General Zook.
Col. Theo. W. Bean, writing to the Phila-

battle Of Gettysburg and the fall Of General
Zook, says:

Zook on July I'd was among the most con-

OF the day and the field was most deadly.

A CRITICAL INTERVIEW.

While Major =, who was then at.
tached to the Third Corps STAT, was con-
veying an urgent message to Z,ok's Divis-
ion Commander respecting tho disposition
to be- made OF this supporting column, he
encountered the brigade, which, on in
quiry, proved to be z,ok's. Seeking that
official, at its head, the Major asked General
ZoUk where his Division General could be
iouud, explaining the urgency, which,
indeed, was clear to every soldier in the
column. II being apparent that before the
Maj9r could ride 10 looks superior officer
and have orders regularly conveyed back
again 10 z Jok, the latter's regiment would
have pissed beyond the point where fresh
troops were Instantly required, Z)ok was
asked, II under the circumstances, he
would not Immediately detach his troops
from the column and move into action
right where they were riding. He
replied politely, but with soldierly mein,
that his orders were to follow the column.
Repeating the request the Major asked
Z1ok TO assume tue responsibility OF com.
pliance, promising 10 protect him and to
return him, as soon as possible, with Il for
NAL order from the proper officer. Zook
and the Major were utter strangers TO each
other. 1t was critical interview. There
was no time to parley. The exhausted
lines Of BlIney's Division were stubbornly
lighting corps. 1t was obvious, too, that
z jok, us we'll as the Major, appreciated
that neither the request nor compliance
with 1t could be considered within the
strict limits Of regular military propriety.
"sir," said Z,ok, with calm, firm look,
full Of significance, "if you will give me
the order OF General Sickles l will obey
it" Then," was answered, General Sick
les order is, General, tha' you file your brig
AIDE to the right and move your men into
action here"

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1888.

MORE people have read The SUN dur
Nl ing the year just now passing than
ever before since it was first printed. No
other newspaper published on this side OF
the earth has been bought and read in any
year by 80 many men and women.
We are credibly informed that people
buy, read and like The sun for the follow
ing reasons, among others:
Because It's news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest possi-
BILE accuracy whatever has interest for
humankind; the events, the deeds and
misdeeds, the wisdom, the philosophy, the
notable folly, the solid sense, the improv-
ing nonsense-all the news OF the busiest
world at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its
remarks concering persons and affairs The
SUN makes practice OF telling them the
exact truth to the best of its ability three
hundred and sixty-tive days in the year,
before election as well as after, about the
whales as we'll as the small fish, in the face
of dissent as plainly and tearlessly as when
supported by general approval. THE Sun
has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the information of its readers and the fur
thersnce of the common good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper.
No man is so humble that THE SUN is in
different to his welfare and his rights. No
man is so rich that it can allow injustice
10 be done HIM. No man, no ASSOCIATION
of men, is powerful enough TO be exempt
from the strict application OF its principles
of right and wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a
dozen wears, without intermlssion and
al
pers. the fight that has resulted in the re-
cent Overwhelming popular verdict against
Robesonism and Tor honest government.
No matter what party is IN power, IHE
SUN stands and will continue To stand like
Q rock for the interests OF the people
against the ambition of bosses, the en-
croschments ot monopolists, and the dis
honest schemes OF public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily
by our friends. One man holds that The
sun is the best religious newspaper ever
published because ils Christianity Is un-
diluted with cant. Another holds that II
ia the best Republican newspaper printed,
because it has already whipped halt OF the
rascals out Of that party, and Is proceed
ing against the other half with undimin-
ished vIgor. A third believes 1t to be the
best magazine Of general literature III eX'
istence, because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the
world of thought So every friend OF The
SuN discovers one of its many sides that
appeals with particular force to his indi-
vidual liking. =,
If YOU already know THE SUN YOU will
observe that in 1888 it is little better
than ever before. If you do not already
know The SUN, you will find it TO be
mirror of sll human activity, a storehouse
of the choicest products of common sense
and imagination, u mainstay Tor the cause
of honest government, sentinel for gen
uine Jefersonlan Democracy, scourgc
for wickedness OF every species, and an
uucsmmonly good Investment for the com
ing year.

she said. faintly. "His eyes were so

they would look sorrowful. So l

others-you and Mr.. Burton. Please

Miss Burton left the room aud re-

looked with frightened eyes at Jeanne.

POLiteness.

Politeness is something that costs
very little, snd yet yields a rich re-
turn in all the paths Of life. A Rich
mond paper tells Of a bootblack who
in his wanderings had picked up a
good sized stump and set his heart on
having a second hand smoke. Pass
ing grocery store which happened
to te on the corner, the boy stepped
in and said, respectfully enough:
"Will you GIN me match ?"
1--WE don't keep matches to give
away" growled the clerk.
The boy hssitated moment and
finally said:
"Well do you sell EN- ?
of course we sell them" was the
reply, and the clerk Gid box over
the counter and iaked iu the whole
sum Of two cents, fshed out of the
boys pocfet.
There was lighting of the cigar
stub which was handled as gracefully
as if it had been a new and fragrant
Havana, and the boy stepped forward
and politely said:
"Please put these oa your shelf and
the next time gem'man asks you
for match give him one out Of my
box"
That was all, and yet the rebuke
could not have been more cutting il
had been administered with the gro
GERS sharpest cheese knife.
Before many years that boy will
make fortune. He will be the own
er of that grocery and run for Con-
gress while the present clerk will be
a carey worn, poor man, asking the
proprietor for situation as porter.
