P. E. Butler, OF pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July S3d. says: "We all had diar-
rhRa in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was a case of
rush and rush night and day to keep
the troops supplied with ammunition
and rations, but THANKS to Chamber.

Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact,
sincerely believe that at one critical
time this medicine was the indirect
savior of our army, for if the pack
ers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting
supplies to the front. There were
no roads that a wagon train could
use. My comKade and myself had
the good fortune to lay in a supply
of this medicine for our pack-train
before we left Tampa, and / know In
four cases it absolutely saved life. "

of Coalgate, Lehigh, Durant and
Caddo applied to Judge Clayton
to be allowed to incorporate. The

But the Six StnIwart Giants Finally

There were six OF them, all noun

says the Louisville Commercial. That
1t was their first visit was evident,
as, huddled together like flock of
sheep. they stood at the corner OF
Fourth and Market streets yesterday
afternoon. waiting for the cars to- pass.
They wanted to cross the street. but
they did not care to be run over Now
and then one more venturesome than

claimed the leader, and six pairs OF
high-heeled boots leaped as though

just at that moment Fourth street car
turned in from Main. The leader tried
in vain to stop. His heel caught in the
track. and with yell Of terror he.
went down before the engine OF death

sprang to his feet and when last seen

ly; battle had begun inside OF him:
for to reach this door it was necessary
to so through certain gate behind
which lived great dog. Of whom ho
was terribly afraid.
He glanced at the windows. but no
one was in sight. That poor baby
mamma had said 1t was very sick. He
went to the gate and looked through
yes. there on the porch he could see
Dions brown coat: then. something
seemed to whisper, For valor." and
the thought that he must not be un-
worthy of his name gave him sudden
courage. He softly pushed the gate
open and made n dash for the kitchen
door. which he. thought offered the best
chance OF escape from the dog.
For the lands sake!" cried Patsy
the cook, as the door new open and a
small. frightened boy tumbled in.
It happened that Miss Janet. the doc
tors sister. was there giving some or
ders. and 1t was she who soothed his
excitement and after sending of the
doctor. made him rest few minutes
in her sitting-room.
Were you SO frightened about the
baby?" she asked.
miss Janet was a friend of Allan's
and moreover was the sort of person
to whom you ind 1t easy to tell things.
so he confessed how afraid he was of
the dog, but how he had tried to be
brave.
She looked rather puzzled rs she
patted the plump hand. Il am glad
you tried TO be brave" she said, but
don't know how you could have seen
a dog on the porch, for Dion went to
the country last week"
Allan was SO certain that they went
to the side door to look. and when he
peeped cautiously out, there was DR..
Marvin's big bearskin rug thrown
down to air
Ailan's face grew very red and his
eyes filled with tears-after all he had
not been brave!
Miss Janet wouldn't let him run
away as he wanted to do. but kept him
and comforted him. and finally heard
all about the Victoria Cross.
"You were brave in spite OF the fun
ny mistake" she said. '.and you will
have another opportunity some time.
SO don't be discouraged"
Allan went home feeling little con-
| soled. though still rather grieved.

The town grew like n mushroom, for

not long before there sprung up
local aristocracy, based solely on a
foundation OF riches. Skimper. with
the true instincts OF democracy, ridi-
culed this in a new town that had no
communication with the outer world
except by wagon trains and pony ex-
press. The indignant women raised q
crusade against him and 1t was not long
until his advertising patronage dwin-
Skimper was game and swore that he
would sink with his colors flying. He
found his chance for sweet revenge Just
as he realized that he must give up the
fight and seek for pastures new. There

ganization in Frontierville, especially
popular because of its liberal contribu-

combined could not restrain the laugh

but Skimper was never forgiven and he

IN KOREA.

The Koreans are very quick and
bright. and pick up foreign languages
with surprising rapidity. They are
suspicious and cunning. and never trust
one another or foreigners. Among
them women live secluded life and
are kept in the background.
The Koreans are usually regarded as
q handsome race. for their physique is
good. though the average height is but
little over five feet-yet the men are
very strong. The hands Of both men
and women are. without exception,
small. white and exquisitely formed.
and the tapering fingers are carefully
attended to.
Korea Is about GOO miles long and 1876
wide. 1t is very mountainous and the
climate is one Of the finest In the
world. Nine months in the year the
skies are bright, and the winter Is su-
perb. with its extreme dryness, clear
skies and crisp. frosty nights. From
September to June there are no ex-
tremes of heat or cold. Manufactures
are unimportant and there are no arts
The Koreans are so different from
their neighbors. the Chinese and Japan

Guilty in Identifying them. While they
have the slant Mongolian eye and q
complexion varying from brunette to n
swarthy olive. their noses are straight
and aquiline. with occasionally broad

anu sisters laughed at him. his father
sravely shook his head, and even his
mother called him a dear little coward:
but though he was ashamed of HIM

his resolutions. There really seemed
no help for it till one afternoon when
his father sent him with a message to

While the professor wrote a note in

by small object on the library table,
1t was Maltese cross OF bronze at

cross was crown and a lion. and be-

some letters. Allan was trying to

over his shoulder and asked, Can you
