The American Abroad.

1t has for years been Drougnt home
to us--by comment more or less
complimentary--~that we Americans,
travelling abroad, are closely scruti-
nized by the Europeans. But per-
haps we have not realized, says the
Youths Companion, that the observ-
ing eyes Of the younger--in fact, of
the youngest--generation are turn
ed upon US.
A Partisan woman going to her
children's playroom, discovered her
little boy and girl absorbed in a re-
markable occupation. The boy stood
motionless and solemn, on small
table in the middle Of the room; the
girl, arrayed in grown-up hat and
coat, walked slowly round him, re-
garding him thoughtfully, now and
then peering abstractedly into a red
covered book In her hand.
What are you doing, children?"
asked the puzzled parent.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucS4s lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

The Cowboys Hymn.

Last night as 1 lay on the prairie
And gazed at the stars in the sky,
l wondered if ever cowboy
Would ride to that sweet bye and bye.
The road that leads up to that bright
region
Is narrow and dim, so they say,
But the trail that leads down to perditiou
Is staked and blazed all the way.
Some day there will be agreatround-up'
When cowboys like mavericks shall
stand,
To be cut by those Heavenly riders
Who are posted and know every brand.
1 wonder if ever cowboy
Was prepared for that great Judgment
Day,
And could say to the Boss of the riders,
II am ready to be driven away"
They say he will never forsake you,
That He notes every action and look
So for safety you had better get branded
And have your name in His Great
Tally Book.

Shortly rtster Mrs. Frances Hodg-

Fauntleroy," appeared she went
with her two little boys to a seaside
hotel. The story had made great
sensation, and there had ensued a
regular epidemic of Fauntleroy
curls, Fauntleroy suits and Fauntle-
roy youngsters. In the room next
to that occupied by Mrs. Burnett
was a dashing, rather overdressed
widow, with a red haired, bullet
headed son of about seven, who was
the terror of the hotel. Anticipat-
ing the arrival of the famous au-
thor, the mother had purchased a
complete and elaborate Fauntleroy
outfit, with which she proceeded to
deck out her unappreciative and re-
belious offspring.
Not content with this outward
seeming, the woman desired to com
plete the caricature by compelling

WAS MAJ. PENRosE RE
.SPOMSLBLE2

ELSEWHERE IN LQlS lSSuC VI m
HERALD is published an interview
with Gen. A. B. Nettleton regard
ing the verdict of the Penrose
court-martial, in which that gentle
man endorses the acquittal of Maj.
Penrose and says that the real
question at issue in this trial
was whether or not the negro sol
diers were guilty. This being
decided afirmatively, the general
feels that Brownsville is cleared
and that the end for which the
court was held virtually has been
accomplished.
In so far as the effect of the
decision is to clear the citizens of
the terrible charge of having COM
mitted so infamous a crime against
their own people, it is true that the
Penrose court-martial has subserv-
ed the ends of justice. THE
HERALD cannot, however, agree
with General Nettleton as to the
result otherwise. With all defer
ence due to one who has dist1n-
puished himself as brave and
gallant officer in the Nations army,
and also as assistant to one of
President Garfeld's cabinet men,
bers, and with the highest consid-
Grafton of the friendship which he
showed for Brownsville in its time
of sore need by his very timely and
able letter to the secretary of war
on the subject of the Brownsville
outrage, yet THE HERALD most
respectfully differs from General
Nettleton in some respects. While
this paper feels that the crime of
the negroes of Major Penrose's
command cannot be too severely
condemned, yet it feels also that
the officers in command of those
soldiers should be held accountable
for the conduct, of their men.
Knowing the nature and DISPOSE
ton of the negro race in general,
THE HERALD feels assured that if
those men had been commanded
by the right sort of officers, and
properly disciplined, counseled to
restraint, instead of openly SYM
pathized with in their complaints
against Brownsville, the terrible
crime of murder and attempted mas
sacre of innocent women and chill
dren would never have been COM
mitted by them. That there was
the gravest lack of discipline
amongst Maj. Penrose's men can
be proven by many competent wit
nesses, yet it must be admitted
that this was not proven before the
court. While THE HERALD would
not wish to see a man of Major
Penrose's age made to suffer hard
ship, yet it cannot but feel that
the efficiency of tie army and the
respect and confidence of the peo-
pie for and in that very necessary
and important arm of the govern
ment would have been increased,
had the grave faults of the officers
in command of the soldiers WHO
outraged Brownsville been pointed
out and corrected by some means
or other, if it were only by a Sc
rious reprimand.
