NOTHING SAFE FROM THEM
Gen. Hancock Evidently Had High
Opinion of the Foraeng Abilities
of the Nineteenth Maine.

'There is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine played In
the war" remarked a veteran of that
regiment. "The fact Is, the Nineteenth
ate up the Southern Confederacy. They
stole pigs, robbed hen roosts, cleaned
out orchards and cellars and foraged
the country so thoroughly that the
enemy had nothing left to feed on, and
so lay down and died"
Then AL Wells of the same regiment
took up the thread of the story:
1--WE were sweeping along one day,
dining on the fat Of the land, as usual.
Another troop was ahead, and between
them and us rode General Hancock. As
the general was passing one planta-
tion, the aged proprietor came out and
stopped the generals party.
General" said he, 81 want some
sort of safeguard. Those troops that
have just gone by stole my pigs, lifted
my hen roosts and emptied my cellar"
"I'm sorry" said Hancock.
EYES," replied the old man, they
stole everything but my hope of i'm
mortality. Thank God none of them
can steal that"
Don't be too sure about that" re-
torted the general. "The Nineteenth
Maine is coming next"

Pittsburg.- AT least 200 men wers
Killed May Is, when an explosion of
L. N. 7. demolished the plant of the
Aetna Chemical company at Oakdale,
on the Panhandle division of the Penn
sylvania railroad, sixteen miles from
here
Five hundred workmen were startled
at noon by report, not much louder
than the crack of a pistol. 1t came
from the soda house, but they knew its
deadly import, and, as che man they
rushed for the nearest exit Before
they could gain the open the very air
seemed to burst into flame, the earth
heaved and rocked, and, with a roar
that was heard for miles, the long fac
tory buildings were hurled high into
the air, carrying with them ponderous
equipment and scores of men. A great
cloud of dust and smoke settled over
the scene, and through its deadly
fumes torn and mangled forms dropped
to EARTH many dead, but others to meet
their end in the flaming debris.
The number of dead has not been
determined, and it is possible that it
may not be known for days, if, in
deed, it ever will be known. State
and county authorities agreed that it
would reach 200.
Many of the injured, some of whom
were found half a mile from the rem
nants of the factory, were brought to
Pittsburg hospitals by special trains
and in ambulances, all of them so
badly hurt that in only a comparative
ly few instances were physicians able
to hold out any hope for their re-
covery. The property loss was esti-
mated at $1,500,000.

TRIBUTE TO PHIL KEARNY
nous Soldier Who Gave His Life
for His Country.

1t was after the review that l made
the personal acquaintance of the Off
GERS with whom l was to have the good
fortune to fight for cause which was
already dear to me. All made me cor
daily welcome, but it was with Kearny
that l found myself most at home. He
It was who could speak to me of the
French army in Algeria in 1910 and of
the memories left by my family in that
country. He did so in terms which
deeply touched the heart of the exile,
the son of the Due dOrleans. Kearny
had participated in one of those cam
paigns on African ground which
brought out strongly the merits of the
French soldier He had also associated
himself with the triumphs of France
in the Italian campaign of 1859
His abrupt speech and imperious
manner denoted a proud disposition,
and a character incapable of flattery
or of discrimination. But though at first
his manner was not always fitted to
attract, one soon learned to appreciate
the noble qualities of his heart, the
firmness of his will, the accuracy Of
his Judgment, the truthfulness and
grandeur of his soul.
If he did not spare his soldiers at
the decisive moment, he spared himself
still less, and by his example obtained
from his followers truly heroic efforts.

Don't Be Afraid
of Your vea|s
Take "Eatonic" and Laugh At
Stomach Troubles

III. L. Kramer, the man who origin
ated Cascarets, has discovered sure,
safe, quick-acting relief for bad stom-
achs. He named it EATONIC for your
stomach's sake.
You can eat anything you like now
and digest it in comfort, for stomach
ease is positively assured if you eat
an EATONIC tablet regularly after
each meal.
EATONIC acts directly with the
food the moment 1t enters the stom-
ach. 1t Immediately checks any ten
dency toward toe much acid and en-
ables the food to pass from the stom-
ach into the bowel in a sweetened con-
dition, and thus prevents the forma-
ton of sour distressing gases that up
set digestion and cause bloated, dull,
lumpy feeling that makes your
FOOD REPEAT.
EATONIC enables you to eat your
