To BE Freel -
TO be free. to be free from the bondage
of FORM
From the letters of shallow pretense,
From the customs that bind us In limit
less swarm
And hedge US about as fence!
From the chatter and patter or gossiping
tongues.
With nothing for you and for me,
From people whose thinkers are lost In
their lungs.
1t Is. oh. to be free, to be free!
The letters Of fashion. the bondage Of
fern.
The chains that we bind on the soul.
No fallen they lift. and no heart do they
warm.
Yet to them we offer our toll.
The true man is hidden, the false is dis
played:
smirk. and you smirk upon me.
We barter our souls. and sorry's the
trade,
And it's oh, that we all might be free!

ately started up the slope, aiming for
the works browning the very crest.
Many officers seized the flags of their
regiments and rushed ahead of the
line.
Loud cheers from distant parts of the
line greeted the audacious charge of
Woods and Sheridan's soldiers, and at
last the officers Of other brigades and
regiments gave way to the enthusiasm
of the moment and led their own men
forward. Before the movement could
be checked from Grants headquarters
the entire Army of the Cumberland was
scrambling up the hill in broken de-
tachments. but with unbroken courage.
At the first rush the enemy's line was
broken in but few places. but in the
end Thomas soldiers captured the en-
tire ridge and turned the Confederate
guns upon their former owners, who

for this anger is made clear by the his

when he had the enemy in full retreat
the Army of the Cumberland was then
to aid in the pursuit after patiently
waiting till the fighting was, over.
Hooker under CRAFTS original plan
was to simply hold Lookout secure,
and when the enemy was driven by
Sherman he, too. was to join in the
pursuit. All the fighting. of the battle
was to be done by Sherman. and the
glory was to be his.

$40 the game must stop and he would

They played in the stateroom Of the
confederates. who felt very sure that
they could win at a fair game. and, if
caught at any irregular proceedings it
might get them into trouble Besides
1t would be more fun to win fairly.
They found the countryman easy prey
and soon won all his loose cash. Then
he went for his gripsack and produced
large number of crisp twenty dollar
bills. They played regularly every day
for three days, and when the ship was
nearing port the countryman confessed
that he was dead broke"
Then there was a scene. Robinson
bemoaned his fate. while the two bun
koers enjoyed his discontinue. Then
when he seemed utterly crushed they
gave him a lecture on trusting stran-
gers and told him Of their scheme to
ruin him for his own good. There was
a glad light in his eye as he grasped
both their hands, tears streaming down
his cheeks, and declared that they were
the finest men on the ocean, the finest
men in America, the finest men in the
whole world.
Graham and Tidball emptied their
pockets Of the money they had won
and were about to hand it back to the:
loser when he stopped them.
"You gentlemen" he said, "have
shown me what galoot l am and how
little I'm fitted to take keer of money

to put it in his bank. I'll never trust
myself ag'in with more n enough to
pay expenses"
The friends reluctantly consented,
and with tears of thankfulness the
farmer departed.
The next morning the ship was in
port. Mr.. Robinson did not appear,
and the two friends hunted for him
high and low; then, leaving their Lon
don address for him with the purser,
they started to go ashore Graham,
while on the gangplank. turning, saw
one Of the men from whom they had
saved Robinson pointing to himself and
his friend. The next moment two men
clapped hands on their shoulders, then
handcuffed them.
"What's this?" they both cried,
aghast.
There was no reply. They were tax

gage opened and found to contain sew

money.
They had scarcely left the dock be-

cigar, left the steamer. He lost no
time in jumping into a carriage and
was never afterward heard of in either

answers to seven questions, amongst
which was: 'Should tariff be re-
vised?' The vote on that proposition
was, yes 27,193, no 1O,73S.
When it is considered that the ma
iority in most of the states from
which this vote was gathered is
largely republican, it marks the re-
volt in the ranks of that party against
excessive protection. But another
vote was taken on a kindred subject
that shows how the extortions of the
trusts are regarded by the farmers.
The question asked was: should
trusts be regulated or suppressed?'
The answer was: Regulated, 22,854;
suppressed, 14.449. This straw vote
shows the drift for tariff reform and
regulation of the trusts. The stand
patters have a job in front of them
next year.

To Minimize Accidents.

The Illinois Central has decided to
install the Geographic block system
on its entire system, $500 miles. 1t
will cost $1,OO0.OOO but will be a saw
ing in the end as accidents will be re-
duced to a minimum.
In analyzing the accidents that oc-
CURED during the year ending March
!, 1903, the Railroad Gazette makes
the statement that so wrecks, causing
more than 100 deaths and serious in
jury to 447 people with a property
loss of about 100000, would probably
have been averted had the block sys-
tenn been in use on the roads where
these accidents happened.
One year ago the Interstate COM
merce commission published the
causes of % butting collisions costing
20 lives and property loss of over
100000. When these facts are con-
sidered it is strange that the railroads
of this country have been slow to
adopt the block signal system. the OBJ
iect of which is the maintaining of a
fixed minimum interval of space be-
tween two railroad trains travelling
in the same direction on the same
places where it has been tried, its eff
ficiency has been demonstrated. Even
though the demand for the general
adoption of the block signal system
has been great for the last decade.
only about $4,000 miles of railroad
out of total of about 100000 miles
are blocked, the growth during that
time having been from about $500
miles. Fifty railroad systems now
use the block system for
short distances, and % use it for dis
tances of 100 miles or over. It's first
use on any extended scale was by the
Pennsylvania between New York and
Philadelphia. and the ST. Paul in 1883
adopted it for the entire main line
mileage. 1t does appear now, how
ever. that the railroads are just be-
ginning to recognize the value of the
block signal system. It's adoption by
the Illinois Central at cost of ST.
100000 gives another illustration of
the faith railroad experts have in the
system. The Rock Island has author
lied the installation of the system on
S43 miles of its lines. TheNorthern
Pacific will install 343 miles with the
system and the Great Northern 800
miles. There is no question that the
adoption of the system will save lives
and property. and experts argue that
in only a few years it pays for itself
by decrease of damage suits and re-
duction of property loss from rear
end collisions.

wealthy resident of New York. died
in ST. Louis the other day in abject
poverty. Before the war he was re-
puted to be worth nearly a million
dollars and was leader in social and
business circles. He was one of the
companions of the Prince of Wales,
now King Edward, on his western
hunting trip, and served with distinc-
ton in the union army during the
war of the rebellion. He lost his for
tune in backing a patent air brake,
was deserted by his wife and daugh-

years. and a few months ago made

SIMPLY BREATHE IT.
A Few Minutes Use of Hyomei -Four Times
Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleasantest. most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hy-
omei. Simply put 20 drops of Hyomei
in the inhaler that comes with every
package and then breathe it for a few
minutes four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way of treating catarrh will effect
cure, but the most important dis
coveries of science have always been
the simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle of air that en-
ters the air passages of the throat
and head and goes into the lungs is
charged with healing balsam that
kills the germs and bacilli of catarrh
and soothes and allays all irritation.
The first days use of Hyomei will
show a decided improvement and in a
short time there will be no further
trouble from catarrh. It's action is
rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyo-
mel. A complete outfit costs 81, and
if after using you can say that it has
not helped you, L. HI. Thomas will re-
turn your money. What other treat
ment for catarrh is sold under guar
antee like this?
