PH ~ r~i~H B.WILLSONbU*B;;a;LC;L.'IILA DISAPPOINTED BANDMASTER
hle Did His Best and Was Ignomlria
ously Squelched.
Earthworks had been thrown across
the neck of land upon which City
Point is located, says the Century
This entrenched line ran from a point
on the James to a point on the Appomattox
river. A small gai rson had
been detailed for its defense, and the
commanding officer, wishing to do
something that would afford the general-mn-chief
special delight, arranged
to send the band over to the headquarters
camp To play for him while he
was dining. The garrison commander
was in blissful ignorance of the fact
that to the general the appreciation of
music was a lacking sense and the musician's
score a sealed ,book.
About the third evening after the
band had begun its performances, the
general, while sitting at the mess-tatble
remarked "I've noticed that that band
always begin its noise Just about the
time I am sitting down to dinner and
want to talk" I offered to go and
make an effort to suppress it and see
whether it would obey an order to
"cease firing," and my services wele
promptly accepted The men were
gorgeously uniformed and the band
seemed to embrace every soit of brass
instrument ever invented, from a
diminutive cornet-a-pistons to a gigantic
doublebass horn The performer
wvho played the latter instrument vwas
encaged within its ample twists, and
looked like a man standing inside the
coils of a whisky-still The broadbelted
bandmaster was puffing with all
the vigor of a quack-medicine advertisement,
his eyes were riveted upon
the music and it was not an easy task
to attract his attention Like a spermwhale,
he bad come up to blow and
was not going to be put down till he
had finished, but finally he h as made
to understand that, like the hand-organ
man, he was desired to move on
With a look of disinherltance on his
countenance be at last marched off his
band to its camp.
On my return the general said "I
fear that bandmaster's feelings have
been hurt, but I didn't want him to
be wasting his time upon a person vwho
has no ear for music" A staff officer
remarked "Well, general, you were at
least more considerate than Commodore
--, who. the day he came to take
command of his vessel and was seated
at dinner in the cabin, heard music
Dn deck and immediately sent for the
executive officer and said to him. 'Have
the instruments and men of that band
rown overboard at once'"
SOME HARD GREEK NAMES.
Not Pronounced RuiLte as the Average
Reader WVould Suppose.
CGreek proper names have been the
source of considerable study to the
reading public since the Greek troubles
began and the pronunciation of the
names of some of the officials wbo are
prominent in Athens at the present
time has been the subject of controversy,
says the New York Tribune
A man who is well versed on the
subject said that the modern Greek
peculiarity was to a great extent the
accentuation and gave as an instance
the name of Mauromnchales, the Greek
:.ecretary of the interior The name is
pronounced Mov-ro-michalls, with
strong accent on the second syllable
The secretary of foreign affairs, Alexander
Skouzes, pronounces his name
Sko u-zes, with strong accent on the
u The name of Philip VAarvogles,
minister of Justice. is pronounced Varvo-chlpes,
the ch in the thud syllable
being hard like the German ch
Nicholas Metaxas, minister of war, has
an easy name for foreigners, but the
minister of marine, Levides, pronounces
his name Levee-thes The
president of the chamber of deputies
writes his name Zaimes and pronounces
it Za-i-mis with accent on the
second syllable Canars, the fleet
commander's name, is pronounced Canarces,
with accent on the first syllable
The name of Delyannis appears in
print every day and most readers have
Ideas as to its pronunciation His
Greek neighbors call the premierDelee-yanees, with accent on the second
syllable
'Like the Russians, the Greeks have
no family names except in the higher
walks of society, and a man whose
name is Gregorlus will call his son
Gregorades, pronouncing the d much
like th in though The son of Demetiius
is called Demethrades.
One of the most common names in
Greece is Pappadopoulos, which may
be assumed by any man whose father
was a priest, and a man instead of
taking the name of Antonmades may
call himself by the longer name, if
Father Anthoy was a priest The d in

The following letter, in the words of
the author of it, tells a very important
story: "Mrs. T. V. Stewart, of Mount

was a great benefit. I slept better
that night and began to mend right

my grave but for Pe-ru-na and Man-alin.
My friends all seemed surprised
to see me looking so wfll. I advise all
who are ailing to try Pe-ru-na and Mana-lin
and have induced a great many,
and they say it is a good medicine; but
they can not so fully realize how good
it is, not having been so near death's
door as myself."

Mo,t people not only grow oldi
every dlay, but poorerDr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People have brought joy into the home
of G. N. Bensel, of 303 Hennepin
Avenue, the well-known Minneapolis
decorator and painter. For over ten
years Mr. Bensel was afflicted with
scrofula in an aggravated form, causing
running sores to continually form on
the back of the neck and extend up
into the hair. To-day he is cared and
happy-twice happy we might say, for
his daughter, who is now fourteen
years of age, had the terrible nervous
affliction. known as St. Vitus' dance,
and has also been greatly improved by
the use of these pills.
In relating his experience to a Tribune
reporter, he said
"I have had the annoyance nearly twelve
years consisting, chiefly of scmofulous tumors
on the baek of my neckl and head I tNled
manv zeemedies Nithout receiving the relief
desired It ywas after persistent eftrolts of a
fend to induce me to use Pink Pills for Pale
People that I vielded, and the lesalt is that

I want to tell you loo, about the great
benefit my daughter, who is now fourteen
yeais old, also received from the use of Dr
Williams' Pink Pills For two yeais she

A man reads more about love than

Mr. H. L. Myers,of Ioo Mulberry street,
Newark, N.J., made the mistake of relying
upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says:
*'I was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering I endured.
"Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent a hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried varinous
patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. I
regained my lost weight, became stronger,
and my appetite greatly improved.
I was soon entirely well, and my skin as
clear as a piece of glass."
S.S.S. is a sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. It is
Purely Vegetable
and one thousand dollars will be paid
for proof that it contains a particle of
mercury, potash,or other mineral. S S.S.
is sold by all druggists.

from the use of S. S. S. Being
