Col. Walter Hartman, Noted Soldier
and Campaigner, Feared One
Speech Would Destroy Rep
utation and Declined.

When an orator has gained a great
reputation he should stop speaking -
James A. Garfield, himself no mean
orator, once said to a friend. And
this is an anecdote of another famous
orator who agreed fully with Garfield.
One of the fighters of the Union
army who gained distinction for his
bravery was Walter Hartman, colonel
of a New Hampshire regiment He
was wounded several times, and was
once taken prisoner. He was sent to
Charleston, 8. c., where he found a
large company of Union officers. A
few days after Colonel Harriman's ar
rival at Charleston it became known
that the Union forces had established
a battery with one great gun, called
the Swamp Angel" upon an island
in the harbor about four miles distant
from the city, the Confederate author
tiles in Charleston having been in
formed by the Union commander that
it was his intention to shell the city.
This warning was given in order that
acknowledgements, especially the women
and children, could be removed to a
place of safety before firing began.
Thereupon the Confederate officers de-
cided to select some fifty federal Off
GERS and place them day and night in
a most exposed position, and the COM
handing officer of the Union army
was informed of that purpose.
Among the fifty selected was Colonel
Hartman. The Smelling of the city
bagan, but it caused comparatively lit
tie damage and did no harm to any
of the Union officers, although Colonel
Hartman afterwards declared his en-
forced exposure to the fire of the great
guns caused far greater apprehension
than any that he had experienced
while in battle. However, none of
Colonel Harriman's fellow officers saw
the slightest indication of timidity on
his part. He was entirely composed,
saying to his companions: This is
one of the chances of war;
At the close of the Civil war Colonel
Hartman returned to New Hamp-
shire. He speedily gained great repu-
tation as a political orator. He was

A HEREFORD Bon Mot.

Oliver HEREFORD and a friend were
strolling through a section of town
that was plentifully strung with pull
ley lines on which many a family
''wash" was waving in the wind Mr.
Herford's companion called attention
to the manner in which these gar
ments shut out the sky and otherwise
disfigured the landscape. Mr.. HEREFORD
gazed at them thoughtfully and then
gently murmured: The short and
simple fannels of the poor"

The Modish Sash.

The Paris artists of fashion have de
creed that sashes shall be worn.
They will be seen in many forms
and upon various occasions
The japanese bow is in high favor.
The adapted obi is made of a wide
band Of velvet which reaches almos.
to the shoulders and makes the back
look absurdly short.
The wearer Of this velvet obi looks
as if she had tied a small bolster to
her back
Then there is the monstrous butter
fly bow for evening wear.
To secure the effect wide piece of
silk or chiffon s tied about the waist;
then caught behind into two huge
wings.
These are twisted in the center and
spread out to be caught in points just
below the shoulders

bellows and gown yourself accord
ingly.
Some of the more elaborate of tie
voile frocks for afternoon wear are
embroidered in scallops around the
bottom of the skirt, and under the
scallops is placed a broad band of
black velvet ribbon.
Others are plain around the bottom,
with the straight overskirt edged
with ball fringe
Here the black velvet is used to
give the waist line and is made into
a chic bow with ends in the back or
at the side-back.
A particularly striking model has
black velvet around the edge of the
sleeves, finished on the top with a
bow.
A tailored tie, the ends caught with
silk tassels, gives touch of black at
the front
One unusual white chiffon evening
gown is given long sweeping lines by
bands of ribbon placed across the
shoulders and extended to the hem Of
the dress.

Mendina WooIen Goods

Wooden goods should always be
mended when possible with a ravel-
ing of the same, but any one who has
tried it knows how difficult it is to
thread needle with wooden thread
However, this can be easily accom-
plished in the following manner:
Take a short piece of fine thread,
double it and thread the needle with
it: now put the end of the wooden
thread or raveling through the loop
thus formed and draw all back through
the eye Of the needle. In this way
finer needle can be used than if one
undertakes to thread with the wool
direct.

Woman Not Warmly Clad

Doctors have recently testified with
rather an unusual degree of unanim.
ity, that women in these days do not
dress warmly enough; that neuras-
thenia is often the result of wearing
clothing of insufficient thickness. It
is not poverty, they say, but style, that
causes the difficulty. Women cannot
initiate the sylph-like maiden of the
fashion plate and wear heavy under
wear and thick dresses Fashion. with
beautiful disregard to the changing
seasons, demands gauzy stockings, low
shoes, decollete gowns and short
sleeves. The result is too often pneu-
monia Or an exhaustion of vitality and
nerve force in the effort to keep warm.

Tired and dusty, a party were re-

Simkins, little bald man, seated him
self to read, but dropped off to sleep.
On the rack was ferocious crab in

sleep the crab woke up, and finding
things dull in the bucket, started ex-

Grab reached the edge of the rack.
Down it fell, alighting on Simkin's
shoulder, where it grabbed the mans

several men of other nationalities, and
had imbibed several beverages. He
was extremely anxious, moreover, to
uphold the glories of Erin, but was
not quite so sure of what was going

remarked:

Havoc Wrought by Diamond.


A recent night inspection of sta
ton on the Minnesota division re-
vealed the fact that the only waiting
room was poorly lighted. Some of the
kerosene lamps had no chimneys at
all. One lamp was spruced up a bit
by having a mutilated half chimney
that by comparison threw a respect
able light.
On inquiry the agent explained that
the duty of taking care of the lamps
fell to the baggageman, who recently
bought a diamond ring which he were
on all occasions. Cleaning chimneys
at this particular station is accom-
plished by blowing into the globe and
rubbing it until daylight is visible. The
diamond in this instance wrought sad
havoc with the chimneys, which were
so badly etched by it that a slight
heat knocked them into smithereens.

Avoid Crude CoIors.

In selecting chintzes and cretonnes
for a ivable house one must careful
ly avoid confused designs and crude
colors, for they can very easily and
quickly become tiresome Another
point to be considered, especially
when trying to find cheap chintzes,
is the fastness of the coIors When
using them merely for curtains they
are easily changed, but the cost of
upholstering precludes frequent

:
an organism untitled for the trial OF
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child. and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy, and strong.
