An Important decision lias just been ,

The principal defendant Is a largo non-

manent Injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name Syrup of Figs , or Fig
Syiup and ordering them to pay tbo
costs and account for damages. Tbo
decision' ' is of the greatest value , not

ISWEETHEART
Perhaps the morning never dawned
on a sadder scone than on July -itli ,
'OS , when over the blood-.sodden Hold
of Gettysburg the light began to break.
Could all the history of the wounded
and dead have been written never be
fore had been such a chronicle of ro
mance and tragedy , but It was not ;
only now and then a leaf , as It were ,
has been written and preserved this
one by an army nurso.
My hands and skirts were dabbed in
Jlood ; my heart was faint within mo.
For long hours I had fasted and work
ed ; Into my ears had been poured the
most tender of laat messages ; the moat
heart-breaking talcs.
"You ought to rest a llttlo , " snld the ,
rough but kindly voice of an old sur
geon ; "only , If you can stand up a
mlnuto longer there Is a case over
hero I want you to sco. In alienee 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 SCCMIO like this that ono ap
preciates the "other side" of war.
The Burgeon led mo straight to the
singer's stand and pointed to a young
man In shoulder strans. whose blonde
curls wore matted and whoso beautiful
blue eyes , beautiful even In their pain ,
roved restlessly over the walls and
celling. lie was lying Hat on his back
with only a prayer book for a pillow.
I saw at a glance that an arm was
gone. , Tuo fingers of the other hand
worked nervously.
"I can't make out whether ho Is In
his right mind or not , " Ih6 surgeon
said lu an undertone. "Maybe yon eim
toll. "
Ikneeled and laid my hand on his
brow. He seemed not to have noticed
mo before. Now ho turned a startled ,
wondering gaze on me. His lips moved ,
but at Ilrfat I could not catch the
words. Hy and by I made out :
"I want Dolllo. Plcaso bring Dollle
hero. " Again : "I will give all I have
to the ono who will bring mo Dollle. "
'Who Is Dbllio ? " I asked , gently ,
still smoothing his forehead.
lie looked up with almost a smllo in
his eyes , and asked naively :
"Don't you know Dolllo ? "
"I nm nfrnld I don't , " I said , and I
smiled a little , too.
"Dolllo IB my sweetheart , " ho an
swered n moment later , Ills face was
"I WANT DOLLIE. "
eery grave now. "And , oh , how she
cried when I came away ! Poor Dol-
lie ! "
A few moments I busied myself in
trying to make him more comfortable ;
tlion ho broke out again :
"If only I could bee her Just a few
minutes it would bo heaven on earth.
Maybe she would come If Mio knew I
am sick. I am sick , ain't I ? "
"What alls mo ? I feel so queer and
sore all over and "
"There ! " ho suddenly Interrupted
himself "If you Iqok quick you will
see Dolllo's head up there when the
light shlnos on that lamp. Look I
Why , how natural her curls , and she
smiles at mo out of the corners of her
eyes a trick of bora. Dear Dollle !
She's gene now. I dreamed of her last
night ; dreamed that her arms were
about my neck and that she was kiss
ing mo and calling me her soldier
boy. "
'Was she willing for you to go to
war ? " I naked. Like the doctor , I was
not sure of hla mental condition.
"Yes , willing In a way. She felt
that it was right for mo to go , and
right is law with Dolllo. "
I went away then , but an hour later ,
having bribed a good woman over the
way to Irt me have a pillow her last
one I returned to his side. It acomod
to mo that ho 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 face , he said ,
gratefully :
"How very kind you arc ! Your
touch 'minds mo of mother's. "
Then I know he was watching mo ,
but ho did not speak for a long time ,
and when he did it was not to me :
"Father In heaven , let me sco Dolllo
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 possible.
By and by I said :
"Could you tell me where to send for
"YOU DOLLIE ? "
Dolllo ? Maybe she would como to you
If 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 ho could not live many
hours , and his pleadings touched me
Inexpressibly , oven amid the scene
and sights surrounding.
At tlio question ho Unshed mo such
a look.
"Will you ? "
That was all , but oh , the Intensity of
It ! "Write to S. D. Storllng.Sterling'b
Corners , Pennsylvania. "
I was not In the least doubt nf his
sanity at the moment , but before I
could trace the words in my notebook ,
his gaze was once moro on the cell
ing , and ho was babbling of mother
and Dollle.
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
Deo. "
My letter was brief , only this :
"Donald Dee Is dangerously wounded
and calls ceaselessly for "Dollle. "
It waa a memorable Fourth of July ,
ono never to bo forgotten by the poor
follows suffering through the hotIn -
tormlnablo hours , or the busy surgeons
and nurses , who never paused In their
work of moistening hot lips , bathing
throbbing brows , washing out gaping
woundsreceiving last messages , "writ-
Ing letters home ; " In short , doing what
they could when everything was to
do.
As soon ns possible wo had the
young captain removed to moro com
fortable quarters. His wounds worn
doing fairly well , but the surgeon said
the shock had been too much for his
nervous system ; ho might or might not
live. "Everything , I .should say , depends -
ponds upon the nursing , " ho added ,
looking meaningly at me.
"I will do my best for him till Del
llo conies , " I made answer , but my
heart misgave mo ; I did not think she
would come , and If she did well , the
future was veiled , as futures arc apt to
bo.
Day by day ho wasted away. Al
though I prepared him fairly decent
he ecarcoly ate at nil ; and
though a real hcdntead had been loan
ed him , with n real though somewhat
dilapidated straw mattroafl on It , he
seldom Blcpt. Without being moody ,
he was not talkative. Ho seemed to
bo silently consumed by some Inward
longing.
"He Is dying to BOO his sweetheart
poor boy ! " was what the surgeon Bald ,
and what wo all thought.
It was the evening of the fourth day
after I had sent my message to Sterling
Corners. Sitting by his couch , fanning
him It was Intensely hot I was
startled to hear him say In a hurried
whisper :
"You don't think she will got hero In
time ? "
To glvo myself tlmo to frame an an
swer , I feigned not to understand ,
"I nm afraid I will not hold out till
Dolllo gets here. I dreamed this after
noon that her mother waa hero by the
bed , and she said , 'You won't have to
wait much longer , Donald. ' Her
mother Is dead , yon know , and I think
It means that I am soon to go. "
Assuming a hopefulness that I was
far from feeling I answered : "I do not
so Interpiet your dream. I take It
that you will not have long to Ho hero
and wait before Dolllo comes. "
Ho caught hopefully at the sugges
tion and seemed much better all night.
Early the next morning I wont to see
a poor boy whoso end was unmistak
ably near and who called mo "mother. "
I was detained some tlmo and as my
return to my headquarters necessitated
my passing where Capt. Dee was quar
tered , I thought to servo him his
breakfast and then take an hour or
two of rest.
The surgeon met me , saying : "Dolllo
has como and Is waiting out there in
the kitchen. See hc'r' and then break
the news to him. Ho Is very weak
this morning. "
My heart beat fast ; at last I would
see Dollle with her arms about her
lover's neck. I could Imagine just
the way ho would look at her ; ho 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 wore In the room. Dolllo
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 :
"Dolllo wants her papa ! "
In my surprise I Jerked my hand
away and fairly staggered backwards
"You Dolllo ? "
It was all I could say.
"Of course I'm Dollle , " she answered
In an Injured tone , adding plteously :
"I want my papa , and ho wants me. "
The stranger , an elderly gentleman ,
now Interposed by handing mo my
own letter and saying :
"I am S. B. Sterling , Donald Dee's
stepfather , and this Is little Dolllo , his
daughter. "
"Certainly yes , I sec , " 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. Ho
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 Dolllo should como today , could
you bear the Joy of It ? "
"I'd like to try the experiment , " and
a ghost of a smile Illtted over hla
wan features. "Joy is not as apt to
bo fatal as cither hope deferred or
rebel bullets , and I know something
of both of those. "
Then I said :
"Well , she is hero. "
I can no moro describe the unutterable
able look of gladness that lighted his
'aco than I can describe the rapture of
the blest.
"Thank God and you ! "
A few moments later Dolllo waa
covering his face and hands with kisses
and ho was hugging her with his ono
arm and calling her "sweetheart" over
and over again.

Perhaps there arc comparatively few
people who appreciate the vast scope
of the First Greater America Colonial
Exposition which opens Its gates at
Omaha on July 1st. The United States
has become , within the past year , a
mighty umpire whose possessions He
on cither side of the globe , and It Is
a stupendous undertaking to bring to
gether In one grand comprehensive
exhibit the national resources , indus
tries , manufactures and products , not
only of the North American continent ,
but of several of the prlm-l ul Islands
of the seas. The peoples ot these far
away sea-girt lands are of different
races ; their manners and customs ,
their language , dress and modes of
life differ widely from those to which
we are most accustomed , and both
time and capital are required to secure
all the things necessary to make up
an exposition which will do them Jus
tice. That this feat has been accom
plished is due not only to the push
and energy of the Exposition manage
ment , but also to the material and
timely aid extended by the government
and its representatives in the various
islands. A grand opportunity Is of
fered to the American people to be
come hotter informed as to the real
character , resources , and possibilities
of the islands of the Philippines , Ha
waii , Cuba and Porto Rico and the
people who inhabit them.
The village life of the natives will
be faithfully portrayed , their Indus-
one of the finest musical organizations
in the world , its concerts will bo a
rare treat for those who attend.
There will bo a number of special
days , notably the opening day July 1st
and Schley day July 3rd. The glorious
Fourth will bo celebrated in a fitting
manner and on these days many noted
naval and military men will partici
pate in the exercises.

tries thoroughly exploited , oven their
daily occupations accurately repro
duced.
In the Colonial Exhibits and other
buildings will be found comprehensive
collections which will Indicate the re
sources of the different Islands and
give an opportunity to judge of the
riches and possibilities of our new
possessions.
The government exhibit will surpass
that of last year. The Llbby Prison
War Museum , an Immense collection
of historical relics , will bo atigumcnt-
cd 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 arc superior to those of last year
and in almost every department will
bo new and interesting features.
The grounds and buildings have
been greatly Improved , thousands of
trees , plants , shrubs and flowers from
tropic and sub-tropic lands being used
In the decorations. In the Horticul
ture exhibit are palms , orange trees
and scores of trees and plants from our
Island possessions , many of which are
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 bo shown. The Grand Court will
be a fairy city when the thousands of
lights arc displayed and many of the
effects arc startling in their novelty
and wlerd beauty.
Severn ! features of the coming Ex
position have received more than us
ual attention and among these might
bo mentioned the Fine Art collection
which will be the grandest exhibit In
this line since the World's Fair ; the
Indian Congress , In which the leading
chiefs and warriors of the many tribes
will participate ; the Pain Fire Works
company , which employs over three
hundred people in Its realistic repro
ductions of Dewey's famous victory at
Manila , the Destruction of Cervera's
Squadron at Santiago , the Sinking of
the Merrlmnc and the Storming of San
Juan Hill. The famous British Gren

The Illumination of the coming Ex
position will far mirpabB anjtiling of
the kind ever before attempted. The
Omaha city lighting plant will furnish
the current for the arc lights on the
grounds and for the commercial light
ing of the Midway , and this gives
Superintendent Rubtin thousands of
additional lights for the illumination
of the Court of Honor and Bluff Tract.
The dark places of lust year's Exposi
tion have boon touched with a wiz
ard's wand of light and the effect will
bo a fulry scene , far surpassing in
beauty the splendid display of last
year.
Those who are interested in ethnol
ogy studies will not fail to visit the
Indian congress. It is not probable
that Btirh an opportunity to study the
neiuUarUlos of the North American
Indian will ever again be afforded The
tribes are scattered far and wide and
