Story of g Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains Of disease is the
worst form Of slavery. George ID.
Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to DO her own work. "
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is
godsend to weak, siekly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.

Return of the Cradle.

When physical culture came into vogue
and was applied to the upbringing of
babies, the first act of the reformers was
TO discard the old fashioned cradle, 1t was
said not to be healthy for the baby TO be
subject to the sccsawing motion of the
cradle.
Now a Chicago woman physician has
come out with the idea that the baby needs
cradle to get little exercise and u
healthy circulation of the blood. She dis
carded the cradle for her own children
but for her grandchildren she has grown
wiser She declares the cradle is not an
adder of infantilc brains, but only sends
the necessary amount of blood to all parts
of the body.
Something of this theory has made its
way into "a big babies hospital in this
city, where IA doctor is arranging some
thing in the way of a baby exerciscr, and
we may hear before long of the baby gym
nasium, in which every day the baby will
be properly exercised, New York Herald

Poor HObsOn!
What has become of the miserable Hob.

What mas become OF the miserable Hob
son?
Three months ago the magazines and
newspapers were filled with his pictures
The house in which he was born was il
Illustrated. His kin wrote pieces about
him. His schoolteacher told Jokes about
his cuteness as q boy. Women kissed
him. He was proposed for president, for
governor, for United States senator Sew
eral women became noted because he had
once been in love with them. The buggy
in which he was wheeled as q baby was
sold in little pieces rs relics. His photo
graphs brought dollar each His auto
graphs were worth 81. Babies were named
for him. Hotels were named for him.
Corsets were named for him
Nothing Is known of him now except
that he is at Manila. He may be among
the dead, for all anybody knows or cares.
This is possibly the first time his name
has been In print in two months. The
people have another idol.
The manner in which the American
people mako a hero of man and then
drop him after swelling his head is funny
also ridiculous. -Atchson Globe.

the rush up the rocky slope of the spur
known as Kettle Hill In that rush he
was wounded and disabled.
Charles A. Wikoff the first brigade
commander to go down at the bloody
crossing and the only one killed at San
tiago, was one of the 70, 900 minute
men who responded to Lincoln 5 call in
April. 1861. He enlisted as a private
and two months later was commissioned
lieutenant in the regulars. While hold
ing the rank Of lieutenant he won the
brevets Of captain and major for gal
lantry at Shiloh, Chickamauga and
Mission Ridge.
When the press was ringing with
plaudits for the brigades of Hawkins
and Wlkoff for their charge at San Juan
Hill, the officers of these commands
Pearson's brigade. the last to get
through the crowded roadway to San
Juan river. Reaching there it plunged
into waters waist deep, lined up on the
bank and charged to the crest nearest
Santiago. This movement was executed
by General f. =. Pearson, at his own
discretion. This soldier was also vol
unteer private of April, 1861 He won
brevets at Charlottesville and Atlanta.
The third commander OF Wikotf'
brigade to fall within 10 minutes was
Colonel Liscum of the Twenty fourth
infantry. Liscum was hero in the ewes
of comrades before the Mausers made
martyr of him. Originally volunteer
private of 1861. he served two years in
the ranks of the regular army. In the
charge up San Juan hill he was sur
rounded by younger men, but the fleet
est of them couldn't pass him until he
lay stretched out in the tall grass by
bullet. General 5, b. NJ. Young, leader
of the cavalry at Las Guasimas. had his
hour cut short by an attack of fever,
which sent his pulse to 100 before the
battle opened at San Juan. Young was
an April volunteer in 1861 and served
all through the war with the Fourth
Pennsylvania cavalry. Four brevets
were given him for gallantry, the last
that of brigadier general, to reward
brilliant services in the Appomattox
campaign. He joined the army in 1866
with the rank of second lieutenant.
General Young is another soldier who
calls to mind one Of Napoleon : mastery
fellows, hammered out of good material
by the rough blows of constant warfare.
He is a type Of what long war brings
out in the volunteer as Chaffee is of the
warrior trained in the exacting school
set for the enlisted man in the regulars.
Differing in many ways even to the
principles of their profession, and at
extremes in size Young being of power
full build, these two men have been
noted for the close friendship which
sprung up during their service on the
plains. Starting even in 1861 as private
soldiers, the year 1898 found Young
colonel Of the Third cavalry and Chaffee
lieutenant colonel of the same regiment.

hostlers and plowboys won the baton
Of field marshal But it is something
surprising in view of the small army
maintained since the war the number
of West Point graduates and the ire
mcndous roll of volunteer officers of
high rank who sought regular appoint
ments at the end of the civil war, that
so many of the brilliant leaders in Cuba
originally took mp arms as private sol

SO much has been told of the career
Of General H. w. Lawton in warfare
against the Indians that to the average
reader it will be news to learn that he
served throughout the West Virginia
campaigns Of 1861 as an enlisted man
in the Ninth Indiana three months vol
unteers. He was engaged at Philippi,
Laurel Hill and Carricks Ford, and
when the three months men were reor-
gained became commissioned officer
of the Thirtioth Indiana. In that regi-
ment he won several promotions and
was mustered out in 1865 with the ac-
tual rank of lieutenant colonel A few
months afterward he began all over
again as second lieutenant in the regu-
lar army In the Santiago campaign
this able soldier. who up to that time
had never exercised a command in ac-
tual warfare higher than that of cap
tain, led division, duty properly be-
longing to a major general. Twice re-
warded for that, first with the rank Of
major general then an appointment
to command the army of the Philippines,
he must be set down as born soldier
of the stamp Napoleon so quickly dis
covered and brought to the front
With Lawton at Ell Cancy winning
honors for his chief, and sharing them,
too. was General Chatfee, a soldier
whom the correspondents and other
outsiders praise as 1.-THE noblest Roman
of them all. Army officers are chary
of very high tributes, but all of them
who know Chaffee personally declare
that he is "every inch a soldier, a
phrase that comedies every military vir-
tue to the man in uniform aimed at.
Any one at all familiar with the his
tory of Napoleon army who should be
in the presence of General Chatfee with
ont calling up the image of some of the
fighting marshals promoted on the field
by the Little Corporal would seem
deficient in imagination. His face is SO
strongly of the military type that it is
un-Amcrican, except when compared
with classic types like mad An

son. And it cannot be said that
Chaffee was favored Of fortune when
winning his spurs in the ranks Of
the Sixth regular cavalry. He enlisted

ter at Bull Run, and he was two years

Conceited and boastful Chaffee was I'M

construed into criticism of anybody or
anything
Chaffee won two regular army brevets
in the civil war, one for Gettysburg and
one for Dinwiddie Court House and two
for battles against the Indians
So many men have been glorified for
their work in the cavalry rush up San
Juan ridge that there seems little room
for another hero, but the truth of his
tory demands that word be spoken
for Henry Carroll, the only leader in
the division above regimental com
mand who was wounded in that desper-
ate encounter. Carroll commanded the
brigade composed of the Sixth. Third
and Ninth cavalry by virtue of his
rank as lieutenant colonel Of the Sixth,
General Samuel Summers own regi-
ment. 1t was doubtless because he was
the son of the distinguished Major Cen
eral Il. V. Sumner that Samuel was APP
pointed second lieutenant in the regu-
lar army in 1861, two years after Car
roll enlisted az private in the regular
artillery and two years before he got
his commission and that was after
passing through all grades from private
to first sergeant. Carroll served four
years in the ranks and 90 as a line Off
Ger and was commissioned major six
years after Sumner reached that rank
