AS WAR
RfHaglNl!s!,!c!tn4E(5sSs
SOUTHERNER HAD NO STATE
Officer Was Born In Territory, Father
In District of Columbia and Grand
father at Sea.

Just before the Civil war, when the
mutterings of secession were heard
throughout the south, a number OF
West Point officers came together at a
military station, among them one
of whom we will call Captain H,
and who afterward served with dis.
tinction in the Union army. The
southern officers, one by one, declared
their intention of going out" as it
was then Familiarity called that is,
of resigning their federal commissions
to throw in their lot with their several
states. H, in relating the Incl.
dent that follows, said that great pres.
sure was brought to bear upon him
to Join them.
Why don't you go with us, Cap
tain H-?" said one of his acquaint-
ances.
why should go with you?" said
H, who had a certain southern
swarthiness of feature and softness
Of speech.
Aren't you going to go with your
state?"
why, | haven't any state" he re-
piled; 81 was born in territory"
"Oh, thunder" said another. why
don't you go with your fathers state,
them"
Cant" protested H; 'he. hadn't
any state; he was born in the District
of Columbia"
"Oh, hang it," broke in a third; IF
that's the case, why don't you go with
your grandfather's state?"
Just as difficult" said H; my
grandfather hadn't any state; he was
born at sea-" And then he added: ooh,
no, boys, it's easy enough for you fell
lows to 60 with your states, or"-fix-
ing his eyes significantly on one of
the party-"with your wifes state; but
as for me, intend to stand by the old
flag. From the Century.

The Limit.

An Irishman at a magazine eXplo-
sion was picked up unconscious. The
doctor decided he had no bones brok-
en- and had only been knocked sense
less. AS he came to his senses the
doctor was holding a glass of water
to his lips
"Phat happened?" he asked.
THE magazine exploded, and you
had a very narrow escape, and I'm
giving you this water to revive YOU"
replied the doctor
"Givin' me wather after bein' blow
ed up?" said Pat in disgust In

delicate situation. Now the lady had pre-
viously used DIR. Kennedy's Favorite REM
Iody and she and her family knew of its
value. The doctors finally decided to allow
her to use it and they found that the results
were more satisfactory than from any other
treatment they had tried. AS they were
broad minded and honest men, they advised
her to continue its use, in connection with
their own general treatment. Aided, there
fore, by Favorite Remedy, the good lady
steadily improved and she is now in most
excellent health.
We will give the names of all parties
upon request. We cite this case as further
proof that DR.. Kennedys Favorite Remedy
is highly valuable preparation, as safe as
it is efficient, for the most delicate person.
For nearly 40 years it has enjoyed steady
success in the treatment of Liver, Kidney
and Blood disorders. Send to-day for a

Grim Humor.

Even on the field of battle the sol
died is humorous. sometimes grimly
so. A soldier was seen in the trenches
holding his hands above the earth
works. His captain asked:
What are you doing that for?"
He replied with a grim, as he
worked his fingers: I'm feeling for

Decorating the Eyebrows.

1t is generally agreed that wom'
ans eyebrows should be delcately and
nicely penciled, but fancy plays
strange freaks as to color. In central
Africa women stain them with indigo,
and Georgian damsels blacken theirs.
Japanese ladies, when married, re-
move their eyebrows altogether, so
that their husbands may have no
cause for jealousy.
