Soldier of Two Wars Celebrates
His SOth Birthday

On February 25th, 1904, Mr..
Aaron Adams, living near Primus,
had the pleasure of meeting many
of his children and grandchildren
and other friends at his home.
Twenty three grandchildren, two
sons and three daughters were
present, and in all there were So
present for dinner. 1t was very
solemn occasion to meet with one
of the oldest veterans in the east
ern part of the county, as all took
leave for home not knowing that
we would meet again In this life
Mr.. Adams was a member of the
famous Palmetto Regiment in
Mexico, of which its last survivor
will soon have passed away and
the time cannot be long, tor Ian.
caster county has only three liv-
ing-Capt. McManus and Mr.
Clanton being the other two. l
notice only a few days ago the
last one of York county's Mexican
soldiers passed away to join the
roll-call in the world beyond.
Our government gives each one a
small pension which helps them
in their old age, and although
they served in the Confederate
war and took part III some of the
hardest fought battles and were
wounded, yet our proud Palmetto
State will not allow a Mexican
soldier that draws from the y. s.
government a pension. Thous-
ands are drawing from the state
that are no more worthy than are
these Mexican soldiers. My ex
perience is that nothing is fair in
war, and not much in time of
peace.
Long may the old veterans live
and may they have many, many
birthday dinners yet and meet
with their children and friends.

Another Effective BOmbardment.

Liao Yang, Manchuria, Feb.
29.-Foreigners living at Yin
Dow say that the Japanese
fleet has received orders to at
tack and capture Port Arthur,
March 1, at all costs.
London, March IA dis
patch to The Daily Telegraph
from Yin Kow, dated February
%, says: "Fifteen Japanese
warships furiously bombarded
Port Arthur from 10 to II
O'Clock this morning. The
Russian cruisers Novik, Askold
and Bayan, accompanied by
four torpedo boats, steamed out
to meet the attack. They were,
however, forced to retire. The
Askold was in sinking condi-
ton. The Novik was badly
damaged and a torpedo boat
was sunk. The Russian battle
ship Retvizan was again dam
aged. The japanese withdrew
in good order.'
Chefoo, Feb. 29.-The Twen-
ty-ninth japanese infantry oc-
cupying Ping Yang, midway
between Seoul and the Yalu
river on Sunday met a body of
Russian cavalry scouts north of
Ping Yang and drove them
back.
1t is estimated that 10000
Japanese troops have landed at
Chemulpo. The transports now
are not escorted by war vessels.
The Japanese sailors who
manned the merchant vessels
which were sunk at Port Arthur
on landing here, shaved their
heads as mark of disgrace
they felt at the failure of the
project. The crew of the Jinzen
Maru wrote their names on the
foremost 1lag which remained
above water when the ship
went down.
Washington, Feb. 29.-Uni
ted States Minister Allen cables
the state department from Seoul
that in pursuance of an arrange
ment he has made with the
japanese minister, returning
transport will bring Americans
from Ping Yang, a point in
northwest Corea, near the Dor.
der of Manchuria. The Ameri-
cans in Seoul and vicinity have
already been sent to the Philip
pines. Mr.. Allen says that
Russian scouts, on arriving at
Ping Yang yesterday, were pur,
sued by the Japanese.

All in the Count.

One man thinks he has discovered
the cause of the remarkable age ut
tanned by negroes. These instance
are far from rare in Dixieland and
the obituary of more than one colored
servant relates that deceased often
spoke of Lafayette, George Wash
ington, and others. 1t is largely q
matter of arithmetic--bad arithme-
tic.
One of the two servants in this
family is colored NANNY. The other
day she went to her employer and
said:

stage Of the proceedings, Sergt.
Crabb, of the cavalry, was the most
experienced Indian fighter left 1T the
post. Crabb was sent for, and UNI
f1inchingiS rave his views. The Sioux
had probably scattered before the
squadrons sent after them from the
north; had fled into the hills, and, in
small bands, probably, were now raid
ing down toward the Platte, well
knowing there were few soldiers left
to defend Fort Frayne, and no cavalry
were there to chase them.
What brings them here? What do
they hope to get or gain?" asked
Flint.
II do not know, SIR" answered
Crabb. "But this do know, they are
after something and expect to get
it. If l might make so bold, sir,
think the major ought to keep an eye
on them blasted halfbreeds at Hays"
1t set Flint to serious thinking.
Pete and Crapaud, paid henchmen of
the trader, had been taking advantage
of their employers absence and cele-
brating after the manner of their
kind. One of his officers, new like
himself to the neighborhood and to
the Indians, had had encounter with
the two that rubbed his commits
stoned fur the wrong way. A sentry,
in discharge of his duty, had warned
them one evening away from the rear
gate of u bachelor den, along Off
GERS row, and had been told to go
to sheol, or words to that effect. They
had more business there than he had,
said they, and, under the potent sway
of inspiring bold John Barleycorn"
had not even abated their position
when the extraordinarily happened
along. They virtually damned and
defied him. too.
The Extraordinarily reported to
the commanding officer, and that
officer called on Mrs. Hay to tell her
he should order the culprits off the
reservation if they were not better
behaved. Mrs. Hay, so said the serv-
ant, was feeling far from well and
had to ask to be excused, when who
should appear but the ministering
angel Mrs. Dade herself, and Mrs.
Dade undertook to tell Mrs. Hay of
the misconduct of the men, even
when assuring Major Flint she feared
it was matter in which Mrs. Hay
was powerless. They were afraid
of Hay, but not of her. Hearing of
Mrs. Hays illness, Mrs. Dade and
other women had come to visit and
console her, but there were very few
she would now consent to see. Even
though confident no bodily harm
would befall her husband or her
niece, Mrs. Hay was evidently sore
disturbed about something. Failing
to see her, Maj. Flint sent for the
bartender and clerk, and bade them

Circum.tantial Evidence.

1t is a rule, to which good lawyers
usually adhere, never to tell more
than one knows. A newspaper tells
funny story of lawyer who car
ried the rule to the extreme.
One Of the agents in Midland re-
vision court in England objected to
a person whose name was on the reg
lister, on the ground that he was
dead. The revising barrister declined
to accept the assurance, however,
and demanded conclusive testimony
on the point.
The agent of the other side rose
and gave corroborative evidence as
to the decease of the gentlemen in
question.
"But, sir, how do you know the
mans dead?" demanded the harris.

"Wen," was the reply, 81 don't

CHILD LOVE.

When weary and Worn with the struggle
in seeking life's coveted prize,
When clouds of despair hover round me
and shut out the blue of the skies;
AT times when I feel SO discouraged and
burdened from bearing the load
That seems to completely oerwhelm me
while struggling along the rough
road,
It's then, for relief, that turn me away
from the world and entwine
My arms round the one who still loves
me-this golden-haired baby of mine.
What temptations can not conquer!
What battles not win, if the prize
Is the love and the mute alteration that
beam. in my little ones eyes?
With her dimpled arms thrown around
me, and her baby voice in my ear,
There's sunshine forever about me, and
all of my doubts disappear.
The beacons of hope that inspire me are
the love-lights that trustfully shine
In the brown eyes of one who adores me
this golden-haired baby of mine.
The blossoms of spring may all wither
and the birds lose their power of
song,
Yet life has sweeter attraction than
these to entice me along;
Her smile, like the sunbeams of MONDAY,
brings gladness and warmth and
good cheer
And drives off the shadows of darkness
and doubt that are lowering near
God take away from me forever the riches
of earth, but enshrine
The wealth of the love of my treasure
this golden-haired baby of mine!

age bacchanals got their whisky,
and both men promptly and conf

Neither of them would give or sell
to either halfbreed drop, and old
Wilkins stood sponsor for the integ-
rity of the atlantis, both of whom he
had known for years and both of
whom intimated that the two speci-
mems had no need to be begging, buy

Hays private cellar held more than
enough to fill the whole Sioux nation.
Moreover" said Pink Marble,
they've got the run of the stables
now the old mans away, and there
isn't night some of those horses
amt out" When Flint said that was
something Mrs. Hay ought to know,
Pink Marble replied that was some
thing Mrs. Hay did know, unless she
refused to believe the evidence of her
own senses as well as his, and Pink
thought it high time our fellows in
the field had recaptured Hay and
fetched him home. If it wasn't done
mighty soon he, Pink, wouldn't be
answerable for what might happen
at the post.
All the more anxious did this make
Flint. He decided that the exigencies
of the case warranted his putting a
sentry over Hays stable, with orders
to permit no horse to be taken out
except by an order from him, and
Crabb took him and showed him, two
days later, the tracks of two horses
going and coming in the soft earth
in front of narrow side door that
led to the corral. Flint had this door
padlocked at once and Wilkins took
the key, and that night was surprised
by note from Mrs. Hay.
''The stabiemen complain that the
sentries will not let them take the
horses out even for water and exer-
else, which has never been the case
before" and Mrs. Hay begged that the
restriction might be removed. Indeed,

tress Mccain decided to make further
investigation before saying anything
to anybody; but before the dawn of
another day, matters took such shape
that fear of sorrowful consequences,
involving even Michael, set ban on
her impulse to speak. Field, it seems,
had been at last induced to sleep
some hours that evening, and it was
nearly twelve when he awoke and
saw his desk on table near the win
dow. The attendant was nodding in
an easy chair; and, just as the young
officer determind to rouse him, Mrs.
Dade, with the doctor, appeared on
tiptoe at the doorway. For few
minutes they kept him interested in
letters and reports concerning his
fathers condition, the gravity of
which, however, was still withheld
from him. Then there were reports
from Tongue River, brought in by
courier, that had to be told him. But
after q while he would no longer be
denied. He had demanded to see his
desk and his letters.

tendant raised it from the table and
bore it to the bed. 81 found things
