The flags that proudly waved; she heard

She saw the tattered banners falling
About the broken stats as one by one

Flowers for the graves of those whose
fight was done.
She heard the tramping Of ten thousand
feet
AS the long line swept round the crowded
square,
She heard the incessant hum
That filled the warm with blossom scent

TRAINER FOUGHT FOR LIFE.
Wrestling Bout With Lion Turns to
Grim Reality.

An athlete named Rey, connected
with the Bostock animal show, had
narrow escape from death one day
this week, says Paris special to the
Kansas City Journal. He was en-
gagged in putting the wrestling lion,
Brutus, through his daily practice,
when the brute Unexpectedly fastened
it's teeth in his jacket. The trainer
stopped wrestling and tried to Olsen
gage himself by Withdrawing from the
jacket and leaving it in the lions pos
session.
But he was unable to do this, and
Brutus, withouet becoming actually
savage, warmed to the encounter and
began to tear the trainer about the
ing freely from fifty wounds, Rey, who
is a powerful, athletic young fellow
kept his head, and, realizing that he
was at the mercy of the brute II he
fell, kept him off as best he could.
BY this time Mr.. Bostock and his
assistants had gathered around the
cage trying to rescue the trainer anC
watched with apprehension the reals
tic combat between the man and the
lion. The wrestling bout, which hat
commenced in the usual playful man
ner, had developed into a grim con
test, in which one of the combatant'
was fighting for his life, and for Full!
two minutes his fate seemed sealed
Rey kept up the unequal contest, blu
further difficulty in the way of hi
rescue was the fact that in a cag'
communicating with that of Brutus {
companion lion was making desperate
efforts to force an entry through
half open door.
At last Brutus was lassooed by MI
Bostock and dragged into the adjoin
| ing cage. After Rey had been bar
daged in the Hippodrome infirmary h
was taken to the Rothschild hospital
where the doctors said if blood poison
ing did not set in, they hoped to saw
him.

Cost of Railway Mail Service.

Americans pay more for transporta-
ton of mail than all the other peoples
of the world combined. In the last
year for which comparative figures
are available Q90D it cost us $685.
500 900 for railroad transportation or
mail alone. All the other countries
in the world paid for transportation
by all means only $S70OO,OOO, or ST.
100000 less than we alone paid.
Freight and passenger rates have gone
down. They are cheaper here than
abroad; express companies pay the
railroads about half the rates they
charge the government, and yet the
postoffice department continues to
pay for the transportation of mail just
as much as it paid thirty years ago
while all other transportation rates
have greatly decreased in that time

Conservators of Peace.

The G.. A. R., as an organization,
has been one of the greatest conserv'
ators of peace because its members
realize more fully than any one else
could the cost of war both in blood
and treasure. The wounds and dis
ease contracted by them in the civil
war are ever present reminders of its
cost. They would have been ready
to have sacrificed much before engag'
ing in such another struggle.
They have been the leaders Of all
movements tending to higher patriot
ism and loyal service to their country
They have fostered and encouraged
every effort looking to more loyal cit
izenship They have taught the world
a lesson in fraternity extending moi
only to their own members, but
to the men Of the south who
fought against them, and they have
done and are doing more to reunitt
the two sections of our country a:
patriotic American citizens than an!
other agency or society.

WHEN THE APPETITE BALks.
Change of Diet the Proper Thing to
Set IL Riqht.

Change of Diet the Proper Thing to
Set 1t Right.
When the appetite of the family be-
gins to falter and every one feels out
of sorts try leaving the meat out OF
the daily menu for a few days. Eat
fruit and green things in large quanti-
ties. Craps are said to be a specific
for malaria, and fortunately they grow
beautifully in malarial communities.
Doctors prescribe lettuce, tomatoes
and lemons for liver troubles, but sal
ads should have little vinegar in them
when eaten for health's sake. Pine
apple is delicious breakfast fruit and
is believed to be very efficacious for
diseases Of the throat. Grape fruit,
also chicory and lettuce salad, with
plain oil and vinegar dressing, are ex-
cellent for the nerves.
The English people eat watercress
plentifully, believing that it is a rem
edy for lung troubles. Figs and dates
at night are not only delicious little
bedtime bite but decidedly whole
some.
Don't drink extremely cold things
early in the morning or late at night
and don't go to bed too early. Too
much sleep is not good for digestion
A week or two of dieting on these
lines will rest the system and encour
age tired appetitees.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play?

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements or
the report are susceptible of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most OF
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation Of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

The night was bitter cold. 1t was
an unpleasant night altogether to be
out in. for the wind intensified the
raw chill in the air and carried WIN
it sharp particles of sleet that drove
into the face and stung. Then, TOO,
the branches of the trees overhead
swayed ominously, and it seemed tnat
their creaking might at any moment
be succeeded by the sharp crack OF
rent timber, and flying oak branches
are hard to dodge in the dark. In

moved closer into the shelter OF one

well in the dense shadow of the wall,
however, and avoiding the gravel CT

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC CHIckAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System Of Lighting Mill

Successful-Six and One-Half Miles
Of Mains-slxty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ca, May 81
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles OF
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave.
nues Of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant SO evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied Of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number Of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
| eminent institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as we'll as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, Ga manufactured
product for sale at nominal price,,
is absolutely safe and gives a beau
tiful white light soothing to the eyes
and nerves. 1t can be produced any
wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
1t is a matter for national congratu'
lation that in identifying so historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best including the lighting sys-
tenn, has been deemed good enough
for the American people.

nurses them, but If he does he goes
into a back room to do it. Just once

quailed at any proposed ordeal. The
