of the strenuous "unpleasantness' be-
tween Yankee Doodle and Dixie the
major was called upon to contribute
his share of heroic and humorous rem
iniscence, says the New York Times.
"Well, boys" replied he, manipu-
lating the seltzer siphon with his left
hand-whatever remains of his sword
arm being near "Hell's Angle" on the
field of Gettysburg-"you ought to

small pension much easier than L can
tell funny story, and l can just now
recall but one, and in that you'll be
apt to find more truth than tickle.

stationed in Buffalo as a recruiting
officer for my regiment, and the price
of substitutes to fill the allotted quotas

backs than a common soldier could
earn in a couple of years. So universal
and overwhelming was the patriotic
desire to be huskily represented by
somebody else in defending Old Glory
that even 'Lo the poor etc, was ac-
cepted for that purpose. Buffalo, too,
was the biggest recruiting station in
the whole country, and as such gold

brokers, among whom one 'Cy' Phillips
was conspicuous.
"UnIer these conditions Phillips was
approached one day by an individual
with 'hayseed' written all over him,
from his tapping straw hat to his tai
Tered cowhide boots, who stated that
he had an Indian, as sound as second

and plausible reasons, he was willing
to dispose of for the small sum of $4O0,

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Widow of Confederate President
Lives in n Modest Way In n New
York Family Hotel.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the widow of
the late leader of the southern con-
federacy, is living in little world of
her own. She has taken up her resi-
dence in New York and for economic
reasons Will probably spend the re-
mainder of her days there. She has
an apartment in the old Hotel Gerard,
in West Forty-fourth street, and lives
on the fourteenth floor. Her windows
overlook the surrounding roofs, and
only on few occasions does she ever
leave her rooms. She walks with diff
iiculty and does not have to visit, as
her friends pay court to her as if she
were a royal parsonage. Mrs. Davis
uses a tall cane as people did 100 ye3rs
ago, and the head is of tortoise shell
and gold. She has as a companion a
sweet-faced southern woman who is
always with her. On Wednesday after

American and French artists in Paris
are much interested in midwinter
salon to be established at Antilles.
Ground has already been donated for
the purpose, and permanent palace is
to be erected. The salon is especially
designed to attract winter dwellers on
the RIVE Riviera, thus bringing artists
and amateurs together on a more salts
factory footing than even in the big
salons of Paris. A number of pronsi-
nent American artists have already
given their allegiance.

MODERN SOCIETY WOMEN

There were seven wonders of an

seven in our own times, but the most
wonderful of all is the society wom-
an, ever young, ever beautiful, ever
graceful, charming, fascinating, and
a marvel to all beholders. She does
not grow old, he never dies. She
never loses her tact, her grace, her
beauty. Like Tennyson's book she
may say:
"For men may come and men may go.
But l go on forever"
The doctors throw up their hands.
They cannot solve the riddle. The
beauty specialists shake their heads
in silent wonder. The modern So
ciety woman laughs scorn to the raw
ages Of time which lays its fingers
so heavily upon all the rest of us
more common clay. Ponce de Leon

WArTLED HOGS.
Interesting Explanmtion OF PecuE-
aarfty OF the old Time Hog.

Interesting Explanation OF d PecwE-
aarfty OF the old Time HOG.
Professor w. ]. MCGEE iii the Wash
fngton Post gives the following expla-
nation Of the presence Of wattles on
the old time hog. something that many
hog raisers have never seen:
During my boyhood days on farm
In Iowa waited hogs were as numer-
Gus as the more improved kinds are
today. In fact they were all over the
west, and nowhere very popular. Most
farmers were getting rid OF this pecul-
lar stock BIZ crossing them with Inn
proved varieties, and the question as
to what use the animals found for their
peculiar Wattles was as great mys-
terry then as 1t Is today In sections
where hogs of this race still exist.
However, there was q general and
widespread belief at the time that
while other hogs that nature had not
endowed with wattles were most GER
tain to cut their throats and drown
whenever they undertook to swim
creeks, rivers or ponds. the waited
hog could swim any distance without
incurring the least injury to it's throat
Waited hogs never drown was d COM
mon saying at the time, and on investi-
CATION discovered that far from be-
Ing q farmers superstition the BELIEF
was founded on fact.

was the case until one day. happening
to observe several waited hogs swim
ming across stream OF rather clear
water, saw at one glance Just what
function these wattles perform Once
I'll the water, the wattles drifted back
by the current against the throat, so
that in swimming the sharp hoofs of
the animal strike not against the
throat, but upon the wattles thus pre-
venting their sharp hoofs from cutting
into the jugHlar. In short, these wat
ties serve to protect the throat of the
hog from its sharp hoofs while II ii
swimming 1t Is certainly very curl

enables hog to swim without injury.
The wattIes may be cut and bleeding
after q long swim, but they soon heal,
and no great injury would be done to
the animal even IL they were cut en-

1t is not unmanly to be religious.
True manhood is always religious, for
religion c~ultivates the sturdy elements
OF character, prepares u man for the eff
forts of everyday life aud gives him in
sight into his present relations to the
spiritual world. 1t is easy in the world
to live after the worlds fashion. 1t is
easy In private to follow your own.
The hard thing in life is to so mingle
with men as to have influence among
them and still keep virtue unsullied
and the heart sweet. The christian is
not distinguished from other men by
his opinions of any sort. He is a chris
tian because and only because he rec
ognizes and follows moral obligations
as defined by Jesus Christ. He holds
to truth. He al not deny it. He
can not compromise it. Whatever diff
hculties may lie in the way of a pure
and devoted christian life in private,
that is a very simple matter compared
to living a consistent earnest, christian
life in public. Difficulties multiply.
The opinions and wishes and actions of
other people must be considered and
~unavoidably affect US. We meet Gus
toms and traditions which have almost
the force of law, but which are differ
ent from and in some cases contradic-
tory to our previous notions and accus-
toned ways of life. Whether we ought
to conform to, openly oppose or try to
silently ignore these new conditions
and requirements taxes the soul to de-
cide.-Ex.
