A Curious Episode Of the War.

veteran OF the - Connecticut
Regimens OF Volunteers keeps at
home a handsome uniform OF Con
fedsrate officer which was never worn
but by himself, and to which he owes
some months or years OF liberty, II
not life itself.
He was a tailor before the civil war.
and when he was captured oil south
ern battlefield this fact reached the
ears OF the commander OF the prison
ers' barracks.
"Egad III have the Yankee goose
pusher make me a new suit" said the
officer, gazing at his dingy uniform.
The finest gray cloth, gold lace and
bright buttons were brought to the
prisoner. who worked cheerfully away
at the welcome employment. On the
evening the suit was TO be delivered,
however, a bright idea occurred TO
him. and soon what was TO all ap'
pearances spruce Confederate officer
walked past the guards, and was
seen no more in that part OF Dixie.
History kindly draws the veil over
the expletives vented on the nutmeg
Yankee" for not only gaining bis
liberty-he earned that-but for tax
ing that precious suit, which cost 50
many hundred dollars OF good Con
federate money!

Doing the Right Thing.

The train was just pulling out OF
Weston, Mo, for st. Joe, when one OF
the passengers in the smoker put his
head so far out Of the window that a
man near him felt it his duty to utter
a note of warning.
"Yes, it is little risky" replied
the man, as he pulled in his head and
sat down, but | was looking for a
grave in that field. Reckon it hes
been ploughed under and forgotten.
How did they happen to bury him
there?'
It's sad story, gentlemen-very
sad. 1t was just ten years this month,
and | was living here then. a stran-
ger came in from the West with three
horses to sell, and he acted so queerly
that we clapped him in Jail. He
never denied that he stole 'em, and
one night the boys turned out and
hung him to a tree back there. That
used to be our way of discouraging
the business, and believe it is still
practiced further West. We buried
him near the tree, and it was his
grave | was looking for"
Never denied it, eh?'' queried one
OF the listeners.
Never did, although we gave him
every chance. Just week from the
time he was hung We found out that
he was an honest, honorable farmer,
living about forty miles below us.
While he hadn't stolen the horses, he
! had killed a man, and he no doubt
believed we were hanging him fol
that. We felt mean enough when we
discovered that he was no horse thief
and all that he had done was TO POP
a man over. and a Kansas man al
that. and he must have been sadly
puzzled over our conduct. We made
such reparation, as We could. how
ever.
( I'm what wayF'
''Oh, we rounded up the grave
passed resolutions of sympathy fol
/ the wife, sent the horses on home
and a few months later went up anc
married his widow. She's in the mex
car behind.

The Weather in By-eone Winters.

We are indebted to Mr.. Thomas s.
Strider for the following weather
items which he wrote out for us from
his memory, which is bright and ac-
tive for one OF his age:
The winter of 1922 the Shenan-
doah river at Harper's Ferry was froz-
en- over for two months, and farmers
and other persons crossed the river
with their four-horse teams with
wood and other things for four or
five weeks without interruption.
April 1922 the snow fell from the 4th
TO the Sth, 2. feet. January Sth,
1925, festival was given by the citi-
zens OF Harper's Ferry in honor OF
Gen. Jackson's victory at New Or
leans. They roasted 500 pound
beef on the ice OF the Shenandoah
river. The fall of 1890 was very wet
through the months ofNovember and
December, Snow fell on the cath and
OH the morning of e5th, but all disap'
peared by the middle OF the day.
The fall and winter OF lSS0-'3l was
mild until the 18th or Goth ofJanuary,
when snow fell to depth OF l2 to 10
inches and drifted the lanes and roads
in places To such an extent rs to COM
pei people TO make roads through
fields. The weather was not so cold,
although the snow laid till some
time in March. January and Febru-
airy. 1885, the weather was very cold
not much cold but heavy frosts
would fall for several nights in sue
cession The excessive cold destroyed
large number Of peach trees and
large quantity OF oak timber in the
forests. The frozen ground would
bear the weight OF all kinds OF stock.
The winters from 1885 To 1874 were
generally uniform. The fall OF lS43
and winter OF 1874 was mild until the
10th Of February, when IL turned
cold and snow fell on the nights OF
10th and 18th and the ground was
not clear OF snow until about the
middle OF March. Rain during the
fall and winter was sufficient To keep
up vegetation, The winters from
1874 TO 1854 were generally uni form.
and snow fell the latter part OF De-
cember and filed all the deep cuts on
the railroad from Winchester to Har.
per's Ferry. In 1886 the same
thing occurred, with snow. IL took
the train five days to make II trip
from Winchester TO Harper's Ferry.

! OFTEN WONDER WHY IT'S so.

Some find work where some find rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts breai
often wonder why tits so.
Some wills faint where some wills fight,
Some love the tent and some the field;
l often wonder who are right
The ones who strive or those who yield?
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted biavely in the strife;
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fled,
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash,
Some fall back where some move on,
Some flags furl where others fash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above the grave.

he whimpered

This went on for a week, and then
the caucus was held to nominate Mr..
Bowser said he would 20 through by
acclamation, but as the boys would
expect some sort of a speech, not to
say a keg of beer afterwards, he
would have to be on hand. AS soon
as nominated there would be no more

meant election by large majority.

At midnight he woke up, sat up in

Next morning, however, he made
no reference to the matter, and as
some of his party made him believe
that he had been withdrawn in the
interests of harmony, he came home
to-day to observe:

Caldwell, the county seat of BurIesou

1900 inhabitants. It is situated on the
main line of the Gulf, Colorado and San
ia Fe railway, and is I57 miles from GAL
weston, lSS miles from Fort Worth and
2l3 miles from Dallas. II is surrounded
by a country equal to any in the state
for the beauty of its scenery and the fer
tilIty of its soil, and the healthfulnes of
Its climate. 1t has a flourishing and in
creasing trade, but, owing to the want
of sufficient capital, it is not doing as
much trade as it would with adequate
capital for the transaction of the mer-
camille business which legitimately pc
longs to it. And to parties desiring a
good, healthy location for a mercantile
business, it is an inviting field. We now
have number of frst-olass merchants
who are doing each very good bust
ness, chief among whom are Edward
Reeves, who is the oldest and most extern
sive merchant in the county; j. NJ. Fa-

DISASTROUS.
A Serious Accident to Flag Boat at Shrevs-
pOrt-A Leyee Breaks in Several Places 3
and Disaster Follows.

NEW ORLEANS, LA. May "a special
from Shreveport says: About 9 'clook
yesterday morning the large and splendid
United States flag boat, e. W. Howell,
in attempting to go through the draw
span of the railroad bridge struck one of
the stone piers. Her chimneYs were
knocked over and the boiler and lower
decks are mass of debris. The vessel
became entangled in the Orders and is
in precarious condition. BY the COL
lission several men were precipitated into
the river. A white man named John
Merdden was drowned.
The Pandora levee, in Bossier par
ish, near Benton, broke last
night in several places, and the
water is now sweeping over a large
area of country. 1t is q great disaster,
involving heavy losses to hundreds of
planters. The water from these breaks
will reach the Vicksburg, Shreveport
and Pacific railway by morning. A dis
patch from Greenwood gives gloomy
description of the situation in the Black
bayou country. The Red river and coast
line steamer New Haven, with a relief
committee of citizens of this place,
reached that section just in time to save
2S0 people and hundreds of heads of
mules, horses and cattle. There is not
a foot Of dry land in that whole section,
thousands of the most pro-
ductive acres i'll the world.
