as an arbitrator between the mine
owners and the miners, who are now
on a strike. The position which Mr.

creating his department under a new

although this Is the first time he has
ever been called upon to assist In set

An Important decision has just been
tendered In Han Francisco In the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
of the "California Fig Syrup Company
vs. Clinton E. Worden &. Co., et al."
The principal defendant Is a large non
secret manufacturing concern. A per
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name—Syrup of Figs, or Fig
Syrup—and ordering them to pay the
coBts and account for damages. The
decision Is of the greatest value, not
only to manufacturers of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it affirms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex
tensive and legitimate advertising. Is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title of the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu
ine and most valuable remedy, "Syrup
of FigB.”

'< SWEETHEART
Perhaps the morning never dawned
on a sadder scene than on July 4th.
'63. when over the blood-sodden field
of Gettysburg the light began to break.
Could all the history of the wounded
and dead have been written never be
fore hud been such a chronicle of ro
mance and tragedy, but It was not;
only now and then u leaf, as It were,
has been written and preserved—this
one by an army nurse.
My hands and skirts were dabbed In
Jlood; my heart was faint within me.
For long hours I had fasted and work
ed; Into my ears had been poured the
most tender of last messages; the most
heart-breaking tales.
"You ought to rest a little," said the
rough but kindly voice of an old sur
geon; “only, If you can stand up a
minute longer—there Is a case over
here I want you to see. In silence I
followed him to a small church build
ing that had been turned into an hos
pital. Every pew was a bed of pain;
blood dripped from between the altar
rails; even the aisles were partially
blocked with the wrecks of humanity.
It is In a scene like this that one ap
preciates the "other side” of war.
The surgeon led me straight to the
singer's stand and pointed to a young
man In shoulder straps, whose blonde
curls were matted and whose beautiful
blue eyes, beautiful even In their pain,
roved restlessly over the walls and
celling. He was lying fiat on his hack
with only a prayer book for a pillow.
I saw at a glance that an arm wa3
gone. The fingers of the other hand
worked nervously.
"I can't make out whether he Is In
his right mind or not.” the surgeon
said in an undertone. "Maybe yju can
tell."
I kneeled and laid my hand on his
brow He seemed not to have noticed
me before. Now he turned a startled,
wondering gaze on me. His lips moved,
but at first I could not catch the
words. By and by I made out:
"I want Dotlie. Please bring Dollle
here.” Again: "I will give all I have
to the one who will bring me Dollle.”
‘Who is Dollle?" I asked, geutly,
still smoothing his forehead.
He looked up with almost a smile in
his eyes, and asked naively:
"Don't you know Dollle?”
“I am afraid I don't," I said, and I
smiled a little, too.
“Dollle is my sweetheart," he an
swered a moment later. His face was

She's gone now, I dreamed of her last
night; dreamed that her arms were
about my neck and that she was kiss
ing me and calling me her soldier
hoy.”
'Was ahe willing for you to go to j
war?" I naked. I.Ike the doctor, I was
not sure of his mental condition.
“Yes, willing in a way. She felt
that It was right for me to go, and
right Is law with Dollle.”
I went away then, but hd hour later,
having bribed a good woman over the |
way to let me have a pillow—her last
one I returned to his side. It seemed
to me that he had failed during my
absence and the troubled look In his
eyes was Intensified.
When I had put the pillow under his
head and bathed his fa<<*, he Bald,
gratefully:
"How very kind you are! Your j
touch ’minds me of mother's."
Then I knew he was watching me,
but he did not speak for a long time,
and when be did It was not to me:
"Father In heaven, let me see Dollle
once more; please send her to me.”
I could not stand either the words
or the pathos In the voice, I must
help answer that prayer If passible.
Hy and by I said:
“Could you tell me where to send for
• YOU DOLLIE?"
Dollie? Maybe she would come to you
It It Is not too far, and I should tell
her how much you need her.”
It was a hazardous thing to say. We
did not often dare make such sugges
tions, for, of course, few comparative
ly, could come, and It did not do to
raise false hopes. However, I felt
confident that he could not live many
hours, and his pleadings touched me
inexpressibly, even amid the scene
and sights surrounding.
At the question he flashed me such
a look.
• Will you?”
That was all, but oh. the (nteuslty of
It! “Write to 8. B. Sterling,Sterling's
Corners, Pennsylvania.”
I was not In the least doubt of his
sanity at the moment, but before I
could trace the words In my notebook,
his gaze was once more on the cell
ing, and he was babbling of mother
and Dollie.
Reluctantly I brought myself to
search his pockets, finding, strange to
say, only a notebook with the name In
gilt letters on the cover: "Donald
Dee ”
My letter was brief, only this:
''Donald Dee Is dangerously wounded
and calls ceaselessly for ivdlle.”
It was a memorable Fourth of July,
one never to be forgotteu by the p tor
fellows suffering through the hot. In
terminable hours, or the busy surgeons
and nurses who never paused in their
work of Bioistrnlng hot lips, bathing
throbbing brows washing out gaping

though I prepared him fhlcip decent
messes he scarcely ate at all; and
though a real bedstead had been loan
ed him. with a real though somewhat
dilapidated straw mattress on it, he
seldom slept. Without being moody,
he was not talkative. He seemed to
be silently consumed by some inward
longing.
"He Is dying to see his sweetheart—
poor boy!” was what the surgeon said,
and what we all thought.
It was the evening of the fourth day
after I had sent my message to Sterling
Corners. Sitting by his conch, fanning
him—It was Intensely hot—I was
startled to hear him say In a hurried
whisper:
"You don’t think she will get here In
time?”
To give myself time to frame an an
swer. I feigned not to understand.
"I am afraid I will not hold out till
Dolllo gets here. I dreamed this after
noon that her mother was here by the
bed, and she said, 'You won't have to
wait much longer, Donald,’ Her
mother Is dead, you know, and I think
It means that I am soon to go,”
Assuming a hopefulness that I was
far from feeling I answered: ”1 do not
so interpret your dream. I tako It
that you will not have long to lie here
and wait before Dollle comes.”
He caught hopefully at the sugges
tion and seemed much better all night.
Early the next morning I went to see
a poor boy whose end was unmistak
ably near and who called me “mother.”
I was detained some time and as my
return to my headquarters necessitated
my passing where Capt. Dee was quar
tered. I thought to serve him his
breakfast and then take an hour or
two of re3t.
The surgeon met me. saying: "Dollle
has come and Is waiting out there In
the kitchen. See her and then break
the news to him. He Is very weak
this morning.”
My heart beat fast; at last I would
see Dollie with her arms about her
lover’s neck. I could Imagine Just
the way he would look at her; he said
so much with his eyes.
I paused on the threshold of the
kitchen; she was not there—no one
but the cook, a strange man and a lit
tle child were In the room. Dollie
must have grown Impatient and sought
him out; the shock might kill him.
Hurriedly I turned away, but as I
did so the child sprang forward and
caught my hand, exclaiming vehement
ly:
’’Dollie wants her papa!”
In my surprise I Jerked my hand
away and fairly staggered backwards
"You—Dollie?"
It was all I could say.
‘‘Of course I’m Dollie,” she answered
In an injured tone, adding piteously:
“I want my papa, and he wants me.”
The stranger, an elderly gentleman,
now interposed by handing me my
own letter and saying:
“I am S, n. Sterling, Donald Dee’s
stepfather, and this is little Dollie, his
daughter.”
"Certainly—yes, I see,” I stammered,
and I did, though as yet dimly; It was
so entirely different from what I had
expected.
And then I went to Capt. Dee. He
seemed restless and feverish, and I
gave myself time by wetting a cloth
and placing it on his head.
By and by I said:
"If Dollie should come today, could
you bear the Joy of it?”
"I'd like to try the experiment.” and
a ghost of a smile flitted over bis
wan features. "Joy is not as apt to
be fatal as either hope deferred or
rebel bullets, and I know something
of both of these.”
Then I said:
“Well, she Is here.”
I can no more describe the unutter
able look of gladness that lighted his
face than I can describe the rapture of
the blegt.
"Thank God—and you!”
A few moments later Dollie was
covering his face and hands with kisses
and he was hugging her with his one
arm and calling her "sweetheart” over
and over again.
For the time the grandfather and I
stood apart and let them enjoy them
selves. the former telling me mean

Perhaps there are comparatively few
people who appreciate the vast scope

only of the North 'American continent,
but of several of the principal Islands
of the seas. The peoples of these far
away., sea-girt lands are of different
The government exhibit will surpass
that of last y^ar. The Libby Prison
War Museum, an immense collection
of historical relics, will be augument
ed by trophies from the war In the
Philippines and the campaigns in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The various other
exhibits in Agriculture, Mining, Elec
tricity, Machinery, Manufactures and
Art are superior to those of last year
and in almost every department will
be new and interesting features.
The grounds and buildings have
l een greatly improved, thousands of
ttees, plants, shrubs and flowers from
tropic and sub-tropic lands being used
in the decorations. In the Horticul
ture exhibit aru palms, orange trees
and scores of trees and plants from our
island possessions, many of which aro
new to the people of the United States.
The Electrical illumination will far
surpass anything of the kind here
tofore attempted and all that is new
est and most novel In electric effects
will be shown. The Orand Court will
he a fairy city when the thousands of
lights are displayed and many of the
effects are startling In their novelty
and wlerd beauty.
Several features of the coming Ex

be mentioned the Fine Art collection
