f h - y X x , J jW 3 fl? IfY - ! h f x A SOLDIER'S TARGET. By Chnrles D. Lewis. Five sturdy recruits, every man of them n farmer's son, had been turned over to dwmpnny D nn liour or two before It left cnmji to take Its place on the picket line In front of the Third division. "Good thing for you boys," said a good-natured sergeant, ns he saw to their equipments. "We're out where you'll see plenty of Johnnies before eundow, and you'll get used to the ping of hot lead. Our last batch of fresh fish lny around camp three months be fore they heard a shot tired.' ' The recruits smiled, and were pleased ns they fell In nnd marched away with the veterans. They had come down to be soldiers. It would do them credit to write home that they had been under fire on the llrst day of their arrival. Perhaps they would have a chance at "game" before the day was over. Company D halted and erected Its tents at the reserve picket, half a mile In the rear of "the front," and pres ently the details were made up to re lieve the old pickets. .There were two men to each post, and the new men were distributed with the old as far as their number went. Jason White, 24 years old Just two weeks nway from the plow on his father's farm found himself on post with a sun-tanned vet eran who was serving out the last of bis second year. "My name's Jim Taylor," said the veteran, us he leaned on his musket and gave his companion a looking over. "You size up pretty well, but one can't alius tell. Last man I broke in turned out to be a hell of a fighter, and If he hadn't trio to stop a solid shot he'd hev bin a sergeant by this time. What made ye enlist?" "I thought It was my duty," replied White. ' 'Oh, I see! You Jest waited two years and then felt it your duty to come down here and lick the stuttln out of Lee's army? It was awful good of you to think thnt way! If you'll only pitch In and finish things up this week we'll all feel much oblecged to you!" Jason White looked at the old veter an in a puzzled way, and was Inclined to resent his sarcasm, but while he was thinking It over the other contin ued. "It's my opinion that you made a eussed fool o' yerself by cnllstln', and that you don't know duty from a cab bage head. However, as you are here It's fur me to show ye the ropes. Did ye ever sass anybody?" "I expect I have," stammered the recruit. "Well, that's good as fur as It goes. If you've talked right up to folks at home and let 'em understand that you was able to take keer of yerself, that's a sign of grit. Ever hev a fight?" "Yes, two or three of 'em." "Lick the other feller?" "Yes, sir." "That's better that kind o' satisfies me that you've got grit. When ye en listed it never occurerd to ye that yo might git one o' these things bored through yer body, did It?" And the veteran took a musket ball from his cartridge box, and reached over and tapped the recruit on the breast with it. The "fresh fish" moved back and turned pale, and with a grim emlle the other continued: "Makes a hole in a man's body almost as big as yer list, and he don't git up and play leap-frog arterwards, either. Did ye ever shoot a dog at home?" "No, sir." "Wei!, I shot a dog once, and I've thought of it a good many times since beln' down here. He was lookln' at me, pitiful like, when I pulled the trig ger and U'b bin Jest that way In the case of two or three men. I've pulled the trigger on 'em when I could look right Into their eyes, and they was Beeemln' to nsk me to spare 'em. I thought If you had killed a dog It would come easier to kill a man, but mebbe you'll be all right anyway." "What do you mean by klllln' a man?" slowly asked the recruit, as he leaned heavily against the beech tree at his back. "Say, but that's funny!" laughed the veteran. "Klllln' a man? Why, what the devil did you come down here for? Did ye expect to swing a hammock un der a tree and smoke all day?" "I I came down to fight." "Oh! ye did! Well, that means klllln somebody, 1 guess. Leastwise, you'll find the Johnnies are klllln' lots of us, and you've got to kill In return. If wo wasn't out on the picket-line you'd hev waited and killed yer first man In a battle, but as It Is ye'll git In yer work weeks ahead. We shall be out here fur a week, and during that time ye orter pop over about four. It'll all depend on yer nerve, though. What's hap pened to make ye look so devilish whlto around the gills?" "Nuthln'," was the brief reply, as the recruit set his Jaws together and made a great effort to brace up. "Nuthln', eh? Didn't know but ye wished ye was back home hoein' corn about this time. Now, I'll explain things to you a bit clearer. Thar's a rebel picket about opposite to us. and not over a musket shot away. Thar are two men, same as us, and It's our bl.ness to kill them and their blzness to kill us. Jest so long as we stay hid here they can't see us, but Its our duty to crawl down and git a shot. They may be crawiin' up on us at this very mlnlt. Ye see, the idea Is to kill. One man don't count fur much, but If we kll lenough we'll blmeby have a hun dred. Pooh! What's the matter?" Jason White had sunk down at the foot of the tree, and was looking around him In apprehension. "If they had a line on ye they'd shoot ye slttln' down as soon as standin' up," Bald the veteran. "I've knowed men to be killed even when they was lyln' down. Now, if you're ready, we'll Jest work down on the left Hank and see If we can't catch them Johnnies nap pin'." "Do you mean that you are goln to creep around und shoot a man In cold blood?" demanded the recruit, a3 he rose up with his knees trembling. "What the hell alls you!" growled Taylor, as a scowl darkened his face. "Cold blood! "Who talks about cold blood down here at the front? We're down here to kill or be killed, ain't we? I ain'l goln' to let no feller kill me If I can plunk him fust. If wo don't go arter them they'll come arter us, and so what ye goln' to do about ItT I kinder sized ye up at fust as hevln' some grit, but I guess I was wrong. I guess you'd better stayed at home and played with a doll-baby!" "You're a liar!" shouted Jason White. "Oh! Eh! Ha! ha! Got yer mad up at last, eh? Well, keep It a-bllln' and come along with me. Down on yer hands and knees, and ye want to be as ly as a fox." In his momentary anger the recruit had determined to submit to any test required of him; but as he wormed himself through the bushes at the heels of the veteran fear crept back Into his heart, and he was almost on the point Of rising and running away. When they bad gone about 300 feet, making their way as carefully as Indians on a hot trail, Taylor paused and whispered: "You wait here and lemme go on alone and locate 'em. Jest keep callla' B a liar and git as mad as ye can." He was gone ten minutes. During that lnteral Jason White had to linns on to the bushes to prevent himself from running away. When the veteran returned there was a smile uti his face and he reached out und patted the re cruit on the back and mild; "Luck Is with ye, my boy. The two Johnnk-s Bre slttln' down and smokln' and plnyln' cards, nnd we can creep up within fifty feet of 'em. You can't miss hlttln' a man In the back ut that distance." "1 shoot a man In the back!" gasped White. "Fur sure! What In the devil's name, are ye klckln' ubout? Why, 1 ortor charge ye a tun-dollar bill fur huntln' up yer game! Jest think of It ye'll write home tonight that ye've killed yer llrst Johnny. Come along, and don't be a blamed fool!" The recruit followed him through the bushes nnd over the dead logs nnd limbs until he made u halt beside a dead tiee. At a distance of not over ten rods the confedeiate pickets were seated on the ground, with pipes In their mouths nnd cauls In their hands. There had been no thing on the front that day und they had been lulled Into a feeling of security. "Host your gun across the log there and take dead aim at his back," whis pered the vetcrun, as he pulled the frnali flah" fnrwnril. "No neverl" gusped Jason White as he hung back. "What! D'ye mean that ye won t filunk a Johnny Heb arter all the trou ble I've had to set up a muik fur ye'.'" "I 1 can't do It!" "Durn ye fur a booby and a coward! You hain't got sand 'nuff to tight a tly. Say, young feller, lemme tell ye sun thin'. When 1 go back to the com pany and report what a white-livered, chicken-hearted rag baby ye ar', what are the boys goln' to suy or do? Thar' ain't a man as will even look at ye agin, and the captain will ask that ye be drummed out as a disgiuce to tho service. That's what you'll git, and nobody will pity ye." "I I think I'll shoot him!" whispered the recruit after a struggle with him self. "Will unybody call It murder If I do?" , . , "Murder bosh! Can't ye understand that Uncle Sam Is payln' ye $10 a month to kill Johnnies, and that he don't give a cuss whether ye do it with a club or a musket? I'll git along down be side ye and take the further man at the same time. They won't neither of 'em ever know what hit 'cm arter we pull the trigger. Lord, what a fair mark you've got to shoot at! I could plump a bullet Into him with my eyes shet. Set down and kill yer fust man. Jason white slowly knelt down and stretched out at full length, and thrust the barrel of his musket over the log. He breathed hard, his eyes were shut, and the muzzle pointed over the tree tops. "Durn you!" growled the veteran, as he gave him a kick, "have ye turned Into a baby or an old woman? What s the matter now? Are you goln' to wait until they git the alarm and take shel ter. Jest draw a bead on the middle of that Johnny's back." . "I I can't do It!" murmured the re cruit, a he let go of his musket and stared at the Veteran with a face as white as snow. "1 enlisted fer a sol dier, but I can't shoot a man In cold blood. And I-I don't wan't you to. either. When It comes to a battle I n shoot but not now not now." "Uncle Sam got a perch when you Blgned the rolls, he did;" sneered Tay lor as he looked down upon the other In supreme contempt. "How we would thin out the Johnnies If we had a thousand fish worms like you in the Fourth brigade! Goln' to shoot or not? The recruit raised his hands to his face and began to wave his body to and fro and sob and moan. His nerve was gone. He had no more courage than a baby. A look of pity crossed ii i,.n,,'a fnno ns he rc-carded the "fresh fish" for a moment, and then he knelt down to take a shot alone. rr.. .i,oi ninUnia hnd dlaumieared. per haps warned by some subtle Influence that death was hiding near at hand. Five minutes passed, but they did not reappear. Then, with a muttered oath Taylor esumed his feet and said to the weeping man sitting on the earth: "I wish one o' them Johnnies would Kit a bead on you! Git yer musket and come along. You ain't no good on alrth to anyobdy!" ,,,. He made his way back to the picket post, growling to himself as he went, and at his heels followed the white faced, weeping recruit. At the foot of the beech tree Jason White stretched out and covered his face with his hands and wept and sobbed like a grieved child. Not a word passed between the two. Half nn hour later the sergeant came along with the relief, and looking down upon the broken and helples3 man. carelessly queried: ,a "What ye bin doln' with yer "fresh fiS"13reakin' him In," replied the veter an. "Anv irood?" "Humph! I put up the nicest kind of a target for him. but he dnsn't shoot. He's no good except to draw rational i Swedish Philosophy.

"Do twelve Inches," asked the little New York school girl, trying to remem ber her table of measures, "make a foot or a leg?" The teacher was trying to make the little girl understand the word queen. "Queen Victoria," she said In the coursa of her Illustration, "began to relgn at the time of her coronation, and she Is reigning now." "And can she make It rain, Miss Ruthle, whenever she wants to?" asked the little girl with great interest. A little uptown girl Is wise beyond her years. Her home Is equipped with a telephone anu mis is a perpetual I source of amusement to her. A day or two ago she gravely said: I "Well, there are Just two people I have never seen and am anxious to know about." I "Who are they?" Inquired her mam ma. i "One Is God and the other Is 'Cen tral.' "Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Mamma," asked 4-year-old Georgia, what are little boys mado of?" "Dust, my son," replied the mother. Later, little Georgle saw his mother about to empty the contents of tho dustpan into the stove. "Don't do that, mamma," he cried, "there's enough dust there to make me little brother."

Indications point to a speedy con summation of the plans for n himl rub. ber trust. The new combination will be known ns the American Hard Hub ber company nnd will be capitalized nt $1!,000,000. Flrtz Achelis, piesldent of the India Rubber Comb company, ouo of tho largest concerns In the proposed combine, offeis the same stereotyped cnuse for the trust that nil other well- lntentloncd cnpltnllsts do, t. e.: "to place the buslucs sun a more healthy j basis." Another trust Is being planned by tho Rockefellers. It Is to be a brick monop-1 oly.

It was the privilege recently of tho pupils of the Chase School of Art to listen to a talk on art by M. Carolus Duran, the eminent French painter, at the Chase Btudlos In New York. Mr. William M. Chase Introduced M. Duian to the students In a short speech. M. Duran was enthusiastically ap plauded when he stepped forward. Ho prefaced his talk on art, a purely tech nical one and of great value to his hearers, by expressing his regret at being unable to address the young peo ple In Englllsh. He spoke for a while about artists of an earlier period, nota bly Velasquez, and their lnlluence on art. He urged the students to avoid carelessness in their work. Order meant much in painting and so did simplic ity, which he especially Impressed upon the students. On a frume near M. Duran were a dozen or more portraits by the stu dents. He referred to these frequently In Illustrating his talk, and especially the technique of painting. His copious criticism of the studies Interested hs hearers, although the speaker avoided dwelling unpleusantly upon deficiencies to which he referred In the works. He said that the artistic movement was not general; It was Influenced by all sorts of conditions. "Painting Is the expression of certain sensations," said M. Duran. "wnere painting oegms mu sic ends, and where pulntlng ends, po etry begins." "You should not seek to merely copy the model that Is posed before you, but rather to take Into account the Im pression thnt Is made upon the mind. You should seek to give your llrst Im pression of nature. "Take careful account of the sub stances that you must render wood, metal, textures, for instance. When you fall to reproduce nature ns you feel It, then you falsify It. Painting Is not done with the eyes, but with the brain. It Is not so much tho means that you should consider as the end to be at tained." M. Duran said that he would look In at the studios some day when the stu dents were studying from a model and would Illustrate his views by painting from the model himself for their in struction. "I may then point out to you some rather unplensant truths," said M. Duran, smilingly. After the address the pupils were nresented to the painter, who shook hands with them Individually and gavo each a word of encouragement. Then the Inevitable "camera fiend" popped up, one of the young woman, and took a snap shot of Messrs. Duran, Chase, Beclnvlth nnd a group of the stu dents. "Look here, young man," said the druggist. The clerk did not have to be told that he had made a mistake. He knew It long before. Indeed, he had figured It out for himself. "You have charged only 75 cent9 for this prescription," nssarted the drug gist, "and the regular price is a dol lar." "I admit It," said the clerk. "The fact Is I was rattled. You see, I mado a hasty calculation as to the cost ot the Ingredients, and the result was 3 cents Instead of 4, as It should have been. That Is how It hapened."

He Then why la It that man Is the jftener broke? arsaparilla is the BEST SARSAPARILLA. "Best" is an easy boast. But there's no best without a test. You expect something extra of best j something extra in bread from best flour-; something extra in wear from best cloth; something extra in cures from best medicines. It's that something extra in Ayer's Sarsa parilla that makes Ayer's the best. That something extra is quality. Remember it's quality that cures, not quantity. Geo. Smith of the People's Drug Store, Seymour, Conn., says: "I have sold your goods for twenty-five years and when a customer asks me for The Best Preparation for the Blood I say: 'If you will take my opinion, use Ayer's Sarsaparilla; I will guar antee that you will receive more benefit by using one or two bottles of Ayer's than you would by using half a dozen bottles of some other kind.' When they take it, I never hear any complaint." Ayer's Sarsaparilla cures all diseases that have their origin in impure blood: sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions, pimples, eczema, tetter, scrofula, etc. It cures cheaply, it cures quickly, and it cures to stay. That's why it's best. "After twenty years' experience a a druggist, I consider Ayer's Sarsaparilla superior to any similar preparation on tho market, and 1 give it the preference over all others." A. C. WOODWARD, Worcester, Mass. "In our estimation, as regards Sarsaparilla, Ayer's is the standard. We have never heard it spoken of in other than the very highest terms.' ;. W. E. TERUILL & CO., Pharmacists, 9 State Street, Montpelicr, Vt. MI consider Ayer's Sarsaparilla the best blood purifier on the market." Dr. GUISE & CO., West Gardner, Mass. " During fifteen years of experience with Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I have yet to learn of a tingle case wherein it failed to cure if used according to directions." F. O. COLLINS, Druggist, Paris, Mo. " I believe Ayer's Sarsaparilla contains more medicinal value than any other similar compound." JAMES DOANE, Dispensing Chemist, Kin'gsville, Out. f W W W A AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA CHILDREN'S SAYINGS. "Now, Harry," asked the teacher of the Juvenile class, "what Is tho meal we eat In tho morning called?" "Oat menl," was the little fellow's prompt response. The late Sir James Stansfleld, when a boy, once made a short prayer, In which he said: "Make us all gooderei an' gooderer until we can't be no good- erer." Mamie asked tor some horseradish on her meat, and when It had been given her she looked at it a moment nnd ex claimed: "Oh, mamma, there's a hair in It off the horse." Tommy aged, C, was teasing his moth er for something to cnt, but told thnt he must wait until dinner was served. He was silent a few minutes and then said: "I Jest honestly believe, mamma, that you are my stepmother." An Invitation to Join a box party was given a little Chicago miss of 5 by a nenr neighbor. In her delight she ran home to announce that Bessie's mam ma had Invited her to go to the theater that afternoon In a box. Eddie's mother was seated on a bench In the park one day and tho little fellow, who was playing near by, found a horseshoe. Pieklng It up, he carried It to his mother, exclaiming: "Oh, mam mnl look at the horse's track I have found." "Papa, buy me a pretty doll, won't you?" "By and by, dear; the shops are not open today." A few moments later papa takes his child on his knees: "Come, Lily, give me a kiss?" "Too late, papa, my lips aren't open today; by and by!" Tommy, the 5-year-old son of a can didate for a local office, was told that his father had got the nomination, and, running Into the house, he exclaimed: "Oh, mamma; Mr. Jones says papa's got the nomination. Is that worse than tho measles?" Mrs. Walter Damrosch Is a devoted mother, and her three little daughters arc the delight and pride of both the brothers' families. At a recent session of the Musical Art society, Mr. Frank Damrosch suddenly laid down his baton and cried, "Oh, I must tell you the latest story about Walter's children I The youngest little girl was about fin ishing her prayers the other night, when she abruptly asked her mother to 'please leave the room,' as there was something for which she wished to give extra and special thanks. Her mother wanted to know what It was, but the child let It be understood that it was of too personal and private a nature for even mothers to know about. Her mother accordingly withdrew; but the next night, when the same request was made, she Insisted upon knowing Just what It meant. 'Well,' said the little girl, after much persuasion, 'I Just wanted to give fanks for beln' 'lowed to steal some sugar the other dayl " " W HT T "WW T "V OUT OF THE ORDINARY. The popping sound of bursting bot tles led to the discovery of a fire that hud started under thu shelves of a closed drug store In Amite City, La. After a record free of marks for ab sence or tardiness for nearly live years a schoolgirl of Piedmont, W. Va., fell a victim to mumps and had to stay at nome. A well on Sanlbel Island, Florida, which had always been fresh wuter, changed to sulphur water a few weeks after a windmill had been built over It to utilize the water for Irrigating pur poses. While two friends were wrestling at Shelbyvlllc, Ind., one of them was burned on the chin by a cigar which the other was smoking. Blood poi soning set In, and It Is said that there Is no hope for the burned man's recov ery. At Evansvllle, Ind., a 15-year-old ne gro girl, who had been in court fifty times since she was 8 years old, when arraigned again on a charge of theft, was released on her mother's promise to give her forty lashes In open court on a succeeding day, which was set for the spectacle. They tell a story In Lisbon, Me., of a man who In his prosperity bullded him a 125-foot hen house, and, when adver sity overtook him, hied himself thither with his wife, and, after making some alterations, lived there In modesty but In comfort. Mrs. Thomas G. Copp of Eldora, la., has In her possession yarn that was spun from tho wool of the original "Mary's little lamb." Miss Mary Saw yer, the little girl whose lamb gave the Inspiration for the famous verses with which every one Is familiar, was born In Sterling, Mass., in 1800. Three verses of the poem were written by John Naulson, to which two more verses were added by a Mrs. Townsend. From the wool of this sheep Miss Sawyer she consented to unravel the stockings, and Mrs. Copp, who was present and an old acquaintance of the family, secured the yard. Miss Sawyer died in 1S90.
