Grosvenor went to the Speakers desk
and was engaged in earnest conversation
with the Car for fully six minutes. The
gestures of the veteran were earnest and
vigorous; those of the car equally so.
Was it a difference of opinion, or what?

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK?

Don't give tnem tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food called GRAIN-O? 1t is
delicious and nOurIShing and takes the place
OF coffee. The more GTain-O YOU give the
children the more health YOU distribute
through their systems. Graiu-O is made OF
pure grains, and when properly prepares

costs about One-quarter "a much. Al ErOcers

fever patients, they were kept on a milk
diet. The milk diet did not suit them, and
they were continually growing and
grumbling that they were being starved.
Finally the nurse grew tired of their com
plants and laid down the law to them
rather forcihly, telling them If they were
millionaires they would be allowed no
different diet and no more of it. In the
course of two or three weeks, when all
of them had recovered but three, they had
the decency to acknowledge one day that
they were ashamed of their complaints.

Dob AND JACK.
Two Canine Soldiers Who Were the
Pets of the Regiment.

Two Canine Soldiers Who Were the
Pets of the Regiment.
From the New Illustrated Magazine.
Army pets whose sterling worth is APP
preclated by their masters and their mas
ters' cronles are numberless, but dogs who
rise to the position of "regmental pets,
who become part and parcel of the regs-
ment at home and IN action, and who re-
ceive official recognition, are comparative
ly few.
Bob was the regimental pet of the Sec
ond Battalion, Royal Berkshires, and a
soldier dog TO the backbone. He accom-
panied his regiment to Afghanistan and
went through at the battle of Malwand
one Of the most terrific days ightng that
has been known during the past genera
ton.
Man after man was cut down, but Bob
would not be denied his share in the fray.
He kept on running to the front, barking
merely a. the enemy until at length a
bullet laid him low. The wound was seri-
Gus enough, as it tore nearly all the skin
OF his back, but he recovered and once
again accompanied his old corps into ac-
tion.

Inc next year Bob received great honor 1t

campaign, but tying 1t round his neck with
her own hands when the regiment paraded
before her at Osborne House.

Some one had been prutally iI-treating

In befriending the poor animal the SEN

JOHNSON MAY RUN FOR MAYOR.
If All Factions Have Candidates He
Says He Can Scoop the Prize.

If All Factions Have Candidates He
Says He Can Scoop the Prize.
'If the people of Savannah really want
to get non-partisan Mayor, one who is
not allied with either of the existing fac
tions, and who would not be under obi
cations to either as result, it is very
easy for them to do so" said Mr.. T. F.
johnson yesterday afternoon
How is that?" he was asked.
Just this way. If both of the factions
have candidates in the field, 1 propose to
run as an Independent for Mayor, on a
platform of non-political or non-factional
management of city affairs, Of an admin
istration of it's affairs without regard to
clubs, and with more regard for the inter
ests Of the property owners and business
men than of the politicians. 1 believe
there are enough citizens who would like
to see this condition established to give
me plurality of votes" A -cornered
fight for the mayoralty, with Johnson as a
factor might not find him bringing up the
rear when the returns were counted.

DESKS AND DESK FURNISHINGS
Dainty Writing Accessories In Sill
yer, Glass and Paper.
From Harper'a Razar

YER, Glass and Paper.
From Harper's Bazaar.
If the art of writing letters is going
out Of date, it certainly is not because there
is not every possible inducement for peo-
pie to write. Never has there been a time
when all implements for writing were so
dainty, and well appointed writing desk
or table is considered as necessary in
every house as tables and chairs. Where
houses are furnished with no regard to ex-
pense, it is considered necessary to put
writing desk in every bedroom, as well
as in library and sitting room; and where
house parties are the order of the day
it is considered polite both for hostess
and guest to take the hour after break
fast for writing letters in their respectiv
apartments
Writing tables on the plan of office ia
bles with drawers at either side, are now
made to match the furniture of the room
where they are placed, and are seen in
most luxurlously furnished rooms. On
them are placed large blotting pad with
fancy corners, large glass silver-topped
inkstand, pen-tray, letter-flle, paper-cut-
ter, stamp-box, letter rack and candle for
sealing-wax. These things so far emu
merated are the positive necessities, and
there are always to be seen many other
dainty ccessories-photograp without
number in every possible sized and shaped
frames, vases (small and large), silver
topped mucilage bottles, silver boxes filled
with shot or bristles in which to put pens,
silver ink-erasers, etc, until there posi-
lively seems no end to the pretty trifes
that can be used on writing table
The antique mahogany desks are very

been brought to light of this design with
brass handles and of most beautiful wood;
there are many limitations of the real an
tique desks that are exquisite in finish
and design-some are of plain mahogany
others of the marquetry. A desk with
swell front with three large drawers
is very popular but another style with
two small drawers at either side, and In
shape something like the dressing table,
is also much liked.
For bedrooms the simple desks are the
best, made of the same wood as the rest
of the furniture; these do not have many
drawers nor pigeon holes, and are only
for temporary use in guest rooms. They
are very inexpensive, some being sold for
so little as $3.50 and SO, rather in contrast
to those of mahogany or marquetry for
which hundreds OF dollars are asked. Roll
top office desks are now sometimes seen
in boudoirs. Women who have a great
deal Of correspondence find them so use
full that their ugly shapes and cumber-
some size are not thought Of An office
desk is never an attractive piece of furni-
ture but is undeniably useful
The dainty furnishing now so fashion,
able for writing desks is not of necessity
expensive; silver articles are surprisingly
cheap, while in leather and china the
same things are duplicated. Christmas.
Easter and birthday presents of these
same little trifies soon accumulate. and

They expected to get down in Cuba just
what they had at home-milk warm from
the COW, eggs laid on purpose, homemade
butter, and pies such as mother makes.
Because they had hard tack without but

for investigation. If the conflict had
lasted for three years instead of three
months, they would have realized 1t was
one of the inevitables of war.

WILL BE PLENTY OF GAME.
bird Shooting Season Begins in Two
Weeks.

Weeks.
"What about the game this season, is
there going to be much of it?" an enthus-
iastie sportsman was asked yesterday. He
is regarded as an authority on matters
pertaining to sport, and his prophecy for
the season is as likely to be borne out as
that of anybody else.
The sportsman answered that there will
be plenty of partrtdges this season. He
was asked if the storm and the heavy
rainfall had not probably drowned out the
young birds, but he spoke confidently in
the negative According to his opinion
the rains came too late to hurt the young
birds They were fully able to take care
of themselves by the time the rains began
to come down so copiously, and the sports
man does not believe there were any of the
first crop drowned out, and he is doubtful
If those of the second broodS suffered to
any great extent After the young birds
reach a certain size they are in a position
to laugh at heavy rains, for they can then
get up in trees For a little while after
they are Matched, however they are easy
fruit for a storm, and some seasons there
are but few birds in localities where heavy
rains have fallen just about the time the
mother partridges bring their broods off
the nests.
The shooting season for native birds
opens Nov. l. Ducks can now be shot
and also snlpe. 1t is said both can be
found around the city now in quantities.
The ducks are of the teal variety. Usual
ly, the sportsman said, they have passed
Savannah by this time, and made their
way to Florida for the winter, but this
year they have found a great attraction
Ia the rice that is laying out in the fields.
He said the destruction of the rice crop
has been a windfall for the ducks. The
grain is in the fields and the ducks are
right on top of 1t. The sportsman said he
was out a few days ago up the river and
that at about dark he saw as many as
5000 teal, IL there was a one, pile into
one field for the night
