POWER OF ONE SMALL WORD.


 On the morning of March 13, 1899, news of special import from the Philip pines went coursing through the nation. In certain half-hours' fighting thirty seven volunteers had been shot-killed and wounded. Scattered through six different states that morning nine men read the name of a college classmate in the list, and, for the first time in all their lives, grew serious. The bearer of the name was sent on sick leave to his home in Pittsburg q medal for special bravery on his cot, and bullet in his head.
 One morning I walked into the sick soldiers room and found him-sleep- ing. For an hour he lay thus, then turned on his elbow and awoke-delir- ious. "Why-w-w-why! Shorty is that you? D-d-did we score? Did that scheme work ?@I-I'm hurt. T-take out time Timel There were seven hundred Scrubs-I mean Philli-Phillis- panios in the rush-line. When the game began they meant to murder us.

My headi-I think we-Did we score?-I think-I know I got there just in t-time." and with his teeth set in the old way, and that old smile of tri- umph on his face. he fell back on the pillows-dead. At the funeral the pall- bearers were his nine classmates.
 That night we tried to have little supper at the Seventh avenue hotel. We sat down, but by some mismanage- ment ten plates were laid instead of nine. We tried to talk: we tried to eat; but somehow we couldn't. The walters brought the second course. We tried again: it was no use. Just then man passed down the corridor outside to- ward the elevator. The second hush had fallen on us when there came the single clamation-"Downr' With one accord we looked into each others filling eyes. Then our visions focused on-Jim Townsend's empty chair. We arose in silence and left the room There are no joys so keen as those which We ten men had known through four years; there is no sorrow so keen as that which we nine knew that night Ladies Home Journal.

SNAKE LOVED MUSIC.
Showed Great Rapture Over One of
 Chopin's Nocturnes.
Waltz Songs and RaEt1ae, or Any thing Lively and Noisy, FsepeIIed the Reptilinn Critic-Charmed
 by Low Notes.

"URring our first year in Colorado,'' ,'' said the ex-ranchman's wife to New York Sun reporter, my daughter and myself were desperately lonesome, and for the girls sake more than for my own I urged my husband to try his utmost and get piano brought there. A Colarado ranch was then much fur ther from any point of civilization than it is to-day, and for 8 long time the feat seemed hopeless, but at last, after long and tedious effort, an instru- ment found it's way to our wilderness.
 My daughter had a fairly good mu- sical education before we went to the ranch, and after the arrival of the piano she spent all her leisure time at it. One neevening., a about two weeks after it came, she had spent couple of hours practicing some of Chopin's waltzes; then she struck into the nocturnes. Chopin is my favorite among the com posers. While I sat there listening intently, my elbow resting on table beside me and my head on my hand, felt myself impelledi to go to the win dow and look out. I had heard no sound, everything was as still asdeath. but there was just a consciousness that something was outside.
 T moved cautiously, peered out slowly, and drew suddenly back. A huge snake was coiled up close under the window. It's body was perfectly still, it's head poised in listening att titude, and swaying slightly from side to side, as if in rhythmic movement with the music. did not see this all at once. I took in the situation after I returned to the window and stood there for several minutes watching the creature out of range of his eye,

As GOOD AS A SEA SERPENT.
4 Large Meteorite Falls at Seaside Summer Resort and Relieves
 the A1onotony.

The sea serpent has failed to put in his annual appearance at the oast re- sorts this summer, but substitute has been found, says an eastern ex- change. Atlantic City was startled the other day when an unusually loud clap of thunder, accompanied by a binding flash of lightning and slight trembling of the earth, occurred shortly after four o'clock. At first it was thought that the bolt had struck a large building, but this was found to be incorrect.
 Later it was learned that a large meteofite weighing nearlybthree tons had fallen upon Chelsea Heights, al- most mile north of Columbia avenue and across the Beach thoroughfare. It had fallen Ipon a piece of waste land and had buried itself to a depth of nearly ten feet in the soil. The shape of the mass of mineral matter from space is somewhat irregular, though resembling to a slight degree an egg fattened upon one side, with a corresponding protuberance upon the other. It's color is blackish gray, streaked with bright scintillating lines, which run irregularly across the upper portion. The presence of sul- phur was observed from the smell which permeated the air for several feet around it.
 All day long crowds went over to gaze upon this strange visitor from other worlds. It is said that local scientist has communicated with the Smithsonian institution in Washing ton as to what shall be done with the meteorite

A CERTAIN CURE FOR DYSEN-
 TERRY AND DIARRHOEA.

"Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making long bi- cycle trip" says r. l.. Taylor of New Albany, Bradford county, Pa. II was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when Editor Ward of the Laceyville Messen- ger suggested that I take dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bot tie and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt any i'll effect Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought q bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me-" Sold by all druggists.

from the music. But no; don't be- the spell. The creature seemed dazed, |sentranced, fascinadedl
 After watching him for time I went quietly over to my daughter and without startling her by so much as hint of nay strange discovery, I asked her to desist for few mo- merrtS from the minor and semi weird notes she was playing and strike into one or two lively airs. She did so, while I returned and watched the reptile.
 After a couple of minutes of the rattling music the snake began to grow restive. It reared it's head, beat it from side to side, and showed other symptoms of restlessness and anger. The music kept on; the snake began to writhe and shiver, as if in distress; finally it uncoiled and glided away out of sight in the un- derbrush.
 When told my discovery to the male portion of the family they were all ready to watch for that snake and kill him at the first opportunity. But
 forbade that; I desired to make further study of his love of music, and did so. I prepared my daugh- ter to look for his advent again, and his snakeship did not disappoint us. Again and again we watched him creep to his musical rendezvous, and again and again we tested the quail ity of his musical tastes. We proved beyond the shadow of doubt that low, sweet music, minor, sad or weird notes fascinated that snake, and that anything lively or noisy re- pelled him.
 q grew positively interested in the study and even found myself be- slowing sort of human pity on the reptile. But it resulted in no good, for the other members of the family did not share my feelings, and must finish my story by saying that the creature's love for Chopin's nocturnes cost hir4 his life during one of his visits under our window.''

WATERVILLE DAILY TALK

 SOON DEPART.

Cool Weather Has Disheartening
 About the Little Camp to Comment Upon-Professor Chatfield Enters Conservatory of Music.
 These cool nights have placed a damper on the fortune telling business ill this busy little suburb and May Ona's gypsy tent' in the midst of q growth of artificial shrubbery looks almost as wilted and forlorn as the surrounding brush piles. May Ona, as she is commonly known. although this is only an assumed name, has increas- ed her weird business very profitably during the past summer and the Sheck- els have poured into her curious purse with rapidity most pleasing to .'her majesty The history of this mysterf- ous woman is unknown yet she appears to be able to tell without much hesi- tancy, the history of her patrons past, present and future. With her quar- ter will talk some. half dollar more and dollar accomplishes wonders. Her favorite patrons are young ladies from the city and of course they re- turn simply astonished and tell other friends This sort of perpetual ad- vertising has brought continual stream of visitors all summer and the season has been a prosperous one. Now that the cool evenings have appeared business at the little gypsy camp is disappearing and some say that May Ona intends to depart for winter quart CTS in the south very soon. Her camp has served to furnish somewhat of 9 diversity in the life of the village and relieved the monotony on many .oc- caSionS.

Chatfield, who has been instructor in music in the Western Normal college for the past three years has resigned and left here this morning to take special course in the New England conservatory of music at Boston.

UNENvIABLE DISTINCTION.
DissracefuI and nepIorabIes Deatk of the Worst Defeated General
 of Modern Times.

Gen. Oreste Baratieri, who died in the Austrian Tyrol recently, at the age of 60 years, achieved five years ago last spring the distinction of being the worst defeated general of modern times, reports the New York Mail and Express. He was the commander in chief of the iil-fated Italian Abyssin- ian expedition. With an army of about 44,O0O men unGsr him at the beginning of the figthing Baratieri was utterly routed, and the greater part of his force killed or captured, by the brave and mobile Shoans, who were fighting for their independence. He had the misfortune to escape to the coast him. self, and reached there under the i'm putation of having abandoned his gen erals, Albertone and Dabormida, in a cowardly manner. A military tri- bunal of six generals acquitted him of criminal intention or penal responsi- bility, but they did not attempt to clear him of the charge of tactical error, and they deplored ine their verdict the fact that the command of the Italian troops had been '.confided to an incompetent leader.''
 Baratieri, a native of Austria, had been one of Garibaldi's red-shirts, with Crispi, and had been favored by the powers that were. He was brave at Marsafa, and if he had died at Adowa leading his men, IS Dabormida did, he might have saved hys reputation, not as a general, but as a figlher As it was, he died in disgrace.
