GEN. FITz LEE PAID UP.
Squared a Debt of Forty Years Stand
ing to Uncle Sam.

Major Chauncey B. Baker, chief quar-
served in Cuba under General Wood.
While there he saw much of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee, of whom he tells a hitherto
unpublished story illustrating the thor
ough and persistent methods of the
Government in the matter of accounta-
bility for Government property.
Previous to the civil war Generel Lee
was in the regular army and was sta
toned in the Quartermaster' Depart
ment in Washington. When the war OF
the rebellion came Lee espoused the
cause of the South and went into the
Confederate army. 1t developed short
ly afterward that Lee was responsible
for some Government property that had
been lost. The value was $3.50. OF
course, there was no way of holding Lee
He was not only out of the Union army,
but in the Confederate army. The ac-
count could not be collected. Any at
tempt to collect the account after the
civil war was concluded when Lee was q
civilian would be without result.
The Spanish-American War came,
however. and General Lee was recog-
nized for his services in Cuba and given
a command of brigade in the regu-
lar army. About the first letter that
went to General Lee from the Quarter
masters department was q statement OF
the Indebtedness of $37 so incurred forty
years ago. The time limit of twenty
days allowed by the regulations in which
Lee could have called for board OF
survey to clear himself of the indebted
ness had long since expired A trife
more than forty years of time had
elapsed In accordance with the rules OF
the War Department. General Lee was
told that the amount of the claim would
be held against his pay account.
''And General Lee paid it, said Major
Baker-Boston Journal

"AMERICUS' AND GRANT
WRESTLE TO A DRAW
Neither Gain Fall After Two
Hours Work.

| BALTIMORE, Oct 2S-The bout fol
the championship of the South was de-
clared a draw tonight after two hours
of wrestling between Joe Grant, OF
Washington, and Americas august
schoenlein), of this city.
The conditions of the match provided
that if neither had gained fall after
two hours work the bout was to be
called draw. The men were in prime
condition, and gave a scientific exhibi-
tion. There was no fouling and both
made the best of their time. There was
a marked improvement in Americus'
work since his last match with Grant,
when the men wrestled for an hour.
neither getting fall. Americus had a
few pounds the best of it in weight.
During the greater part OF the Sec
ond hour Grant was the aggressor.
Americus was cool. and eluded his holds
The neck holds by which Americus has
won many laurels failed to have an
effect on the Capital City lad. After
six minutes good work, Americus Sc
cured double Nelson, and held Grant
for fully minute when lie tried to
force his shoulders to the mat.
Grant secured a similar hold, and
picking Americus up, threw him to the
mat. After twenty minutes. both were
still roughing it. After an hour and
fortytwo minutes, Grant rolled the To-
cal boy off the mat. Americus slipped
the hold, but Grant claimed otherwise,
and demanded the same hold on the mat.
The referee, Harry Jeffers, however,
would not allow it.
Americus, to stop argument. allowed
the hold, and when time was called

FUN AT FORT RILEY.

Uncle Sans privates had fun. but it
was the camp of the visiting national
guardsmen that was dubbed Paradise

itors was something astounding Nearly
everybody was a general. Colonels and
captains were an insignificant minority.
and a lieutenant was unknown. Induce
ments to lieutenants were sent forth
without avail. The stress of dignity and
generalship finally became so poignant
that, in spirit of burlesque, Paradise
Alley was reorganized. A private from
the ranks-or perhaps it was non
commissioned officer-was captured and
put in command, and several generals
were made to police Paradise Alley. Just
who the policemen generals were was

JOCKEY HENRY SAYS HE
ALWAYS RODE TO WIN
American Rider, Expelled From French
Turf, Denies That He Was
Guilty of Fraud.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Milton Henry
Reiff and several others, was expelled
from the French turf for alleged crook
edness, in a long letter to James c.
Kennedy, the well-known promoter OF
athletic sports, throws a new light or
his case. Henry, as in his previous let
ters, stoutly denies that he was in any
way connected with any of the alleged
crooked races, and maintains that he
always rode to win and points TO his
record of ninety-five winning mounts as
an evidence of his good work in the
saddle.
Henry says the English jockeys and
trainers are jealous of the Americans,
who have been successful on the French
turf The American boys, he said, Sc
cured all the best mounts, and The Eng
lish trainers, fearing that American
trainers might be engaged to train for
the French owners, concocted the story
that he, Reif, and the other boys were
riding In the interest of bookmakers.
Henry states that the French authori-
ties have intercepted and opened nearly
all his mail. and that several letters
have been withheld by them. He has
employed counsel and will fight his case
in the courts.
Henry says that Reiff is also innocent
of the charges made against him. Reiff
won ITO races this year. and the rivalry
for first honors between Henry and
Johnny Reiff was very strong all during
the season.

ORIGIN OF wATERED STOCK.

who was once the wealthiest and most

Drew had been drover in his younger
days, and 1t was said of him that be-
fore selling his cattle in the market he
would first give them large quantities
of salt to make them thirsty and then
provide them with all the water they
could drink. In this way their weight
was greatly increased and the purchaser

wrestler who claimed to be the cham

position upon the management, the Irish
champion gave him chance to see what

A MILD CASE

| Of Contagious Blood Poison never
existed. 1t is always bad, though some
times no external symptoms of the dis
ease appear for long time.
Because the disease is slow IL devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for
external signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed
by painful swellings in the groins, red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsightly cop
per colored blotches, loss of hair and
eyebrows, and other symptoms of this
miserable disease. When the poison is
thus fighting its way to the surface,
exposing the disease in all its hideous-
ness, we call it bad case; but Conta-
gious Blood Poison, whether working
internally or externally, is a dangerous,
treacherous disease.
S. S. S. is the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly
and permanently. 1t is an antidote for
tHe ueduly VlluS tilat plOUuCeS lnS awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and destroys
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but in so doing
drive the poison further into the system,
where it slurnbers for time, but comes
back again with redoubled fury.
S. S. S. is vegetable remedy that
has been used successfully for years il

WHAT If YOUR LOT Is HABD'

That submission to ones lot means
that n should cit helplessly before
sorrow and disappointment while
weeks and months pass by, is a ter
rible misrepresentation. Life should
be growth. These trials come TO us
that we may conquer them, wrest
power from them. To yield faint,
heartedly lie surely ignoble, for there
is no life SO barren or hard, or sor-
rowful, that it does not hold some
door TO wider living, If we will but
seek it.
Is it loneliness that closes about us
and shuts joy from our dayP Have
we tried honestly and patiently TO
touch other lonely lives? Is it be.
cause we have no time for study
that life seems so hard and barrenP
A friend of working girls advised
them TO learn a poem as they went
TO and from their work instead of
simply reading street car advertise
ments. A verse, a line of poetry, a
single noble thought every day
who of US could not make time for
this, if we would? And how rich a
harvest one short year would give
usl Is it poverty that is eating the
gladness from our dayP It is hard,
but there are things within our reach
that no gold could purchase for u.s.
friendship, the power of an upright
life, the joy of earth and sky. Dare
we, with all we have within our
reach, bemoan our poverty
