The Man Who Did the Work.

When the news that Col. John F. Wes- ton had been made commissary general of the army was announced a couple of weeks ago, a thrill of genuine gratifica- tion swept through the minds of the men who have sworn allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. no matter where they hap pen to be stationed for Jack Weston is the beau ideal of a soldier-brave warm hearted, cool-headed and modest, says a writer In the New York Herald.
 No more popular man could be named in all the rank and file. That he is able as well is shown by the fact that the commssary of our army in the Philip pines has been above reproach, and when the crisis in China arose the Pekin relief campaign, so suddenly begun, found the boys in blue with full haversaeks. The full need of credit for this preparedness has been credited to Jack Weston alike by foreign critics and the newspaper cor re respondents of all countries who were on the spot and could make just compari- sons.
 Until a few days ago he was acting commssary general of subsistence. He enjoyed neither the title nor the emolu- ments of the place, for former Commis- sary-General Eagan, being under suspen- sion, had not been retired: but that made no difference to Jack Weston. He did all the work of the commissary general for two years, signed himself Colonel" and drew only coloneps pay. He had been chief commissary of General Shaf- ters army in the Santiago campaign, and was made a brigadier general of volun- teers for his able services in Cuba

 | Finally he came to a garret. This was where the bell was rung when the Decla- ration was read, he was told. Then he wanted to know what had become of the bell They found 1t for him with the aid of their canes. It was hidden away be- heath a mass of peanut shells, orange peels, waste paper and other debris.
 No one seemed to H1ind what had been discovered except the Prince Of Wales- He was apparently appalled,. For the me- ment he forgot he was Brilliant he gag ed upon the poor cracked bell that nad rung at a nations birth, and then ne spoke the words tht made the Arner1can people see that they were neglecffuA
 'This old bell" he said, 'is the great est relic this republic has today. Instead of being here covered with this accumu- lated dirt, 1t should occupy the chief place of honor in this Hall of 1ndepen- enee It is 10 you what the Magma Charta is to England. It is cracked, but it is an inspiration. Believe me my friends, it affects me more than any thing I have been shown"
 That was the renaissance of the Liberty Bell No more dirt was thrown upon ft. During the civil war its name was used to stir the Union soldiery, and then when the Chicago Worlds Fair began it was taken there so that men and women from all parts of the world might see h Today the Liberty Bell is Americas greatest relic. and the Prince Of Wales, who will be King Edward the Seventh made It so

WALES AND OUR LIBERTY BELL
1t Was Rescued From a Dirt Heap at
 His Suggestion.

From the Philadelphia Press
 The Prince of Wales during his visit to Philadelphia in 1860, rescued the Liberty Bell from a dirt heap and raised 1t to that position winch it now occupies in the American peoples hearts.
 Some ironical citizen conceived the idea of taking the Prince to Independence Hall to view the treasures which are the most forcible reminder of Americas def to her mother country.
 The Prince saw the partraits of the men who stirred up the revolution, and he did not gaze listlessly at them, but made complimentary. comments upon them. He looked with interest on the manuscript of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, and he did aot finch when he had placed in his hands the swords of men

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of LaGrippe are Conveyed
 Through the Atmosphere.

No one can escape the La Grippe germ because when an epidemic of the disease is prevailing the air is laden with 1t.
 The reason every one does not have the disease at the same time is because the persons who are enjoying perfect health are able to successfully resist and throw off the infection, while those who for any reason are not in the best of health fall ready victims.
 The first symptoms are those of acute catarrh, resembling a hard cold, and if prompt treatment Is applied at this time 1t can easily be broken up. One of the best remedies at this stage is Stuart s Catarrh Tablets sold by druggists every where; and if taken freely, say one tab let every hour or two for two or three days, the danger of pneumonia and seri- ous complications will be averted.
 The Rev. L. E. Palmer, Baptist clergy man of Ceresco, Mich, makes a state- ment of interest to all catarrh and grip sufferers. He says: "Stuart's Catarrh Tablets have certainly been blessing to me. I have used them freely this fall and winter, and have found them a safe guard against La Grippe and catarrhal troubles, from which I have suffered for years. I feel that I can freely and con- scientiously recommend them."
 Persons who suffer from catarrh of the head and throat are very susceptible to La Grippe, and such will find a pleasant convenient and safe remedy in this new catarrh cure.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed entirely of harmless antiseptics, and may be used as freely as necessary, as they contain no cocaine, opiate or poisonous drug of any kind

 Fashion is peculiar. Racing stables lave done good deal to promote the ashionable aims of men who, 1t would seem, would scarcely need it. Take Pierre Lorillard, for instance. Not many years ago the Lorrillard fortune made he family conspicuous, but not fashiona- 'le. Yet the racing stable of Pierre and George Lorrillard brought them forward club circles, afterward in society. It was the same of Whitney, Withers and others. Mackay is a fine young fellow who has had all sorts of good fortune. He married Miss Duer. Thus, being well born and well married, racing stable carrying his colors to the post will make aim conspicuous man of fashion.

My dear Mamie Fish has had an enormous faculty for getting up ec- centric entertainments but the dance l speak of was the regular thing, done in the regular way. Now here is a grand opportunity for her. I would like to see a dinner dance where after deeilious dinner the men could smoke and the wo- men dance.

 Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont gave dance at Sherry's, and Sherry endeavored very successfully to turn his rooms into a Japanese tea garden. What a lot of money is expended every season in trying to make one thing look like another. The Mackays spent a fortune last week, and the Belmonts this. We'll it has the mer- it of causing some people to spend 1t who otherwise would employ it to make more. This attempt to convert an occi- dental twentieth century room into an Oriental any century tea garden was success artistically, and the only incon- gruous feature was the occidental cos tunes and manners. It looked as though a European horde of well-gowned and well-groomed people had taken posses sion of a Japanese palace. One of the prettiest features were the small houses in the garden presided over by Miss Jay and Mrs. Belmont, to which the guests of the evening paid visits.
