In the trails which William Jennings

itineraries are only the evolution Of
the methods which in early days
prompted a candidate to saddle his
horse, throw a pair Of saddlebagJ in

people. To-day the horse has become
a 120-ton locomotive; the saddle bags

physically, too, the work of a great
campaign on the railroads tells upon a
speaker. There is a loss of sleep al
ways. Towns through which a train
may pass in dead Of night often turn
out crowds who at least awaken the
candidate. Then the exigencies of an
itinerary force him to get up early and
90 to bed late
But even il a man sleeps soundly
the night through on a railroad train he
is not rested as he would have been had
he slept in a stationary bed. There is
reason TO believe that in the soundest
sleep possible in a fast-moving train
the muscles are making unconscious
efforts to neutralize the movements of
the body caused by swayings and JOLT
ings of the train. The nerves prompt
this. and to the extent that they are
kept awake the whole system is af.
fected. As the nerves are affected,
too, the tendency toward impairment
of the voice is increased. In many
ways they tend to this. chiefly by dis
concerning the speaker and causing him
to waste lung power.

In considering the campaign work of

gives uneasiness 10 the speaker and his

GEN. BULLER AND THE TUGELA
The English General Was EatinG
Sandwiches Where the Fire
Was Hottest.

It was during the advance of the
Devons and the Queens that the series
of brilliant attempts to rescue the guns
(at the Tugela) began. says Colenso
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian. A little earlier-about ten
o'clock-Sir Redvers Butler had left
the position he had appointed for him
self at the naval battery-the situation
on the right was too serious for man
of Buffers spirit to stay there now
and had ridden off toward the guns
with all his staff and the escort of the
Natal police. "Out of this, please" he
said-he was down among the naval 12-
Founders behind Longs guns now. The
Beers had perhaps recognized the
staff; the whistling in the air trebled.
'You oughtn't to be here, sir" gasped
Ogilvy. I'm all right. my boy" said
the general. The staff fingered about
the place; Sir RedYers Butler was eat
ing sandwiches, and from the scat
tered groups of men emerged one of
the most gallant trios that ever tried
to win the Victoria cross.
Of sthe three went for the guns-I saw
them go--Schofield, Congreve, who had
been leisurely giving me notes out of
his pocketbook an hour before up near
the naval battery. and young Roberts.
It was all no good; general
retirement was ordered, ten guns were
left on the field. = Sir Redvers
Butler and his staff came by me on their
return. The general climbed down
Imply and wearily from his horse like
an old, old man. I thought he was
wounded with vexation; did not know
then that he was wounded-though
slightly-with a bullet. which had
been passed round his ribs. The horse
of Lord Gerard, one of his aids-de-camp,
had been shot in the neck: Capt.
Hughes, the doctor of his staff. had
been killed-half blown to pieces-by a
shell; one Of the Natal police (the gen
erals escort) had had his horse grazed
In the fetlock, in the belly, and in the
mouth. and two bullets had passed
through his holsters. That is the sort
of fire the general had been under eat

THE OSTRICH AS FOOD.
Said TO Make Splendid Steak and
Soup, p4t the Boer VIII Have
None of 1t.

There are two dishes an ostrich FARM
er in South Africa VIII not tolerate on
his table, though both are considered
delicacies. One is ostrich soup, an
other ostrich steak, says the London
Mail.
There is not much eatable meat
about an ostrich, for his body is nearly
all bone. His long, delicate legs are,
however, supported upon remarkably
massive thighs. and these provide
joints which are utilized by the house
wife on an ostrich farm, when an unto
ward accident has ended the birds life
and he is fit for nothing except the
larder.
The thighs are SO extraordinarily
muscular that steaks cut from them
are not very appetizing. but they mako
splendid soup, which may even be com.
pared with the renowned turtle for
richness and delicacy. Its strengthen
ing properties are also great, and If the
ostrich were cultivated for food, in
stead of for feathers, it would very
likely prove q formidable rival in the
sickroom to the most expensive turtle
soup. But no farmer has the larder in
view when he rears an ostrich chick,
and when the birds grow up it goes
seriously against the grain with him
to hand q carcass over to the cook
when it alive would have brought him

Ostriches are dreadfully prone to
suicide. however, and are determined
fighters. anh as they don't know how
to conduct their battles wisely they
are usually victims to broken limbs,
and must be put out of their misery by
their owners, who cannot operate
surgically on such delicate members
as an ostrich's fragile legs.

As the man looked up at Philip In
oazed and uncertain manner Philip
said slowly:
You're not hurt badly, hope. Why
did you attack meY
The man seemed too bewildered to
answer. Philip leaned over and put
one arm about him to help him rise.
He struggled to his feet and almost
instantly sat down on the curb at the
side of the road, holding his head be-
tween his hands. For moment Phil
ip hesitated. Then he sat down beside
him and, after finding out that he was
not seriously hurt, succeeded in draw
ing him into a conversation which
grew more and more remarkable as 1t
went on. AS he thought back upon it
afterward Philip was unable to ac-
count exactly for the way in which the
confidence between him and his assail-
ant had been brought about. The Incl
dent and all that flowed out of it had
such a bearing on the crucifiXiOn that
it belongs to the whole story.

FILIPINO TRIBUTE TO LAwrON.

Dean Worcester, one of the best
authorities on the Philippine Islands,
told a story recently at q dinner party
in Washington to show the feeling
which the Filipinos entertained for the
late General Lawton..
A town had been taken, and as usual
in Lawton's command, there was no
burning or looting, and the head man
OF the town was greatly affected by the
difference between the American >oc-
cupation and q Spanish occupation
some years before, when everything
had been destroyed and the inhabitants
massacred.
II was sitting one evening with Gen.
Lawton in his little house, !" said Mr..
Worcester, s'when q native band came
to serenade the officer. 1 called the
leader in, and said that he ought to
know the Star Spangled Banner,' and
whistled it over for him few times.
"Inside Of an hour the band was
back again, and playing the American
air in good form. A native priest
asked Gen. Lawton and myself to at
tend mass at the church on the follow
ing day. We were surprised to hear
during the solemn music the strains of
Americas native air. We were after
ward told by the priest that he should
always, in memory of General Lawton,
include the patriotic air in his sacred
music at the church. Com

America, bu. Philips plan was not
adopted 1t was discussed with some
warmth, but declared to be visionary,
impracticable, unnecessary, not for the
church to undertake, beyond its func-
tion, etc. Philip was disappointed, but
he kept his temper.
"Well, brethren" he said, "what can
we do to help the solution Of these
questions? Is the church of America to
have no share in the greatest problem
Of human life that agitates the world
today? Is it not true that the people
In this town regard the church as an
insignificant organization, unable to
help at the very point Of human crisis,
and the preachers as a lot of weak,
impractical men, with no knowledge of
the real state of affairs? Are we not
divided over our denominational DIFF
ferences when we ought to be united
in one common work for the saving Of
the whole man? 1 do not have any
faith in the plan proposed to give our
benevolence or to district the town and
visit the poor. All those things are
well enough in their place. But mat
ters are in such shape here now and
all over the country that we must do
something larger than that. We must
do as Christ would do II he were here.

Would he not give himself? The

him with q look Of news on her face.

quickly.
"Yes, but you never can guess what

Considerable Appreciation.
"Some weeks ago." says the Memphis
Scimitar, "a young man left q small
package at the home Of a young wom-
an upon whom he was making his first
call. She wrote him a note telling him
he had left it. He wrote her one tell
ing her it was some edibles and that
she might appropriate 1t to her own
use. She wrote again to express her
appreciation. He replied to express his
appreciation Of her appreciation. She
retaliated with an expression Of her
appreciation of his appreciation Of her
appreciation. At the present time the
expression Of appreciation is going for
ward in arithmetical progression as the
letters multiply, and as they contain
something a little more serious in its
nature there promise to be some very
interesting complications resulting
from a correspondence presumably for
the expression Of appreciation"
