long DEBATE in the House of Repre-
sentatives over the Teller resolution would
have been merely a waste OF time. 1t
would sshave been simply a repetition of
the debate in the Senate, would have
afforded the country no information
which it does not now possess, and would
have changed 10 vote. A prompt and
decisive reply to the Senate's threat of
reputation was what was needed and all
that WAS needed.

All but one of the gold Democrats OF
the Senate voted for Mr.. Teller's resolu-
ton declaring the bonds payable in silver.
Some of them have undertaken to ex-
plain that they voted for it simply as Il
legal proposition, and with no intention
of Identifying themselves with the free
silver theory. Notwithstanding this ex.
PLANTATION the Interpretation which the
general public will put upon their con.
duct will be that being convinced that
the great majority Of their party have
gone over to free silverism they have made
up their minds 10 stand out no longer.
1t will be accepted generally as formal
surrender of the gold Democracy to the
Bryanites.

Our esteemed contemporary is in error.

be left for it will be to record the nom

More men would succeed in carrying out
their life purposes if they would put their
constitutions in strong, forceful, high con-
dition, without waiting until disease has
plunged its axe into their vital organs. If
a man who is using up his working vitality
faster than his nutritive powers supply it,
will use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery as an adjunct to his daily meals, it
will give the digestive organs power to
take hold of the food and extract from 1t

It revitalizes every organ and tissue OF

 It wasn't long afterward that she came back to see her former mistress about something, and the latter noticed that she was wearing mourning Of course she was sorry for her and was rather surprised that she made no men ton of her bereavement. It is, indeed, grievous thing when a honeymoon is tut short
 Finally the former mistress brought up the subject herself.
 You are i'll mourning, Maggie, she suggested
 "Yes, replied Maggie complacent- ly, and with no show of feeling at all. "I fought it was the least could do fer i'm. "

 "You haven't lost yt1r husband?''
 Maggie shook her head.
 "Then why are you in such deep mourning"
 "Just to please the poor lad, an swered Maggie. "You see, it's this way, she went on when she had de- cided to tell the story. After we was married he comes to me an he says, Maggie, he says, the poor woman niv- CT had anybody to put on mournin fer her, an l dunno that she's been treated right, he says 'Who?' saysI Me first wife, says he. She was all alone in the world, exceptin fer me, he says. She had no yimmen folks to wear mournin fer her. And So I says to him, I'll do it fer the poor woman, says An here am.

GREEN BADGES OF COURAGE
sashes worn by Army surgeons'and Their
 History.

b&SheB N Or6 ny Army surgeons sasu0 10eir
 History.
 A great many people do not know why army surgeons wear green sashes. It is not so much an insignia of rank as it is protection to the wearer. Accord ing to the code of war, surgeons are never shot or taken prisoners. To delib- erately shoot surgeon while he is wearing bis sash is considered viola tion of the code, punishable by death.
 Because of this provision surgeons of one army never refuse to look after the wounded of the other army if it is possi ble for them to do so During the civil war it was often the case that after battle the field hospitals would contain almost an equal number of men dressed in blue and gray. The Federal army had the best surgeons and the best stores, and a wounded Confederate COZ sidered himself in great luck if he was removed to Federal hospital to be cared for by Federal surgeons and phy- sieians.
 But ill the heat of battle green sash Is not much protection, and surgeons were of.en wounded or killed. But this did not keep the surgeons at the rear until the battle was over. They were often found in the thick of the fray, dressing wounds and sending the wound ed to the rear. Theirs was perilous as we'll as noble duty, and they perform ed it well.-Omaha World-Herald.
