AZTEC MEM BERS.
A Few Words by "StonewalP' jackson
Saved Two Lives.

Members Of the Aztec club dineG
in Washington a night or TWO ago
There were thirty-two members OF the
organization present, but OF this num-
Der Gully two were charter members
Gen. Horatio G.. Gibson and Gen. Rob
ert Murray, both Of whom are on the
retired list of the United States army
There are only a few Of the original
members of the Aztec club now liV-
ing. The organization was on the last
battlefield of the Mexican war. Ofi'
GERS who took part in the stormlne
of Chapultepec and Mexico City were
eligible to membership. Gen. Scout
who led the victorious American
forces, was a charter member, and
so were Gen. Grant, Gen. Lee. Gen
Stonewall Jackson and a score OF
other soldiers who fought in the Civil
war. Membership in this society /:
now obtained by heredity, the sons
and grandsons of original members
having the privilege Of joining.
Not long ago in the Post an edi-
torial was printed which called atten'
ton to the fact that Col. ParmenaS
r. Turnkey of Highland Park. ILL.,, was
the roommate for four years at West
Point of Gen. Stonewall Jackson. Col
TURNKEY. who is still living, vigorous
and soldierlike. is a charter member
of the Aztec club, having Joined with
his roommate and fellow soldier II
the Mexican war, Thomas j. Jack
son. While Col. Turnkey was in Mex
leo with the army he and the future
"Stonewalr' general Of the Confed-
crate army left camp for stroll uI
mountain. They lost their way
night came on, and they were not faI
from the camp of the enemy. Finally
they ran into a Mexican, who showed
instant suspicion of their motives In
being so near the outposts OF the army
of defense.
The two American officers were
afraid to accept the guidance of the
Mexican. feeling that he would lead
them to a place where they would FIND
themselves prisoners. Lieut.. Jackson
|-Stonewal was only a lieutenant
then-had been a devoted student OF
the Spanish language while he was
a cadet at the military academy, anG
he put his perfect Spanish to good
use. TURNKEY never knew thoroughly
what Jackson said to the Mexican
but the guides demeanor changed in
stantly from one of suspicion to one
of pleased to do you a service. He
led TURNKEY and Jackson back to the
American lines. and In later years the
Highland Park soldier wondered who
would have filled the place Of Jack
son in the Confederate service If thai
guide had led them to the Mexican
camp and they had been shot as spies

wall of the general store reading yes

day. Inside the store the postmaster
could be heard sorting the mail, but
without everything was still and peace

rattle, and from somewhere there ap-
peared a negro driving an unpainted
wagon drawn by a mule. He drew up
with a loud whoa in front of the store.

and love, the Eskimo bride looks out
upon a loveless future And tender
hearted souls everywhere are asking if
this system of marriage is never to
change.
Because she is a woman, why should
not Providence let the same divine
rays of love shower their warmth and
blessing upon the life of the Eskimo
bride. as falls upon that of her sister
woman, that is, if love is to remain the
same as always? And, despite
science, or whatever else may conspire
to have it otherwise. so long as the
world lasts, there is every reason that
has been vouchsafed to mortals to be-
lieve that love itself will last.
And so say the interested ones, may
the march of the nations bring to the
Eskimo the day of the tender court
ship.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Conditions Reversed.-One of the
finest examples of ''pawky" humor Is
placed to the credit of an old gardener
who was in the service of Admiral OF
the Fleet Sir Alexander Milne. The
admiral was a grand old man, full OF
goodness and kindness, but strict
disciplinarian. The gardener having
omitted to do something which he had
been told to do, his master said to him;
When 1 was on board ship l would
have had you put in irons for disobe-
dience."
The old gardener was not much per-
turbed at the idea, but, leaning on his
spade, replied:
AYE, maybe, Sir Alexander, but
when ye were on board ship ye had q
hunder men tae dae ae job, an moo ye
hae ae man tae dae hunder jobs"

CHASED BY "RATTlER."
Sportsmen Have Thrilling Experience
In Arizona.


Abject fear of rattlesnakes was in
grained in the hearts of two Chicago
sportsmen who journeyed recently to
the wilds of Arizona. They were told
however. that few snakes crawled
and had their being in the particular
region which they proposed to visit
and therefore sailed forth from the
city for their western destination with
no misgivings. The story Of an ad-
venture which betook them while
hunting for game near the city OF
Phoenix is now being retailed by their
friends in Chicago.
The camp of the two Chicagoans
was pitched in a wild region where
one of the men had mine interests
Learning that game was plentiful ir
the neighborhood, the two sportmer
shouldered their guns one morning
and set out in quest Of it. About q
mile of hilly. wooded country filled
with underground had been traversed
when one Of the hunters heard a
noise. 1t sounded suspiciously like
rattle and seemed to proceed from
dense patch of bushes.
What was that?" he whispered
the fear of snakes entering his mind
Notwithstanding the denials Of native
Arizona settlers that few reptiles
dwelt thereabouts.
"I don't know" quaked his friend
1T sounded like"
There it is again." the first broke
in as his frightened friend trod softly
to his side and tremblingly prepared
his gun for possible action. The rus
tie of the gun and the click of the
lock as 1t was cooked, brought an
other rattling noise to their ears.
"It amt in the bush. It's right
near u.s." shouted the other. "It's
snake and I'm going to get out OF
here"
And then the rout began.
The two hunters, neither Of whom
is Of slim build, dropped their weap-
ons and with a combined shrek OF
terror fled in panic They crashed
headlong through the underbrush OF
the hill sides rolling and crawling tc
the bottom of each declivity, but pick
ing themselves up after each fall and
struggling in rapid flight again
Notwithstanding the violence Of theil
exertions and the swiftness of thei1
retreat the noise of the rattle came
plainly to their ears after a particu-
larly hard fall down the side Of q
precipitous bluff.
Hes chasin' u.s." gasped one OF
the terror stricken sportsmen.
HE sure is" echoed his compan-
ion. as with one supreme effort the
winded and perspiring city men got
to their feet and dashed from the spo,
toward their camp. Up and down
hills and across small valleys and
through woods they sped with the
ever present sound Of the rattle close
at their heels. A view Of their ten,
in the distance lent wings to theii
feet. They literally flew as the rat
tling sound seemed more and more
suggestive Of venom. At last the camp
was reached and they flung them.
selves upon the ground with the last
ounce of their strength.
AS the body Of one struck the eartr
the rattle seemed more plain than
ever. although they were In oper
ground and no sign of their late enc
my appeared in sight. Whenever ne
moved the sound reached his senses
Could it be that? He put his hano
In his hip trousers pocket and drew
out a small pasteboard box half hlieo
with pills.-Chicago News.

tanning a specimen of scaleless aquatic
life, called popularity "a fish with legs -

scaleless animal, which is blind, has a
dorsal cartilaginous cord instead Of a
true skeleton, has teeth in a small
head, mouth on the under side and a
protruding jaw and dorsal skin flap
resembling fin, apparently the link
