In the middle of the night 1 changed the picket, selecting for duty a young fellow who had exhibited the most intense longing to exterminate the entire northern army. "About dawn I was awakened by the well known 'ping, ping!% of bullets against the logs of the cabin and the expostulating voice of my picket. #Going to the door I saw that a small scouting party of Federal soldiers had discovered signs of Confederates in the cabin and were- trying to drive us out by firing from the opposite hill. I turned to my picket and gave a gasp of astonishment. The young man stood in the midst of the clearing while the bullets whistled around him. There were no signs of fear about him, but he was tremendously excited. He had dropped his musket and was waving his arms, trying to attract the attention of the enemy, and shouting at the top of his voice in tones of remonstrance: "S-a-y, you fellows over younder! Don't you all all be a-shootin' in here; there's folk's in here!" Might Have Baan Woraa.?Former Governor Robert B.

"Hard luck, old man," sympathized Murphy, "but it might be a whole lot worse." "Might be a whole lot worse?" querulously rejoined the patient. "Yea," was the philosophic rejoinder of Murphy. "Just suppose you were a shad." Wife Looked After Him.?Senator J. W. Weeks of Massachusetts, smiled the other evening when one of a party in a Boston club alluded to henpecked husbands, relates the Philadelphia Inquirer. He said that he was reminded of a man named Bates. One afternoon Bates was having a little gabfest with an old acquaintance, when the latter spoke of married life and the beauty of having a happy home. "That's where I have a whole lot to be thankful for," said Bates. "I have a wife who looks after m' ?onstantly. As a matter of fact, there are times when she even takes my shoes off for me." "I see," thoughtfully mused the acquaintance. "I suppose that is when you come homo tired late at night." "No, no,'* smilingly corrected Bathes, "it is when she thinks that I am about to slide out early in the evening." Going To Headquarters.?Karl Fred Bondy answered the telephone. An excited woman was on the line, says the New York Railway Employers' Magazine. "Is this the New York Railways?" she asked. "Is the general manager there?" "This is his office, madam." "Well, you know how warm it was this morning, and then how terribly cold it turned shortly afterward?" "Yes, madam." "Well, my daughter Nora went downtown early this morning and she wore only a light waist and skirt. You know how the people keep the car windows open in the summer time, and I'm afraid she'll catch her death of cold coming home. Can't you issue an order to have all the car windows closed today?" ? t?

"I had a boyhood friend of the type I mean?a rfellow named Grimes. He was a falterer, a doubter of the most exaggerated sort. "One evening I stopped to cull on him and found him in a deep study, bent over a white waistcoat lying on a table. "'Hello, Grimes,' I said. 'What's the trouble?' " 'This waistcoat,' he replied, holding the garment up to view. 'It's too dirty to wear, and not dirty enough to send to the laundry. I don't know what to do about it.'" Work Not Necessary.?A Family which had only recently come into great wealth, bought a huge country estate. One day at a reception the wife was telling of the new purchase. "It's all so interesting," she gushed. "We're to have our own cattle, horses and pigs and hens?" "Oh, hens?" interrupted another guest "And they'll lay fresh eggs for you?" "I don't know," was the rather frigid response. "Of course, our hens can work if they want to, but situated as we are, it really won't be necessary." Lieutenant Vs. Donkey.?The company marched so poorly and went through the drill so badly, says TitBits, that the captain, who was of a somewhat excitable nature, shouted indignatly at the soldiers: "You knock-need, big-footed idiots; you are not worthy of being drilled by a captain. What you want is a rhinoceros to drill you, you wretched lot of donkeys." Then sheathing his sword indignantly, he added: "Now, lieutenant, you take charge of them!"

THE FINAL WORD Various Papers Think United States Has Said its Say. Following are comments from various papers throughout the country on the note to Germany: News and Courier: This is the final warning preceding action. It now rests wholly with Germany whether or not the congress . . . shall be assembled in extraordinary session to hold the hands of the president and take action ... as the dignity and safety of the country may demand. Savannah Morning News: The new note Is to the point and is meant to end the controversy. It sums up the case. Richmond Times-Dispatch: Wilson has closed the door on further discussion. . . These words amount to an ultimatum. Germany must decide whether she will keep the peace with the United States. Asheville Citizen: The latest American note, while still couched in friendly terms, and hiding the sword, has marked the end of useless parley, and now demands action on the part of Germany. Newport News 5>aily Press: There can be no misunderstanding of the meaning of that diplomatic phrase. The president's note puts Germany on notice to respect American rights on the high seas or take the consequences. And every true American says bravo and amen. New York Herald: Probably no diplomatic note that did not precede war ever so brutally hammered in facts. . . Language could not be stronger. New York Tribune: The supreme merit of the latest note addressed by the American to the German government is that it faces the facts as they are. It tells the truth that has always been unmistakable and it tells it in words that can neither provoke just resentment nor permit honest misapprehension. New York Statts Zeitung: Of quite particular significance is the emphasis on the fact that the United States and Germany are striving for the same object as far as the freedom of the seas is concerned. And the note makes it clear and frank, curt words that the government of the United States is ready at any time to play the part of the mediator with a view to finding a practicable way out of the present situation. The diplomatic note which was sent to Berlin is meant at the same time for London. New York Sun: The future lies with the kaiser. . . There can be no misunderstanding, no misinterpretation. . . The German answer may come in words. It may be expressed in deeds. Boston Post: The note is so straightforward, so lacking in the customary frills of diplomatic language that there seems no longer any possibility of any evasive or argumentative reply. St. Louis Westliche Post: Even at the cost of infinitely hurting her own cause, Germany must concede every point if it wants to evade an open break with the United States. ? McDonald Mahon of Columbia, was one of the twentv-six American passengers on the Russian freight steamer Leo, which was torpedoed on the night of July 9, by a German submarine.

COTTdN BLOCKADES Historic Incidents Connected With the "Prince of Commerce" and the Confederacy. When slaves dropped out of the ledgers of Liverpool merchants cotton came in. Perhaps somewhat leisurely at first, for the town had petitioned parliament that the abolition of the slave trade would "ruin" it, and there was naturally required a little time to recover from the shock of its own prediction not coming true. However, cotton has remained a prince of commerce ever since, but today is rather puzzling the experts as to whether it is really contraband of war or not. Cotton has a good deal to answer for in Liverpool which is Just awakening to the fact that its great commodity is the principal ingredient of explosive shells! Yet our brokers keep smiling and will find the government all they want and more besides. Just now cotton enjoys the luxury of a German submarine blockade at home but once upon a time it used to have that of the Federal gunboats abroad. Liverpool is pretty well built of cotton and cotton goes on extending it yet. At the time of the American Civil war, we were nearly all pro-Confederates and anti-Federals. We had let the Alabama slip out of the river, and, privately, were very proud of the fact. The Alabama always stuck loyally to Liverpool. We had built her here, and some of those who knocked riverts into her still remain. The gentleman who made the leather buckets for the powder she carried only died a few months back, one of his treasured trophies being the original order, signed personally by Mr. Laird and the old stevedore who helped to put munitions on board of her?at sea near the nor*west slip?yet survives. When the Kearaage sank her the crew were saved by the yacht Deerhound of the Royal Mersey club, and her commander, Captain Semmes, retired to an avocation on shore at St. Helena, accompanied by the boat in which he was rowed away. Her sailing master became a Liverpool cotton broker, retired with his gains while quite young, and died at Llandudno. But his partner is still alive?looking annually a little younger that the year before?and it is he who gave the writer a sketch of those days when cotton had its other blockade. As before remarked, when the strife began we were optimistically Confederate. Magnates from the southern states constantly arrived here and, as some of them grew tobacco as well as cotton, spittoons were placed in the exchange newsrooms for their convenifnr>A Who remembers this fact? Tre mendous operations?never equaled since?centered round the exchange. One day a broker coolly posted up a notice inside that he had settled ?100,000 on his wife, having previously discharged all the debts he was aware of, but if anybody could prove that he owed them even a single copper he would settle on the spot. But they were not all as wise as he. Another long since deceased, offered a large sum of money for an estate and mansion at Wavertree, then a charming country dominion. His solicitor advised him to copy the example already quoted, and settle sq much on his wife. He was indignant. "Do you think I cannot take care of my own money? I Intend to double it." But the crash came before the house was ready for occupation, which it never got. Cotton was responsible for the most successful charity bazaar ever held. It was for the relief of Confederate sufferers Interned in Federal prisons. It began at St. George's hall, Liverpool, on October 18, 1864, and was open for 2,640 minutes, during which time the young ladies at the stalls squeezed ?4 per minute from those attending, while over ?8 a minute was got from all sources combined. This is a world's record, as well as a Liverpool cotton one.?London Journal of Commerce. THE BUG RIVER Is a Stream of Considerable Importance. The line of the Bug (pronounced bogg), toward which the Russians are retreating and which they are determined to hold against the invading Teutonic forces, is a dividing line between what is now known as Russian Poland and the provinces of. Russia proper, says the latest statement issued by the National Geographic society upon the war geography of Europe. The country traversed by the river Bug offers many advantages for obstinate defense. Along much of its course the river's banks are very difficult, and the country beside for long stretches is heavily wooded. Extremely bad roads, and lake, pond and marsh by the way add to labors of military advances here. This river forms one of the strongest lines or derense in tne west or tne kusslan empire. A network of feeding railways are laid to pour men and munitions into any sector of this line from any interior point in the empire. From Petrograd to Odessa, railways converge upon the river Bug. Furthermore, the river line is paralleled along its entire Russian Poland course?just as German's eastern frontier is paralleled?by a railroad, passing from the fortress in the north, Osowiec, through Blelostok, Bjelsk, the fortress Brest Litovsk, Kovel, to Vladimir Volynsk, In the south, just beyond the Galician frontier. Another branch of this railway runs, from Brest Litovsk, close beside the river, finally crossing the Bug and terminating at Kholm. The Bug rises in Galicia, about 50 miles east of Lemberg; flows west to Kamionka Busk, about 28 miles eastnortheast of Lemberg, and then turns north-northwest to the Russian border. In Russia, for a great part of its course, it flows north along the eastern borders of Poland. Northeast of Warsaw, it leaves the Polish border, turns west, and joins the Vistula river, 25 miles northwest of Warsaw, at the powerful fortress of Novo Georgievsk. To its junction with the Vistula, the Bug traveles 450 miles, more than 300 miles of which are navigable. From Brest Litovsk, it is navigable for large river boats, while above the fortress it is navigated by barges and rafts. In peace times, a considerable traffic is carried on upon the Bug. It is a very important factor in the Russian lumber trade, great rafts of logs being floated down its course from the rich forests that line its upper reaches. urain. iowis?principally geese, ror the quality of which the Polish peasant is widely noted?and cattle are also transported on the river. The Bug is connected by waterways with the interior of Russia, and its water-born freight can be sent into southern or northern Russia, as well as into Germany. Canals connect the Bug with the Pripet, and, thus, with the Dnieper river and Crimean land, and with the Niemen river. The Bug river offers one of the best lines in the west for the quick and uninterrupted concentration of Russian armies and their supplies. It also reduces the amount of frontier to be held by a great number of miles?an advantage, however, shared in by friend and foe. Still, a falling back upon this line would necessitate the surrender of Warsaw, one of the richest manufacturing cities of Russia, of innumerable industrial towns and villages, and of tens of thousands of acres of richly productive farm lands. Russian Poland, beyond the Bug, is an industrial center of the Muscovite empire, a great granary, and an important source of leather and beef. GREATEST OF ENGLISHMEN Looks as if Lloyd-George is to be National Hero. Most of the great nations involved in the war long ago discovered their great heroes. Joflfre is the pre-eminent hero of France; the Grand Duke Nicholas, in spite of the defeats with which his armies have met, is said to be the hero of Russia. In Germany von Hindenburg and next to him von Mack- , enensen are the idols of the populace. As yet in Austria no one man stands out, far over-topping all others; and it is a notable circumstance that so far the same thing is true of Great Britain, there seems to be a change in , process. She is to all appearances discovering her idol; and, if one may judge from the signs, he will not be Kitchener, he will not be Sir John EVonoh Ha will not he Asauith. or Inan Hamilton, or Jellicoe or Beatty. It looks as if he is going to be LloydGeorge. "The little Welch lawyer," that storm centre of British politics for many years before the war, has many implacable foes. These he earned through his radicalism and they will not soon cease to fear and to hate him. But their distrust and enmity cannot long make head against Lloyd-George's services to his country in this time of her dire peril if his future services fulfill the promise of those he has already redeemed. It is a difficult path that stretches ahead of him. At any time he may come a cropper which will be fatal; but at present he looks to be the most promising candidate for the position of British war idol; and this moment of his triumph, when apparently his efforts and his Influence have ended the great strike of the Welch coal* miners, which threatened to hamstring the British fleet by cutting short its supply of coal, is no time for pessimistic prophecy concerning his future. Much he owes to his brains, and much also to good fortune; for fate has so arranged the drama that his role is of a spectacular sort that appeals to the imagination. Perhaps in the end it will be the verdict of history that the services of Kitchener, who now is considered to have failed where Lloyd-George has succeeded, were no less great and of no smaller value than those of the latter; but at present It is Lloyd-George's star that bums brightest in the sky of popular approval.?News and Courier. Think* Honest, Sane Advice is Needed.? We believe that Mr. Wilson is a great and good man, but he Is only human. If ever he needed the advice of his friends he needs it now. The unanimnity of the Democratic press in backing up Mr. Wilson's policies may yet mean the party's undoing. In other words to use a hackneyed metaphor, "he is in danger of being slaughtered in the house of his friends." It is a dangerous sort of party loyalty that reduces one to the state o/ a blind follower. Too many of us are letting somebody else do our thinking and trusting to Mr. Wilson to save us from our sins of omission. Don't be timid, gentlemen; speak up in meetin*.?Dillon Herald. ?

Bread should never be covered with a cloth when taken from the oven, but laid on the side and allowed to become perfectly cold, then kept In a closely covered tin box without any wrappings. * Many women and girls make the great mistake of sacrificing their physical comfort to the call of fashion. When the styles demand that thoro hp nn hi tin those whn are rather large in that direction try everything short of suicide to force their hips into the narrow space, set by the styles. Stnys are often worn so tight that the poor flesh beneath is all creased and ridged when they are removed. It is always very bad for the health to wear the stays too tight. All kinds of maladies result from a constant pressure around the abdomen, tomach, waist and diaphragm, the space covered by the ordinary styles. Indigestion and other stomach troubles are perhaps the commonest ills coming from tight stays. White corduroy is among the most attractive of the materials ofTered for the spring season, and if one uses care in washing it will prove to be a practical material for skirts and coats. Corduroy, or golflne, Is not expensive, excellent qualities being offered for $1 a yard for twenty-seven inch widths, and occasionally a special offer being made at a lower price. To wash corduroy, follow these directions faithfully if satisfactory results are desired: Wash in soapy water, made of warm water and white soap, then boil for one-half hour in soap water; rinse through three changes of clean water of the same lukewarm temperature, then In cold bluing wat ci. xj\j uui w x 1115 ui oqucoAc, uuv hang in the open air to drip and dry. The conviction in many of our minds that the popular hat will be the sailor must be considerably strengthened by the success, whether practical or complete, of the new skirt. A spread at the base will want either an unmistakable brim or absolutely no brim at all, one or the other, the hair giving in the latter case the full surround to the face that is necessary to balance the base line. Naturally with the gradual approach of summer the little hat will become unsuitable, for although a sunshade may always make up for lack of brim, it has been acknowledged that we are not in these practical busy days given very much to invariably carrying about the elaborate sunshades that belong to the spectacular or professional view of life. The best known fashion experts say that: The fashionable flare skirt has had its influence on the veil. The flare veil is worn with a small hat having the tiniest of brims. Taffeta bodices are worn with white organdy skirts. The latest wrist bags are small and made of faille silk. Black and white stripes compose many blouses. Some navy gabardine suits have tan buttonholes. Some girdles of changeable silk in various hues are being worn with lingerie and cotton frocks. They are rather long and tasseled at the ends. Usually they are doubled, being made of wide silk rather than ribbon. Silk sweaters and silk fabric coats are a feature of the fashionably gowned woman's wardrobe at the style centers, and coats of crepe de chine and shantung are worn with lingerie dresses ?
