DIDN'T DIscoNcERr ORATOR.
Speaker Who Got Back at the Man
Who interrupted Him.

Who Interrupted Him.
"oratory is not lost art" said
Major Newman Of Tennessee, now In
Chicago on business; at least, it's still
power In my state. One of the most
famous old-time orators In southern
Tennessee was William. universally
known as Bill Grove He was a law
yer OF decided ability, though his con-
Vivial habits prevented him from ac-
cumulating any property. Before the
war, Lincoln county, where Grove re-
sided, was decidedly democratic, the
lawyer being an enthusiastic whig.
Like the great majority of his party,
Ell was opposed to secession, but
finally yielded to sectional prejudice
and enlisted in the confederate service,
serving with considerable distinction
for four years. After the close OF the
war Bill became Democrat, but many
old-timers never forgot that he had
been whig and lost no opportunity
of irritating the old lawyer. A few
years ago the surviving confederate
soldiers Of southern Tennessee held a
grand reunion, Bill Grove being the
orator OF the day. The opera house
was crowded and Bill was doing honor
to himself and his section in delivering
mastery and telling address, when,
while speaking of the outbreak of the
war, an old democrat in the rear of
70 hor 10
tor, shouted out: Where were you
then, Bill? The face OF the old law
yer blushed, but he was a real orator,
and had evidently no intention Of
spelling the well-rounded period that
came next in order or losing the OPP
portunity of making a grand climax,
for he never looked at the man who
had sought to confuse him, but bided
his time and continued in ringing
tones: That little stream of blood
which first began to trickle down the
nations side at Fort Sumter rolled
on, widening, deepening, surging, I'M
til 1t became vast deluge-a deluge
upon whose red bosom rolled and rock
ed the frail ark Of southern national
ity-an ark which knew no Ararat,
but, wrecked and ruined, sank beneath
the engulfing food deeper than plum
met ever sounded; carrying with 1t the
noblest ship and the boldest crew that
ever foated upon the sea OF time-I
was there, you fatherless reprobaate!

QUEER CHRISTENING CUSTOMS
Chinese. Despising Girls, Number Them
Instead of Giving Them Names.

Chinese. Despising Girls, Number Them
Instead of Giving Them Names.
In some countries curious customs
prevail in regard to selecting the
name of a baby. A Hindoo baby is
named when 1t is IL days old, and
usually by the mother. Sometimes
the father wishes for another name
than that selected by the mother In
that case two lamps are placed over
the two names and the name over
which the lamp burns the brighter is
the one given to the child. In an
Egyptian family the parents choose
name for their baby by lighting
three wax candles; to each Of these
they give name, one Of the three
belonging always to some dignifed
parsonage. The candle that burns the
longest determines the name for the
baby. The Mohammedans sometimes
write desirable names on FIVE slips of
paper, and these they place In the
Koran. The name upon the slip first
drawn out Is given to the child. The
children Of the Amos, a people living
in northern Japan, do not receive
their names until they are five years
old. 1t is the father who then chooses
the name by which the child is after
ward called. The Chinese give their
boy babies a name in addition to
their surnames, and they must call
themselves by these names until they
are 20 years old. At that age the
father gives his son new name
The Chinese care 80 little for their girl
babies that they do not give them a
baby name, but just call them No.
l. No. Q. No. 8, according to their
birth. Boys are thought SO much
more Of In China than girls that If
you ask Chinese father who has
both boy and girl how many chill
dren he has he will always reply,
only one child" German parents
sometimes change the name of their
baby II 1t is i'll, and the Japanese
are sure to change the name Of a
child four times.

several times, and. receiving no an

and held a council Of war, when
George, as tacitly acknowledged organ
izer, decided that they would get into
the upper window by climbing upon a
shed roof, and dislodge the enemy.
you get club from the woodpile,"
he said, ''and l." unclasping it and slip
ping it into the breast pocket of his lit
tie spencer, will take my knife. Let
me go first, and if there are two of
them you can club one while finish
the other.'
All this was as real to US then"
said my informant, 'as was the battle
at Manila afterward to him. We made
our way stealthily to the upper win
dow, opening it with the utmost eau
ton, lest our prey, apprised of our
approach, should escape us; but upon
entering the room there was not a
creature to be seen. On examining the
door we found that the fire-shovel had
fallen against it in such a way as to
prevent its being opened from the out
side, and the mystery being thus
solved, we descended the stairway and
set about our syrup boiling"
Another adventure in which the dan
ger was by no means imaginary threat
ened a more serious termination, and
might have reversed the victory at Ma
Mia.
There was pile of logs in the back
yard at the Deweys, and the doctor
having professional call likely to de-
tain him all day, George procured a
half filled powder horn, and, calling his
young companions together, invited
them to unite with him in a self
appointed celebration. Having bored
hole In one of the logs and filled It
with powder, they arranged a fuse,
inserted a plug and retired to safe
distance to await results,

innocent people, for victims often de-
ceive themselves in this way. A blind
ly credulous patient-under the thumb
OF young woman. say-might cause
scene at once, and order the doctor
to be kicked out.
The doctor dare say no word to
those about the patient, for he may
be confiding in the very murderer and
he may but hasten the end by word
In this way; again may he be shown
the door. Can he confide in the usually
laundering, tactless head of police,
probably an ignorant promoted con-
stable, who might precipitate a crisis?
Is he not even counting ruin by call
ing in another doctor-that is. If he
has no power to prove his suspicious?
l know a splendid young fellow who
had built up practice worth 21,000
year, with a prospect OF three times
that. He saw patient was being
murdered, and at once confided in that
patients solicitor. This man made q
stir, pooh-poohed the whole affair,
called In another doctor, and spoke
about the affair locally. The verdict
OF the public was This doctor wants
to be too clever: we dare not have
such a man in our houses; he might
say my housekeeper was poisoning
me" The patient recovered, because
the murderess-f 1t was a woman
was frightened off; the doctor was
ruined. and had to leave the place. But
In less than six years the woman the
doctor had suspected was charged with
numbering, by poison, another wealthy
employer, bachelor. Poor consola-
ton for the doctor.
People who have been purposaly

the grave, people who have been 9TH

when the terrible injuries of a patient
that could not have been self-inficted

why Burning Wood c.ackle..

Wood crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by heat forces
its way through the pores Of the wood
with a cracking noise. Green wood
makes less swapping than dry, because
the pores contain less air, being filed
with sap and moisture, which extin-
guish the fame, whereas the pores Of
dry wood are filled with air, which
supports combustion.

cATARRu OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe ana Ell
fectuaI Cure for It,

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings,
a formation of gases, causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, tickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out,
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show Shiny, inf1amed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thorough
ly digested before it has time to fer
ment and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach. To secure a
prompt and healthy digestion is the one
necessary thing to do and when normal
digestion is secured the catarrhal con-
dition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diatase,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores under
the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and not being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and assurance
that healthy appetite and thorough di-
gestion will follow their regular use af-
ter meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
local condition resulting from neglect
ed cold in the head, whereby the lining
membrane of the nose become, Inhamed
and the poisonous discharge therefrom
passing backward into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing ca
tarrh of the stomach. Medical author
tiles prescribed for me for three years
for catarrh of stomach without cure, but
to-day l am the happiest of men after
using only one box Of Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets. 1 cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. I
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-
est preparation as we'll as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach,
biliousness, sour stomach heartburn
and bloating after meals.

stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be

WAYS OF A MErHoD1cAL DOG.
In Regard to the Time of Day and His


In Regard to the Time of Day and His
Meals.
Jack of Cummings mill is described
as remarkable dog. Cummings mill is
in Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, and
Jack was born there while the saws
We're buzzing and the big wheels were
revolving. He is half mastiff, half
water spaniel, and is very handsome
animal. His extraordinary intelligence
is displayed in many ways, but It's
greatest development is manifested IN
the procuring Of three square meals per
diem for Jack, except on Sunday, when
he is content with two. AS Jack is only
fourteen months old, great things are
expected of him in future. He is of no
expense whatever to Mr.. Cummings,
the mill owner. He hustles for himself,
and does it systematically and success
fully. The moment the mill engine be-
gins to whistle at seven o'clock in the
morning Jack gets up, gives himself a
shake, emits one short yelp and trots off
to the house of Mrs. Moss, who lives
three or four doors from the mill. Ar
rived there he seats himself and gazes
earnestly at the gate as If awaiting
coming event. He is seldom disap-
pointed, for usually in less than min
ute Mrs. Moss energies from the rear of
the house with a basket of bones which
are soon cracking between Jacks splen-
did white teeth. If by chance the good
woman delays more than two minutes
precisely Jack throws his muzzle toward
the sky and bowls.
At noon the whistle sounds once more
and this time Jack HES him to the house
of Mr.. Burger an old Grand Army
man, but he does not stop outside the
gate. He enters and schatches at the
back door until duly served with his
noontide meal At six o'clock he sallies
forth for the third time and descends to
the cellar of Mrs. Norton's house, three
blocks away, where he finds a plate of
than once a predatory cat has fore
stalled Jack and cleaned the plate. On
such occasions the dog will give two
yelps.
And now comes the most extraordina
ny phase of Jacks intellectual character.
The mill whistle does not blow on sun
day, and yet at just after seven, as
usual, he is in front Of Mrs. Moss gate
with the usual expectancy in his eye.
Only on Sunday, so it is solemnly de-
clared, he never yelps.
And, again, as it is the war veterans
custom to tale only two meals on
Sunday, breakfast and six o'clock din
ner, Jack never gives him call on that
day, but is on time at Mrs Norton's at
five o'clock, when she partakes of her
