SHE DYED HAIR. HE WHISPERS.
How . Husband Punished His wife for
Disobsyiug His Injunction.


A good story is going the rounds
In Washington OF the disastrous re-
suits which followed wife's disregard
OF her husbands objections to perox-
tde. There were several tints In the
wffe's crown of glory and she had de-
cided that inasmuch as 1t was nearly
all blonde anyway the best thing she
could do was to peroxide the whole
lot. On broaching the subject to her
hege lord, however, she was met with
such decided disapproval as to put
damper on her plan for time. By way
OF squaring things the husband gave
her handsome check and told her
to get a new dress. When this gar
ment came home from the tailor II
was Immediately tried on and there
and then she decided that yellow hair
and that gown would Just match
splendidly." Next day she had the
job done. and 1t must be confessed that
she did not admire herself quite as
much as she had expected. When her
husband came home in the evening he
gazed In amaZement at the transforma-
ton, but did not say mucn, and the
wife congratulated herself on his TAX
Ing it so easily. Hubby was unusually
silent, however, and she feared the
coming storm. Next morning he went
to his office in anything but an ami

Tho Black Bonapnrte.

The mode in which the Black Bona
parte," Samory, who has lately been
captured in Africa, gradually built up
a power that defied the Europeans for
twenty years shows an ingenious use
of the slave trade, as the basis for a
military power that was not to be de-
spsed. Col. Combes of the British
service. who fought against him for
years, thinks that 1t was not only the
character, tactical ability and tyran-
nical power of Samory that gave him
his strength, but still more the in
genious means by which he took pains
to provide himself with arms OF pre-
cision He had said to himself that II
he had these not a tribe In the bend OF
the Niger could resist him. Beginning
by making u few captives he exchang-
ed these with slave merchants for good
rifles or the means OF procuring them,
and thus provided he was able to make
raids and to bring large numbers of
slaves into the market, always invest
ing his gains in rifles and munitions
of war. Thus he brought into sub
jection the inferior peoples of the re-
gion. regarding them as sort of war
treasury upon which he could draw at
need. To prevent a similar perform
ance on the part of some other African
chief, Col. Combes says the slave trade
must be stopped and he urges that
military posts should be established on
all the frontier lines separating the
empire of Samory from the hinterland
OF the British territories OF Sierra Le-
one and Lagus, as we'll as from the
republic of Liberia. II this be done,
he says, Samory can have no successor,
because the sources OF his strength
will be cut of.

THEY WANT TO TELL

Women who have suffered severely

Army nnd NAVY,

The veterans OF Santiago have to
take a back seat when it comes to real
experience. Their war service did not
last long enough to get them thor
oughly initiated and the survivors OF
game they please to join in. What one
of them, for instance, can match with
Maj. Lamar Fontaine. "Stonewall jack
sons ex-scout," who. the New England
Register says. was wounded sixty
seven times and thirteen times his
lungs were pierced. Five times in the
course OF the war he was reported dead.
On two occasions he was able. with the
aid of mirrors. to look into apertures
in his flesh and watch the beating of his
own heart" He is in New Haven now.
which proves it. says the Army and
Navy Journal.
There arrived at the Washington
navy yard recently the first large con-
signment of war relics taken from
Spanish ships at Santiago, including a
number of guns from the Teresa,
which now lies hopeless wreck on
Cat island. They were brought to
Washington by the U. s. s. Leonidas,
which was one of the convoy of the
Teresa at the time she was abandoned.
Altogether she brought twenty-three
guns removed from the enemy's yes
sells; all of them are Of 55 caliber and
could not be converted into either five
or six inch guns of the American navy.
Ten of these were from the Teresa, ten
from the Viscaya and three from the
Oquendo. One six-inch gun taken from
the Teresa was also on board. One of
the five-inch is historic from the fact
that the entire gun crew managing it
was killed by shot which broke
through the gun shield. Another gun
has an indention in its side. the result
of being hit by one-pounder. All the
guns show some marks of the fierce
fight.
Capt. John H. Buckman. retired sea
captain who once sailed under Admiral
Dewey, says that once an Irishman got
the better Of Dewey. then lieutenant
commander, in the brief passage of
words. The ship was being prepared
at Boston for sea. Dewey asked the
Irishman whether he had ever been
to sea-" The quick response was:
And how do yez think came to this
country. in a donk cart?" That Dewey
was always a man of resources Capt.
Buckman illustrates by story Of an
occurrence in Boston harbor A lot of
green Irishmen had been sent to his
ship. He ordered them aloft, but they
refused to go, apparently afraid to risk
their necks SO far from deck. Dewey
thought over the matter moment and
sent out to a store for half a dozen
hods. When they were obtained he
ordered the Irishmen to carry bricks
to one of the cross-pieces and lay them
there and Capt. Buckman says he and
his comrades were somewhat surprised
at the alacrity with which the Irishmen
hods over their shoulders, climbed
aloft. This is good. but doubtful.

Her Hero,


II used to be the football man who wo-.
the maiden's praise.
She wore his colors on her breast through
peaceful autumn days,
For woman loves a hero since tho days
of lance and shield,
When knights in cleaning armor rode
to battle in the field
So the modern girl Is happy when she
hears the drums quick beat
ana the music sounding sayly to the
tramp OF soldiers feet.
For she has real hero nova hero
brave and true
And he's marching on TO battle with the
boys In blue.
When he stands beside his comrades in
the thickest of the fight
Her face will shine before him like star
upon the night.
Above the noise OF battle and the can
mons awful roar
He'll hear again the voice that bade him
good-by at the door.
Tis the dream OF women weeping spurs
men on TO v!ctcry
And tho thought OF home and hreside
that sets n nation free.
And the hero dashing on to death will
think to pray
For the girl he lef, behind him when he
went away,
Women's eyes VIII grow a-weary waiting
Tor the war to cease.
Looking out across the midnight for the
blessed dawn of peace.
Listening for the bugle's signal or the
guns across the foam
That will say the battles ended and that
he will soon be home.
gntl then. by lonely hearthstons
mothers. wives and swecthcarts
wait
and from many n city doorway and from
rose-grown country gate
one prayer will cleave the heaven-that
the war will soon be through
The light is In the window for the boys
IN blue,
There are some who will look In sadness
on the flags of triumphs gay
And viii only see the face OF death. the
face so cold and gray.
With the stars and stripes he fought for
placed above him pail.
And twill hardly seem to mothers that
the victory's worth II all.
laurel garlands lose their brightness In
mist of binding tears.
And mothers sobs are louder some
times than a nations cheers.
While the roll OF honor's sounding many
hearts will break in vain
For the boys In blue that marched away
who won't come home again,
