usefulness is fully demonstrated.

"ThofTicial life of a gallant old
warrior expired today when by
.reason of the fact that this is the
sixty-fourth anniversary of his
birth Lieutenant General Adna R.
Chaffee late chief of staff of the
arnfy was -retired from active
service. The usual leave-takings
were not in order for the reason
Chat General Chaffee two weeks
sago relinquished his office of chief
of staff in favor of his successor
General Bates and has gone to
Southern California where he is
to make his future home.
It is a grand record that General
Chaffee leaves upon the pages of
the department from which he has
now taken his departure. From a
.private in the ranks which he
entered freckled and bronzed from
the harvest fields he worked his
way step by step to the highest
jank within the gift of the United
Stales army.
General Chaffee was born in
Ohio in 1842. and entered the
service as a private soldier in the
Sixth cavalry in July 1851. In
March 1S63. he was commission-
ed second lieutenant Ijecoming
a first lieutenant in February
1865 and bore the rank of captain !
at the close of the war. He took
part in all the campaigns of the
army of the Potomac being se-
verely wounded at Fairfield and
Brandy Station and was brevetted
for gnllautry at the battles of Get-
tysburg and Dinwiddie court-house
Following the civil war he ' was
engaged much of the time in cam-
paigns against the hostile Indians
on the frontier. He was with
'General McCook in the depart-
ment of Arizona as inspector gen-
erol and then was sent to Fort
Leavenworth as instructor in
atactics. At the breaking out of
"hostilities with Spain he was in-
structor in the school of cavalry
and infantry tactics at Fort Piley
JKan.
tBurins the Spanish war he serv-
ed first as a brigadier general and
later as a major general of volun-
teers. At El Caney General
Chaffee having been given com-
matid of a brigade fight was open-
d by him and his men bore the
brunt of it throughout the day.
-Chaffee's conduct was magnificent
and excited the admiration of the
entire army. To his brilliant
leadership in fact the signal victo-
ary of the day was chiefly due but
no one could ever get Chaffee to
open his mouth about it.
General Chaffee's force moved
on the heights occupied by the
SDaniards at an early hour in the
morning encountering a heavy
fire from the enemy and suffering
severely but it did not flinch and
carried the summit with a hearty
cheer. An eyewitness of the
struggle said when the fight was
the hottest General Chaffee dashed
about at the head of the column
with his hat on the back of his
head urging on his men w ho were
willing-enough for 'all that and
needed no encouragement crying
to them to "get in and help their
country win a victory." The men
wereright behind him and the
victory was won.
At the time of the Boxer troubles
General Chaffee led the American
forces in China. He made a favor-
able showing in comparison with
the best soldiers of the great armies
represented there. Subsequently
he was given command in the
Philippines from which command
he was detached to become chief
of staff.
A model soldier in the field
with a true soldierly way of doing
things General Chaffee was always
the idol of his men. It has often
been said that one of his favorite
commands when in a hot chase
after Indians used to be: "Follow
me men and every man that's
killed I'll make a corporal."

A Few Facts. - -
Owing to the advance in the
price of silver many of the old
mines on the Comstock lode Vir-
ginia City Nev. are being prepar-
ed for the resumption of operations
that were suspended several years
ago. A large force of men will be
put to work.
The inmates of the St. George's
work house Southwark London
made 11464 useful articles of
clothing during the last twelve
months while at the same time re-
pairing some 600 articles. The in-
dustry saved the ratepayers a sub-
stantial sum of money.
A court of law is a reminiscence
of the time when justice sat in the
open courtyard and the "dock" is
from a German word meaning a
receptacle while the "bar" is a
Welsh word meaning a branch of
a tree used to separate the lords of
justice from their vassals.
An old woman in Germany had
been bedridden on account of par-
alysis for ten years until last
August when a tempest in her
neighborhood shook the houses and
so frightened the old paralytic that
she leaped from her bed. There
has been no relapse and hers may-
be set down perhaps as the only
case of cure by tempest.

The Busybody.
It is extraordinary the passion
most people have for managing
other people's affairs and ordering
their lives. Not only do they give
much advice when asked for but
far too manj' feel it their duty to
give advice when not sought in
the case of those they know whilst
very many will be constantly spec-
ulating upon the affairs of com-
parative strangers and say what
they would do if they were "so-and-so."
Far too many of the frictions
quarrels" and unpleasantnesses of
this life are either caused or fo-
mented by the interference of a
third member who would in the
majority of cases be far better
employed in managing her own af-
fairs. There are times of course when
it is perfectly proper to give other
people the benefit of whatever wis-
dom you possess but it is a very
good and safe rule never to volun-
teer advice.
Wait till it is asked for or bet-
ter still let it be dragged from
you reluctantly. If your counsel
is found to be valuable the chances
are that it will be asked for fre
quently and even dragged from
you and if events prove it to be
worthless as is quite probable you
can console yourself with the
thought that you gave it un-
willingly. Southern Messenger.
Shield Your Nerves.
A beautiful woman gave the fol-
lowing advice to a girl admirer:
"Shield your nerves and don't let
them become too sensitive. Make
yourself take life calmly. If you
lose a train don't pace the platform
wildly but inquire when the next
comes in and sit down calmlv to
wait for it. That's just what
most women don't do; they sit
down perhaps but they tap the
floor with their feet clinch and
unclinch their hands" and are ap
parently in a fever heat of excite-
ment over the arrival of every train
that comes in even though the'
have been assured that theirs is
not due for another half hour.
That half hour of waiting means
to them a frightful wear and tear
of nerves and they are practically
weeks older for it. Try to culti-
vate calmness but if you cannot
do that all at once you can keep
your face still." Selected.
