AT CAmPLEEDY.

AT Camp Leedy, last Sunday the
boys had variety of entertainment-l
preaching, music, dinner and fun.
Five places of worship at the camp in |
the morning and several in the after
noon and at night. The women of |
Topeka sent out fully FIVE wagon loads |
of good things to eat and ten to fifteen |
thousand people paid their respects to
the volunteers.
Most of the first week in camp was
very disagreeab1e. Rain fell every
day and the ground was muddy and
soft, and the worst of it was, the men
were but poorly supplied with any
thing in the nature of protection. The
Governor of the state will never be for
gotten for his timely and serviceable
attentions IN this respect: He not
only superintendent, but took hold him
self and loaded and un1oaded hay and
straw and b1hnkets and wood as if
that kind of: work were his regular
business. He worked hard one whole
night. He is praised by all the Tope-
ka papers for his untiring efforts in
ministering to the comfort of the men
in camp. The State Journal says:
cit is but fair to say that great
deal of the bitterness which the Gov
ernor engendered by his treat
ment Of. the National Guard has been
swept aside by his efforts to provide
for the comfort of the boys in camp
during the cold rainy season just
closed. A large percentage. of the
troops came to Topeka with the idea
that they would receive their military
i equipment at once, so they wore about
the worst clothing they had, thinking
to do away with the expense of send
ing it home. Naturally this left them
very poorly prepared for the cold, wet
weather. Governor Leedy and those
about him have done everything pos
sible to provide warm shelter and
blankets and the troops were as com
Portable as it was possible to make
them"
The weather improved greatly and
the changewas better than phys clans
prescriptions. 1t is a wonder that
there was not more sickness. Last
Saturday morning $50 men were en-
rolled on the sick report. But most
of the reported sick were suffering
only from severe colds or a touch OF
rheumatism. Only two had to go to
bed in the camp hospital. Both these
had some fever, but soon grew better
under the treatment of the camp ply.
sicians. BY noon the patients were
dismissed and returned to their com
panieS.

The Chicago Tribune thinks that
unless we wish to quench the fire of
our own liberty the only way in which
we can secure permanent peace in the
West Indies is to drive Spain hence
forth and forever from them. If we
do not do it now with honor, we shall
some day have to do it in shame.

lists of the country. 1t is putting at
the service of suffers the result of
years of study and research of emil

CAKE WALK IN A CHURCH.
A Divinity student and His Partner Won
the Prize.

The young people of the Second Pres
byterian church Of st. Louis a few
nights ago gave a cake walk which was
participated in by a dozen couples and
a candidate for the ministry and his
partner won the prize. The occasion
was the eleventh anniversary Of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor. The pastor, DR.. S. j. Mich
OILS. retired just before the time for the
cake walk.
y musical programme came first on
the card, and the history of the society
was told by Miss Julia Wolf, after
which the audience was invited 70 the
basement Of the church, which was
beautifully decorated with holly. The
cake was displayed. after which the
church organist took his place at the
piano and played a "redhot rag" the
couples lined up and at the word were
eff. 1t was the first church entertain
ment of the kind ever given in st.
Louis and was highly appreciated by
the audience. 1t is said that Dan Wash

Out on the water in the moonlight. A
more beautiful or romantic situation for a
young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice to share
his life cannot be imagined.
The courtship of a young couple may be
ever SO romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside Of love that nave a
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health of
both parties to the sacred tie. The young
man who is in the incipient stages of con-
sumption commits a crime If he marries
before he is restored to health. He con-
demns his wife to the life of a nurse and
his children to early death, or lives of sick
ness and suffering. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures oS per cent. of all
cases of consumption if taken in its earlier
stages. This is its record established dur
ing the past thirty years. 1t is the great
blood-maker, flesh uilder,~ nerve-tonic and
general restorative.
The young woman who suffers from weak
ness and disease Of the delicate and i'm
portant organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible has no right to answer
Yes" to a young mans proposal until she
is thoroughly restored to health in a Won
anly way. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton prepares a woman for wifehood and
motherhood. 1t makes her strong, healthy
and vigorous where a woman most needs
health, strength and vigor. Thousands Of
women nave testified to its merits.

scription, which cured me, also cured her"

HIS GAME
FIR. Cleyeland's Sporting Paradise Be
tween Trenton and Princeton.

~N'
Grover Cleveland has purchased So
acres Ct land lying about midway be-
tween Trenton and Princeton. 1t is I'M
aer>tood that the former president has
planned to develop his purchase into "a
game preserve and that no expense i, to
be spared III converting it into IA sports
man paradise.
The land was bought from Captain
Foster W. Nankirk. q distiller Of Rose
dale. y. j.. and the modest figure at
which Mr.. Cleveland acquires possession
Is $500.
1t Is conceded by experts III Jersey
topography that Mr.. Cleveland's pur-
chase Is beautifully adapted to his pur-
pose.
The 81 acres are thickly wooded and
we'll watered. No filter setting for the
quail, the pheasant, the partridge and
the grouse, to say nothing of the rabbit
and the fox, could have been selected.
Furthermore, it is within easy driving
distance of Mr.. Cleyeland's home at
Princeton.
2 There is an old farmhouse on the
land, which, according to report, is to
be remodeled into a lodge, where the
former president may entertain the
choice spirits who follow the chase as
his guests.-New York World.
