GENERAL MCCLELLAN.
How Little Mac Disposed of Recalcitrant
Ouartermaster.

How Little Mac Disposed of y Recalcitrant
Quartermaster.
General Mcclellan was indefatigable
in reorganizing the army routed at Bull
Run, and he used every day to ride or
walk through the camps about WASH
ington in citizens dress, looking out for
abuses to be remedied. One day as he
was strolling through the rear of a regi-
mental encampment, he saw a pail of
some dark-looking mixture standing by
fire. and asked what it was. '.It's
Coffee" said the soldier who was
officiating as cook. ITO me-" replied
Mcclellan. lit looks more like slops."
Co." said the soldier, lit is not fit to
drink, but we have to put up with it,
and our other food is not a bit better"
"Well, whose fault is it?" he asked.
20, our quartermaster is drunk most of
the time, and when he is not he is
studying how to cheat" Mcclellan
passed on. and seeing more evidence of
the dirty and slovenly manner in which
the quartermaster conducted the opera
tions in his tent, he accosted him with
the remark that the men were COM
planning of bad treatment from him.
The quartermaster flew into a passion,
and swore it was none of his business.
and he had better not come sneaking
around trying to make mischief. Me-
Clellan answered him, telling him he
had better be cautious how he talked.
Quartermaster replied: who are you,
that You assume SO much apparent au-
thority?' Il am George B. Mcclellan.
and you can pack up your traps and
leave" The quartermaster was struck
dumb. and Mcclellan turned and left
him. That evening the quartermaster
left, to the tune of the '.Rogue's March,"
played by some of the boys who had
got wind of it.-Ben. Periey POore.

A LATE DISCOVERY.

The Illinoisian Who Was u millionaire
and Didn't Know 1t.
l met him on Canal Street, New Or
leans, or rather he came up to me as
was leaning against a door-post and
asked:
"Be You from Illanoy:?"
"No--Michigan."
That's too bad. I wanted to find
somebody from nlanoy."
..Broke?"
mo, not yet. See here, I'm pizenly
bothered"
"WelI?"
swell, I've been hired man I'M IIla-
noy for the last thirteen years, gettin'
about $16 a month and board I've
allus looked upon board as wuth about
a dollar week, but"
..Well?'
Il just kinder filed up back here at
the restaurant-just about half square
meal-just 'nuff to pitch hay or hoe corn
on for an hour. and what dye 'spose
the figger was?"
30, about seventy cents"
Seventy pumpkins! 1t was $3.50, or
I'm a sinner. Say.'
Yes"
That's $500 day for fodder. o.
about 500 a month. A hundred n

Broadside.

In newspaper parlance. to constitute a
broadside. the matter should be printed
on the entire sheet, on one side of the
paper only, not in columns, but in one
measure. 1t matters not which wav Of
the paper the printing is displayed. or
what the size Of the type, provided the
whole is presented to the eye in one
view. Although the entire matter Of q
broadside must be contained on one
side of sheet of paper. an Endorsement
may be allowed. The custom of firing
newspaper broadsides prevails in En-
gland, but in the United States the
ordinary column width furnishes ample
space for the abuse or criticism of Co
temporaries.-St. Louis Gtobe-Demo-
crat.

Seventh Infantry, the horse went to that

Poor fellow, he seemed glad enough
to be in captivity. and was soon quite
gentle, but they were afraid to ride him
lest he should throw his rider and again
escape to the hills. He would put down
his head to have the sore on his neck
washed, and, indeed, behaved so well
we soon ceased to talk about him.
Not very long after his capture de-
tachment of Captain Phisterer's COM
pany was going in to Fort Bridger. and
the Captain determined to send the
wild horse in with them. He was
securely tied behind a wagon and strict
orders given to guard him night and
day until his arrival at Bridger.
On the second day out we heard from
the detachment that the horse had es-
capped. 1t appeared soldier had taken
him down to the water. using merely a
halter. Whether the horse got
frightened and pulled away, or whether
the soldier for a moment dropped the
halter-strap, no one could tell, but the
horse got away, fled into the hills, and,
of course. pursuit was useless. He was
often seen afterward, but no one ever
could succeed in recapturing him.
The events of which 1 have been
writing occurred in 1869, nearly sixteen
years ago, and the horse is probably
dead before this time, as he was thought
to be eight or ten years old when we
captured him. but doubt not some of
the descendants of this horse now roam
over Northern Wyoming. and it is prob
able not few of them annoy the cattle
men and horse-growers by stealing
their mares. If the descendants are as
good stuff as the sire they will not
easily be got rid of, and good many of
them, as well as us, will have cause
long to remember our first experience
in catching wild horse.-GeN. Jamc,
Brisbin, in Chicago Horsemdn.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Rev. William Dean. D. D., Baptist
missionary for fifty years to the Chinese
of Bangkok. Siam, now ut the age OF
seventy-seven, has arrived in this coun-
try, where he will spend the remainder
of his days.
AT this day and age we need moro
carpenter schoolmasters, less of tech
nology. A knowledge ofmechanics and
mechanical movements is Of more use
as well as ornament in business train
ing than en- intimate knowledge of the
definite article or Greek verb.-Soukh-
ern Trade Gazette.
1t is estimated that there are 20O,-
600. 900 Mohammedans in the world. of
whom 100000 are in Southeastern
Europe and 10000. 900 in Asiatic Tur-
key. 1850, 900 in Persia, $4,000, 900 in
Arabia and Central Asia and 60, ,00O. 900
in Hindostan. Considerably more than
half of them are in Asia, and the re-
mainder in Africa, except the 6, ,0OO, 900
in European Turkey.-ChscGQo Tribune.
No State in the Union surpasseA
Texas in the muniicence with which it
is caring for its public schools. Tho
buildings in the larger towns are equal
to any in the United States, and liberal
salaries are paid the teachers. The State
University has . permanent fund of over
half million dollars. and also two mill
lion acres of land. Its total resources
are estimated by the Regents to amount
to five million dollars. The State has
also set apart thirty million acres of
land to provide for general education
N. Y. Independent.
The Bowdoin Orient contains .
communication proposing that an Al
umni Memorial Day be set apart to be
observed in honor of Bowdoin's illustri-
GUS graduates. Such . proposal ought
to meet with universal approval. The
class of '25. with Longfellow and Haw-
thorne, takes the lead in respect to illus
trious graduates, and there are others
also memorable. Jacob Abbott, whose
life and fame were connected with
Pennington. graduated in 1920; William
Pitt Fessenden in 1898, and Franklin
Pierce in 1924. All these names occur
within period Of six years.-Portland
(Ae.) Press.
Rev. j. B. Wasson, discussing in
the Independent some new theories in
education, favors industrial education.
Among his reasons therefor, is one to
the effect that such education is pro-
ventive of crime. He states the records
of one of the Pennsylvania penitentia-
ries show that Of LOLA prisoners. only
seven were mechanics, and he also sub
mits some English statistics of like
character in further corroboration. A
deduction from Mr.. Wasson's paper
accordingly. is that the more working
men we have in tho land. the better it
is for the general peace and good order.
The very triteness of the conclusion
commends his theory.-CIrrept.
