THE WRONG ORDER.

My friend, the ex-assistant secretary, told me the story, and made me promise not to use It, for he knew my failings, until he rutired from office. I have kept my word, although I greatly fear that the exaB8istant secretary will not be pleased to eee it appear at all but he will be somewhat reassured when he remembers that he and I are the only two persons now living who know the true version of his sudden rise, which at the time filled the country with some passing wonder, and certain older and, as they doubtless felt, better men with much enduring anger.

It was one of the ex-assistant secretary's favorite observations that the most useful of the great, yet homoly, truths of life is that a man's merit should never be jndgod by his position in the world. My friend is a keen observer of human existence, and from his long experience with men is so woll fitted to judge them that what would appear as smartly epigrammatic in another and younger man is well worthy of consideration when falling from his lips. So, when ho delivered himself of the aphorism which has just been quoted. I felt sure that ho must have had some excellent reason for his belief therein. Impelled by curiosity, in which, from my long intimacy with him, I unhesitatingly indulged, one night over a bottle of the ex-secretary's favorite madeira, whioh had boon given him by tho captain of a confiscated brig for whom ho had boon enabled to do some slight service in tho days of tho war, I made bold to ask my friend *vhy ho should so omphnslze tho value of that particular observation. Ho gazed at mo long and thoughtfully, and finally told me, after exacting the solemn promise mentioned above.

Now, in ordor that a reminiscent chord may be struck in tho minds of those who are in position to remembor tho affair, and that tho minds of those who are of a later gonoratlon may bo guided to intelligent comprehension of it, I will briefly relate tho facts ua they appeared at tho time of their actual occurrence as seen and Judged by their contemporaneous witnesses.

In tho third year of tho civil war the president of tho United States appointed to on important and lucratlvo place in tho war department a young, inexporlenced and, as some wero ploased to say, ontiroly inoompotont man, who had loft law practice in New York toacoopt a captaincy in a volunteer regiment organized in and about his native vlllago, not far from the metropolis. When tho nows of this peculiar appointment had been sent abroad by tho correspondents, thefrlendH of tho other and bettor known applicants for tho same place raised a loud and unanimous protest, which occasioned much editorial commotion, as all will romombor who read the papors of that time. After this hod continued with unabatlng bitterness for a fortnight nn enterprising journal printed tho authentic reasons fur tho precipitate aco of t.ho president and thereby stillod the discord into a melody of admiration. It appeared that this unprotontious and obscure civilian soldier had proved himsolf a hero and military genius of no small ordor, for with a more handful of men ho had completely routed a brigade and a half of tho

Test

Confodornte troops without firing

a shot, and by that deed pavod tho way for tho brilliant military movement whioh ao successfully followed. The young man was no other than my friend tho ex-secro-tary, who, with that as a foundation, rose to his lato position by ability alone.

After my promlso had been faithfully acooptod the ox-socrotary lit a fresh cigar, sipped his wine, satisfied himself that the door was closod, tasted tho madoira again and hogan.

You must know," ho said, with a faint smile, "that whon a man of my age and experionce flays anything like the quotation to which you refer he probably means It, and whon a man means a thing he usually has a good reason for his emphasis.

This, of ootirse, was an indirect oompliment to my perspicacity,and I bowed gracefully. Ho resumed: "In the presontcase my reason Is no loss than my own career, which, as you will Roewhon I have ended, is an existing proof of tho truth of tbe aphorism. When I was first prevailed upon to accept a captaincy in my regiment, I wa« a young man with a small law praotioe. My naturally romantic temperament made the life of a soldier, although I was not ignorant of its privations aud miseries, seem most desirable. Therefore, against the advice of my friends and tho prayers of my family, I finally determined to go to the front. The ilrst daj that I wore my uniform and tho first da that I paraded at the head of my company down Broadway were to me the happiest, and proudest moments of my life, and I thought that It would be an easy and a grand thing to charge headlong against the guns of the enemy. We went at once to the front and were brigaded with General division of the —th corps, then waiting orders to advance in turn in rapid pursuit of Loe, who had started out on his great invasion of Pennsylvania. Before I had become really accustomed to the hardships of camp life and had bad some of tho glitter of arms dimmed by actuality, I was ordered one night to report at regimental headquarters. I went, my heart in my mouth, just- as I used tr pet out for th. principal's office In my school days. I returned from regimental headquarters In a far more demoralised condition than I ever oatne from my schoolmaster's study. 1. was strongly suspected, I had been told. that there might be a body of rebel troops acting as a blind to the real movements of I the Confederate army, not far in advance of the —th oorps. Now, It was absolutely necessary that this be investigated. Major General had selected tho regiment to ascertain this fact, and the colonel, delighted wltb the honor, bad selected me to command the reconnaissance, for be had always bad a fondness for me. I was to take tuy company at midnight, proceed under cover ol the darkness and avoid An engagement unless rocvautry. Tbe rest should be left to my judgment,

Hero the ex-assistant secretary smiled another smile and puffed a cloud of smoke into the air. When it had floated away, ho started again.

"It might have been left to the discretion of an army paokborse aa well as to my judgment, for I was in an awful state of—well, what the boys nowadays call 'the rattles.' I took a brace, however, for I thought of rny reputation, and gave tbe necessary ordera We were under way half an hour later, and, following directions, marched due west, outside the camp lines and the pickets. 1 looked at my watch by the glare of the last fire. It was 12:30 o'clock. In a few hours it would be dawn, but then it was all pitch dark. The road was a broad, gray streak, bordered by black blotches which as we passed resolved themselves into clumps of trees and became blotches again. The country was billy, and tbe unevenness of the road did not improve the condition of my mind. I had never smalled powder fired in battle I had never scan soldiers in action. I wondered what I should do if we were attacked. I tried to remember the orders, and foolishly swore because I had forgotten my fieldbook. "The men marohed along silently and spectrally. A sudden halt in front sent my breath into my throat, but it was only a stump which had deceived Sergeant Simmons. We went forward, ever forward, in the darkness. An hour passed, then another. We must have gone ten miles. The east begin to lighten. Soon the trees took limb and leaf. The fences looked cold. Tho sky became leaden and then silver. Some of the men began to eat hard tack. Ahead was a ridge where the road rose and seemed to end. I halted my company, let the men close up and moved forward again. I was still in a high state of nervous tension, and still a little rattled, as you say nowadays. I kept wondering what I should do if there was hand to hand fighting. I felt for my sword, and even for my revolver, and when I found them safe 1 was ashamed and looked to see if tho mon had seen me. We had come to the bottom of the slope. What I should have done was to have sont scouts to tho top to look over, but instead I marched my company right up tho road to the brow of the hill, never thinking of the vast possibilities of the other sido. "Now, it has always been a mystery to me why the rebel general who comtnantlcd the brigade and a half never posted pickets. Ho didn't, for when wo got to tho brow of tho hill wo saw only tho road stretching down tho hill, flanked on both sides by woods. I orderod tho men to tako to tho fields and go through the woods on the right. The men all debouohed together, 75 of thom. I was in tho center of the column. Never shall I forget the sight that met my eyes. Bolow us, at the bottom of a greon field, half a milo away, without a fonce intervening, a little village of white tents, with tho smoke rising from tho campflres, spread out. They covered three a urea, it seemed. Thore wero men in gray, the first rebols we'd seen. My heart actually stoppoil beating for a second. I saw my men standing with their mouths open, fingering their guns nervously. They looked toward me inquiringly, like a lot of children. A tangled idea took form in my mind that wo should retreat.

"I opened my mouth and yelled. The noxt moment, with a cry, I found myself rushing down tho field with my blue coated soldiers against a brigade and a half of Confederates. I tried to reason it out aa I ran. Ovor me came a wild desire for action, slashing, blood. I pulled out my sword as I ran, yelling like a boy on a holiday. I saw the tents and a scurrying crowd of tho gray men, which grew larger, and then broko and ran in every direction, thousands of them. When we got to camp, not one remained. But we found three battleflags and rifles and camp baggage and truck without end. After I got my breath I sat down and tried to reason it out. Then a dim thought took possession of me that if wo staid there we should probably be captured and killod, and I was about to order a spirited retreat when from out the woods broke a crowd of blue coats, and more and more. They stopped stock still whon they saw the tents. I waved my hand and shouted. My men waved their hats and shouted too. "Well, whon tho colonel came up, he looked at me and I looked at him. Then ho shook my hand and said he'd take mr to Major Goneral He would at once. sir. Yos, sir. A man who's brave enough to attack and capture a place like this, sir, should bo knawn, sir. 'But, colonel,' said I. 'Not a word, sir,' said he, 'not a word, sir,' and I kept silent, but I did a lot of thinking." 'ly friend paused again. He looked toward a sword and a pair of captain's shoulder straps whioh hung on the wall over tho bookcase. "Well," ho oontinued, "the colonel told the major goneral, and beaskod to be introduced to me, and he publicly complimented moon my bravery. The whole corps know it, and I was an object of pride and adulation. The 76 who went with me told their envious comrades how I'd nover hesitated, but cried, 'Forward, charge!' when I'd BOOH the onotuy. Then I realized ho', it had happened. In my attack of prostration I'd thought one order and spoken another, and the men, being green, had obeyed. If thoy had been veterans, they would never have done it. "There Isn't much more to tall," my friend continued. "After the Gettysburg campaign had ended General Mende met mo aud said ho was proud to know the man who had made the wny for the —th corps to advance unhindered. My major general know some of the people in Washington, and there in .vo months I was introduced to the president, aud after a little delay be gave me the place which causod so much comment. I didn't want to take it, for 1 had gotten a taste for campaigning and rather fancied it. At last, howevor, I y* ceptod, but before I did I went to President Linooln and. with no prelude, said: 'President Lincoln, before I accept the place I want- to be honest with you, sir I've bet troubled about it all along, far my friends have boon too precipitate with this thing. Mr. Lincoln, all that talk about my bravery nonsense. When I saw those tents, sir, and those rebels at the bottom of that hill, I was so scanxi that I meant to yell "Knn for yorr lives!"

TERBE HAUTE SATURDAY

E

HE WAS A POOH BAH.

HOW YOUNG FOX RAN A WHOLE COUNTY IN DAKOTA.

He Held All the Offices For One Winter and Bather Enjoyed the Experience, Though It Is Presumed That He Was

Sometimes a Little lonesome.

There is a man in this town who was the supreme ruler of the whole county for almost six months. He was a Pooh Bah with a vengeance. His name is E. J. Fox, and he is fond of telling how he ran Cavalier county in the first winter .fif its existence. It came about in this way:

Cavalier county had been named, but unorganized, for several years up to 1884. It consisted of a large strip of land, all owned by tho government, ly ing west of the western boundary line of Pembina county. About that time P. McHugh of Bathgate was elected as a representative of Pembina county in the legislature, and it occurred to him and to Attorney W. J. Mooney of the same village that it would be well to organize Cavalier county and add to it the three ranges in thfe western part of Pembina county. This western part of Pembina county was very much higher than the rest of the county, and was situated, the people said, and say yet, "on the mountain." So McHugh got a bill through the legislature defining Cavalier county as it is today.

That was in the winter of 1884-5. A courthouse was built at Langdon, which was designated as the county seat, and at the election in November various county officers were elected. But none of the county officers came to Langdon to live. It was already a bad winter, and they could see no reason why they should come if there was some one there to take charge of the records. So they united in asking E. J. Fox, a young man just from Canada, to take charge of the offices until summer. Fox accepted the position, or positions, and in December took charge of the affairs of the county. The courthouse was then a large building—in fact, too large for use. Fox decided that it would be better to leave it vacant until spring, and he took up his abode in a one room "claim shack," the only other building in town. This was about 15 by 20 feet in dimensions, and there he lived and did business that winter. He was deputy clerk of the courts, county judge, county treasurer, coiuity auditor ami register of deeds. The sheriff lived in the country and the superintendent of schools lived just across tlho M.iriiobu line. The sheriff did not serve out Hs term, for he was put in .il for slioc ling a man in a fight. There was not another living soul within two miles.

Fox live! entirely alone, and did his own cooking, except the bread baking, which was done by a neighbor three miles away. Langdon, though the county seat, was not yet a postoffice. The postmaster of Olga, in the eastern part of the county, used to send over a largo package of letters and papers about twice a week to the people whom he knew lived near Langdon, and Fox would give to these people their mail when they called for it. There was not one settler 40 miles to the west, but about 40 aud 50 miles northwest, near the Manitoba line, there were several settlers, and some of these used to drive that great distanoe to "file" on a homestead or a tree claim4 When they did that, Fox had to give them their meals and lodgings, and, in fact, he had often to keep a sort of hotel.

The winter of 1884-6 was very cold, and at night Fox used often to lie awake and listen to the blizzards howl around his little shack. He was kept busy, however, for there were many filings, registerings of mortgages and a few deeds. An average of two or three men would come to see him daily on business, but he seldom saw a woman. Nearly all the settlers near him at that time were bachelors, who afterward went back to Canada to get married and indeed Fox did the same. Everybody was poor, and yet they all seemed to enjoy themselves, though they had to haul their wheat from 50 to 75 miles to market.

The winter passed very swiftly, and in the summer Mooney and McHugh came with their families. Then other settlers began to pour in. Buildings went up, as if by magic, and in a few months there were a postoffice and a dozen dwellings. Talk of a railroad began to be heard, and in a few months it came. Then indeed Pooh-Bah Fox had to surrender his glory. He chose to take up the humble position of superintendent of the schools of the county and he still retains the place. He is disposed to think that, in spite of the comforts and conveniences of the present mode of life here, he enjoyed himself more that winter when he was monarch of all the government offices of Cavalier county.—Langdon (N. D.) Cor. Chicago Record.

Emerson's Wit and Humor.

There never could be born a man essentially great who did not like to laugh or to make at least others smile. Even Schopenhauer and Nietzcbe could crack their grim jokes. There is nothing incompatible in that drollery whiGh Emerson at times indulged in. In The Forum Mr. Henry D. Lloyd thus descants on Emerson:

A pleasantry recorded of him is a story he told of a friend who carried a horsechestnut to protect him from rheumatism. "He has never had it since he began to carry it, and indeed it appears to have had a retrospective operation, for he never had it before." An English friend tells me that while with Mr. Emerson in his garden discussing some problem of life Mrs. Emerson called to him for some wood. Emerson went to the wood pile. When he came back, he said, with his wonderful smile, "Now, we will return to the real things."

When Oliver Wendell Holmes asked him if he had any manual dexterity, he illustrated his want of it by replying that he could split a shingle four ways with one nail, "which," says Dr. Holmes, "as the intention is not to split it at all in fastening it to the roof, I took to be a confession of inaptitude for mechanical work In later years he lost his memory of the names of things. Once he wanted his umbrella, but could not recall the word. But he got around the difficulty. "I can't tell its name, but I can tell its history. Strangers take it away.'' His daughter ran in one day to ask who should be invited to join their berry picking party. "All the children," he said, "from 6 years to 60."

The Greatest Monarcli

Is a fit subject for pity if he is troubled with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject who digests properly may well be envied by a prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptic of every clime and nation owe a debt of gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rescues them from one of the most obstinate and troublesome complaints against which medical skill is directed. On this continent, in Europe and the tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-ertfSf |»tly and justly popular, not only as a stomachic, but also as a means of preventing and curirg malarial, rheumatic, kidney. bilious and nervous disorders. It improves appetite and sleep, hastens convalescence and acquisition of vigor after exhausting maladies, and counteracts the infirmities of age. A wineglassful taken before retiring has a tendency to promote tranquil, health yielding sleep, a boon much coveted by nervous invalids.

St. Nicholas Day In Holland.^

In some houses the little children who go to bed early put out their shoes and stockings and find them crammed with presents in the morning. Others have to play a game of hide and seek for their presents, which the father and mother have hidden in the most mysterious manner and in out of the way places. In a great many families, however, Dec. 5 is celebrated by sending and receiving parcels in the evening of that day. "Parcels" must be taken here in a very broad sense. The servant who has to answer the bell is obliged to bring in whatever is put into her hands or before her and consequently is often heard to giggle behind the door of the room in which the whole family is assembled. Then in walks—nay, is put— a most extraordinary looking gentleman or an old lady or a queer animal, consisting chiefly of wood or of linen filled with sawdust, in which the present, sometimes one of very small dimensions, lies concealed. Funny little rhymes often accompany tho parcels, and generally much good natured teasing Is contained in the poetical lines. The patience of some people is often sorely tried by a parcel consisting of a big ball of very fine cotton, which has to be unwound to get at the! resent.— Annie C. Sniper in St. Nicholas.

As the name indicates, Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer is a renewer of the hair, including its growth, health, youthful color, and beauty. It will please you.

The Countess of Beaconsfield.

Speaking of his wife shortly after her death, the late Lord Beaconsfield said to a friend,'' She was an excellent woman, but she did not know who was first, the Greeks or the Romans." Benjamin Disraeli has only been dead 15 years, but men no longer consider historical or other ignorances the test of woman's excellence. At the same time, men would probably not be attracted by the late Countess of Beaconsfield, in spite of her well known goodness of heart, for she neither sacrificed to the graces nor to the muses. There is a happy medium, and the voters who were so systematically silent on fashion and dress have apparently not been able to hit on it.

Birmingham's Parks.

One feature rather surprising to an Amerioan is that every park is made for use. There is ho fear lest the grass may be injured, but in every ground adapted for tbem are cricket and football fields, picnic grounds, croquet lawns, tennis courts, bowling greens, the use of wbicb is permitted for a merely nominal payment. Every park, large or small, has one or more concerts each week during tbe summer, paid for by a neighborhood subscription. Less need Bxists for large parks than in American tities of the same size, because the better class of houses all have ample gardens.—George F. Parker in Century.

An UnprandutM Gain in Waigtri

A Trained Nurse Gained Fifty-three Pounds by Using a Nerve Food.

ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE RESULTS ON RECORD.

JFVom the Gazette, Yonkerf F. I don't look much like a living skeleton now, do I And yet two years ago I weighed just seventy-two pounds," said Mrs. J. W. Coffey, of 55 Warburton Avenue, Yonkers, N. Y., to a reporter. And we agreed with her, for she certainly looked snything but a living skeleton, but rather bore the appearance of a plump and attractive lady in excellent health and spirits. Continuing she said: "I bad lost my appetite and was wasting away in flesh, losing some fifty pounds in a few months. Doctors said I was threatened with consumption. I was under what was regarded as first-class medical treatment, but it had apparently little or no effect, for I kept getting worse until I was so weak that I could not attend to my household dutieB and could hardly walk. My husband and everybody who saw me thought surely that I would die, and there seemed no help for me.

Tonics and stimulants and medicines all Beemed useless, and I grew worse and worse until at last I resolved to seek some new remedy one entirely out of the usual line of nauseous drugs and doses of stuff which seemed to take away what little relish I might perhaps otherwise have had for food. A friend told me of some wonderful cures effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I bought a box. The effect from their use was noticeable from the first and soon appeared almost miraculous, for it seemed pretty nearly like the raising of one from the dead.

I soon commenced to eat, something I had scarcely done before for weeks, and soon began to gain in flesh and strength. I went one day to the doctor's office and he was surprised at the change in me for the better. I had to confess that I had been taking the pills, and he was broad-minded enough to advise me to continue what was evidently doing me so much good. I took, in all, six boxes, and increased in weight from 72 to 125 pounds, which is my regular and normal weight." "Are

nurse, .. xirregular hours and at times great exhaus tion. Daring the two years since my re* covery I have had many engagements, and through them all have continued in good health. I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the remarkable power of this great medical discovery. I know of other cures effected by it. A friend of mine suffered greatly at her monthly periods. One box relieved and three boxes oured her. But I know of no case equal to mine, for my situation was critical, desperate and almost hopeless."

Mrs. Coffey has lived in Yonkers for sixteen years, and for twelve years has followed the business of attending the sick, excepting only the period of her illness. She has hundreds of acquaintances and friends who know her to be capable and trustworthy. Many of them know how very ill she was and how remarkable was her recovery. The pills have a large sals in Yonkers and Westchester County, which will be greatly increased as their merits beeome better known, for they seem to be one of the medical marrela of ho aae

AN UNSOLICITED TKSTIMONIAI* From the Democrat, AtlatUa, Texas. Being constantly asked by many of my friends if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals People were doing me any good, I offer this unsolicited testimonial and answer. Never having seen a well day since I had typhoid fever last summer, I could retain scarcely any food, my limbs and joints ached and pained all the time. It was misery to me te rise up in bed and my mind was clouded, in fact was a physical wreck and I felt that my life was drawing to a close, and I must con* fess it was without regret on my part as my sufferings were almost unbearable.

Since I commenced to tako Dr.Williams' Pink Pills, hi the solicitation of my wife, I have taken four boxes, and I feel like a new man. My appetite is good and I now retain what I eat, my limbs and joints are free ol
