RUSSIA'S HARD TASK
SUPPLYING THE ARMY BY THE
SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
The Experience Of the Army Of the
Potomac at Falmouth During
the Civil War Recalled.

over her single track Siberian railway?
Some light may be thrown upon the
trans Siberian transportation feature of the
Russo-Japanese war, in a manner to be
personally appreciated by at least a large
part OF the old soldier element, by the re-
ply to this question of veteran of the
late civil war-a captain in the 18th Illinois
Cavalry.
1.-THE railroad line from Aqua creek Vir-
ginia, to Falmouth. by which the Union
army under Burnside received its supplies"
said Captain NJ. was less than twenty
miles in length. Those of us who passed
the winter of '62-8 in front of Fredericks-
burg will remember that although the
Army of the Potomac had one of the ablest
OF commissary generals, with his head
quarters at Washington itself. but few
hours by water from Aqua creek, supplies
were by no means invariably on time or of
full measure. Often feed for the cavalry
and artillery horses was scarce, and even
the men at times went on short rattons
While no suffering resulted, much incon-
venience did. The difficulties Of the route
were not great The mud was often deep,
but there was little snow during the win
ter, and the thermometer seldom, and for
short spells only, went much below the
freezing point. There were no mountains
to cross and no ravines to render transport
tation difficult, and there was no enemy
along the entire route, yet the transporta-
ton facilities were really inadequate to
meet the needs of the hundred and some
odd thousand men in the Union camp.

go to Geo. E. Greenes drug store for a

GRAND ARMY STIRRED
Camp Fires Blaze with Joy Over
Escape Of General BedeIPs
War Orderly from a
ParaIYtic's Fate.

When Mr.. Ross @. Duffy, Of No. 18
Russell avenue, Nashua, N H., was sud
denly Frustrated by paralytic shock,
the deepest concern was felt throughout
the town in which he had been promi-
inent official.
Grand Army men were especially So
licitous for in the Civil war Mr.. Duffy
had acted as General Bedell's orderly
while serving with COZ, Third regiment,
New Hampshire Volunteer infantry, and
after the war he became a member of
General Foster Post, G.. A. R, and rose
to be department vice-commander.
The general anxiety felt about him af-
ter his sudden shock in the latter part of
1901, was slightly relieved by the news
that he had come out of state of un-
consciousness which had lasted for five
days, but as week after week went by
and he made no further progress, one
leg remaining paralyzed, it was con-
cluded that the highly honored veteran
must at best remain a cripple for life.
Suddenly to the surprise and delight
of every one Mr., Duffy appeared on the
street in Enthusiastically robust health
and was overwhelmed by congratula-
tions and inquiries:
1.-The regular treatment" said Mr..
Duffy, didn't do bit of good, 30 far
as my paralyzed leg was concerned. Ny
left leg remained cold and dead, and /
had been too active man to be content
to be housed up with one dead leg if
there was any possible way to cure it,

chance. got my clue out of a Boston
paper from the story OF war comrade,

Henry M. stanley's Explorations.
[Boston Record.l

Sir Henry Staney's works of travel
place him high among the ranks of Amer
lean authors. But the exploration which
opened up the mysterious continent and
its strange peoples, and gave immense
prestige to- the narrative of his Journeys
gave him imperishable fame. His find
ing of Livingstone was the romantic hrst
chapter of his three strokes to the heart
of Africa, but it was when he set out on
his 1874 expedition for African eXplora-
tion in the interests of science, human
ity, and civilization that his great work
began. 1t was then that for the hrst time
a white man ever sailed the great inland
sea. the Victoria Nyanza. BY July, 1876
only one of his English companions, Frank
Pocock, had survived He was at Nyan-
give. Livingstone had reached this point,
and gone no farther after l5,OOO miles or
travel and a lifetime of experience. lie
had fought his way for months through
villages of cannibals and among tribes
of dwarfs. Again and again they barely
escaped starvation, but after nearly
wear the little band reached the white
settlements at the mouth of Congo, and
opened the region to the world 1t was
not until 1880 that the region was given
permanent security.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood

on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
