one OF the gaps to the east OF Chat

They surrounded the suffers tent
that night, but, much to their surprise,
they found the sutler awake and very
anxious They told him they came for
the beer, which he was not allowed to
sell to enlisted men, and again they
were surprised when the sutler said
that II they insisted on having the
beer at I'VE cents a glass, he would
have to let them have it, as he was
not strong enough to resist. The boys
were startled, but firm. Word was
passed to the camps in the rear, and
that night the sutIer sold all his beer,
and a good many other things.
The boys we're in great giee over
having inundated the sutler. but
when forward movement was order
ed next morning they realized that
they had teen bambOOzled, as it were,
and that the sutler, by selling his beer
at reasonable rate, had sold out
to the beer drinkers the most OF his

One Mans Ideal Woman

There are lots Of pretty women
and lots Of beautiful dolls, but there
are none too many really beautiful
women, measured by the standard set
up at the present day, says the Pitts
burg Press
A beautiful woman, first Of all, must
have clearly cut, regular features.
She must have a skin above re-
prOach, untouched by rouge or pow
der.
She must have full, clear eyes, with
the eyelashes long and curling up
ward Her eyebrows must be finely
marked, slightly arched, long and mar
row, yet the narrow line should be
thickly covered, so as to be well
marked, as If penciled-
She must have a straight nose, yet
delicate, neither feshy nor pointed
nor broad at the. tip, with the nostrils
free and flexible, and mouth must be
rather too large than too small, with
lips full and plump and rosy red.
Even an exquisitely shaped mouth has
no charm without expression.
Her regular teeth Of moderate size,
pearly white, with full enamel, should
show when she is smiling
She must have a chin neither sharp

against the charge Of an Alabama

boys with:

Strange story of = $50 Sill.

County Judge W. H. Prewitt, who
now lies critically Ill at his home in
this city, with very little hope Of his
recovery, has in his possession a $50
bill which has connected with it a pa
thetic story Of our civil war. While
gathering together and arranging his
personal effects, in company with sew
eral friends, on Tuesday, he pulled
from an old box a $50 bill. yellow
with age, and remarked: This must
not be spent during my lifetime
He then related the following story:
Just after the battle Of PerryviIIe I
found two young Confederate soldiers
two boys about seventeen OF eight
cen years Of age-lying wounded up
on the field. I took them to my home,
then in the neighbOrhOOd Of the battle
field, and took care Of them for sew
eral weeks, until they had almost re-
covered from their wounds. One morn
ing company Of federal soldiers sur
rounded my house and took US prfs-
Oners to DanyiIle, where they kept US
for several days before taking the BOYS
to prison When the lads were about
to be taken away they gave me this
$50 bill for taking care Of them. re-
fused at first, but they insisted that
take the money, for it would be taken
away from them anyway, and would
just as soon have it as anybody. I
finally consented. They gave me the
bill and babe ne gOod-by as they went
to prison This was forty-two years
ago." said the judge, and I have
neither heard nor seen anything Of
the young soldiers since. Many times
I have been broke and in need Of a
dollar, but I. never had a desire to
spend the bill. Here it is; it belongs

THE Too-READY REVOLVER.

There would be fewer murders in
the Unitei States like the unprovoked
assassination Of Andrew H. Green
were proper legislation enacted and
enforced in every state Of the union
restricting the sale Of pistols and
knives under reasonable regulations
In Great Britain a movement is on
foot to require proper safeguards in
the sale Of firearms. There has been
too much laxity and injurious license
in such matters in this country.
There ought to be a law in every
commonwealth In this republic laying
down barriers Of genuine weight
against the carrying Of reyOlvers
without permits from the proper au-
thOrities, and the granting Of such
permits ought to be hedged about
with thorough precautions More
over, any and every offender against
such a statute should be compelled to
serve a term Of imprisonment and
not be allowed to escape punishment

USE or VAST FORTUNES.

Vast accommodations OF money al
ways we're, and always viii be, Inv
teresting, but it is obviously dimcult
for the accommodating individual to
make more than a moderate fortune
minister to his personal happiness,
A very big fortune determines what
his occupations shall be, and on what
he shall put his mind, but il has not
much to do with determining how
much satisfaction he shall get out OF
life. The great Office of accumulated
wealth is to promote civilization TO
realize new possibilities Of develop
ment- When wealth can buy new
knowledge for mankind; when it can
help a lower race to rise a little,
higher race to rise still more, it is
doing about the only thing 1t can
hope to do which is highly important
The more thoughtful Of our very rich
men seem to realize this They give
money most readily for the spread Of
knowledge and the discovery Of new
knowledge. For the relief Of suffer
ing they are less sOlicitOus. AS is
natural, considering their training,
they want to do things that viii pay;
that seem to be scientifically useful.
The proportion of their incomes that
our richest men spend for their own
pleasure is a mere bagatelle. What
they don't spend at all Immediately
becomes productive capital, and a
large part of what they give away
promotes the spread Of knowledge

that the art Of war consisted in get

to do this so far. It is supposed the
