Old Soldier Has Watch That Saved

Capt G. W. Foster, of Council
Bluffs, Ia, has a valuable relic of the
civil war. 1t is an old-fashioned sill

piece, and was all right until it was
put out of service by confederate

by in the taking of Mobile, Ala They
went to Barnacas, Fla, thence to
Pensacola, and then by quick march
through Florida swamps northwest
until they struck the Tensas river, in
Alabama, and then south until they
made connections with Canby's army

Blakeley. Hawkins division of

the right next to the river, and the
white division further south By dig

until within half a mile of the en-

charged their works at four o'clock
p. m. Capt. Foster, with his COM

the order to charge was given, and
his instructions were to advance and
draw the enemy's fire, then rally to

Suddenly upon the .nirth of the party
there descended an astonishing quiet.
Thaddeus, strange to say, fell asleep

deftly concealing the jewels about his

wrists and fingers were barred of their
glittering load. the pair turned their
attention to the slumbering Thad-

and, looking at one another. laughed
silently.

Miss Stella Garner nodded.

And with that Mr.. stephen Os.

about five thousand dollars worth of

French window of Mr.. Thaddeus

Mr.. Thaddeus Field never found
sufficiently ugly partner for Mr.. Ste.

Mr.. Osborne again. Nor did he ever
set eyes on Miss Stella Garner, nor
find her some one to love. They had
vanished into the unknown through
that French window. and Christina
still nca-ns her diamonds.

looked not so ugly after all. And Mr.
Stephen Osborne, who with Thaddeus
had gone round another way into the
hidden cupboard, that the former
might spy upon Miss Garner as she
had spied upon him, drew a deep
breath, and whispered to the matri-
monial agent, Il suppose l can't do

ask her round too"
NO thanks" said Stephen Osborne,
"let it be tomorrow. I've something

Now, there was one thing in the
world for which Christina Field lived
and moved and had her being, and
that was jewelry. In her bedroom at
the little uptown house she had a
small strong safe built into the wall.
and the key of that safe never left
her possession. Her diamonds were
not imperial, still they were valuable,
and had been mounted to her own in
structions, and she had ruby brace
let for which many fairly honest
woman would have risked her soul.
When an opportunity arose for Ma,
dame Christina to don her glittering
treasures she was happy; when there
were women present to envy them
she became positively radiant.

beamed on the ugly Miss Garner, the

Austrian Huns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The FIRST lady" in the Austro-Hun-
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La
dies in Prague, position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata, the
present abbess, who is niece of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play a leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the abb
bey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use, and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
is paid $500 year, while the abbess
has salary of $4,000. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with ribbon Of
light blue.

in comparative safety she could be

fear for his safety. She became ex-
cited by the firing and cheers of the
men. She rushed out from the bomb
proof, a piece of shell struck her,
and she fell dead. He rushed to her,
saw that it was death, and went back
to his gun. This happened during
the assault of May 27, 1868. The next

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At recent convention of German
of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper
put forth sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head is placed in soft cushion the
child turns on it's back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a, short
head Is developed. But II the medium
shaped head of child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as 1t cannot stand any
more on it's head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back Is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
sented child whose mother and sis
ter are shortheaded. The child at its
birth had short head, now after Is
months it is long skulled. If the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
1t could be greatly iniluenceS by the
way the child rested. -.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue weekly
edition for the blind. draws attention
to the other British journals published
in Braille type, which have had a long
and useful career, though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June 1,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.
1t has always been issued below cost
price, and it's promoters derive no
benefit from it's publication. An.
other was started only last year,
called the Braille Weekly, and issued
from Edinburgh.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
VIII Open UP Immense Area Of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore. be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by c.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do its share towards moving
the crop OF 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in prai-
rie schooner, a distance of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even If Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude of stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 90,0O0,0OO bushels.
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un-
der crop next year, it Is safely calcu-
lated that fully 125, 100000 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands Of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where.

staff appeared, threw himself from his
horse, and said, with forced calm
ness:

my painful duty, is inexorable."

wreath of orange blossoms. The
ladies, one of whom was the dead
woman's sister, pleaded that they
might lift the corpse. With reverent
tenderness every part of the robes
and box was searched. By request
the young officer and two ladies were
allowed to accompany the remains on
board the steamboat Iberville. All
three were blindfolded, led through
our camp to the boat, where they
bade last adieu to the dead bride

Hints for the Pipe Lover.

The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco
Journal gives some hints to those
who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks
he knows how to smoke pipe, but to
do 1t perfectly is not easy. Time is a
keynote of successful pipe smoking"
says the Journal, "and another is gen.
tleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd
the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never
get pipe hot. Keep cool, and keep
your pipe cool. You can relight pipe
and If you are an old smoker you will
be all the better for it. When you
have finished do not refill heated
pipe"
