A special dispatch to the Dallas News from Denison, Tex., tells a re markably romantic story of the reunion of a St. Louis couple at San Antonio in the Lone Star State Christmas Day, after a separation of 35 years, during which each supposed the other dead. The couple arc Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Slaiden. They left Denison on the day of the happy reunion for this city over the "Katy Flyer" and are now supposed to be sojourning somewhere in the Future Great, although diligent search for them by Republic reporters failed to locate them. Nowhere between the covers of a book of fiction can there be found a story so touchingly romantic as the life history of this now aged pair. It embodies in all of its details the essentials of a perfect novel such as few iE any of the modern writers of fiction have equaled either in its con ception or its working out. Mr. Slaiden is now 55, a tall, hand some man of magnificent physique, with a swarthy complexion that is thrown into striking contrast with his snow white hair. He has the mien of a prosperous business man, but suffer ing and suspense have written their sign manual about the mouth and softened the steel gray eyes that would otherwise have been penetrating in their glance. The woman whom capricious fortune has restored to his protecting aims is not less strikingly handsome than the husband whose name tliey bear in common. Sorrow hai; brought the marks of premature old age in the predominance of the silver threads that intermingle with the gold, but the fair cheek has not been robbed of its natural beau!y and her beautiful blue eyes arc bright as they were when she as a bride bade a loving farewell to him who was nearest and dearest in all the work' to her 35 long years ago. When the Confederates fired the first gun of the Civil War at Fort Sumterin 1861, J. B. Slaiden, who was an ardent Souther!, sympathizer, kissed his young wifo good-by and cast his fortunes with the southern army, leaving his bride o? a few months at the home of her parents in a small town out in the State. From the day they i-oparated until she fell fainting into his arms last Friday they never mes. One of his boyhood companions who returned from the front reported that he had been killed in battle, and just before the close of the war he received news from a comrade that his wife was dead. The last letter he received from his wife told of the death of his parents, and the announcement that she too had gone to her rest almost finished the wreck that forced marches in the Louisiana swamps and the privations of war had begun, and Slaiden decided never bO return to his native State. He served till the last flag of the Confederacy was furled, and then, dreading the shock of a visit to his old home, he joiued a party bound for Old Mexico to cast his fortunes with the sonst of the Montezumas. Oa the way one of the party died from ex posure, and the other two entered the silver mines and gradually worked their way up till they became mine owners in a small way. Finally, by good management and pursuing good business methods, the two partners became owners of one of the best pay ing mines in tho Diaz Republic. Thus Slaiden had spent more than a quarter of a century away from his native country and his people. He had become a fixture in Mexico, spoke Spanish and the greaser dialect like a native, and never held communication with any of his old friends at home. His wife mourned him as dead, and finally made her home in St. Louis, where she undertook the education of her son, who was born soon after his father entered the army. This boy grew to man's estate and became con nected with a manufacturer of mining machinery. A little over a month ago his firm, desiring to introduce its goods in Siexico. sent him there to look over the field. One day in a hotel at San Luis Potos? father and son met. The old mine owner remarked the similarity of names and inquired about the young man's antecedents. The recital that followed satisfied him that the American agent was his own child. Finally he gulped down the lump that kept rising in his throat and ventured the question : ''And your mother; where is she ?" Young Slaiden, unaware of the intensity of the emotion that swayed the wealthy old miner, said simply : "She is now at San Antonio." The announcement of the joyful news completely overcame the husband and father, and as he swooned to the floor he gasped : "My God ! She is my wife and this is my son." When the old man recovered con sciousness explanations were given between sobs and father and son left for San Antonio to meet Mrs. Slaiden. The joy of the reunion of these two loving souls who had so long mourned each other as dead, was ecstatic, and as soon as they could arrange for the trip the husband and wife started on a visit to the scenes of their honey moon. As soon as Mrs. Slaiden's affairs can be arranged she will return with her husband to Mexico. It is expected that their son will join them there.?St. Louis Repuhlic. The Pareon and the Darkey. It is told of an old Baptist parson, famous in Virginia, that he once visit ed a plantation where the darkey, who met him at the gate, asked which barn he would have his horse put in. ciIIave you two barns?" asked the doctor. "Yes, sah," replied the darkey: "dar's de ole barn, and Mas'r Wales has jes built a new one." "Where do you usually put the hor ses of clergymen who come to see your master?" "Well, sah, if dey'e Methodist or Baptist, we gen'ally puts 'em in de old barn, but if dey's 'piscopals we puts 'cm io dc new one." "Well, Bob, you can put my horse in the uew barn; I'm a Baptist, but my horse is an Episcopalian." Pat's Ready Wit. An Irish car driver was called upon to settle a wager which turned upon his ability to answer any question that was put. to him without stopping to think.

There were six men in front of the village post office talking in a friendly way and using their jackknives on the hitching posts, and as many more sat on the steps of a store opposite, in brotherly attitudes. All was peace and harmony and good will, when a man came riding up the street on a weather-beaten horse. He was a stranger in town, but without a word to anyone he dismounted, hitched his horse to a post and walked off into a side street. Twelve men looked at that horse for two minutes without saying a word. Then one remarked : "He's bin foundered some time." "It's: just spavins," replied his neighbor. "That shows all you know about a horse ! I tell you he's been founder ed. I saw it when he was a ijuarter of a mile away." "Nothing ails that horse," put in a third man as he stood up to get a bet ter look. "Nothing but the worst case of glanders I ever saw," added a fourth. Then the sixth man on the steps went over and joined the other six, and all began a critical examination of the beast. They looked into his mouth, pulled his ears, poked his ribs and lifted his feet, and one man finally observed : "He's at least 15 years old, and I wouldn't give $5 for him." "If you don't know more than that you'd better keep out of horses," sneered the village blacksmith, who was loafing when he ought to have been at work. "Mebbe you know his age ?" "Ido. He isn't a day over 7." "Say ! He's got six ringbones in plain sight ' exclaimed a carpenter. "Ringbones be hanged !" put in the cooper. "The horse has got poll evil." Every one of the 12 men had an opinion to express, and having ex pressed it he was determined to stick to it. About half the crowd insisted that the equine was the victim of a half dozen different diseases and ail ments, while the other half put forth indignant denials. After a few min utes of this the cooper called the blacksmith a liar, and was hit on the chin, audHhat started the row. Ev erybody went to lick everybody else, and the mob surged back and forth, and up and down and used fists and feet and clubs and cobblestones. At the end of a quarter of an hour there was a cessation of hostilities, and men limped away to wash off the blood and repair damages. Just one man was left to "hold the fort," and ae he got his breath he defiantly exclaimed: "I say that boss has got ringbones, spavin and poll evil combined, and any man who disputes me is a liar." "What hoss areyou talking about?" asked a man who had taken no part in the row. "Why, that hoss over?" But there was no horse over there. During the row the strauger had re turned, mounted him and ridden away.?M. Quad, in St. Louts Repub lic. Grant liai a Monument at Last. New York, Dec. 28.?At the sug gestion of Gen. Horace Porter, presi dent of the Grant Monument Associa tion, the board of estimate to-day appropriated the sum of $50,000 to pay the expenses attending the dedi cation of the Grant monument, on April 28. The money is to be ex pended under the direction of the mayor and board of estimate. In his statement to the board Gen. Porter said that the ceremonies should be under the direction of the city authorities, as the dedication of the monument is to be distinctly a city affair. He said that the association would turn over the monument to the city on the day of dedication, and then their official connection with the ceremonies would cease." Gen. Porter said that the total cost of the monu ment will be $600,000. the largest sum ever raised by popular subscription for such a purpose. All of this money, except $18,000 he said, had been contributed by citizens of New York city in amounts ranging from one cent to five thousand dollars. He further stated that President-elect McKinley had agreed to be present at the ceremony, and that all' the mem bers of the Cabinet, the diplomatic corps, the Legislature, Governors of States and mayors of all large cities ought to be invited. TheGovernment would invite all nations maintaining fleets in the Atlantic to participate in a naval parade. A Gigantic Engineering Feat. Holland has determined upon a gi gantic engineering feat?the reclaim ing of 785 square miles of land now lying under the Zuyder Zee. Eight hundred years ago all of Holland con tained but 600 square miles of land, or less than one-third the area of the State of Delaware. Gradually, by means of great dykes, land has been reclaimed until the present area is nearly 13,000 square miles. This is more than twenty times the original area. The new work involves the construction of a dam twenty-seven miles in length. The line will run from a point near Helder, which is north of Amsterdam, to the island of Wieringen. Then from the east end of the island, which is ten miles long, it will extend eastward to the main land, connecting at a point juet south of Workutn. The dyke will measure thirty-five feet a? the bottom, taper ing to eight at the top. The first task is the driving of two rows of piles on either side of the proposed dyke, forming a passage fifty feet wide. Against these there will be packed bags of sand until two par allel embankments are raised above the sea level. The water will then be pumped out of this area and a dry canal formed from shore to shore. Here on the bed of the sea the dyke will be built of solid masonry. Be hind the wall will be a bank of earth, bound with willow twigs in a series of basket work. For the drainage of this great basin colossal windmills are to be constructed 200 feet in height, with arms seventy-live feet long. These will raise the water into the net-work canals, which will cover the reclaimed area. Nor is this the end of the task. The bottom of the sea is of sand of little fertility. Top soil and fertilizers will be brought from every Dutch colony, and in two or three generations the depressions will be brought to the level of the canals. Where once the sea flowed unrestrict ed there will be green gardens, and farms, dotted with cottages and towns, and canals covered with heavily laden barges. Holland will have spent 850,01)0.000 in completing this enterpise, but she will haw added $600,000.000 to her national wealth, and will have dem onstrated afresh the moral greatness of a people who, in the face of such tremendous natural disadvantages, have the patience to compel earth to yield her treasures.?Literary Digest. ? "Yes," said the retired army offiocr, "I can recall two occasions when I was terribly frightened." "?h," exclaimed the romantic young lady, "do tell me about them.

Bloody milk is a derangement caus ed either by a spongy condition of the glands of the udder ? r ulcer in the ducts of the teats. For treatment bathe the udder twi< a day with cold water and give sulphate of iron two grains at a dose in the morning and iodide of potassium on grain in the evening in bran mush. Continue the treatment as long as necessary. "Warts are contagious, and a milker with a warty hand may very likely cause them to come on the cow's teats. The remedy for man and animals is to ap ply any caustic preparation to the wart until it is coroded away and a raw spot is made in its place. Then ap ply calomel to the raw surface, and protect it with a bandage until heal ing is completed. "When a milking cow is troubled with warts on the teats, and there is difficulty in milk ing, a silver tube should be used to draw the milk, which will flow when the other teats are milked. The so-called loss of cud is the re sult of ioMigestion, the remedy for which is to give a pint of raw linseed oil, or even melted lard. It may be repeated the second day. when some warm mash or sloppy food should be given, with one teaspoonful of pow dered sulphate of iron and ground ginger, given in some soft food or in some gruel. The udder of a cow near calving often contains thick, soft, curdy matter, but more of it when the animal is in a condition of inflamma tion from any cause, as overdriving. This will doubtless disappear as the result of the medicine and the nurs ing, when, by good care, the calf will come in due time safely. Whipping Balky Horses. Notwithstanding the fact that the press continually admonishes whom it may concern that it does no good to whip or pound a baiky horse, almost every owner or driver of one does it to-day. It is probably the greatest piece of horse folly in existence, de clares The National Stockman. It is not a remnant of barbarism, but it is continued barbarity, and brings out what original sin there is in a man. The brain of a horse can retain but one idea at a time. If the idea is to sulk, whipping only intensifies it. A change of that idea, then, is the only successful method of management. This may be accomplished in scores of ways, a few of which are here named : Tie a handkerchief about his eyes ; tie his tail to the bellyband or the backhand ; fasten a stick in his mouth ; tie a cord tightly about his leg ; clasp his nostrils and shut his wind off until he wants to go ; unhitch him from the vehicle, and then hitch him up again, or almost anyway to get his mind on something else. Whipping or scolding always does harm. The treatment should always be gentle. There are more balky dri vers than horses. Whiskey for a Shroad. CytHIANA, Ky., Jan. 3.?Charlee Bramlette, aged 80 years, died Janua ry 2. He owned several farms in Harrison county and had been a pros perous business man all his life. At a low estimate he was worth $100,000. He was peculiar in nothing but his ideas of his own burial. He was a great reader, aad perhaps drew his notions from the histories of ancient Egypt. At any rate, wherever he may have obtained them, his direc tions regarding his burial were unique. About 15 years ago he hired a skill ful stonemason to make a sarcophagus of blue Kentucky lime stone, which is more durable than the hardest marble. At the same time he bought a barrel of the best old Bourbon the State could produce, and ordered that at his death the whiskey should be poured upon his body after it was placed in the stone coffin. The sarcophagus was then to be hermetically sealed and placed in a grave near his residence. All his directions have been followed to the letter and he is to be buried to morrow. It will take a number of horses to carry his body in its heavy reccptable to the grave already wait ing for it. Mr. Bramlette was a con stant imbiber of apple brandy and never left his house without a flask full in his pocket, although he never seemed intoxicated.?St. Louis Re public. Causes of Imanity. The causes of insanity are predis posing and exciting. Probably the predisposition was strong in all these cases, but as no one can tell without a trial how much excitement he can endure, and the trial may ruin him if he goes beyond a safe margin, inex cing times everyone should sleep more than usual and never lose self-control for an instant. Even in religion, the man who neglects his meals and sings or shouts or talks to past midnight, is in a bad way. The mighty revivals of Wesley were managed- with due cau tion. He went to bed and compelled his ministers to go to bed at the usual hour, and he was known to rebuke most strenuously those who in this particular would not obey him.?JV". V. Advocate. ?

HUGH McLEES, Ez'r. Jan 6; 1897 28 R T.oE?strcetV. Estimato of Grant. General Longstreet, who com manded corps in Lee's army, told me, several years after tho war, that the evening on which news was received that Grant intended to give personal direction to the army which was to operate against Lee lie had a conversation ontho subject at Lee's headquarters. An officer present talked very confidently of being able to whip with all case the western general who was to con front them, at which Longstreet said, "Do you know Grant?" "No," the officer replied. "Well, I do," continued Longstreet. "I was in the corps of cadets with him at West Point for three years, I was present at his wedding, I served in the same army with him in Mexico, I have observed his methods of warfare in the west, and I believe I know him through and through, and I tell you that we cannot afford to underrate him and the army ho now com mands. We must make up our minds to get into line of battle and to stay there, for that man will fight us every day and every hour till the end of this war. In order to whip him we must outmaneuver him and husband our strength as liest wc can."?General Horaco Porter in Century. The Great Bustard. The great bustard is the rarest bird that comes under the head of game. This bird formerly haunted all the level counties of England and was particularly common on Salisbury plain.
