to strike the hours at Wells Cathedral with
their battle axes. In the celebrated clock
at Strasburg, among a host of figures. a

the hour on the bell using human bone
for the purpose. The real work of striking

He removed the cap and dropped a coal

terrific explosion. The soldier, however,
was not torn to pieces although badly
wounded. AT the time a company cook

of the shell struck the kettle. My cousin,

Andrew Jackson as a Soldier.

Of all the careers in our army there is
no parallel to that of Jackson. He treat.
ed his militia with the utmost harshness,
but they worshiped him and rendered such
service for him as no other General ever
got out of them. He was the terror of
his superiors in Washington, his only idea
of discipline being the enforcement of his
own will against those above him as well
as those under him; but he had such a
hold on the people by reason of his
strength of character, his integrity. and
his great deeds, that no one dared to call
him to account for any of his acts. His
fighting was always against Indians. ey-

Orleans; the theater of this campaign was

voyage.
1t was then that / learned something
of the history of the mad mans life.
Dennis Baxter, a passenger aboard the
Albatross, stated that he had been on the
track of Bruce for years, and had finally
got track of him in San Francisco and
followed him on board the vessel.
1t appeared that Bruce had been i'm
plicated in u great banking swindle in
Melbourne some years before, but had
escaped and fled to America with his i'll
gotten gains. Baxter, a well-known
Australian detective, had been employed
to hunt the miscreant down.

escaped from his keepers and disap-
peared.

obscure South American city:

DANGER in SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it was
never intended for a medicine, and peo-
pie who use it as such will some day re-
greet it.
We refer to the common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach q habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dam
ger; moreover, the soda only gives tenn
porary relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as mechanical irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels,
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated III the intestines, causing death by
inflammation or peritonitis
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the SAT-
est and surest cure for sour stomach (acid
dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold
by druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large 2O-grain lozenges, very pleasant to
taste, and contain the natural acids, pep
tones, and digestive elements essential TO
good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment
sour, and poison the blood and nervous
system.
DIR. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in MI
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in
crease fiesh and strengthen the action of
the heart and liver. They are not n ca
thartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except can

In considering the case, Justice Barnard
found that majority of the appellate
courts of the several States had held that
after the pension money had reached the
hands of the pensioner, it was no longer
exempt, but might be the subject of at
tachment and garnishment. Justice Bar
nard found, also, that a number of State
Legislatures, recognizing the propriety of
exempting such pension from legal proc
ess for debt, had passed statutes to that
effect. He further found that the courts
of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Iowa
had construed the said section of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States in such
manner as to exempt pensions from at
tachment, after they were actually re-
ceived by the pensioner and TO exempt
property bought wholly with pension
money, so long as it could be traced.
Justice Barnard found the question to
be new in the District of Columbia, but
this being a Federal Statute, to be con-
strued by a Federal Court, in Federal
District, he felt bound to give it lib
eral construction in favor of the Federal
soldier, the object of the Governments
bounty; and he therefore decided that the
pension money itself was exempt from
