The South and the Service. Capt. Marion B. Saffold, an A bama boy and a West Pointer, v shot and instantly killed Sature while leading a detachment of his n iment, the Thirteenth United Stat Infantry, in a charge at the battle Novoleta, Philippine Islands. T V'**.. part that the South has borne in t Spanish struggle and the far Easte confects, which is its outgrowth, :. brought to attention with an acce tuated interest by the death of tl soldier pf Dixie. It is true that soi ~: of the States below the Mason a ^ Dixon line had some difficulty in fi ing their quotas of enlisted men, b . of a truth the Southern officers ha . borne their full share of the heat ai burden of the fray. Since the W h-)"of Secession there has been a feeling "West Point and in the army that tl ' sons of the men who followed t' stars and bars from Ball's Bluff Appomattox would hail the coming > a foreign war in which they mig! fight under the folds of the stars ai stripes. The long list of the officers kille and wounded during the struggles < the last eighteen months includes large share of Southern names. A ? large a share of the names known t P? the ^Southland may be found in th list of the \ officers of the army an navy who during the same time hav distinguished themselves ior heroism Saffold who was killed Saturday at th haadof his men,, claimed the same Ala bama home as does Hobson, of the Mei rimac fame. Worth Bagley, the on 1; naval officer killed during the Spanisl war, came from North Carolina. 1 negro was killed by a fragment of thi shell which struck Bagley down. Tht dying ensign asked that the negro re ceive the first care. "Victor Blue Southerner and Annapolis graduate dared the fate that overtook Na th at Hale during the revolutionary war bj traversing with a single companion the Island of Porto- Bico, subsequent . ly reporting to the American authori ties the dispatches of the island's de fensive forces. Andrew S. Bowan. Virginian and West Pointer, dared death in a similar way by piercing tc the heart of Cuba before any othei American soldier had set foot on its soil. Twenty years ago there entered West Point with the writer of this article two Southern boys-Wil ? liam E. Shipp and William H. Smith. They met each other foi the first time as they left the ferryboat to toil up the steep hill leading to the hotel.' Their orders bf appointments as ca dets gave them until the next day to report for examination." The two young Southerners occupied the same room at the hotel; they passed their examinations together; they tented together during the troublous mouths of pleb camp; they roomed together ; during the four years of their cadet course, and finally joined the same regiment as second lieutenants, the Tenth United States Cavalry. We used to speak of them as Damon and Pythias, and more than once it was jocosely remarked that in order to carry the comradeship to a fitting end they ought to die" together. Smith , and Shipp were shot and killed with in five minutes while they were leading the dismounted black troopers up the slopes of San Juan Hill. During the time that I spent at the United States Military Academy Shipp was my closo friend. For a year his and his roommate's quarters were close ' to mine. One day, forgetting the fact that Shipp was from North Carolina, I loaned him Albion W. Tourgee's "A Fool's Errand." The scene of the book is laid in Shipp's home, and many of his friends and -relatives are roundly abused by it. Shipp read the story ,and said: "'The man who wrote this book had unreas oning hatred in his heart. I hope to show him some day that some love of country is possible in the despised place." . The fulfillment of this hope came when he fell sword in hand on the hill of San Juso. *** In the same West Point class with Cadets Shipp and Smith was John W. Heard, of Mississippi. Heard is now a captain in the Third United States Cavalry. OD the way to take part in the battles before Santiago the trans port to which Heard and his immedi ate command were assigned ran close to a point of land where a large body of Spaniards were in ambush. The deck of the transport was swept by Mauser bullets for half an hour. It was necessary to transmit orders from forward to aft. This could only be done by the appointment of a man to the duty. Every step of the messen ger's way was one of imminent danger though this fact was not at first real ized. Two men were ordered to the dangerous duty, and they were both shot in quick succession. Captain Heard said: "I'll ask no more of my men to expose themselves. Give me your orders." For twenty minutes he carried messages from one end of the vessel to the other, though Mauser , bullets eut his blouse, spattered the . deck and splintered the railings about ] him. Every stride of the way was marked out by the leaden volleys, yet he came through unscathed. He now wears the medal of honor given t:For Valor." *** In the blood of its sons in Cuba and the Philippines the union of North and South has been cemented. In the wiping out of sectional lines the na tion fi?ds full compensation for the cost of the war. EDWARD B. CLARK. A Snake With two Heads. George Sloan, a farmer living on the knobs in Monroe Township, brought to the city last evening a snake, four feet in length, that is a curious freak of nature. It is hard to tell whether Mr. Sloan's catch should be called snakes or snake. It has two heads and two tails and is of two different species of snakedom. One head and one tail are those of the ordinary harmless black snake, while the other head and tail are of the variety known as a cowsnake. Back from the head of each reptile there is a growth of body about a foot long and an inch and a quarter in diameter. Then comes a single body, somewhat larger than the forward part, and about two feet long. This part belongs to the cowsnake, and out o? this grow the two tails, each about a foot long, one belonging to the cowsnake and the other to the black snake. The reptile is harmless. It was captured by Mr. Sloan in a novel way. He had been missing newly hatched chickens, and supposed rats were at fault. Wednesday morn ing he heard a noise among his fowls and he ran to the chicken house, where he found the strange creature writhing on the floor and the chickens huddled in a state of terror. The two heads had gone after the same chicken, and each mouth was clamped on either end of the chick, and neither would let go. A battle royal was on for-possession and Mr. Sloan called his family to witness the affray. Up to this time he had given no thought of capture, but on a son's suggestion he procured a two-tined hay fork and pinned the warring blacksnake-cow snake combination to the earth. This caused both heads to let go, and the chicken, dead, of course, drop ped on the floor. A box was procured and in this the double-header was placed until a cage could be made. Indianapolis (Ind.) News. mm . - - How Different Nationalities Eat. The Eoglish and Americans are ad mitted by all unprejudiced foreigners to be the most refined eaters in the world. To see them go through the various stages of their dinners is to have a lesson in the art of graceful eating. Very different is the behavior of the Russian, who does not disdain to usc nature's weapons when he considers the latter more convenient than the knife Knd fork. The Frenchmen will use r, piece of bread in nearly all cases where he should use a knife. The German, on the other hand, plunges his knife in to his mouth in a way that is terrify ing. The Swede cuts up his food into tiny pieces first of all, and then, having laid aside his knife, proceeds to take up piece by piece with his fork. The Italian uses a spoon quite as often as a fork. He will employ the former for vegetables, and sometimes even for fish. The latter use of the spoon is somewhat curious. The Japanese diner uses chopsticks, a form of implement somewhat diffi cult to manipulate without consider able practice, while the Chinaman tears his food with his long nails in a manner throughly repulsive. The Greek swallows his meat in huge mouthfuls, and would probably devour a steak weiKhiog half a pound in half a minute. Taking a very sharp knife he divides the meat into four or five sections, each of which he flings into his mouth in rapid success ion. It is not to be wondered at that the Greeks suffer much from indiges tion.- 'lite Kitchen. It will not be a surprise to any who are at all familiar with thc good qual ities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, to know that people everywhere take pleasure in relating their experience in the use of that splendid medicine and in telling of the benefit they have received from it. of bad colds it has cured, of threatened attacks of pneu monia it h-s averted and of the chil dren it has saved from attacks of croup and whooping cough.

"Why, of course not. She had coralled him just as he was edging away to uplay ball on the lot"-that's what he always told her he'd been doing when he came in anyhow, after being away the whole afternoon, and she said to him: "Son, I'm going to take you down to the bathing beach. Your pa will meet us there about 4 o'clock and give you a swimming lesson. Boys ought to know how to swim." The boy surveyed his mother out of the tail of his eye. He twitched. "The fellers'll be down there, and they'll put heron tome," he was prob ably thinking. "I don't want to learn to swim," said he. "Oh, but you must learn, you know," said his mother. "It is not what you want. It is what your pa wants. I warn you that you had better try to learn, too, when your pa is teaching you." Even in the teeth of calamity the boy had to turn away his face to hide his grins. Five or six of his boy friends were already splashing around in the water when Johnny arrived at the bathing beach with his mother. When they saw Johnny and his mother they look ed at each other and winked solemnly. Johnny, before he went into a cell to put on his trunks, tried to catch their eyes so as to scowl at them warningly but they studiously avoided his gaze. "Why, how sunburnt . your back and arms are, Johnny," said his mother, when he emerged in his trunks. "Yes'm," said Johnny. "Was playin'. ball 'ithout my coat on yis tiddy and the sun burnt through my shirt." Then Johnny looked at his mother slantingly to see iT he had made his ?arn stick. He had. "Well, did you ever!" exclaimed ais mother, "I do declare!" If Johnny was not thinking 'Women is easy marks," he certainly ooked as if he were. He stood on the shore and looked vistfully at the water. "Come on in, Smoke," yelled his )oy friends to him. "Come on out to be raft." "Don't you dare to try to do any ?uch thing Johnny!" his mother called o him. "Just you wade around until tour pa comes. He'll teach you, and ifter a few weeks you'll be able to go ?ut where those boys are." "Johnny" was a pretty disgusted ooking boy. The other boys sat on he raft and grinned at him. He jaddled around in water up to his inkles, and when he suddenly slipped md tumbled into kneedeep water his nother screamed. "Come right out of that water at ?nee, Johnny, ?zd wait till your pa jets here!" she exclaimed. "Johnny" caught the eye of the >ronzed mau who looks after the kids iud fishes them out when they get o fooliag riskly, and winked the eye urthest removed from his mother. Che beach guard put his outstretched ingers over his face to hide his grin. Then the boy's father arrived. He ooked sideways at the red peeling kin on thc back and arms of his son md heir, and a twinkling light came nto his eyes. "Just think how tender-skinned Johnny is!" said his wife. "The sun >urned him that way through his birt when he was playing ball with iut his coat yesterday afternoon, ^sn't his back a sight?" "Uiu-in," said he' and he went imo mc of the bath rooms and rigged him elf out in a bathing suit. As he ame out he caught the boy's eye. rhc boy looked at. his toes and grinned. Iis father looked across the stream .t the flats and grinned. "I'll bet I%can teach thc kid to swim n one lesson," said the boy's dad to he boys mother. "He's got the look if a natural born swimmer about um. "Has he really, Jack?" she asked. "Isn't that remarkable?" "I'm onto you with both feet, son," aid the boy's father when they got nto the water together. "I suppose rou can swim across the river and >ack can't you?" "I never tried so far as that," erdied the boy. Ile and his father vere pretty thick pals anyhow, and he :ould sec by thc twinkle in his dad's iye, that there wasn't any trouble in ?tore for him. They fooled around for a while in ballow water, thc boy's father prc ending to teach the kid thc rudimen ary motions in swimming. Then hey struck out together and swam tut to the raft. They swam all around bc raft for a half hour orso. When hey came out thc boy's mother was ip in thc clouds over the aptitude of 1er wonderful boy. ''Did you ever in thc world see any hing like it?" she asked her hus >and, enthusiastically. "Johnny wimming just like a dolphin the very irst time he ever goes into the water! sn't that simply phenomenal, Jack?" "Oh, I don't know," he replied, gazing across the water with a humor ous, faraway expression in his eyes. ''Oe takes after me. I could swim the first time my father took me into the water." Which was probably no lie, for thc coming and going of generations changeth not the nature of the boy. Philadelpliia Inquirer. > Vagaries of Love.
