That is what some folks do whee hey try tosave cents in the purchasn f adulterated soap roude from cheap oils. They not only “ burr. the can- le” but they “‘lose the farthing ” s well, when they subject costly fav-

ies to the corrosive action of such oaps. Dollars are literally, thrown way in washing fabrics like lace,

auslin, damask, cretonnes, silks, and ambris with trashy imported soaps ade from inferior oil.

“he other’ drummer boys hated both lads on account of their illogic il con- duct. Jakin might be pounding Lew or Lew might be rubbing Jakin’s head in the dirt, but any attempt at aggres- sion on the part of an outsider was met by the combined forces of Lew and Jakin, and the consequences were pain- ful. The boys were the Ishmaels of the corps, but wealthy Ishmaels, for they sold battles in alternate weeks for the sport of the barracks when they were not pitted against other beys, and thus they amassed money

On this particular day there was dis- sension in the camp. They had just been convicted afresh of smoking. which is bad for little boys who use plug to- bacco. and Lew’s contention was that Jakin had ‘stunk so ‘orrid bad from keepin the pipe in pocket"’ that he and he alone was responsible for the birch- ing they were both tingling under

‘*I tell you I ‘id the pipe back o’ bar- ricks,’’ said Jakin pacifically

‘*You're a bloomin liar!’’ said Lew without heat

**You're a bloomin little barstard!’ aid Jakin, strong in the knowledge that his own ancestry was unknown

Now there is one word in the extend- ed vocabulary of barrack room abuse that cannot pass without comment. You may calla man a thief and risk nothing You may even call him a coward without finding more than a boot whiz past your ear, but you must not call a man a bastard unless you are prepared to prove it on his front teeth.

‘You might ha’ kep’ that till 1 wasn’t so sore,’ said Lew sorrowfully dodging round Jakin’s guard.

‘I'll make you sorer,’’ said Jakin genially and got home on Lew’s ala- baster forehead. All would have gone well, and this story, as th books say, would never have been written, had not his evil fate prompted the bazaar ser- geant’s son, a long, employless man of five and twenty, to put in an appear- ance after the first round. He was eter- nally in need of money and knew that the boys had silver.

“Fighting again,” said he ‘‘I'll re- port you to my father, and he’ll report you to the color sergeant.”’

‘“‘What's that to you?’ said Jakin with an unpleasant dilation of the nos- trils.

“Oh, nothing to me. You’ll get into trouble, and you've been up too often to afford that.”’

“What the hell do you know about what we've done?’ asked Lew the Seraph. ‘‘You aref’t in the army, you lousy, cadgin civilian.’

He close] in on the man’s left flank.

‘‘Jes’ cause you find two gentlemen eettlin their diff'rences with their fistes you stick in your ugly nose where you aren't wanted) Run ‘ome to your ‘arf caste slut of a ma—or we'll give yor what for,"’ said Jakin

The man attempted reprisals by knocking the boys’ heads together The scheme would have succeeded had net Jakin punched him vehemently in the stomach. or had Lew refrained from kicking his shins. They fought togeth er. bleeding and breathless, for half an hour. and, after heavy punishment. triumphantly pulled down their oppo- nent as terriers pull down a jackal.

“Now. gasped Jakin, ‘‘I'll you what for He proceeded to pound the mun’s features while Lew stamped on the ontlvirz portions of his anatomy

There is a music of health. The instru- ments of that music are men / and women. Men and wo- men who are healthy will be happy. Their lives will be \ anthems aa health.

There are os vl thousands of ae SIS: women all over this land who are beautiful, who are witty, who are attractive, who are endowed with every charm but one, and

that is the charm that robust health alone can give. A woman may possess every

charm and grace that nature and education can bestow, but if she suffers from. neg- lected weakness and disease of the dis tinctly feminine organism, she cannot by any possibility disguise it. It will take the glow of health from her cheek, the flash of wit from her eye, the charm of amiability from her manner and the grace and spring of health from her carriage. No woman need suffer in this way. Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription acts directly and only on the delicate and important organs concerned and makes them strong, healthy and vigor- ous. It allays inflammation, heals ulcera- tion, soothes pain and gives rest to the tortured nerves. It banishes all debilitat- ing drains. It is the best tonic for nursing mothers. Thousands of thankful women have, without solicitation, testified over their own signatures to the marvelous mer- its of this medicine. Dr. Pierce, who discov- ered this wonderful medicine, will cheer- fully answer, without charge, the letters of ailing women. Address, Dr. R. V.Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y. The ‘‘ Favorite Prescription” is for sale by all good medicine dealers, and only an unscrupulous dealer will try to induce a customer to take some worthless remedy, alleged to be “just as good.”

“ This is to tell you,” writes Sister Eliza L. de Falcon, of Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Texas, “that I had been ill for twenty-one years and was finally cured by your medicines, the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and the ‘Favorite Pre- scription.’ ’’

appeared to answer the charge of half murdering a ‘‘civilian."’ The bazaar sergeant thirsted for a criminal action, and his son lied. The boys stood to at- tention while the black clouds of evi- dence accumulated.

‘You little devils are more trouble than the rest of the regiment put to- gether, said thecclonelangrily ‘‘One might as well admonisk thistle down. and I can't well put you in cells or un

der stoppages. You must be floggec again.’’

**‘Beg your pardon, sir. Can't we say nothin in our own defense, sir?’’ shrill- ed Jakin.

‘‘Hey! What? Are you going to aigue with me?’’ said the colonel.

**No, sir,’’ said Lew. ‘‘But if a man come to you, sir, an said he was goin to report ‘you, sir, for ‘avin a bit of a

The orderly room exploded in 4 roar of laughter. ‘‘Well?’’ said the colonel.

‘*That was what that measly jarnwar there did, sir, an ’e’d’a’ done it, sir, if we ’adn’t prevented ‘im. We didn't ‘it ’im much, sir. ’E ’adn’t no manner o’ right to interfere with us, sir. I don’t mind bein flogged by the drum major, sir, nor yet reported by any corp’ral, but I’m—but I don’t think it’s fair, sir, for a civilian to come an talk over a man in the army.’”’

A second shout of laughter shock the orderly room, but the colonel was grave.

‘‘What sort of characters have these boys?’’ he asked of the regimental ser- geant major.

*“*Accordin to the bandmastcr, sir,’ returned that revered official—the onty soul in the regiment whom the boys feared—‘‘they do everytking but lie. siz,’

‘‘Is it like we'd go for that man for

fun, sir?’’ said Lew. pointing to the plaintiff Oh. admonished—admonished!'

Then he renented of his speecn for just the length of time that Lew, look ing like a seraph in red worsted embe! lishments. took the place of one of the trumpets—in hospital—and rendered the echo of a battle piece. Léw certain- ly was a musician and had often in his more exalted moments expressed a yearning to master every instrument of the band

“There’s nothing to prevent your be- coming a bandmaster, Lew,”’ said the bandmaster, who had compesed waltzes of his own and worked day and night in the interests of the band.

‘*What did he say ?’’ demanded Jakin after practice.

“Said | might bea bloomin band- master an be asked in to ‘ave a glass o sherry wine on mess nights.”

‘‘Ho! Said you might be a bloomin noncombatant, did ‘e? That's just about wet’e would say. When I’ve put in my boy’s service—it’s a bloomin shame that don't count for pension— lil take on a privit. Then I'll bea lance ina year—knowin what I know about the ins an outs 9’ things. In three years [’ll be a bloomin sergeant. j won't marry then, not L_ I'll ‘old on an learn the orf'cers’ ways an apply for exchange into a reg’ment that doesn't know all about me. Then I'll be a bloomin orf’cer Then I'll ask you to ave a glass o’ sherry wine, Mr. Lew, an you'll blcomin well ‘ave to stay in the hanty room while the mess sergeant brings it to your dirty ‘ands.”’

““S’pose I'm goin to be a bandmas- ter? Not I, quite. I'll be a orf’cer too here's nothin like takin to a thing an stickin to it, the schoolmaster says. The reg’ment don’t go ome for another seven years. I'll be a lance then or near tc.’

Thus the boys discussed their fatures and conducted themzelves with exem- plary piety for a week. That is to say, Lew started a flirtation with the color sergeant’s daughter, aged 18—‘“‘not,’ as he explained to Jakin, **with any in- tention o' matrimony, but by way o keepin my ‘and in.’’ And the black haired Cris Delighan enjoyed that flirta- tion more than previous ones, and the other drummer boys raged furiously to- gether, and Jakin preached sermons on the dangers of ‘‘bein tangled along 0’ petticoats. ”’

But neither love nor virtue would have held Lew long in the paths of pro- priety had not the rumor gone abroad that the regiment was to be sent on ac- tive service totake part ina war which for the sake of brevity we will call ‘‘the war of the lost tribes.”

The barracks had the rumor almost before the meesroom, and of all the 900 men in barracks not 10 had seen a shot fired in anger. The colonel had 20 years ago assisted at a frontier expedition, one of the majors had seen service at the Cape, a confirmed deserter in E company had helved to clear streets in

Ireland, but that was all The regi- ment had been put by for many years. The overwhelming mass of its rank and file had from three to four years’ serv- ice, the noncommissioned officers were under 30 years old, and men and ser- geants alike had forgotten to speak of the stories written in brief upon the colors—the new colors that had been formally blessed by an archbishop in England ere the regiment came away. They wanted to go to the front—they were enthusiastically anxious to go— but they had no knowledge of what war meant, and there was none to tell them. Wherefore they cheered lustily when the rumor raa, and the shrewd, clerkly noncommissioned offjcers speculated on the chances of batta and of saving their pay At headquarters men said: ‘*The Fore and Fit have never been under fire within the last generation. Let us, therefore, break them in easily by set- ting them to guard lines of communica- And this would have been done

cutting up of stragglers to make a reg)- ment smart in the field. Wait till they’ve had half a dozen sentries’ throats cut.’

The colonel wrote with delight that the temper of his men was excellent, that the regiment was all that could be wished and as sound as a bell. The majors smiled with sober joy, and the subalterns waltzed in pairs down the messroom after dinner and nearly shot themselves at revolver practice. But there was consternation in the hearts of Jakin and Lew. What was to ve done with the drums? Would the band go to the front? How many of the drums would accompany the vegiment?

They took counsel together, sitting in a tree and smoking.

“It’s more than a bloomin toss up they'll leave us be’ind at the depot with the women. You'll like that,’’ said Jakin sarcastically.
