Father and Son.

The most remarkable case L ever
noted of individual friendliness be-
tween Northern and Southern soldiers
occurred at a camp on the Rapidan.
Videttes of the opposing armies were
stationed on either bank of the mar
row stream. Just after dark one night
the silence was broken by the shout:
Hello, Johnny Reb," from Union
man. He was answered in moment
by his opposite sentry with Hello,
Johnny Yank." Then this colloquy oc-
Cured: "Who are your" Taylor, of
Company A. First Massachusetts,.
Who are your Taylor, Of Company
E, Fifth Louisiana" What is your
first name" Charles E. WHAT is
yours?' "Charles E., too" The pecu-
liar coincidence attracted attention
from all of the two armies within
hearing, and they listened to the
story yelled across the river from
one army to another. on the eve of
battle. 1t developed that they were
father and son. The former had Op-
posed his sons marriage to a factory
girl and the son had married just che
same. He aud his bride had taken
the money the wealthy farmer had
allotted to him, and suddenly disap-
peared. Then the father relentel, AMI
continued an unavailing search until
the war had called him. The son had
gone to New Orleans, it transpired,
and there had gone into business AMI
grown wealthy. He had been imbued
with the Southern spirit by his sur
roundings and had taken up South
ern arms. Next day two boats. I'M
der flags of truce, met In the river
and two armies witnessed the reun-
ion. The following morning Charles
E. Taylor. Jr.. was missing from the
command. and we never saw him IN
til after Appomattox. when he walk
ed into camp and told us he had gone
over, taken the oath, and gone to
the old home, where he had remained
with his wife until Lees surrender
made it safe to see his old comrades.
His desertion had been to avoid fight
ing his father.-C. E. W.

improve us soon as began to take them,
and when I had taken three boxes was a
well woman. Everyone wonders how I
keep SO well and am able to care for my
home and six children without help.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
"My Oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. gave some pills to her.
She took only few boxes, but they cured
her tree bles, and caused her to develop
into perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why we recon-
mend them to others"
Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at
Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and
is well known, as she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir-
teen years. Her story shows that a
medicine which makes the blood sound
and the nerves strong, overcomes vari-

every household. Dr. Williams Pink Pills

Creatures Without Eyes.

Marvellous are the lives Of creatures
condemned to live always in darkness
as black as night. One of these crea-
lures is very rare specimen and is
styled the cavern beetle. 1t was first
discovered some seventy years ago in
an Austrian cave, the grotto of Adeis-
berg. One specimen only was caught
and, though its discoverer offered a
prize of $25 for another, it was four
teen years before a second was found.
Brought out from its gloomy haunts
into the light of the sun, it dies al.
most Immediately. The sunlight seems
to witler and shrivel up these insects.

in front of a hot fire. Yet, in spite of
this fact, it is known that the blind
cave creatures are descended from 9th.

SCREAMED AT NIGHT.

Baby Scratched Until Face Was Raw
aud Bleeding = Eczema Cured by
Cuticura.
For over two years my little baby
girl suffered with raw, itching and
painful eczema on her head and face,
the pain causing her to scream day
and night, and my wife could get no
rest. We tried several doctors, but
without success. Unless we kept her
hands tied she would scratch until her
face was like raw beef. One cake of
Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment completely cured her,
healing her face without mark or blem-

Publishine of the Banns

The custom Of publishing the banns
Of marriage dates back to the primi-
tive church, for Tertullian, who died
A. D. 24O, says that warning of in
tended marriages was given among the
early Christians.
1t appears that the publication of
banns was habitual in many places
long before there was any general law
on the subject, since Gregory ". Q19S-
1915, speaks Of the banns being given
out in church, according to custom.
The practice was introduced into
France about the ninth century, and
in 1116 was enforced in the diocese of
Paris.
The earliest enactment on the sub
jact in England vsas an order made in
the synod of Westminster in 1900 to
the effect that no marriage should be
celebrated TIL the banns had been
published in the church on three sew
eral Sundays or feast days. This rule
was made obligatory throughout the
church by the fourth Lateran council,
held in Rome in 1915.

tance from the Goals, and by the dex-
turning around and around-that the
roasting process might proceed prop
erly. Out Of the sky had dropped
mess Of sweet potatoes, with some
picked cabbage, much like sauer-
kraut, which went to complete our
Christmas dinner. Our mess, COM
posed of the colonel, the surgeon. and
the adjutant, sat close by to watch
proceedings, to "shoo away" self-invit-
ed guests who had been attracted to
our campfire by the aroma of the
roasting turkey, and, incidentally, to
wipe our watering mouths and fire.
quently ask Sam II he could not hurry
matters along little faster, as we
had our appetites with us. 1t seemed
to us hungry souls that never before
did it take SO long to roast a turkey.
AS We We're nearing the completion
of the repast, little rainstorm passed
over, but soon the sun shope brightly,
showing the tops of the mountains
tipped with snow. We were all in a
frame of mind to enjoy this beautiful
but fleeting scene, when Sam, our
cook, pointing to the snow-capped
mountains, said: Gentlemen, there
is ice cream for dessert; help your
selves"
As 1 look back now through the
vista Of forty years, never before nor
since did a Christmas dinner taste so
good as this one Of turkey, sweet po-
tatoes and sauer kraut, all topped with
ice cream from the mOuntains.-The-

"Double Slows

A soldier in Company d. 24th Massa-
chusetts Infantry Volunteers, quite
wag in his way, was once put in the
regimental guard-house, for some tri-
vial offense, writes Philip G.. Greely in
the Veterans Advocate. The reader
will remember, If he served his coun-
try during the war. how much offend
ers were degraded and punished by
being forced to perform police duty
about camp and other menial work,
and how cheerfully and willingly they
fell in for this service. The Company
II man was an exception, as will ap-
pear by the following: He was honor
ed one morning by being placed in
command Of the squad that was to
sweep the company streets, and as
they were to march by regi-
mental headquarters, he resolved
to show Colonel Francis A.
Osburn and his associates with what
alacrity and fidelity they were about
to enter upon their duties. So just be-
fore reaching the coloners tent he halt
ed his squad and called them to at
tention. He cautioned them to remem-
ber that they were soldiers: told them
to ''brace up" as they were about to
pass in review; gave the order, right
shoulder shift" and then, in a loud
voice, forward march," AS the inn
posing procession neared the ColOnels
headquarters the command was given,
shoulder arms" at which all the
brooms were brought down with the
regularity of clock work. By this time
it had become noised about that some
thing unusual was going on, and men
ran from all directions to see the fun.
The field and staff Of the regiment
stood in front Of their tents, and quite
a number of staff officers from brigade
and division headquarters happened to
be present. Just as all were wonder
ing what was coming next, the COM
mander of the broom brigade brought
matters to a climax by crying out at
the top Of his voice, double slow,
marchr' and this last order, amid
screams Of laughter, was strictly obey
ed.

A Postponed christmas Feast.

December, 1S63-the night before
Christmas Cthe time above all others
when Our thoughts were of home)-
found the Seventh Ohio cavalry on out
post duty, closely observing the vet
eran army of General Longstreet, then
in upper east Tennessee.
The Christmas feast was by no
means ready for either the Confed-
crate or Union troops in east Ten
nessee, as both armies were then liv-
ing off the country, which had long
before been almost denuded of every
edible thing suitable for man or beast.
The veteran cavalrymen of our regi-
ment were sharing their exceedingly
light retiOns with their horses-tive
nubbins of corn per day for each man
and his horse being the generous al
lowance from our limited supplies.
Under this circumstance it was nee
essary to postpone our Christmas din
ner until the February following. By
this time Longstreet had retired from
eastern Tennessee to rejoin General
Lees army, preparatory to the cam
paign In Virginia against General
Grant.
in February We found ourselves re-
lieved from duty in close proximity
to the enemy, and in order to recupe-
rate our men and horses, took station
in Tuckaleechee cove, at the base of
the Great Smoky mountains, south of
Knoxville and near the North Carolina
line. Here there was fairly good
grazing for our horses and moderate
foraging opportunities for the men. 1t

ary, that we had our Christmas dinner.
