A few days later Colonel Grant had
an experience which once more caused
him, In his memoirs, to acknowledge
that he was scared. This was after he
had crossed the river into Missouri
His description of his feelings just in
advance Of an expected battle that did
not take place has touch Of humor.
This humor is quite Unsuitable. for the
regiment Of the future general was en-
camped at the time in the little village
Of Florida, Mo-, the birthplace of Mark
Twain. and that individual himself,
then better known in the neighborhood
as Sam Clemens, who had just en-
listed in the Confederate service, was
doing his best to avoid an engagement
with Grant, as he confessed MANY
years later. There was a Colonel Har-
ris III command Of the Confederate
troops in that vicinity. Colonel Grant
went out to corral Harris. This is
Grants description of what happened
and what didn't:
AS we approached the brow of the hill
from which it was expected we could see
Harris camp and possibly find his men
ready formed to meet US my heart kept
getting higher and higher until 1t felt that
1t was in my throat. would have given
anything then to have been back in Illi-
nois, but had not the moral courage to
halt and consider what to do. l kept
right on.
When we reached a point from which
the valley below was in full view l halt
ed. The place where Harris was encamp-
ed few days before was still there, and
the marks of a recent encampment were
plainly visible, but the troops were gone.
Ny heart resumed it's place.
1t occurred to me at once that Harris
had been as much afraid Of me as 1 had
been of him. This was a view of the
question had never taken before, but 1t
was one never forgot afterward. From
that event to the close of the war
never experienced trepidation upon con-
fronting an enemy. though I always felt
more or less anxiety. never forgot that
he had as much reason to fear my forces
as had his. The lesson was valuable.
General Sheridan. whose first field
service was in Oregon chasing the half
starved and half crazed Pitt river In
dams, tells of his first apparent peril
and his trepidation. AS this affair
turned out, there was no fight at ALL as
in the case of Grants non-meeting with
Harris. A young lieutenant. Sheridan
had volunteered to ride across the wild
Indian country with a couple of sol
diers to carry messages to small gar
rison in the interior. On the long ride
he heard voices in front and through
his glasses made out band of about
thirty Pitt river braves. These Indians,
as he knew, were armed only with
bows and arrows.
When night fell he was still in the
vicinity of the Indians, who, however,
had not discovered him. He went into
camp in the woods, and such was his
fear Of the Indians that he would not
permit a fire to be lit. He and his two
men ate cold bread only, with no cof
fee. '1 felt somewhat nervous he
wrote, "and passed an anxious night"

PALAFOX STREET WAS
BRIGHTLY ILLUMINATED

Palafox street was Illuminated last
night in a manner that caused much
comment by those upon the streets.
At 6 O'Clock the hundreds of mean
descent lights were turned on, and in
addition there were a number of elcc-
trical displays in business houses
which Illuminated the city in a most
pleasing manner. There are in The
neighborhood of five hundred incsn-
descent lights stretched across Pala-
fox street, and at the intersection OF
Garden and Palseox there is suspended
across the street the word Welcome"
the lettG-s being formed by many in
candescent lights.
One of the pretty electrical displays
is that of the Concordia Club on East
Intendencia street, while the entire
club appears in large letters across
intendencia street, while the entire
front of the building is hung with nu-
uercus incandescent lights.

CARNIVAL cOLoRS ALSO
MUCH IN EVIDENCE

The Carnival colors are also much
in evidence. There are but few of the
business houses which are not deco
rated and the decorators have not
completed their work. On the con-
trary many of them will continue at
work through today and tomorrow
morning, and it is freely predicted
that by that hour the decorations will
be more numerous than on any pre-
vious event of this character.
The Queen of the Carnival will
view the parade and greet King Pris-
Gus tomorrow at noon from the bal
cony of the custom house, and today
decorators will be engaged in placing
the Carnival colors about the balcony.
This point has been selected as the
most favorable in the city and it is
just opposite the custom house thai
the mayor of the city is to deliver
the keys of the city to the king.

APPENDICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate in
 Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit.
 Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the diges- tive machinery-also tends to form cakes in the cecum. Chats the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix)
 A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived On milk for awhile-then Grape Nuts and got well without an opera tion.
 She says: Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with consti- patton and indigestion" (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest)
 Soon after left school had an at. tack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until friend recommended Grape-Nrts.
 When I began to eat Grape-Nuts l weighed 98 lbs, but soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like new per son.

The Evolution of
 Household RemediesA

The modern patent medicine busi- ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.
 In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter parks. A score or more of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated.
 The patent medicine business is 6 natural outgrowth from this whole some, o1d-time custom. In the begins ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm pressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, V. ould take it up, improve it in many ways, manu- faoture it on large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE. HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
 Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Penn sylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade.
 Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and it's value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

Never Would They Lay Anything but

There is a German dairyman and farmer. whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes him self upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vicinity.
 On one occasion he personally ap- piled to a Germantown housekeeper for a transfer of her custom to him. self. T hears dot you haf lot of drouble with dot dairyman of yours, !" he said. 'Yust you gif me your gus tom and der will be no drouble."

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells of Simple
 Home Mixture.

At this time of year, says a we'll known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptfons, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and pain ful, annoying Urinary afflictions.
 It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Con- pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime.
 This simple homemade mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and eXpel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the full blood count that is, 95 per cent red blood corpuscles-which is abso- lutely indispensable to perfect health.

ZEAL WITHOUT COMMON SENSE.
Striking Example Related by the Late
 pr. Field.

A Presbyterian clergyman was praising the late Dr. Henry Martin Field of Stockbridge, who for A years edited the Evangelist.
 "Dr. Field did so much good," he said, because he went about his work Automatically, sensibly reason ably. I once heard him declare that reformers failed often because the moment they started a reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal. He said that nerve cure faddist once entered a shop and leading the pro- prietor to one side whispered mys- teriously: 'Ah, my friend, you can do the race untold good if you will only take the agency for our anti tea preparation. It is warranted to cure in week the most confirmed and nerve-racked tea tippler. Never again
 But the dealer langhed and drew away. You have made a mistake he said. I can't take such an agency as that Don't you see that this is a teashop?
 "'Oh, no mistake, said the reform CT eagerly. It is because you run a teashop that have sought you out You come into constant contact with the very people we are trying to reach.'"
