ONE o. WELLINGToN's OFFICERS
On good authority soldiers like best to
be Differed by gentlemen; but they
have their choice Of type. OF the
right kind was General Crawford the
leader Of the light division.
An incident In his career during one
of the Wellington wars shows him
to have been rich in that justice which
commands respect from equals and
loyalty from interiors; in a word, he
kept discipline without regard to rank.
His division was crossing ford on
one Of the Spanish marches, and an
officer, to keep his breches dry, rode
through on a soldiers back. Crawford
observed the thing with disgust. and in
a minute was splashing through the
water afte% them both.
Put hin, down, sir!" he shouted.
Put him down! I desire you to put
that officer down Instantly"
The solder dropped his burden and
went on.
Return back, sir" Crawford said to
the officer, "and go through the water
like the others. I will not allow my Of
flcers to tide upon the mems backs
through the rivers; all must take their
share alike here."-Youth's Companion.

MANUFACTURE OF COTTON.

American Opportunity Good While
Raw Material Continues to Cross
the Ocean.
The Hon. D. A. Tompkins, who is
now a member Of the United Stetes In
dustrial commission, and who address,
ed the New England Cotton Spinners
association the other day, does not
claim to be a strikingly prepossessing
man. His interest in cotton spinning Is
better known than his face, and when
about three years ago he quietly arriV-
ed one day in Providence. Rhode Is
land, where he was to attend business
mans banquet, he did not make HIM
self known to the committee. When
the hour for the banquet arrived
one of the most motel business
men of Providence became much
interested in rural looking parsonage
who sat on his right. AS the speeches
progressed, the stranger made some
soto voce remarks dissenting from the
tone of the speakers. They declared
that the cotton manufacturing busi-
ness had been overdone In America;
that the Southern mills had broken the
market; and that the time was coming
when the fierce competition Of South
ern mills would leave the Northern
mills in ruins. At last the stranger
could stand it no longer, and blurted
out:
IF there is any one here who wants
to sell his factory stock at 20 per cent.
off, I will take him up?"
This direct challenge to the despond-
ent speakers drew attention to Mr..
Tompkins. To them he said in sub
stance:
"As long as bale Of cotton has to
cross the ocean to find man to manu-
facture 1t, there is no such thing as
competition of Southern mills with
those of the North. New England has
never done anything more than play
about on the edges Of the possibilities.
The seat Of manufacture Is still abroad
and what we of the North and South
together have done does not cut fig
ure. There is room for every mill that
can be erected in the South. There are
greater possibilities than ever before
the mills of New England. If I had one
million dollars, I would not hesitate to
invest 1t right here in Providence, full
ly convinced that would make good
investment. I say this as a Southern
man. I am astonished that any New
Englander should be respondent under
such circumstances, 1t can be manufac-
tured at profit here"
Before the night was over Provi-
dence capitalists had pressed upon Mr..
Tompkins offers Of money to build
mills North, South. East and West.
Said Senator Aldrich:
IT never appreciated our position
more than I do now. We want more

it. It grew on me as the war progressed
and I finally came to the conclusion
that was a born soldier, a military
genius, leader. So when President
Mckinley announced that he would ap-
point several brigadier-generals
thought he almost singled me out as
one of them. consulted with some Of
my friends, and they thought the pres
ident must be limiting on me to come
to the front and get some shoulder
straps. I could hear the drums and
see Old Glory floating everywhere, and
I was wild to be a soldier and ride a
splendid horse over the bloody ground.
"At last could stand it no longer. I
went to Washington to see the presi-
dent. He at once agreed to an audi
ence with me. I was so ashamed to
think had not come sooner to offer
my services to the country in peril. I
was afraid the president would not
like 1t. But don't think ever saw
a better pleased man In my life, and
I have seen some few fellows in a cap
ital good humor in my time.
"Such a cordial grasp Of the hand and
such a kindly reception I don't think
I ever had from a man that did not
want an office from me. I thought he
had OWNED my intentions and was de-
lighted to know that 1 had come out to
serve my country in my natural capac-
ity-war. He must have noticed my
military appearance; but there was
nothing stiff or formal in his reception.
He met me just like the cheerful boy
he was rs years before in congress.
But 1t did not break through my mil
itary dignity. AS soon as entered the
room reared back and assumed a mil

long in telling him wanted to be made
a brigadier-general, so that I could lead
my brave Tennessee troops to the
front. I will never forget the smile he
gave me and the expression Of extreme
delight that came into his eye when he
put his hand on my shoulder like a
father and said, in voice Of the great
est solicitation:

President Wolfe, of the National Shoe

that he has served term in an Indiana

blackmailed out of thousands Of dol

his necessity a means Of extortion and
oppression. AS Mr.. Wolfe's prosperity
has increased. threats Of exposure have
multiplied, and have at last become in
tolerable.
knowing all the facts and as his
attorney, I have advised him to make
this statement to the public. He knows
that the world exacts further penalty
from those 1t has punished, but he au-
thorizes this statement that he may
be forever a free man."
Mr. Wolfe was living at Spencer, In
diana, at the time the offence was COM
mitted. He became involved In quar-
rel with a friend, and in an encounter
which followed the latter was worsted.
Wolfe was arrested and while In jail
attempted to escape, making an as
sault upon the jailer. For this as
sault he was indicted and sentenced to
five years in prison which he served,
gaining all the time allowed by law by
good conduct.
The secret of Mr.. Wolfes early life

a surprise. Mr.. Wolfe is one of the

SAND CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

One Teaspoonful Taken at Night
Does the Business, Says Mr.. Bybee.
William Bybee, a pioneer Of Jackson
vile, has eaten sand for his health the
past 20 years and seems to thrive on 1t.
He thinks sand Is the only medicine In
the world for stomach troubles, and is
not at all backward about recommend
ing it to his friends who are suffering
from dyspepsia or any other affection
Of the digestive organs.
II was nearly dead from dyspepsia
twenty years ago and had lost all faith
in medicine" said Mr.. Bybee yester-
day, when Mrs. Winner, the wife Of a
miner on the Applegate river in south
ern Oregon, recommended sand. My
body was paralyzed below the breast,
and I was willing to take chances on
anything. I began by swallowing a
teaspoonful of dry sand on going to bed
at night, and soon noticed that I slept
better than for years, though my appe-
tite did not increase for few weeks. I
kept OIl SWdllO"lHS the SdllQ iS6uie1i :

ry a vial of dry sand about with me
as a tonic. When I happen to over
eat or feel the need of a cathartic, I
put spoonful Of sand on my tongue
and assist it down my throat with a
swallow Of water. Sand Is the only
medicine have taken since 1881, al
though previously my pockets were al
ways full of powders and liquids and
my doctor and drug bills were large"
How the sand cure originated Mr.. By
bee does not know, but he thinks it
evolved from the practice of some peo-
pie in the Southern states, who swal-
lowed small bits of gravel as reme-
dy for chills and fever. 1.-The particles

THE BANNER CITY OF ANARCHISTS
Five Hundred Reds Out of a Tetal
Population of 1000.

Five Hundred Reds Out of a Tstal
Population of 1000.
Spring Valley, ILL.,, is the banner an
archist city of the United States. With
a population Of 1000, it has 500 people
who are anarchists. That means that
one out Of every IA Of its population is
an anarchist, or between Z and 8 per
cent. No city in the United States
can show anything like this proportion
of the followers Of the red flag, and
1t is doubtful If any city in the world
can.
1t Is quite true that there are other
American cities that contain more an
archists than Spring Valley. Chicago,
for instance, has 5000, according to
Capt. Schuettler, who has the most ac-
curate knowledge of this subject of any
another anarchist centre, and has 1,500
dormant Czolgoszes. Patterson, N. j.,
Is generally regarded as a veritable
hotbed of anarchy, and with good
cause Yet Paterson has only 1000 an
archists.
1t is only when one comes to compare
the population of these cities with the
number of anarchists they contain that
the disproportion that exists between
them and Spring Valley is made mani
fest. Chicago, for instance, with its
2,0OO,00 Of inhabitants. can only reck-
on three-twentieths Of 1 per cent. as
anarchists. If 1t had the same propor-
tion as Spring Valley has, 1t would
have 145,000 disciples Of the red. Pitts
burg has a population of 321,000 souls,
and it's anarchists are a trif1e less than
one-half Of one per cent. Of the whole.
If 1t had the same proportion as Spring
Valley it would contain $4,000. Pater-
son, with a population of 105,000, has a
fraction less than per cent. Of anar-
chists. Had it as many in proportion
as Spring Valley 1t would contain $500.
In all these cities, therefore, the pro-
portion of anarchists to the whole is
so insignificant that they have ceased to
be an object of dread. In Spring Vail
ley the case is entirely different. They
are numerically so strong as to be q
cause Of constant apprehension, and
they are a factor in the city's popula-
ton that must be constantly reckoned
with.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
