were two sisters. Adna was born in
the year 1912.
when Adna was Ii years of age his
mother died. Later his father mar
ried again. The second wife had ais
been married before, and was tn
mother of - children. 1t was a larg
school attendance furnished by this
household, and it was only by the
greatest economy and industry that
the children were reared and given an
educational start. Adna, at the age of
16, went to work on a farm in an ad-
joining county. Here his proficiency
was demonstrated in the corn field
and at the plow. What he did he did
well, and he accomplished a great deal
for man of his age.
Then, says the Chicago Chronicle,
came the days when Chaffee's first op-
Portunity opened TO him to join the
army, and this he improved, as did
likewise two of his brothers. Early
IN 81 he enlisted in the Sixth Uniteo
States cavalry. In bidding good-by to
his brothers and sisters in going to
the front he impressed upon them
the determination that under no cir,
cumstances would ne allow any sol.
dler to excel him in point of perfect
performance of his duty, and he
never has. Howard Chaffee, a broth.
er, who now resides in Trumbull
county, enlisted in the Sixth Ohio
cavalry. George Chaffee, another
brother, now living in Nashville,
Tenn, enlisted IN the Twenty-fifth
Illinois as a drummer boy in May,
1862, at the age of 10 years. Three
months later he was trans ferred to
the Fourteenth Ohio battery of fly-
ing artillery, and here served until
the close Of the war. He was wound
ed in the battle of Bull Run.
Gen. Chaffee, il will be reman-
bered, was appointed to take COM
mand of the army in the PhiIinninas
as successor to Gen. Macarthur Tba
appointment, of course, WAS made
by the late President Mckinley. Vbo

the right man for the place. So inn

be stormy, but Mrs. Green" insisted
on going, regardless of the weather.
By six o'clock in the evening the roads
were under several inches of mud, and
the rain was still pouring down. Mr..
Smith had his orders, however, and
obediently harnessed up his team and
drove his wife through the mud two
miles to the scholhouse.
The meeting was called to order and
the roll taken of the property owners
present Mr.. Smiths name was called.
He responded with a mild 'Here!"
His wife's name followed - Mrs.
Smith" No reply, although that
lady sat at her husbands side. She
would be Mrs. Green" or nobody.
Mr.. Smith was righteOusly furious.
At the close of the meeting he went to
the shed for his team and drove up to
the school door. His wife came out
to join him for the trip home. As she
gathered her skirts to step into the
rig Mr.. Smith inquired:
Have you seen Mrs. Smith around
here anywhere?"
His wife was somewhat taken aback
by this unexpected sally, but recoV-
cred herself and replied:
''No! l have seen no such person"
'Oh, excuse me- continued her hus-
band. Il was looking for my wife,
but if she isn't here I'll drive along
home"
He whipped up his horse and van
ished in the darkness, mud flying
from wheels and hoofs. His wife stood
for several moments looking in the
direction he had taken, too much
astOnished at such an unheard-of ex-
hibition of independence to say
word. When she came to herself the
teams had all driven away.
She had ample time to think sew
eral things as she trudged alone to-
ward home, through the mud, which
came over her ankles at every step,
and the steady dOwnpOur, which soon
soaked her to the skin.
When she finally reached home she
was too much exhausted to even as
sumo an injured expression. Her hus-
band was sleeping peacefully, and she
did not disturb him. She was Mrs.
Smith" from that day forth.

Hon versas Bu2aIs

When Purvis and Clerk were explor-
ing in Africa, north II the Zambsd,
they saw q largo hoh stalking q bu3-
falo bull and q calf. In his native
~ilds the lion is no particular hero,
while the African buffalo is one Of
the most dangerous of the wild
things. So Purvis and Clark watched.
Suddenly the bull charged, but the
lion sprang 10 one side for an in
stant, then leaped for the calf. Be-
fore the beast could strike, however,
the bufialo bull had turned again and
charged. The hon, on the defensive,
struck at his assailant, but the blow
had no effect on the enraged creature.
Oae of the long, cruel horns caught
the lion in the side and the creature,
weighing more than 400 pounds, was
ahrown ten feet into the air.-Chicago

Pines cigars. chewing tobacco
nobody saws a word against them but
the cigarette must go.
The merchant and the railroad men
and all the big employers have said it.
The Rock Island railroad recently

Why Because the men who manage
large business affairs have discovered
that a man who smokes cigarettes ia
