A FRESH LIEUTENANT.
low Gen. Sumner Turned the Tables
ON ObstreperOus Subaltern
at Santiago.

A young second lieutenant. who
had been graduated from the first
class a couple of months before
the regular graduation at West
Point, had just joined his regi-
ment, and was walking down the
street near the palace, says writer on
Santiago in Leslie's Weekly. He
stopped on the corner, and as he did
SO an old grizzled soldier with growth
of beard on his face and with cavalry
sergeant's stripe on his breeches, a
blue shirt, and campaign hat. but with
no other mark of rank about his uni
form, except his sergeant's stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer fdgeted a few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ig-
nored his proximity. and finally turned
on him and said sharply: Here, you
man. did anyone ever teach you how to
salute?" Yes, sir" drawled the troop
er, as he glanced at the youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together"
said the youngl officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision
of an old soldier. Now salute" he
said, and the troopers gauntlet came
to the rim of his hat and staid there
until the young lieutenant answered it,
at the same time demanding: "Now,
remember this, and don't let this hap
pen again. What is your name, and
what do you belong TOP" Without re-
laXing his position from attention the
old trooper again respectfully saluted,
and remarked dryly: "My name is
Samuel Sumner, and I'm brigadier
general of the cavalry brigade" where
upon the young lieutenant proceeded
to copy as many colors of the rain bow
with his face as was possible, and
slipped away as soon as he dared, for
getting even to apologize.

Women Should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some sort
is responsible for the many ills that be-
set womankind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma-
tlsm, dragging pain or dull ache in the
back, weakness or bearing down sensa-
ton, profu>e or scantv supply Of urine
with strong dor, frequent desire to pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty four hours,
are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attri-
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician t. female weakness or womb
trouble Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief because they are treating not the
disease itself, bat a reflection of the
primary caasp, which is kidney trouble.
In la t. women as we'll as men are
madr mieerable with kidney and bladder
trouble aui both need the same remedy.
Dr kiimer's Swamp Root is the great
discovery o. he eminent kidney and
bladder s"eci Il st, and is easy to get at
any drug store for fifty cents and one dol

SPANISH GUNNERY.
Et Did Impress the Commander Of the
German Cruiser Geier
Wonderful.

Capt. jacobsen, commander OF the
German cruiser Geier. has published in
the Marine Review. of Berlin, two arti-
cles bout his personal experiencesdur-
ing the Spanish American campaign in
Santiago In speaking of Spanish gun
merry he says:
81 have heard of only one instance
where a Spanish shell found an Amer
lean warship. This was sent into the
Texas while that battleship was bonn
harding the Socopa batteries.
Zone night while the American bat
tleships kept up continuous lombard
ing one of the attacking vessels was
found by the searchlights Of the bat
terry. The Spaniards opened fire on it,
but instead CT hitting the vessel the
Iowa, which lay under the cover of
darkness, was struck by the she'll from
the Spanish howitzer
Great must have been the fright of
the American officers when on taking
charge of MORO they found that the
cannon operated against them by the
Spanish bore the dates 1903 and 1719.
Part of these howitzers were found
loaded as the Americans took charge.
The officer in charge ordered them to
be fired off, and found 20 his great sur
prise that the longest distance one of
these shots would traverse was 800
yards.
with due apologies to the brethren
of 9ankeeland, did the thrifty Ameri-
cans really allow themselves 10 be
frightened at this Spanish 'bluff| In
the beginning, perhaps yes. l must
confess, and so do my officers. that
while watching the proceedings from
our cruiser we had not the faintest
idea tnat the Spanish batteries had
such antique material to defend their
glorious honor with

Well Protected Acafnsf Cold.

The dirtiness of the Afghan is
proverbial and it is said that Turing the
last Afghan war Gen. Roberts once or
dered one to be washed. Two soldiers
stripped the prisoner and scrubbed
him for two hours with formidable
brushes and soft soap. Then they threw
down their brushes in disgust and went
to their captain. What is it, men ?"
he said. 'Well, SIR" they replied, eve
have washed that Afghan chap for two
hours, but it is no good. After scrub
bing him, sir, for two hours, till our
arms ached fit. to drop off, blest if we
did not come upon another suit of

FEARED THE PRESIDENT.
The Ludicrous Turn Given an Arrest
Made by "A Chicago Dep
uty Marshal.

The mode Of procedure in arresting
a culprit under the laws of the United
States is somewhat more complicated
than the ordinary issuance of a warrant
by justice of the peace for violation
of the city or state laws, says the Chica-
go Times-Herald. The warrant issued
by Uncle Sans law dispensers begins
with this formal caption: THE Presi-
dent of the United States of America
To the Marshal of the United States for
the Northern District of Illinois and to
His Deputies, or to Any or Either of
Them" The effect of these awe-inspir-
Ing words on prisoners who are con-
fronted with warrant for the first
time is sometimes startling--and al
ways effective. Chief Deputy Marsha
Rowe, of the local office, recently served
papers on a defendant and had an ex-
perience which may be taken as an IL
lustration of the usual effect on pris-
oners. He found a man for whom he
had been searching several days, and
forthwith produce a warrant for his
arrest. He started to read: THE Pres
ident of the United" when the pris-
oner, with a look of terror on his face,
stopped him. That's enough" he
said; "if President Mckinley has heard
of my offense I'm up against it. Take
me along" Mr.. Rowe had no trouble in
taking the terrified prisoner before a
commissioner.

Stole q Tooth as Souvenir.

"People chip off fragments from
gravestones,' said a traveller, "to carry
away as souvenirs, and twigs and leaves
from trees, and that sort of thing, so
that it is sometimes necessary to pro-
tect those objects TO save them But
the most curious thing ever saw IN the
way of souvenir grabbing was in the
catacombs of Paris, where one of a
party of sightseers, following a guide
along the passages lined with human
bones, pulled out tooth from a skull"
