Wellington's Endurance. Wellington on one occasion started, Sir Herbert Maxwell tells us, at 7 a. m.. rode to a place 28 miles distant, here held a review and was back at the place from which he had started for dinner between 4 and 5 p. ni., sayGoldwln Smith In The Atlantic. He galloped 20 miles and back to see whether damage had been done to a pontoon train. He rode 17 miles In two hours from Freneda to Ciudad Rodrigo, where he dined, gave a ball and supped. was in the saddle again at 3 a. tn., galloped back to Freneda by 6 and was doing business again at noon. He rose regularly at 6 and wrote till 9 and after dinner wrote again from 9 till 12. It must lie essential to every general and indeed to every man who Is bearing a heavy load of anxious business to be a good sleeper. Napoleon was a first rate sleeper; so was Pitt: so was Brougham; so was Mt. Gladstone; so was Wellington. At Salamanca Wellington, having given his order for the battle, said to his aid-de-camp: "Watch the French through your glass, Fitz Roy. I am going to take a rest. When they reach that copse near the gap in the hills, wake me.” Then he lay down and was fast asleep in a minute. In the midst of the critical operations before Waterloo, feeling weary, he laid himself down, put a newspaper over his face and took a nap. For Exerelae Why Not Walkt The best exercise in the world Is walking. A person who knows how to walk Intelligently can get along without a gymnasium. No other form of exercise brings so ninny muscles into [day nnd develops them so normally. The most popular games are those In which walking forms a prominent part. Golf, croquet and in a sense cricket and even bicycling merely give an excuse for walking. Every one knows bow to walk properly. It Is tiecause of carelessness that so many walk badly. The body should lie carried erect, the chest well out, the head back, while the arms should swing freely at the sides. The pace should be regulated to one’s strength. Every one should walk fast enough and far enough to get the body In a comfortable glow. To get the best results from walking one should give his undivided attention to It. In other words, he should walk for the pleasure of It nnd not carry worries with him. Excessive walking Is Injurious. Never walk just after a heavy men! or aftter violent exercise. And after a walk it Is well to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before taking up severe mental work. Limb In Either One of the editors who rend the manuscript of Henry Thew Stephenson’s “Patroon Van Volkenberg” thought that the author might be a good man

to know. Accordingly he wrote a pleasant personal letter, inviting a better acquaintance, and, as one of the tests of companionable fitness, inquired i whether the author preferred Lamb or Milton. Mr. Stephenson replied, acknowledging the pleasure the letter bad given him and saying: “I do not know whether you ask If I' like Lamb or mutton or Lamb or Mil-; ton best, but in either case It’s Lamb.’’ I Even the reflection on the editor’s handwriting could not detract from the editorial approbation of Mr. Stephenson’s choice, and the new partnership of minds was immediately formed.— Youth’s Companion. Would Rather Smoke Than Eat. “One day.” writes an American In Havana, “I came across an old Cuban woman sitting disconsolately on a rock near Morro castle. She told me tn Spanish that for three days she bad had nothing to eat but a loaf of bread and coffee. She looked it I gave her a Spanish dollar and followed in her wake. She entered the first case she came to and bought a drink and a cigar. I couldn't help laughing to see her as she walked along the street, puffing away at the weed purchased with my money. She seemed perfectly contented. Tlfc Cubans, even the women, would rather smoke than eat. They take only two meals a day, breakfast about IBe’t! ' In/JIP. afternoon.” Plseon*' Nest*. A curious preference of certain pigeons for the use of metallic objects In building their nests is noted by M. Maurice Dusoller In The Revue Sclentltique. He assures us that several pairs of these birds that he has observed In Paris have raised their young In nests made entirely of hairpins! These articles they collected in the paths of the Luxembourg. The young pigeons grew up normally as they would In a softer nest. M. Dusoller believes that there Is n useful suggestion In this for pigeon fanciers, who are often overanxious, be thinks, to see that tbeir charges have soft material for their nests. He Went. He—Half past 11! Isn’t that clock fast? She— I think not. He—Well, I guess my watch Is like myself—it is slow. She— But It is not exactly "It you. He—lndeed? She— No-It goes.—Harlem Life. An Ineorrlalble. “If there over was a terrible child In this world," remarked the worried mother, “he’s one.” “What’s his particular fault?” "Do what I will. I can’t break him of the hnblt of telling the truth right out when we bare company.”—Phlladel-

REVEALMENT. 1 Let me tell bow rhythm with its rhyme should flow: | As the laugh of leaves when soft zephyrs blow; As the waves with gracile hand Write their names upon the sand. Let me tell how music with its verse should mate: As the dark with dawn, rapt, inviolate; As the soil and sun disclose Sweet communion in a rose. Let me tell how fancy from the heart ihould leap: As the cloud full fraught rises from the deep; As the spring at God’s l>ehe«t Wakes, and, 10, the world is blest! --■rhrence L’rniy in Independent. ON THEIR SEA LEGS. Cattle end Hornes Do Not Get Frtahtened In Rough Weather. “Do the horses and cattle get frightened and make much disturbance tn rough weather?” asked the writer of a New York dealer who ships cattle | abroad. "Bless you, no. They’ve got sea legs ♦bat would put an old salt to shame. Occasionally a horse will lose bls ballance, but a bullock Is the greatest balI ancer you ever saw. They are knowing brutes too. You know, we put them four In a pen. Well, you’ll never find all four standing up or lying down at one time. They figure the thing out and decide how they’ll get the most room and most comfort. So two of them stand up while two He down, i 'When they get tired, they shift the watch. “The horses like to be talked towhen there’s a big sea on and things are pretty lively. They always like ceri tain men better than others. So do the cattle. We have one man who can do anything with them. Every bullock and horse on the boat knows him by the time we’ve been out two days. He comes in bandy when there’s an accident "It’s mighty seldom that a serious accident happens nowadays, but once In awhile a horse or a bullock does get thrown and breaks a leg or does some bad damage. We don t carry a veterinary. The men know as much about ordinary cattle and horse ailments as any vet, and If one of the brutes breaks Ills leg there s nothing for It but to kill him. A veterinary couldn’t do anything for him. "The company charges from s<’> to |2O a head for carrying cattle nnd from |27 to $250 a head for horses. When the government Inspectors stopped overcrowding, they cut down the carrying capacity of some boats 75 head. That made a pretty big hole In the ship’s profits In the course of a year.”—Exchange. Lincoln’s Swear Word. one story that is told of Lincoln relates to that extreme, correctively critical attitude which Secretary Seward always maintained toward the president —

REMEMBER, that if you want to sell your real estate we can find you a buyer, and if you want to buy real estate we can sell you... No commission unless sale is made. HARRUFF & LENHART. Decatur, Indiana.

Mr. Lincoln and the secretary had managed to escape from a man who had lieen boring them, and as they reached the bouse the president threw himself into an armchair and exclaimed: “By jings. governor, we are here!” Mr. Seward replied by asking in a reproving tone: “Mr. President where did you learn that Inelegant expression?” Mr. Lincoln Immediately turned to several young men who bad entered the room in time to hear the exclamation and said: “Young gentlemen, excuse me for swearing before you. ‘By jings’ is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a ‘by’ before It is swearing, I won’t do so any more.”—Youth’s Companion. Only Sunburned. Last summer two little girls In a College avenue family were repeatedly remonstrated with by their indulgent mother for playing bareheaded in the ' sun. "You will be burned so badly.” said she to them finally, “that people will think you are black children.” Her warning bad little effect, however, nnd she gave up trying to keep their hats 1 on. One day she sent them to a neighbor a block or so distant to make some inquiries concerning a washwoman. Mrs. ' 8.. the neighbor in question, mistook them for the children of a Mrs. Black who lived in another street nearby. “You are the little Black children, are you not?” she asked. "Oh, no,” came the prompt response from the elder. "Only sunburned.”— Indianapolis News. A man of few words and many deeds Is like a garden of many vegetables and few weeds.—Chicago News.

Rheumatic Warped Limbs.

To suffer the most excruciating pains, to lose the use of limbs, and to have the joints swollen and disfigured is the lot of the victim of rheumatism. Uric acid in the blood is the cause of rheumatism. If the kidneys are active, they remove the uric acid. That is their, special work. If, on the other hand, the I kidneys are deranged, there is sure to be ’ uric acid in the blood and rheumatic pain through the body. No amount of liniment will ever cure rheumatism. It sometimes relieves, but cure can only be brought about by

setting the kidneys right. The most effective kidney remedy known to man is Dr. A. W. Chase's kidneyLiver Pills. They cure
