to do more to contribute to the comfort of their guests. "The war has greatly impoverished us," he said, land we are often ourselves at a loss for the common comforts of rife.' ......
 Some brief responses were made, after which the unique occasion came to an end, and the soldiers marched back to their prison. ...
 But to return to Col Watts.
 A flag of truce went out one day from the federal lines in front of Vicksburg to meet a flag from the confederate side. Gen. Sherman and couple of staff officers accompanied the federal flag, and Col Watts and an artillery officer met general had met Col. Watts before and greeted him warmly. The public busi- ness in hand was quickly dispatched and a general conversation followed.
 Probably few, if any, of our public men at that time possessed the con versational powers of Gen. Sherman. He had a aprodigious memory and high ly cultivated mind. Col. Watts himself was gifted in speech and when at last the conversation turned upon the pros poets of the confederacy, the two cham pions indulged in brief, courteous, verbal passage at arms, of intense in terest to those who stood by.
 The storm passed over when Gen. Sherman finally asked how the colonel and his friends managed to pass away the timein the blockaded city. Hewas in- formed that military hops were fre- quently indulged in and nightly perform ances were given in the theater.
 "But thought" said the general, 'that all the actors worth listening to had fled to the north.
 "Oh, mo-" replied the colonel. eve succeeded in keeping few good ones, and they give us some excellent per formances.
 I'm glad to hear it," said the general. 'I hope you'll keep them until we come 9
 The colonel bowed, but made no reply.

 Comedies and tragedies replied the colonel.
 "Good!" exclaimed the general, as he rose to bring the meeting to close. T like comedies. Some day I'll drop in and see how we'll they can play. I'll bring my boys with me- he added, laughing as he spoke.
 'T'll be sorry" replied the colonel, speaking very earnestly. "But when you come, general, comedy won't do. We'll have to play tragedy for you ?
 The colonel's auditors turned their grave faces upon him as they compre- hendedthe suggestiveness of his remark, and remained silent.
 Hastily bidding geach other good-by the flags separated not to meet again until after the tragedy had been played. H. R. BRTNKERHOFF, Lieut.. Col, Retired.

ANIMAL LONGEVITY.
Xnterewting Information Regarding Their "ExpectntfOn of Li1e''.~
 Some Singular Contrasts.

Some curious statistics have just been published upon what an insurance actuary would describe as the ''expecta- Aion of life" in animals. Singular, and to all appearances inexplicab.e, are the con- trasts displayed by these figures. Among the larger species of cattle there is some approach to uniformity. Thus, for the horse and the ass, the extreme limit is about 35 years, and for horned cattle about 30. For the dog 1t is given as 25, while sheep, goats, pigs and cats are grouped at 15, But there are stran- ger disparities among birds. While a goose may live 30 years, sparrow 25, and crow as many as 100, ducks, fowls and turkeys die of old age at 12 years. The privilege of greatest longevity is shared by the elephant and the parrot. Both pass the century.

at Andersonville, and possibly else where, but there were many acts of. kindness shown for which unfortunately. there is scant record. The recollection of one such instance is vividly impressed upon the mind of the writer. At time when several hundred federal soldiers were confined at Meridian Miss, a. couple of planters came one day to the prison and asked permission to speak to any masons who might be among them. About 20 prisoners came forward and introduced themselves as members of masonic lodges. By direction of the commandant of the prison these men were temporarily given their freedom and permitted to accompany the plant CTS, unguarded, to hotel in the town, where they were given an opportunity to bathe and served with delicious dinner.
 When the meal was over one of the planters expressed his regret that his companion and himself were not able

UNDER A TRUCE FLAG
An Interesting Incident of a Civil
 War Battlefield.
q Meeting in Front of yiczksburg Re- tween Gen. Sherman and Co1. watts-P1aying a Tragedy
 for the Federal Army.

Probably no official of the confederate government, during it's brief existence, rendered more kindly services to federal prisoners of war confined in southern prisons, than Col. Watts, the confederate assistant commander of exchange. While the colonel exercised no control over the management of the prisons by virtue of his office, his influence was nevertheless exerted on the humanel side of all questions of prison adminis-. tration in which his voice could be heard. But his kindly offices for the unfortunate. prisoners were not confined to efforts, to soften prison regulations, but ex-i tended to acts of courtesy and kindness to individual prisons.
 However. Col. Watts was not the only southern man to extend courtesies and show acts of kindness to federal prison, CTS. There were instances, doubtless, of brutal treatment of union soldiers, as

It Touched Her Eyes.

Our minister during a call sang one of those touching, simple melodies which Edith is so fond of hearing. She was very attentive, gazing on his face with her bright wondering eyes. As the song continued tears began to glisten beneath the lids and glide down her dimpled cheeks. After a few minutes silence he asked:
 Edith, how do you, like it?"
 "Oh, very much, MT. Webb; but it hurts my eyes."-Little Chronicle.

JAMES BOYS IN MISSOURI"

From the days of the civil war until the assassin's bullet fired by Bob Ford ended the career of Jesse James. the career of the noted James boys is shown in "The James Boys in Mis- souri," the thrilling melodrama which is to have two presentations at Poli's Friday afternoon and evening. The play abounds in startling incidents chosen from the lives of these noted outlaws, the Blue Cut train robb cry being a most remarkable hit in stage setting and acting. Prices are popu- lar

THE HEART OF CHICAGO"

Lincoln J. Carter's thrilling melo- drama, which is the attraction at Polls this afternoon and evening, is one of peculiar interest from the standpoint of scenic and realistic effects. In ad dHton to possessing carefully worked out plot, the production arouses inter est by the clever way in which the au- thor has introduced scenes embodying two of the great events in Chicago his tory, the great fire and the worlds fair. The stage effects and scenery are also far above those of the average melO- drama. The view of the city from the roof of the Masonic temple is very pleasing, while the railroad scene in the fourth act is probably as realistic as anything of its kind on the stage. The headlight of the approaching train is apparently seen miles away in the darkness. It gradually grows lighter and larger until the engine itself pulls up before the footlights. with bell ring ing and smoke pouring out of it's stack revealing to the now wrought up audi ence a real live ''hog" locomotive, with missing steam and panting throbs. The finale is also a cleverly arranged tab leau, showing the suicide of the will lain, alone in his home. while through the windows visitors can be seen walk ing around and admiring the beautiful Court of Honor at the great fair. Prices are 25, B and 90 cents.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Splendid patronage is being extend ed to the current show at the Jacques, 1t having made a firm impression as a thoroughly good exposition of the very best features of vaudeville comedy. The big double feature that is head lined has caught on with general favor. Charles H. Burke and Grace La Rue with their inky boys dividing honors and applause with MT and Mrs Gard ner Crane. Two other acts on the bills which are of comedy nature in the main. are contributed by Loney Has kell, Hathaway and Welton. Wagner and Arnim. Cherry and Bates, and Beeson, Malcolm and Beeson. The electrograph pictures, showing a sub- marine journey with fishes and sea denizens all about! have come in for much favorable comment this week. too, and, as one enthusiastic lady said yesterday. they alone are worth more than the cost of admission.

 Austen found himself called on to answer this question, a month later, when he was back in New York, chatting with his sister. who had missed and mourned him-rather she was chat ito him--at the late breakfast hour.
 He nodded acquiescence. Well, yesterday, I met Susie Craw- lords friend Miss Darlington-and she and her sister, Mrs. Keppler, were at the Cavendish for two months. Perhaps they were there when you were?"

people of Tonopah, to hold semi
monthly meetings, at which suitable
entertainment will be provided. The
program of pleasures will be varied,
comprising card and dancing parties,
as well as musical and literary
recitals. The membership continues
to increase and the number to which

ization are: H. H. Clark, president;
Mrs. H. A. Montgomery, vice-presi-
dent; c. M. Swindler, secretary, and
Miss Elsie Scheneman, treasurer.

REMARKABLE FOOD
is DISCOVERED
Scientist Claims to Know Strange
Principle OF NOurishment.

The dicovery of a new food SUBJ
stance is important enough to attract
general attention, particularly when
SO remarkable qualities are claimed
for it, as for the socalled lecithln,
which is said to be recently found. A
correspondent of the New York Sun
says its qualities have just been dem
onstrated by a series of experiments
by Dr. Shinkishi Hatai, professor of
neurology at the University of Chi
cago. DR.. Hatai experimental with
white rats, and by feeding them
lecithin made them grow sixty per
cent faster than they grew ordinar-
ily This was under conditions of
atmosphere and general surroundings
that were unfavorable. The scientific
men say that lecithin will have a
similar effect on human beings.
Lecithin, according to the definition
given by DR.. Hatai, lis an organic,
phosphorus containing body found in
eggs, brain matter, and the white
corpuscles of the blood" The pro.
fessor's experiment shows that the
growth induced by lecithin is normal
and healthy. 1t stimulates all parts
of the body alike, thus acting unlike
other stimuants.
