After tha war had closed all ef- forts to find the comrade proved fruitless, and, while at inter- vals word has been received that the man is alive and well. for some unac- countable reason his whereabouts has rema ined mystery. Moved with consuming desire tor find the man the old soldier. who is in business in Los Angeles. will spend the remaining years of his life trying to find his long lost 'bunkie."

Thefts from Hotels.

A certain hotelkeeper in Washington says that the people have no idea of the small depredations that are committed by guests, most of who are people of money enough of their own to refrain. He declares that not long ago he bought 700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and before he had time to learn whether or not the rooms had been supplied, the whole outfit was gone, says the Washing ton Post. "They are drummers, and women and all kinds of people who took ;hem," said he, land probably they did not think it was stealing to take things away from the hotel. AS to downright theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat ter of meals, there is much less of 1t in hotels than you would suppose; but Lord! how they will crib the soap and linen and spoons!"

REMEMBER WOMAN'S GLANCE
Men May Forget the Color of Her Hair, But the Power of Her Eye
 Is Potent.

A woman's eyes are the first objects to attract a mans attention, and they are the last things he remembers about her. Long after he has forgotten the color of her hair, the dimple in her chin and the soft. sweet sound of her voice, the look in her eye remains with him, says an authority on the sub ject.
 He may not be able to single her glove out of a pile of keepsakes; he may have cast her photograph upside down into the waste basket with lot of others; the slippers she made him may have been worn out by his valet, but still some particular turn of her glance, some little trick of dropping her lashes or lifting her brown eyes will be as clear to him as the daylight Ten years after love has been lad away in his little satin-lined casket that glance will rise like Banquo's ghost at the feast and startle him just at the moment when the man is lock- ing most intently into the eyes of an- other woman.
 It Is not the color of a woman's eyes which a man first observes or last re- members. Nine times out of ten man will turn from the glance of . pair of soft brown, cowlike eyes to gaze into the green orbs of the red- headed girl on the other side of tho table, and many a doll-like, blue-eyed beauty weeps because some pug-nosed, tawny-eyed woman has lured away her sweetheart.
 Ask any man the color of his sisters eyes and he will look at you blankly. "Jove." he will remark, TT believe I've forgotten. But they're all right. There's something about them that's catchy" And that is positively all that can be gotten out of him.
 The fact that Becky Sharpe's eyes were green or that Cleopatra's eyes were yellow never interfered with the machinations of those fascinating la dies, nor dulled their regulations as coquettes. Color, size and shape may make an eye beautiful, but they never can give it that something which so many beautiful eyes lack and so many homely ones possess, the power to make a man break bank or sell his overcoat in order to give his wife what she wants.
 When the world was sentimental men called it "soul." Then they grew practical and apathetic and they called it character" But no man will ever know what it is any more than he will ever know why he married the particu- lar woman he picked out or why the cook has left. It is question as subtle and elusive as either of these.

HORSE FALLS IN cISTERN
Then Battles with Water Noccasin for Life-Rescued by
 Eiremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales. of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived a large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile, and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the well. Vol- unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest, climbed down on ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com- bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, a dumb and pars alyzed old man living with his son-in. law. E. Moss, in London, was so over come with fright when fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old, was a robust man, and up to a short time ago was enjoying good health, even work ing at a small blacksmith's forge. One day he suffered a stroke of paralysis. which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-iu-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight. The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over a lamps causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The agOnized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his pOolt1Ou AS uduoS WSI0 buOIuCA OO before they had made much progress, and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur- prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, MT. Herring's health has im- proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to a hospital, where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or dained by God and We Will
 Always Have It.

The cornerstone of monument to be erected in Salem Fields cemetery, Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the course of his remarks MT. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned survival of bar- barism." This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel B. Sickles. retired. who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we are assembled in . cemetery" said Gen. Sickles, "this is not funeral occasion. No death is more glorious than death for one's country. know many think that wars are dreadful, but we have had our wars since the world began, and we shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found- ed through war. Would George III. have agreed to- arbitration to let us IOuno all lnuepeHOenC government! NO. We have liberty because our fathers fought seven years for independence. and we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.

WONDERS IN MECHANICS.
Some That Were Worked by Young
 Americans with a Genius for ,r Invention.

A young man who at 21 had been be- chemical department of a mill and had lectured upon nlLious-oXide gas throughout the country patented the rotating chamber for pistol. It was not considered particularly valuable un. til after his first company that made it had failed and fights in Texas and with the Seminoles in Florida proved it's worth The Mexican war made de- mand for it.
 The same mechanic, says the Worlds Work, who did so much for early ax-making developed details in revolver-making. The American plan of not hesitating at the cost of new appliances was never better shown than in this big armory. The owner the mining of harbors with torpedoes for defense. and he was the first to lay . submarine electric cable. One day . young man from Vermont came to his works.
 What can you dor" asked tho su- perintendent
 "I'm . machinist, . toolmaker and . diesinker and can play . horn in . band." was the reply.
 He went to work tho next day. 4 few years later he multiplied by 40 the value of certain labor in another fac tory. and by another invention saved the company $50,000 on contracts ai- ready made. Later, with sewing ma chine company, he forged shuttles from one piece of bar steel and cut previous costs in half. Since that time he has made forgings by the use of drops weighing as much as 8 ton dropping with dies sometimes six feet upon iron, steel and copper. An example of his in- ventive genius is the instance of his forging offhand from single piece of copper commutator bars for electric dynamos after the electrician in charge had said that such scheme was im- DOSSibl0

When Archbishop Farley was private chamberlain to the late Pope Leo. some 20 years ago, he was called upon to meet all sorts of persons. Many of them measured wits with him. and few scored victory. On one occasion a young Frenchman tried his best to anger the prelate, then Mons. Farley. by scofang at religion and clergymen. Failing in this, he resorted to sheer impotence. saying: 'T am informed that in Mada- gascar. whenever they hang 8 priest. they hang donkey along with him."
 The young man laughed, and Mons. Farley, looking at him mildly, said: "Well, let us both be thankful, my young friend, that we are not in Madagas- ca-."
