Jasper Blues Get Back Their Flag.

The eleven survivors Of the Jasper
Blues, Thanksgiving Georgia company
of the civil war, are to be made happy
by the return to them Of the flag under
which they fought for some time.
Among the trophies Of battle gathered
by the First Maine cavalry was the flag
In question, and this regiment carried
1t home to Bucksport, Me-, in 1865. Most
Of the flags brought back by Maine reg
iments were sent to the state capital,
but this one was given to a citizen of
Bucksport, who hung it in his home.
Last summer a Georgian visited Bucks
port and saw the flag. He recognized
the name Jasper Blues" which is en-
broidered upon it, as belonging to a
company of soldiers recruited in Jasper
county, Ga, and negotiations were at
once begun looking to the return Of the
banner. The Jasper Blues entered the
service in 1861 and fought until the end
Of the war. The flag was given to them
by the women Of the county.

Too Much For Him.

It is evidently one thing to work
without knowing how much we do and
| ano,h thing to have our labors mapped
out before us in detail For several
months business house in this city has
enjoyed the ministrations of an I'M
usually faithful colored janitor. Always
prompt and faithful unerring in the
discharge of his various duties, Tom
was great favorite with the firm, and
the prospect was that he would abide
with them many years.
One day it occurred to the senior
partner that little more system in
Toms routine would be advisable and
perhaps render his work a trife easier,
so he wrote out in plain characters an
outline of the chores Tom had been do
ing every week. arranged perhaps with
more convenience to the firm and to
Tom. Unfortunately Tom could not
read. so the list was given to another
man employed on rougher work, with
instructions to read it to Tom and ex-
plain to him each days prescribed du-
ties
When the schedule was read to Tom,
however, the effect was astonishing and
disastrous. He listened quietly, but his
eyes grew bigger and his black wool
seemed to bristle on his head. At the
end he reached for his cap and said to
the porter: "Good gracious l ain goin
to do all that work" Then he walked
out and hasn't been seen since.-In.

Regardless of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body,
A majority of the ills affecting people to-
day is tTaceabe to kidney trouble. 1t pre-
vades all classes of society, in all climates,
regardless of age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are I'M
mistakable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia,
sleepessness, pain or dull ache in the back,
desire to urinate often day or night, pro-
fuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick.dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pOis-
oned and germ filled blood Sometimes
the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast-
ing of the kidneys) are found i'm the urine
which If neglected will result in Bright's
Disease, the most dangerous form of kidney
trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of

Tricked the Vicious Camel.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa was beaten by it's driver
Seeing that the camel had treasured up
the injury and was only waiting ia
vorable chance for revenge, the driver
kept strict watch upon the animal
Time passed away. The camel, know.
ing that it was watched, was quiet and
obedient, and the driver began to think
that the beating was forgotten, when
one night, after several months had
gone by, the man was sleeping on a
raised platform in the mill, while, as is
customary. the camel was stabbed in q
corner.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
by the bright moonlight that when all
was quiet the animal looked cautiously
around, rose softly and, stealing toward
q spot where bundle of clothes and q
burnoose thrown carelessly on the
ground resembled a sleeping figure,
cast itself with violence upon them,
rolling with all its weight and tearing
them most viciously with its teeth.
Satisfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to its corner
when the driver sat up and spoke At
the sound of his voice and realizing the
mistake it had made, the animal was
so mortified at the failure and discov-
cry of it's scheme that it dashed its head
against the wall and died on the spot.

WHAT "ALABAsTINEo Is.

Alabastine Is a durable and natural
coating for walls and ceilings. 1t Is
entirely different from all "kalso-
mine" preparations. Alabastine comes
In white or twelve beautiful tints,
and Is ready for use by the simple ad-
dition Of water. The latest make Is
adapted to mix with cold water. 1t
Is put up In dry powder form in FIVE
pound packages, with full directions
on every package. Alabastine has no
equal as q wall coating. 1t is hand
some. clearly and permanent. 1t can
be re-coated and retlnted at slight ex-
pense. Its merits have made 1t pop
ular. Prudent people coat their walls
with pure, porous, permanent Ala
bastine, which Is retinted with but lit
tie trouble or expense, Is purifying
and sweet-smelling, and fills cracks.
Paint dealers and druggists sell Ala

for those early days and it was while
teaching in Mt. Morris, Livingston coun-
ty, N Y, she became acquainted with
her future husband, VIM. Frain, and in
company with her husbands family

ritory. in 1882, and lived pioneers life
with all its privations and pleasures.
Mrs. Frain in early life was converted
and joined the M. E. church, of which
she remained faithful member, always
in attendance until the feebleness of

Her house was always known for its hos
titality, being home for all who came
under its hospitable roof. She was of a
kind and affectionate nature, always look
ing for something to do for others. Out

who 80 helped us and for the beautiful
flowers, which were the last tribute of
affection for grandma" F. A. F..

Crime Detecting by n Lock of Hair.

- One recalls the method of discover
ing a thief by chewing rice, said to
have been practiced in the east. But it
is not necessary to go SO far to find n
more remarkable method of thief
catching and not so well supported by
sound reason. y lady in Paris is re-
ported to have lost her purse in Il
drcSSmakcr'S establishment. She had
all the young ladies of the establish
ment called in, so it is seriously report
ed, and demanded from each one lock
of her hair.
The tokens We're then pinned to
pieces of paper bearing the owners
names. and as the customer left the
establishment She remarked: My
purse has been stolen, but as l do not
wish TO subject innocent girls to the
humiliation of being searched l intend
early tomorrow morning TO submit
your hair and handwritings to SOM
nambulist and clairvOyant, who viii
tell me which of you is the thief"
In the course of the evening the lady
received an anonymous parcel con-
tanning intact her purse with its con-
tents

No Freedom for FIIpInos Under Mckinley.
President Mckinley travelled to Min
neapolis to welcome home from the
Philippines the gallant 18th Minneso-
Ia volunteers, but instead of devoting
his remarks to the boys who had so
bravelv battled for their country, and
the lessons to be drawn from such acts
of patriotism, the president gave over
almost his entire address to defense
of his own policy of expansion. As
an unpreiudiced account of the dem
onstration states: Excepting his
salutarv words to the bronZed SOL
diers from Manila, every paragraph
of his speech rang with the doctrine
of expansion. He surprised even the
mem bers of his cabinet by his extra
ordinary vehemence and incision in
delivering his speech"
No part of the presidential utter
ances on this occasion was more sig
nificant than this: The future of
these new possessions is in the keep
ing of congress aud congress is the
servant of the people. That they will
be retained under the benign sover-
eighty of the United States l do not
permit myself to doubt" The Fill
pinos, he went on to say, ale to have
all the privileges of civilization. intel
ligence. christianity, justice, protec-
ton, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, all these blessings that
we enjoy in this country
because we fought for them
and bought them with blood, and
owe none for them. which is the chief
reason that they are so precious, but
which are to be given to the Filipinos
with n string tied to them. They
may enjoy them according TO the
measure that we deal out. They arc
to have none of the self-prescribed
liberties that have made America
great, and no promise of ever attain
ing the plane of self-government even
after we make them great. They may
live and. be happy, but their govern
ment, however beneficial, or however
just as we see it. or unjust as they
see it, will not be made to suit the
the governing.
Truly this is wondrous yeritication
of the olden truth with which the con-
tinental fathers were inspired, that all
men are created equal, and that all
Just powers are gained from the con-
sent of the governed.
