Written for the Confederate Veteran J
SAM DAVIS.

When the Lord calls up earths heroes
To stand before his face.
o, many a name unknown to fame
Shall ring from that high placel
And out of n grave in the Southland.
At the just Gods call and beck.
Shall one man rise with fearless eyes
And a rope about his neck.
For men have swung from gallows
Whose souls we're white as snow.
Not how they die nor where, but why.
Is what Gods records show.
And on that mighty ledger
Is writ Sam Davis name
For honor's sake he would not make
a compromise with shame.
The great world lay before him,
For he was in his youth.
With love of life young hearts are rife.
But better he loved truth.
He fought for his convictions,
And when he stood at bay
He would not finch or stir one inch
From honor's narrow way.
They offered life and freedom
II he would speak the word;
In silent pride he gazed aside
As one who had not heard.
They argued. pleaded, threatened
1t twas but wasted breath.
"Let come what must. keep my trust
He said and laughed at death.
He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope
Where kings drag down name and crown
He dignifed rope.
All. grave where was your triumph?
All. death. where was your sting
He showed you how man could bow
To doom and stay king.
And God, who loves the loyal
Because they are like him.
doubt not yet that soul shall set
Among his cherubim.
o Southland bring your laurels:
And add your wreath, O North!
Let glory claim the hero's name.
And tell the world his worth.
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

NEW VOL. 35.---NO. SO.

"A LIE NaNSh'Si, boAOthyi slt'
The officer suddenly stopped down
till his face was on level with hers,
and fixed his little eyes on her face.
"Vere is your fadder und his men ?
Tell me dat, child" he commanded,
pinching her cheek with his gloved
hand.
Then this little ten-year-old girl,
spurred on by her love and loyalty,
set about to fool this fat old German
in a way that would have done credit
to an old gray head.
Il can take you to my father, but
it is long, long way" she said, look
ing up at the officer with her big, in-
nocent eyes. And I'll lead you to
him you will play the drums for me.
love to march to drums
The officer laughed and gave an or
der, and Immediately the "rt-a-tat-
tat. rat-a-tat,tatl" was echoing through
the woods.
"Dere, my leetle gurl; how you
like dat, eh ?"
Its beautiful, said the little guide,
and all the time she was wondering
if her father had heard the warning
sound.
Poor Dorothy grew very tired Her
little feet ached so she could hardly
walk, and she was far from home with
a lot Of rough strange men, who would
do harm to her dear father if they
could catch him. Still she kept brave
ly on, mile after mile. All the time
she strained her ears for the sound OF
the three musket shots that would tell
of her fathers escape.
Crack Crack Crack Three mus
ket shots in slow succession rang out
family on the still night air.
Zach :" muttered the German COM
mander, cooking his head like fright
ened sparrow. 81 wonder vat dat 'iss.
1t sounds long way off,"
"Th-that's papa" whimpered the
little maid. "And he's safe now'and
you can't catch him.. And with that
Dorothy flung herself upon the ground
and burst in hysterical sobs. "You
can kill me I" she cried, "but he's
safe, and You can't touch him"
The German grew purple in the
face when it dawned upon him what
a fool this mite OF a girl had made Of
him. Then what do you suppose he
did? He went over TO poor Dorothy,
who was weeping her heart out on the
damp ground, and picked her up in
his arms.
Poor Mrs. Sterling, wild with grief
and alarm at the absence Of her
daughter, went to the front door for
the fftieth time that evening and saw
a strange sight. Up the dusty road
came the Hessian officer and in his
arms was little Dorothy, fast asleep.
Madam" said the gentleman as
he deposited his burden in the arms
Of the thankful mother, Madam, !
bring back your daughter. She led
me FOOLS errand to save her fadder.
Und vat do | say ? / cay | wish ! had
such ? daughter und should be 80
broud T. And then the funny little
fat officer made stately bow and
went away to join his comrades.
Captain Stirling lived to be a great
and honored man, and az for little
Dorothy, she lived to have grandcbll-
dren Of her own, and none was more
eager to celebrate the Fourth of July
than she.

The missionary had preached
long and earnest sermon to the In
dians on the duty Of Sabbath observ-
ance, and ended by asking them if
they were willing to abstain from
work Sundays. With one voice they
answered, Eyes, and on all other
days"
a good many people, not Indians,
feel very much like them on this ques-
ton.

The Rectum, Its Importance

The Rectum is one OF the most important
organs of the body.
Through 1t large portion of the waste,
etfete, and poisonous matter generated In
the system is expelled.
When the functions of this organ are inter-
fered with, these poisonous elements are re-
tanned in the system, poisoning the blood,
clogging the glands, impairing nutrition and
assimilation and engenderlng diseases that
not only cause great suffering but destroy
life.
Disturbed digestion, arrangement OF the
nervous system, rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Catarrh, diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys,
bladders, uterus, all these arise from retained
fecal matter in the rectum, caused by inter-
nal piles, ulcers, structures and other causes
that obstruct the canal.
The majority of these diseases are readily
cured, without cutting, tying or bruising.
Thousands of people are daily dying from
operations, but with my system, invariably
the treatment is decided success.

Sweeney & COMBS Opera House
Tonight.
The Fort Worth Register of October
II says:
Mr.. Boiling Arthur Johnson comes 10
Texas as new parsonage upon the lee
ture platform. but those VINO attended
his first appearance will attest that nc
is to the manner born.
In making mis- choice from Southern
writer's Mr. Johnson has taken the best
which shows in the literature of the
age and those which more nearly depict
the conditions which have existed and do
now exist. These Writers are a part OF
the South, and the characters they pre-
sent in beautiful word pictures are
characters which are so much Of the
South that the sunny cline would lose its
splendor in the eyes of its own people
were they eliminated.
An attractive feature of the entertain
ment Is the emphasis given the stories
by the illustrations The stereopticOn
views which are presented are works of
art colored and retoucheo to a degree,
making it appear almost as II one were
looking upon the face of nature herself
and not the representation caught by the
camera made possible by the inventive
genius OF man. These illustrations are
large and numerous, and as shown
throughout the entertainment are attrac-
tive to the eXpectant eye of those who
Sit within the darkened house.
