effects: such rs sour stomach, sick
headache, habitual cOstlvencss, pal
pitation OF the heart, heartburn
waterbrash, gnawing and burning
pains at the pit OF the stomach, yell
low skin, coated tongue and disa-
greeablc taste in the mouth, coming

to mount for the ride but. 10,

patiently for the event; reared
up, plunged forward and-they

his pants were badly damaged.

A Bovine SOlilOGuy.

A COW OF grave and thoughtful mien
Lay stretched at ease upon the green;
An ancient X Inc, whose snowy brows
Proclaimed her patriarch of cows.
She glanced with retrospective gaze
Across the plain where cattle Craze,
And resting peaceful and sedate,
Proceeded thus to ruminate:
"For some decades and sundry years
I've browsed about this vale of tears.
And seeniull manga shift and change
Take place on this terrestrial range.
I've seen my kinfolk day by day
In countless thousands led away,
To fall beneath the butchers stroke
Or groan beneath the drivers yoke.
In outlets, joints, ribs, steaks and
chops
We grace a thousand butcher shops;
Ourbones by all mankind are gnawed
Our hides beneath their feet are trod;
We're fried, stewed, roasted, grilled
and boiled;
orned, canned, jerked, embalmed
and broiled;
Lied. timed, picked, chopped and
mashed,
Pissed, boned, devilled, smoked
and hashed.
Focenturies we've been mlsused.
Huhilated and abused;
But1Ow at last our day has come
The ;reat bovine millennium.
Whel man must pay for all our Ills,
And early, too. in long green bills.
Fornuw we're in the great Beef Trust
And pay our price he will and must.
No nor he sneers at corned beef hash,
Today lis worth it's weight in cash;
With every bite OF juicy beef
He mingl.s bitter tears OF grief"
Thus musng on her altered state
The old vaccine waXed quite elate,
And when the butcher came to slay
She ambled peacefully away,
Remarking calmly as she went,
Farewell to all. die content.
The man thatwhets his teeth on me
Gets all that's coming to him. See?'
Concluding as she glanced around:

Fowle, Helen Gibson Mrs. Margaret
Hamilton. Miss Jennie Putnam. Mrs. Ell
len ". Bowling. Mrs. Jane NJ. WarreII
Mrs NJ Mary S Gist. and hundreds of
others who are too modest to let their
light shine.
These war-worn women. or at least
about sixty OF them, have formed them
selves into an organization which is
known a. The National Association of
Army Nurses Of the Civil War" This
organization meets once year at the
same time and place as the national en-
campment of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. Many ST these women are al
most helpless now, several are over
eighty years of age. and many are verg-
ing on that. but as long as the dear old
creatures can get about, they attend the
national meetings, hoping to meet again
the boys whom they nursed from 1851
10 1860. The boys and the nurses are in
several instances great grandparents
now, but they viii be to each other
boys" and girls to the end.
The officers Of the national association
are chosen a. the national convention
The constitute requires that each ap-
pIicant for III nbership shall prove &C
tive service in the civil war, and there
is no possible chance for anybody who
longs for the fame these women have
won to sneak into the organization, for
the name of each is recorded in official
documents all through the history OF the
war. and are on file at Washington, and
there are too many living witnesses 10
their heroic deeds for an interloper 20
get in on forged documents. The first
organization of Army Nurses was that
over which Miss Dix presided In 1881
She issued the call and the meeting was
held June IS, 1881 The organization
was perfected under the title "Ex-Army
Nurses Association" little later the
name was changed to its present read
Ing. Miss Dix remained its president till
her death. Dr. Susan Edison, of Wash
ington. was the next President, and she
served till failing health caused her res
ignation- Mrs Annie Wittenmeyer was
the third one Miss Harriet P Dame
was then elected and held the Office for
many years, but failing health and the
long distance necessary to travel 10
reach the Encampment City caused her
to remain away Mrs Emily e Woodley
took the matter IN hand at louisville
and incorporated an association under
its present title. She was its president
fer TWO years.
