All of the commissioned officers are

Newspapers that give New Orleans
as the birthplace of the late George
Francis Train, are way off, for he was
born in Boston, Mass, and was nearly
three years older than ] am. 1t is true
that the family went to New Orleans
to live while George was an infant,
but at four years of age he came back
to Boston and was sent out to his
srandfather's farm at Walthafn, where
he staid until he was 49, when he en-
tered the once famous shipping house
of Enoch, Train & Co., in Boston. Not
withstanding all the benefits he de-
rived from his connection with this
great firm, which bore his family name,
IN the absence of a balance wheel, or
a rudder his life eventually became
failure-a stupendous failure. Alas!
poor George, / knew him well in his
better DAYS and in his early decline.

and Marshall P. Wilder and other dis

loyal to the United States, body OF
them were enlisted in the capacity OF
scouts. These scouts were of great
help in obtaining information of the
enemy and in some cases the water

other companies were enlisted from
the different tribes, with the result Of
the Provisional Battalion, Philippine
Scouts, being formed and made part
Of the regular army.
The scoNs wear the regulation army
uniforms and while at the fair they
will receive the regular army pay and

pay is slightly smaller than that of
the American soldier. It is said that
the battalion is one of the best drilled

so many cases of dyspepsia suffer on
and on without any relief, trying this
medicine and that medicine, is that
these conditions are not recognized
as catarrh of the stomach.
Any one suffering from dyspepsia,
having tried the ordinary remedies
without relief, would be safe to as

begin a course of Peruna. Peruna is
