ICONOCLASM.

Pm in a state of deep disgust,
When people tell me that | must
Unlearn some things that are to me
Important facts in history.
They say there was no Ratchet small
That Washington or owned at all.
Which told the tale that in his youth
He was a champion Of the truth.
Why do reformers Of today
The lovely story sweep away,
Where George did fathers wrath defy,
Because he would not tell lie?
This grand example is too rare
To from our country's annals spare.

Far down in Dixie land

Before the trampling
Of the wine press there
And farthest in
the first beginnings; at
The very start OF things.
must have had
A birthday there:
bot whether when the bolls
OF cotton covered all the fields,
or when
The warm magnolias
filled the Southern nights
To trimming dawns,
know not. Only this
That seems the first,
we Weakened in the night
To see Our father
with his musket stand
Beside Our bed,
and kiss Us, every one,
And kiss my mother,
and he went away
leaving Us,
four scared faces in the dark
Until the mother hushed Us
all to sleep.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1901-03-02
Then there came

AT last a peace
Upon our mothers face.
We saw it in the whiteness
Of the moon
As one by one she dressed Us
in the night
And carried US across
the trampled fields
For miles and weary miles.
The colder dews
Fell in Our faces,
but the sunrise still
Would warm Us when we slept.
We woke, and cried
For hunger, and Our mother
whispered still
"Father is Just ahead.
And so we came
Where lines of soldiers
lay along a ridge,
And jagged burrows
scanned the trodden earth,
Where heaps Of horses
lay unburied yet,
And far within,
dark walls stood towering.

Two mounds, beside

Two mounds, beside
the Corinth battle field.
And the rough faces,
tear wet all around
And the long waiting,
till our mother came
Faded into dream
of bearded men,
With smiles and songs,
and stories marvellous,
We wakened to the
morning revsille,
And glided from the old
black mammy's tent
To watch the long lines
straggle from the fort
And find our white haired soldier.

Not the day

Not the day
When Baby, even when
my sister, died
Was drowned in tears
as when we went away
With black faced Nanny
to the far, far North,
And left our Soldiers
In the tattered frock
My mothers hands
had fastened on that night,
Now grown so small and faded,
so | came
To the dear Father
Of my college, mine
As soldier boys are mine.

Where skill and bravery are mahgnsd.

There was no apple on the head
Of that young boy Of ancient lore,
Nor any William Tell who bore,
With arrow swift into mid air,
The apple from his sons fair hair.

Each stood when the famed deed was done.

But when we wandered
over ridge and steep
To many a blue clad,
dark faced, watching line
At last we found
a white haired sentinel
Who heard our quest,
and waited, stammering,
Until my mother whispered /,
ale is dead -
And then they carried her
within the walls.

BATHS AS A WEAKNESS CURE.
Directions for Making Good Use of
Water and Towels.

Water and towels.
There is nothing for severe weari-
ness like the intelligent use of the
bathtub. Fill it two-thirds full OF
water as hot as you can stand. A
good way to determine how hot 1t
should be is to put the elbow down
into the water to test 1t. or course,
the fingers, or even the hand, form no
test at all. Pour tablespoonful of
ammonia into the water After about
eight minutes soaking in this, spray
or sponge the skin with cold water
quickly and rub dry with rough
towel
If sore or lame from overexertion,
| walking, or riding, or bicycling, follow
the bath with mild massage of the
muscles with a little vaseline. Then
take a half-hour nap, and you will be
all right.
Many persons believe that the daily
morning bath in water as cold as the
hydrant affords, if taken regularly, is
of the utmost Importance in maintain
ing sound and vigorous constitution
1t is a mistake to think that 1t Is un-
safe to take cold bath when the
body is heated In cases of complete

are perspiring freely, and are warm

best shape to step into water as cold

The fear of shock" is only a mean
ingless tradition. so far as healthy
persons are concerned. OF course, a
victim of heart disease will do well
to keep out of ice water, and old and
feeble folks must be careful. 1t is
said that no case OF iDtlamlnatory
rheumatism has ever developed where
the patient for series of years had
taken cold bath every day.
The right method is to first wet the
| head and neck and splash the should
ers with the cold water. Then 1t Is
safe for almost everybody to take the
! plunge. In warm weather one can
stay in the water a few minutes but
in wiHter the best plan Is to get out
as soon as possible. Colds said to

TaIRTY.MILE BICYCLE RACE.
Michael Third the Two Former
Having Mishaps.

Boston, June 1S.-Will Stinson won
the 3O-mile motor-paced race at
Charles River park yesterday after
noon. Johnnie Nelson was second
and Jimmy Michael was two miles in
the rear. Fully $4,000 people saw the
race and for q time it was thrilling.
Nelson went so fast that his motor
tandem simply slid from beneath his
pacemakers; they went down in a
heap; he fell himself, losing precious
seconds in changing to another wheel
and in picking up his second motor
tandem. But then he almost won the
race, taking place to Stinson. Stn-
son, too, had bad luck just when he
had the race apparently secure, his
motor tandem failing him, and he al
most lost all he gained from Nelson,
but he rode with comparative ease
into first money, which was worth
nearly $4,000.

against assaults by the chief. This
action OF the board grows out Of the
granting of an injunction Wednesday
by the district court restraining the
fire and police board from hearing
charges preferred against Bedell for
INSTRUMENTATION, maltreatment of
men and malfeasance and from dis
charging him from the force. The
supreme court is expected to pass on
