GEN, SMITH OVERCOME.
SHOWED EMOTION IN READING
PRESIDENT s ORDER.
Refused to Discuss Retirement-Afde
Said No Doubt Smith Didn't
Mean All He Said.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Stand1ng
IN the bridge of the Thomas, eagerly
waiting with the ships captain for
a glimpse of his native shore, Gen.
eral Jacob H. Smith, tried by court
martial for having ordered the island
Of Samar transformed into a bowling
wilderness, was doomed yesterday
morning to first learn that the presi
cent had retired him from active
Cuty, from a message from him by the
/ ilot which met the Thomas just out
s:de the heads, at 2 O'Clock yesterday
morning. In the failing light Of a
pinnacle lamp the veteran read the
message that apprised him OF his
fate. An hour later the dawn came,
and with il the sight Of land, but Gen
cral Smith had retired to his cabin,
where. with his wife and chief aide,
Lieutenant ]. H. Shields, Of the
twelfth infantry, he discussed the
outcome of the long ordeal through
which he had passed. When the
THOMAS reached the quarantine sta
ton in the harbor Major Duval, OF the
transport service, boarded the ship
with his secretary and met both Gen
cral Jacob Smith and Lieutenant
Shields, his aide, at the door Of the
generals cabin. A sealed document
frcm the war department was handed
General Smith. 1t contained the Off
cial notification of President Roose,
Ielt's action, and upon reading 1t
General Smith retired, overcome with
0notion.
Went to Army Headquarters.
General Smith was not seen again
Until the United States custom house
tender, the Hartley, was ready to
take the general and his party ashore,
He denied himself to all interviewers,
who were met by Lieutenant Shields.
Together with his wife and aide Cen
ial Smith proceeded to the Occi-
GENITAL hotel, repairing thence to army
eadauartars in the Phelan building,
vnere he remained during the morn
ing.
General Smith has absolutely
nothing to say for publication" said
Lieutenant Shields to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press.
Smith Felt Blow keenIy.
"He is not at liberty to talk and
furthermore has nothing to say. He
las been hopeful that the president
would not take action against him.
and Of course feels keenly the force
Of the blow he has received. The
general admitted to the court martial
trying him that he had issued orders
which in effect expressed his desire,
that the enemy, if obdurate and un-
ccnQuerable, be not spared-in fact,
that the country be~laid waste and no
prisoners be taken. The literal con-
sIruction of these orders and their
exact Interpretation made up the bull
Tark Of evidence against the general
1T the court martial. There is no
uOubt but that General Smith did not
mean all he said. He certainly did
hot expect the action which the presi,
lent has taken"

A Barber and Poet

Jasmin, the Gascon poet, who was
also a barber had many strange ad-
venture arising from the incongruity
Of his two professions.
At one time when he was visiting
the mayor of a French town and had
promised to give an informal recitation
to the townspeople the hour arrived,
and his host did not appear. Several
important personages assembled 10 ac-
company them to the hall. but the
mayor remained invisible, busted with
his toilet.
Finally, fearing the impatiencc of his
guests. he opened the door of his
chamber TO apologize and showed his
face covered with lather.
"Just a moment" said he; Il am fin
ishing my shaving"
"Oh," said Jasmin, "let me help
you"
He at once doffed his coat, gave n
finishing touch to the razor and shaved
the mayor in a twinkling with what
he called his "hand of velvet" In a
few minutes he was in the hall receiv-
ing tumultuous applause for his splen-
did recitations.

"Obtuse. You can't get an idea into
an Englishman's head with surgical

The questiOner remained In solemn
thought for moment. Then he broke
into a hearty laugh.
"Quite delicious joke" he exclaim-
ed. Though of course If you were
to open the Englishman's skull you
would kill him, would you not?"

THE ROAD TO DYSPEPSIA.
Why So Many Persons Suffer From
This Dfsfressing Trouble.


1t requires about five hours for the
stomach to work on an ordinary meal
and pass it out of itself, when it falls
into q state of repose; hence If man
eats three times a day his stomach
must work fifteen hours out of the
twenty-four After a nights sleep we
wake-up with a certain amount of bod
ilv vigor which is faithfully portioned
cut TO every muscle of the system and
every set of muscles, each its rightful
share. the stomach among others.
When the external body gets weary
after long days work, the stomach
bears its share of the fatigue, but If,
when the body is weary with the day s
toll, we put it % bed, giving the stom-
ach meanwhile a five hours task which
must be performed, we impose upon
the very best friend we haye-the one
that gives US one of the largest amounts
of earthly enjoyment-and if this over
taxing is continued it must as certain
ly wear out prematurely as the body
itself will if it is overworked every
day.
And. if persons eat between meals,
then the stomach has no rest from
breakfast in the morning until l, 2, 3
or O'Clock next day; hence it is that
so many persons have dyspepsia. The
stomach IS worked so much and Sc
constantly that ii becomes too weak to
work ut all. London Family Doctor

BUTTER AS A MEDICINE.

Butter is 50 common a commodity
that people use II and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand In the pats Of dainty yellow
cream fat or course they know that it
is useful in many branches Of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare Of its thinly rolled bread
and butter, its delicate cakelets and its
other usual accessories. Beyond these
uses the value OF butter is a thing only
vaguely thought Of
But this delicate fat Is as valuable
as the dearer cod liver oil for weakly,
thin people, and doctors have frequent
ly recommended the eating Of many
thin slices OF bread thickly spread with
butter as means Of pleasantly taking
| into the bodily tissues one Of the pur-
est forms Of fat 1t is possible to get.
Butter is q carbon, and all excess Of
| Ii is stored up as fat I'm the body. II
gives energy and power to work to

one afflicted with consumption butter

no less than seven different sorts Of

From Medicine to the Drama.

The earlier part Of Victorien Sar-
dou's career was beset with many
trials and difficulties. His parents
wished him to take up medical ca
reer, and he began his studies with
some zeal. The love of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love of the pill box, and in the inter
val Of the other work Sardou was
busy upon play. Life was struggle
for him, for he had little money,
though he managed to get journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first play was failure,
and Sardou rushed from the theater
vowing never to enter one again. He
fell seriously Ill, was nursed back to
health by Mile. de Brecourt, an ac-
tress who lived on a floor below, and
from that time his fortune was made.
