Galveston Tribune.
In the following brief paragraph
from the st. Louis Post-Dispatch a
strong sermon is told:
The court-martial of a young
lieutenant serving in the Philip
pines and the sentence to dishonor-
able dismissal from the army for
conduct "unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman" will be a warning
shock to many young men in and
out of the army.
"An officer and a gentleman
From the time the young soldier,
fresh from West Point-the vol
unteer or the graduate from the
ranks-dons his shoulder-strapped
blouse until the time comes when
he closes his eyes in death on the
field of battle or his call comes after
years of honorable retirement, he
ever bears that warning admonition
in mind and his conduct is so
influenced. Let him but deviate
the slightest from the straight and
narrow path and retribution is
surely his. Rank, record, wealth
or influence with the powers that
be cannot help him, whether he be
only a lieutenant or the general
commanding the army. He is
tried by his superiors, their recon-
mendations rarely disapproved by
the president, and, if found guilty,
he is dismissed from the service as
one contemplate in the eyes of
honest men and branded by Uncle
Sans mark of dishonor. Not even
a Carter with all the wealth, and
power of millionaire contractors be-
hind him to help escape punish
ment can avoid the fate that over
takes wrong-doers who wear the
blue. The United States army is
the most democratic institution in
this country in that wealth, family
or influence cuts no figure in it and
that man must be man among
men there.

The rag pickcrs of Paris recently
held a meetlng to protest agains,
the contemplated action Of the
municipal council in providing 70,
rubbish picking through an anto.
mobilesystem. 1t issaid that there
are $4,000 ragpickers in the city OF
Paris and referring to there people
and their grievance, writer in the
New York Times says: "Some OF
the 'chiffonniers' in question, made
famous in the novels of Eugene
Sue, have even amassed large for
times. M. Paulmier, VIII isknown
as the 'roi des chiffonniers, has
worked for nearly sixty years and
is still hale and hearty. He has
been thefatherof a score of children
seven of whom are living aud
following the parental vocation.
His integrity is proved by the fact
that he once picked up 62 900 francs
in bank notes and immediately
handed them over to the police.
He declares that rag pickers are
healthier than any other workmen
and ridicules the prevailing mi
crobomania. He considers that the
introduction of the motor system
will not only increase pauperism,
but that it is a crueland undeserved
affront from the city of Paris,
which has so often benefited by the
services of humble citizens who
have been repeatedly called upon
to aid the authorities in times of
epidemic and civil commotion.

The means by which sea birds
quench their thirst when far out at
sea is described by al old skipper,
who tells how he has seen birds at
sea, far from any land that could
furnish them water, lowering
around and under storm cloud,
Gathering like ducks on a hot day
at pond, and drinking in the
drops of rain as they fell They
will smell rain squall 100 miles
distant, or even farther off, and
send for it with almost inconceiv-
able swiftness.

They know he is disappointed
man, and that for forty years he
has nursed a secret sorrow which
has eaten voraciously of his store
of happiness.
Senator McEnery rarely speaks
of his disappointment, but he
mentioned it the other day to a
friend. They were at the Metro
politan in the cafe. The friend
had ordered drink, but the SEN
ator held back, though he was
urged to take something for his
health's sake.
"Liquor ruined my life" he
said gloomily when his friend still
insisted.
"Ruined your life'' repeated
the other in some surprise "HoW

Deafness COupOt be CNrcd

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Dealt
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is iniiamed you
have a rambling round or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal conditions, hearing
will be destroyed forever, nine ceses out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the

In Lee County, Miss, farmers
have a most unique organization,
the purpose of which is to make
the candidates pay in hard labor
tor the support pledges they re-
ceive At mass meeting Of the
farmers recently held in that
county the following remarkable
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we purchase Il
supply of hoes to be used by the
candidates in the campaign; and,
be ii
"ResoIvcd, That when dis
trict candidate appears on farm
we are to require him to hoe two
rounds of 400 yards each and
be ii
"Resolved, that all county can
didatcS be required to hoe ten
rounds Of 400 yards each; and, be
it further
"ReSolved, State candidates who
canvass in buggies be given a
double dose of work in the manner
above outlined
By this method the Lee County
farmers hope to make up for the
valuable time they lose each cam
paign year in talking to candidates
and if the plan is generally adopted
over the State, it will doubtless
detract in ii large measure from
the strenuousness of the contests.
