What the Duke Said.

The duke Of Wellington, Of course,
never said up, guards, and at 'em!"
ct Waterloo, but is it generally known
how near he came to saying it? Sir
Herbert Maxwell, in his biography Of
the duke points out what is the prob
able origin of the pleasing legend. Late
on the afternoon of that memorable
June rs the First and Second Battal-
ions Of the Third Chassours were
foremost ia the attack on Mont Saint
Jean. They had reached a crossroad,
unaware that the British troops were
living behind the wayside banks. ac-
cording to orders, to remain prone

REMEDY FOR "R0SY NOSE"
Frequently Careful Chewing and a
Pinch of Biearbonate After Meals
rsr'" VIII at Least Help.

H ~ aa o.
If the nose gets very red after eat
ing, or the skin of the face splotches
in an unbeeoming manner, the patient
may be certain that her digestion is
but of order. Careful chewing is the
first requirement for q cure Of this
unbecoming flushing, and little lime
water or a pinch of bicarbonate could
be taken after the meal At all times
the lean woman should strive to relax
and do things slowly. She should
strive to encourage the joyous bee IN
her bonnet instead of the sorrowful
one. She should eat when she is hun
cry, if it be so often as six times a
day, drink plenty of fresh water, take
sun baths and sleep in a well venti-
lated room. When she is on her feet
a warm room will be far more con-
ducive to health and plumpness than
a cold one, and If she could get little
holiday in a genuinely tropical eli
mate she would be still further bene-
flied. But a quiet spirit and plenty
Of nourishing food and rest are the es-
sential things, and if these require
ments are not considered there is not
the least use of going any further.
The travellers who take storm and
stress along with them will never find
the fountain of health and youth, es-
pecially il they are the thin sort.

MADE THEM BOTH ASHAMED
FraI Newsboy Taught Irritable Bust
ness Men the Folly Of Giving
Way to Temper.

Apparently IL had been a bad day
for the big, pompous business man,
and he must have dealt heavily in
wheat just before the 10000 00-bushel
contract was cancelled, for he slammed
his office door shut with a bang and
mumbled something profane concern
ing the breaks in the market as he
shambled out into the street.
He might have known that one of
us would have to turn out, but he ex-
pected ME to do it, and | wasn't in a
pleasant frame of mind myself, what
with trying headache all afternoon
and fuss with the boss. So | didn't
propose to get out of somebody's way
when | was on the right side and he
was wrong
Well, we couldn't walk through each
other, so we just n&urally came to-
gether, while the big business man
proceeded to cuss me as he had just
| finished cursing the market, and |
tried to make him understand that he
couldn't walk over me, regardless Of
markets.
Then Benny came hobbling along;
Benny Paul, who was whistling to
beat the band His small, frail body
was bert on crutches and he was lug
ging q big bundle Of papers that
seemed almost too much for him, but
he was whistling Just the same. Not
worry nor a care, making the best
of today and hoping for the best from
an uncertain tomorrow. He stopped
and smiled. Paper, mister?' he called
choerily.
] exchanged a sheepish glance with
the big business man, and he dug
down in his trousers pocket and said;
I'll take the whole bundle Then he
paid Benny for them and gave them
back, and / bought them and did the
same thing, and we all whistled'-St

THOUGHT SHE KNEW COFFEE
Young Lady, Testing Beverage Made
Of Refuse, Declared u Unmistak-
ably the Right Thing.

A great many people who fiatter
themselves that they are judges OF
coffee or other beverages may learn
a lesson of caution from the expert
ments carried on by Sir Hiram Maxim
when he was trying TO find a pala-
table preparation of wheat and coffee.
Il occurred to me. says Sir Hiram in
my Life" that very few people knew
much about coffee. One Sunday
brought out from the Maxim Lamp
works about thirty young men and
women. My stenographer was also
present; she was one of those young
ladies that know all-from whose de.
cisions there is no appeal.
/ had cleared off a long bench and
arranged on it large number Of cups,
milk, sugar, cream, much coffee, and
plenty of apparatus for making coffee.
] got from the army and navy stores
various kinds of coffee that we're sup
posed to be the very best in the world,
such as Mocha, Java, and so forth, and
] also got from a dealer in coffee some
OF the sweepings and siftings of his
shop-small, imperfect, and broken
kernels. These | freed from dust and
dirt, roasted and ground, and mixed
with three times their weight of chic.
DRY. / was ready for the test.
My shorthand writer came in, tasted
the Mocha. the Java, the Costa Rica,
and pronounced them all very bad.
She then tried some of my wheat cof-
fee, which she said, was also bad,
but not so bad as the others. But when
she reached the mixture of siftings
and chicory she was delighted. That
is coffee!" she said, with an air Of
fnality. That's Il! That's the right
stuff"
In all probability the young lady had
never tasted a cup of genuine coffee
in her life until that Sunday morning

Ace Of Elephants and Parrots.

Eardley-Wilmot, in his Life OF an
Elephant" says that these animals
live one hundred years under favor
able circumstances. II. Lydekker in
bis Great and Small Game of India"
says Of the Indian elephant that its
age depends upon its teeth.
Definite information as to the age
of parrots is hard to find. In a work
on Parrots in Captivity" one black
Madagascar specimen in the London
zoo is mentioned, which was present
ed to the society full grown in 1891,
and was still alive and well in 1884.
Several others about twenty years old
are mentioned.

DIFFER IN SLIGHT DEGREE
Words Possession" and "obsession"
Really Have Very Much the Same
Meaning, According to Authority.

Possess and obsess are etymologic-
ally related, but usage has given them
slightly different meanings. Both are
from the Latin, and the second syl-
liable Of both, sess, is from sedere, to
sit; therefore a session is a sitting;
but possession is to sit before OF near
thing as owning Il, and obsession is
to be sat upon by t. This is not very
illuminative, but It serves to mark
different shades of meaning Yet the
two words are so nearly synonymous
that both have been used to describe
the persecution of human body by
an evil spirit, though possession means
operating from within and obession
from without. The Bible speaks of
those who we're possessed with devils,
and the oxford dictionary gives one
of the definitions of obsession as the
hostile action of the devil, or an evil
spirit besetting anyone; actuation by
the devil or an evil spirit from with
out" But while the authorities recog-
nize a technical difference between
BOooCooAOn anu ODbGoolOh 40
to the devils operations from within
or from the outside, they do not diff
ferentiate the moral results of the
cases. Etymologically speaking, there
is a shade of difference between the
two words, but the genealogical diff
ference is only skin deep, while, NOR
ally speaking there is little or no diff
ference between being operated by the
devil from within or worked by him
from the outside. In quoting some ex-
amples of the use of obsession as re-
lating to evil spirits, the Oxford die
tionaTy remarks that, These cases
belong rather 10 obsession than pos
session, the spirits not actually inhab-
iting the bodies. but hanging or how
ering about them" Leaving the devil
out of the case entirely and coming to
ordinary affairs it may be said that
while obsess and possess are different
in some meanings they are synony.

Holly let one pass.
 In the third the singles were again shut out with nary run Miss Crowley couldn't find tile ball, Martin grounded to Shields for an out. Ina Lyle reached first on the third strike but Lily Koch retired the side with an out to Downing. The matrons, how ever, were right on the job Nhcn it came their turn. Mrs. Shields singled, and went to third while Mesdames Zehner and Aver were swiping where the ball wasn't Mrs. Downing's single brought her home for the first run. Mrs. Downing went the route and came home on a passed ball. Mrs. Webb singled and stole sec ond and third. Mrs. Kittelson single brought her home. Mrs Thompson also connected and Webb crossed the plate with the fourth run. Thompson went to third when no one was looking but failed to land before Sbarae 3 out to Koch closed tt ! session.
 In the fourth the singles landed one off single by Holly. Irene Bongard famed, Miss Lamby out to Sheilds to Downing and Miss Lewis followed the same route. One hit and a bunch ot errors gave the matrons two in the next frame. Sheldon out to Koch. Shields popped up high one to Ruby who grabbed like it was a gum drop and-but, hold on! We nearly forgot to say that something happened just here. Something awful The game stopped; the umpires com menced to scurry around like mad; everybody got excited won dering if somebody had been hurt and one anxious looking man started for the door saying. sotto voce, Gosh Whats comin' off now?' What do you suppose ii was all about, Martha Why. nothin' much, only some guy went and gummed the ball. Yes, siree chewing gum. A great big hunk of it, which some one, evidently a hyphenatc, had planted right where it would do the most harm. Some of the fans thought 1t a job to beat the chi, we mean single ladies, and an investigation was just about starting when the umpire brought in new ball and the game was on again. Mrs Zehner singled and Mrs. Halla, who substituted for Mrs. Aver reached first on a passed ball Just then Holly made an awful TOT by throwing the ball to sec ond while Mrs. Zehner was on the way home, In the mixup which followed Mrs Halla also slid to third and came home on a passed bal. Mrs. Downing retir- ed the side with a short hit tc Lewis to Koch.

Good ball was again the mark ed feature of the games at A. B. hall last evening and the large crowd were kept right up on tip toe from the moment Ruby Mar tin, first up for the single ladies in the opening game, slammed out a two bagger, until the curtains had fallen for the warriors in the seventh session of the big match of the evening. And there were few idle moments in between. The singles did not quite reach the pace that distinguished their play irg last week, but the married ladies were there with bells and the long hard slam that brought home the money, so the crowd had plenty to get hoarse over. The fort boys too were a little slow on the job but they, nevertheless put up good fast comeback against their faster opponents. They were, however, slow with the willow and this, more than any other reason ac- counts for their defeat. The Stars were right on the job all the time although Lewis was rot so strong with the fadeaway as he was last week, but the soldiers could only land eight safe hits, at that. Great interest attached to the game between the ladies as it was one and one and melodies favor and with big prospect that the game would be the last one of the series, so the rooters root ed and the horns blared and the yappers yapped, and the fans gen orally, had a dee-light-ful time.
 The Ty Cobb of the singles, Miss Martin, led off by slamming out two bagger that brought the fans to their feet right at the jump. And the little lady fol- lowed it up by bringing home the bacon when Lily Koch grounded to Mrs. Shields for an out. Ina Lyle famed and Hollie Jones also failed to connect. The matrons started in in lively fashion by grabbing two in their frame of singles by Mesdames Kittelson and Sheldon and walk presented to Mrs. Sharp. In the first part of the second the singles could not find the ball and but one hit was recorded off Mrs. Thomp- sons Christy M. curves, Irene Bonbard famed, Miss Lamby out on fly to Zehner, Lewis walked Anpher singled but Miss Lewis was caught at the plate in spite of a pretty dive.
 The matrons became quite busy in the latter half and collected a total of three runs off four hits and bunch of errors,' Mrs. Aver famed, Mrs. Downing singled stole second and third and came home on Mrs. Webb's single. Mrs. Kittelson out on fly to Mar itn, Mrs. Thompson singled send ing Webb to third, Mrs. Sharr singled, scoring Webb, and Thompson came loping down the lane with another score when

With Miss Anpher up, things started with a rush She singled, stole second. third and home amia the shouts of the rooters. Miss Crowley walked, Ruby went out on a close play, Zehner to Down ing. Crowley to third in the mix-up and home on a passed ball. Ina Lyle beat the ball to first when Mrs. Sheldon dropped the third strike, went to second and third and slid home when the matron catcher dropped the ball. Lily Koch singled and HoiIie Joncs slammed out q double, bringing her home Holly circled the bases in one. two. three or der and brought the house down with a spectacular steal for home that landed safely The fans hoWled nightly for more but it was no use. the next two up per ished in short order and the eame Was over. The final score was: Singles /, Matrons IT, Batteries, Lewis and Jones. Thompson and Sheldon.
 Two points off as many hits, was the record of the warriors in the first session of the main event but this was the largest bunch the Fort Davis aggregation could annex in one frame during the remainder of the game. Lewis held the visitors down to the mat throughout and i've innings saw a goose egg marked up on the soldiers side of the score board The game by innings was as tol- lows:
