Near ly nil sueli applications have been per emptorily refused by the department owing to the difficulty of getting men to go to the Philippines and the in creasing number of desertions. The young soldier in question is a member of a prominent Kentucky fan, ily and is engaged to the daughter of u neighbor, a well to do citizen. The young man failed to get a commission and determined to enlist, believing that be could giT a commission from the ranks, as so many have done. He failed to do so and saw that he had made a mistake in his choice of a career. 1! * wanted to come home, marry his sweet heart and start in a new career, but his application for a discharge was re fused. When tlie young woman learn ed that there was no hope of liiR com ing home before Ids time was out s'.: • announced her intention of going to the Philippines, marrying him and sharing with him the hardships of his life there. Her father in a panic wrote to Senator James H. McCreary, stating the case, assuring the senator that he could not control his daughter and saying that her rash determination must be thwarted at any cost. The senator posted to the war department as so. :i as lie got the letter and laid the matter before Secretary Root. The secretary deliberated for awhile and called in General Young, and they read the let ter together. “We’re not granting discharges,” said the secretary slowly, “but this seems to be a case where we can’t help it.” “And it is a ease of such urgency that it demands the use of the cable instead, of the mails,” said General Young. “This young woman seems very deter mined. She might not wait.” Whereupon the cablegram was sent, and at the same time Senator McCrea ry telegraphed ids friend in Kentucky that ids daughter need not go. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. An Oild l!untintr Accident. A remarkable hunting accident took place in the forest of Bambouillet re cently. The Duchess d’Uzes hunts in the forest twice a week. The Paris correspondent of the Newcastle Chroni cle states that on this occasion a stag which had been put up was in full .light when suddenly the Duchess de Luyues appeared riding leisurely just in the terrified animal’s front. Think ing only of escape from its pursuers, the stag instantly sprang to vault over horse and rider, but caught the duch ess, carrying her from the saddle and falling with her, while the horse bolt ed. Fortunately the soft turf broke the fall, and the duchess, on the approach of the hunt, was able to rise with a laugh and none the worse. A similar accident happened to the king of Eng land at Compiegne twenty-live years ago. Union Bindery Girls Strike.

This fact ex plains why Malaria is bard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, etc., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freein" them from all disease breeding mi crobes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter aud makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap point you.
