THAT SETTLED IT.-A story is told
of very popular cavalry officer. He
was being tried for drunkenness, and
among other witnesses was his Irish
orderly. The court, anxious to give
the officer every chance, put several
questions to this witness, with view
to eliciting any facts that might be in
his masters favor. When the orderly
said that his master, on going to bed,
had expressed wish to be called early,
the members of the court-martial were
distinctly pleased.
A man who gave special instructions
to be called early could not, surely
they argued to themselves-have been
drunk. Hoping to get favorable
particulars, the judge advocate put a
further question:
"And why did the major wish to be
called early ?" they asked.
"Faith an he tould me it was be-
cause he was to be queen of the May,
came the answer.
That settled it.-Collier's Weekly.

A MAN WITH A PAST.

"Is there anything in your past, "
the beautiful girl asked, "that you
have kept from me? Oh, Arthur,
think before it is too late. Surely you
cannot wish to make US both unhappy,
as we should be if I were to learn after
we are married that you had not told
me all-that there was something you
had kept back. Arthur !" she ex'
claimed, drawing away from him,
"there is-there something you have
kept from me! You are pale and you
dare not look me in the eyes !"
The young man stood looking at the
floor and nervously clasping and un-
clasping his hands. At last he hoarse'
ly replied:
eyes, Adelaide, it is true. have
not told you all. Alb, forgive mel 1t
was not my fault. Before heaven /
swear it! l had hoped that you might
never need to know. Do not ask me
to explain. 1t is too terrible. You
will learn to love some other. l can
20 away somewhere and drag out my
days in shame and SORROW"
Then, womanlike, she.put her arms
around his neck, looked up into his
strong, manly face and said in a low,
sweet tone:
"Arthur, let me help to bear your
burden. Have not promised to share
all your joys and sorrows9 Do not
keep this from me. Do not leave me
in doubt. Perhaps can forgive you
and thus save both our lives from being
wrecked"
With an effort he pulled himself to-
gether and replied:
"My mother used to dress me as
Little Lord Fauntleroy,' and once she
had my picture taken in that costume u

REMEDY FOR PNEUMONIA.
Poultice Made of Onions and Meal Said
to Be Effective.

fOullCe hauc "a ohioho ohu HAooA S<sAS
to Be Effective.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun offers the following prescription
for pneumonia:
Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine, put in a large spi'
der over hot fire; then add about
the same quantity of rye meal, and
vinegar enough to make it thick
paste. :,
In the meanwhile, stir it thoroughly
letting it simmer five or ten minutes
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs, and apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When it gets cool apply another, and
thus continue by re-heating the poui.
tices. In few hours the patient will
be out of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
in this too often fatal malady. Usual
ly three or four applications will be
sufficient but continue always until
perspiration starts freely from the
chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known
who never lost patient by this dis
ease, and won his renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
best medical talent had pronounced
their case hopeless.
Personally, we know of three per
sons who were saved by the remedy
last winter in Boston after their physi
clans had given them up to die, and II
a record was made of all similar cases
during the last six years it would bill q
good sized volume.

I6r The other day in one of the pub
lie schools, as lesson in mental exer.
else, all of the pupils in the school
were required to answer what they
would buy if they were given dollar
to spend. After many others bad an
swered, naming the usual toys and de-
sires of children, a small boy of six
made the surprising statement:
'I would buy Billy wife,"
"And who is Billy ?" asked the sur
prised teacher.
"Billy is my man DOLL" he replied.
1t seems that the boy has doll at

case of Adam in the garden of Eden

McLAURlN Is RIGHT.
His Course Has the Approval OF Well-In-
formed Business People.

HIS Course Has the Approval Oh "oh-Ah
formed Business People.
Abbeville Press and Banner.
Senator McLaurin has been receiving
some thrusts in the newspapers of this
state because he had the courage to
vote right on ratifying the Paris treaty
of peace, by which the United States
acquired Puerto Rico and other islands
While we have heard comparatively
few of our people speak on the sub bject
yet we do not now recollect to have
heard anybody express himself as op'
posed to the possession of the islands
Just now Senator McLaurin seems to
fill a bigger place in the minds OF
the people than any one else, and
is more thoroughly endorsed than
ever before. He has earnest supper
ters hereabout, and we do not remem'
Der of having heard single man say
that be was opposed to his reelection,
while, if we err not, every man who
has mentioned his name would support
his e-election. Senator Tillman, in bis
thrust at his associate in the senate,
has added nothing to bis own laurels
but his course has evoked pronounced
and unequivocal endorsement of Sena'
tor McLaurir.
1t may be mere accident that all We
should hear is on one side of the dis
cussion of Senator McLaurin, and it is
barely possible that there is strong
opposition to him of which we have
not heard but we give it as our opin'
ion that if test of the public senti'
ment of this country was taken, Sena-
tor McLaurin need have no fear what
ever Of the result.
The fact is, Senator McLaurin voted
right on the ratification of the treaty
of peace, and it is as certain as any
human event can be that the public
sentiment will sooner or later sustain
the act. When Senator McLaurin
shall come before the people for re-
election, two years hence, it will be
seen that the public sentiment will be
with McLaurin, and as solid as posi-
BILE on the subject of holding to our
newly acquired territory.
In saying this, we would not dis
psrage the ability or the sincerity OF
Senator Tillman. The people will re.
turn him to the senate, despite the fact
that he is fighting a losing game. The
people will not follow him in any ef.
fort to repudiate the action of the gov.
erment in taking possession of Puerto
Rico and the other islands.
In this instance, as in the case OF
previous acquisitions of territory, many
good men were opposed to the exten'
sion of the territory; but the people
today, like the people on occasion OF
former additions of territory, are set.
ting down in the conviction that the
expansion in this instance is right, and
that they would sustain the govern
ment in holding on to all the territory
over which our flag floats.
