share-being-valued at 825,000. Only
one of tho members has1 visited the
clubhouse during lato years. The
head of tho club is a New York rail
road man, and . the .others are mil
lionaires soveral times over. The
clubhouso is situated on an oyster
shell island, supposed to have been
built up by Indians. It is a place
where antiquarians would find some-'
thing rich to study. . !
This club is probably the most ex

shares are not for sale. It is called

who wishes seclusion finds it on the
island among the big trees, whose

of young folk at an evening party.
The guest of honor was a young

Uegnla' . Army Soldiers Do It Sometimes
to Keep' Out of Prison. , ! -
Hungry indeed must be the man
xvho will eat soap, yet it is a fact
that soap eating is "common among
the "rrcn'lar- army soiaiers stauonea
at Governors . island and Forts
Wailswortli and Hamilton. The same
peculiar habit is said to bo prevalent
among the boys in blue in Uncle
Sam's service" at other army posts
in the United States. The soap these
warriors eat is hot tho delicately
canted, nerf timed kind, but 'the
rankest,! strongest, cheapest and
perhaps -'tho worst) soap made. It
costs tho government about a cent
a bar. ....; .' . .
. Soap eating has been a feature of
army life for so long that tho oldest
veteran cannot recall tho time when
it was not the practice on certain oc
casions to eat soap. It . is said to
have been a common habit with tho
soldiers in tho British army during
the American Revolution. The sol
diers eat the soap not from choice,
but for a reason no one would guess.
It is not a pleasant thing to say,
but it is true, nevertheless, that the
regular army of tho Onitea States
contains an element that the officers
in command-hnu at times most dilxi
cult to control. In Castle William
on Governors "-island ara built some
of the darkest and most dismal dun

confined in one of them is so far re

offenders are rqostly of the lowest
class. All of them dread the punish

ingenuity is exorcised in devising
excuses that will stay the hand of
discipline.
"New" soldiers who haven't been
initiated often pretend to be ill. This
never works. Keen post physicians
soon discover thd deception. The
old veterans in the business, men
v;lio have records of 15 -and 20 day
drunks and have time and: again
told their superiors to go to Jericho
cr some other place, follow the
never failing system of soap eating.
The scheme is to take a . piece
of soap--ordinary washing soap is
used at ill the pots-ut off a piece
about a i large as a quarter and
twice as thick,. chew it up and wash
it down with water. It takes but a
few ino:nents for the vile stuff to

drenching at the stomach, a deadly

The Two lie 11 Signal For Starting:. ',
An explanation of the practice of
ringing two bells to start a street
car was mado by an bid street car
i -
man, and, if not trustworthy, it is
ingenuous. Ho declarec that when
horse cars wero first used hero one
bell wasused to start the car and
one boll tostop it. Tho horses soon
broke down They foundered at the
knees, or thei shoulders gave "way.
Every device th,at could bo thought
of was to ease up(the: strain of star
insr. Sniral snrins were put onll
the traces, but ncgood resulted.
Finally a countrymanwho baa' been
employed a week as J aXdriver sug
gested that two bells ibe used to start
the car, and he averred that when
the horses got used tb it they would
set themselves at the first ring and
be xeady to pull at the second. The
plan was tried and was so success
ful that it has been in use ever since.

I wish to inform my friends and patrons
that I have changed my place of business to
the new store on the "Best Corner" across the
street from my old stand. Since moving I
have added very largely to my stock of goods
and am better prepared in every way to wait
on the trade.
The man with a
weight on his leg
can't hope to win in
the- race. A man
with a weight on his
health can't expect
to compete in life
and business with
those who are not
handicapped. A
man who. spends
two-thirds of his
time in business, and
one-third of his time
being sick, cannot
be expected to ac-
two-thirds as much
as the man who at
tends to business alb
the time. ; If his
brain is heavy,' and
his blood sluggish,
because of constipa
tion, he will not suc
ceed : in doing; any
thing very well.
Constipation is the
Cause of nine-tenths of all
sickness.. It isn't considered
sickness by most people, but
it is just the same. It is
serious sickness, because it
causes almost all of the ill
health of mankind. : Symp
toms of it are sallowness,
listlessness, poor appetite,
bad taste in the mouth, dit-
'ziness, biliousness, and las
situde. Constipation can be cured easily
and certainly by the, use of Dn Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are perfectly sim
ple perfectly safe. They are not at all
violent in their action, and yet they are
more certain than , many medicines which
are so strong that they put the system
all out of order. ' The great advantage of
the "Pleasant Pellets" is that they cure
permanently.; You. don't have to keep on'
taking them. You don't acquire a "pellet
habit." Take them regularly for a while,
and you, are cured permanently. After
that, take them only when you find your
self suffering from indigestion. There are
many medicines offered for the same pur
pose on which druggists make a bigger
profit. For this reason, some druggists
would rather sell the other things. If your
own health is of more importance to you
than the druggist's prosperity, you will in
sist on having what you ask for.
