LAYTON AND HIS MEN.
The Generals First Thought Was for
His Soldiers.

HIS Soldiers
If Gen. Lawton never spared his
soldiers in the field, it is also true that
he never ceased to protect them and
look after their interests. a story
may serve to illustrate his solieitude
for his troops.
Once during the hurried. march
from DaiQuiri to the front several
newspaper correspondents found
themselves more than usually badly
off for food. Their always scant sup
nv was exhausted, and one of the
number was sent to Gen. Lawton's
headquarters to forage. The creden-
tiAls from the war department author
ired correspondents to draw rations
IS officers. but Lawton was several
thousand miles from the war depart
ment. and. besides, it was known that
he had his own views upon such mat
isrs.
The correspondent went with mis-
Civings into the generals tent, and
submitted his request for rations and
offered to show his credentials.
'Nevermind that thing" exclaimed
Gen. Lawton, waving away contemp-
tuously the official document Of the
war department. eve are in the
field"
"But, general, we are starving"
urged the correspondent.
'TYou are no worse off than my SOL
diers," he said, "and my first care is
for them"
He knew that the correspondents
were not necessary to the success Of
the campaign and could walk back to
Siboney if they did not like starving
at the front.
az shall have to go to Gen. Wheel
en-" said the newspaper man, as he
turned sorrowfully away. Gen.
Wheeler was three miles distant and
the road was knee deep in mud.
"He will say the same thing"
grunted Gen. Lawton.
But Wheeler didn't, He gave an
order on his commissary at once.
Gen. Lawton thought the soldier
was about the only thing to care for
at such a time.-N. Y. Herald.

Don't look for flaws as you 20 through life;
And even when YOU find them
IL is wise and kind TO be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtues behind them.
For tho ci0udiest night has a hint Of the light
Somewhere in its shadow hiding.
IL is better far 10 hunt for star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current life runs every way
To the bosom of Gods great ocean;
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think 10 alter Its motion.
Don't waste a curse ON the universe,
Remember il lived before you;
Don't but at the storm with your puny form
But bend, and let il fly Der you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whim to the letter:
Some things must go wrong your whole life long
And the sooner you know it the better

KICKING.
Disagrseable Trait That Indicates the
Nature of the Beast.

Disagrseable Trait That Indicates the
Nature of the Beast.
"Does he hck?" We were Just
passing blacksmith's forge when we
heard the question asked by the ap-
prentice, who was cautiously ap-
preaching the horse driven up to the
door. He laid his hand upon the
flank ofthe well-fed and well-groomed
creature, watching intently the slight
est motion Of the head or the least de-
Election Of his eye. 'Does he hck~
he asked again as he walked around
to stroke his muzzle and to examine
his nostrils. And as he had yet re-
ceived no answer he stepped back a
pace, and, scrutinizing the sleek geld
ing from ears to heels, said: 'He
looks to me like kicker"
Wepassed on, wrapped in thought,
The lad was unconsciously philoso-
pher. He had learned that the
amount Of kicking in this world does
not depend upon the kickers environ
ment, but upon his disposition. The
important question is not whether
there is anything to kick about, but
only whether it is the nature of the
beast to kick. If it be in him to kick
he will kick just as quickly at house
fly as at bulldog. Ifheis "built that
way" he will kick at the groom that
feed him as promptly as at the driver
who fogs him. As all horsemen
know, it becomes at last his one sole
amusement even when alone; for
while other horses are doing in their
well-bedded stalls, the hcker's heels
can be heard playing a noisy tattoo
upon the wall behind him or the parti-
tons at his side. Treat him never so
gently it matters not. Ifhe bea "kick-
er" he will always and everywhere
and under all circumstances find occa-
sion to kick.-Chicago Interior.

toed through the dining room and through
the kitchen and past the waiter who had
come in to help for the day and who
looked at them curiously and on to HUI

The door stood open. and as they went
along the little hallway that led to it a
beautiful glow came out OF it. and mo-

Hulda began to sing q song about the
Christ. 1t was IN her own language. bat
it was none the less impressive to Azure
because of thai. 1t was q beautiful song

In the midst Of all this 4 call came for
Azure from the drawing room-aH imper-
