 The Death Chamber. By Stephen Crane
vWVysvwvVWTWvvWvwvyVSvWv TFV QVSy4F
By Stephen Crane.

A sergeant, corporal and IA men Of the Twelfth regiment of the line had been sent out to occupy a house on the main highway. They would be at least half of a mile in advance of any other picket of their own people.
 Sergeant Morton was deeply angry at being sent on this duty He said that he was overworked. There were at least two sergeants, he claimed fu- riously, whose turn 1t should have been to go on this arduous mission. He was treated unfairly; he was abused by his superiors; why did any fool ever join the army; as for him he would get out ot it as soon as possible; he was sick Of it; the life of dog. All this he said to the corporal, who hs- tened attentively, giving grunts of re- spectful assent.
 On the way to this post, two pr1vates took occasion to drop casually to the rear and pilfer in the orchard of de- serted plantation. When the sergeant discovered this absence, he grew black with rage which was an accumula- tion of all his irritations.
 Run, you!" he howled. Bring them here. I'll show them" A private ran swiftly to the rear. The remainder of the squad began to shout nervously at the two delinquents, whose figures they could see in the deep shade Of the orchard, hurriedly picking fruit from the ground and cramming it within their shirts, next to their skins. The beseeching cries of their comrades stirred the criminals more than did the barking Of the sergeant. They ran to rejoin the squad, while holding their loaded bosoms and with their mouths open with aggrieved explanations.
 A moment later the squad moved on toward its station. Behind the ser geant's back Jones and Patterson were slyly passing apples and pears to their friends, while the sergeant expounded eloquenJlK to the corporal. You see what kind of men are in the army now! Why, when I joined the regiment it was very different thing, I can tell you. Then, a sergeant had some au- thority, and if man disobeyed orders he had a very small chance of esca ping something extremely serious. But now! Good God! If I report these men, the captain will look over a lot of beastly order sheets and say" (here

He Thinks. He Knows"

q can always tell whether a woman is accustomed to reading newspapers by the way she holds one,' remarked a business man recently. She takes it up in hap-hazard fashion, glances irrelevantly here and there in an ab- minded sort of way, so that you feel quite sure she isn't sensing thing she reads. Then she opens the paper awkwardly and invariably sep arates the portions of the sheet, thing that makes man crazy in his own home, for he loses track of the departments and it is contrary to his ideas of order. sf

Persistent Ansemia Cured by pr. Williams Pink Pills Alter Other
 Remedies Had Failed.

When began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine, 'sI was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anamia. I had spells of vomiting, could not eat, p fact, did not dare to, had such dis tress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache l suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that l could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never leftme for seven weeks. About this time had had several numb spells. My aimbs would be cold and without any feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me.
 ssNothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and one morning awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disap- peared and ill three weeks 1 could eat anything wanted and suffer no incon- venience. also slept soundly. have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure anamia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed. They are sold by all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. \.

Fire from Heaven.

On one of his expeditions into Cen tral Africa Prof. Drummond found himself among cannibals, who cast longing eyes on his person. It became necessary to make an impression, so Drummond produced a powerful mag nifying glass and, after an eloquent exordium, called down fire from heaven" by setting light to some long grass by concentrating the rays of the sun through the glass. After this the natives had no appetite for white magician, and Drummond went on his way rejoicing, laden with native, of ferings.

"We Can Beat Them Off,"

the sergeant wrathfully initiated the voice of his captain): Flaw, eh, well, Sergeant Morton, these men seem to have very good records; very good rec ords, indeed. I can't be too hard on them; nc; not too hard,'" continued the sergeante T tell you, Flagler. the army is no place for 8 decent man"
 Flagler, the corporal, answered with sincerity oe appreciation which with him had become a science T think you are right, sergeant" he answered
 Behind them the privates inumbled discreetly. This sergeant of ours. he thinks we are made of wood I don't see any reason for all this strictness when we are on active service. It isn't like being at home in barracks. This is very different. He hammers us now worse than he did in barracks. There is no great harm in couple of men dropping out to raid an orchard of the enemy when all the world knows that we haven't had a decent meal in 20 days"
 The reddened face of Sergeant Nor ton suddenly showed to the rear. "A little more marching and much less talking" he said.
 When lie came to the house he had been ordered to occupy, the sergeant sniffed with disdain. These people must have lived like cattle!" ne said, angriiy.
 To be sure. the place was not allur- ing. The ground-f1oor had been used for the housing of cattle, and 1t was dark and terrible. A flight of steps led to the lofty first floor, which was de- nuded, but respectable. The sergeant's visage frightened when he saw the strong walls of stone and cement. "Un- less they turn guns on us, they will never get us out of here" he said cheerfully to the squad. The men,

What is the most famous saying ever made by man." an editor asked. Some thought that Caesar, others Socrates, still others that Lincoln, Some that Nelson had said the most memorable thing, but finally the palm was awarded to Euclid, the mathematician.
 Euclid went to Alexandria to teach Ptolemy Soter, the king of Egypt mathematics. Ptolemy plodded at his problems a week or two and then asked Euclid impatitntly if there was not some special, shorter way by which he could be taught.

enthusiastic over it.. Last Sun

college and decided that they
would solicit funds, to the amount
of $1,000 to buy the ground for
the building and q committee
was appointed to solicit funds
AS yet the committee has done
nothing and it seems as though
something should be done at
once and the committee ought .to
get busy without delay. The
time to do anything is when the
people are enthusiastic over it,
and not after 1t has been talked
over and talked over until the
people are tired of hearing of IT.
It is up to the committee to do
their work at once.

SNOW STORM PLAYS HAVOC
WITH TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Two Hundred Phones, or Two.thirds Of Those in Town
Ont Of Order Today-..Wires Are Laid Low in
Every Part of the City

The heavy snow storm of last
night did considerable damage
about the city and was especially
severe to the city telephone
system.
Two hundred phones, in all,
were put out of mission by
the storm, and it has been neces-
sary to send 10 Fargo and Grand
Forks for a new cable and cable

The telephone wires were so
weighted with. the wet "beauti-
full" that they fell in many
places, and the damage to. the
main Office fixtures and connec-
tions was such that it will take
several days before it can be re-
paired. The large junction box
in the rear of the telephone Office
was burned out and fell on top of
the primary wires of the elec-
trio light company. This neces-
STATED a shutdown at the cleo
trio light plant for an hour. The
plant is running today, as usual,
although there are several wires
of the light company that are
fallen.

Cold Winter Prophesied.
Pine River Sentinel:

Pine River Sentinel: Dave
Robinson was in town from
Brainerd Tuesday attending to
business matters which req uired
his attention. Dave is one of
those who believe that we have q
cold winter ahead of us, and in
conversation with The Sentinel
on the subject he stated that he
saw. q great many things this fall
which would indicate that we
would not be troubled with any
torrid winds before spring.
For instance, he said he saw q
place near the railroad track in
the woods where squirrel had
piled up at least q half bushel Of
acorns and also q pile of nuts
which the section crew had left
lying along the track after dong
some repairing.
"And the other day. says
Dave, when I was coming down
from Leech Lake dam, I saw
three muskrats going back with
. roll of tar paper to cover their
houses with.
There were other things which
Dave saw and started to tell
about but about that time the
train pulled in and he was OFF.
All the boys are wondering now

he was drinking before he came
