A Veteran .Dutchman.,

Comrade Urias H. Buchtel, who
proudly claims the designation of
''Dutchman," has returned to his home
in Akron. o., accompanied by his wife,
after an absence of IS months. Com
rade Buchtel is a second cousin of the
Governor of Colorado, both being direct
descendants of Peter Buchtel one of
the great astronomers of Germany, and
one of the family heirlooms is a 100
year-old German almanac, compiled by
him. Buchtel. on account of religious
persecution, had to come to this coun-
try. Comrade Buchtel says that he
served from first to last in the 104th
Ohio. and on every inspection his gun
took the ribbon for being the cleanest
in the brigade. When he enlisted he
was married man, and left a darling
boy three years of age. At one time
circumstances at home demanded his
return, and President Lincoln sent him
a special order for discharge. His
officers gave him very good character
He served his time out, however, and
wore the order out carrying it in his
pocketbook. 1t is now with his pension
papers in the Pension Bureau at Wash
ington.

A TRIBUTE TO JOHN A. TWEED,
President of the First National Bank
of Georgetown, o.

There passed from life recently at
his home in Georgetown, o.. John A.
Tweed, a soldier of the Republic, who
at the youthful age of 10 years swung
into the saddle, and with 1900 other
young men of southern Ohio, compris-
ing the. .7th Ohio Cav, went forth to
give battle for the preservation of the
Union. For three long years John A.
Tweed, boy that he was, did mans
part on the fighting line, facing death
on a hundred fields, where many of his
comrades gave up their lives.
Co. E of the 7th Ohio Cav, of which
company John A. Tweed was most
worthy member. was composed of 100
young boys and men from Brown Coun-
ty, Ohio, and no better material was
ever in any army. The personnel of
this company was unusually fine, and
1t was remarked that If every officer
of the regiment was killed the material
was present in Co. E to furnish COM
plete new set of officers for the regi-
ment, from Colonel down to Corporal
In all the great campaigns in which
the 7th Ohio Cav. took part during
the three years of its service, ending
with the last battle of the war at CO.

Tweed did his part manfully and well.

Because air is the only free fuel and no
trust in control inventors have tried for
years to find a way by which properties
could be drawn from the atmosphere and
used as fuel for general household pur-
obtainable.
To Cincinnati genius heretofore un-
known to fame must go the credit of
solving this great question. Understand.
you cannot burn air absolutely alone, but
this new air generator actually takes its
fuel almost entirely from the atmosphere.
SO much as to take in 395 barrels of air
while consuming one gallon of oil.
The time has come at last when our
readers are no longer compelled to con-
tinually drudge in hot fiery kitchens with
coal and wood fires SO ruinous to health
and looks, for every family who desires
can cook, bake and heat with oil and air
gas, the wonderful new fuel which fire.
quently saves from one-third to one-ha1f
on fuel bills. What blessing this is to
women folks, who for the first time in
their lives can say, no more coal or wood,
nor deadly gasoline to burn and KILL nor
smoky oil wick and valve stoves.

To Raise the Maine

Peter Hagan, of Philadelphia, a man
of extensive experience, has gone to
Havana to inspect the wreck of the
Maine with view to raising it. He is
accompanied by several expert divers,
and is quite enthusiastic over the en-
terprise. which he enters upon largely
from patriotic pride. He wants to do
the work for the credit of Philadelphia.
He has hopes that he will realize some
profit out of the matter, but this is
problematical until the exact condition
OF the wreck is known. 1t may be that II
will be suitable as coal barge or for
some similar duty. The top of the
wreck is now about five feet under wa
ter, and it may be necessary to build
a series of dams to surround the hull,
pump the water out and patch up the
holes so that the wreck will float II
TINS is found practicable it will be done,
but If the damage to the hull is too
great the wreck will be dynamited and
the steel made into junk.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regimentx
of cavalry forming part of the British
household troops. They are gallant sol-
diers, and every loyal British heart is
proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody's
should have its life guards. The need
of them is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
IN the very elements, as colds. influenza,
catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in
the stormy monthaof March. The best
way that we know of to guard against
these diseases is to strengthen the sys4
tenn with Hoods Sarsaparilla-the
greatest of all life guards. 1t removes
the conditions in which these diseases
make their most successful attack, gives
vigor and tone to all the vital organs
and functions, and imparts q genial
warmth to the blood. Remember tha
weaker the system the greater the ex-
posure to disease. Hoods SarsapariIIn
makes the system strong.

a purchase, by the good advice of an ex-

women are those with natural gift for
their work, still for those who have not this
advantage the special training class does
what would otherwise take years of expe-
rience, and enables them instead of start
ing at the very bottom of the ladder, to
take position several rounds up toward
the top. The art of selling goods is now
being taught in New York City by Miss
Hirschler, who was for several years the
manager in a big department store. Her
class is at present the only one in the coun-
try, if not the world. She teaches her
girls to study the personality of all women,
their whims, faneies, and indecisions; to-
classify a woman at glance, and to know
just how to deal with her. A successful
clerk should be an optimist. and have a

says.-she puts great emphasis on the

teaching are very practical. She has her
girls go thru all the form of selling and

| cited patriotic poem on the Flag.
And. speaking of Flags, the Flags on
that platform during the evening were
beauties. Mrs. Wadsworth has been
the beginning of the work in the Wo-
mans Relief Corps. She served as Ma
tional Patriotic Instructor, and, natural
ly, when she became Department Presi-
dent paid particular attention to that
branch of the work. Two Flags were
presented to high schools. one TO the
Chelsea and one to the Medford school.
These Flags were of splendid heavy
silk. large size, fringed and beribboned,
with the name of the donors and the
school on the ribbons in heavy gilt let
ters. Then Is smaller Flags were
brought in, all silk. These were pre-
sented to the Horace Mann Deaf Mute
School. 1t was a mighty pretty thing
to look at, all those waving Flags, tine
white-gowned women who were carry
ing them, and then there were lots of
flowers presented. While the Flags were
upon the platform, and just after the
presentation, Mrs. Ball, who has long
been connected with the patriotic work
of both Department and National, was
invited to give toast to the Flag,
which was received with much enthu-
siasm. The Communicated Chief and
others of the guest party made brief
but interesting talks, that of the Ma
tional President being among the very
best. There was lots of good music and
good fellowship, and, taking it alto-
gether. it was Campfire that will be
long remembered by those who were
there.
Installation.
The Department officers of the Relief
Corps were installed by the National
President, Mrs. Maria Going acting as
conductor of the ceremonies. This is
the first public installation in many
years in the Department of Massachu-
setts. Mrs. Wadsworth was i'll, and in
in the hospital when it came time to be
installed year ago, and that ceremony
was performed in the private room in
the hospital, when it was not known if
she would ever come out of it alive but
she did, very much alive. Mrs. Wads-
worth stated that she had then made
up her mind that the world should
know what the Relief Corps was doing.
ana SO planned that her successor
should have public installation.
The two Departments of Massachu-
setts are in splendid condition both nu-
merically and financially. They have
done much in a public way, erecting
monuments to their veteran dead on
