Every woman should realize that her

in the bank of health means one of two
things, life of hopeless suffering or an
early DEATH

womanly way is making big drafts on her

soon be physical bankrupt Disorders of

secretary.
Senator Mason addressed the conven-
ton by invitation and was enthus-
astically received. He discussed the
pledges made by the party in 1896 and
their fulfillment. He praised the Ding
ley bill, saying that "the laboring man
can feed more to his dogs than he could
feed to his children under the free
trade heresy." He declared his opposi-
ton to war for the acquisition of ter
titory. ''We went into this war;" said
he, ''as good Samaritan. and while

In the committee on resolutions there

with such dazzling quickness that he
uttered the remark above quoted.
Coming from man of the undoubted
ability of Joseph, have always re-
garded that remark as one of the great
est compliments that has ever been paid
ITO Gen. Miles as an Indian fighter.
Grover Cleveland was president
when Gen. Schofield retired. Do you
know that there are no two men in this
republic who ought to have greater adj
miration for each other than express
ident Cleveland aud Gen. Miles. Their
lives have been parallel in civil and
military life.
while Grover Cleveland was poor
Bowers, in Buffalo, Nelson A. Miles was
a poor boy clerking in a store in Boston.
Grover Cleveland possessed exceptional
ability and sturdy qualities, and Law
yer Bowers took him into his home and
into his office and encouraged his early
struggles. Using military terms, may
say that Grover Cleveland passed
through all grades of promotion in civil
life, just as Gen. Miles has passed
through all the grades of promotion in
military life. Just as the poor boy in
Buffalo was entering upon the practice
OF the law, the poor boy in Boston was
entering upon the military profession.
Strangers to each other, they were
struggling along the pathway of life;
and their lives were running in paral-
lels, each Of them achieving distinc-
ton and success by sheer native ability
and merit. Each of them possessed the
genius of labor, and they toiled and
plodded along, each honestly doing his
best in his own sphere, and then their
lives converged and they came together
in the national capital. The poor boy
of Buffalo was chief executive, and the
poor boy of Boston became commander
o. the army. SMITH D. FRY.

Bill says there never was such per-

in the entire army.
The Nez Perces chief, Joseph, who
was one of the greatest of Indian lead
ers, had been pursued by several Wig
orous fighters, with good commands,
and had eluded all of them. When Gen.
Miles, however, followed him and sur
rounded him, and when the old chief
realized that he had been out-generaled
in his own style of warfare, and in his
own country, he expressed amazement
and said: Who is this new chief that

came up with the Nez Perces and found
them entrenched. The country was

u of the United States. is
very popular with all soldiers who
have served with him. The regular as.
we'll as the volunteer soldiers admire
and respect him.
II served under Gen. Miles at one
time, said an army officer on duty in
the war department., and lave great
respect and admiration for him. 1
think that you may say that all the Off
GERS and men who have ever been on
duty with Gen. Miles respect and adj
mire him forhis manly qualities, superb
courage, military genius and perfect
integrity.
Zone thing you may emphasize, and
that is the fact that all young West
Pointers who have served with Miles
love him and swear by him. He has
had the loyal and earnest support as
well as the affection of the young Off
GERS who have been SO fortunate as to
see actual campaigning with Miles
as their commander. His strongest
Irlends IN the army to-day are
West Pointers. The old prejudice
against volunteer officers is fast dying
out. 1t is dead, so far as Gen. Miles is
concerned. I am West Pointer my
self, and tell you not even Napoleon
had the confidence and admiration Of
his soldiers more than Gen. Miles has
had from his officers and men, and T
am one of them who would cheerfully
obey any order coming from him, no
matter what peril might be in the i'm
mediate future for me.

paigns? When we were on the from
tier, with Indians outnumbering us len
to one, it was necessary to send out
small detachments to attract large hos
tile bands. On such occasions officers
and men asked but one question, and
that was: will Gen. Miles lead us?'
And when they We're informed that
Miles would be with us, there was no
hesitation, no doubt, no questioning,
but every man felt assured that vic
tory would result, and we were never
disappointed. Our commander chal-

himself. lie is absolutely without fear
of anything mortal. In the Nez Perces
campaign officers begged him not to
expose himself, because there was
general dread that all might be massa-
cred If he should fall
"Gen Miles always dressed in pic
turesque style when on the frontier. He
wore broad sombrero, blue shirt, red
tie, bucksllin coat and trousers, fringed,
with belt around his waist in which
were pistols and large knife. He was
as well equipped for personal struggle
and danger as Buffalo Bill or any other
ranger. He is one of the bravcst of the
brave, and I have seen him under fire
with his officers and men; always cool,
always aggressive. and ready for every
emergency.
Just after the Custer massacre Gen,
Miles took 225 men and went after Sit
ting Bull and Crazy Horse, who, with
5000 bucks, had settled down for the
winter. That was daring undertak
ing, but. Gen. Miles captured those In
dians who at that time regarded them
selves invincible.
AS an illustration of his carefulness
and keenness in dealing with the Indi-
ans, you might mention the peace talk
which he had with Sitting Bull at Cedar
creek. The willy and dangerous Sioux
leader sent flag of truce for the pur
pose of arranging terms of capituln-
ton. Gen. Miles and Sitting Bull were
to meet midway between the lines of
Sioux and the Fifth infantry, and have
a nice quiet little peace talk. Accord
ing to the plans they met and held
conference. Within few moments
big Sioux buck sauntered out toward
the general and chief, and came very
close to them. AT the same time, by
a previous order issued by Gen. Miles,
one of the infantrymen sauntered out.
and also approached the parleying COM
manders. Then another Indian quietly
sauntered forth, and at the same time
one Of the infantrymen initiated him.
This continued until there were six
Sioux bucks and six infantrymen sur
rounding Gen. Miles and Sitting Bull.
Gen. Miles then said: You are bad
Indian. All of your bucks here are
armed. They have weapons under their
blankets. You intended to kill me here
in cold blood. If any one of your men
pulls trigger one of my men will kill
you right in your tracks, The old
chief had no desire to go suddenly to
the happy hunting grounds, and warned
his men to return to their places. One
by one they retired, and one by one
the infantrymen returned to their
ranks.
Gen. Miles then said: Now, I will
give you Ave minutes to surrsudAr. q
