SET TWAIN AT "WORK"
HOW GEN. SHERMAN MADE HU.
MORlST PAY FARE.
Author Compelled to Pose as Famous
Soldier While the Latter Smoked
Contentedly in His Private
Car.

Albert Bigelow Paine tells OF the
time when Mark Twain on his way
TO West Point to deliver an address
found himself in the same train with
General Sherman. who had been at
tending a dinner in Hartford.
"A pleasant incident followed, which
Clemens himself used TO relate. Gen.
Sherman attended the banquet and
Secretary of War Robert Lincoln.
Next morning Clemens and Twichell
were leaving for West Point, where
they were to address the military stu
dents, guests on the same special
train on which Lincoln and Sherman
had their private car. This car was
at the end of the train. and when the
two passengers reached the station
Sherman and Lincoln were out on the
rear platform addressing the multi
tude. Clemens and Twichell went in
and, taking seats, waited for them.
las the speakers finished the train
started, but they still remained out
side, bowling and waving to the as
sembled citizens, so that it was under
good Roadway before they came in.
Sherman came up to Clemens, who
sat smoking unconcernedly.
We'll he said. who told you you
could go in this carp
Nobody said Clemens.
Do you expect to pay extra fare?'
asked Sherman
NO said Clemens; L don't expect
to pay any fare
90, you don't! Then you'll work
your way
Sherman took Off his coat and mill
tary hat and made Clemens put them
on.
Now said he, whenever the train
stops you get out on the platform
and represent me and make speech.
1T was not long before the train
stopped and Clemens, according to or
ders, stepped out on the rear platform
and bowed to the crowd. There was
cheer at the sight of his military
uniform. Then the cheer waned, be-
came a murmur of uncertainty, fol-
lowed by an undertone of discussion.
Presently somebody said:
"'Say, that amt Sherman; that's
Mark Twain which brought another
( cheer.
Then Sherman had to come out,
too, and the result was that both
spoke. They kept this up at the diff
ferent stations and sometimes Robert
Lincoln came out with them, and when
there was time all three spoke, much
to the satisfaction OF their audiences"

FRAGILITY OUT OF FASHION
Girls Of Today Seek Health and Take

1t is no longer fashionable with the
fair sex to feign delicacy. nor are the
girls OF the coming generation Actual
ed by an insane desire to appear fra
gile and genteel at the expense OF
health. The scores of buxom, bright
eyed young ladies one will meet In
any Of our public thoroughfares any
afternoon is ample evidence OF the
truth Of the assertion, says Woman's
Life. No longer do the fair ones seem
wan and pale to look upon, nor is their
style OF locomotion suggestive of eff
fort; but, on the contrary, nearly all
seem strong and 1.-THE of limb, and
with cheeks suffused with the rudy
glow of health. Doctors generally
agree that there is far less sickness
among the sex than had formerly been
the case. and this could be attributed
solely to the glorious practice young
ladies have of late acquired OF testing
their capabilities as pedestrians, and
in engaging in other forms Of light
physical exercise. 1t is to be hoped
that the good work will go on.

Crepe Paper Gifts.

For those who cannot afford to ex-

there is nothing more satisfactory
for fancy work than the making of
objects Of braided crepe paper. This
material costs but few cents, unless
ribbons and silk or satin are used In
combination with che paper. The
work is of the utmost simplicity, al
though the finished product appears
to be an imposing piece of work. One

1t is interesting to learn from the

was tried at Adrianople with result
which went little further than pre-
dicted. Lieutenant Popoff, aviator

flight not for the purpose OF attack by
dropping bombs. but to view and re-
port on the disposition OF the Turkish
forces. says the Pittsburg Dispatch
In doing so he got within the Turkish
line OF fire, and a shot from the Turk

his machine. Much attention has been
given, especially in Europe. to devils

Why Malaria Makes
Us HOT nn0 COLD

TyVERYONE who has had malaria
n knows the horrible sensation of alter
mating burning fever and body-rack-
ing chills, but it is doubtful if you know
just why they skip about, to the extremes of
physical discomfort. and probably during
such moments you are more anxious for a
cure than you are to learn the cause.
The germs of malaria, as it has only
recently been proven, come from the saliva
that is on the probiscus of the malarial
mosquito. This probiscus saliva gets into
the blood and leaves the germs. When
they enter the blood each germ starts di-
rectly for red corpuscle. Mr.. Mosquito
Malaria germ promptly attacks the red
cofpuscle, eats way right into it, takes a
rest after his first victory, and divides him
