CTS into family histories, if put into volume, would form valuable addition to the graver records of a government. Some matters touch ing Benedict Arnold which were perhaps we'll enough known a century ago. but which have lapsed into forgetfulness, found not long ago by revolutionary daughter" who for tain reasons trying to find something to tighten Benedicts black history.
 When it is once said with truth that man is a traitor to his country the damnation is deep enough to keep his contemporaries and follow ing generation two from any attempt to find anything that might redeem the traitors soul from utter backness. Benedict Arnolds name is plotted out of the revolutionary roll of honor on the walls of the chapel at West Point. On some monuments and on many a page of history Ar holds name appears, but nowhere may it be seen separated from the title traitor
 The English, who were to have profited by Arnolds treason, hated the traitor after he had joined their ranks. British officers would hold no fellowship with him and his memory is exc crated in England today. The British loyalsts who left the colonies at the outbreak of the revo- lutionary and went their way into New Brunswick showed Arnold when he afterward went to dwell among them that they held him in nothing short of bathing Arnold has been lik- ened unto Nero and Nero has gained by the com parison. Nero merely iddled as Rome went up in flames, while Arnold is pictured smiling exultanty at the burning under his orders of his birthplace and at the subsequent putting of many of the surrendered Americans to the sword.
 It is told that when New London and Groton were attacked and burned Arnold, commanding the attacking forces, had no, word of reproof for the officer who upon receiving the sword of Col. William Ledyard, the American commander, in token of surrender. murdered the colonial soldier with the weapon which he had presented hilt on

 Its Use.

The story of the minister who held a religious meeting in a penitentiary and aroused the ire of the inmates by announcing as hymn that one beginning The dying thief rejoiced to see," is equaled by the tale of local preacher whose church got in debt not long ago. A congregational meeting was held for the purpose of eXtricating it. and the chairman of the board of deacons, or whatever the financial body was, got up and stated the situation, and ended by calling for special collection to make up the deficit

INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, if not Remedied in Time.

Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago." writes a Topeka woman, that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered ter rlbly, as well as the extreme nervous ness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me.
 Il had been a coffee thinker since childhood. and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when l had to face the fact, and pro- tect myself. l therefore gave up coffee abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum as my hot drink at meals.
 T began to note improvement in my condition very soon after 1 took on Postum. The change proceeded grad ually, but surely, and it was a matter of only few weeks before I found my self entirely relieved-the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and began to sleep, restfully and peace fully.
 These happy conditions have con- tlnued during all of the years, and It am safe in saying that owe them en- ureIy to Postum, for when I began to drink 1t I ceased to use medicine" Read the little book, "The Road to Weilville, in pkgs. There's Reason"

like the names or lnOSe oHiCeiS WAo served in the revolutionary war and which nave nlace on the walls of the old chapel, probably will appear in letters of gold upon black basis
 School histories as rule, in giving account of the Detroit surrender, state simply that Gen Hulls action considered cowardly The fact that he was tried and sentenced to be shot for GOV" ardice is generally omitted. Hull was ordered to 20 to his Massachusetts home and there await the execution of his sentence. Old age executed" him many years afterwards. It is probable that the commemorating society will content tself Wltn simply emitting Hulls name from its list, by which Hull's conduct. characterized as cowardly by competent court, could be made to stand as warning to all the generations of young soldiers
 Occupying a considerable part of the wall space of the beautiful old West Point place of worship there already many black marble memorials bearing the of all the general officers of the revolutionary from Artemus Ward of Con- necticut to George Washington of Virginia. Upon one of these tablets the cadets they file in on Sunday something which tells better than the words of trumpet-tongued eloquence of the black ignominy which attaches to the name of traitor. On of the slabs occupying place between two honored names there appears a black blot. Above and below it show the tips of gold letters. Enough of the lettering is visible to let the ob- server know after moments study that which it is intended in the main to conceal. black block of marble set in transversely across the golden capitals plots out forever from the roll of honor the name of Benedict Arnold, traitor.
 Touching the treason of Benedict Arnold. there is a litte-known story which had for the scene of it's action the four years of the war of secession. In response to the first call of Abra- ham Lincoln for troops young man appeared at Detroit recruiting office and enlisted He went to the front and in the course of six months made a commissioned officer He was of retiring disposition always courteous to his fellow officers and just to his men, but he sought no close friend ships. He was noted throughout the command as a man whose devotion to duty amounted to a pas sion. He sought and secured change in command in order to have a frequent hand in the heavy fighting.
 This soldier rose to the rank of a major. He offered at time a colonelcy. He declined. He fought in every battle of the later Richmond campaign and in at the end at Appomattox The major headed his battalion in the great pa rade of the returning victors up Pennsylvania ave nue. Then there came the final mastering out of the troops. Less than a month afterward the colonel of fighting regiment received a letter bearing Toronto postmark q served all through the war under assumed name I trust that I did my full duty wish you to know that did what l did in order that might in some way make atonement for the deed of one of my family Sir Canadian by birth and my name is John Benedict Arnold"

WhiskerS-

A Roman poet told of the pride one of the late Caesars took in his great whiskers. On some of the wildwood Hill Billies I have seen boards some feet long, switch of the loose ends hanging out from under the waistcoat Others braided the growth and tied it around the neck, while still others braided it around the waist, tying it behind like apron strings. One told me he combed and plaited his every night, and put it away into a long linen bag or nightgown, so as to keep it from getting all tangled up with his wife and his feet.-New York Press.

of offset to Arnold's treatment of the unlucky Americans who met his forces along the banks of the Connecticut Thames
 Gen Arnold had met Gen. Warren in the early spring of i775 and had formed strong personal liking for him. When Warren was killed it was found that he had left no means for the support and education of his four children. Arnold be- the chidren's condition to the attention of the continental congress which promised to do some thing for the little ones, but dillydaed over the matter. Arnold had idea that the congress might not act quickly and so he wrote letter of tender solicitude to Mercy Schoay, who was caring for the Warren children, their mother hay ing died some time before. In this letter Arnold nearly impoverished himself sent order for $500 with instructions that he should be drawn upon for as it was needed. This contribution of the traitor saved Elizabeth, Jo- seph, Mary and Richard Warren from destitu- tion. Arnold was not satisfied with this but he wrote spurrng letters to Sam Adams and John Hancock, of the committee which had the pro- posed congressional appropriation in hand. Then he sent home money and said: Send Rich ard, who is now old enough to the best school that can be found, clothe him handsomely, give him all that he needs and call upon me for any future expense"
 How much food for thought may be found in one of the letters of Benedict Arnold. traitor, written to Miss Sehollay just before his treason. He had sent more money and had congratulated the children on the prospect that the money from congress would be speedily forthcoming. "A country" said Arnold should be ever grateful to the patriot who lays down his life in its de. fense. Greater love hath man than this

 It was Daughter of the Revolu- tion, Mrs. Gilbert W. Warren of Ilion, N. Y. who brought attention to a well-nigh forgotten fragment of Arnold's history. Mrs. Warren, who died recently, was a descendant of Col William Ledyard, who was killed with his own sword after he had sur rendered 1t to an officer serving un- der Arnold. Naturally Mrs. Warren would not be moved by any heredi- tary love for Arnold to start her dig ging up nice things about him. It happens, however, that Mrs. War ren's husband, who survives her, is collaterally descended from Gen. Jo- seph Warren, who fell at Bunker hill.
