sobriety was not of the host. Jones
had rather looked down upon hlin. mid
Templeton, no doubt, had found some
reason for looking down upon Joueu.
(II SIT THEBB ALL NI0BT.
It's n privilege never denied a freeboni
American. riowOTer. they became
friends In Manila because It was so far
from home.
"Templeton was a lorgennt of volun
teers nnd a homesick soldier if ever
there was one. He excited Jones' sym
pathy, which became acute when
Jones learned that there wns a girl nt
home who had stopped writing to Tem
ploton for an unknown reason. This
la a serious mntter when n fellow real
ly cares for the girl and she Is lO.noo
miles away mid there's no method of
learning why she no longer writes.
Fancy waiting for a letter to go half
way around the world and for the re
ply to come loitering buck or not to
come nt nil! Templeton was not nat
urally sensitive, but the experience
had made him so. He told his secret
grudgingly because it was forced out
of hlin. but he never revealed the name
of the .drl.
"in too li, to.- part of January Tem
pletou's company was sent up Into the
Interior to n ilttb forsaken vllluge
where tho-e wio n peck nf trouble. A
mail steamer ennie in the day before
the detachment marched, but It
brought no b Iter to Templeton. The
poor fellow rcealiil this misfortune to !
Jones with tears In his eyes, llcseemed I
to think that this was his last chance.
"A few days Liter Jones learned en
tirely by accident that a letter for I
Templeton bud really coi.ie mi the
tea r and bi'.d been delivered by
mistake to a surgeon of the same sur
name. The nddri si-o.I side of the letter
h:.d hcoii wei. nnd the Ink was a mere
blot, so thai the word Templeton was
bout all that could be deciphered.
The surgeon, however, detected the
given name of 'tieorgu' and did not
open the letter.
".bines b:,d had it in his i.ilnd to try
to get through to this place where the
trouble was. lie thought lie saw a good
story In It. He told the surgeon of his
Intention and was permitted to take
the letter. By pulling nil kinds of
wires he jriit leave to Join a small par
ty that was going up with dispatches,
sud the result was that he had nil von
tures i notiuli to till a hook. The party
got through nllve. but every man of
them was wounded, including Jones,
who made tin' last forty miles of the
Journey practically on one leg. But
Templeton' letter -which he was
morally convinced was the letter -re-l.os.-.i

told Jones that It was practically nil

Will he be conscious again? asked
Jones. And the surgeon said that It
was possible.
""When is It likely to happen?"
"'Heaven knows.' answered the sur
geon. " 'I'll wait,' said Jones. And be sat
down on the foot of tho bed. His
wound was dressed and he vyis fed
while he sat there. Of course they
tried to take him away, but he wouldn't

he was presently forgotten,

for burning kerosene was offered at

recently. The lump was to cost only

were sensiblo nnd salutary. Since
one of the moit serious problems in

in view was to find a lamp which, if

. The subject of this sketch was
)or." "I l'"u'Pl county, noai where
: he lived until his death, Oct., 10O2
at t He ripe Hire ot 71 years.
He was at one time an active mem
ber of the N. I!. Conference, Metho
dist Protestant Church. We ure not
informed as to his educational a.lvan
kigvs. He seemed to bo a man of
strong natural ability and of won
derftil power to retain impressious
made upon his mind. We have not
the date at which he professed relig
ion nor the time he joined thechurch
but have been told (hat ubotit hie
eighth year he made a profession and
united with the society at New Union
of which he wits a member at the
time of his death
He was received into the K. ('.
Annual Conference in lrS'JD. He
traveled for a number of years but
luul not traveled anv for about lif-
teen veins previous to his death.
Out' personal acquaintance coin
inenced something over one veur ago.
and from that time until his deatb
was mute intimate.
We first met him at Flag Springs,
N'hl., l!Hl, in a revival meeting. He
sang, rejoiced, prayed and talked
with old time power. At this meet
ing he would sav often that doubt
less he would never be with us again
in a meeting at King Springs, winch
was the case, for his health was
impaired lust year, at the time of the
meeting, that he could not attend.
Hro. Lewallen was three times
married. Of the first union, there
were six children, live of whom sur
vive him. Of the second union there
were no children. Of the lliinl, und
surviving w ife, there were four, one
having preceded him to the good
world
lie seemed to have a keen sense of
kindness shown him. In his lasi
days he often spoke of the kind words
ami acts of Ins friends. He love
much to meet the ministers of the
conference and talk with them
Often did he speak of tho visits of
Or. rcrree, Hunch inul hitaker
during his last illness. He wns es
pecially fond of singing and when
he was too weak to be distinctly un
derstood he would sing and rejoice
pointing with his hand toward hi
future home. He told his wife and
children that he was going hoiu
and asked them to meet him the)
He was a man who opposed any
thing he did mil like to finish, and
such a man will have some enemies
In his hist days he often .-aid he
did not hold anything against any
one. He said he knew that his work
was done and soon he would be at
rest.
Pardon nie for this expression of
m v own opinion. 1 don t think
have ever seen a man come down to
death with more triumphant faith
than Jiro. J.ewallen, anil I urn
peeling to meet him on the streets of
tne Aew Jerusalem,
His funeral was preached by liro,

The Diplomatic Woman.
To her man is simply an open
hook, and she plays upon his weak
nesses us iitioti a harp with n thous
and strings. With her re-nmrriage
is merely a matter of selection. She
decides upon a man, and he has no
more chance of csciuie than the
mouse in the claws of a cat. Ap
parently she hangs upon his words.
She applauds his sentiments. She
laughs at his jokes. If he admires
domesticity she lives w ith a cook
book in Her nana. It he is pious,
she dotes on church work. If he is
sporty she memorizes the race card
and recites it for his benefit, but al
ways and at all times she keeps the
incense burning. That kind of a
woman can purr over any man until
all he wants is to curl up and lie on
her hearth rng and let her put her

How a Truthful Paper Would Read
It is said that an editor recently
announced that for just one issne he
would tell the whole truth, naked
and unvarnished.
Here is one item from that issue:
"Married Miss Sylvia Smith to
Mr. James Carnahan, last Satnrday,
at the Haptist parsonage. The bride
is a very ordinary girl about towt
who uoesn i know any more man i
rabbit about cooking, and never help
ed her poor mother three days in her
life. She is not a beauty, by a long
shot, and Has a gait like a tat duck.
The groom is known as an up-to-date
loafer and has been living off his
mother all bis life, and don t amount
to anything nohow. They will have
a tough time of it, and we withold
congratulations, for we don't believe
any good can come from such a mar
riage."

J. B. BELShTK, St Louis. M
Sick stock or poultry should not
eat cheap stock food any more than
sick persons should exiiect to be
cjred by food. When your stock
anil poultry are sick give tlieui med
icine. Jion't stuff them with worth
less stock foods. I'nlond the bowels
and stir up the torpid liver and the
animal w-ill be cured, if it lie possi
ble to cure it. Mack-Draught Stock
and Poultry Medicine unloads the
bowels and stirs up the torpid liver.
It cures every malady of stork if
taken in time. Secure a lio-cent can
of lllack-Hrauplit Stock and Poultry
Medicine Bud it will pay for itself ten
timcsover. Horses work heller. Cows
give more milk. Hogs gain fftwli.
And liens lay more eggs. It solves the
problem of making as much blood,
