A corporaI's Lemon.

During the Revolutionary war the
captain OF a little band OF soldiers was
giving orders about heavy beam that
they were endeavorlng to raise to the
top Of some military works which they
were repairing The weight was al
most beyond their power, and the
voice Of the superintendent was often
heard shouting at them. An officer
not in military costume was passing
and asked the superintendent why he
did not render little aid The latter,
astonished. turned around, with the
Pomp OF an emperor, and said. ''Sir.
am q eorporalr'
"You are. are roui l ask your par
don. Mr.. Corporal" and. taking or his
hat, he bowed. saying. Il was not
aware OF that"
Upon this he dismounted and pulled
until great dropa OF perspiration stood
on his forehead. When the beam was
raised. turning to the little great man.
he said, ''Mr, Corporal, when you have
another such job and not enough men
aend for your commander in chief and
viii gladly come and help you a sec.
ond time"
The little corporal was thunder
struck. 1t was Washington who thus
addressed him.

MORTALITY REPORT
CONSUMPTION AND PNEUMONIA
HEAD DEATH LIST.
Statistics Show That the Greatest
Number of Deaths From Lung
Trouble Occur in Winter,

The Bureau Of Census has published
report presenting mortality statistics
for the United States for the five cal
endar years 1900 to 1904.
AS shown in the table, tuberculosis
of the lungs and pneumonia were by
far the leading causes of death. The
greatest number of deaths from lung
trouble occur during the winter
months. Colds are so prolific of lung
trouble that they should not be neg
lected. Persons with weak lungs
should be especially careful.
A noted authority on lung trouble
advises that as soon as a cold is con-
tracted the following simple treatment
should be given. The ingredients can
be purchased from any prescription
druggist at small cost and easily pre-
pared in your own home. 1t is said to
be SO effective that it will break up
cold in twenty-four hours and cure any
cough that is curable.
Take one-half ounce Virgin Oil of
Pine (Pure), two ounces of Glycerine
and eight ounces of good Whisky.
Shake well and take in teaspoonful
doses every four hours.
Be sure that the Virgin Oil of Pine
(Pure) is in the original half-ounce
walls. which are put up expressly for
druggists to dispense. Each vial is Sc
curely sealed in round wooden case.
with engraved wrapper, with the name
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)-guaran-
teed under the Food and Drugs Act,
June 30, 1906, prepared only by Leach
Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.-plainlv
printed thereon. There are many rank
limitations of Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)
which are put out under various
names. such as Concentrated Oil OF
Pine. Pine Balsam. etc. Never accept
these as substitute for the Pure Vir-
gin OIL of Pine. as they will invariably
produce nausea and never effect the
desired result

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike to be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has a heavy crop of hair,
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
II It were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost i'm.
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

How to Sleep in a Blanket.

There are a great many very COM
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest of it. l have never seen des-
cribed the woodman's method of using
. blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
FIRST one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un-
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs. wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep. II

The Real Ruler.

The duchess of Roxburghe, who was
Miss May Goelet of New York, has
taken up the prevalent craze to collect
animals and she is building a minia-
ture zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the
duchess, a masterful little lady, has
everything she wants. One Of the
dukes tenants, wishing some conces-
sion, went to the castle and told his
errand to an old retainer, adding that
he would like to see the master in
person. "Eh, mon," retorted the aged
servant, who is not entirely reconciled
to the new order of affairs, there is
only ae master in this hoose thae
