PRESIDENT CENSURES MILES.
New York Journal.

On Saturday Lieutenant-General
Miles, the commanding general of the
United States army, incautiously
visited the White House at Washing
ton. In a life of sixty-two years,
which had brought him into contact
with ten Presidents, he had gone
through many experiences, and doubt
less felt prepared for anything he
might encounter in the home Of any
gentleman of his acquaintance.
But Genera Miles found something
new in store. In the presence of
eight or ten other visitors President
Roosevelt j. sa d, to have turned upon
him AMI excla Il cl

We capuot rep thinking that #
President RooeeE eli had taken time to

nave hesitate before administering
to General Nj .es the rebUne OF a
schoo.nlaster to an unruly pupil.
Fer Instance:
When Theodore Roosevelt was two
years, ten months and thirteen days
Did, Nelson A. Miles entered the army
as a volunteer. He fought in the
bloody battles of the Peninsula, before
Richmond and at Antietam.
On September 80, 1862, when Mr..
Roosevelt was three years, eleven
months and three days old, he became
colonel of bis regiment.
/ On May 3. 1868, when little Theo-
dore had reached the age of four and a
half and was doubtless luxuriating in
his first trousers, Colonel Miles was
earning the Medal of Honor for dis
tinguished gallantry in the battle OF
Charlottesville, while holding, with
his command, a line of abattis and
ri file pits against strong force of the
enemy until severely wounded.
On May -, 1864, Miles became
brigadier-gener4l of volunteers fol-
distinguished service during the bat
ties of the Old Wilderness and Spott
sylvania Court House. AT this time
Mr.. Roosevelt was five and hal
wears old, and the Hon. Elihu Root
now Secretary of War, was just grad
uating from college preparatory tt
studying law.
On August 20, 1864, two months be
fore young Roosevelt's sixth birthday
Brigadier General Miles was brevettee
major general for ''highly meritoriou'
and distinguished conduct Throughout
the campaign, and particularly fol
gallantry and valuable service in thu
battle of Reams' Station"
All these distinctions were con
ferred by Abrsham Lincoln. In earn
ing them General Miles was wounde,
three times.
In view OF these facts does it no
seem to President Roosevelt as il b

Golf In the Old Days.

Centuries back golf was pastime OF
the royal family, though then usually
played in Scotland. The Stuart family
was very fond of the game. and the
first English club was established at
Blackheath in 160S by James l. His
eldest son. Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with a club, where
upon he coolly remarked, Had I done

THE HONEYBEE.



With the closest scrutiny 1t becomes
evident that she bee does not, like
other creatures, house its tongue In its
mouth. but neatly folds 1t back beneath
its head. Bumblebees, when disturb

The jaws OF the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite q for
midable nip. Catch a bee In a net and
see how viciously 1t will bite at the
J meshes, working its jaws sideways In
stead of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement Of
the bee tongue, but in reality It IL
more than this, for the whole arrange
ment consists Of two slender filaments
called maxille, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If drop Of honey lies
near the surface Of a flower. the slen-
der active tongue, darting out from
the case formed by the maxilln, ticks

ticks plate. Should the tube of the
Hover be elongated the bee has at
command another length of tongue.

To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-

clean it out. The frightening process

allied parts are sometimes called. is
accomplished by series Of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
powec, the tongue is a hairy member,
the hairs arranged in rings, the longest
ones toward the center. They assist in

honey sack.-ChautauQuan.

Room on the Side Walks.

The way Brookhaven's side
walks are blocked, especially by
negroes, on Saturdays and other
busy days, is reflection on the
town and the magistracy of this
city. On Saturday night of last
week is case in point. An emil
nently respectable gentleman and
his two daughters were unable to
make their way home through the
crowds on Front street,. at half
past nine that night, and SO resort
ed to the railroad; when, To-! as
they neared the main crossing in
the center of the town, the "sanc-
titled !" colored population were
found to be holding forth Justify
in the midst of many sable audi
tors, and the aforesaid white ped
estrians wished they were a
stream to flow under or bird to
fly over; but, being neither, they
betook them to the open street
and at last gained their door,
thankful they could close
it against the impertinent in
trusion of the outside. These
things ought not so to be, and
they need not be. There is danger
in it to life and limb and the side
walks should be kept Sin passable

structions, as we'll as other OBJ
jectionable matter. ''Llberty is

The Best Reuredy for Group.

FROM Me AtchtS0h, hdR, Dduy Gi00e
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old-fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much. 1t causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker and gives relief in a shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
