CockreIl,s WondarfrI Mar,orv.

Twenty or more years ago when liv-
ing in Columbia DR.. Young wrote Sen
ator Cockrell asking him for the gov
eminent publication called Medical
and Surgical History of the Civil
War;" Very promptly an answer came
from the Senator that his quota of the
publication was exhausted, but that
he expected the government to reprint
the work at latter time, and that he
would then comply with the request.
Ten years or more elapsed before any
thing more was said about the matter,
and then one day the doctor received
letter saying that the request was
still in mind, and that he would be
attended to as soon as the books were
republjshed. The next time the sub
ject was taken up was week or two
ago, when Senator Cockrell wrote that
the books had just been given him for
distribution and that a complete set
had been sent to DR.. Young's address
by registered mail, and DR.. Young
considers them a very valuable adj
dition to his library. - Fulton (Mo.)

His Face Settled Him.

Harry Sloan, the Evansville attor-
ney, has been spending the winter in
the south, and, incidentally, studying
its Jurisprudence.

to colored divorce suits you ought to

Hest looking colored man that ever
came down to show what the native
raw material can do when it comes to
getting up a caricature on the human
race. He started to tell his story of
connubial abuse and put in a smile
to tighten up the gloom. The judge
actually shuddered at the grin, and
turning hastily to the court clerk,
said:

The first posts are said to have origi-
mated in the regular couriers estab-
lished by Cyrus about $50 B. c., who
erected post houses throughout the
kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the
first to introduce this institution among
the Romans, 81 B. c., and he was imi-
tated by Charlemagne about 800 A. D.
Louis XII. was the first sovereign to es-
tablish post bouses in France owing to
his eagerness for news, and they were
also the first institution Of this nature
in Europe. This was in 1910, or about
1000 years after they were started in
Persia.

Heller Shelter.

"Helter SHELTER has been suggestive
~ defined as a jingling expression,
vaguely initiating the hurried clatter
of feet rapidly and irregularly moved.
Most dictionaries, however, led astray
probably by the ordinary photography,
have missed the true etymology of this
phrase. 1t should be ''helter keller"
"Helter' is an old word for ''hang,"
probably connected with halter, and
'kelter'' is used by old writer's in the
sense of 'order" or the proper state.
Thus Barrow, the divine, says, eff the
organs of prayer be out Of keller how
can we pray?"
'Helter skelter,' therefore, is literal
ly chang order and means, "Oh, hang
order; let us do it, or let it take it's
chance" Ben Jonson in EVERY Man
In His Humor" writes, ''Helter SHELTER,
hang sorrow, care'll kill cat" and
Shakespeare, using it to express rush
and hurry, says, "Helter SHELTER have
1 rode to thee"

Prenuptial Confidence.

She was an eXacting Philadelphia
young woman, and before she would
promise to marry him he had to an
swer a great many questions relating
to his past life. He thought he had
given her a very fair account of him
self, but just when the wedding cere-
mony was about to take place he re-
membered an omission, and, fearing
that she might have cause for future
reproach, he whispered into her
ear:
"Mary, there is one thing 1 have not
told you yet. l am a Universalist.
Does it matter, love?"
mo, l guess not, DEAR" said the
bride, serenely. Il am a somnambul-
list. '-Philadelphia 7 edger.

Understood His Art.

Baron Won Steuben was the drillmas-
ter of the Continental army at Valley
Forge. At first the men in the ranks
did not know the manual exercise;
many Of the officers knew little or moth
ing Of maneuvering. One Of the latter
turned out for inspection in dressing
gown. "Himmel und erdev' cried the
baron. ''What kind of creature is this?'
Baron Won Steuben was choleric and
profane, but he understood his art He
swore at the ragged Continentals in
both German and French, but he taught
them the value of drill and discipline.
When he had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he would
roar to his aid, ''Come here, Herr Haupt-
mann, and help me curse these block
heads" But he turned the undisci-
plined militia into we'll drilled troops.
Never again was the enemy able to
laugh at "Mr. Washington's rotten reg
iments Of ragamufins.''

RuriaI nv Degrees.

The few old ex-slaves now left in the
West Indies have many curious GUS
toms, but the most curious is that OF
burying themselves on the installment
plan. When they comb their hair they
are careful not to pull more hairs from
the head than they can help. Those
which come away they roll into ball
and put into bag of white muslin
They do the same with the parings OF
their nails and any other portions of
their anatomy which become detached
When the bag is full they bury it. II
asked why they do this they reply
"When me dead, massa, you bury me
body. Me hair am part Of me body, so
me bury it now when it dead"

The Hiawatha, Kan, World is
pleased to note that ''the hugging
feature has been eliminated from the
dance" and the editor of the Con-
cordia Kansan comments thus feel
ingly:
''The old man of this shack is nigh
on to 80 years old, and our dancing
days are over, but there is sweet
memory of days gone by fitting in our
mind that prompts us to remark that
the dance is dead one if such is the
case. Why, we'd just as lief dance
around a wooden Indian cigar sign
as to dance in a set where we couldn't
get nigh the girls. There's no i'm
provement about that sort of business
not even for an oldish man. We are
agin the new dance"

plentiful now" ventured Mr.. Jerome.
ooh, yes" was the reply, there is
plenty of work all right, but if you
belong to a union you have to be on
strike most of the time, and if you
don't belong to union they won't let
you work anyhow. New York Times.

A Nickname For Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, was
subject to dyspepsia, and when he was
suffering from that disorder he was
cold and distant toward his company.
One irreverent fellow always refused,
however, to be suppressed He said one
day: 'Just look at Cassius. He looks
as solemn and righteous as If he'd swal-
lowed the sword of justice. Let's call
him the Scabbard." And the Scabbard
he was-out of his harrington the rest
of that season.
