The Money Value of blood.

If any man doubts the value of
blood he a learn a few valuable
lessons by n trip to a market where

There he will see well-bred steers

many stockers and feeders handled
every spring at u great markets,
but never too many of the right kind
appear for sale. When extra bred

kinds.-Nationai Stockman.

T q BATTLE.
Two Country Girls Found On
the Scout for Hospital
Supplies.

Do you remember Antietam and
the bitter days that followed, when
u brave soldiers lay wounded and
suffering and dying?
There was lack of woman's nursing,
There was dearth Of woman's tears"
and there was a lack, too, of medi-
cines, and b~andages ard lint, and a
dearth of j%ellies and home dainties
and other things to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the wounded.
Calls were Immediately issued to
our aid societies to forward hospital
supplies as quickly as possible. The
president of the local society of
which I was a member at once Issued
a call for a special meeting, and sent
out her scouts in the persons of
young girls to secure beforehand the
necessary articles with which to
work.
Ours was a country place, where
good farms and comfortable homes
abounded, and we found it n delight

all country folk had daily papers in
these days., and asking for and re-
ceivins everywhere something to help
in this hour of need, says Mrs. NJ. A.
Robinson, in the National Tribune.
In one home we found an old lady
with her chest of homemade linen.
There were tablecloths woven in
dainty birds-eye and snow-drop pat
tern, and sheets and pillowcases, fine
and soft and white as snow. Some
she spun and wove with her own
hands when n young girl, twisting
into each thread sweet thoughts and
bright hopes, and weaving into all
happy dreams and fancies, wherein
were no hints of wartime sorrow;
some, her mother, long since dead,
gave her on her wedding day; some
were the work of a dear sister, and
all lovingly cherished as precious me-
mentoes of the past. But" SAID she.

after giving us the history of each.
and there was a pathetic little catch
in her voice as she said it: There
is nothing too good to give for the
comfort of our soldiers"
She had two grandsons in the army.
And next day that old linen, that
would now be worth almost it's
weight in gold to relic lovers, was
torn into banGages or scraped into
lint; and some poor wounded lad was
made more comfortable, let us hope,
by its dainty s~oftness.
In another home the busy house,
wife, when appealed to, exclaimed:
30, the poor boys; how 1 wish they
had some nice jelly this hot day! 1
will go at once and make some to
send them" and all the rest of that
September day she spent gathering
fruit and making and canning jelly,
that IL boys, parched with fever in
southern hospitals, might have a
taste of the refreshing dainty.

There may have been: but there were

A WELCOME CONGRESS.

From the New York World.
 The fifty-seventh Congress will begin Its first session on the 2d of December. Con- trary to the popular feeling on many oc- casions, this meeting of Congress will be welcome to the country. The contempla- tion of It's near approach, at this sad and critical juncture, will have steadying effect upon the nation.
 It Is right and natural that this should be so. "In a representative Republic" says Story, "all power emanates from the people and Is exercised by their choice" The legislative body is the people in Con- gress assembled The people exercise through Congress the sovereign power They-the people-make laws, levy taxes declare war. coin and borrow money. raise and support armies and provide and maintain a navy. They are '%he govern ment"
 It is well then, in the grave circum- stances of change in the executive, that Congress is soon to assemble. It Is Re publican S1 both branches. In the upper house are many statesmen of long ex- perience, large ability and very clear and decided views as to the wisdom of the policy of the late President The House is directly from the people There is no Likelihood that Congress will sanction any radical departure from MT. McKinley's s policy, even should one be contemplated

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 Was President Mckinley killed by the attending physicians. or by the assas- sin? That Is a question people will na- turally ask In view of all the circum- stances, and they are going to continue to ask 1t. The attending physicians themselves invite the question, and their bungling way of answering 1t has brought out some facts that do not apear favora- ble to them. Of course, it is highly prob- able the attending physicians could have done nothing to save him; but 1t is evi- dent, painfully evident to intelligent ob- servers, that they didn't know the Presl- dents serious condition. and allowed him solid food when, according to the au- topsy the bullet which was traced through the stomach. had caused gan grene. In the language of the official re- port, the area of this dead and gangren- ed flesh was a source of much surprise, reaching a circumference of about the size of a silver dollar about the internal wounds" Why should this development have been surprise to the physicians and surgeons noted for their skill and ex- perience In their professions throughout the country? It has been suggested that, perhaps, the bullet was poisoned and the atetnding physicians could not have an- ticipated this area of dead flesh and gan grene In the stomach. but one of the at- tending physicians hooted the idea of poisoned bullet. an intimating that this condition was far from unusual in cases of wounds in the stomach and through the body.
 But it Is evident, whether unusual or not, that some of the physicians had no proper appreciation of this possible con dition of the stomach at least, on three separate occasions; first. when they is- sued bulletin saying that the President asked If he could move, and when told that he could. the President, without assistance, changed his position;" and, again, when they issued bulletin say ing the President could be moved at any time with safety to Washington or else where, and, last. but by re means least, when, as they announced in their bulle- tin, they allowed the President to have 'solid food" In a stomach that had but so recently been penetrated by bullet.
 Of course the Journals knowledge of such things is limited to that of a lay man, but 1t will venture the opinion that If the victim of the assasin's bullet was other than the President. and the crime an ordinary one, and the physicians were less famous, shrewd, sharp attorney could so play upon the facts before a jury and make such a strong case against the physicians that there might be some very grave doubts raised in the minds Of jury as to who really murdered the President. There are those who think the President had too many skilled and learned doctors. But people will talk,

Cotton and Cotton Goods:

Two-ply yarns, No. 20. are selling at about 141a cents a pound, and Char lotte dispatch shows that this is be- low the cost of production at present. It puts the cost of labor, freight and commissions at o.iI cents, which added to $50 cents, the cost of raw cotton, makes 15.21 cents the cost of produc- ing pound of yarn,
 Either yarns must go up if these figures be correct, or cotton must go down Cotton goods are in better de- mand, and print cloths are higher. The condition of the entire cotton goods market may be described ashopeful.
 The mills are as yet undecided as to what course to pursue in buying. At present they are not making con tracts for a years supply, preferring to buy cotton as needed, and leaving to the future the settlement of the price question. They do not hold much cotton, and the stock of yarns is light, and the mills will be apt soon to decide as to what they will offer for a years supply of the raw ma terial. It will not be less than 8 cents

ROOSEVELT ON ROBERT LEE.
the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 Now that Colonel Roosevelt has become President of the United States especial interest attaches to his views. To South ern people his views of Southern matters and his estimates of Southern heroes are of great concern. Any light thrown upon his beliefs that discloses the broad-minded man capable of rising above sectional prejudice and partisanry is specially well come The following communication will be read with interest by the followers of Lee:.
 MT. Editor:-In order to remove some of the erroneous impressions which ex- ist in reference to the character of Presi- dent Roosevelt, ask you to reproduce the following extract from a little book have in my private library. It is from a life of Thomas H. Benton by Theodore Roosevelt, now the President of the Unit ed States. I have owned my copy since 1889, so that the extract is no recent publi- cation of MT Roosevelts opinions It shows him to be a man of broad and liberal views and is a noble tribute to the Southern soldier and a splendid eulogium on our great military chieftain. Robert E. Lee. GEO. T. BARNES.
 It is as follows:
 ..The world has never seen better soldiers than those who followed Lee, and their leader will undoubtedly rank as without exception the very greatest of all the great captains that the English-speaking people have brought forth-and this, al- though the last chief of his aptagonists may himself claim to stand as the full equal of Marlborough and Wellington

cided to leave the old country and seek refuge in the New World. A majority of these settled west of the Blue Ridge, { and large number of the Scotch-Irish became the pioneers in the western part of Pennsylvania. Among those who came over at this time was a certain James Stevenson, who also spelled his name as Stephenson, and who had 1t spelled for him in the patent from the proprietor of the colony, stinson.
 The precise date of his arrival Is un- known, but it was undoubtedly. from ap- pearances. while the first George was still reigning. In the year TAO. the same year the church obtained a patent, he received a patent for land aggregating 3S4 acres in Donegal. He was consequently one Of the pioneers of the state, and he must have been one of the earliest in Donegal, for his property Is choicely located. being, as described in his will, north and adjoin- ing the Donegal church"
 James Stevenson had two sons and four daughters. Of these, the eldest son, Ma tbaniei, who died bachelor, inherited the property and at his death 1t went to the eldest daughter, Anne, who married John Watson, in whose family the prop erty remained until 1872, when 1t was sold to General Simon Cameron, The Stevensons were a weil-to-do people and al one time had number of slaves. The second eldest daughter, Hannah, married John Gray, who lived near the sister, Hannah, at Bainbridge, and afterward in Westmoreland County. Their daugh- ter, Sarah Gray, married David McKin- ley on December 10,17S0.
 David Mckinley was in the bloom of manhood at his time, having returned from the war, in which he had served twenty-one months. having enlisted no less than eight times in as many differ ent companies Their second son, James Stevenson Mckinley, was born Septem- Der 19 17S3. He subsequently, settled in Mercer County, where he married Mary Rose, and their son, William McKin- ley h. anne the father of President Mo- Kinley

4 Remarkable Man.

"On reading press cable from Berlin about pr. Rudolph Virchow. the eminent pathologist, and his eightieth anniver- sarv soon to be celebrated, I was remind ed of a pleasant interview I had with this versatile and learned man at his home In Germany ten or twelve years ago., re- marked a well known mineralogist of this district.
 Every physician in the world knows of Virchow as a specialist in the medical profession. It was he who created the cellular theory In pathology, l believe. He Is a great authority in biology, while in medical practice he Is famous among other things as throat specialist.
 But the surprising fact Is that Dr. Virchow is leader in several sciences outside of pathology He is, for exam ple. Germanys foremost anthropologist and archaeologist and knows more about the mound builders and prehistoric col lections of America than does many col lege professor in the United States. He Is a good geologist. He is also man of letters and a politician. When I met him he was a radical member of the Reichstag and wore the regulation radical hat, coat and wooden shoes. He was extremely simple in his manners and habits and all the time I was with him I was marveling at his capacity for turn ing his attention to so many sciences. Educated Englishmen are noted for their varied accomplishments and their indus try in intellectual work, but I never met or heard of any man In Great Britain or any other country who was so many sided or so thorough as this old Ger man"

Ezeht Vsce Presidents Have Beeu
 Znamguruted Chsef Magzstr0tes

It Is interesting just at this time to re- call the political gossip. which just prior to the Republican convention in Philadel phia in June, 1900, was going the rounds of the entire commonwealth in connec- ton with the e-Presidency. News paper readers will remember that at that time more than at any other, this higd office took on the appearance more than ever before of a political graveyard, and was frequently referred to in such terms.
 This was doubtless due to the attitude of the recent vice-Presidents toward the honor. With a perfect wave of Roosevelt sentiment sweeping over the convention city, be held back from the nomination and was plainly no seeker for the honor.
 Governor Roosevelt at that time was one of the most conspicuous figures In the public eye. His more recent achievements had been of a brilliant character. He was spoken of as presidential possibili- ty for 1904.
 Whatever may have been the sentiment in regard to the future honor, the press generally considered him an aspirant and as such the wisdom of his accepting the vice-Presidency was generally comment ed on.
 In the dispatches of the day preceding the convention is found this statement anent his attitude:
 Roosevelt was said to have been told by his friends that to yield would be to stand in his own light as a candidate for President four years hence; the Vice Presidency was the political graveyard from which he could not be resurected. Ills place, they urged, was at the head of the ticket in New York again this fall. In the last proposition Roosevelt con- cured"

Long Live the KlnQ.

That strange rumble which was heard few days ago in all parts of the Southland proves to have been the Hopping of the fioppers in Republi- can circles. Today man with a lan- tern could not find among Republican officials and aspirants a Hanna man and supporter. Some have even for gotten the name of the fallen ex-boss. They are not certain whether 1t was Mark or Marcus or Marcus Aurelius. Their memories fail them, and they are trying to refresh those particular memories. They are endeavoring on the other hand to forget the past. To . man they were standing by Hanna . fortnight ago. and to a man they do not know him even by reputation now.

quite sure that Ohio and Indiana and the Central West is any longer a part of the American union, or rather of the Republican party Their eyes are turned towards the morning, which is New York, and the number of original Roosevelt men is increasing daily. The study of ranch and cowboy life Is go- ing on gloriously. All are becoming proficient in it, and in the story of El Caney and the Shafter campaign, and the part that the rising sun took in it.
 AS for the fallen chief the less said the better. The Age-Herald advised him several days ago to begin the study of Cardinal Wolsey' soliloquy. The immortal lines do not fit the good President, whose torn body rests to- day in the old home at Canton, but they do describe the Ohio Senator's present condition:
 Farewell, a long farewell. to all my great ness!
 This is the state of man; today he puts
 forth
 The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow blossoms,
 And bears his blushing honors thick upon
 him.
 The third day, comes a frost, killing
 frost;
 And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
 His greatness Is a ripening-nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. l have ventura. Like little wanton boys that swim on badders, Thus many summers In a sea of glory; But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride
 At length broke under me; and now has left me
 Weary and old with service to the mercy 0 ] rude stream, that must forever hide
 me.
