our goodbye, but let me know Good
byei One last embraced"
Promptly the order came and my
master shouldered me and marched to
the train In a few hours we were at
our destination and then knew what
war meant
One night, my master was alone in
his tent and he talked aloud to him
SELF and re-read one of the numerous
letters that came almost daily.
Tom Meredith has enlisted and
hear he will be in Virginia-his post
has been ASST gned him-he wears a
uniform but he doesn't compare with
my Ned Sol Meredith was unsuc-
cessful-he has learned that his wealth
cannot buy love I must be wary of
hfm-he is a dangerous boy and
wouldn't hesitate to commit any deed
through jealousy"
My young master was visib1y dis
turbed.
A few days later, sure enough, here
came Mr.. Meredith, whom I remen-
bered as handling me quite contempt
in Aurora. He looked very handsome
in his regimentals, but his eyes were
cruel and hard under his gold-laced
cap
An enga cement, fierce and hot, took
place as the sun fell on that long not
day in July and it resulted in a more
serious attack in the morning. The
slain and wounded were left on the
field one gallant regiment moved
forward. and my dear master was one
of the wounded With me cIasped in
his hand, he murmured in his deIir-
ium, Mamie Nanniei''
In the confusion incidental to a bat
tie, Lieutenant Meredith had managed
to slip back and hurriedly glanced on
the poor fellows who were lately so
full OF life and action At last he saw
my master Such look of hatred as
came over his face may 1 never again
see
All, there you arel Die, you VII
lain, and then your pretty Nan will
be more likely to come to my terms,''
With these words he plunged knife
in the flesh of my master How 1
cursed myself for my inanimate condi-
tom FHnging the knife from him he
stole among the dead like the coward
he was.
My master was dead, I knew. as he
became quiet after that one shrek of
agony.
When the ambulance corps came, his
body was taken to the dead-house. bit
some signs of life were observable and
he was removed to the hospital

my name on it on a silver pIate2' he

Cutting Down tho Army.

The initial step has been taken by
the War department toward the reduc-
ton Of the force of regulars in the
Philippines to 10000 Orders We're ca
bled General Macarthur to send to the
United States the Fourteenth, Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-third regiments OF
infantry, Fourth cavalry, Twenty
ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second and
Thirty-third companies of coast artil-
lery and the First, Eighth, Tenth,
Twelfth and Thirteenth batteries of
field artillery. The homeward move
ment of these troops can not be begun
until after the volunteers have been re
turned At present it is believed that
40 900 men will be enough for the Phil
ipp1neS- The manner in which the
troops shall be distributed among the
different arms of the service is fol-
lows: Cavalry, 1870 men; artillery,
coast and field, $500, and 38,529 in
fantrymen- The total enlisted strength
will be 1904 men, The army, includ-
ing officers, will aggregate about $4,000

Cut flowers, though universally en-
ployed, are seldom treated as they
ought to be. so here are a few hints
for those who like to keep their bios
SONS fresh as long as possible
First of all, they should be put into
some large receptacle and sprinkled
freely with water all over Only after
this preliminary operation it is wise to
transfer them to the several pots they
are to occupy They ought to be taken
the first day the tip of the stem then
being cut off. and fresh water, flow
ing from a tap, should be allowed to
run over the stalks, holding the flow
ers head downward, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
Finally, and herein lies the principal
secret of success, the water in the
vases may be '-doctored'' in this man
ner. Mix thoroughly together table
spoonful OF finely shredded yellow
soap enough chloride of sodium to
cover a FORM and half pint of water
Put in a portion of this mixture into
every receptacle and fill in the usual
way
A pinch of borax in each one will
preserve all the coloring of the most
brilliant flowers, and by renewing the
supply of the above solution every two
or three days the flowers will last for
couple of weeks or more Palms and
all foliage plants must be carefully
but moderately watered. washed, put
| outside daily for bath of air and sun
| shine and must not be stood in
| draughty places.

Five Talents.

The last man to go for a helping
hand for any new undertaking is the
man who has plenty of time on his
hands 1t is the man and woman who
are doing most who are always willing

The people who are tired of life are
not those who work, but those who
are too proud or too lazy to do SO.
Many of the rich are morbidly rest

MRS. WARTIME WINS.
Supreme Court Decides That Kyle and
Shove Cannot Recover.

Attorney Charles e. Howard was
feeling exceedingly well last Satur-
day morning all day, in fact, over
having received news from the Su-
#preme Court that two cases in
which he was interested, were both
decided favorably to the side which
he represented. The first was the
case of Parsons VS.. Vining, men
toned In another column. The sec
sond was the case OF e. e. Shove vs..
Ella j. MARITIME, in which case
Messrs. Somerville & Olsen were
associated with Bowers & Howard.
The latter case was twice tried in
the district court, Judge Webber
granting a new trial after the first
jury brought in a verdict favorable
to Mrs. MARITIME In the second
trial the jury did likewise, and
Judge Weber refused tosset aside
the Verdictand grant a new trial,
and from this order an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court. The
case was argued and submitted
about two weeks ago, and last Fri
day the Supreme Court through
Justice Start, handed down the de-
cision affirming the order of Judge
Weber.
Readers of this paper will remem-
Der that Shove bought a note of the
Marines from one J +. Kyle, who.
was in partnership with MARITIME at
Cottonwood at one time. Kyle ana
MARITIME were both travelling men,
When it was decided to wind up the
business MARITIME took the stock, a
stipulation being that commissions.
due MARITIME from Kyle-they were.
both travelling for the same house
were to be applied on a note which
MARITIME gave Kyle in payment for
his share Of the stock. After Mar
tine died Kyle disputed this, and
sued for the full amount of the note,
through Shove. Mrs MARITIME set
up the commissions as defense,
and the two juries allowed thcsfuli
amount. cutting the note down from
over $500 to a little over So and
accrued interest. The Supreme
Court says:
4. In an action broug ght upon promis-
.sary notes wherein the defense alleged
was a valid agreement to endorse upon
one Of said notes certain sum of mon
ey, it is held that the verdict, in effect
sustaining this defence, was supported
by the evidence.
2. Certain assignments Of error, re-
lating to rulings of the court during
the trial, considered and disposed Of.
