after he paid Old Moncybags his claim,
that he was strongly tempted to hit
him with the fiat of the sword which
hung on the wall and then throw him
out of the window. / wish he had, for

slkirmish. His good mother rebuked
him for the words, but thought saw
CLEAN of approval in his fathers eyes,
though he too was fairly good Chris
tian under ordinary circumstances.
And so the cloud over the little home
lifted. Who was it that said: "At
eventime there shall be light?" In
life's dim twilight the old people are
happy and safe once more.
When Memorial day comes l shall be
worn again by the honored commander
of the G. A. r. post as the members
march proudly under their tattered bat
tie flag to decorate the graves of their
dead. Upon those grassy altars we will
renew our vows of fidelity to the old
flag and the union it gloriously repre-
sents. Already arrangements have been
made with American friends at Havana,
and a silken flag with flowers in pro-
fusion will lie on the grave of the young
soldier l served, sleeping peacefully
there with more than 200 comrades
who wore the blue. In Gods good time,
perhaps in 1899, soldiers of the Cuban
republic, then fully established, may
plant the flags and scatter the flowers
on those honored graves.
And on the evening of Memorial day
here we are to have a wedding. Louis
Carroll, the returned Klondiker, will
marry Virginia Secession PoindeXter,
daughter of the man who once captured
me from her father-in-law. Captor and
captured will be there, and the whole
squad will be union to the core. The
dainty little maiden will practice what
she breaches by her union" with the
son of the man in blue, and the old uni
form will be brought out for the occa-
sion, my honored self hanging as cf old
near the soldiers side. The old solGiers
will each wear blue and gray; blue in
faded uniforms, gray in beards and hair.
And over the alcove in which the hapLG'
pair stand to be wed will fiutter tbs
tattered remnant of the old battle flag,
Alas, of the old comrades l am the
only one who looks as young as ever. l

their radiant faces as a result of the
reunion and the wedding, the light of
undying affection which arches like a
halo over the altar of home. My simple
story is ended. May its lessons live in

In the latter part OF May.
1t was only two aged women
Who met by chance that day.
One had eyes of loveliest blue.
The other, the sweetest gray.
HeWhere go your" said the blue-eyed one
To her with the eyes of gray.
"Tm going to visit my husbands grave,
In the southland far away"
s'Was he soldier?" the blue-eyed asked,
As she gazed In the eyes of gray;
And half unconsciously she grasped
Her hand in a loving way.
The eyes of gray lit up with pride;
Eyes, he was a soldier true:
EIe fell at the battle of Shiloh
''Oh! there where mine fell, too"
And then they clasped each other and wept,
The eyes of blue and gray
Mingled their flood of sympathy
AS the train sped on its way.
~What uniform did your soldier wear?"
my soldier wore the blue"
"Ah," said the other. mine wore the gray"
''No matter, they both were true"
"Yes, they were true, our loved and lost,
True till their dying day;
And 1t matters not what they were on earth,
They are clothed in white to-day"
And when we came to the station,
very small town by the way,
The men all stood bareheaded
As the two went on their way.
They walked up the street together,
Like children hand In hand,
Out or the country highway
Where the old church used to stand.
And on and on till they reached the place
Where their soldiers brave were laid
Then they kissed and wept o'er each grave
alike,
And together knelt down and prayed;
Then each told the other about the past,
How they lived with their children dear,
And agreed, while God would spare their
lives,
To meet there once year,
And then they walked back to the station,
These soldiers widows in tears,
Helped by each others sympathy,
To bear their burden of years,
Back to the west they travelled
To their children, kind and true;
One with eyes of the sweetest gray,
The other, the loveliest blue.

The MeCOrd Claim

Certain reports concerning the case of
Victor II. McCord whose claim against
Peru is widely known throughout the
country are erroneous In their descrip-
ton of circumstances in the case. 1t may
be stated for the correction of some of
these errors that Mr.. McCord Is citizen
of Pennsylvania. His name Is not Alex
ander, but Victor H, as mentioned
above. At present, as he has been for
many years. Mr.. McCord is general su-
perintendent of the American system OF
railways in Southern Peru and is not an
engineer as reports have had It. The
McCord claim against Peru grew out of
treatment that gentleman was subjected
to while consular agent Of the United
States in one of the ports of that coun-
try In 1855. His arrest, Imprisonment and
narrow escape from execution form a
part of history and are familiar to dip
Iomats everywhere. McCord's claim for
indemnity was vigorously pushed by Sec
retaries Gresham, Olney and Day and at
last reached a point where the matter
was referred to arbitrati on its merits
The latest phase of all in this well-known
Ease is shown in a recent approach from
an agent Of the Peruvian government to
MI McCord asking that he name a sum
which he would be willing to accept as
o. full settlement of his claim. The go
between got the answer that the case
was now In the hands Of mutually
chosen arbitrator and that Mr.. McCord
could not interfere.

1T CURES AS
NATURE CURES
Another Lesson From Doctor cowdens Teachngwy Former
Methods Failed to Relieve Deafness The Treatment
That Cures Is as Simple as Nature and Impressive
in Its Results as Nature

A great many who are sick get
well without any treatment medicine. They
get veil because Nature Is stronger than the
disease. and overcomes il, drives IL out. and
heals and cures the soreA But there some
troubles that Nature won't heal. Nature alone
will not relieve Deafness. unless it is due to
some temporary cause.
The treatment that cures Deafness is the
treatment that most nearly approaches Natures
methods.
The treatment that involved the. use Of sur
geons' tools in dealing with the ears the treat
ment that involved the use Of strong solutions
by means Of violent sprays. was contrary to all
Natures laws and was ludicrously Inadequate.
Now that the Cowden treatment has been so
generally accepted by the profession and the
public as the only for Deafness, the
only treatment that has lifted the blight Of
the word -inelIrable' from head noises, it would
seem that only slight knowledge Of the struc-
ture Of the ear would have prevented the de-
fusion that so-called specialists practieed for
years upon their patients
No surgeon ever cured Deafness by the pune
turing Of the ear drum. by boring cut
ting probing burning. CT by tine removal
Of one of all the small chain OF bones in
the middle ear, or by the violent imitation OF
the Eustachian Tubes by Instruments Politzer
bags, etc.
No plan Of treatment, with strong medicines
and caustic solutions, ever cured DEAFNESS, be
cause. by reason Of its construction and loca-
ton it never reached the obstruction in the
Eustachian Tube that caused it
In the Cowden practice only is to be found
a successful treatment for Deafness. because II
treats as Nature treats and cures. Bresthed
in as air is breathed in, impregnated with
medication as subtle and imperceptible as the
air itself. it reaches every sore spot from the
orifce Of the nose to the innermost recesses of
the middle ear. and reaching them with every
inhalation of the breath, it first soothes and
quiets, and then heals and cures
