MEDICAL PALACES

A doctor was pointing out medical
fallacies-the wrong ideas about things
medical that many people hold.
Zone fallacy," he said, lis that beef
tea is nourishing 1t is nothing but
water in which certain pleasant and
exhilirating meat salts are dissolved.
You would starve to death on beef tea,
the same as on whisky or On coffee.
Another fallacy is that alcohol

use whatever as a guard against cold.
"a third fallacy is that one egg
contains as much nourishment as

they are doing anything but we'll

band and WIFE Statistics prove that
among married men over 20 years of
age and women over 40 the mortality
rate is far less than among those who
remain single. Among the widowed
and divorced the mortality is excep-
tionally great. Suicides among the
unmarried are much more numerous
than among the married. The matri-
monial state promotes temperance in
every form Furthermore, the probable
duration of life of married man of 80
exceeds that of his unmarried brother
by five years, and the wife may expect
to live one year longer than single
woman of the same age.

HOME LIFE
cUDDLE TIME

AS the evening shadows gather,
Then tits cuddle time, | know,
When my baby, dressed for dream
land,
Comes a-romping to me SO;
Comes and begs of me to hold him
On my knees, and "rock-a-bye,"
AS the purpling sun sinks lower
In the cleaning western sky.
And he cuddles to me nearer,
AS the freight softly CLOVIS,
And across the dusky portals
Ghostly Pickering shadow throws;
And two dimpled arms about me
Are clasped tighter for a kiss
All, was richer, rarer necklace
Placed about ones neck than this
And clasp and hold him closer,
Little tousled head of gold,
AS he begs dad for a ''tory'
Which hundred times I've told;
Begs to have me sstell ii over
Of the quaint Red Riding Hood,
Or the bears-that happy family.
Living in the deep, dark wood.
Soon the dropping, dropping lashes
Cover up two eyes of brown,
And the tousled head so golden
On my breast sinks lower down;
Lower yet, till deep in slumber,
Cuddled close to me he lies,
With the glory of the sunset
In his sleeping, dreaming eyes.
In his eyes, in whose rays luster
Shines the beauty of the dawn,
Till | know that into dreamland
My wee golden head has gone.
All, the sweetness of the pleasure,
Making life one golden rhyme,
With dimpled babe to fondle
When 1t cometh cuddle time!

For some time this idea Of remov-
able covers for fancy pillows has been
gaining Roadway. At first it was adop-
ted by ingenious women who made
up their own pillows and knew
what 1t meant to unmake them for
purposes of cleanliness; now the slips
themselves, all ready to put on or of
at moments notice, can be bought
in the stores.
These slips are in every size, price
and design. They are found with and
without ruffles. Simple affairs of

Some are made of allover white en-
broidery, others of intricate drawn

Whatever the style or cost, the I'm.
DERIVING principle is the same-they
are arranged to wash easily and often.
This is made possible by an opening
at one side of the slip at the back,
where, under flap, the pillow may be
securely buttoned in.

Reduction of Pensions.

.. J. Lyon. NJ D.. Sabetha. Kan,
aprOpos of an article he saw in The
National Tribune about the reduction
of a veterans pension, regrets that such
a misfortune should have come to ona
whose service to the Government meant
so much in its hour of need. The army
record of this particular veteran is
probably as good as that of any ex-
soldier, and envy is doubtless the cause
of the attack. While Under special
act 1t would be pretty difficult to re-
duce OF stop a pension. still the pen-
sioner would be put to trouble and ex-
Dense to fight any such action. Conn
rade Lyon suggests that the party who
attempts to deprive the old soldier of
his pension should take a jump at him-
self to balance his conclusions" Such
a person is so thin" that the Lords
Prayer could be read thru him by
moonlight. and if he has soul it must
be so small that 10000 such could ba
put in a mustard seed. In conclusion
Comrade Lyon says: Give the veter-
ans, therefore. the little gratuity they
may have obtained, and let them have
the sunshine of kindness while they ara
with us, as We never can repay them
sufficiently for their services in sus-
tanning and protecting the Government
founded by our sires of l776."

A Valuable Relic Of the Civil var.

Capt. c. w. Foster, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, has a valuable relic of the civil
war. 1t is an old-fashioned silver
watch. 1t was fairly good timepiece,
and was all right until it was put out
of service by rebel bullet. G. w. Fo5-
ter was Captain of Co. D, 18th U. S.
c. l., First Brigade, Hawlins's Division,
Gen. Steele's army, aiding Gen. Candy
in the taking of Mobile, Ala. Went to
Barancas, Fla, thence to Pensacola,
and then by quick march thru Florida
sWamps northwest until they struck the
Tensas River, in Alabama. and then
south until they made connections with
Canby's army in rear of Spanish Fort
and Fort Blakely. Hawkinss Division
OF Smoked Yankees was placed on the
right next to the river, and the White
division further south. By digging rifle
pits and trenches and placing batteries
Hawkins'S men advanced until within
about half a mile of the enemy'S works,
and on April 9, 1866, charged their
works at o'clock p. m. Capt. Foster,
with his company, was on the Skirmish
line when the order to charge was Civ
en-, and his instructions We're to ad-
vance and draw the enemy's fire, then
rally to the right and join the charging g
column. When within 100 yards of the
fort Capt. Foster was ordered to deploy
his company to the right and try TO get
in the rear of the fort next to the bay.
He got q good place where he was
keeping two pieces OF artillery silent
by shooting the gunners, when n bat
TALON of the enemy charged him and
drove him. to the rear He lost sew
eral of his men, and there is where the
Captain says he stopped a bullet The
enemy were about so feet above him
on top of the bluffs and fired down upon
his company. and naturally the most
of the shots went high. The Captain
mad his watch in his pants pocket, over
right hip. A bullet struck the watch
in the rim near the stem. split it open
and destroyed the works. the main-
spring never being found. The bullet
glanced and lodged in the right ilium,
bedding itself about one inch in the
bone. knocking the Captain over a log
into the edge of the bay, where ne was
drowning, when two of his men came
back and got him and carried him two
miles to the rear to the hospital. Their
faithfulness to the Captain saved him,
as he was pretty nearly gone when they
got him out of the mud and water.
He has the watch and bullet and a hole
n his side to prove the above. You
cannot make him believe the cOlored
troops wouldn't fight. And he knows
what it is to stop a bullet. He is now
helpless cripple with rheumatism and
can do nothing, but loves to read the
letters the boys of '61-'65 write. He
served from July 10, 1861, to Dec. 5 l,
1868.

Grant, supposing that Sherman had
succeeded in putting himself astride of
Mission Ridge, had sent him orders to
attack at daylight, and Sherman, with
his customary prompttude, was up
while it was yet dark, busily engaged
in preparing for the assault. The last
CLEANS of the setting sun had been a
bitter revelation to him in the mistake
he had made with regard to the ridge.
From all that the glass could tell him
from across the river the ridge was
continuous to the position he had taken.
All the maps that he had showed this
to be So Now he found himself on an
isolated ridge composed of two large
peaks and separated by deep valley
from the main chain. Thru this gorge
ran the wagon roads and the tunnel of
the Chattanooga & Stevenson Railroad.
His position gave him no advantage
whatever in attacking Mission Ridge,
and his movement had only served to
expose his intention and give Bragg
time to prepare against him. The men
of the Army of the Tennessee were
now confronted with as hard prOpo-
