ODD PHASES Things That Made Of Fa: New Yo Courage possesses a man completely ] at one time and at another does not j ?yen find him. It may be too much to say that the quality called nerve is a mood, but there are many instances that go to show how strong a man may be on one oecasion and how womanish OB another. A regular army cavalry officer, one of the men to go down with a bad wound in the first fight before Santi ago, had proved his valor in Indian campaigns when he was wearing his first shoulder straps. He had been a witness of many scenes of violence on the frontier, and he fought well and hard before Santiago. He has always been known among officers and men who have soldiered alongside of him as intrepid. A few years ago, when he was commanding his troop down in one of the Arizona cavalry garrisons, one of the soldiers of his outfit shot Himself in a fit of remorse after a pro tracted spree. The soldier waited until mess call for dinner. Then he got his carbine out of the rack, put a . ball in it, pulled oif his right boot, and, working che trigger with his toe, sent the bullet crashing into his head, dying almost instantly. The com mander of the troop, the officer of proved courage, was on hand in a few moments. He passed through the .crowd of troopers, and took one look at' the dead man. Then he put his hand to his head, reeled dizzily and, in a dead faint, fell into the arms of a ; couple of soldiers. He was uncon scious for fully ten minutes, and it was the sight of the blood that did it. There had been no comradeship be tween the officer and the dead soldier, such as often spring up between en listed men and officers who spend , many years together in the same out fit or post, for the suicide had been recently transferred to the troop. It was a pure case of wilting at the sight of blood on the part of the officer, al though he had been used to violent scenes since his earliest manhood, and ha could afford to, and did acknowl edge it freely. Capt. Gridley, who died at Hong Kong, whither he was carried very ill after he had done his share of the fighting with Dewey in Manila Bay, had a similar, experience when he was a commander. He was in some of the ba^ fighting jobs of the civil war, and was a conspicuously brave and cool headed man. When he was promoted to the rank of commander his first ship had as a member of her crew a Jacko'-the-dust, who was a heavy drinker, but so valuable a man that the officers overlooked a good many bad breaks. A Jack-o'-the-dnst is the "striker" for the paymaster and the paymaster's yeoman. He holds the rate of seaman, and is assigned as Jack-o'-ibe-dust to dish out the pro visions to the mess cooks and to act as general factortum for the pay office aboard ship. Gridley had not been in command of the ship for a month be fore the Jack-o'-the dust went on a spree and had to be put in the brig over night. Gridley had been ship mate with the man on and off for twenty years, and liked him, and hated to see him in trouble. So, when the Jack-o'-the dust got sober enough Gridley had him brought aft to the cabin instead of jawing him at "the stick," and gave him as clever a man-to-man talk as a blue jacket ever listened to. Then, instead of punish ing him for his spree, he turned him ' loose. This was on a monthly muster morning. The remorseful Jack, on whom Gridley s kindly talk had press ed heavily, got into his mustering clothes and appeared . op dec!: ail right for muster. When the men were dismissed he went below to stand in one of the paymaster's store rooms until the skipper had finished inspect ing the ship. Gridley made a very thorough inspection of the ship in company with the executive officer, and thc inspection was to wind up with the officers and store rooms in the after part of the vessel on the berth deck. He walked a few feet ahead of the executive officer, and when he reached the last paymaster's store room and peered inside he fell back into the arms of the executive officer, utterly unconscious. The ex ecutive officer called out for the sur geon, and then looked iuto the store room to see what had such an effect upon thc cool-headed Gridley. Thc repentant Jack-o'-the-dust was sitting on a box of salt water soap, dead, with his throat cut from oar to car. The thing make so painful an impression npon Gridley that he was under the weather for some time, and yet he was one of the nerviest men in Uncle Sam's line of fighting packets. An engineer cadet, who is now an assistant engineer on one of thc cruis ers in Cuban waters, went ashore in Honolulu to weigh coal for his ship one morning about five years ago. When he returned aboard for luncn eone all hands were at mess, except a loutish-faced landsman, a former farm ? . / OF COURAGE. ricers of Proved Spirit int. >rk Sun. hand from interior California, who had been the butt of his mates as an innocent of the rawest kiud. This landsman had bolted his dinner and was leaning over the starboard rail, looking no more stupid and inert than he generally did. A big coal lighter was moored alongside the ship, and the cadet in order to get aboard ship had to climb from the steam launch that brought him off onto thc lighter, and then pull himself up on the fixed gangway ladder to the gangway. There was a space of about two feet between the coal lighter and the ship. Into this space the cadet, missing his hold when he attempted to clutch the lad der, fell, feet foremost, with a splash. The crew of the steam launch heard the splash, but did not know what had caused it. It was about 100 to 1 against the cadet'a saving his life by his own efforts, for when he came up his head was due to bump against the bottom of the lighter, and it is a hard proposition even for a good swimmer to keep his nerve under such circum stances. The cadet didn't keep his nerve, and he would surely have been a goner had it not been for the loutish landsman leaning over the starboard rail. The loutish landsman proved to be the right man. He did not even kick off hts Government brogans before he let himself fall into the space between the lighter and the ship at the exact point where the cadet had gone down. The crew of the steam launch saw the move and wondered what it meant. They did not know the cadet was underneath the lighter. In about, half a minute the moon-faced landsman came from beneath the lighter, and he had the cadet along with him. The cadet, his nerve gone, was very wild, and clutched the landsman fiercely. The landsman freed his right arm from the grasp of the struggling cadet and gave him a jolt on the point of the jaw with his big right fist that the cadet declares he feels yet. The blow put the cadet out of the game altogether, but it saved his life. He would have pulled his resouer down with him had he not been knocked silly, and this was one of the times when an enlisted man struck an officer without being punished for it. The landsman and the oadet were hauled into the steam launch by the crew, and the ship's company proceeded to hunt up another butt for their humor. The moon faced landsman wasn't made to serve in that capacity any longor. Not long after the Atlanta went into commission an apprentice boy who had been dubbed by his companions the man-o'-war equivalent of a natural, put the whole pack of them into the shade by a sudden exhibition of nerve. A gun's crew, including several of the boys, and this slow-witted boy in par ticular, were engaged in breaking out one of the after magazines. Two of the men were down in the magazine and fastened cans pf powder to the hoist hook, and the rest of the gang were at the head of the magazine hatch handling the ammunition as it came up. The Atlanta wasn't fitted with electric lights at that time, and the gunner's mate in charge of the job swung a olosed lantern in his hand at the head of the hatch. He was swing ing it somewhat cerelessly when the lantern struck against one of the sides of the hatch, and thc lamp, already loosened, fell from the lantern down the hatchway. It fell squarely on the top of a can of powder-a twenty-five pound can. The meu down in the magazine had gone way forward to get another can of powder, and they weren't on hand to pick thc lamp off the powder can and extinguished it. The heivy-headed apprentice boy was at the top of thc hatch, though, and he was thc only one of the gang who wasn't paralyzed with fear. While all of the others stood waiting for thc ; ship to go into the air, he slid down the hoist chain like a cat descending from a tree. He grabbed the lamp, the wick of which, still ablaze, was j m ' ' heating the iron can, and blew it out. Then he clutched the handle of the : powder can with one hand, took a firm ! hold ot: the hoist chain with the other, j and yelled : j ''Shoot me up out o' this, you fel j lows above there, quick !" j The lad with the can of powder in his hand was at the top of thc hatch j in no time. Ile ran for the poop as soon as ko made the spar deck and chucked the can, the lid of which was hot from the wick of thc lantern lamp, : over the side into the water. The lad certainly *aved his ship from being . blown.up. Tho skipper didn't punish the boy for wasting Government am . munition, as may be taken for granted. , Instead, he commended the lad so ? highly in a letter to the department ! that the boy received a special letter ? of praise from the Secretary of the j Navy. An American sealing vessel, bound for Japan and thence to the Aleutian sealing waters, got onto the French Frigate Shoals a couple of hu miles off the Hawaiian Islauds, years ago, and began to go to p An American man-o'-war, m soundings down in that neighbor sighted the wrecked sealer, and tl the sea was terrific a boat's crew ' the leadership of the chief bo' mate, was put off from the war si succor the sealer's crew. Thc bo'sun's mate was not a man nc for nerve. He had, in fact, s the white feather in two or three ups he had with other chief ; offcers of his ship, and he had prestige among the men forwar this reason. When the man-o get within a hundred feet or s the sealer, which was rapidly goii pieces, the crew of the succoring saw, with considerable disgust, all hands aboard the sealer, inclu thc skipper, were boiling drunk, were standing maundering .to another, waiting for the last lure their ship, instead of making an e to clear the life boats of the da It was impossible for the war st boat to get alongside the wre< sealer on account of the giant s The chief bo'sun's mate, who hith?rto lacked the nerve to take own part in fo'c'sle squabbles, di intend to let it go at that, howe He leaped suddenly into the sea, he had a navy pistol stuck into bosom of his mustering shirt wher leaped. When he drew near to distressed sealer the seas slammed against the ship's sides time again before he was able to clutel a rail chain to pull himself abo; He succeeded in climbing aboard fii ly, however, and then he made a r forward to where the crew, includ the skipper and mates, were hudd around a rum cask, soaking themseb The chief bo'-sun's mate hopped i the middle of the gang of drunkar whipped out his big navy pistol i made the bluff of his life. The bi went. "Cut away the boats, ye sots, ? take a chance, or I'll put an ounce lead into every drunken dog of ye hs yelled. He covered the crew with his g as he spoke, and his attitude sobei the men. They lumbered out of 1 fo'c'sle and, despite their half-he lesscoodition, they got two long bo? clear of the davits, and all bani nineteen men in all of the seale crew, got at the oars in the nick time. The bo'sun's mate went alo in one of the long boats, and, follow by the man-o'-war's boat, they i made for the American war shi which was hove to a quarter of a m: away. The sealer went to pieces t minutes after the crew had left h< The crew was taken to Honolulu 1 the war ship. The chief bo'sue mate was afterward regarded by 1 shipmates as a man who could only carried along a certain number knots. Commander Thomas, formerly of tl gunboat Bennington, had his li saved aboard that ship by a Ch?ngale mess attendant in an odd sort of wa; He was doing a bit of inspecting ( the berth deck, aft, one afternoo when thc executive officer of the shi came to the head of the after berl deck ladder and shouted down belo to anybody within hearing : "Is the captain below there ?" Commander Thomas heard the cal and, without making any reply to tl question, started from the pay offit for the ladder, intending to go abo1? to the main deck to see what the firf lieutenant wanted. The hatch rig! at the foot of the ladder had bee carelessly left open by a seaman wh had goLe forward for a bit of gear, an it was dark on the berth deck. Th commander had his eyes raised to th head of thc ladder, anyhow, as he ap proached the ladder, and had he mad another step he would have plunge to the bottom of thc deep hatch an been mangled to bits. Me was arres ted by hearing a piercing vo'ce bellini him exclaim : ''Damn thu skipper's eyes ! Daun the skipper's eyes !" With his foot still raised to tah thc step that would have plunged hin into the hatch, Commander Thoma turned his head suddenly. "Who's that?" he asked. Then the Cingalese mess attendant leaping out of the darkness, had th< skipper clutched by the sleeve, an( jerked him back from the open hatel by main force. Thomas couldn't quit< sec into it for a second, until th( Cingalese, wno had fortunately pickec up English on a British wind-jammer pointed to thc open hatch. Thc Cin galese explained in his broken dialed that the exclamation he had used was the first bunch of English words that caine into his ?lead when he saw the captain's danger. He couldn't ' remember thc English equivalent ol the word "stop" soon enoagh, lie said, and so he had damned thc skip per's eyes as the best way of attract ing the officer's attention. "And so thc first thing that crops into your head is to damn your skip per'? eyes, is it?" asked Thomas of thc Cingalese. The man got all the best of it on thc Bennington after that. An ordinance sergeant stationed at one of the Pacific coast artillery posts went suddenly insane a few years ago. His mind had been disturbed for some time by the hard-heartedness of a young woman who declined to marry him. On the day that his wits went completely away he made for the magazines with the intention, as he quietly announced to a young Swedish recruit whom he met on the way, of blowing them up. The Swede's eyes stuck out at this, but he was one of thc tribe of quick thinkers. "Ay tank Ay'll go alang an' halp," I said he to the crazy ordnance ser I gcant, whose eyes gleamed with in sanity. The sergeant made no re sponse, and the Swedish recruit walked after him. Thc sergeant opened the door of one of the main magazines, that held many thousands of pounds of black smooth-bore powder, and started to break out a big box of it. Thc Swede saw that thc crazy man actually intended to blow up the magazine. When he was convinced of this he picked up a shellbar, waited for the insane man to turn his back and banged him over theheadjwith it. Then he carried the crazy ordnance sergeant on his back to the guard house. The Swedish recruit was a corporal the next day.

Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes: "I consider it the best medicine I have have ever used in my family. It does all you claim for it, and even more." A Sly Dodge. A comic actor who had beeu engaged to entertain a family party, proposed, at tko conclusion of the performance, a little game of his own. Each of the company, himself included, was to stake half a dollar, and the pool would be taken by the person who possessed thc most of the a*%icles which he (the comedian) woild inquire for. On his assurance that he would take no mean advantage, but run the same risk as the rest, all the members of the party consented, and between $15 and $20 were soon laid upon the table. The actor added his mark to the pile with a cunning smile, and then said : "Now, which of you ladies and gen tlemen have the greatest number of false teeth ?" Deathlike stillness for thc space of one minute, then a burst of laughter, beth hearty and, in some cases, forced "I have three," continued the actor. "Who has got more ?" The comedian took the pool. Melon Story. "My grandfather was very proud of his melon patch," said the man who was telling the story, "and when that big melon began to spread about he was happy. Well, that melon kept on gro\ ing, and finally it became a question of whether they should move the house or cut the melon. Grand father thought a great deal of that melon, and he didn't like to cut it until it was fully ripe. Ile thought it over a great deal, and finally decided to move the house. A dozen men were employed, and the house was moved. But that melon kept on grow ing until it became necessary to move the barn or cut the melon. Grand father had the barn moved, and then thc fence. At last the melon was ripe. He determined to have a regular water melon feast, so he invited the neigh bors for miles around. He employed two men with cleaves to cut the melon. At last the eventful day arrived, and hundreds of people stood around with open eyes and mouths. Finally the melon was cut open, and to the dis may of all it was found to be hollow. A ?negro named Sam Johnson was inside. He had tunneled his way under the melon, cut a hole, and eaten his way through. There were thoughts of lynching him, but he died before the plan was carried out." ?#*fc<am**^*nV*<em WMeV*SiV*tf I "Pitts'-' i I Carminativo ? i Mmwmd My Barny'* 1MB." J ? ** \ I LAMAR & RANKIN DRW?

The patient I refer r.o has need the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at the different noted lithia springs in different parts of the Uni ted States, besides long continued use of the same waters at home. Other of my pa tients and friends are now using the same with best results. I cordially recommend it to all suffering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, THOMAS 8. POWELL, M. D., Pres. Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Cte. In my experience as a physician nothing has given me greater satisfaction or yielded more certain results than your Lithia Water.
