GERMANS IN THE aEvoLu4IoN.
Rendered Valuable Aid in American

Rendered Valuable Aid In American
War for Independence.
1t is well known what important SER
vice was rendered by Germans in
bringing the war Of Independence to a
successful issue. The German colon
lists in New York and Pennsylvania
were largely represented in the patriot
army. and the names of Baron Steuben
and Gen. Herkimer are remembered as
Of officers deserving highest honor.
How many Of the same nation
served against the colonies. sold by
German Princes to Great Britain. has
only lately been computed. 1t is now
known that these mercenaries, COM
prehensively called "Hessians." be-
cause the larger number were from
Hesse. formed the larger portion Of
the English army. The total of these
German soldiers sent to America from
1776 to 1852 was 30.067; of these H..
562 did not return. AS the loss by
death was 1884 there were 4,S0S who
remained In America, and helped to
swell the already large German ele-
ment Of the country's population.
These not only. but those who re-
turned home. helped. 1t seems certain,
to pave the way for that rapid increase
of immigration from Germany which
for years after the war was a marked
feature in the growth and development
OF the new characterization lntelli-
gencer.

SERIOUS MIXING OF LErrgas.

careiessness That Must Have Caused
Unpleasant Quarter Of an Hour.
A well-known citizen of Clay Center
had been invited to an evening party.
He wanted to go. but his wife declared
that she had no gown suitable for the
occasion. and asked him to send re
grets" to their hostess. The man
went down to his once and penned
this facetious note of declination:
I'VE regret that your kind invita-.
tion must be declined for all the con.
ventional reasons. but the real reason
Is that half the family has nothing to
wear. My wife's latest dress is over
three weeks old. and her hat is twelve
hours out Of date. You will appreciate
the hopelessness Of the occasion and
excuse IT,"
He thought this pretty good. and he
determined to write a note to his wife
also explaining that he would not be
at home for an early dinner. as she
had asked him. He said in this note:
4 have turned down your Invitation
because am going out to another
evening party where the guests are
not expected to wear anything of i'm
portance. Sorry I won't be there to
kiss you good night
And then the fool man carelessly
sent his wife's note to the hostess and
the hostess's note to his wife.-Clay

A dying patient RECEIVERS through
the interposition of humble German.
Chicago. Nov. is.
Some weeks ago DR.. G., very
reputable and widely-known physi-
elan. living on c. Street, was call
Cd to attend very complicated case
Of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the
house he found q man about forty
years of age. lying in a prostrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with tae
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient, but the man continued to
grow worse. and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in a very alarm
ing condition. Tho knees and elbows
and larger Joints were greatly infam-
ed, and could not be moved. 1t was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with
the aid Of three or four persons. The
weight Of the clothing was SO painful
that means had to be adopted to keep
It from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be Of no avail. and left the
house. the members Of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard of the despair
Of the family. and now asked them to
Try his remedy. and accordingly
brought forth q bottle OF ST. Jacobs
OIL. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much. after n few hours
they used 1t agair. and, wonder of
wonders. the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out. When the doctor
called q few days after. he was In.
