Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been a
sufferer from scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, d. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re.
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though I am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had / only used your SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that of all who
juffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease AMI forces it out perma-
nent1y.

day he is one of the great army of the
unemployed.
MacFey Is a native Of Evansville, Ind.
He was born there in 1888. At the age
of Is or 16 he secured a position as err
rand boy in the dry goods store of Rob
ert Barnes. With the first money thus
saved he attended night school. In 1897
he formed a partnership with Samuel
Archer and opened a dry goods house.
The { was successful and became
the greatest in Southern Indiana.
Mackey invested in railroad stocks, and
soon after began his wonderful career
in the railroad world. In the sos he
was a stakeholder in the old Evansville
& Charlottesville Railroad, which af-
forwards became the Evansville and
Terre Haute. In 1864 he, with few
others, owned the controlling stock in
the road, which was making money. In
a year or two, with the stock of the
road advancing steadily, Mackey con-
ceived a plan to overthrow the New
York capitalists who controlled the at
fairs of the road and get possession
himself. He worked on that plan until
1880 before he was successful. He
threw the road into the hands of syn
dictate and the next year was elected
president. The dream of his life was
realized.
Iu n ffsrs n~ linz +rfl
road Mackey acquired the F., u. * l..
road, running from Evansville to
Peoria, through a rich, untapped dis
trict. His first and last fight was to
enter the territory of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, controlled by III. II.
Porter, and the F., d. & f. was part of
the plan for q Chicago line. The fol-
lowing year Mackey secured control
and was elected president of the Lou
isville, Evansville and st. Louis Air
Line Road Then he built a road to
Bedford, tapping & rich coal mine and
stone quarry territory. This road was
eventually made the Evansville and
Richmond, and following 1t Mackey
bought the Evansville and Indianapo-
lis, another line 100 miles long. He
then built belt line around Evansville
and his system was complete.
While Mackey was acquiring these
roads the stockholders in New York
and Europe were protesting. The
Evansville and Terre Haute was YER
liable gold mine, but Mackey was TAX
ing the earnings from this and placing
them in the others of his system. His

York stockholders and his falling out

York stockholders and his falling out
with II. H. Porter, president of the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois, which Mr..
Mackey threatened to parallel, brought
his downfall. His stocks were ham,
mered down and finally he was
stripped of his railroad possessions.
With his railroads gone, Mackey turn
ed to his wholesale enterprises and his
hotel to recuperate himself. They lost.
1t was the work of but few months
before they We're gone from him en-
tirely. He had no capital TO maintain
the hotel and business left him. One
by one the employees left. Mackey be-
came day clerk. night clerk, porter, bell
boy and everything else In the place.
His wife became the hotel chamber
maid.
The courts some time ago ordered the
hotel sold. Mrs. Mackey prayed to be
allowed the one room that had been
hers. The court took possession OF
everything else and ii was arranged
that she should he allowed to occupy
that until she died. Years ago she had
built a beautiful chapel ~ a cost Of $780,
600 for Grace Episcopal Church. When
she died her husband did not have
enough money to bury her properly.
The church took charge and saw to her
interment In the family lot as became
her. Two or three days later her sister
found in the dress she had died in a
roll of money. 1t contained $3.50. She
had saved ii that she might have q
decent burial. The church was repaid
with this money.
Since his wife's death Mackeys
plight has become more pitiable. The
few remnants of their home were sold
to pay bills and finally to settle the ac-
counts of the butcher and milkman
who supplied his wife during her last
hours A few days ago Mackey started
out to begin life again ut the age of 65.

CHARLES A. DANA AS AN EDITOR.
He Was Very Punctiiious as to Typo
graphical Details.

In all matters of detail, in literary
manner, in the use of words, in gram.
mar, punctuation and typographical
method he was the most careful and
eXacting of editors. One time an edito,
rial contained two lines of poetry IN
type of the same size as that of the
text, and, as was the author of it, the
familiar signature: Reason, Revela.
ton, Science, Philosophy and Esthetics
all require that these lines should have
been put in small type" Upon another
occasion, when he thought verb had
been improperly used in a manuscript,
he wrote an admonitorv sentence: &c

be unpoetic, and consequently disgust.

escaped his eye. 81 take shame to my.

One day a man in California had sent

peal was received, Mr.. Dana blue-pen.

these words: 'Why not give him a
ripping answer? Give him TIA socialist

When the writer of a book review
had italicized eight or ten of his words,
Mr.. Dana commented thus: This re-
view is the best in the whole lot, and Is
very good; but why in the world an ex-
perienced writer like - wants to pep.

italics l can't imagine"
When the writer of an editorial para
graph in the Sun wrote of "Govs. Cam
eron and Crittenden," the ever watch
full critic in the sanctum got after him
in a note left for me: ''The term
Cows. Gems, 'Capts.', ETC., Is disgust
ing. The titles have no plural as at
tached to any individual name; they
should be repeated, or circumlocu-
ton should be used"
In an editorial article printed in bre-
vier type there had appeared an ex-
tract in agate type; the grammatical
subject of a sentence was in BREWER,
while the verb for it was in the subse-
quent agate line. Mr.. Dana wrote for
my benefit: This passage from big
type to little is contrary to all sound
principles of typographical elegance.
Greeley used to make the passage, and
country newspapers still make it; but
it is wicked"
When a writer for the Sun once de-

How 1t Feels to Re Shot.

l have known a number of men who
have been wounded in battle, and /
have asked several of them how they
| felt when the ball went into them. One
of these men was Gen. Nelson Miles.
He told me that the flesh wounds that
he had received he had hardly felt un-
| ri some time after, but that whenever
| ball struck bone, the sensation was
| terrible. AT Charlottesville be re-
ceived a wound which paralyled him
| from his waist downward, and for
weeks every one thought he would die.
The ball struck his waist-belt plate and
detected, going off into the body and
breaking the bone Of his hip. Nine
pieces of bone were taken out, but one
was left. AT another time he was shot
In the neck, and third time in the
shoulder, the bullet first striking the
| edge of the blade of his sword and be-
Ing cut in two by the blade, one-half of
the ball going into his shoulder.
| Gen. Charles Il. Henderson was a
mere boy when he went into the army,
| but he was one of the bravest Of our
soldiers, and he rose to be a general
and participated in fifteen different
battles. He was terribly wounded at
Lovejoy's Station, thirty miles south
of Atlanta, mis- wound being very much
! like that which caused the death of
President Garfield. In chatting with
Gen. Henderson at Omaha the other
| day, | asked him how he felt when the
ball struck him. He replied: 81 felt
as though red-hot cannon ball had
gone through me. Still it was only a
mimic ball. 1t had struck my spine. As

The BLACK REGIMENT.

Dark as the clouds Of even,
Ranked in the western heaven,
Waiting the breath that lifts
All the dead mass, and drifts
Tempest and falling brand
Over a ruined land
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.
Down the long dusky line
Teeth CLEAN and eyeballs shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set,
Flashed with a purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
OF the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them what work was sent
For the back regiment.
Now" the fiag-sergeant cried,
Though death and hell betide,
Let the whole nation see
If we are fit to be
rec IN TINS land, or DOund
Down, like the whining hound
Bound with red stripes of pain
In our cold chains again.
oh, what a shout there went
From the black regiment!
Onward the bondmen broke;
Bayonet and saber-stroke
Vainly opposed their rush.
Through the wild battles crush,
With but one thought aflush,
CHARGE Trump and drum awoke:
Driving their lords like chaff,
Into the guns mouths they laugh;
Or at the slippery brands
Eeaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and horse,
Down in their awful course;
Trampling with bloody heel
Over the crashing steel
All their eyes forward bent,
Rushed the black regiment.
Freedom" their battle cry
Freedom! or leave to die!"
All! and they meant the word,
Not as with us it's heard,
Not mere party shout;
They gave their spirits out,
Trusted the end to God,
And on the CORY sod
Rolled in triumphant blood,
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for veal or woe;
Glad to breathe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death;
PrayiDg-alas! in vaini
That they might fall again,
So they could once more see
That burst to liberty!
This was what freedom" lent
To that black regiment.
Hundreds on hundreds fell;
But they are resting we'll:
Scourges and shackles strong
Never shall do them wrong.
Oh, to the living few,
Soldiers, be just and true;
Hail them as comrades tried;
Fight with them side by side;
Never, in field or tent,
Scorn the black regiment!
