A HERO OF OTHER DAYS

When Augusta was not quite as we'll
settled as it is at present, and there
was more thickly wooded country to
the north Of the city than here now is,
1t was not such an uncommon thing
fast color black bear occasionally,
quite close to town.
This bear story. then, is not fictinn.
1t happened, as several local people
are able and willing to testify One
beautiful summer afternoon an Angus
ia young man and two fair damsels
were strolling down a woody lane a
little way out of town, enjoying the
songs of the birds and the beauties of
Nature generally, entirely unsuspi-
cious of approaching calamity or peril.
They had just crossed a little stream,
when, suddenly turning a bend in the
wood road. they came face to face with
big, black monster.
"A bear!" shrieked both the girls
looking around for their male protec-
tor. But alas, and also alack! He was
doing his level darndest to beat the
previous record for a mile run, and had
got fine flying start, beating out the
pistol by several seconds. Left thus to
their own devices, the girls lit out in
his foaming wake, and the animal
closely pursued.
After sprinting themselves out Of
breath, they came to camp and
found to their absolute horror that
their companion had intrenched him
self therein. In vain they screamed to
him to open the door and save them
from immediate and awful death, but
he was looking out for himself and his
intention was to keep that door lock-
ed, no matter what the consequences
to the girls. On came the big black
brute, and when he got to within a
few yards Of the girls he opened his
cavernous jaws and--commenced wag-
ging his bushy tail, for it was, 10 and
behold! a neighbours big black shep-
herd dog. The girls had hard work con-
vincing the male speciman inside the
locked camp that it was really and
truly safe for him to come out, but he
finally did, and they slowly wendell
their blithesome way homeward.
Now comes the grand finale. One of
those girls, who had certainly received
striking and indisputable proof that
this man was anything but a protector,
so far forgot herself as to marry the
hero Of my tale, shortly afterwards

The Old Grand Army Boys.
published by request, author unknown

L
You may talk about the Masons
And the Odd Fellows and such;
You can call them so fraternal
AS to fairly beat the Dutch;
You may praise them If you choose,
With their mystic rites and noise,
But they cannot hold a candle
To the Old Grand Army Boys.
For a man that has the money
Can learn all about their craft;
He can get degrees and passwords
That would make a funeral laugh;
And be loaded down with symbols,
But for true fraternal joys,
They cannot hold a candle
To the Old Grand Army Boys.
They may talk about their badges,
But the one that has the call
Is the Star. and Flag and Eagle,
That is far above them all.
1t was won where cannon Numbered,
Mid the battles crash and noise,
So there is nothing holds candle
To the Old Grand Army Boys.
Whv. they fought and bled together.
And they shared the prison pen;
They faced the foe in battle
With the elbow touch of men.
Then the compact was cemented
Mid the battle smoke and noise,
So there is nothing holds a candle
To the Old Grand Army Boys.
They fraternal? Well. I reckon
And their charity's all right!
Are they loyal? They have proved it
For they left their homes to fight.
And this nation owes them homage
For the peace it now enjoys!
So there is nothing holds a candle
To the Old Grand Army Boys.

 Ire movement derived much of it's impulse from an early rise in rails, Canadian Pacific leading that division with an extreme gain of 3-S points on very regular trading. New Haven was next in point of strength, gaining four. largely at the expense of 9 short interest while other eastern lines, as well as coalers and southern issues in- proved one to three points. Further activity in Cleveland.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and perspiring, just when they are most dangerous and the result is neuralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles or sometimes an attack of rheumatism. In such cases apply Sloan's Linimeht. It stimulates circulation to the sore and painful part. The blood flows freely and in Q short time the stiffness and pain leaves. Those suffering from neuralgia or neu- ralgic headache will find one or two ap- plications of Sloan's Liniment will give grateful relief. The agonizing pain gives way to a tingling sensation of comfort and warmth and quiet rest and sleep is possible Good for neuritis, too. Price 25c at your druggist.
