sicken; many people call them the Easy
Pill. W. II. Howell, Houston, Tex,

constipation, sick headache, etc. Bob

General Alexander Mcdowell NC
Cook had a story Illustrative of reNdi-
ness in excuse which he used to tell oc-
casionallv. Some raw troops were
dawn M for their first battle. They
were on marshy ground, under fire, and
ankle deep in slush. One of the sol
dlers was noticed to be trembling ex-
ccsstveiy, and his fear might communal
cate itself to his comrades. An officer
approached him.
''Here, You, what are you trembling
for?" demanded the officer. "Stop it or
you'll demornlize the company. You
are In no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid"
"I-I-f am. not-t-t a-a-dfraid," chatter
ed the soldier. ''I.I-I had the ague last

The generals partner CHANGED to be

ceased for awhile. Then she remarked,

A Greek died In the small town of
CaracaI, having always lived on the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him In the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks of
CaracaI toheIp her to provide the costs
of the funeral a good hearted Greek
went to see her in her affection and.
pointing to the body, said he would
give her better coat to bury the man
In. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened, told her
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining Of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs In bank
notes which the miser wished to take
