A Bold Haid. While Rosecrans occupied Murfrecsoro and a Confederate force was lytig at Brandy villi, Gray Giles put llmself to much trouble to discover he strength and position of the enemy, not only In Cannon County itself, but , u the neighboring counties round. He soon learned that on one vt the turnpike roads and only a short distance from the county seat, were four tregi.uents of rebel cavalry, comma mld by a celebrated brigadier-general, with his headquarters at the court Within a few hundred yards of the town were three Infantry regiments, about two mile:- off an infantry lrigade was encamped. At Clermont there was another infantry brigade, with cavalry and artillery. The brave scout had slowly been maturing in his own mind a bol4 raid on the county seat. But oa looking over the situation, ft. seemed a? though the way to the objective point was completely blocked top with troops of all arms Infantry, rtillery ond cavalry. If he attempted to approach by one turnpike, Coluci Robinson's troopers would meet liim full in front. If he tried the youta by the more southerly road, a lrig.ide of infantry, with cavalry to ti:rue and artillery to thunder at tum, was first to be defeated. If he jlid"d in by way of Ready ville, the tri.cadtf two miles from the county Iowa was in his track. The situation would have appeared flesperate to almost any one, however adventurous, but the temptation was really strong. A night in the latter part of February was chosen as favorable to the txpeditiou: The weather was terrible the nljrht as dark as pitch and it was raining ftteadily, the drops as they fell turning to ice. With a detachment of twenty-four men, among whom was Iteub Stacy, Gray dies set out. He made his approach from the direction of Murfreesboro. Proceeding fllorg the .Woodbury turnpike, he reached a point about a mile beyond ReadyTille. Here, turning southeast, he rosseil in the direction of Bradleytille; but about half war to that town ba: iln turned toward his objective jKInt. keeping in the woods, and leaving Bradleyville well to the right. He was now advancing in the triangle which is made by the Mnrfrecsboro r.nd Boe'.h Grove turnpikes and an imaginary line from Murfr. : . ro to Beech Grove. Those familiar wi;h the country will easily understand the object of this proceeding. By thus cutting through the triangle, Cray Giles avoided all pickets, scoutJr'g parties and the enemy generally, win would only keep a lookout for intruders on the main roads. Advancing in this manner through the woods, pierced with devious and uncertain paths only, which tbe dense darkness scarcely enabled them to follow, the bold scout and his little band finally struck into the Beech Grove road, between Bradleyville and the ounty seat, at a point about midway Lot ween the two places. One clanger had thus been successfully avoided a challenge from parties of cavalry, or discovery by the force posted in and near Bradleyville. That place was now In their rear they had "snaked" around it and its warders: but the ierils of the enterprise? had scarcely commenced. The county court house was still about three miles distant, and it was girdled with cavalry and infantry, livery approach was guarded, and the atiempt to enter the place seemed descrate, but Gray Giles determined to say it. Advancing resolutely, he came within a mile and a quarter of the town, when be found the way barred by a licavy force. Directly in his path was an infantry ramp, and all advance was checked In that direction. The scout did not waver in his purpose, however. Making a detour to the right, and leaving the enemy's camp far to his fcft, he struck Into the road leading from Clermont. This road was guarded like the rest, but by a picket only; and Gray Giles knew thoroughly how to deal with tiiese. IEfore the sleepy and unsuspicious pickets were aware of their danger, they found revolvers presented at their heads, with the option of surrender or death presented to them. They surrendered immediately, were taken In charge, and without further croriony Gray Giles and his band entered the town. From that moment the utmost silence, energy, and rapidity of action wore requisite. He accordingly made his dispositions rapidly. The small band was divided Into detachments, with special duties assign! to each. Two or three of these detachments were eent to the public stables which the fine Kentucky horses of the general and his staff officers occupied, with instructions to carry them -off without noise. Another party, under Reub Stacy, was sent to Colonel Robinson's head quarters to take him prisoner. An other, under an equally brave fellow, to Colonel Preston's, with similar orders. Taking five men with him, Gray Ciles, who proceeded on sure informa tion, went straight to the headquarters f the brigadier general in command Giles entered his chamber without much ceremony, and found him asleep tn bed. Making his way toward the bd. in the dark, the scout shook him suddenly Ly the shoulder. -What's that?" growled the gei.ral "Get up at once, I "want you," re sponded the st-out. "Do you know who I am?" demanded the brigadier, starting up. with a a.iiiirl f ..-111 1 1 'i Ci ..-til nrruvKiil cfr CM W1VI. 1. TVtlA lit?- JWU A.TH, 1 'I)o you know who I am?" retorted the scout, shortly. "Who are your "Did you ever hear of Gray Giles?" "Yes. Tell me. hive you caught the Infernal rascal?" "No. but h? has caught yc n V 'What does all this mean, sir''" do u: 1 ruled the furious ollicer. "It means, my dar sir." the sco.it replied, "that a detachment of Union cavalry are in possession of this pl.ic

and you are my prisoner. Get up and

come along, or you are a dead man!' Bitter as was this order, the general was compelled to obey, and Gray Giles mounted him, and placed him under guard. His staff and escort were captured without difficulty, but, subsequently, owing to the darkness, two of the latter came very near making their escape. Meanwhile the other detachments were at work. They entered the stables, and led out sixty-two very tine horses, with th?ir accounterments, all ttelonging to officers, and took a number of prisoners. A great many horses were left, for fear of em umbering the retreat. The other parties were also successful. Colonel Robinson had returned from Bragg's headquarters only an hour or so before, and, therefore, was just in time to get caught. Several of bis staff were also made prisoners. Colonel Preston having received notice of the presence of the party, attempted to make his escape, but was captured after being severely wounded. It was now after half-past three in the morning", f.nd It behooved Gray Giles, unless he relished lnMng killed or taken prisoner, to effect his retreat. Time was barely left him to get out of the lines of the enemy before daylight, and none was to be lost. He had intended to destroy the valuable quartermaster, commissary and suiter's stores in the place, but thes were found to be In the private houses, which It would have been necessary to burn; and even had the proceeding been advisable, time was wanting.

The prisoners were thirty-eight In ; in the Confederate service. These were placed upon the captured horses, and the band set out in silence on their return. He passed through all his enemies, flanked their strongest force, and returned safely to Rosecran's headquarters. Ilovr It Feel to De Shot. An infantry soldier at Gaines' Ml'I, who was hit in the knee by a bullet and ultimately died of his wound said he thought he had run against a standing thistle. When felt at all, bullets through the flesh usually produce a burning seusat.'ou more or less acute. When loi.es are broken stinging accompanies the burn'ng. When bones are hit, but nor broken, there is a numbing sensation in the shock, followed very soon lv severe and sometimes intense pain When muscles and tendons are tvolved. there is a tugging sensation, sometime? very slight, aud shell wounds produce feelings similar to those by bullets, more or less exaggerated, according to the size of tLo missile and the degree of veloePy Iivonet wounds I never saw except iqxin corpses for I was not a hospi tal attendant and as for cannonballs, they do not, as a rule, leave anything behind to exhibit feelings. A musket ball at Antietam passed directly through Gen. Joseph Hooker's foot letwecn the arch and the muscles of the sole, the scat, as ev1ery one knows, of sensitive nerves. Had the general been In a state of moderate repose the blow would have uomanned him, for the moment at least. Intensely preoccupied as he was, he did not notice the blow or the sensations that accompanied and followed it. In the charge of the Ninth Corps on the Confederate works east of Petersburg, a sergeant of the Forty-seventh Massachusetts leaped upon the Kirapet, and, with his cap in his left hand, his musket in his right, stood cheering ami gesturing with his arm? to incite his comrades to come on. Suddenly a shell took his head off as completely as a knife could have done, ut the tall form continued erect for some seconds, the arms still waving frantically, but with ever lessening sweep and power, until the forces ot the lMidy collapsed, when the beadles? tunk toppled over to the ground.

i Siiesrdon n a Cure. Rev. Henry C. Rose has given to the world a discovery which cannot fail to be a great boon to all downtrodden wives. He calls It "the sleep cure," and it consists in sneaking in when hubby is asleep and talking to his subconscious self. In this way, Rev. Mr. Rose declares, a woman of his acquaintance cured her husband of a bad ?ase of going to the club, says Suetress. "To-morrow night," this neglected wife whispered into ids subconscious ear, "joa will not go to the club i drink and carouse, but you will spend the evening with mo." The head of the family thus taken advantage of has completely forgotten his club and its annual dues, and now they have to ?end for a blacksmith to pry him loose from bis home. According to the Newark gentleman, this is only one of numerous cast's where people have been reformed against the better Judgment. It's all very well for the wife, but what of the rent-payer and provider of material blessings? Has he no rights which his own family is bound to respect? Somewhere' a judge has decreed that a wife is justified in rifling her husband's pockets for small change. Is 6be also to be allowed to take away his inalienable right to mako a fool of himself? The Secret of Happiness. The moment we set about the task of making every human being we come In contact with better for knowing us more cheerful, more courageous and with greater faith in the kindness of God and man that moment we begin to attain the third purpose of life persona! happiness. Would you possess the magic secret of the alchemist which transforms all things to gold? It is unselfishness or, to use a better word, selfishness. lie who gcs forth bent upon being al ways kind, always helpful, in tho little dally events or life, will Ond nil skies tinted with gold, all his nights set with stars and unexpected flowers of pleasure springing up in his path way. And all his tears shall turn Into smiles. The Mother. Wh'n I went out from the little house That stood by thf? white sru Fands, Her kiss was warm oa my eager lips And strong were her clapping hands ; And I fared me forth, as a soldier might, When, a great war lord commands. Wüen I came back to the little house That stood by the chill sea sands.

The camphor will form Into lumps, but a sufficient amount will dissolve. This will strengthen the hair and preserve the color. Attraetlon. The charm of woman lies not In beauty, but individuality if she could but be brought to understand that fact. It isn't the details that count It Is her carriage, her manner, her voice, her expression; in short, herself that makes or unmakes her charm. It is the woman, then, who has the courage to be herself who attracts. STYLES IN SKATING COSTUMES. Originals are mach more desirable than copies, no matter how accurate the copy may be. If it be natural to wear one's hair In earless fashion, by all means do so nature Is never mistaken. Hut let the admiring sister whom that same autocrat intended to be a tailormade girl beware of disorder; In her It would cease to be artistic, It would simply be untidy. Let every woman dare to be herself. develop her own Individuality, not blindly copy some other woman, whom, it may t her husband happens to admire. Let her think for herself, net for. herself and express her own honest opinions. Individuality, when combined with that nameless something called manner. Is the most potent weapon in the p ssession of the sex. It Is this which has given many a homely woman a reputation for beauty which a bona fldo beauty, with faultless face and figure has sighed In vain to attain. To Prevrnt Unat Stain. If the vessel In which the clothes are washed, steeped or boiled becomes rusty at the bottom, spots of rust are apt to firm on tho garments. This may bo prevented by cutting out a round rf unbleached linen to exactly fit the loiler or pot, and laylug this at tbe bottom before putting In the clothes. This requisite shape may be obtained by drawing nround by nioa; of the covers, an inch all around being Allowed for the hem. Health Mixture. To ward oft disease: PotVt use stale milk. Ion't live in foul air. Don't buy dirty milk. Don't kiss dirty children. Don't mouth dirty money. Don't drink impure water. Don't fail to wash your hands often. Don't rub your eyes with dirty fingers. Don't get "run down" or "played out." If tired, rest Don't try to keep "up and about" all the time If you feel sick, but go to bed. Scarlet fever, measles and smallpox may be carried from the sliln of the

patient to well people by food and lingers. Don't eat food badly cooked. Take cooking lessons somewhere. Consumption is often carried in tho same way by kissing, unclean hands and by spittle. Typhoid fever and cholera aro carried by dirty habits ind by dirty water and dirty milk. Diphtheria Is spread by the lips and by fingers or other things which have been In the mouth, and by spittle. Don't worry about these things; for soapsuds and sunshine are powerful disinfectants; good habits and right living are firm friends and allies, rnd a strong, healthy body (your best protection) does not readily give a foothold to disease-producing germs.

MILLINERY

Hats are all trimmed on the right, and the favored way Is to have the flowers or ribbon tossed on hazardously near the edge, as if Just about to fall overboard. This Jaunty, irresponsible devlee Is supposed to lend careless grace to the millinery masterpiece. As variegated as the crowns and the brims of the new hats are, there Is a clearly expressed tendency toward picturesque, artistic effects noticeable In them all. The Idea of making the crown and brim of a hat of contrasting material. but in the same color, is new and has. evoked great admiration. Newly Imported beaver hats are small, cocked straight up on the left side, with .1 high roll of brün that gives them the semblance of dashing riding hats. Tn Iul Yoar Ironlns Boanl. After much use your Ironing board usually wears or sinks down in the middle. A few newspapers folded double and laid on the Ironing board and then a white cloth pinned over will make the board the same all over.

LSI r ! -i 1 ! 't - MH - i 4 Political 4.4. Mr. Taft Defends the Const It nt ion. None of Mr. Taft's utterances are more cheering than those that he has been making on his fpeaklng tour through the South regarding the Constitution of the United States. We have had a great deal of impatience expressed of late years with the Constitution, its limitations, its checks and balances and its safeguards of liberty. We have heard this impatience uot only from those raltle-bralued agitators who, like the poor, are with U3 always, but also from the high places o' the nation from men who, becauso 0' their public trusts, were assumed to ki ;ow better. Hence it Is particularly pleasirg to find that Mr. Taft does iot share this impatience. For Instance, Mr. Taft described us the other day as "the most conservative people In the world, because we know a good thing when we see it, and propose to keep It" namely, the Constitution. lie also expressed the opinion that Americans do not anywhere "wish to destroy their government or so change it as to make It different from that which our forefathers contemplated in the formation and maintenance of the Constitution." In this Mr. Taft is entirely correct Sane and sober Americans, realizing what their country is and stands for, certainly do not wish to change their form of government. They know that, despite all the theoretical criticisms' and practical difficulties, that government has worked well. They know that with and under the institutions established and safeguarded by the Constitution the American people have attained not only great national strength but a higher average? of Individual well-being than any other people in the nriuals of history. Few such Americans are willing even to admit, with Mr. Taft, "that sometimes the Constitution stands in the way of direct effectiveness." They find the national government, created by the Constitution, amply effective In the field which belongs to it. They, observe that the complaints of inefficiency crime chiefly from persons who wish to put the national government into fiilds which do not belong to It, and to invest it with powers which, for tho Kate of liberty, are reserved to the several States and to the people. Such Americans hold that any eflToet hen ess which must be obtained by a violation of constitutional limitations would be too dearly bought, since the price would be the loss of liberty. 1 it they do agree with Mr. Taft when he says : Acd yet that Constitution, staple, cloar and comprehensive, hns Xa the past b?u capable of such fair contruftlon as to moot la a marvelous way the development and emergencies of our country, wh!;h could not have been anticipated in any Oetail at all bj lho3S who framed it; and-I am very certain that the same Constitution will moet the emergenrles that may come in the future. To these words from Mr. Taft every lcyai American will say Amen!n We know not -et what sort of President Mr. Taft will bo or at least not very Charly except that he ha shown hims?l capable of being his own master and not a mere echo. But It is cheering to all loyal Americans to be assured that Mr. Taft goes Into ofilce with respect for the Constitutum with loyalty to it and with the conrktion that in obMieuoi to It all national emergencies may be met and all questions answ-jrcl in the Jntid'e as In the past. Chicago Inter Ocean. Onljr m. ear-I'anIo. The year just closed opened with financial uncertainties. Certain derangements had occurred In monetary affairs that were hard to understand aud which, in fact, seem now to have been more ' apparent than real. Iiut they were tangible enough at the time, especially to those who had in hand enterprises calling for 'general confidence and a fair share of optimism. In addition to this halt n presidential election was at hand, with an oppositiou candidate who had twice received the largest vote ever cast by his party and was likely to do it again, as proved to be the case. Taken in all, the outlook was a misty one for business men. To get through with it safely required the exercise of strong common sense and vigorous activity on the part of all opposed to experimental changes of a generally radical kind. Congratulations are due the people for the coolness aud balanced Judgment they showed In dealing with the threatening financial conditions In the last weeks of 1007 and the opening months of IMS. They were subject to some novel business embarrassments, but what was called the panic never really reached the stage of an unthinking rush of any kind. Nor was the supreme political duty of the year allowed to take the dangerous form of impulsiveness or passion. The people kept their heads admirably, both In the political campalgu and the business exchanges. For the United States It was a good year, an encouraging year, that Just closed. The nation whose population Is approaching 1C0,0(X),(HX) faces the future with a sense of duty well performed during the last twelve months, which is the best assurance of a Happy New Year. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Let Tillman Sit Down. Whatever the provocation of Mr. Tillman, there Is a manifest Impropriety In permitting him the use of the floor of the senate to assail the President of the United States and the members of the cabinet, in language which would disgrace a ward caucus. The senate has a rule which forbids tt senator to reflect upon the character or the motives of another senator, or of a member of the house, or to assail a sovereign state. Jiut it has none to prevent a senator from venting his spleen against the president or ether executive officers. 'It is beside the question to argue that Mr. Tillman should be allowed to give as good as he got. The dignity of the senate Is to be considered. The peace of mind of the nation Is to be considered, Neither of those is consistent with further pursuance of this controversy. So far as Tillman Is concerned, there need lo no sympathy wasted upon him. It Is true that President Roosevelt assailed him first. Dut It is also true that Tillman was as blt- ' ter In his denunciation of McKinley

Trouble Ahead on the Tariff. The Republican party will scarcely be able to avoid trouble over the tariff. In the first place, for a cumber of years, the tariff has beeu attacked in certain places by prominent Republicans. It has been attacked In such a violent manner In some places as to create distrust of the system Itself. In some Instances harsher things have been said against the tariff by Republicans than were ever said by Democrats. As a result of this criticism, there are any number of Republicans who not only believe that the present law Is a vicious law, but that the system itself has in It the seeds of monopoly. Republicans who have been thus led astray are not apt to be satisfied with what the Republican party will do in the way of tariff revision. They have been led to expect the Impossible, because for the most part this criticism to which we have referred was not only ill advised, but absolutely without reason. Cedar Rapids Republican. THE LAZY CLUB. Plan of EnKllah Workmen to Dlroarsge Habit of Beins Tardy. One of the best assets of a manufacturing plant Is the interest of employes, and when this develops into friendly rivalry its value is many times increased. Frequently workman wlM adopt methods spontaneously that are of great assistance to the firmIn the engineering shops of a certain English firm the workmen a yjar or two ago originated what they caiTtd the Lazy Club, says System. It was entirely their own Idea, which for obvious reasons has received neither recognition nor financial support from the management, but has been a most excellent means of reducing the number of late comers. Whenever a workman is more than five minutes after time he finds the gate locked and he is not allowed to enter until the half hour is up. This half hour is deducted from his wages, but in addition he has also to pay to the treasurer of the Lazy Ciub about 5 cents for coming late. If he is late more than once or s duriug a week everybody Is aware of the fact and the second or third tiai he makes his appearance after starting time he is greeted with a terrific combination of noises produced on any available material by his fellow workmen. At certain periods the accumulated funds of the Lazy Club are divided, not among thos who have produced them, it should be noted, but among the efdlre staff equally. Thus the late workman is made to pay the early comers for his laziness. Tae last distribution was Just prior to a '"beanfest," and funds accumulated during twelve months were distributed, amounting to over 7 shillings a head. llln Deficiency.
