over the top of the window and throw the other end over the string, allowing 1t to fall to the floor. This forms a sort of one-hah side of tent, and this somewhat confines the light and re- fleets it on the shadow side of your ob- ject and helps to brighten and soften the light. In using curtains for back ground place them back of the sitter as faras the wall will allow, 80 as to pro- duce soft effect. Place the sitter about three feet from the window and about opposite the far side of the easement Pull the window down from the top, and perhaps 1t would be best to cover up the lower part of the window with some lark cloth or paper. Close all doors so as not to have any draft, and then make the exposure. .-J. A. Roos in New Yeek kaA nhA Tx1fN6k ....-

The Swanzy Mine Sold.

From the Negaunee (Mich.) Iron Herald of the 4th inst. we learn that Thomas M. Wells, receiver of the Escs. nsba River Land & Iron company. has sold the Swsnzy iron mine to the mil lionaire firm of Todd, Stsmbaugh & Co.,, of Youngstown, Ohio, for ss5. 900 who are already in possession and now taking active steps for the early resump- tion of mining operations and further exploration of the property. At the time of the suspension of work some three years ago there were I75. 900 tons of ore in sight. the greater part of which was of the bessemer grade and from 66 to 67 in ircn. Dissensions among the stockholders in regard to assessments required to develop the mine resulted in a suspension of mining operators about three years ago. The recent pur- chasers of the mine have furneoes of their own and can protect the property by using only the best ore. and by not putting the mixed grades on the market to be disposed of ct forced sales as here- tofore
