He Knew the Spot.

An amusing anecdote is related Of
General Sherman, who, as command
ing general Of the army, visited West
Point one June for the graduation ex-
ercises. He accompanied the COM
mandant on his Sunday morning tour
of inspection of barracks, and on enter
ing a certain room he walked over to
the mantelplece. STOPPING down, he
pried up brick from the middle of the
hearth with his sword scabbard and re-
vealed a hollow space about a foot
square, in which was nicely packed a
considerable quantity of tobacco and
other contraband articles. Meanwhile
the cadets occupying the room stood
by mutely watching and wondering
what sort of man the general was to
have been able to discover the only
cellar" of its kind in barracks Turn
Ing to the commandant, the general re.
marked:
81 have been wondering If that hole
was still there. l made it when was

Strategy In a Street Car.

"In the matter Of strategy woman

II usually get seat, for take the car
away down at Fourth street The
other evening l was busily reading my
paper when a woman got aboard at
Twelfth street. l glanced up slyly and
saw that all the seats were occupied.
Hasty as my glance was, she caught
my eye, and that was my finish. Smil-
ing broadly, she came over to where /

my life, but I lifted my hat and re-
piled that we were all well. she must

with myself, so l folded up my paper
and gave her my seat. After she had
settled herself comfortably she looked
up at me In queer sort of way and
said: Really, must beg your pardon.

much like him.

A dozen or two OF mere babies were

German Coal Situation.

Berlin, Dec. Am the Reichstag on
Monday Herr Brefeld, minister of com
merce and industry, replying to an in
terpellation on the subject of coal
prices said: Although the govern
ment does not control the syndicates
in the matter of fixing prices of coal
II is not opposed to customers buying
direct from the mines. The depart
ment of commerce and industry has
diverted certain amounts from the pro
duct of the government mines, destin
ed for wholesale dealers, reserving
for such associations the home produc'
ton which has increased 100000
tons during the year. The scarcity
was caused by the falling off in the
output of the English, Saxon and Bo-
hemian mines and by the increased re.
quirements of industry"

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may Be from some
remote ancestor, for CaAssr often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant In the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes It's ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
uently all the poisonouS virus must be
eliminated from the blood--every vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
IS the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
Of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often In small way, as the

General CO.. auelIed a Muttnx.

General Cox was good discipline
rian, but he never clustered and was
never severe. On one occasion several
officers called, at his headquarters and
stated to him that they would not
promise to march their men up the mar
row river valley. He sent them to their
quarters and said nothing of their i'm
pertinence until after the war.
While in camp at Gauley bridge his
quartermaster general shot q private
In the Second Kentucky. The men of
the regiment escaped the control Of the
officers and made rush to kill the
quartermaster, who had been taken to
Cox's headquarters. Cox saw the men
coming, but instead of ordering the
guards to fire on them he ran toward
them alone, bareheaded and unarmed.
He reached gap i'm a stone wall ahead
of the 500 or 600 furious armed men
and stopped them. He explained that
they might kill him, but they could not
pass.
Strengthening to his full height, he
said, "YOur general, unarmed, as you
see, orders you to remember that you
are soldiers and obey" Much to the
surprise of the score of anxious officers
watching the parley, the men returned
to their camp. Cox sent for company
from another regiment, which guarded
the prisoner to the lower camp. No
charge Of mutiny ever appeared against
that regiment which afterward, under
Nelson and Palmer, made a splendid
reputation for drill, discipline and hard
ghting.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

An Improvement.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Dec. 4.-The
farmers in the vicinity of Fair Plain,

have inaugurated an improvement
which will add greatly to the value Of
their farms. Subscriptions have been
taken and the contract let for a num-
Der of gasoline lamps to be erected
along Colfax avenue for distance Of
two miles. The lamps have been test
ed in several places and found to work
satisfactorily. The contract calls for
five years service. The farmers are
also graveling the highway and have q
bicycle path constructed at the side Of
the road a distance of seven miles.
