Anxious About a Son.

Knoxville, July 21.-The family Of
Sergt. Charles Cook, who served with
the Ninth infantry in the Philippines
and China, are alarmed over his disap-
pearance. He was discharged from the
service April 8Oth from recruiting duty
here and went to Memphis, and from
there to Higginsville, Ark. He was
broken in health when he left here, and
no word having come from him since
May 20, his family fears he has either
died among strangers or been foully
dealt with. Sergt. Cooks father is ar
optician in this city.

The HaSty Man.

"The hasty man is never a traitor. !"
German proverb.
The hasty man has never the time to
engage in plots.
Because in haste he runs straight,
and crooked paths no not allure him.
He is original enough to change his
mind every once in while.
Consistency is jewel, but only Sec
ond rate men are fond of jewelry.
He is weather vane, but he has his
seat as often ON the feathers as on the
point. He turns his back on the wind
only when he has mind to. The wind
may switch him, but can not drive him.
He talks too much for comfort, buI
never willingly lies.
He misses many of the good things
of life-but never misses them.
He makes more errors, but covers
more bases than the cautious player.
AS an enemy he plays fair; as frient
he is embarrassing. But he has NOR,
friends than enemies, in the which ht
but gets his due.
And here endeth the first lesson. =

HELP FOR DEsERTERs.

Another provision of the Pritchard
bill will be quite as far reaching in its
effect. This provides that any soldier
who deserted the union army and after
wards re-enlisted and received an hon
orable discharge shall be eligible to the
pension list, his former desertion not
being allowed to initiate against him.
Cases of this kind are very numerous,
and thousands of them have been be-
fore the pension department and before
congress. Only in exceptional cases
has congress removed the desertion
charges. In the session just closed
President Roosevelt vetoed all bills oi
that class thatreached him and express
ed his opposition to such legislation in
no unmistakble terms. There were
over 100, 900 desertions from the union
during the civil war. It is estimated
that fully 10000 of that number re-en
listed and these will now have their de-
sertions removed as a bar to pensions.

GOOD SON, INDEED.
General Robert E. Lees Devotion to His
Mother.

mOtntT.
Robert Edward Lee was a model at
home and school. The death of his IA
ther when he was a lad left the mother
of Robert an invalid. At once his filial
love and sympathy rendered him q
"son OF consolation" to her. He was q
pupil at school in Alexandria, and dai-
ly, at the close of the school, instead of
rushing out with the boys to romp, he
would hasten home in q run to wait
upon his mother, and see that she had
her daily drive. He would help her
from her sick chamber to the carriage;
with affectionate care arrange the pill
lows for her; then, taking his seat be-
side her, seek eagerly to divert and en-
tertain her mind throughout the drive.
Sometimes he would exclaim, with boy
ish seriousness, Mother, if you want
to get we'll you must keep cheerful, "
He did the marketing for her, looked
after the horses and gave her medicine.
During her last illness he mixed every
drop Of medicine she took. Never did
mother have q nobler son.
She realized his worth, and when he
left home to enter West Point she ex-
claimed: 'How can live without Rob-

Tact With Children.

When my little daughter was about
three years old 1 one morning request
ed her to bring a certain cup from the
dining-room into the nursery. From
one of those impulses of contrariness
that arise in all youthful hearts at times,
she saw fit to refuse Without saying a
word l left the room and went about
other matters. Returning after o short
interval, | said very gravely and gent
ly, ''Do you know what have? | have
little girl who does not love me-" In
stantly the child started up, dropping
her playthings, and saying, "Allie's
going to get that cup, ran out and
brought it to me. Evidently her con
science had been active while she had
been left alone, and without any exte.
rior influence having been exerted, she
come around to the right frame of mind.
Unquestionably this experience, tend.
ing to self-control, was more beneficial
than if forcible pressure had beer
brought to bear upon her conduct. Fol
before obstinacy had fairly sprouted i
died away of its own accord. .-Florenc,

Cleveland Is Called Traitor.

Charlotte, N. c., July ia big
sensation was sprung at the state dem
ocratic convention at Greensboro, when
ex-senator H. s. Ward, in discussing
the minority report on the proposed
platform, denounced Grover Cleveland
as "an arch traitor to democracy"
In second A. II. Boyden, mayor OF
Salisbury, who was in the rear of the
hall, rose to his feet, and cursed Ward
for insulting gentlemen who were pres
ent.
An immense cry rose up from the as
semblage, and repeated yells of deri-
sion greeted Wards efforts to'continut
his speech. The ex-senator grew white
in the face, and tried to scream above
the clamor, but his voice was not heard
distinctly.

Words That Came by Accident.

'Hurrah!" It used to be 'hurrah"
and the cry is as old as England. 1t is
the battle cry of the old Morse vikings
as they swept down to burn and murder
among the peaceful British. "Tur aie!"
was their war cry, which means "Thor
aid!"-an appeal for help to Thor, the
god of battles.
"It's all humbug!" Perhaps it is.
Humbug is the Irish "Eim bog" pro-
nounced humbug, meaning bogus mon
ey. King James ii. ccined worthless
money from his mint at Dublin, his
twenty-shilling piece being worth two
pence. The people called it "uim bog" :"
1t was Roman gentleman of 1000
years ago who first asked "where the
shoe pinchers. He had just divorced
his wife and his friends wanted to know
what was the matter with the woman.
They declared she was good and pretty.
"Now," said the husband, taking off
his shoe, 'Isn't that a nice shoe? It's a
good shoe, eh? And none of you can
tell where it pinches me-.
''Before you can say Jack Robinson"
arose from the behavior of one John
Robinson. He was fool. He was in
such hurry when he called on his
friends that he would be off before he
had well knocked at the door.
''There they go, elter-skelter" that
phrase was coined at the defeat of the
Spanish Armada. The great feet of the
Spanish invasion was driven by storm
and stress of the English attack north
to the Helder river and south to the
Skelder river-the Scheldt.
Do you know why hare is called
"puss?" This is not riddle, but just
an example of how words get twisted
The ancient Latin word for hare was
"lepus." The Norman knights who
came over with William the Conquerol
pronounced the word 'le puss." Th'
puss he remains today.

Russian Proverbs.

The heart has ears.
Home is full cup.
Calumny is like coal-if it does not
burn it will soil.
Sorrow kills not, but it blights.
The pine stands afar, but whispers
to its own forest.
Blame not my best shoes, my boots
are in the sledge.
Behind the orphan God himself bears
a purse.
Poverty is not sin, but twice as bad.
May God make me feshy; rosiness !
can get for myself.
A dog is wiser than woman-it does
not bark at its master.
The holy Russian land is large, but
everywhere the dear sun shines.
BY that which wounded may your
wound be healed.
Black may be toll, but white is its
price.
God waits long. but hits hard.
Terrible are dreams, but God is mer
ciful.
Pray to God, bnt row to shore.
The wolf catches the destined sheep
Be born neither wise nor fair, bu
lucky.
Mustaches for honor, but even a goa
has beard.
An old crow croaks not for nothing.
Not long hurt the bumps from love,
ones thumps.
A wife is not o guitar when you
playing is done you can't hang her NJ
on the wall.
It's bore to go alone, even to ge
drowned.
A parents blessings can neither b
drowned in water nor consumed in fire
He who sweats afield and prays Go,
at home will never starve.
| A bad peace is better than a goo
quarrel.
Don't beat the muzhik with cudgel
but beat him with ruble.
To rotten wares the seller is blind.
Fear not the threats of the rich bu
the tears of the poor.
Drink at table, not behind a pillar.
Where there is an oath there is ais
crime.
The Czar's wrath is the messenger {
death.

WHO WILL PROFIT.

The bill in question was introduced
by Senator Pritchard, of North Caroli-
ma. 1t provides that all of those con-
federate veterans who enlisted in the
federal army prior to January /, 1865,
shall be eligible to receive pensions.
Senator Pritchard states that several
thousand men in the Carolinas, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and other southern
states, were forced into the confederate
army, although they we're loyal union
men at heart. Many of them deserted
early in the war and joined the union
forces. Others were compelled to bear
arms against their country for several
years, and large number Of them did
not get chance to Join the federal
forces until near the close of the war.
BY the provisions of the bill, all OF
these men will no be eligible to pen
sions. The number of them is moi
known, but more than 1900 applications
from men with such records have been
filed and rejected by the pension ae-
partment.
