grass as though he had a nibble
Once one of the boys stepped up and
said:
What are you fishing for?'
He got no answer. All Cinch did
was to turn a pair of hollow ewes OF
him and then resume his fishing
After that a gang used to go out
and watch Cinch every afternoon
Every once in awhile one of the bows
would saunter out and say:
What are you fishing for, Cinch ?

the news got to the officers that Cinch
was going fast. They heard about
his fishing in the fields and one day
the surgeon-major went out and wit.

stepped up and, touching Cinch on the
shoulder, said:
Cinch, we think your health de.

so we have procured an honorable dis.
charge for you. Lere it is and he
handed Cinch the papers.
Cinch dropped his fishing pole and
grabbed the papers. He gave one look
at them, and when he saw thew were

CINCH WAS NO FOOL.
His Imitation of Crazy Man Was
a Work of Art.
when the Proper Time Came He Told
the Regiment All About His
Deep-LaId scheme and As
tORIshed the Entire Camp.

Some young men who enlisted dur
ing the war with Spain but never saw
any active service were talking oven
their days in uniform one night last
week, says the New York Sun, and
told interesting stories of camp life
The young man who had been hos
pital steward told this story:
"a month in our camp in Georgia
was enough to drive a man to despair,
for not only was it hot, but every day
increased our belief that the govern
ment had no intention of giving us a
chance to get into action or to let
us go back to our homes. 1t was a
mighty tough predicament for a lot
of young men who had left business
and everything else in a burst of pa.
triotic enthusiasm, and expected to
get into a scrap in short order. The
men worked every wire they could &c
get their discharges, but it was at a
time when the man with pull
couldn't get any more than the man
without a friend.
LAS a hospital steward I used to
hear good deal about the health of
the regiment from the surgeons, and
OhS uay was very muCn SURPRISED
to hear one of them say that he was
afraid Cinch, of company c, was GO
ing to lose his mind. 1 knew Cinch
as big, good-natured fellow, who
tried to get discharge as soon as
he learned that we were not going
to have fight. When he failed he
became sullen and moody. The more
we watched him the more convinced
we became that something was wrong
with him. Every time we came round
we found him mumbling to himself,
and one day a crowd of us found him
seated on stump in the middle OF
a big clover field, holding in front OF
him long pole, attached to which
was piece of cord on the end OF
which was pin bent to resemble a
fishhook. He would drop the hook
into the long grass and let it stay
there for time. Then he would
make cast and when the hook fell
would sit and watch the end of hia
line intently. Every once in awhile
he would jerk the line out Of the

their faces. Everybody impsrts to his
handwriting certain individuality,
a certain mannerism, which serves
to identify the writer. His style Of
pennlanship Is as much part of his
personality as is his tone OF voice or
his manner of walking. 1t is very
clearly evident that there is direct
relationship between the writing and
the writer; and a study of this in
teresting subject reveals the fact that
every popularity of handwriting has
a particularly significance and indi-
Gates a corresponding trait or Pc
culiarity in the writer. In other
words, a PERSONS character is revealed
in his Observation-Disclosures Howard,

Potash SOAP for Ey. C,,,,,.

Constant wearers of eyeglasses,

the dimming of the glasses upon en-
tering a warm room from a cooler
place. 1t will greatly interest them
to know that this evil can be obv;.
ated by rubbing the glasses with soft
SOAP. All that is necessary is to rub
every morning or before going out a
little so-called green soap (washinR
soap, potash soap) over the whole sur.
face of the glass, polishing it until it
is bright again. The preparations,
"Gasolin" and "Oculustra," offered for
the same purpose at high prices, are

ANDER AREA aged SO years, andB
months, a native OF North Carroll
ma.
The deceased was a brother OF tie
late w. F. Area, of this place, resided
here a number of years. The Crowley
Signal speaking of his death says:
Alexander Area, whose funeral oc-
Cured Tuesday, deserves more than
a passing notice. Rev. D. +.
Wilkinson, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of this city, who OBLIGATED at
the funeral, possessed himself of in
formation concerning the deceased,
that is not generally known.
The deceased IA a comparative
stranger of Crowley.
Mr.. Area was, in many respects, q
remarkable man. Had he lived q
few months longer he would have
been ninety years old. He was an
extensive traveller, having visited
nearly every country in the world.
He was the last survivor in the
United States, of the Mexican war.
He was an old newspaper nan and
printed the first laws that gorvened
the State of Texas.
While Mr.. Area was always regard
ed as an honest, moral man, he did
not unite with the church until a few
weeks prior to his death. He was
baptized by a Methodist minister, but
united with the Presbyterian Church.
