GARFIELD,s oANAL DAYS.
A Story Which He Did Not Deny or
Confirm.

Washington Letter 10 the CleDeSaad Leader.
A retired army officer of high rank told
me last night new story about Gar
fields canal days. The subject which
brought out the story was the question
as TO whether President Garfield pos
sessed much moral courage. The officer
said: "Whether James A. Garfield had
moral courage in high degree or not
do not know. | am sure he possessed a
remarkable amount Of physical courage,
and heard of an instance of this while
he was yet in Congress. Is was on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago
road. was coming from Chicago to
Washington. AS we neared fort Wayne
gentleman came into the sleeper, and,
asking my permission, sat down beside
me. In the course of conversation he in
formed me that he was Division Superin-
tendent of the line, and upon learning
that | was going to Washington he asked:
And how is Jimmy Garfield getting
along down therer told him ] was ac-
quainted with Representative GARFIELD,
and he then went on to say that he had
been the Captain of a canal boat in con-
nection with which Garfield as boy was
driver. He said that Garfield was very
brave at that time--that be would fight
any fellow who dared knock chip off his
shoulder. 'One Saturday night said he,
when we tied the boat up TO stop for
Sunday, Jimmy came to me and asked If
he might not leave the boat until start
ing time the next day, as ne wanted to go
to a little town about - miles off.
gave him permission and away he went.
The next day shortly after noon he came
back with pair of the blacklist eyes |
have ever seen on boy or man. Iasked
him what was the matter, and be told
me there was a hoy in the village where
he had been who had boosted TO friend
of his some months previous that he could
whip jim Garfield out Of his boots, and
that he had decided that as soon as he
got the chance to go to the town be would
give him the opportunity of doing so.
He had walked all that II miles and back
again merely to fight the boy, and think
he whipped him. After | returned to
Washington l told Garfield this story.
He laughed, but would not affirm that it
was true nor deny it,"

From TIE 50. Louis RsDubltc0a.
Mr.. George B. Landers, a prominent
cattle raiser OF New Mexico, Is stopping
at the Southern. Mr.. Landers says: sit
Is only question Of time when cattle will
be killed and dressed on the ranches, and
shipped in refrigerator cars to the great
distributing points. The present way OF
shipping cattle in crowded stock cars for
several Thousand miles leaves them in a
very bad condition for beef The railroads
are the great obstacle to this method OF
transportation, as 1t is TO their interest to
oppose IL, because where the shipper can
now put twenty-five or thirty head Of cat
tie in common stock car, in that way he
could put forty or tifty In a refrigera-
tor. We could use the entrails
and fat In the manufacture OF
soap, as we'll as they can in the
East, and every facility lie at hand for the
tanning of hides, so that nothing would
he lost. The cattlemen are all In Tor II,
and, as l said before, 1t IL only a matter
OF time when the stock car will be used
only for hauls Of few miles. The cattle
business has a great deal more system
about IL than is supposed, and II takes as
much business tact to manage a great
herd of cattle properly, TO keep track OF
all the cattle and 10 know when 10 ship
IN order TO reach the market at the right
time, as IL does TO properly manage a
large wholesale dry goods establishment.
Yes, the profits are large. ! could sell
cattle for $40 head and make good money,

about 81 a head to raise them. Yes,
there is some little profit ia the business

LEARNING TO SLUG.
Exercise That Every staiwart Man May
Take.

Take.
Boxing exercise is thus described in
Mr.. r. A. Proctor new work on Strength
and Happiness: "A calf-skin bag four
teen or fifteen inches in diameter, filled
with sand, hung by stout cord from the
ceiling III there is q beam to it, or from a
cord stretched between two high nails on
opposite sides of the room }, will make a
capital dumb boxer. The bag should
hang at about the height of the chin, so
that its highest part is opposite the eyes
and It's lowest part opposite the chest.
Pound away at this as IL IL we're the head
and shoulders OF a living opponent. Hit
out from the shoulder, so that it flies up
to the ceiling, catch 1t "a good one as Il
flies back toward you; advance a step
and hit IL so that at the next rebound II
flies over your head; spring sharply round
aud meet II on that side; hit 1t upward
tall the cord loops; hit il round ARM
so that If you are not quick enough 1t
catches you on the back OF the head. In
five minutes time (Which later you may
extend 10 ten you will be putting and
painting like the conventional grampus."
Mr.. Proctor also points out how various
pieces OF furniture can be utilized with
out any damage being done 10 the arti-
Giles employed. Strength, he insists, is
essential TO happiness. 10 other words

NOunOn In Paris


The Paris bourgeoisc, writes Paris correspon-
cent, always feels at home In the gardens; she
knows that she need not dress either herself her
children 'to the topmost" when she lakes Them
there; and this is comforting thought TO sensible
woman whose mind is centred upon her family and
who derives Keen pleasure from 'making econo-
will be almost certainly accompanied by nurse 10
whom she delegates her most obvious maternal
duties. This Is her great weakness; IL traditional
with her order-the well-to-dO middle class-and
she does not think 1t weakness. This nurse Is
tamarly termed nOun0u. ana all visitors TO Paris
know her by her long CLOAK, her headdres Of bright
ribbons stuck through with large headed gilt pins,
and her long gay-colored streaners hanging down
her back The Partisan mother always feels two
inches higher when she IL accompanied by good
looking, wel-dressed nonnou. She represents one
of the compensations OF maternity.
AS the nounou fills very important role in French
society, especially IN That part OF Paris II may be
well to say little more abOnt her, She Is never a
Parisian the fact of her being one would be dis
qualification for the ONCE surprising nat she wished
10 I'LL it, which would he most unlikely she Is the
the Ardennes, In The mountains OF AuyerRne or
savoy, or In some district that has never been heard
OF outside OF France. No one troubles 10 make any
Inquiries respecting her aniecedenta. Her duties
are not supposed 10 he In any way related TO the
moral order of IDEAS but her health and appearance
are matters OF the highest importance. Her name is
put down on an oficial register, and she IL almost
a government funclionary. Az soon as the aspira-
lion to become u nonnon selzes her she gets her
name placed upon the nurse role. IL the medical
port Is satisfactory she soon finds employment, and
while lasts she Is Ia the lap OF luxury She Is the
best fed best clothed aud tho most Kindly treated
generally Of all servants.
Ladies who are ready enough to scOi the house
maid and cook treat nonnOu almost on terms of
equality. Their sOlicltude for the nursling makes
them wonderfully thoughtful OF The nurse. IL she
has anything the matter with her II Is most pleasing
10 notice the disneIeh,c1 zeal with which they send
for the doctor, while the lesa favored cook may
proan piteously under the weight OF her maladies,
real OF supposed, and excite no pity or interest,
Nounou Ia one OF the family and It's most pampered
member. II would never 40 10 offend her, Tor she
could take her little vengeance upon the blessed
baby, ana no one would be any the wiser. When her
functions have been fulfilled the whole scene
changes. honnou puts Oh her line cap and ribbons
ana becomes simple peasant again. She either re-
turns to her village with the money she has saved,
settles down ntD service OF another sort, and then
Teaps the disillusOns OF seryltude.
