MADE NO SHOES FOR REss.
Irish Soldier From Massachusetts, Re.
fused, Though Prisoner Of War.

Boston Globe: A white haired,
elderly mar stood in Doris hall at the
state house the other day intently gaz-
ing at the battle flags of the Massa-
chusetts regiments that fought to pre-
serve the union from 1861 to 1865. He
fingered long and seemed to be greatly
interested in the torn and tattered
standards. A visitor noticed the man,
and, stepping up to him, said:
You appear to be interested In
those flags"
Il think l have a right TO be. sir"
replied the old gentleman. Tina nag,
said he. pointing to the shot-rlddled
colors of the 18th regiment, was cap
tured from me in front of Petersburg
by the rebels June %, 1864. Thirty
years afterward, by an act of congress-.
it was returned to the state. and 1 had
the honor Of delivering 1t to the gov
ernor of the commonwealth"
That's remarkable" said the visitor.
and the two fell to talking about the
stirring days of the war, and the diff
ferent engagements that the 18th regi-
ment participated in. The color bearer
was Sergeant Michael Scannell, OF
Lynn. who. although eight
years old, is hale and hearty, and is
known by every Grand Army man in
Essex county. Little by little Scannell
was induced to tell the story OF the
capture OF the colors at Petersburg.
I'VE were brigaded with the 42d

To Keep Rid Of Moths.

This is a season OF the year when
provfdent housewives have all the
closets thoroughly renovated. as 1t il
the month in which the moths do their
work. Everything should be removed
from the closet. all boxes opened and
their contents carefully examined. Any
thing in the shape OF wool must be
hung In the open for q few hours,
thoroughly brushed and wrapped Up
In a clean piece of cloth. several moth
balls being inserted In the package.
Nothing is more wholesome for a closet
thai calcimine.
1t should be allowed to dry thor
oughly before the door is closed.
Shelves n drawers should be renpv-
ed and thoroughly cleansed. 1t is even
better If possible to treat them to sew
eral coats OF fresh paint. a. there is
nothing that kills moths or vernin
generally soone than fresh paint.
In addition to his thorough clean
ing many housewives paint the crev-
ices and seams in the floor with oil
of turpentine or with oil of cedar. But
these are really not necessary II moths
are not discovered in the closet.
This is. as well, the mont to put
away winter clothes. Naturally, II the
pocketbook is a long one. valuable furs
of all kinds are sent either TO a furrier
or to cold storage to be kept during the
warn months. 1t is. however, very
possible to take care OF them at home
and run practically no chances of their
being destroyed by moths.
Each article should be thoroughly
aired and thoroughly brushed; In fact.
many times it will be found in the
end more economical IL they are sent
to the cleaners or tailor's and thor
oughly %sponged. as dirt is the moths
most certain means Of subsistence.
In putting away fur-lined garments
or articles trimmed with ur, news
papers should be spread over the gar
ment so that when 1t is folded 40 two
fur surfaces come in contact. A few
moth balls should be used, and the ar
ticle to be stored away wrapped in
paper or in close. coarse muslin. The
object is to exclude the air as we'll as
to hermetically the package SO that
insects cannot enter into ii.

Hon. John Tighe. No. 9S Remsen ST.,

"Peruna has my hearty Endorsement,

Color of Whisky and It's Aoe.

wide range of shades, and a spirit

not be colored to the same extent as a

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He NOW
Rejoices In Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor" he
says. "I was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which / learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles. and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but il it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills il
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.

Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco.

Railway Rate Lesi.l.tton.

At the biennial convention Of the Or.
der of Railway Conductors, recently

timents as to the effect OF proposed
railway rate legislation on the l,3OO,-

Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvisabili
ty of legislation vesting in the hands
of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil-
ity. of the railroads to stand the reduc-
ton. especially in view Of the increased
cost of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because the pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea Of American jurispru-
dence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate. indict. try. condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
Of the carriers. pending appeal. which
is manifestly inequitable."

railway management and operation
