1t was II o'clock in the forenoon
when his companions left him. 1t was
noon when he entered the corn field.
1t was shutdown when he heard sounds
as of a body of men and a train Of
wagons moving up the road, and there
upon brought his long prayer to a
close. He crept to a point where he
could see, and sure enough a body Of
federal troops and a wagon train were
passing by.
Hungry and thirsty to the point Of
faintness, Tom was rejoiced beyond
expression when ne discovered a large
number Of fine watermelons in the part
Of the corn field where he was now
standing. Eating as much of the de-
licious fruit as he wished, he crept
along, concealed by the friendly corn,
until he saw the federal force going
into camp near a barn and some cribs.
He remained concealed until after
darkness had fallen, and, fortunately
for him, pale moonlight soon succeed

reconnoitered and discovered that a
number Of horses were grazing not very
far from the barn. The position of the
sentries he could not maxi out, but
the risk Of challenge was one that
must be taken.
Lying down and dragging his saddle
n bride as best he could, he crept
to the nearest horse and tried to Sc
cure it. but the animal gave a slight
snort and ran away from him. He
made several attempts with similar re-
suits, but finally came to a large ami

Quickly placing his saddle and bride

knew sentries were sur to be posted,
he made off into the fields and over

successful pursuit. Then, having a fine
knowledge Of stars and ~woodcraft In

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago l suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
Of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and ap-
%plication of Cuticura Ointment | en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire Illness. l also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
t1nued for about three weeks. At the
end Of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. l would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

The Presidents Pay.
From the Washington Sta,

from the aSnlnBtOn star.
President Roosevelt gets his alary
the last day of each month. 1t is taken
to the White House by a messenger
from the treasurer's Office in the shape
of a check, and handed over to the
official who has been directed to look
after it.
The presidents salary Of $50 900 a
year is divided into eight checks of S4.-
166. 81 each and four checks of S4,-
1856 each. Two months out Of every
three the president gets q check for
the larger sum and the other month
he gets l cent less on his check. This
has been the custom for many years
and a mistake was never made but
once. That was during the second ad-
ministration Of President Cleveland.
One month when his check should have
been s4,166.67, the bookkeepec made It
out for only 81 66. &c. When the books
were balanced at the end of the fiscal
year it was found that the president
was u l cent by the government. The
officials with great solemnity, made out
a check on the United States treasurer
for this amount and forwarded it to
Mr.. Cleveland. Because 1t was the
smallest sum a warrant was ever
drawn for upon the government it was
kept as a souvenir n was never pre-
sented. II the ex-president desires to
do SO at any time it will be promptly
cashed.
President Roosevelt's checks are
taken to the White House by the same
messenger each time. His lame Is VII

Unflatterinq Truth.

q child story at his own expense. The
five children Of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay In the ~improvised home hos
p!tal they failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly fiattered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most fndiscreet let slip
the better truth.

Controlled Newspapers.

4 Atchtson Globe says that no ad-
vert1ser has ever tried to control Its ed
ttorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days. that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy Of newspapers.
The experience Of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal Of ad-
verttstng Is more interested in the cir
culation department OF a newspaper
than In the editorial department. II q
daily paper goes to the homes OF the
people, and is'read by them, he is salts
fed. and 1t may chase after any theory
or fad. for all he cares. He has troubles
OF his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those Of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside Of the editorial rooms,
and a good many Of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic ~oficeseekers, whose
--N-
drst concern is their own interests.
There. are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts Of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows q decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money. and make it possible far him to
carry On the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have %considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is u~ngrateful for the patron
age of his friends. It is a funny COM
