RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION The increased use of whiskey for rheumatism is causing considerable discussion among the medical frater nity. It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingre dients and taken properly. The fol lowing formula is effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharma ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as the other ingredients can be had from any good druggist. Liberty. Liberty is a thing so rare, so pre cious, so limited, whatever plans we make, that there never can be quite enough of it—let alone the "too much" that timorous souls are always dreading. How's This?

It was the murk from' a far-off jun gle fire that hung, a half-choking haze, between land and sky, but the sun pierced through from brazen heaven overhead and beat down with Relentless rays till heat waves danced from the parched and dusty earth. The three men in the dried-out wa fer hole had few words for each other. There was nothing to say un til some of them should evolve a plan for safety. And what plan could there be? Less than 100 yards out In front was the bamboo clump and with in it was a Filipino sharpshooter and a wary one. Over and over had each of the three held aloft his service hat on the point of his cleaning rod, but the enly Are it drew was a chuck ling, mocking laugh. It would not work. The little brown disciple of Aguinaldo held cartridges precious. It had sounded like an old Springfield when he shot the corporal—probably that was what it was. If so, then he had but one cartridge in his gun. He could be shot, or there might be time to escape before he could reload after that was fired. But that one cartridge was one death. Whose should it be? There was but one solution, and as each of the three eliminated all other possible chances, that one remained in his mind. And each of the three knew that the other knew. So, when Adams passed around his canteen with an indication that they should drink each a third of the little water that remained, they knew he was about to propose the one plan possible. He waited until the canteen lay empty by his side, and then he whispered: "It's got to be one of us. It's prob ably a sure thing, for he won't miss at that range. But the man that does it can get up shootin', and maybe It'll startle him. And the other two can jump up and shoot the minute his gun cracks. Shall we draw straws?" There was no reply. The others looked at each other searchingly. Then they looked down again. Adams went on, his voice hard: "If either of you fellows has got a wife and kids back home, that makes it different." Again he stopped and waited. Then Welch spoke: "Jim Carney here's got a girl back in Boston. She's promised to wait for him." "Stow your gab," roughly. "I'm here chances." "That's said Carney, to take my white talk," said Adams, with just a tinge of admiration. "I've got a girl back there, too. But that ain't like bein' married, with kids. When it's just a girl back home it's different." "How're we going to choose?" asked Carney, impatiently. Adams reached up to the edge of the water hole and carefully de tached a long, dry blade of file grass. This he began to break into pieces of different lengths. A droning fly buzzed before his face and he slapped at it impatiently. He watched it as it rose, slowly circling, and then he dropped the straws. "Let's leave it to that cussed fly," he said. "It's been fussin' around here ever since we Blid into this hole. The man it lights on first." He looked at the others. Carney nodded his head. Welch watched the fly with a gathering frown and made no reply. "Let's all lie still and see who he picks out," said Carney. "We can't waste time." The men lay on their backs, their aching eyes following every movement of the fly. For the moment it rest ed on a swinging blade of grass, its head straight up to the sun and its forelegs contemplatively rubbing their tips together. The soldier Welch sat up, pulled his haversack forward from his hip,, rummaged in it with his hand, apparently found what he was seek ing, and, lying down again, put bis hand to his mouth. The others watched him with suspicious interest. "Well, you are a queer one," said Adams, 'eating at a time like this." Welch said nothing, and the three resumed their vigilance of the fly. It rose, a black speck in the air, darted in parabolic curves back and forth, then slowly began to spiral down ward. The test was at hand. The men lay alongside with practically facing distance between them. Welch was in the center. The fly de scended deliberately, swung back and forth and seemed to still its flight just over the face of Carney. In breathless silence the faint chord of its wings was distinctly audible. Un controllably, the soldier's face twitched. The fly darted away. The others looked on without comment, while a flush spread over the man's neck and up to his ears. Then the Insect returned and leis urely hummed back and forth and then In a swinging circle above the hand that Adams had stretched out upon the ground. It settled within an inch and the man flinched. The fly mounted upward again. Again it came back. Flies have no long flight, and already it was weary. This time it would seek a resting place. Its tired wings grew slower In their vibration and the noise of their buzzing deeper and more distinct. It circled twice above the dusty shoes of Adams, and this time he did not nfove. He looked on with bis fea tures drawn in agony and hip teeth sinking Into his lip. Then the fly rose v- 4wA" wAwiMgv^Jtjtgi -g $ three or four feet hi the air, circled •lowly end descended like a ballot upon the face of Welch. It alightet on his chin and crawled toward his mouth. For a long minute the other men looked on In silence. The fly stopped at the man's lip and began to feed, Carney suddenly swept hie hand above it and the Insect darted off. Both Carney and. Adams rose to sitting poo* tures and looked inquiringly at thelf prostrate comrade. Another minute and glance shot between them. Carney shifted uneasily and whispered: "Well, Welch, old man?" Still the man did not move. Hie eyeB were closed and a sort of smile hovered about his Hps. Adama seized his arm and shook him. The arm dropped limply back into place. "Well, by God!" exclaimed Carney, and then, placing a finger on the man's eyelid, he roughly pushed It baek. Only the white of the eye showed. "Well, by God!" he mutteredagaln^ and reached for Welch's wrist He held it for a little time between his thumb and forefinger, while Adams looked on with a puzzled stare. Car ney dropped the wrist and bent his ear to the man's nostrils. Then he drew back, settled himself in his sit ting posture and turned to Adams,' from whom a question burst: "Fainted?" Carney shook his head. "Dead scared to death—well, by God!" For fully1 five minutes the men were silent. Then Adams spoke dully: "He took his chance with us, and it fell to him. He faded out without makin' good. But we can make him do itJ We can hold him up and let him get shot. Then we can get that sneak* ing little devil that shot the cor poral." Carney sat up. "Right you are Ii was a fool not to think of it, but It knocked me all in a heap to think of Welch turning yellow. It's Just! what he's good for now. I will holdj him up and you can be ready for the little devil." He seized the body, and, hugging It about the hips, strove to raise it sol that the head would show above the' water hole. But it was still limp it would not hold erect. With a mut tered oath, Carney seized the dead He Hoisted the Corpse Erect and Upward. man's rifle and jammed it down the back of the dead man's blouse. The device served, and, holding by the hips, and keeping his own head well bent down, he hoisted the corpse erect and upward. There was a moment of agonizing suspense, and then rang out the booming roar of a Springfield. The sound was hardly complete before Adams leaped up and began pumping his Krag at a patch of powder smoke in the bamboo. At the third shot there was a yell and a crashing of branches. Carney sat weakly down and propped up the body of his friend. There was a yawning hole in the dead man's forehead where the snub-nosed Springfield bullet had crashed through, and a tiny stream of blood trickled away from it He turned to a closer examination of the body of Welch. "Hell of a hole that old Springfield makes," he muttered. He untied the handkerchief from about his neck and started to wipe away the blood. Then he saw something that made him stay his hand. He looked closely at the dead man's face and then sprang to his feet and swore aloud. For about the lips of his friend, and spread over the lower half of his face were—what do you think? GralnB of commissary brown sugar! Just before taps that night Carney stood within .the flap of the major's tent and saluted. He averred urgent business. The major looked up wearily from his writing and listened. Carney, with more strength of lan guage than usual to the major's ears, begged that a recommendation would be made for a medal of honor for the dead man, to be sent to his relatives, as 1b customary when a soldier has died as a hero. "I thought he had' turned "yellow," said the ccldler, "and, God forgiye me, I held up his bedy and let tbjrt lltUe hellion shoot a bole in his heg^L And then I found that he had flxfrt it all up. He'd baited himself with sugari out of his haversack, and that d—d fly lit on blm just as he ured It would. Physically, sir, It was more than he oould standi! and the heart failure killed him." "Ton are right, Carney," said the major, musingly, when he had heard, the whole story. "It Is the moral h* roes that are the greatest of all. I will make the recommendation for the medal of honor." «f (.^MSWAfVl BY ELECTRIC gsy*« 'iRWWJf^R^iSJS:^^ NK^-Sfeisei K/^SfeA?. 5 ,VV «»v* j.r*. AVfrWi-' V?V POWER TRAINS ARC TO RE HAULED OVER MOUNTAIN RANGE8. W Water Courses Will Furnish Elec tricity for the Purpose—Means Im mense 8avlng In Expenee of Running the Roads. It will not be long before all the trains on the great Harriman system of railroads will be hauled over three mountain ranges by electrical power. The fact was disclosed by Mr. Har riman that he had had expert engin eers in the mountains for more than a vear, surveying the water courses and the sources of supply for water power With a view to impounding it for the production of electricity. It is his purpose to electrify, as soon as possi ble, the mountain division of the Union Pacific road, which runs over the Rockies, the mountain division of the Southern Pacific, which runs over the Sierras, and the new mountain division of the Shasta route, which vill run, like the present route, over tiie Siskiyou mountains. It is understood that the engineers reported favorably to the project. Along the line of each road through the mountains are reported to be a large number of streams capable of developing sufficient water power to run nearly everything on tie map. It is planned to use this power in a similar manner as the water power of the Niagara river is used to generate electricity at the falls. The natural fall in the mountain streams could be utilized to turn great turbines, which would be used in gen erating the electricity needed to op erate the trains over the mountains. The cheapness of this installation, compared with the results that could be obtained, has, it is said, amazed Mr. Harriman. The estimated cost of the improve ment is kept secret, but it is under stood to be over $40,000,000. Careful estimates have been made of the sav« ing which would be occasioned by the use of electricity in the mountain divi sions. No information regarding this is at hand, but it is said to be a material saving—much greater than a large per cent, on the cost of the improve ment. Beyond all this, however, is the fact that electrical power, unlike steam power, is capable of large mul tiplication in mountain railroading. Its substitution would mean, for one thing, that the capacity of the moun tain lines would be more than doubled. It now takes two and three locomo tives to get short trains over some of the grades, whereas a single electrical motor would be capable of hauling a train much longer than the trains which now use two engines. The mountain division of a railroad operates somewhat like the neck of a bottle. It is impossible to get more trains or more tonnage over the road than can be gotten over the moun tains or through the neck of this rail road bottle. Accordingly, when the capacity of the neck is increased the possibilities of the entire road for handling traffic are correspondingly increased. It is for this reason that mountain divisions are so dreaded by railroad operating men. Portable Blacksmith Shop. A portable blacksmith shop has been found very convenient and eco nomical in the maintenance of way de partment of the Missouri Pacific rail way. It consists of two box cars, one for sleeping accommodations of the blacksmith and his helper, and the other for his shop. All necessary tools and duplicate parts are carried for repairing switches, frogs, hand cars, switch stands and similar rail road appurtenances. Frogs are taken from the track, repaired and replaced where traffic is light, by protecting the point by flags, and where traffic is heavy a duplicate frog is put in. The portable shop saves shipping the tools and equipment needing repairs, thus reducing cost and avoiding delay. It has been found that one day is suf ficient for cleaning up the repairs on an ordinary section.—Railroad Gazette. A Chapel Car. Utica recently had a visit from a novel railroad coach—the chapel car St. Anthony of the Catholic Church Extension society, says the New York Tribune. The greater part of the coach is devoted to a chapel in which about 100 can be seated. The chapel has an altar and candlesticks, which are securely fastened so as not to be shaken by the running of the train. In the rear of the chapel is a library with literature for distribution, and two rooms equipped with upper and lower berths for the two chaplains. Beyond these rooms is a lavatory, the office of the secretary and a kitchen equipped with a range and the neces sary utensils. The regular staff con sists of the secretary, two chaplains and a porter who prepares the meals. Smallest Railroad Chartered. Gov. Stuart of Pennsylvania has ap proved the application for a charter for the Carrick & Baldwin Street Railway Company, a line which is the smallest to be chartered this year. It is, to be just 35-100 of a mile In length. The capital Is $6,000, with these officers: F. K. Martin, Pitts burg president, J. C. Bily, F. K. Mar tin, J. G. Evans, 8. T. Tone and W. B.
