The general had approached the
house like a lion; he entered 1t like a
lamb. The fraulein made up a plau-
sible story accounting for the house
being occupied by Germans invited
him and his aid TO be seated and chat
/ tered like a maybe. Indeed. she
| talked so volubly that the general had
but little opportunity TO ask questions
which would have shown the weak
spot in her story. When he rose to
depart she pressed him to come again
and would not consent to his going
until he had promised to do so.
The result of this reception was that
the next day the general set OF at
tended only by single orderly and
made a call on Fraulein Borngelsser.
The same evening the two captains OF
his staff stole away and called upon
their wives. The party discussed the
matter of the generals visits anxious
w. for IL be should discover what was
going on the officers commissions
would not be worth the parchment
they were printed on. All agreed that
their safety depended on the skill with
which the fraulein kept the general
from getting the facts.
The young lady was equal TO the oc-
casion. She threw spell around the
elderly bachelor. going so far as to
elicit proposal. This she held in
allegiance until she could consult her
heart and her parents. The general
was forced to wait
A climax came at last. One morning
the officer of the day announced TO
the general that the wives Of two Of
his officers were living in close prox-
unity to the camp.
Where? Who has disobeyed the or
der in this matter?" snapped the gen.
eral
THE house is white one with four
pillars In its front. 1t is the first house
on the right beyond the stream"
The general stood looking at the Off
Ger without speaking for time, then
found voice to ask:
Whose wives are theref"
THE wives of Captains Schwab and
Henner."
The general staggered.

gasped THAT will do"
Fortunately for all concerned the di.
vision OF General Puffenheim was or
dered to march TO Paris the next
morning or there might have been an
upheayal that would have gone hard
with the two captains and might have
made the commander the laughing
stock of the army. he never saw
Fraulein Borngeisser again, and his
animosity toward the gentler sex finally
occasioned stroke of apoplexy. from
which he died.

A CRITICAL.
POSITION

During the Franco-Prussian war q
division occupying strategic point
In Alsatia under General Puffenheim
was encamped In a pleasant valley In
which there were scattered dwellings.
0fficers' wives were not allowed to
accompany the army, and General Puff
fen4,lm was great stickler for the
enforcement of this order. He was an
old bachelor. and a crusty one at that.
Women aroused in him a satanic ire.
Half a mile down the road from the
generals headquarters was a house
which had been abandoned by the
French family who occupied it on the
approach of the Germans. One day
Captain Schwab and Captain Henner,
two young officers Of the staff who had
left brides in Germany, passed this
| house.
| what scheme It would be. Schwab.
If we could bring our wives here and
put them In that house."
"old Pun would rout them out be.
fore they had been there six hours and
we would be court martialed."
Later the two officers decided to
make the experiment. When their
wives appeared they brought with
them Fraulein Lena Borngeisser.
sister of Mrs. Henner. Fraulein Born
geisser was very beautiful and other
wise attractive woman. Indeed. she
was the belle Of Stuttgart. where she
lived, half the men there being in love
with her.
One day General Puffenheim rode past
the house just as Frau Schwab was
calling in excellent German to Fran
Henner, who was leaning out of an
upper window. The general refined in
his horse.
Captain" he said to Schwab. who
was attending him at the time. there
are German women in that house. The
people about here are all French. That
house was deserted by its occupants
when we came here. | know that. for
thought of making It my headquar-
German. | should not be surprised If
some Of our officers have been bringing
their wives here"
Now. the two ladies' had seen the
general rein in his horse and sur
vey them like a thundercloud. Mrs.
Schwab went into the house. and Mrs.
Henner disappeared from the window.
The general spurred his horse to the
gate, dismounted and, directing his aid
to follow him. stalked up to the house.
The two wives sent Fraulein Borngeis-
ser to receive him. Captain Schwab
stood back and put his finger to bis
lip, looking knowingly at the young
lady as signal that she must give
away nothing and not recognize him.
She received the general with a most
engaging smile.
"Ah, mein Herr General" she ex.
claimed enthusiastically. How glad

There is In Germany what is known
as the German Pedigree Book" or
"Deutsches Geschlechterbueh. The
purpose of the pedigree book. accord
ing to a Berlin correspondent. is to
record the ancestry not of mobiles,
but Of bourgeois persons who can
prove that they are OF genuine middle
class or working class ancestry and
have no noble bIood in their veins.
The editor explains In his preface that,
while many German mobiles tout of
court and material considerations have
not kept their blood pure. there are
many good business class families
which have managed to do So" By
thus encouraging the proper pride Of
such families the pedigree book is do
ing much to eradicate the traditional
envy Of the mobiles.

kahars Who Can Regularly Make 9
Hundred Miles Day.
Ordinary Marathon races seem rath
er insignificant compared with the
regular performances OF a certain east
Indian caste. These kahars, also
known as Jhinwarb, live in the Pun
jab. where for centuries they have
acted as runners. fishermen and water
fowl catchers.
The men are trained runners and are
said to be able TO go hundred miles a
day without resting, According TO
Baily's Magazine. there Is a we'll au'
thentlcated instance that Tika Ram,
the son OF Lalu Ram. carried dis
patches 800 miles in three days-from
Mean-Mir to Meerut,
The point discussed. however, is
whether the normal exertions of the
Kahar post runners and the similar ex-
ertions of jinrikisha men shortened
their lives, and II appears that the Ka-
hars. trained from childhood TO be dis
lance runners. live to be old men. They
are not only able 10 Withstand the
strain of running great distances I'M
der heavy load. but thrive under 1t.
The jinrikisha man, too, notwith-
standing his irregular diet, excessive
use of liquor and exposure to the ele-
ments, lives to reasonable age. In
Tokyo when census was taken Of the
jinrikisha men a few years ago there
were found to be more than 1900 who
were over fify-five years Of age.

Barre People.

Barre People.
One kidney remedy never fails.
Barre people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Barre testimony proves it always re-

Mrs. Frank Jones, 100 South Main

years ego, when living in Worcester,
began to suffer from kidney trouble and
had such terrible pains in my
back at times that could
hardly get about. If l arose
too quickly after stopping, sharp twinges
darted through my hips and often had
severe attacks of dizziness. II
was impossible for me to sleep well, and
during the day | felt tired and worn
out. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills, did so, although ! had not much
faith in them. After using them
a few days, / found that they were
helping me, and continued taking thex
until the pains in my back had entirely
disappeared, The other symptoms of my
trouble were also greatly relieved and
| felt better in every way"
The above statement was given by
Mrs. Jones on November 10, 1905. and

THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP
Samose Ideal Flesh Builder Says Drug.
gist d. F. Davis.

SiSl ~. Il. DdNlS.
Thin people are simply suffering from
want of nourishment!
If you are thin, it is because the food
you eat is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building uI
the flesh and tissue as it should,
You can readily get plump and rosy
by using Samose, tissue forming food
which when taken with the meals, inn
mediately becomes a flesh building and
life giving element in the blood.
Use Samoe for few days and in
crease Of life, vigor and weight is felt
and you will notice yourself getting
plump and rosy.
d. +. Davis is introducing Samose to
his customers and recommends it high
ly, he gives the best proof OF his belief
that Samose win do all that is claimed
for it by offering to refund the money
if it fails to increase the weight and
restore good health.
