ALITTLE TENNIS GAME.

From the Times-Picayune.
You win the toss and choose the
serve,
The champion stands beyond the
net.
His lip 1t has a genial curve,
You feel your own jaw set.
You put your weight into your swing
And serve an ace-I mean
II should have been an ace, but ping"
The score is Love fifteen"
You move unto the other side
Anu try a sharp reverse,
He'll never get it-far too wide
For him go call a hearSe!"
You have him dead! Tie on the crepe
I call that trick too dirty,
He chops the ball just DER the tape
And scorer calls: "Love-thirty!'
Again you serve a mighty ball
And rush to net, instanter.
You see the champions laurels fall
As you win in a canter.
But 10. a gentle little lob
Floats DER and whispers: shorty:
You're not quite equal to the job"
The scorer calls: "Love-forty:
You grit teeth ard serve anew
This time he can't return it
The twist has made bounce askew-
It's easy when you learn it!
But just as all the world looks fine
Ball sizzles past your frame:
1t clips the corners whitewashed line
And scorer calls: Love game"

Col. Whistler Distinguished Officer

Col. Garland N Whistler. U S. A,
retired, who died at Pensacola, Fla.
June Is. 1914, was known as very
distinguished officer and courteous
Christian gentleman, says the Army
and Navy Journal. Like many other
deserving officers, however, he never
received the rank which his services
merited. The family of Col. Whistler
have served as commissioned officers
from father to son for 120 years, with
honor to themselves and credit to their
country. but Colonel Whistler is the
last. The REORGANIZATION, Major
John whistler. was commissioned in
the levles in 1871, and his commission
in the Regular Army as ensign, LIST
Infantry, was dated April II, 1892. A
, son. Col. William Whistler, entered
Infantry, June 8, 1901; was retired as
colonel of the 4th Infantry Oct. 9,
1861, and died Dec. 4, 1868. His son,
Bvt. Brig. Gen. J. n. G. Whistler,
father Of the late Col. G. n. Whistler.
entered the service as a commission
colonel CT the 18th Infantry Oct. 10,
1886, and died April 20, 1899. Col. G..
N. Whistler was born in New York
Aug. 10, 1847, and was commissioned
second lieutenant. 9Th Artillery, Oct.
8. 1867. He was retired for age Aug.
10. 1911. after forty-four years of &C
tive service. Prior to being commis
stoned he had some active service on
his fathers staff during the Civil War,
but as, unfortunately, this serice is not
of record, 1t did not help him to OBJ
tain an advanced grade upon his re-
tirement. Colonel Whistler suffered
more from the inequalities of regi-
mental promotion than any other Of

he became greatly interested in rifle
the military championship of the Uni

the study of wind effect upon pro-
jectiles, and he published the first
scientific article upon that subject in
this country. He obtained permission
from the secretary of war to fire 100
rounds from the Sinch converted rifle
TO test his theories. The result of this
test was the publication of his Tables

or all OF the computing devices used
today in fire control. During his ex-
periments with the S-inch converted

of error in artillery practice, espec

Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up of a
com animation of pure vegetable oils
is producing wonderful results for suf-
ferers from stomach, liver and intes-

where it has been used for years by
the paasantry, was introduced into
this country by George H. Mayr, a
leading Chicago druggist. who cured
himself OF severe stomach, liver and
Intestinal troubles by its use. Those
who have used it say the first dose
is sufficient to convince any one OF
its remarkable merit, and that within
twenty-fo four hours the sufferer feels
like q new person. This medicine.
