strongly fortified harbor, the boat

THE STRATEGY BOARD.


The strategy board was called
together this morning in a red hot
hurry, as the report had reached
the members that the Office boy
was 10 town, and had rooms at the
Rosebud Restaurant, and was de-
sirous of meeting the board In a
BODY
The office was opened mp and a
committee of one was appointed 70
go TO the Rosebud Restaurant and
invite the distinguished visitor to
take a seat within the railing, while
the board was in session.
The lumbermau left for the hotel
and the dry goods man went down
to the store and brought back three
quarters Of a yard Of bunting and
be and the doctor proceeded to
decorate the office,
The boy was ushered in and was
given a cracker box to sit on next
to the window
1t was moved by the doctor that
the boy be heard.
The boy said he had left here to
90 to the front, and had joined
several organizations, but the ex-
amining surgeon told him he was
too eight" aud could not stand the
requirements. He had heard that
ther were two light guard Compa-
uies here, and he returned to join
one Of them-he preferred Captain
Harris company, as he had read in
a Texarkana paper where he had
some one or two bold warriors who
wanted to scalp a newspaper re-
porter for ofiiciousness. The boy
also said he had read in same paper,
separate issue, where the board had
voted to give Sampson all the credit
for the naval engagement in which
the Spanish fleet had been sent on
mission to meet McGinty at the
bottom of the sea. 81 wish to read
the following poem which I com
posed, and which is now being pub
lished in all first class daily papers,
under the credit of the Cleveland
Leader, which shows how widely !
differ from you all on this subject.
Here the boy read:
Schley,
| He saw 'em with his little eye,
That's why,
Their cruisers lie
| An battered up there on the beach.
Schleys a peach,
That's what,
He opened up with shell and shot
One ship against the lot!
Schley
Went in to do or die,
Aud he did
Just smashed the lid
OF their cracker box,
Schley old fox!
Why
Didn't somebody mention Schley
When the good news came?
Did they try
To keep his name
From being coupled with the work?
Did they try to jerk
The credit he had won
Away?
Well, hardly, but what's done is done
They
We're excited that day
So here's to Schley,
The man
Who saw them with his little eye,
AS they ran
For the open sea!
He
Is the man who merits praise
To him is due
The credit, and he'll get it too,
One of these days!
Just keep on Schley,
You're all right;
1t is your fight
The world will know it bye and bye.
After the reading, the clock was
consulted, and it being lunch time,
the board adjourned to the Chic
bar in the Benefited block, as the
doctor remarked, the lunch was
more varied, and the hours from IL
to y, which was better suited to
his appetite than to cut it off an
hour earlier as some of the shop.

There is more Cataarh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local dis
ease. and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
inCurable. Science has proven ca
taarh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. J. Cheney d
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market 1t

" - rnE ALFALFA.

A little incident occurred some time
ago with regard to the sheep feeding
industry which 10 worthy . good deal
Of thought and comment. The subject
was the matter Of conversation between
two gentlemen few days ago. Tbs
two men bought on the same day 1000
sheep in New Mexico and shipped them
to the feeding grounds. One bunch
went to the Arkansas yslley and the
other 10 Nebraska. By agreement they
were both to ship vt the same time, and
true to the bargain the gentlemen met
in the Kansas City market the same
day. The valley man received e5.25
for his sheep, while the Nebraska fellow
was glad to get ~ 90. the price for which
he sold. Tho lambs which 1ere fed In
the Arkansas valley on alfalfa weighed
at tho Kansas City stock yards an aver
age Of 70 pounds and tho ones fed in
Nebriska an avsrage Of 50 pounds. IS,
Thu Nebrasks man was st : loss 70
know how there could be 70 much dif-
ference, for he declared that l,e had fed
bis sheep all the hay and grain they
could eat and ccnhdently expected to
beat the valley BY great odds in the
market.
The valley man fed his sheep ON al
falfa and shslled corn. Tho corn was
shipped from Kansas or Nebraska very
likely. and with an Abundance Of cheap
corn at home the Nebrasks man fell OF
on his weights a. compared with his
competitor 4s.Oe0 pounds in the aesre-
gate and was compelled to receiva IS
cents less per hundred weight for his
sheep.
On summing up the proceeds Of the
two 6ocks It ID found that the sheep
which were fed in the Arkansas valley

a Railroad Agent. .

Fools and gamblers are about the
only persons nowadays who indulge In
the poker habit with strangers-provid-
ed, OF course one Is not roped IN
through the various mediums of wagers,
odd bets. euchre hands n the like.
This story deals with an incident of
the latter sort. Coming East from st.
Louis on No. % my companion in the
section was a rather rough-looking fei-
low. He might have been a prosperous
farmer or even a country lawyer, but
he certainly was not over finicky as to
his personal appearance. A cheap serge
suit, faded straw hat of last years vim
tage and a suspicious looking pair OF
tans did not serve to enhance his ap-
pearance, although as he TOOK off his
hat to mop his brow IL revealed a well
formed head. full and wide at the top,
and rather bullying about the ears-the
latter supposed to Indicate great nerve
and a rather ugly disposition when
aroused. The man was an entertain
ing talker and had evidently Travelled
a bit. We were just discussing the rel
alive merits of some of the railway
lines running out Of Chicago, when the
ever present card fiend stepped up with
the same old story:
Just fill in for a hand of euchre,
only to kill time: norhihg in it. Of
course" etc, etc. My friend, who we
will call Joe, however. declined to .fll
in" He was tired and was too hot.
and moreover he did not are for cards.
Knew how to play. but preferred to
take a nap. However. after some lit
tie persuasion from another passenger
he finally consented and / wen with
him into the smoking room.
After the usual preliminary games
had been won and lost. the old fake
poker racket was started. Joe was
given four tens inc then one OF the
trio incidentally regretted they were
not playing poker. Would like TO make
a little bet just to enhance the interest.
My friend failed to fall in, however:
In fact. he apparently did not hear the
remark. for he picked up the cards,
shuffied them and started a new Zeal.
After a considerable lull in the proceed
ings. four aces were dealt Joe. and
again the plant anent the absence of
a hrst-class poker game went the
rounds. IL had no apparent effect. Joe
refused to take their none and the
game went on.
Shortly after this the conductor came
through and 1 went back into the sec
zion for my ticket. On returning to
the smoking room. I found Joe held
four kings and the ten of cluDs. while
the man to his left had four aces and
