northern coast of Pinar del Rio province,
short distance west of Havana and in
the blockading zone.

This fact, however, was apparently lost

Jor-generals Of volunteers:
Between officers of the same grade and
date of appointment or commission, other
than through promotion by seniority, re-
lative rank is determined by length Of
service, continuous or other wise as a
commissioned officer of the United States,
either in the regular army or, since April
10, 1861, in the volunteer forces"
AS all the volunteer major-generals were
appointed and confirmed a the same date,
this law makes Gen. James F. Wade the
ranking major-g general after Gen. era

lar brigadiers appointed major-generaIs Is:

PERFECT HAPPINESS

What would make you perfectly happy?
If that question was asked of ten people
ten different answers would probably be
the result. Each person has his own idea
of perfect happiness. Some would like to
be wealthy, some learned, some famous;
others think they would be perfectly hap

complished. But there is something very
necessary to happiness that few of them
think Of. If a person was endowed with
all the blessings before mentioned, but

From The Kansas city Journal.


Snoring men are as plentiful as whisky
in Kentucky However, while this evil is
predominant with the human race, yet il
is indeed seldom that member of the
animal kingdom becomes afflicted with the
snoring habit There is just one case of
the kind known TO exist IN Kansas City
Kan, and while there Is no question about
the existence OF this one case, the afiilct-
ed animal contracted the habit from man.
Prince, the Oldest horse in the Kansas
City (Kan). fire department, has the snor-
ing habit, and he's got it bad. All Of the
ladies" at fire headquarters have good
records as snorers, but Prince can allow
them all a bad cold and then beat them
out, pulled up. Snoring Prince, or the
prince snorer, is the horse driven by AS
sistant Chief William Mcconnell. He
generally mincos away at mis- food until
after y O'Clock each night, providing there
are no alarms. At about this hour he Hes
down in his stall, and in a few minutes
his eyes close, and soon thereafter the
snoring begins The noise produced by
the sleeping horse Is similar TO that Of a
snoring man. Before il became known
that Prince actually snOred several OF
the iremen, who take turns about watch
ing at night. were accused of going 10
sleep on duty The only foundation for
the accusation was the snoring In order
10 prove their innocence Il became neces-
sary for them TO peach on Prince.
