COULDN'T HAVE THE HORSES. A Message That Gen. Washington Re ceived Fro -I-is Mother. - St. .Nicholas. .\uch of Geurge \\'ihington'S nnr trength of characttr was due to his spicn,hI'd ancestry. as the lul lowing little anecdote will testifv: \\hile reconnoitering in West moreland couintv. \a.. one of Gen. \\'ashington';s ( 'neecrs chanced upon a nne team oi horss driven before a plough by a burly slave. Finer animaL he had never seen. When hs eye- had fasted on their beauty he' cred t' the driver "Hel, goodi jellow! I must have those horses. They arc ust stch animals as I have been look inc or. The black man grinned, rolled up the wlhites of hiz eves. put the lash to the horses flanks and turned up another furrow in the rich soil. The officer waited until he had tinished the row: then. throwing ba.k his cavalier cloak, the ensign of rank dazzled the slave's eves: -Better see missis! Better see misses !" he cried. waving his hand to the south, where. above the ce dar growth, rose the towers of a fine old Virginia mansion. The offi cer turned up the carriage road and soon was rapping the great brass knocker at the front door. Quick the door swung upon its ponder ous hinges and a grave. majestic looking womin confronted the vis itor with an air inquiry. "Madame." said the officef. doi fiing his cap and overcome by her dignity. "I have come to claim your horses in the name of the- gov ernment!" Mv horses?" said she. bending r.pon- him a pair of eyes born to command. "Sir. -ou cannot have them. -"I crops are out and I need my ho-ses in the field." I am sorry. said the officer. "but I must have them. madame. Such a- the orders of my chief." "Your chicf? Who is your chief pray ?" she demanded with re strained warmth. *The commander of the Ameri can army. Gen. George Washing ton." replied the other. squaring his should:rs and swelling with pride. A smile of triumph soften ed :,e sterniness of the wom. , handsome feature,. "Tell Georgc Washington," zaid she, "that his rother savs he cannot have het horses." With an humble apologv. the of ficer furned away, convinced that he had found the source of his chief's decision and self-command.. And did W.ashington order his officer to return and make his moth er give up her horses? No. he lis tened to the report in silence: then, with one of his rare smiles, he bow ed his head. GLAD HIE MISSED HIS 1MARK. When Representative Jenkins of Wis consin Shot at Gen. Lee. Geui. Fitzhugh Lee and Repre sentative WV. A. Jones of Virginia were in the house gallery the other day when a messenger camne to ask Gen.

Pneamonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although i emay have the: proper remedies at hand. A physician should a!wars be called. It should be. borne in mind. however, that pneu monia always results from an attack of the grip. and that by giving Cham berlain's Cough Remedy the threat ened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment ot pnetm-n.Ia with the best results. Dr. \\. . Smith. of Sanders, Ala.. who is also a druggist. says of it: "I have beni selling Chamberlain's Cough Recedv and prescribing it in my prac t:ce for the past six years.
