HOT TIME" AT FUNERALS

Lively Music that Follows the Burial
 of Soldiers in Cuba.
 War has introduced strange funeral customs among the United States troops in Cuba. The increase of the appropriation for the burial of privates from $10 to $35 has enabled the con- rades of men who have given up their lives for their country to provide cere- monies that are impressive and to in- sure the proper care of bodies.
 Notwithstanding the number of deaths that have taken place within the year of war, the Americans have not become blunted and funerals are attended with much solemnity, only one strange custom marring the i'm pressiveness of the ceremonies. The cemetery in which the dead belonging to the companies stationed at Matan- gas are placed to await removal to the United States Is about a mile from the city. Six soldiers carry the casket con- taining the body of soldier upon their shoulders, each detail of pail bearers being relieved every few rods. AS the little company of men march out in the early morning, or at sundown, the band plays the "Dead March from Saup' or "ChOpin's Funeral March" Officers and men advance with measured tread The chaplain reads the burial service, heads are bowed, and the casket is con- signed to the receiving vault. There is a moment of silence. The chaplain turns away, the men face about, and then the band plays "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
 The funeral is thing of the past. The tune restores the soldiers to cheer fulness. When they reach the camp on their return all the sad associations of the death and burial are forgotten.

HIS ONE AMBITION.
Popular Positions in Life Had No
 Attractions for Him.

Popular Positions in Life Had No
 Attractions for Him.
 The pinkest-cheeked and prettiest girl In the Pine Mountain school was Mandy Martin, and the biggest and awkwardest boy was James k. Polk Garvin. Jim, as he was popularly known, was IT years old, and came of a somewhat more ambitious family than were the families of most of his schoolmates, as his father was a con stable, and had at one time been as- sessor and road supervisor. For some reason the boy had fallen into the sulks, and for a month the teacher had been able to do so little with him that, as last resort, she had sent him down to the lumber company's store for me to talk to him.
 "Well, James," said, in my kindliest manner, after giving him a chew of fine-cut tobacco, which he greatly ad- mired, 'I am sorry to see boy of your ability acting as you have been doing lately, neglecting your studies and plOfAuS d DuLuSu IO yOuA bCoSACA AA stead of help. You've got the mak- ing of a good man in you, and some day you may be a constable, as your father is."
 ''I don't wanter be no constable" he answered, keeping his eyes on knot hole in the floor that he was trying to jab his toe into.
 T was rather glad to find he was more ambitious, and went at him again. hopefully.
 Possibly you may be sheriff-who knowsY' I suggested.
 'T don't wanter be no sheriff, neither"
 No? Well, there's no reason, if you will study hard and be a good boy, why you shouldn't be the county judge, some day"
 'I don't wanter be no judge" he said, as if a judgeship were very cOm- mon thing.
 "Who knows, James," went on en- couragingly, ''but that some day you will be our Congressman and go to Washington"
 q don't wanter be no Congressman, neither"
 "That isn't your only chance, my boy" I continued, thinking he was even more ambitious than I had sus pected; "you may be Governor of th State"
 ''I don't want to be no gov'ner," he said, quite as sulky as ever. There weren't many more rises that I could offer, but concluded to try the best had.
 "Then look to the Presidency, James" I ventured 'Men have become presi- l dents who have had no better start than you have. You may be President, but you will have to study and do bet ter than you are doing now"
 ''I don't wanter to be no President" he replied even more doggedly than be- fore, if that were possible.
 I was at the end of my string and be- gan to think that possibly we had an embryo Napoleon in our midst.
 Well" I said somewhat annoyed and perplexed, eff you don't want to be | what do you want?"
 He jabbed his toe at the knot hole l more desperately than ever and hung his head lower.
 "I-I-" he hesitated; 'T wanter be Mandy Martins best feller, CT I don't wanter be nothin'."
 That put the case out of my jurisdic- | ton and sent James back to the teach CT and made my report later.-Wash. inptOn Star

New York, Oct. 11th, 1898. Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co, Columbus, O.:
 Gentlemen-Pe-ru- is good for catarrh. I have tried it and know it. It relieved me immensely on my trip to Cuba, and I always have a bottle in reserve. Since my return I have not suffered from catarrh, but if I do I shall use Pe-ru-na again. Meantime you might send me another bottle.
 Yours, Amos J. Cummings, M. c.
 Summer catarrh assumes various forms. It produces dyspepsia and bow el complaint. It causes bilionsness and diseases of the liver. It deranges the kidneys and bladder. Summer catarrh may derange the whole nervous sys- tenn, when it is known to the medical profession as systematic catarrh. Pe- ru-na is a specific for all these forms of catarrh. Pe-ru-na never disappoints. Address Dr. Hortman, Columbus, Ohio. for free book on summer catarrh.

Czar,. weanon off selfDefense

Ever since the assassination of Czar Alexander II. the young emperor of Russia, 1t is said, has carried about with him a small revolver which was given to him by his mother, the dow ager empress of Russia, who exacted of him the promise that whenever he was away from the royal palace he would carry it with him. Since he has been travelling in Europe the emperor has kept the revolver ever by his bed side.

Nnt DiscoYerahle

Just now, the New-Yorker's most popular phrase to designate inferiority is thirty cents." There are several variations in it. A man looks like thirty cents; a dejected and discOn, solate individual feels like thirty cents; a promising venture amounts to nc more than thirty cents; and the idle talk of an unimportant person sounds like thirty cents. The exact significance of the expression has not so far been explained; but 1t serves its purpose.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid limitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.
