Show fever JAY The Death Chamber, for catarrh and .u5ti Peruna lUtn recommend it to alt who I with the above diseases. (jfite able t say it has helped Urfatyr MayMf By Stephen Crane . , smith. A sergeant, a corporal and 14 men of the Twelfth regiment of the line had been rent out to occupy a house on the main highway. They would be at least a half of a mile In advance of any other picket of their own people. Sergeant Morton was deeply angry at being sent on this duty. He Said that he was overworked. There were at least two sergeants, he claimed furiously, whose turn it should have been to go on this arduous mission. He was tieated unfairly; he was abused by his superiors; why did any fool ever join the army; as for him he would get out of it as soon as possible; he was sick of it; the life of a dog. All this he said to the corporal, who listened attentively, giving grunts of respectful assent. On the way to this post, two privates took occasion to drop casually to the rear and pilfer in the orchard of a deserted plantation. When the sergeant discovered this absence, he grew black with a rage which was an accumulation of atl his irritations. "Run, you! he howled. Bring them here! Ill show them" A private ran swiftly to the rear. The remainder 3f the squad began to shout nervously t the two delinquents, whose figures they could see in the deep shade of the orchard, hurriedly picking fruit from the ground and cramming it within their shirts, next to their skins. The beseeching cries of their comrades stirred the criminals more than did the barking of the sergeant They ran to rejoin the squad, while bolding their loaded bosoms and with their mouths open with aggrieved explanations. A moment later the squad moved on toward its station. Behind the sergeants back Jones and Patterson were ilyly passing apples and pears to their friends, while the sergeant expounded eloquently to the corporal. "You see what kind of men are In the army now! Why, when I Joined the regiment It was a very different thing, I can tell you. Then, a sergeant had some authority, and if a man disobeyed orders be had a very small chance of escaping serious. But Something extremely now! Good God! If I report these men, the captain will look over a lot of beastly order sheet and say" (here 'crsom s. 89 tret SEE 10iit J W tarj,: If ttejl nen, tor J'ln eMrjti0i iskej g en r the) you ' 5 jp r &fn MM facti "ms PUbliit, k to BJ ,1 rated. reeei seems to be the cure.

He sternly commanded blm to throw it away. The men spread their blanko'.s on the floors of the bare rooms, and putting their packs under their heads and lighting their pipes, they lived In lazy peace. Bees hummed In the garden and a scent of flowers came through the open window. There was a sudden little spatter of shooting. A cry from Jones rang out. With no little intermediate scrambling, the serge? nt leaped straight to Uls feet. Now, be cried, 'let us see what you are made of! If, he added bitterly, you are made of anything." A man yelled: "Good God, can't you see youre all tangled up In my cartridge belt? Another man yelled: "Keep off. my legs! Cant you walk on the fitor? To the windows there was a blind tub of slumberous men, who brushed vlr roni their eyes even as they made ready theii rifles. Jones and Patterson came stumbling up the steps, crying dreadful information. Already the enemy's bullets were spilling and singing over the house. The sergeant suddenly was stiff and cold with a sense of the Importance of ihe thing. There was a howl. "There they are! There they come! The rifles crackled. A light smoke drifted idly through tbe rooms. There was a strong odor as from burnt paper and the powder of firecrackers. "Now, said the sergeant, ambitiously, we can beat them off easily If you men are good enough. There was a fusillade against another side of the house. The sergeant dashed into the room which commanded that situation. He found a dead soldier on the floor. "Patterson!" cried Sergeant Morton Yes, said Patterson, bis face set with some deep-rootquality of determination. Still, he was a mere farm boy. "Go In to Knowles' window and shoot at those people, said the sergeant, Afterwards he oougbed hoarsely. Some of the fumes of the fight had made w7 to bis lungs. Patterson looked at the door Intc this other room. He looked at It as If he suspected It was to be his death chamber. Then be entered and stood across the body of Knowles and fired vigorously Into a group of charming plum trees. "They cant take this house." declared the sergeant In a contemptuous and argumentative tone. He was apparently replying to somebody. A man who had been shot in the throat looked up at him. Eight men were firing from the windows. The sergeant detected in a corner three wounded men, talking together feebly. "Dont you think there is anything to do? he bawled. Go and get Knowles cartridges and give them to somebody that can use them! Take The man who tad Simpson's, too. been shot in the throat looked at him. Of the three wounded men who had been talking, one said apologetically: My leg 13 all doubled up under me. Meantime the sergeant was reload Ing his rifle.

It is used by physicians with results m&st gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the Tho indisputable evidence that it is harmless: result of three facts: SecoKf That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi-lates the food: Third It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor OIL It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Batemans Drops, Godfreys Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, Jiow ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to tho information. Hall s Journal of Health. .
