but that when & man stole chairs from church on Sunday with people looking at him, 1t was adding insult to audacious- ness" If Brother Harney had gone slippin' around in the night and got them cheers" he explained, nobody would have said nothin about it.
 There was great deal more similar testimony. At the close of the States evidence Judge Hockaday decided that there was no proof that the defendant stole the chairs. In fact the judge Cou- tinued, it seemed to be customary for him to take off one chair every time he was turned out of the church. As nobody complained of that and as he had as much right to take off both as one. that certainly showed that he had exercised ownership over them witIl the knowledge and consent of all parties
 Thus Hamp got both his freedom and his chairs. But this did not satisfy him. The next morning he was in court appeal- ing to Judge Hockaday to make the mig gers quit a-slanderin' him Judge Heck- aday told him courts could grant injunc- tons to prevent some things, but that no power on earth could shut a nfsgers mouth, and Hamp had to be satisfied with the possession of his chairs. which, so far as known, he reposes in to this day.

 Falkner Confederate Home.
 At the last State Reunion a resolution was introduced and referred to the Leg islative Committee in reference to the erection and maintenance of a Soldiers Home, by State appropriation The Com mittee appointed by order of our Conven- tion to look after the interests of the Confederate soldiers deemed the time un- propitious for the introduction of a bill for this purpose, therefore no movement was made in this direction.
 Then it was that Comrade Jeff Falk- ner, realizing that there must be no fur ther delay in caring for the poor, the blind and helpless Veteran, conceived the idea of starting a Home by popular sub scription. The first subscription was for ty acres of land at Mountain Creek, the gift of Captain FalkneF himself. h. spired by a mighty love for his old com rades, Captain Falkner was determined that the indigent the maimed. the blind old soldier should not die in the Poor House. Imbued with this lofty idea Cap tain Falkner at once formulated and ex- ecuted his plans for the erection of Confederate Home, home where there | would be surcease of sorrow for the | bruised and battered old heroes, a home | where there would be no anxiety for to- morrow's bread, q restful. peaceful home | where these poor. worn and wasted braves mlght nurse their glorious wounds, and | abide in quetude and peace the re- mainder of their days.

Camps have paid all their federation
 that is. entitled to representation at fed eration and State reunions. FourteeI Camps are in arrears for 1902, seven fol
 the years 1901 and 1902, and thirty-eigh for series of years; quite a numbei
 under this last enumeration have paic nothing. not even their membership fee The fourteen Camps in arrears for 190:
 have never before been delinquent. I as. sume, therefore, that their arrearages gre due entirely to dilitoriness in remitting and report them as active. but under ouI Constitution not entitled to a vote in this Convention. This gives seventy-twc Camps in fellowship with this Division fifty-eight of which are entitled to Eep- resentation-entitled to 196 delegates.
 "A summary is as follows: Fifty-eight Camps have paid all federation dues, l. Camps due per capita for 1902, Camps due per capita for 1901 and 1902, 3S Camps due per capita for several years, total IF Camps.
 "In order that every Camp in this Di. vision may be, reinstated, I have been authorized to compromise all back dues on most liberal terms. Clearly a misun- standing must exist as to what these dues are and to what purposes they are ap- piled.
 First, membership fee of g to be paid once only-this to accompany the ap- plication for membership in the federa- ton.
 Second, A per capita tax of 10 cents per annum for each active member in good standing-10 cents each year for each member in good standing. This tax is to be paid on or before the first day of April fin many instances. however, the payments are made at the general re- unions. Both of these dues are applied exclusively to federation purposes and should be remitted to General George Moorman, New Orleans, La, q am re- quested by General Moorman to ask that all remittances be made by postal or ex- press money orders)
 The assessment of S25 for each Brigade. S1OO in all for the expenses of the Divis- ion is independent of the above dues. The sum collected from this assessment is applied to purchase of stationery. stamps, printing, badges for sponsors and maids of honor, and other incidentals of the fed efatiOn and State reunions. Ths amount derived from this source, materially be- low the assessment, has not been ade quate for the actual expenses. and had rot the Louisville and Nashville Railroad generously paid all printing and stamp bills for the Dallas reunion there would rot have been funds sufficient in hands Of the Division Treasurer tS have pur- chased even the stamps to distribute the order for this reunion.
 Object of Organization.
 Every Camp should appoint an Histo- rian whose duty 1t shall be TO encourage the writing by participants therein. of accounts, narratives. memoirs and hls- tories of battles. episodes and occur rences of the war between the States. Many of our Camps bear the name of dead comrade. presumably the name of one who was conspicuous for gallant and service. write up this mans record, or take the history of the com panies enlisted in your home County,

children's Prayer Ends Divorce Suit.

 A divorce suit ended suddenly in court Stonebraker was an applicant for a di- vorce from Michael Stonebraker. As the applicant was about to take the witness stand her two children. aged 9 and years, knelt down and prayed.
 After repeating the Lords prayer in unison, they added: May the good Lord grant that our mother will come back to us and remove the dagger from our hearts" This stopped the trial, and the mother withdrew the suit A curious fsa- ture is that the wife is'a stepdaughter of the husband. At the death of his former wife he promised, at her request, to marry the daughter. who was a Miss Florence Smith. She is half-sister of her own children

 Greater care should be taken in admit ting old soldiers into membership with our camps. War records should be care fully and closely inquired into That there are some unworthy so-called Vet erans members of Camps cannot be de- nied. No man whose record is besmircn- ed or even doubtful Is entitled to the distinction of being a member of any Camp in the Federation. It is unjust to the real Veteran and wrong in every way.
 Crosses of Honor have been given too lavishly, and in some few instances to unworthy members. Camp legislation should be enlcted to restrict the bestowaI of crosses absolutely to such as are en- titled to wear them. They should be given as tokens of valor or of faithful service, and not simply as badges for personal decoration.
 Every old soldier whose service was faithful and honest. be he Democrat or Jew or Gentle, should he to our organization. This should be an order whereof any true and tried Confederate. tried in service and true to the end, irrespective of his po- | itical or religious views, may find fel- | owship.

FALLING HAIR STOPPED.
Badness Cured by Destroying the
 Parasite Germ That Causes It.

Badness follows falling hair, falling hair follows dandruff; and dandruff is the result of a germ digging its way into the scalp to the root of the hair where il saps the vitality of the hair. To destroy that germ is to prevent as we'll as cure dandruff, falling hair, and, lastly, bald ness. There is only one preparation known to do that, Newbro's Herpicide. an en- tlrey new scientific discovery. Wherever it has been tried, it has proven wonder fully successful It cant be otherwise, because it utterly destroys the dandruff germ.

BIG LOT OF HORSES SOLD.
c. D. Newbarry Gets $22 a Head for
Each of Five Hundred.

Miles City, June &c. D. Newbar-
ry has sold his bunch of horses, mum.
bering about 500 head, to Cliff & Gill
at $22 per head. There will be two
deliveries this summer, and one in
the fall. The horses are of the 76
half circle and o. S. brands. Mr..
Newbarry was not certain of their
number, as they have not been round
ed up for a long time.
Among the Newbarry horses were
several fine stations, the principal of
which was valued at 81, 200. and fig
ured last summer in the Little Mis-
souri, horsestealing episode, disappear
ing very mysteriously from the pas
ture about that time and turning up
just as mysteriously some time later.
The horses included in the sale are
many of them sired by these stations,
but the stations themselves are not
included in this sale. They will be
disposed of separately. Mr.. Newbar-
ry has not fully decided to what he
will now turn his energy. He may
engage in the sheep business.
