A seasl,ore Episode.

Here is story about well-known
New York woman. She was at Kew
East for while this summer, and COM
ing up dripping like q naiad from the
sea one day hurried to her bath house.
She had dropped her salty garment on
the floor and was reaching up for her
frills when to her horror she discovered
that in place of frills hung trousers.
She was in the wrong bath house.
She could not get back into the wet
clothes she had discarded, and as for
going forth la Lady Godiva that was
impossible. So she did the only thing
possible. got into the trousers and
other masculine effects and stalked
forth, assuming fierce and manly air.
Now what next step should she take?
She did not dare venture to her own
bath house for fear of meeting some
one who should know her, so she
quietly hurried to the beach to think it
over. She had not been sitting long
by the sad sea waves when, looking up,
she saw approaching, her gown, her
jacket, her sailor hat-and on man!
the man whose toggeries she was wear
ing. Explanations followed, some tears
and much laughter, and history says
the twain went up to the hotel together
and were ever after great friends.

now the maiden of that camp-meeting
pulls down the neat little plum of
$63, 900. The Captain was James Fl.
Miller; the maiden was Jennie James,
the daughter of the postmaster at
James Switch, Ind, the banner bearer
of the chief Sunday school Of the
Switch, and the belle of that section
adjacent to Indianapolis. James Mil
ler's infatuation for the curls extended
to the entire personality Of Miss Jen-
ME, and when his regiment was or
dored to Virginia he took away the
heart and gold ring of Miss Jennies.
The heart got back to her, but the
ring never. She tired of waiting for
Capt. Jimmie and married another sol
der. She has married two other SOL
diers since. Mr.. Miller married, too,
but the ring he had taken from that
curly headed lass always kept her
memory fresh with him. Sc the other
day when he died he left her $63, 900.
Mrs. Jennie, whose last husbands name
was Rowland, was living in poverty in
Chicago at the time she received the
news of her good fortune. She has
since removed to Indianapolis.

the day, he was shot through the pit
of the stomach and fell dead. He rose
from sleep greatly depressed. The
Colonel of his regiment perceived his
gloom, and, after much questioning,
discovered the cause. "You are un-
WE'LL" the Colonel said, in kindest
tones: you must not go into the fight !;
I will have you sent to the rear; you
are too valuable an officer for us to
lose; will have the Doctor order you
to report yourself on the sick list. "
GNo," was the reply, ut shall never be
said that Capt. r suffered his
men to go into battle, without leading
them himself" No persuasion could
induce him to keep out of the fight.
He led his men calmly; early in the
battle he was shot through the stom-
ach and fell dead.
The news of his death was tele-
praphed to his brother in Portland.
He started at once for Gettysburg, go
ing by way of Baltimore. Arrived at
the field, he saw some soldiers OF his
brothers company sitting near q rail
fence. Pushing on, he passed brook.

bearing his brothers name, and so
marking the temporary grave. But ne
soon discovered that he could not raise
the body without much assistance.
ACCORDINGLY, he returned to the group
of soldiers and asked them to load
themselves with the rails Of the fence.
This they did, and all advanced to tne
grave. It was necessary to lay down
some of the rails in order that they
might walk and get close to the grave.

"Aunty Badly" is the name bv which
the oldest lady in Terre Haute, Ind, is
familiarly known. She celebrated her
1Olst birthday anniversary on the oath
OF last October. On Oct. "A, 1889, at
Saratoga, n. Y, was born child
named Ann Pixbury. She was the
only daughter of family of seven
children, and her parents were of the
humble farm folk of that section.
Iwenty-four years later Ann was mar

and her husband emigrated to Indiana.
They settled in Terre Haute just three
years after the place was founded.

time the widow has made Terre Haute
her home, and by her gentle manner
and sunny disposition has made her
self welcome at many fresides.
Up to few years ago she read the
daily papers and told incidents of her
past life to friends, and did her own
homework. Time has borne heavily
upon her recently, and her faculties
have been very much impaired. Since
her eyesight failed her, her greatest
pleasure has been to sit through the

years old when the death of Washing

inexhaustible fund of stories of his
youth. Dawson's youngest child is IS

ROMANCE OF THE REVOLUTION

a brave Young oficer Perishes in Battle
| and His Sweetheart Dies OF u Broken
Heart
On the ancient battlefield of Stone
Arabia at Palatine, this State, was
found recently a metallic box, the con-
tents OF which reveal sad romance of
century ago. In the box, which was
Sbegrimmed with the rust of MANY
years. was POUNDS gold locket, contain
ing miniature of q young LADY, of rare
beauty, and bundle of letters written
upon parchment and tied with a faded
piece of blue ribbon. The letters were
addressed to Capt. Lowe, brave young
officer Of the British Army during the
Revolutionary war, and were written
by the lady whose portrait appears in
the locket, Lady Alice Douglass, be-
longing to one of Britain's noblest fam
lilies and to whom Lowe was betlothed.
The letters are written in the most ten
! der language and through the last one
/ IN the packet, written Just before the
battle of Stone Arabia, runs strain of
sadness, as if the fair young writer had
a presentiment that she would never
again meet her lover, and she longs for
his return.
This story of love. war, death, is an
interesting one. When very young
Capt. Lowe joined the British army.
While ini London with his regiment he
met Lady Douglass, and a friendship
fsprang up between them. It ripened
into love and they became engaged.
About this time, Capt. Lowe was sent
to America to join in the fight against
the colonists. He served with distinc-
9tion and was with Sir John johnson
when he made his celebrated raid
through the Mohawk valley in 1880.
At Stone Arabia, on their way down
the valley, the English with Capt.
Lowe in command, encountered small
body of Americans, commanded by the
brave, fearless Col. John Brown. The
fight was short, the Americans lost.
Col. Brown was killed and Capt. Lowe,
at the head of his forces. fell mortally
wounded. A comrade knelt beside
him and raised him in his arms. The
dying soldier, with his last expiring
strength, drew from his bosom the box
that has just been found and handed it
to his companion.
Take il" he whispered, "and carry
it to Alice. Tell her that I died
bravely and that my last breath spoke
her loved name"
They buried him on the field of bat
tie, with his martial cloak around him
for shroud. Here also was laid at
rest the brave American commander.
Side by side they lie, the patriot and
the invader, as repose Wolfe and Mont
calm on the plans of Abraham.
The companion to whom Lowe in
trusted the casket hastily concealed it
by burying it near stump in the
field, expecting to return for it after
the pursuit of the flying Americans.
The British army never returned, how
ever, aud the metallic box lay buried
near its dead owner for more than q
century.
Miss Douglass, the fair young be-
trothed, waited many weeks and months
for tidings, of her absent lover. Her
], sa,.iA is.i1Fa rapidly and when st
sleneth the sad news came of his death
she could NOT stand the shock. The
marble headstone which marks her
grave bears the pathetic inscription,
Died of Broken Heart"

up our old avocations just where we
had left them when the struggle COM

the conquered South. We paroled our

But. boys" continued the Colonel,
after pause, II am not sure that we
did right in that pardoning business.
When ! think of the DAYS / spent in
Libby Prison, slowly starving to death
for the want of sufficient nourishment
to keep body and soul together;
when I think how 1 lay on
that hard bare floor, with the gan
creme in my wound eating IFS wtasy ~
lack of little medical treatment;
when I remember that I was not
considered fit subject for exchange
until death was staring me in the face,
and the death-dew was standing on my
forehead when remember that I was
so weak and emaciated that I could
not raise my head from the deck of the
steamer to view the scenery, as was
being transported down the river on
the exchange boat; when 1 recollect
that I, naturally man of iron, was re-
duced by neglect and starvation to a
mere skeleton Of ninety pounds, cover
ed with vermin and p,ltrefying with
disease-and all this right under the
eyes and by the direction of the leaders
Of the Southern Confederacy; when I
think of those times, I say I feel as
though, if had had my way in the
matter, would have separated those
leaders from their misguided followers
and held little drum-head court
martial right then and there; and I
would have secured the longest and
strongest log. chain that had ever been
forged in christendom; and would
have tied one end OF the same around
the necks of those rebel leaders, and
the other end around the beams Of
hell: and would have strung them up
so high that their toe-nails would just
drag the mud stills of damnation"
