West Point. In the war thew
we're major generals of cavalry
on opposing sides. One day
Gen. Young was invited to
breakfast at the Hunter mansion
in Virginia. The beautiful young
ladies had prepared a smoking
breakfast, to which the General
was addressing himself with ar
dor when a shell burst through
the house. CHANGING though a
window he saw Custer charging
toWaEd the house at the head OF
his staff. Out of the window
Young went, calling to the
young ladies : "Tell Custer
leave this breakfast for him.
Custer enjoyed it heartily, and
looked forward with pleasure to
the dinner in the distance. In
the meantime Young, smarting
over the loss of his breakfast
and his hasty retreat, drove the
Federal line back, and by din.
ner time was in sight of. the
Eunter mansion again. Custer,
who was just sitting down tic
dinner, laughed and said: s'That's
Pierce Young coming back
knew he wouldn't leave me here
in peace. Here's my picture

ducts a CROWN gand paying farm

gusta merchant yesterday that
be worked two mules and that
his crop for the year was twenty
bales of cotton, 200 bushels OF
sweet potatoes, with his barn
and cribs full of hay and corn
and provender. He said
he owed but 800 in the world,
and taking out a well-filled wal
let declared that he was able to
pay that, and then he would 90
home and store away his sur
plus. When asked if farming
paid he said that it paid him, be-
cause he attended to his own
business and worked with his
own hands. Farming would
paw any man who looked after
his interests, but it did not at
ford much time for loafng,
hunting, fishing and protracted
church meetings. It looks like
