tke daughter of Corp. O'Riley, whose
wife ws.a laundress for tha company,
and bees. use Kitty had been tha beat
Jocklag and smartest kid la bar
racks Bince aha was able to toddla
around.
At four years old she won. tha name
of "Kilty the Kid." and this had stock,
fit Eve she knew the name of every
"A" man. At six she knew the drill
and all the bugie calls. At seTen there
jwere only three or four members of
the company that could beat her at
reading and spelling. When she was"
three years older her father was kill
ed in a fight with the Indians, and
every man in barracks picked the kid
up and kissed her and murmured:
"Poor little gal!" as he sat her down.
It was about four years later that
Sergt Brady received what -was
called "The great snub He ha
been ten years in the service, and!
eight years a sergeant, and he was a
sort of father to the company. He
was the first to speak consoling words
to Widow O'Riley and the first to

away her teara with his bandana.'
That was his visit of sympathy.

"You have now been, a widow

Conscientious Man Thought Unusually
Good Meals Would Keep Hint
From Thinking Straight.
"The most conscientious man I ever
knew served on a Jury with me sev
eral years ago." said the experienced
Juror, "it was a criminal case and
the Jurors were imprisoned in a hotel
during the trial. At our flrst dinner
the man with a conscious refused to
eat the excellent meal provided.
" 'If I should nil my stomach with

if it takes halt doien cooks to pre

be fewer freak verdicts in this town.
"There waa so much sound sense In
the doctrine that the 11 other Jurors
had a fleeting fancy for sticking to

fleshpots of tha hotel overcame their

Mitigate Heat and Cold and Check
Tendency of Earth to Exces
sive Dryness.
Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking tha force of stead
ily blowing winds. They mitigate the
heat of summer by the vast amount
of evaporation that occurs in their
leaves by day. By night the corre
sponding condensation of moisture up
on the leaves still further absorbs the
heat on the evaporation of the mois
ture the next morning. They also pro
mote rainfalls. Thus they check the
tendency of the earth to too great
dryness, which Is almost aa injurious
to health as it is to vegetation, for
epidemic diseases are sure to do their
fatal work where the soil-water is be
low the ordinary standard.
Hence cholera often passes a wood
ed district and revels In a treeless
one. There ara numerous facts like
the following: A certain road in In
dia leada tor sixty miles through a
dense forest Further on It runs for
ninety mUes through a barren plain.
Hundreds of persons travel the entire
road daily. Now, in the first or wood
ed section, cases of cholera seldom
occur, while within the latter it has
been of frequent occurrence. One year
cholera raged In Allahabad. Soldiers
whose barracks were on a hill suffered
the most from the epidemic; those In
barracks surrounded by four rows of
trees much less; but not a single case
occurred among the soldiers whose
barracks were In a thicket It
the same the next year.
Lure of the Author.
One wonders why so many novels
are written. Yet consider the state
ment Just made by the managers of
the play adapted from "Ben-Hur."
They have paid $250,000 in royalties
to the estate of Its author and expect
to pay much more before the public
tires of it The bock itself has had
a sale of over a million copies, neve;
in a cheap form, and has pmbabl
earned another quarter of a million
for the author.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,

when applied to your case, is that the
widow of a soldier should marry an
other soldier if she marries at all. A

"That's as I please. I don't hold
