A Story of Rosecrans.

time L met the hero of Stone River and
Chickamauga was at Sewell Mountain,
in West Virginia, rendered memorable
by both armies, Confederate and Union,
retreating from each other in unseemly
haste. Rosecrans had been at Cox's

hour after night, undertook to cut across
lots to his own tent.

The soldier looked at the common SOL

said: mo you don't"

get out and steal chickens"
The amazed commander let loose his
polite, and the guard fired back in the
vulgar tongue with volubility that was
eloquent in its way. When he ceased
from lack of breath, not words, Rosey
said:
"You blank fool, call the corporal of
the guard"
"Of course I will, and see you marched
off to the guardhouse."
The corporal was called and recognized
the general. The guard brought his
musket to present and began an apol-
ogy.
"All right" said Rosey, ''you only did
your duty, but blank it, man, you must
not swear SO. It is simply awful. You
might be killed at any moment, and
think of appearing before your Maker
with profanity in your mouth"
There was an audible smile that greet

A Slight Mistake.

A very bashful man, banker, well
known in Minneapolis, figured IN q
curious incident the other day, SO the
Hon. r. G.. Evarts told Tribune man.
He would not tell the bankers name
because, he said, if the story should be
published, names and all, it would cost
the banker so MANY cigars that in these
quiet business times it might bring him
financial ruin.
One night the bankers wife was 60
ing east, and the banker went to the
Union depot to put her safely aboard
the train. They found their section in
the Pullman car, and there was yet five
minutes to spare before train time.
The banker left the car for moment,
intending to come back in season to say
good-by to his wife and imprint one last
kiss on her fond lips. He was little
late in getting back, and in the dusky
light of the car and in his hurry he
his wife, and he rushed up to her, gath
cred her in his arms, and imprinted a
glowing kiss upon her lips.
'tGood-by, my darling" he said.
"You villain Murder You insult
ing wretch! How dare your" was the
response.
The train was just getting under head
way, and there was no time for explana-
ton. He had kissed the wrong woman
and could not stop to apologize. His wife
saw the situation and held out her arms
to him, but he was ratified. He wanted
to get off the train. too, and, with a face
of scarlet and mad rush through the
car, he said: ''Oh. it is mistake
Goodbye, everybody" And then he
had gone. The bankers wife, who had
seen the incident, explained to the
strange lady that it was all a mistake, due
to the darkness of the car and their sim
liar dress. The lady whose feelings had
been outraged accepted the situation
and joined in a laugh with the bankers
wife

One Hundred Square Miles Burned Over

HELENA, NJ. T., June 2S.-All efforts to
check the forest fire which started in
Cascade County, near Sand Coules, two
da<s ago, have proved unavailing, and
thus far it has covered an area of over 100
square miles, and has destroyed the
best hay ground in this vicinity. The
loss will be very heavy, owing to the
fact that the dry season had already
greatly reduced the hay crop. No such
prairie fire has been known in Montana
IN recent years. No lives have been re-
ported lost, though several ranchmen
have been burned out.
