r1a.aa. wnunded 1n Battle.


Horses wounded on the battlefield
are duly attended to when no danger
to human life is involved The veteri-
nary officer in charge is expected to
follow close on the fighting line and,
together with a number of aids, to IN
spect properly wounded animals ana
give instructions for their removal or
slaughter, as the case may be. The
veterinary surgeon is naturally expos
ed to considerable danger, but II MS
work is not carried out during the
progress of hostilities in all probability
it cannot be accomplished afterward,
for, although the royal army medical
corps is allowed to proceed to the res
enc of the wounded men under the
Red Cross, the members of the army
veterinary department are not permit
ted to attend to the injured horses. be-
cause they are not under the protection
of the Geneva convention, which makes
no provision whatsoever for wounded
animals.
At the conclusion of the battle, II 1t
has been decisive and one or other or
the combatant armies has been driven
from the field, a party of veterinary
surgeons, with their assistants, is sent
out to examine every animal that has
fallen and to shoot such as are badly
wounded. Those suffering from only
slight injuries are collected and taken
to the veterinary hospital lines, formed
as fixed camps and established on a
similar basis to those of the royal ar
my medical corps. = Pearson's Maya

The information concerning the ex-
preston "a son of sea cook says
the Philadelphia Times, has not been
found in any reference dictionary. 1t
comes from a prominent citizen, man
of affairs and a man of intelligence.
In 1852 he was for period the cam
paign companion of Leonard SWEET,
who at that time was candidate for
congress in Illinois. Mr.. SWEET was
the bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln
his alter ego In 1888 he was the adj
vocate in Chicago Of the presidential
aspirations of Walter Q. Gresham.
At the time referred to Mr.. SWEET
had an engagement to address voters
in Fremont and Pekin, in Tazewell
county, and by the informant referred
to was driven from Fremont to Pekin.
SWEET had few equals as converse
naturally never to be forgotten by the
man who had proffered his services as
q driver.
The latter, speaking of well known
lawyer of Pekin, remarked, "He is a
son of a sea cook" Mr. SWEET turned
abruptly about and said: ''That express
sion is not correct You mean the son
Of a sekawk, which is a perversion of
the Indian name segonk, which means
a skunk and is usually pronounced Sc
hawk. Few people ever use the term
correctly or comprehend its meaning"

The Hend waters TIPS.

One of the most expensive restau-
rants In New York is conducted, so far
as its observing patrons can tell, on a
unique system of tips The head wait
er Of the room devoted to the use of
the men guests makes it point to be-
come acquainted with them, find out
their names and becomes genial In the
half respectful, half presuming way
that SO frequently passes for good ma
ture among employees of the kind in
this country. Naturally he receives
liberal fees from his clientele, which is
made up of rich men able to pay high
prices for the extra service they re-
ceive.
When there is no financial response
Of this kind to the walters advances,
his cordiality diminishes. The walters
under him do, with unusual willing
ness, the head walters bidding. They
are evidently Indifferent as to their
own success in the matter of fees. 1t
Is only the good will of the head waiter
that appears to be the goal of all their
efforts.
Such unselfishness astonishes regular
patrons of the restaurant, and one in
particular undertook to discover the
reason of this attitude of the walters
toward their chief. He learned after
awhile that the tips the head waiter
received were large enough to enable
him to give the walters a part of his
earnings for attending with particular
care to his patrons, who, as a rule, con-
fine their contributions to the head
waiter. The guests who fail to take
advantage Of the head walters over
lures to friendliness are not likely to
fare we'll in that restaurant. where the
walters, certain of fee from the man
over them, are Indifferent to the guests

trons.-New York Sun.

If you see q man with an unlighted
cigar between his lips, 1t is not be-
cause he is looking for light, but be-
cause he is INDUCING In the pleasure OF
"dry smoke" How there can be any
enjoyment in this to smoker is not
readily apparent, but the fact remains
that there is much satisfaction in the
habit, and, besides, there are no bane-
full effects.
For inveterate smokers the dry smoke
IS a good habit to cultivate. 1t enables
many slaves of the weed to decrease
the number Of cigars actually smoked
in day without causing much incon-
venience. OF course an inyeterate
smoker would find no pleasure in the
habit at the start, but perseverance is
necessary, and after awhile he will en-
joy his dry smoke almost us much as
the real one. 1t is good way to be-
gin If you desire to stop smoking. Try
it and see.-New York Herald.

The day on which l was installed in
my present charge | was requested to
address the Sunday school. l attempt
ed to make plain to the children the
idea of installation. In doing so l re-
lated this anecdote: A congregation
has called a new minister. His in
stallation is announced for a certain
Sunday. Coming home from church a
boy who evidently has listened to the
announcement very attentively, asks
his father: Father, what do they do
when they install minister? Do they
put him in a stallY' mo-" replies the
latter, they hitch him to congre-
cation and make him pull"
A little girl had evidently not seen
the point in this. for when she got
home she told her mother-the mother
related this to me afterward-that she
wanted to go to church that evening.
My installation was to take place in
the evening What for. my dear? You

he wrote to Peck asking him whether

Their First Lesson.

A sister of the late e. P. Roe tells an
amusing story of the first lesson which
she and her brother ever received In
Roman history.
Among our most loved and honored
guests, during our childhood, was DR..
Samuel Cox, for many years promi-
nent clergyman in New York. AT
times our conversation turned on his
tory, and remember, on one occasion,
he asked Edward and me If we could
give him the names of the first Roman
triumvirate.
At this period of our existence the
name Caesar" was associated exclu-
sively with an old colored man, whom
we often. visited and who lived upon a
lonely road in the neighborhood. We
were vastly astonished, therefore, to
learn that the name had ever been
borne by more illustrious person than
our dusky friend, but we listened en-
tranced to the story of the rivalries of
Caesar and Pompey for the empire of
the world.
Unhappily the good doctor could not
remember the name of the third tri-
umvir, and the lack troubled him great
ly. That night, about 2 o'clock, l was
startled by loud knock on my bed
room door, and DR.. Cox called out:
MARY, are you awake"
I replied that l was-as indeed was
every one else In the house by that
time.

then he returned to his room greatly
relieved.

Two beautiful chestnut horses, Jack
and Sam, were among my early friends
They were clean built. high stepping
trotters of speed which might have
distinguished them Oh the track, but
they led a happier life, being favorite
carriage horses in a region Of beauti
full country roads or sometimes, under
the saddle. threading lovely forest
paths.
Rarely used in single harness. they
had been as rarely separated. and
when in their old age Sam became
blind it was a touching thing to see
Jacks constant watchfulness over him.
Their pasturage was In fields broken
by rocky Lodges and where more than
one steep ravine suddenly descended
from the smooth sward. Jack never
left his friend Constantly beside him,
If Sam went too near a perilous edge,
the stream, a rock or fence, he would
go between him and the danger push
ing him aside or. If that could not be
done. he would take him by the name

The German Vote ana Bryan.


The combined deposits of the dis
tinctly foreign savings banks Of New
York city are more than $110,000,0O0,
and the depositors number more than
217, 900. Most of these are Germans.
The Bryan people say they are sure
of the entire German-Ameriean vote
because of Imperialism, but neither the
German-Americans nor any other for
eign born citizens are likely to vote
their savings in half for Agulnaldo or
anybody else They would not be like
ly to do it If all that the Bryan dodgers
say about the Philippines were true,
and if worse were true they propose,
if they can do 1t with their votes, to
preserve their savings and the full
value of their savings. They know
that whatever decoys the Bryan game
hunters use-imperialism, trusts, mill
tarism or anything else-the real thing
they are after is TO slaughter the gold
standard. And the German-American
and other citizens of foreign extraction
know that If Bryan should succeed in
decoying this country into his free sill
yer game bag their savings banks de-
posits would be more than cut in half.
