A PRANK OF LONG AGO.
How tho Mischievous Boys Of New
England Shut All the Pew Doors
and Created a Scene.

Long, long ago church pews were
made with very high backs, and tall
doors guarded the entrances to them.
Wood, then as now, expanded and
contracted with the weather. Els.
pecially OH damp, rainy days would
these doors stick In q most annoying
way. No special trouble was noticed
from this cause, because many of the
doors were left open, thus giving the
pew frames q chance to give way q
little. Only a slight tug. or pull was
necessary when the good folks assem-
bled for service on Sunday mornings.
Some lads noticed that II all the doors
were shut the whole line would be SO
tightly pressed together that it would
require the utmost strength of man
to open the doors. When were boys
without mischief? Not within the
memory of man. These boys got into
church before service, and by using
their combined strength succeeded In
closing every door. Then they await.
ed developments. One sedate church.
goer after another, after a struggle
| and an unbecoming redness Of face,
tried to enter through his pew door.
It did not yield until a ripping squeak
or a noisy bang disturbed the quiet
ness of the place. The boys ever
after remembered the expanding pow.
er of wood, and the story is told to
impress that fact instead of putting
mischief into boys heads. Pews are
not made that way any longer, SO there
is slight chance of the experiment be-
ing tried in our generation.

oBEYING ORDERS.
Incidents Which Show How Mis-
takes May Be Made by Too Strict
or Too Lax Observance Of Orders.

1t is an interesting fact that while one
conspicuous commander in the civil
war has been criticised for his too strict
obedience to orders, another gallant Of
ficer in the same way is just now being
blamed for disobeying orders while
serving in the Indidan country. Gen.
Robert E. Lee, who talked little and was
one of the most modest and retiring men
who ever shone in public life, is credited
with the saying that if at the battle Of
Gettysburg Gen. Ewell, when ordered to
occupy the village, had construed his
orders with sufficient liberaltiy to in
clude the heights just out of the village,
the results of the greatest battle of the
war might have been entirely different.
Every one who has visited this his
toric field or has studied it's topography
knows that the heights comprising
Culps hill, at the very edge of the vii
lage of Gettysburg, Cemetery hill, Lit
tie Round Top and Big Round Top were
defensive positions Of the most superior
kind, and when Gen. Ewell occupied tho
village, but not the heights just beyond,
he did the Army of the Potomac serv-
ice which was an Offset to a number Of
beatings he had inflicted one previous
occasions. For two days Lees army as
sailed these heights, but it was like the
waves dashing against old Montauk.
Lee withdrew, and the confederacy
commenced it's decline from that day.
Did Ewell err in constituting his orders
literally?
No more gallant officer ever sat in
the saddle than Gen. George A. Custer.
He went west, covered with laurels
won in the civil war, to fight the Indians.
It appears from correspondence now ap-
pearing that Custer made his attack at
Little Big Horn on June rs, 1876, in d.
rect disobedience to orders given by Gen.
Terry, to the effect that he was to keep
in touch with the main column, and not
cut adrift from it. Custer, with 600
troopers, planned an attack under an
entire Misrepresentation, upon 5000 to
5000 Indians, but the plans failed, anu
only about 200 of Clusters men were in
the charge with him, and they were all
moved down like grass Did Custer err
in disregarding his orders to keep in
touch with the main column and not
act in Independently?
If Gettysburg had been victory for the
confederates, instead of disastrous de-
feat. nothing would ever have been
heard of Gen. Ewell's too literal inter-
pretation of orders. If Gen. Clusters
plan to stampede the Indians at Little
Big Horn, in the Yellowstone valley.
had been successful, people would not
NOW be accusing that gallant pioneer
rough rider OF disobeyipe orders.

THE ARMY MULE.
He Cuts Up Various Capers and Puts
Two Armies Into Frenzied
Commotion.

Everybody has read Of the army
mule" said an old army officer, but the
man who went down to the front in the
time of war knew him for the cEtter he
was. AS Sheridan and Early confronted
each other in the Shenandoah valley,
drove of mules was forwarded from
Washington. Among them was one
which attracted attention by his un-
usually long neck. It was the general
opinion that nature started In to make
him q giraffe, but changed her mind
after finishing his neck. 1t was day or
two before anyone discovered what the
extra two feet had been put into his
neck for. Then the beast got his bear
ings and sent forth such brays as had
never been heard before, even about an
army camp. He could outbray anything
on legs. He could wake up more men
with one effort than any score of
mules could by braying for an
hour. After the third night of his ar
rival the teamster to whose lot he fell
was ordered to take him two miles to the
rear, but even then his tones reached the
ears Of 10000 men, and his jaws had to
be tied. ....
'"This mule differed from other mules,
not only in length of neck, but in hav-
ing feelings to be hurt. When they
choked off his bray they grieved and
wounded him, and he determined on re-
venge After day he slipped his halter
and made his way on to neutral ground.
The videttes and pickets on both sides
tried to capture him, but it was no 90.
On the second night of his liberty, just
after the change of pickets, the mule sud-
denly opened fire. against the federal
lines. He came down on the left flank
at a gallop, braying as he came, and
inside of three minutes he had routed out
5000 soldiers and got them into line. In
the ears of the half-asleep men his
brays sounded like cheers, and our lines
had scarcely been formed when We began
firing A minute later the confederates
were under arms and blazing Gway, be-
lieving it was night attack, aEi it was
subsequently figured out that at least
10000 bullets were fired by both sides.
Not one of them even grazed that mule.
Our fire halted him for a time, but, brac-
ing up for the occasion, he presently
came charging into and over the lines.
knocking men left and right and almost
starting a panic. When he was finally
captured the soldiers demanded that
he be instantly wiped OF the face of the
earth, but discipline prevailed, and he
was turned over to the quartermaster
and shipped back from whence he
came" -Washington Star.

CLUB NOTES.

Afton.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, Ind.-Dear Doctor: I have been
feeling so we'll the greater part OF the
summer, but there has been one thing
annoying me and don't know the
cause of it, noticed about a month
ago. when l first awoke in the morning
that my hands were numb. l thought
nothing of it at first, but it continued
and never missed single morning. In
a few minutes the hands would seem
to be all right, but woulu have two or
three spells while dressing. After
short time they were all right again
and did not bother any more until the
next morning. The last two weeks
there has been half numb or tingling
sensation in the fingers of right hand
all the time, but worse in the morn
ing. The left hand is the same, but
right hand is worse. Can you tell me
what the cause is and what to- do for
it? would also like to ask you about
nv aunt. About four weeks ago she
was out driving and the horse suddenly
ierked the line, which seemed to have
been around her index finger. At least
the finger was jerked and sprained, as
we suppose. She has used different
remedies, but the finger is still swollen
and stiff, except at the knuckle. 1t is
not painful unless she strikes it against
something, but it just sticks out
straight and therefore Is knocked a
great deal. What shall we do for It?
Thanking you in advance for these ia
vors, remain, sincerely A. F.
The symptoms which you have de-
scribed would indicate that there is
more or less danger of a paralytic con-
dition coming on unless you are prop
erly cared for. I would suggest that
YOU procure the services of a. skillful
osteopath and take a thorough course
of treatment.
In regard to your aunt, your descrip-
ton of her finger would indicate that
it might be dislocated or fractured, or
possibly the periosteum is injured; and
I think it would be wise for her to go
to a reliable surgeon aci have him
make a careful examination. II there

pIMPLEs ON THE FACE.
~

FAMILIES ON lie EACG.
Certainly very annoying and run-
slightly trouble is the condition of the
skin of the face and sometimes the
body, known as acne or pimples. A
curious feature of this disorder is that
it seldom is found in children or people
who have passed middle life, although
it is not unknown to both. s- u
Youths, young men and women, SUI
\ fer greatly sometimes, and the skin of
the face presents very unsightly ap-
pearance. The cause in some cases is
found in unhygienic surroundings, poor
ventilation, bad habits, poor food, i'm
proper methods of eating and nearly al
ways constipation. The real cause of
the pimples themselves is an effort upon
the part of nature to throw off poisonous
matter from the system which should
have been eliminated through other
channels. The pores of the skin are very
small, especially so in the case of per-
sons having fine skin, and its normal
function is to excrete waste matter In
the insensible perspiration.
Under excessive heat or exertion, or
even great mental excitement, the &C.
tivity Ct the pores of the skin is greatly
increased, and sensible perspiration
flows freely 1t is very common to lay
the blame upon impure BLOOD" and
recently received letter from an east
ern subscriber asking advice for the
case of a friend, stating that her physi-
clan had prescribed "Fow1er's Solu-
ton" with apparently favorable results.
Now, "Fowler's Solution" is simply ar
senic put up according to a formula CIV
en- years ago by DR.. Fowler, when it was
fashionable for ladies to be indolent
and helpless, with pale, waxy complex
ions, and it will certainly bring about
that result. OF course, you can readily
guess what my reply would be. Poison
in all forms should not be prescribed.
It is unnecessary, with one or two pos
sible exceptions, under certain condi-
tons which are not likely to occur in
the home treatment Of diseases.
Pimples will, as rule, disappear
from the face, as well IS other portions
of the body, if the sufferer will simply
observe the Home Health Club system
of using food and water according to the
plan so fully described in the lectures,
and all persons who wish to keep a
clear skin must to greater or less ex-
tent observe the natural laws taught.
It is true that by administering GER
tair harmless home remedies the pim-
\ ples and red blotches will all disappear
and, in many cases, never return, be-
cause the reason for their appearance
has been overcome. In most cases the
simple, practical method of cleansing
the system of impurities is best and will
add greatly to the general good health

BIG CHIMNEY STARTED

Paul Schwartz and a force of men
have been at work for the past three
weeks on the base of the huge chimney
that is being constructed for the
Consolidated Paper company in the
north wing OF their mill here. A
solid concrete foundation required
more than two weeks to construct.
with small crew of men, and now
the work of laying the brick for the
base of the chimney has begun, and
the stack is built up to the roof OF
the building from which it will
project.
Above this part, another kind of
brick will be used, made of cement and
known as radial brick. The base of
the chimney, which is to be 165 feet
high, is about fifteen feet in diameter
and the walls are three feet thick.
The chimney completed, there will be
no more cause for complaint from
cinders and smoke coming from the
paper mill. The workmen expect to
have the chimney built by the last of
October if the brick for the same
arrive on time.

FATHER OF CONCORD GRAPE
Memorial Proposed to Massachusetts,
Man Who Originated the
Variety.

A movement has been started look.
ing to the erection Of a memorial to
Ephraim Bull, the originator of the
Concord grape. Mr.. Bull found grape
vine growing wild in the woods aud
transplanted 1t in a yard in Concord.
Mass. From that vine, which is still
growing In the place where M. Bull
set it, has sprung the entire Concord
grape industry. Autumn and grapes
soon will be here. 1t is an appropriate
time to start such movement.
It is proposed to secure enough
money by voluntary contributions both
to put up a monument to Mr.. Bull and
to give perpetual care to the old vine
which he tended with such skill and
effect. Grape vines are extremely long
lived. In California there are some
which are certainly several hundred
years old. There seems hardly any
limit to the time they will survive and
remain healthy and fruitful If properly
tended. The plan of maintaining Mr..
Bulls vine in perpetuity is not, there
fore. 80 impracticable as 1t might seem
to persons unfamiliar with grape cul-
ture.
The Concord grape is peculiarly
hardy and prolific. The growing Of 1t
has expanded into an extensive and
highly profitable industry, and 1t is the
of several other fine grapes.
Every year Concord grapes are con-
yerted into thousands of cans of tel-
lies and jams, while carload upon car
load OF them are eaten raw. A fruit
which Is source of SO much profit to
some and OF so much gustatory Joy to
all should have many warm friends,
and these friends should unite to do
honor to the man to whom they owe
20 much.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF FLOWERS
An Association That Is Sure to Have
a Refining and Softening
Influence.

Ground is scarce on the premises of
Richmond inhabitants, but there is
room in every yard for small flower
garden, and no home is complete with
out it, Flowers are not only pleasing
to the eye, but are enjoyable and help
full in many ways, if one will only
make companions Of them, says the
Richmond Times-Dispatch We are all
more or less Influenced by our envi-
ronment, and what environment can be
be sweeter and purer than the associa-
ton of fragrant flowers?
Ever hear of the bicycle face" or
the automobile face?" 1t means that
riding for long on one of these vehi-
cles will stamp a certain expression
on your cOuntenance. 1t is far more
certain that constant association with
flowers, in the right spirit, will fill the
heart with good sentiments and good
sentiments continually entertained will
always assert and express themselves
in the face. Moreover, flowers are de-
sirable companions because they are so
appreciative of little attentions and so
generous in turn. Give them a good
working and good sprhkling and be-
fore long they will not only show you
a smiling face, but will present you
with lapful of blossoms, with fra
GRANGE thrown in as an expression of
gratitude. They are very refined COM
panions and always do the genteel
thing. We wish all men and women
were always genteel.
