For the past two years he has been herding sleep. He had many friends in this and Apache counties. who will regret his sad end ing.

TROOPS AND DRINK.
Tho Curious Statistics showing what European
Nations Fay for Them.

Tho friends and advocates of universal
peace" and the foes Of in.emperance and in
ebriety are pretty generally agreed that the eX-
penses attending war and war armament and
LIQUID beverages of an intoxicating or exhila-
rating kind are unduly large. There Is an old
proverb, 1t is not a Swiss proverb, Of course, to
the effect that a man who drinks moro than he
should " drinks like q Swiss" and it is for this
reason. perhaps, and residents OF the republic
of Switzerland say for no better one, that the
fame of residents of Switzerland for So
briefly is not as fnr-reaching as the
fame of the Scotch, for instance, for
frugality. A recent computation which has APP
pcared shows that the annual expenditures Of
the Swiss for wine, beer, cider and brandy are
175, 600, 900 francs. six times as much as is
spent on the army. Germany expendB. or. more

some OF his political associates in their contests
before the on Elections No. 3. While
here he heard of the unfortunate admission
made by Josiah Patterson, while under cross.

after posing as n gold Democrat throughout

unfortunate fate of q hunting dog which didn't

After a little while the brute found out that the
Yankees were living. better than we, and ho
began to forage in their camp. Pretty soon we
got on TO his scheme, and utilized him for ex.
press, transfer purposes. Packages OF tobacco
found their way to the Ynnks. and we got coffee
and other supplies in return. Occasionally
soldiers on both sides would indulge the dog In a
hunt, which was greatly enjoyed, reminding us
OF the happier days and pursuits before the war,
But one day n hight caInc On In earnest, and
we were peppering away AT n great rate at each

UND ER TWO FLAGS,

Honduras.
In the winter of 1895. the "mudholing"
cruiser of tho North Atlantic Squadron was
making visits to the small ports along the coast
OF Central America. the first ono touched at be-
ing Truxillo. Honduras. There is an old fort on
the seaward side of tho town manned by fifty or
sixty ragged and barefooted soldiers, under the
of n Colonel of the Army of Honduras.
This officer. as the commandment of the military
forces, is the most important person in the
town. Soon after the arrival of the cruiser, and
when national salutes had been exchanged be-
tween shin and fort, the Colonel and his staff
camc off to the ship to visit the Captain, where
every attention was shown him..
The quartermaster of the watch, keeping q
sharp lookout for everything through his long
glass, noticed that the Flagstaff on the fort pre-
scented an unusual appearance. having two flags
hoIsted. He reported the circumstance to the
officer of the deck. who. after looking earnestly
at the fort, sought the executive officer
Tho executive took the glass. gave one good
look. and went in haste to the Captain. Tho
United States flag could be plainly seen hoisted
on the flagstaff of the fort with the flag of Hon.
duras waving proudly over It.

would BIO taken otherwise. When convinced
that the Captain could not sec it In that
liuht. he wrote an order to his sec
the fort by one OF tho ships officers, whose
appearance there and the order caused great
hurry and excitement. The troops were turned
out. drawn up facing the flagstaff and brought
to- z present, while. with the playing of The
buglcs. tho two FLAGS came down and ours went
up again alone. There 1t remained for half an
