Gle. 1t was the crack battalion of the
regiment, and they had lost their
major; the band was playing the
dead march, and the eyes of each
soldier were on the neckband of the
man ahead. The solemn impulse of
a military burial had impaired to
them a serious subdued enthusiasm;
they felt they must step-step-step
into eternity-that was all He

glanced at the tent again. He was
surprised; something had happened.
He saw that every hole in the canvas

Wayne--a good natured, charming
lunatic, but they talked about him.
There was no harm in him, they said,

his own affair. For Whiteside had
collected from the saloons, from the

them to drilling in a vacant lot. The
circus had departed; the diversion of
watching them was welcome to Fort

manner of their kind, embraced the
opportunity of a new experience;
moreover, they found company drill
more remunerative and less fatiguing
that the chopping of kindling wood.

METHODS IN DRYING LINEN.
The Right Way to Bring Out the
Proper Gloss.

When hanging your linen to dry. use
two lines comparatively close and
parallel for your tablecloths and
sheets.
Throw one selvedge side of your
tablecloth over one line toward the
other, allowing It to hang down about
a quarter of yard, and being careful
to pin it a short distance from the
ends. Take the opposite of your cloth
and throw 1t over the other line and
pin 1t in the same manner.
This will form a sort of bag. and
will prevent to a considerable extent
the wild blowing of the tablecloth in
windy weather.
After the table linen is thoroughly
dried remove It from the line and pre-
pare to dampen IT, A whisk broom is
excellent for TIE purpose.
Table linen, in order to bring out the
bright gloss that makes II attractive.
should be dampened quite consider.
ably.
Sprinkle the tablecloths freely. be-
ing sure that the selvedge ends or
hemstitched borders are thoroughly
damp. Roll up tightly, patting the roll
frequently TO spread the danpness.

The Ideal Family Laxative.

is one that can be used by the entire
family. young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause it's ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being Sold
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere,
either plain or sugar-coated.

An Engllshwoman was awarded
$500 damages for broken nose. The
Judge said: IF my nose were injured

me anything, but a woman stands in

Two French cases are apropos. In
one a man was awarded $3.50 for a
nose broken in a fight, while in the
other 5000 was received by a young
woman whose nose was broken in a
collision. The woman was an artists
model, and what would have been a
trifie to a man was a serious matter
to her, as It would probably prevent
her from earning her living as Q
