Grant to satisfy that great officer
that we were in our stronghold and
anticipated his landing and attack.
This way was the best for him in
every respect. We thought beyond
doubt that he would make his way
around Vicksburg. 1t would have
been easy going with us to have re-
pulsed him and driven him back had
he advanced this field against our
splendid position.
'After the return of the rider, I
suppose it was about 40 or so min
utes, the signal corps sent the mes
sage to Bruensburg, below Vicks-
burg, to make the attack from that
point. 1t was only short time un-
til we heard the guns laundering in
that direction. Grant, instead of
making the attack and surrounding
Vicksburg by the way of Snyder's
Bluff, made his landing and advance
by way of Bruensburg.
"The next morning many of us
were ordered to meet him. We met
him and fought him all the way to
Bakers creek. or Champion hills,
where we made the greatest fight.
but we were repulsed and driven
into Vicksburg, where we stood the
long and fearful siege.
"Joe Willis, my comrade, who kept
the pistol o4 the dashing rider as
he rode off, had this pistol few
weeks ago at a meeting of our old
battery at the Piazza hotel in Vicks-
burg. .
"This shows what fearless man
can do in any country where he has
the nerve and rides the right kind
of stock. 1 have often wished could
meet this man, for this is certainly
piece of unwritten history"

Bosye on being examined for member
ship in the r. A. Smith camp of Con-
federate Veterans at Macon, Ga. This
reply called for an explanation, be-
cause it is customary for candidate
for membership to tell where he en-
listed and how he was dismissed from
the confederate service before he can
become a member of camp. Mr.,
Bosye explained that he was one of
the 1000 men of the western army,
who decided that they would go to
Mexico with their commander, Gen.
Shelby, rather than submit to the hui
initiation cf surrender. The com-

the room for it's new occupant.
Loading his revolver with unusual
care, Jack bade his friend good
night and retired, locking the only
door belonging to the chamber and
making a careful survey of every
nook and corner. The bed had been
draped in the whitest of clean linen,
and Jack rubbed his hand over the
smooth surface in appreciation of
the rest it promised. Something
stuck to his fingers. A subtle odor
greeted his sensitive nostrils. He
touched his tongue to the substance
on his fngers-it was cheese.
His first thought was to call Ma
lita. She did not answer, and he
sought her in the kitchen of the
house. She was startled by his
abrupt entrance and showed fear,
although man was with her. Jack
had not seen him before, and in his
heart pronounced him a picturesque
vagabond. He asked Malta who he
was. She answered sullenly:
mine son, excellenzia."
Jack was surprised. Il never knew
you had son." he said; Il did not
know you ever married"
mo, senor-me mooch marry-yes,
long time now" And Jack asked no
question about the cheese as he in
tended; the strange man had put
that in the background.
The denouement is tame enough,
although its inception had cost
life. Ross Morton, waking for his
friends sake, heard the report of
revolver near dawn. He rushed to
the rescue, broke in the door, and
found Jack standing in the middle
of the room with the counterpart
of the object in the eye of the photo
graph held at arms length. There
was the fiendish face, devilish with
frightful devices, the eyes tricked
out with horrid rings of fire, the
pointed ears ablaze with spectral
light, yet stripped of its PHOSPHORUS
glow and with Jacks bullet in it's
heart it proved to be nothing more
harmful than one of the squirrel ro-
dents of California, but Jack him
self declared that his own senses had
almost suspended with fear at the
approach of the thing, which looked
five feet high as it leaped about in
its uncanny guise.
Nothing more was seen of Malta.
The rat had been pet of hers, and
it was surmised that she had only
intended to give the place the name
of being haunted that she might not
be dispossessed. 1t was recalled that
singular light had frequently been
noticed moving in erratic shapes
about the house. The affair, which
was the talk of the time, is likely to
come to notice again, as the San
Francisco papers announce that Man
uel Lugren, who died bachelor, is
suing the estate for a share of the
property. - Chicago Record-HeraId.

putting that nice Ointment on the
sores.
- wouldn't have believed that
my baby would have been cured by
little thing like that. Not all of a
sudden, mind you. Little by little,
but SO surely. Charlie and 1 both
got more peace by day, and more
sleep by night. The sores sort of
dried up and went away. 1 shall
never forget one blessed night whep
went to bed with Charlie beside

slept through the night without .

81 hired a girl to mind the chill
dren and to do whatever else she
could. l couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as | was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after few days, and let
the girl go. l had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but l paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret
tul and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, didn't think much Of that.
Even when a rash broke out on his
face l wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sew
eral of my others had it when little,
and thought nothing about it.
But the rash on Charles poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. had never seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little Jumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer He wouldn't
eat, and night after night walked
the floor with him, weak as l was.
Often I had to stop because felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.

disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told

DIspERsARY INVESTIGATION.
The Committee Organized and the
Examination of Witnesses
Begun.

The senate. committee on the dis
pensary met yesterday morning,
Messrs. Williams, Evans, Crum and
other dispensary officials being present.
There was at the first some discussion
as to the methods OF procedures SEN
ators Dan and Sharpe insisting on
specifications while Senators Stanland
and Herndon thought the committee
should Srst find if there we're anything
upon which to base a charge against
the management It was, decided by
vote to proceed without specifcations,
and Senator Stanland then asked that
the following witnesses be summon
ed: j. B. Douthit of Anderson, II. E.
Watts and T. 2. Lightfoot Of Colum-
bia and John Black of Walterboro.
These witnesses are to appear at 10
O'Clock today. Senator Stanland stat-
ed that he made no charge of dishon-
esty against the commissioner or the
board of directors, but that he would
criticize their business management
of the dispensary. Taking the wit
ness stand, Mr.. Stanland read the law
as to the school fund and the annual
report of the directors. The commit
tee then took a recess until p. In.
At the afternoon session the first
witness was II. E. Watts, former
employe. He said that in April,
1900, he saw dumped 20 barrels OF
one x corn and four barrels of three
XXX corn, which when drawn off
was labeled asstwo X Whiskey. This
was done under instruction of Super
inendent Dixon. He was connected
with the dispensry when j. B.
Douthit was commissioner and be saw
him raise the labels on eight barrels
Of whiskey. He was discharged March
5, 1902, the reason not being stated.
T. E. Lightfoot/ of Columbia, an
other former employe, next testified:
He said he saw quantity of one \
South Carolina corn dumped in vat
and when it was drawn off half of it
was labeled one X and the other half
two Xxx. He said be was discharged
for drunkenness, though that was not
an uncommon circumstance among
others connected withsthe dispensary.
The committee will resume its sit
ting this morning at $50. and it IS said
that witness outside sof Columbia

Seeking Our Friendship.

Berlin, 1'eb. ia semi official
answer to the criticisms Of the Ger
man government for allowing the
United States to have anything IL Go
with tie negotiations betweensthe co
operating powers and Venezuela . was
issued today, which says:
The United States participation in
the settlement of the Nenezuelan con
troversy is regarded in many quarters
as unfortunate and as hindering the
result of the negotiations. Certainly
we would have reached the object de-
sired more rapidly and better if we
had been let alone with Venezuela,
but every politician that knows the a,
B, G, of this question knew absolute
ly in advance that we would not have
been let alone. Means for eliminating
the United States from the controversy
of the European powers with Vene-
zuela there were not and there are
not now. A statesman who had acted
on shis assumption would have lost the
game from the start The patriotic
publicists >who call for treating this
question according to the Bismarckian
method, can rest assured that this
method is being applied. Carefully
nursing the friendship of the United
States is a Bismarckian tradition,
as documents testify. In his relations
with the United States he never wore
cuirassier's boots, as now is SO often
demanded, and in the Samoa question
he was perhaps less exacting than his
