SOLDIERS AT HOME.

THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. flow the Bot of Both Arm lea Whiled Away Life in Camp Foraging Ex periences. Tiresome Marchea Thrll Una- Scene oa the Battlefield It was the first Christmas after the war. Appomattox had not been forgotten, and desolation still hung over the South like a great black shadow. The plenty of the past, the poverty of the present, the dark certainty of the future, haunted memories, and heartaches and tears were in the place of joyous feeling and gladful smiles. The terrors of yesterday, the suffering of the to-day, and the forebodings of the morrw would form no background for a Christmas like those of the use-to-be. The James flowed on to the sea, washing Its muddy waters against the ice-bordered banks. light snow on the hard, unyielding earth only added to the gloom. The wind moaned through the winter-swept pines. Fences strewed the dirt roads still marked by the heavy ruts of artillery. Here and there was the charred and blackened wreck of somo bones of some faithful horse whOoe rider lay, perhaps, beneath an unmarked mound in the little burying ground about the shell-battered church, the spire of which just rose above the hills in the distance. What a picture of defpair! And it was Christmas morning Christmas morning! And the great world was echoing with the angelic melody, "Peace on earth, good will to men.' With unbending figure he stood leaning against one of the heavy pillars that supported the portico to one of tho historic mansions. A black slouch hat was pulled down over tho long gray hair. The suit he wore was only part civilian. The coat was gray and tightly buttoned about the waist the one relic, besides the saber, of the gallant cavalry that was no more. Was he thinking of the last Christmas in camp, of a forage before sunrise, a roasted pig held over the logs with bayonets, an Interrupted feast, and a charge on Christmas evening that had written the navies of heroes on the page of history? Was it that? Across the field the smoke floated upward from the mud-smeared chimney of a hut several huts. It was where the negroes lived. Two tottering old men, two boys, big enough to work in the field, and one old woinan that was all.- The rest had gone. One of the boys was bringing the horse from water. As it followed its ragged groom along the road it made a strange contrast with the surroundings; for, fat and sleek, it seemed as if there must be plenty everywhere yet the barn, like everything else, was almost depleted. How closely he had watched the animal! From tho call to arms until the bugle sounded for the final taps it had been his constant companion. And then, after all was over, they had come back through Richmond and then to the old home. He smiled when he remembered how he and the boy had hooked up tho old charger and a solitary mule to a plow and worked until the faithful mule had, died. There was not enough in the field or the f table for two. The old men and the boys had joined each other and were coming across to the house. In the kitchen "Auntie" was making corn bread and frying bacon. Christmas morning in a mansion on the James and corn bread and bacon for breakfast! In the dining room she she who had borne so much was setting the plates (two plates). How she thought of the faces that had gathered three years ago. some that were no more! She finished, and, going up stairs, brought down a gingham apron. She made it herself made it over from an old one she had worn. With eyes full of tears she handed It to the dear old "Auntie" and whispered "Merry Christmas." She could say no more. Memory was bringing up visions of the old days. The Christmas days in servants quarters an apron for each woman, a dress for each child, with a coin In each pocket. But those days were gone and the slaves had vanished. . The four colored men Had stopped in the road and were talking. He came in from the porch and said a word to her, and they ttit down by the window. He gazed over the river, and .she laid her head on his arm and cried softly to herself. Both were looking into the past, and both saw the same pictures. It was Christmas morning on the plantation. The house was full of young people. In the parlor a log fire crackled on the hearth, and there were laughter and shouts of merriment. And such a breakfast! What stores were brought from the smokehouse, how proud were all the negro women as they bore them along the board walk that led from the great old-fashioned kitchen to the dining room in the mansion! Then after the breakfast all had gathered on the front porch. On. the steps were all the negro men. How they bowed and scraped as "Marse" Arthur came out of the door with "Missus' on his arm! Then came the black boys with great waiters of hot coffee. How the eyes of the men grew big as the cups when handed to them! How each drank lt down until a coin at the bottom of the cup struck against his teeth! And then a "Thanks, Marse Arthur; Gawd bless yo an Missus." And then they would go off for a holiday. He looked at her and sighed. "Oh, Arthur!" she said. ne stroked her head and then arose and walked to the cupboard. He took down a coffee jar and held it to the window. It was scarcely half filled. Then, turning, he called: "Fannie !" "Auntie" came tottering In. "Yes, sah," she said, with a low bow. "Make four cups of coffee and bring them to me on a waiter," he said. She took the jar and went to the kitchen. From the window the woman arose and threw her arms about his neck, and they stood by the mantel silent. Presently Fannie came in the door with the waiter and the cups filled with hot coffee. He pulled from his trousers pocket a purse, and, stretching it open, four coins fell to the table. He picked them up and threw the old pocketbook into the fireplace. Then he dropped a coin In each cup and motioned for Fannie to follow him. Just as she had done years before the war, "Missus" took his arm, and they walked through the broad hall to the porch, followed by "Auntie,"

who proudly carried the waiter above her head. The men were on the steps. They pulled off their hats and bowed low to "the ground. "Good mawnhV, boys," he said, and there was no quiver in his voice. She still held his arm. "I w : you all to have a holiday to-day aud remember that It's Christmas." And then Fannie passed down the steps with the waiter and handed around the hot coffee. The men dropped their hats on the ground and drank, and then broad smiles came over the black faces as the coins struck their teeth. "Gawd bless yo', Marse Arthur and Missus!" came a chorus, and then they turned to go all except the oldest. "I can't tuk It dis time, Marse Arthur," he said. He, standing on the porch, waved his hand, and the oldest of the faithful walked away grumbling to himself. Fannie had gone back to the kitchen. They were in the doorway alone. She looked up at him and he kissed her, and then she turned. It was too much to bear. He took her in his arms and kissed er again and then she went. He pulled his hat down over his eyes, and, looking Into the hall, cried out: "Guess I'll go over to the stable and feed Bob."

Tvro Little War Stories. "Here is a story worth the telling," said the Captain. "The men of General Sickles' old division will remember Joseph Hopkins Twichell, who came from Andover Theological Seminary in 1SG1 to serve as chaplain in the army. General Sickles became very much attached to Chaplain Twichell, and once, when he inquired for Jos and was told that he was feeling blue because there were no converts in the division, while in another division seventeen men had been converted and baptized, said: II ! Is that all? Detail forty men at once for baptism. I won't let Joe be left behind. "That Is not the story in my mind, however. A Connecticut friend reminds me of Twichell as he was in ISü-l, a soldier and a comforter of soldiers. A Colonel commanding one of Sickles' regiments had been killed while he was swearing at his men, holding them to the line against the charge of the enemy. The question in Sickles' mind was how Joe. an Andover man, would treat a case In which a brave olIi;-er not a professing Christian had died vrith an oath upon his lips. The same question troubled a good many others when the whole division had been formed for the funeral and the young chaplain had taken his place by the flag-draped coffin. "It was an impressive scene when Chaplain Twichell said in his clear voice: 'Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. The argument was that as the Colonel had laid his life on the altar of his country's need and had litcraly lost his life in serving his friends and comrades in his own command, they could say truly of him, 'He that loseth his life shall find it.' Not many men present will ever forget the scene or the look on General Sickles' face as he regarded with new pride and affection his Chaplain Joe. No wonder all Hartford, In later years, loved the Rev. Joseph Hopkins Twichell, for forty years pastor of Asylum Hill Congregational Church." Chicago Inter Ocean. The Private's Glory. Sweet little Major, he mounts my knee. And the tender blue eyes look at me. "Tell me, Popsie, just once more, What did you do when you went to war And then I tell of the autumn dcy When the Forty-seventh marched away; Hotv Cromwell died at Jackson town, And Miles on Corinth field went down. "But how many rebels, tell me true. Did you kill then, and the whole war through?" And I tell him then, with eager zest. How Jo Reed blew up a limber chest. But the Major sticks to his question still, "How many rebels did you kill?" So tell me how, near the set of sun, The charge was made and the battle won. And how, the day McClore was shot When Vicksburg's fight was fierce and hot, Brave Sam Law took C company in Through name and smoke and the batteries din; How over our heads the battle broke. With screaming shell and saber stroke, And he wanted to know, the little elf, "But how many men did you kill yourself?" "Say, tell me. Popsie, say you will How many rebels did you kill?" So I told him the truth, as near as might be As many of them as they did of m, R. J. Burdette. Tom Knew Ills Business. A little story is told in the "Life of General Houston," the Confederate General, which illustrates the familiar way in which military orders were expressed sometimes during the civil war. In a certain battle a Confederate commander stood upon a hilltop gloomily watching the Union battery, which was making havoc of his troops. At the foot of the hill, on the other side, was his last body of reserves; by his side stood his aid-de-camp, in shirtsleeves. "Tom," said the General, quietly, without turning his head, but his lips quivering, "I want them guns want 'em bad." The aid nodded, mounted his horse and dashed down the hill to the reserves. "Boys," he shouted, jerking his thumb over his shoulder toward the hilltop, "there's a poor old gent up there, and he says he wants them guns wants 'em bad. Shairwe get 'em for him?" The "poor old gent" got the gucs and the victory.

PAIN III THE JOINTS Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Make New Blood. The first sign of rheumatism is frequently a pain and swelling in one of the joints. If not combated in the blood, which is the seat of tho disease,

! the poison spreads, affecting other joints and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism attacks the heart and is quickly fatal. Tho one remedy that has cured rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Theso pills expel the poison front the blood and restore the system, so that the poisonous matter is passed off as nature intended. Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, of No. ISO Monmouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered for about three years from rheumatism before she found this cure. She says: " It began with a queer feeling in my fingers. Iu a little timo it seemed as though tho finger joints had lumps on them and I could not get my gloves on. "Then it grew worse and spread to my knees. I could not stand up and I could not sleep nights. My suffering was more than I can describe. I took a great deal of medicine, but nothing even gave me relief until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. " I read an account of a cure in a case that was exactly liko mine and my husband got me somo of -tho pills. I took them for three weeks before I really felt better but they finally cured me. " Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 307 of New York, substantiates his wife's statement and says that she now walks without difficulty, whereas a year ago ho was compelled to push her about iu a wheeled chair. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For further information, address the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Sehe nectady, N.Y. Birth of a Flower. Years and years ago and ever so many years before there lived far away in a lovely country a youth who was the most beautiful man in the world. Ills name was Narcissus, and he had a sister as beautiful as himself, whom he loved very dearly. Narcissus often used to go hunting in the woods with his sister. Each of them knew that the other one was very beautiful, but they did not know the same about themselves. You see, they had no looking glasses in thoe days at least only the mermaids had them, and they never lent them to any one else. One day the girl died, and poor Narcissus was very unhappy, and after that he had to go hunting by himself. Once when he was thirsty he came to a stream and was just bending down to drink when he saw his own face in the water. He had never seen it before and thought It was the face of his dear sister. So he tried to catch hold of her, but could not When he had tried for a long time he was so disappointed that he killed himself. Then the fairies carce in the night to bury him, but they only found a pretty white flower, which is still called narcissus. 5 Tons Grass Hay Free, Everybody loves lots and lots of fodder for hogs, cows, sheep and swine.

With only a twentieth of the world's Inhabitants, the United States has two-thirds ($14,000,000,000) of tbe world's banking power (capital, surplus, deposits and circulation). Our ascendency here has been obtained in the last two decades. Since 1890 the world's banking strength has grown 103 per cent while that of the United States has expanded 170 per cent and that of New York City 200 per cent Of the $2,500,000,000 of the weekly average of tiie bank clearings of the ninety-three cities which make reports New York contributes two-thirds. New York City's bank clearings average 25 per cent In excess of London's. And the greater part of this stupendous banking growth in New York City and the United States in general has taken place within the easy recollection of thousands of persons who in their various employments are still actively at work. Contemplating the vast expansion which has given the United States a long lead over all other countries in manufactures and mining, which has placed American products in every market on the globe, which has built up in this country a railway system which comprises two-fifths of that of the entire earth and which has increased the country's wealth from $500,000,000 in Washington's day to $110,000,000,000 in Roosevelt's, the American banker, using the words of Aeneas, can say: 'All of this I saw and part of this I was."

"A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that it would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. "I had been 111 and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostration for three long months after the birth of my second boy. We were In despair until the little widow's advice brought relief. "I liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In two months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to( see me gain so rapidly and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change. "My 4-year-old boy had eczema, very bad, last spring and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. I put him on a diet of GrapeNuts, which he relished at once. He Improved from the beginning, the eczeml disappeared and now he is fat and psy, with a delightfully soft clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it I will willingly answer all Inquiries."

WOMEN GAMBLERS OF YORE. Lord Kenyon's Threat r Proof Practice Was Common 100 Years Aeo. However one may deplore the present craze for gambling among women, It can at least be urged in their favor that they do not indulge their love of cards to anything like the same extent as did their sex a century ago, when Lord Kenyon made his famous scathing comments from the bench and threatened that any women convicted before him of public gaming "should certainly exhibit themselves in the pillory, though they should be the first ladles in the land." Only a short time before his lordship made this severe threat three leaders of the world of fashion ladies of high rank and moving in the most exalted of social circles had each been fined 50 for making their houses centers of gambling for high stakes, and it was stated at the time that there were hundreds of other great ladies whose drawing-rooms were nothing Jess than gambling Infernos, where tens of thousands of pounds were lost and won in a single night and the f.oors of which, when dawn broke, were strewn ankle deep with cards. "There is scarcely a house of any importance," wrote a chronicler of the time, "the hostess of which has not her faro bank, and where the world of fashion, including royal princes and princesses, does not congregate daily to play for the highest stakes. It is notorious that many of these ladies add ten of thousands of pounds yearly

to their pin money in this discredit-; able fashion." J Nor was this encouragement of gambling by women any innovation, for a couple of generations earlier It was a common thing for ladies of rank to open gambling-houses for the entertainment of their aristocratic friends and the plenishing of their own purses and this they did in defiance of the law.
