The Things That Most Impressed q

what impressed you most?' said
the gushing girl to the woman who
had just returned from a trip abroad
''You must have seen such wonderful
things"
The woman who had travelled
thought deeply few minutes; then
she said slowly: 4 think 1t was the
lack of napkins in Scotland. Yes, that
was it. My dear, there isn't sign Of
a napkin on the tables in Scotland. If
you ask for one, you may get it, and
then again you may not. I was en-
tertained in the homes Of some Of the
finest people in Scotland, and never a
napkin did get.
1.-THE next most impressive thing
was the size Of the coins in England.

GUS energy trying ways and means to
stuff those cart wheels into my little
purse. One day, when my pocketbook
had become unusually clumsy, I be-
came almost historical, and that night
I dreamed that / was using belt
buckles for the coin of the realm.
There's one queer. thing, though.
You know never could get it through

you give them some money. and it's

A LESSON IN MANNERS.

The Way q Clever American Wouaa0
Managed n Duke.
A story which belongs to time sev-
eral years ago when an English duke
was a much sought after parsonage In
New York society is told by Mr.. James
L. Ford in 1.-The Brazen Calf
This duke, contemptuously noting
the eagerness with which New York
ers fawned upon him. had formed the
habit of going out to dinner without
troubling himself to put on evening
dress. A lady had invited him to din
ner without knowing of this peculiar
ity and was awaiting his arrival when
her butler opened the door and cast a
glance at her over the heads of inter-
vening guests which said plainly that
something was wrong.
She FASTENED into the hall to find the
duke standing there clad in the checked
sack suit and flaming red tie which
had seemed to him good enough" for
a dinner party of American calf wor-
shippers. This woman, however. had
presence Of mind, and she advanced
upon him radiant and smiling.
NO. she said decisively as she took
him by the hand; II won't accept any
excuses. You've come round to tell me
why it is that you can't dine here to-
night. and it's ever so much nicer Of
you to do that than just to send a note
The dinners little late. and you've
just time to 60 home and dress and be
back here before we begin"
The nobleman opened his mouth to
reply, but his hostess shut him of in a
second: no; you needn't make any
explanations or excuses. Remember,
you've only twenty minutes, so you
must hurry"
A moment later the astounded duke
found himself hurrying toward his ho-
tel and perhaps wondering what new
social force it was that was impelling
him in that direction.

General GordOn,s wife.

Through the entire civil war General
Gordon's wife accompanied him, never
leaving his side save when the en-
igencies of campaign made her pres
ence impossible. To the faithful de-
votion Of his wife General Gordon
owed his life. In the bloody battle Of
Sharpsburg, Gordon, while in the
midst of the carnage, was shot five
times. AS soon as he fell his wife
rushed to his side and carried him to
safety, stanching the flow of blood and
attending his wounds until medical aid
could be procured. She remained with
him in the hospital until he had recov-
cred, and when General Gordon went
back to join his command Mrs. Fan
ME HARRISON Gordon followed her hus-
band.

The Annual Bath In the GanEes.
The largest regular assemblage of
people in the world is said to be the
crowd which gathers annually at
Benares, in India, to battle in the
Gauges. A large temple, or rather a
series of buildings, is on the shore at
this point, while steps reach down to
the waters edge. The Hindoos crowd
upon this bank in enormous numbers,
the crowd at times numbering upward
OF $4,000. As the natives are dressed
In the brightest colors, the crowd gives
the impression Of an enormous bed of

The Banners New MalIer.

We are pleased to announce to our
subscribers that we have installed a
Mustang mailer as a part of our Office
furniture and that in the future the SUBJ
scriber's name viii always be printed on
his paper, as will also the date on which
his subscription expires. The dates are
abbreviated and printed thus:
81 dec o.
Ike above date printed after sub
scribers name would indicate that his
paper was paid for until the last day in
this year, or written out in full the date
would be December 81, 1904. We do
not believe that we have a subscriber on
our list who will not at once understand
the new system. In fact, it is an old
one, for many weekly newspapers have
made use of it for years, while nearly
all dailies have such a mailing machine,
or one of its class.
Another thing We wish to call the sub
scriber's attention to is keeping his sub
scription paid up. We believe the great
majority of our subscribers want to paw
for their paper, and that not one will be
in any wise miffed after seeing this in
print. 1t is not intended for one more
than for another.
The mailer will represent a saving to
the Office in labor, time and money, and
it takes money to run newspaper (even
country weekly and as it also con-
veniences the subscriber, for he no
longer has to write us to learn his date
as heretofore, we believe that all con-
cerned will be pleased to note the change.

AT FORT PILLOW.


Yon shudder as you think upon
The carnage of the grim report,
The desolation when we won
The inner trenches of the fort.
But there are deeds you may not know,
That scourge the pulses into strife;
Dark memories of deathless woe
Pointing the bayonet and knife.
The house is ashes where dwelt,
Beyond the mighty inland sea;
The tombstones shattered where I knet,
By that old church at Point Coupee.
The Yankee fiends, that came with fire,
Camped on the consecrated sod,
And trampled in the dust and mire-
The Holy Eucharist OF God!
The spot where darling mother sleeps,
Beneath the glimpse of yon sad moon,
Is crushed, with splintered marble heaps,
To stall the horse of some dragon.
God! when ponder that black day
1t makes my frantic spirit vince;
I marched-with Longstreet-fa away,
But have beheld the ravage since.
The tears are hot upon my face,
When thinking what bleak fate befell
The only sister of our race
A thing too horrible to tell.
They say that, ere her senses fled,
She rescue of her brothers cried;
Then feebly bowed her stricken head,
Too pure to live thus-so she died..
Two of those brothers heard no plea;
With their proud hearts forever still
John shrouded by the Tennessee,
And Arthur there at Malvern Hill.
But have heard it everywhere,
Vibrating like a passing knell;
IT'S as perpetual as the air,
And solemn as a funeral bell.

By scorched lagoon and murky swamp
My wrath was never in the lurch;
I've killed the picket in his camp,
And many pilot on his perch.
With steady rifle, sharpened brand,
A week ago, upon my steed,
With Forrest and his warrior band,
l made the hell-hounds writhe and
bleed.
You should have seen our leader go
Upon the battles burning marge,
Swooping, like falcon, On the foe,
Heading the gray lines iron charge!
All outcasts from our ruined marts,
We heard tn undying serpent hiss,
And in the desert of our hearts
The fatal spell of Nemesis.
The Southern yell rang loud and high
The moment that we Numbered in,
Shifting the demons lip and thigh,
Cleaving them to the very chin.
My right arm barred for fiercer play,
The left one held the rein in slack;
In all the fury of the fray
l sought the white man, not the
black.
The dabbled clots of brain and gore
Across the swirling sabers ran;
To me each brutal visage bore
The front of one accursed man.
Throbbing along the frenzied vein,
My blood seemed kindled into song
The death-dirge OF the sacred slain,
The slogan of immortal wrong.
It glared athwart the dripping glaves,
1t blazed in each avenging eye
The thought of desecrated graves,
And some lone sisters desperate cry.
