Cherokee Ex-Confederates.

One of the most unusual sights to be
seen at the coming confederate VET
erans' reunion at Louisville, KY, will
be company of Cherokee Indians
from western North Carolina. These
redmen will attend 80 strong, and are
the remnant of a company that served
during the four years of the civil war
as confederate soldiers. They were
member of the far-famed western
North Carolina brigade of Gen. Thorn
as, and during the entire war these
noble redmen made themselves repu-
tation for being hardy. faithful and
true soldiers, the equals of any who
took a part in the bloody struggle.
The company will attend the reunion
as part of the Fourth North Carolina
brigade, U. C. ", under the command
of Capt. F. NJ. Ray. The redmen of this
company are now living on reserva-
ton near Ashevillc, n. c., which was
appointed to them before the civil war,
and which they were satisfied to re-
tain after the exodus of Indians to the
west had set i'm. O. Times Demo

WATCHING THE S1CKBED.
Why the Physician Frequently Pre-
fers q Hired Nurse to Relatives
or Close Friends.

It requires strong health and steady
nerves to watch by sickbed. For this
reason a hired nurse is often preferred
by physicians in a critical case to the
relatives and friends of the sick. Moth
ing is so Objectionable in sickroom as
display of emotion or nerves. Steady
watching, night as well as day, is often
necessary when the disease reaches a
crisis, and on such occasions the most
devoted friends are likely to be so un-
nerved by anxiety that they cannot
care for the sick properly. The night is
the most dangerous time in sickness.
There should be fresh nurses put on to
watch the sick at night in cases of seri.
Gus disease. One who has watched the
sick during the daytime is unfit for
watching at night, when the greatest
care is necessary and when the facul-
ties should be on the alert to notice
auy change. In regard to the sick at
night, an eminent physician says:
"The attendants on sickbed are well
aware that the objects of their anxiety
experience in ordinary circumstances
the greatest amount of suffering be-
tween midnight and daylight. or the
usual period of the Growing of the cock
If we contemplate frame at this

temperature and the air approaching

ences act with painful energy, and re-

BEFORE PICKETT CHARGED.
The Gallant Soldier Refused to Take
u Drink ON the Eve Of
Battle.

One of the most terribly dramatic
scenes of the civil war was Pickett's
charge on the third day of Gettysburg.
The moments of anticipation were aw-
full in their intensity. They are thus
recorded in the recent volume, ''Pickett
and His Men,"
Pickett had received a note from
headquarters. He handed it to Long
street.
Gen. Longstreet, shall 1 go for
ward?'' he asked.
Longstreet looked at him with an
expression which seldom comes to any
face. He held out his hand and bowed
his head IN assent. Not word did he
speak.
'Then I shall lead my division for
ward, SIR said Pickett, and gal
Hoped off.
He had gone only few yards when
he came back and took a letter from
his pocket. On it he wrote in pencil:
''If old Peters nod means death,
good-by and God bless you, little one!'
He gave the letter to Longstreet and
rode back. That letter, with it's faint:

THE BICYCLE RICKSHAW.


The bicycle built for two is to go the
way of all things that have had their
day. A charming, device is to take its
place this season, known as the ''bicy
Gle rickshaw." The ~rickshaw is at
tached to an ordinary bicycle by means
of a strong steel wise, and can be ad-
justed in few minutes. 1t has pneu-
matte tires, and rides as smoothly as
bicycle. The occupant has. merely to
sit still and allow her husband, brother
or sweetheart to propel the bicycle,
and with it the rickshaw.
The weight Of the rickshaw is only %
pounds; and, with the easy movement
of the light, pneumatic-tired wheels, it
requires very little extra exertion on
the part of the cyelist to carry it with
him. The sight of these graceful little
conveyances skimming along the bicy-
Gle roads and park rideways will be a
most enchanting one. They possess so
many advantages over the tandem BIZ
cycle that they are sure to supersede
these almost entirely. ~ ) < ~ /

been doubt about the comfort and So
ciability of this style of wheel. Con-
versation was next to an impossibility,
except with, the accompaniment of a
mutual stretching of necks that was
disagreeable and often dangerous, for
the steersman has his work cut out to
avoid obstacles, without trying to carry
on social conversation with the occu-
pant of the rear saddle.
The question as to who was doing
the work usually came in to disturb the
harmony of the occasion in the event
of husband and wife being the tandem
riders. When the muscles began to tire
and the wheel to drag, the mutual ac-
cusations of "You're not exerting your
self at ALL were sure to be the prelude
to a more or less acrimonious debate
that marred the enjoyment of the out

The Young French Idea.

A French scholastic journal, the Re.
vue Pedagogique, publishes the an
swers to a number of questions put to
the pupils of academies in the depart
ment of the Nord. The questions were
placed in the hands of $4,000 children,
who had to answer the questions with
out consultation with each other or
with their friends outside. Among the
boys Intercepted more than $4,000
confessed to smoking cigarettes, cigars
or pipes. One question put was: care
you happy?" To this question about

On the contrary, 1853 boys and ego girls

other question put to the pupils was

of the boys answered Eyes," the ma

were also asked: do you wish to be

with friends much on the road. 1t re-
quired too great an effort to start the
tandem for the riders to dismount and
engage in friendly converse when an
acquaintance hailed them. The two
were compelled to keep on their road,
the rear rider having an uncomfort-
able time of it trying to stretch her
neck to see where the steersman was
taking her, and compelled to trust
blindly to the care of her escort in the
matter of safe steering. Many at
tempts have been made to obviate the
Objectionable features of the tandem
and still retain it's few good qualities.
The effort to do this gave us the twin
wheel, the riders of which were side by
side. 1t was not success. The wheels
took up too much room.
The bicycle rickshaw solves all these
problems at one shot. The lady in the
charming little carriage cannot be ac-
cused of failing to help the bicyclist,
for she has merely to sit still. and be
wheeled along. Instead of an unsightly
double wheel, the rickshaw is one of
the prettiest and most graceful convey
ances ever put on the road. If a stop
is desired it can be made without the
slightest inconvenience, and bicyclist
and occupant of rickshaw can converse
with mutual acquaintance or with
each other, and start off again with
ease.
For anyone unable to ride bicycle.
and unwilling to learn, the bicycle
rickshaw is simply the acme of delight.
for all the pleasures of bike trip can
be enjoyed to the full. with the added
boon of exertion not being necessary.
The bicycle rickshaw can be used by
invalids, but not for long journeys. as
the strain on the bicyclist going uphill
is rather too much, and it is necessary
for the occupant of the rickshaw to get
out and walk on the up-grades. She
gets her reward going down the de-
cline, for this experience is one to be
remembered always with. pleasure.
The bicycle rickshaws will probably be
used by many with menservants to
propel the conveyance. The sight of
these occupants of the rickshaws meet
ing and holding social converse will
soon be common one in our parks and
fashionable outdoor meeting places

TANNING A BEAR CUB.
How an Alaska Indian Girl Accom-
plished q Feat Which Her Eld-
ers Wouldn't Undertake.

On the return trip of the steamer
Pomona from the Alaska gold fields
brief stop was made at Juneau, where
a polar bear cub was presented to the
captain of the ship. He at cnce named
it after the village whence it had come,
and chained it on the after deck for
the amusement of the passengers.
Every one took great interest in the
roly-poly stranger, as sundry scratched
hands and legs soon bore testimony;
but Juneau refused to be cultivated
by the human family. She was vi
cious little savage, .snarling and snap
ping at every offer of peace and good
will, until finally the passengers were
glad to give her wide berth.
We had bright little Indian girl
on board, however, who persisted in
thrusting her friendship on Juneau.
Her guardians, the missionaries, were
prepared to see the cub give her bad
scratch, but it was soon evident that
she was quite equal to caring for her
self.
Each evening little Olga saved her
dessert of fruit and cake, and fed it to
the cub. Although Juneau ate the
peace offering greedily, she still threat
ened her admirer with her claws. But
Olga had a plan.
One day she cut an apple into tiny
bits, and deliberately seated herself on
the deck within the circle allowed to
the cub. The very presumption of
the act caused Miss Bruin to stand and
stare while Olga took the bits of apple
and dropped them in a line, starting
as near the cub as she could reach,
and leading to her feet. Then she
continued the apple line to her knee,

ANOTHER DOG MASCOT.
How "Maine'' Won Inperishabls
Glory ON the Firing Line In the 9
s 4 Philippine Country. s

One Of the pet war dogs that made
record for itself is called MAINE" and
belongs to battery D, First California
artillery, u. 8. v. She was with the
battery from the beginning of its trip
until its return a year later.
She is Great Dane of good pedigree,
is mouse-colored, three feet high and
weighs about 200 pounds. Her age is
two years, and she undoubtedly has
had one Of the most eventful careers in
dogdom.

Struggled aboard the transport, her
soldier companions little thinking that

almost died. At Honolulu she was taxi

trusted officer, Lieut.. Morse, now dead,
until the next transport 81 touched,
when she was taken on to Luzon.
Long and dreary were the days of the
soldiers at Cavite. but ''Maine" was al
ways on hand and happy with the
boys, cheering them up. She had an

little Filipino children who sold sweet
meats to the American soldiers came
to know ''Maine" as we'll as anybody
did. They would feed her candy and
then go to the battery boys for their
money.
The marked intelligence possessed
by the dog was shown by the fact that
she knew the bugle calls perfectly and
was ever first to respond. But on the
firing line she won the most glory. AL
ways at the front~during an engage
ment, she seemed to enjoy the smoke
and roar of battle and the whizzing of
bullets, and proved herself very val
liable as messenger. She participated
in the battles of San Rogue, Carload
and Delalican, fought on February 9,
1899; Rosario, June 10; Noveleta, June
IS, and Salinas, June Is. At the bat
tie of Noveleta she received wound
and won the heart of every American
soldier by her bravery and intelligence.
While death and destruction was fly.
ing everywhere "Maine" was in adj
vance of the American troops. Sudden.
'ly she was struck by Filipino rife
ball, and quickly the word was passed
along the firing line that "our mascot"
had been fatally shot. But in mo.
ment maine" came rushing toward
the American army with big Filipino
sombrero in her mouth, undoubtedly
captured by her from the very ranksof
Aguinaldo's forces.
Cheer after cheer went heavenward
for the brave mascot. But the wound
she had received before reaching her
command was harsh one. and loss of
blood compelled her to give up the
fight, though she would not leave the
boys or the firing line,> and one of the
soldiers used her as a rest for his
rifle, firing shot after shot over her
PROSTATE form. The ball had entered
''Maine's" body just above the vital
spot, back of the shoulders, and it was
a week before she recovered from the
wound. But she received more atten-
ton, perhaps, than any man in the
hospital, and was pulled through

THE SOLDIER SLEEPS,

BY lowland or by highland,
Where'er he served. his day
Was full of stern endeavor, and
He earned a soldiers pay.
Hard marches, meager rations,
Short nights and stinted rest;
Death babe him ground his arms, and here
He SAUNDERS with the best.
In some up-country churchyard,
Where loving fingers keep
The MOSES from his gravestone.
His dreamless peace is deep;
Where serrted ranks are waiting
To hear the reveille,
He lies beneath his country's flag.
In goodly company.
Altar from home, they've followed
A narrow house for him,
Where feathery palms are waving green,
And jungle swamps are dim.
For him no more they matter,
The tropic storms and Gains, ,
SO hushed he lies, SO sound he sleeps,
Beneath the swaying palms.
His little children, pausing
In midst of happy play,
Are proud of father, that he rests
BY great Manila bay.
Too young to feel;
Too small the care to know,
They thrill with pleasure that he met
And dared the swarming foe.
One loyal woman standing,
Her hand against her breast
AS If to clutch and tear its pain,
In agony depressed,
Sees naught OF fame and glory,
Hears naught Of bugle's breath:
She only knows her soldier sleeps
The cold, still sleep of death.
BY lowland and by highland,
= Where'er he served, his day
Was full of stern endurance and
He earned a soldiers pay
Dear flag that droops above him.,
For you he paid the price,
Nor counted dear it's utmost drop,
Red blood of sacrifice.
