San Francisco, Sept.—-August Chamot, the “hero of the Boxer up- rising,’’ wearing the decoration of the French Legion of Honor, a medal from the late Pope Leo XIIL, and with testimonials to his bravery from a half dozen nations, is dying in pov- erty at his home in Darkspur, a San Francisco suburb, after making vain appeals for aid for his wife, who was Miss Betsy Dollar, of New York, his nurse, whom he secretly married last Thursday. Chamot is the man who risked his life when the Boxers were besieging Pekin in 1897 to obtain provisions for the 4200 foreigners and Christians in the besieged city. He obtained sup- plies enough to last 78 days, and the whole world rang with applause for his deed. Tuesday, turned down by those who then lavished gifts upon him, Chamot sent the following message to his friends in his native country: ‘Tam dying. Will you pay my funeral expenses?”’ The marriage of Chamot and Miss Dollar, who has nursed him during the three years of his illness—an ill- ness that must soon end in death, re- vealed a romance with both a somber and heroic side. Chamot believes wife when he is gone, for he is still hopeful that the public will remem- | ber his heroism of a dozen years and come to the aid of himself and wife. Chamot was once wealthy, but he | had only 15 cents when he married. Eat More Apples. Farmers and others who have a good apple orchard handy will be in- terested in what ‘“Naturopath’’ has to | say about their value for medicinal purposes: ‘Apple eating, especially before retiring, is very beneficial to| health. Apples are very nutritious, for they contain more phosphoric acid than any other fruit or vegetable. If eaten before retiring, the brain and liver will be benefitted; undisturbed | ‘sleep is produced; the odor of the | | mouth is disinfected; the superfluous acids of the stomach are restrained; hemorrhoidal disturbances are para- \lyzed; secretions of the kidneys are accelerated, and the formation of stone prevented. The eating of ap- ples is also an excellent preventive of indigestion, and of certain forms of | throat troubles. . | This stray verse emphasizes th suggestion: | Apple a day, keeps the doctor away; Apple at night, starve him outright; Apple each meal and one for sleep— Kill him and shroud him and bury him deep! that his name may be of¥alue to his, © —From the Southern Churchman. ee 3 for 25c.

It makes me laugh to | think of the giant's handkerchiefs. That's one think we didn’t think of when he first came to us and we | bought him a lot of handkerchiefs of the usual men’s size. “What's this? says the giant the first time he ever tried to carry one | of them, “You see, it was so small in propor tion that it dropped down into the bot- tom of his pocket and he had to reach in deep and fish around for it, and it wasn't much use to him either, and of course we saw right away that those handkerchiefs wouldn't do, and so we had some made for him about three times the usual size, and those he said | would do, though he always wished we'd had ‘em made a little bigger, and then one winter when the show was laid up in winter quarters a queer thing happened. “The laundress we had for washing at the headquarters house was a nice old lady, but a little testy, and what with the work for the giant and all it used to keep her pretty busy, and one day when he went to his bureau the giant found he had no handkerchiefs, and as he was no piker and kicker he didn't go growling to old lady Mary— that was the launldress—but he did go to the old man and say to him Pleasantly that he seemed to be out of handkerchiefs, ““All right,’ says the old man, ‘T'll | see Mary about it,’ and he did, and Mary didn't say anything back to the old man, but she says to herself, ‘I'll fix the giant all right. I'll give him some handkerchiefs right now.’ “We'd just got in a bunch of sup- plies of one sort and another for house use and in this bunch there was a lot of new sheets, and what Mary does was to go to the storeroom and get half a dozen of these sheets and then she gets the stepladder—she al- ways had to use a_stepladder to get up to his bureau drawer—and in the corner of this drawer, where the glant kept his handkerchiefs, she laid in those nicely folded new sheets. The next morning when the giant went for a handkerchief that’s what he found in the handkerchief corner of his top bureau drawer, and when he had got one of them and shaken it out he smiled. And then he tucked it in his outside breast pocket, leaving a yard of it, more or less, sticking out, and then he goes in to see the old man and yanks it out and shows the new handkerchief to him, and— “‘There,’ he says to the old man, “there’s a handkerchief that's some- thing like. I don't exactly like the shape of it,’ he says; ‘you see, it’s made longer than it is wide,’ and he held it up for the old man to see, ‘but it's big enough,’ he says, ‘anyhow. Now why can’t I have a lot of hand kerchiefs like that, only made square?” ““Why, you can!’ says the old man, ‘Certainly. Of course. Why not? and he ordered a lot of ‘em right away made square, and that's the sort of handkerchiefs the giant carried al- ways after that; at last he had got a handkerchief that was big enough for him.” TT The “Dandy” of Fifty Years Ago. Noah Webster never made so pretty an exhibition of his descriptive pow- ers as in that passage of his great work where he speaks of a dandy as a “male of the human species, who dresses himself like a doll, and who carries his character on his back.” He skims about by reason of his light draft, upon the surface of society; and he carries neither freight nor ballast, his whole hulk looms over the busy tide, where we are floating, each our several ways. From a buttonhole in his waistcoat, to a side pocket, sweeps a tremendous chain of enamel and gold, serving to sustain a very trifling watch, and an inordinate quantity of oxidized charms, in the shape of bronze women in bath tubs, opera dancers’ legs, and horse's hoofs. You overtake him in the street, and speak, expecting him to turn his head; but such an expectation is very vain; there is a slight lifting of the ¢hin, languid sem{-revolution at the hips; you see one corner of his eye, and hear “H’ahy '—and—it is the best thing he can do.—The late Ik Harvel, writing in 1847.

SSSSESSSSSSSSSHSSHSSESESESSESESESSESESSESSESSSESSEESSESESES Was the Tariff Bill a Victory for Mr. Taft? “The very concession Mr. Taft ob- tained were yielded from political ne- cessity, not from any conviction that justice required them,’’ says the edi- torial writer in the department of the “Interpreter’s House”’ in the October American Magazine. He continues: “A victory for Mr. Taft? You re- member McClellan? Preparing, pre- ; paring—pretty soon, we’ll show you! A general should not boast of win- ning a skirmish after losing a battle. | Mr. Taft seems no more to have un- derstood his great chance than did Congress.

In his speech.at Albany, N. Y., Mr. Taft said: ‘I want Governor Hughes to come out and back me up on this platform. When we are together there is plenty of strength, and we work better than on separate plat- forms. In Massachusetts, from where I just came, I had a senator and a congressman or two to help me on the platform, and that’s where I need assistance.” Many a truth has been uttered in jest. Mr. Taft was nominated as a Roosevelt reformer and elected as a tariff revisionist. He helped in the enactment of a tariff bill that increases the consumers’ burdens, declared Aldrich to be the republican leader in the senate and a fit counsellor for the American people and gave to Secre- tary Ballinger a clean bill. With these facts in view one is impressed that the president was right when he said ‘‘that’s where I need assist- ance.’’—Commoner. State Fair Camping Grounds.
