"NEyER MIND THE HAT, MY Boy

A Miner from the Gunnison and General
Sheridan Talk Over War Incident.
From the Denver (Col) Tribute.
1t is only natural that great generals
who commanded thousands of men in the
late was should frequently meet with men
in different parts of the country who cherish
some incident Of was life with which
private and general were closely connected.
1t is doubtful if General Phil. Sheridan,
whose famous twenty mile ride to Win
chester has made his name familiar in every
household, ever met a man who brought
up pleasanter "reminiscences than a brown
faced, hardy miner did in this city day or
two ago.
General Sheridan was idly saunter ing
up and down the lobby of the Windsor
Hotel deep in thought and complacently
putting at his Havana and blowing the
white smoke into pretty little rings. Sud-
denly rough looking man, with face SO
heavily bearded that one could see nothing
but the twink,ing black eyes, approached
him, and raising his hat with an awkward
embarrassment. said:
Good morning, General"
The hero of Winchester returned the
greeting, touching his cap with military
politeness, and then trying to peer through
the miners heavy beard to get glimpse of
his features, the general added:
I'm afraid I've forgotten your face,
SIR"
The eyes of the man from Gunnison
twinkled brighter than ever as he remarked:
Its not unlikely, General, sein's We met
but once afore, you wouldn't be 80 apt to
remember me as l am you. It's seventeen
years since saw you last. Things has
changed since then. 1t was on the battle
field of Cedar Creek, Don't you remem-
Der the soldier that gave you his horse
when yours was shot from under you by a
shower of canister from the masked bat
teries on the brow of hill?" and the old
man looked up with eager pride into the
generals face.
That do. answered the general, with a
pleased interest and brighter flash in his
eye; II remember it well.,'
Il was that soldier" continued the I.iner,
proudly. Il remember the circumstance
well, sir. When you put the spurs to my
horse and galloped off, you left your hat
behind you, and called to you as loud as
I could, but you replied, never mind the
hat, my boy I've got that hat yet, gener-
al. It's hanging in my cabin in the noun :
tains," and the rough fellows eyes glewed
with pleasure.
Sheridan grasped his hand and led him
to seat, and for half an hour they fought
the battle of Cedar Greek over again.

THE NEW MOON.

D fair young crescent traced in flame
Upon the western sky,
meet you face to race, and claim
Your happy augury.
Good fortune while you wax aud wane,
A myth of childish lore
MY heart still keeps; tonight fain
Would be child once more.
Along the gray horizons rim
Lie clouds as black as night
While Frightening through the twilight dim
Cleans out your arc OF light
o Moon! not vain methinks we holl
Your promise, for we know
Your Swallowed disks half ring of gold
With full orbed light shall glow.
And as, o Noon, your silent call
The great sea tides doth draw,
Life's tidal waters rise and fall
Obedient to their law.
Why should doubt or fear? One Hand
Alone doth hold and guide,
And so upon the shore astrand
await the incoming tide.

Smaller Farms in the South,

From the Baltimore Sun, July 30th.
The process of subiividing the larger
plantations into smaller farms is going on
steadily in the south, even in the states
where the old system had taken deepest
hold. The hard working farmer, who fol-
lows the pillow himself, is gradually crowd
ing out the luxurious planter, who, in the
ante bellmm days scarcely took the trouble
to direct the operations Of his laboiers. In
Mississippi, for instance, there were A.
80 plan tations in 1860, and the average
number Of acres in each was $40. Ten
years later there were 69.023 farms, the
average area of each being 1913 acres. In
1880 the number Of farms was 75, 205, aver
aging 1856 acres each. While the aroa Of
cultivated land is less than it was in 1880,
yet the production Of cotton is nearly twice
as great. The census Of 1880 will doubt
less show a still greater change in the do
nestle economy Of the south, as indicated
by q large number Of landowners aud 20 vast
increase IN agricultural products,

Evils Of Tight Lacing.

In reply to ''Young Lady "plea for tight
facing, which need not be inserted here, we
quote from Miss Oakeys Beauty in dress"
merely promising that Miss Oakley as an ar
tist has devoted years to this study: "Any
woman is too tightly dressed who cannot
raise her arms straight up above her head
and clasp her hands; who cannot stoop to
tie her shoe or pick up q pin, thout

ingly INDUCED, like painless poison, saps
the beauty, the grace, the brains. the life,
from its unfortunate victims. Tight lacing
is not only hideous stupidity, it is crime
"a crime that casts heavy burden upon the
next generation, and renders the present
one incapable of it's duties 1t makes all
the movements of the body angular and

The Rothschild Family of Millionaires.

Ihe ROthschllds have been attracting no
little attention to themselves in Paris by
the announcement of the extension of the
act of partnership, which expired Septem-
Der 3Oth, of this year, to 1905. The Paris
branch of the family is quite large. The
dowager Baroness Rothschild, who lives in
the family mansion in the Rus Latte, had
five children-Baroness Alphonse, who Is
ut this date at the head of the family; Bar
on Solomon, who died long time ago;
Baron Gustaye, Baron Edmond, and the
Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild. The ven
cradle dowager is a veritible fountain of
charity. She gives away hundreds of
thousands of francs every year. In the
summer she lives in splendid house at
Bolougne, where apartments of each of her
sons and daughters are kept constantly in
order. Baron and Baroness Alphonse
Rothschild live in the old mansion in the
hue st. Florentine, where Talleyrand once
resided. They are gay, and extremely
fond OF society, and are seen everywhere
IN the monde. The baroness is one Of the
most accomplished equestrienes who fire.

daughter who will, 1t is said, be the richest
heiress in the Paris family. Baron Gustave
is the only one who has married outside
the family. One of the sons of the lato
Nathaniel Rothschild has just purchased
the splendid mansion of Count Toistol, in
the Avenue de Friedland, and another
named Arthur spends his life in collecting
books. 1t is said that no one else in France
except the Duke of Auma1e possesses such
inestimable treasures of rare editions and
luxurious binding as the young Rothschild.
One of the latest additions to the delegates
to Paris of this phenomenallv rich family
is Baron Adolphe Rothschild of Naples,
who has closed out his business and retired
with tie serenity of conscience promoted
by the knowledge of the possession of q
fortune Of $50. 10000 francs. He may be
seen now and then in the Bots, lolling neg
lgently in the blue carriage, which is one
of the peculiarities of the house. He is a
great collector, and will spend hundreds of
thousands of francs upon any trifie he hap
pens to consider he must have. There is
but one Catholic in the family, and that is
the young Duchess Of Grammont, who, it
will be remembered, was the daughter of
Baron Rothschild of Frankfort on the
Main, one Of the richest members Of the
group.

Opposites in Matrimeny.

Theodore Parker wrote: Young people
marry their opposiies in temperament and
generally good ones. They do it instinct
lively. The young man does not say, "My
black eyes require to be wed with blue. and
my over vehemence requires to be little
modified with somewhat dullness and re-
serve" When these opposites come to-
gether to be we'd they do not know it, but
each thinks the other just like himself.
Old people never marry their opposites;
they marry their similars, and from calcu-
lation. Each Of these two arrangements is
very proper. In their long journey these
opposites will fall out by the way great
many times, and charm the other back
again, and BY and by they will be agreed as

A Patent Alarm Bed.

Mr.. Washtub is the name of gentle
man who won't stop at an up-cOuntry
hotel again. 1t seems that the clerk
had to get up very early in the morn
ing, and, finding difficulty in waking,
built patent alarm bed, in accordance
with plans given him by Mr.. Edison,
who once stopped at the house. The
bed had powerful clock work attach
ment, and at a set hour it would arouse
any man who wasn't dead.
The day after they had got the thing
set up in the house there was a great
rush of guests, and the clerk, in order
to accommodate Mr.. Washtub, gave up
his bed to him. He also forgot to shut
off the alarm, and the result was about
four o'clock in the morning Washtub
was aroused by most terrible racket
He opened his eyes and sat up in bed,
and then lie heard voice which came
from phOnograph attached to the bed,
eXclaim:
"You old mUcker, pile out ~
If he had understood the thing, he
would have hoped out of bed and shut
off the alarm. But he didn't and
thought it was burglars.
SO he lay down again and pulled the
covers over his head, and the bed be-
gan to shake violently, and he thought
it was an earthquake, and was terribly
scared. The bed shook so that he had
to cling to the mattress to keep in, and
finally the bed seemed to rise right up
under him, and he was hurled violently
to the floor. He tried to rise, and Just
then the mattress came off upon him
with great force and floOred him again.
He had a terrible time getting out from
under them, and just as he did so a
shower of ice water came upon him,
and then the Stats of the bed began to
whack at him, and as he could see but
little in the dim light of the room, he
thought he must have gone to sleep in
threshing machine, and some one had
started it. His yells finally brought
the landlord, who stopped the machine,
and tried to calm the terrified guest by
explaining the thing to him. But the
explanation only made matters worse,
for the victim lost two trains stopping
over to lay for the clerk, who had found
out what he had done and kept cut of
the way.
