without deserting cr buying their dis- sharges. There was an extras

of this sert ct

| ing stations in 1891. Ina large batch of | Fecruite that arrived one morning at the station was a well ecucated, clipper built young chap from Cincinnati. He was in appearance and manner so far and away ahead of the other fellows in the batch that he caught the eyes of the company cap- tains at once, and each of the: wanted to get the promising locking recruit into his company. The captain of the company to which the recruit was assigned called the young fellow into his orderly reom at once and made a good deal of him.

On the same afternoon this recruit from Cincinnati was reported missing from his company roll call. The captain instructed the first sergeant to institute a search for the man. Several men were detailed for the work of hurting him up, and they searched the whole post high and low without finding him. Then the guard was notified of the recruit’s absence, and the sergeant of the guard was directed to find him and put him under arrest. A corporaiand several sentries prow!led about the garrison for an hour without discover- ing a sign of the missing recruit. While the corporal and sentries were still out on their vain search the bell of the guard- house telephone rang furiously. The tele- phone communicated with the command- ing officer's quarters alone, and the com- manding officer was at his end in force.

“Ie that you, sergeant of the guard?’’ he inquired. “Well, come over here instantly with about 20 files of the gnard and have ‘em load their guns with ball. There's a d—d raving lunatic of a recruit taken por- session of my quarters. Come ina hurry.”’

The commanding officer explained after- ward what had happexed. On returning from bis office to his quarters he was sur- prised on approaching the house te hear piano music, and remarkably fine plano music at that, issuing from his parlor. All of the members of his fam!ty, includ- ing his daughters, were away on a visit to another post, and he knew that his middle aged servant was always vielting her cro- nies on ‘‘Soepsuds row’’ at that hour of the afternoon. Moreover, none of his daughters, and certainly not the servant, sould produce such music. So he did not know what to make of it. He walked up the steps and through the wide open door- way ina hurry, the music still continu- ing. When he entered the parlour, he sav a good looking soldier seated at the piano, piaying a Chopin nocturne with great feel- ing.

“That the dev’’— the commanding suicer started to exclaim.

THE WHEELS OF HEALTH.

There is no better exercise for a young woman in thoroughly good health than bicycling. On the contrary, if she suffers from weakness or disease of the distinctly feminine organs, if she rides, at all, such exercise should be very sparingly indulged in. Women are peculiarly constituted and their general health is peculiarly dependent upon the health of the specially feminine organism.

tis the health of these delicate and im- portant parts that “‘makes the wheels of general health goround.’’ Their strength ead vigor are as important toa woman asa Mainspring to a watch, or a sprocket and chain to a bicycle. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for delicate women. It makes them strong where they most need strength. Taken during the ‘‘interesting interval,” it ban- ishes the usual squeamishness and makes baby’s admission to the world easy and al- most painless. It fits a woman for in-door work and out-door sports. Honest druggists don’t advise substitutes.

Favorite Prescription, as it has undoubtedly saved my life,’’ writes Mrs. Florence Hunter, of Corle Logan Co., Ark. ‘‘I miscarried four times; could get no medicine to do me any good. I tried the *Fave@ite Prescription’ and after taking several bottles. I made my husband a present of a fine girl. I think it is the best medicine in the world.”

A man or woman who neglects constipa- tion suffers from slow poisoning. Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipa- tion. One little ‘‘Pellet’’ is a gentle laxa-

He won the bet, with three days to spare.—New York Sun.
