SMALL SHOTS.

GEN. GEORGE III. THOMAS is said to
have struck the first hard blow the con-
federates got at Mill Springs, KY. jan
uary 10 and 20, 1862 For this battle
the president issued congratulatory
letter to Gen. Thomas and his troops
Gen. Thomas was one of the most uni
formly successful generals in the union
army, as he won every battle where he
had supreme command of the troops
engaged, and on several occasions
saved the day where he was subordi-
nate.
A STORY is told of Yankee skipper,
whose name unfortunately is not given,
and he is now dead, that he sailed his
vessel into the port of New Orleans
one morning at daylight. Two boat
loads of men came rowing out and
boarded the ship. ''In the name OF the
confederate states of America" etc,
they said. The captain came bounding
from his cabin in his night-skirt who
is on the deck of my ship?" he roared
When he learned who were the men
who wore the gray uniforms he
roared like a bull and threatened to
throw the confederate states of Amer
lea overheard. He ran back and or
dered the stars and stripes to be run
up. AS the old flag went up they
threatened to burn his ship. Burn
my ship!" he beloved. Burn my
ship! Burn it and / will blow your
blasted New Orleans out of the water
And they burned his ship

Cut Ont for a shoppsr.

A little Chicago girl, just arrived at
the dignity of being allowed to go
down town alone once in awhile, is
very fond of buying things, no matter
what, only so that she can ask, receive
and pay the money herself. One day
she saw in a newspaper that firm was
going to sell sugar the next day for a
half-cent pound; of course, for an
advertisement, and on one day only.
She decided to buy some sugar with
her entire capital of two cents. She
persuaded her mamma that her happi.
ness depended on purchasing four
pounds of sugar, and next morning at
eight o'clock she left the house. Ten,
eleven, twelve, three o'clock came and
no little girl. AT four o'clock an anx.
ious mamma started for the store and
found line of people facing side
entrance. The thirty-seventh face from
the door was her little girl, and tightly
gripped in her hand was the two cents.
AS she spied her mother, she said;
"Oh, mamma I'm almost there now!'
And no amount of coaxing could per-
suade her to leave until she got her SUI
gar.-Golden Days.

WAITING FOR THE STAGE.

with the left hand tried to arrange the
tangled lines, while the bullets
whistled by in the dark. He got the
stage into Tombstone with the express
box safe, but two dead men were taken
from the coach.
That was not the work of profess
sional road agent. The main purpose
of the robber is to secure plunder, and
If he does any killing it is either to
prevent somebody from killing him or
to insure the success of the robbery.
The attack upon the Tombstone stage
was the work of a man-killer, who had
turned road agent for one night only,
and for that and other good reasons the
job was generally attributed to Doc
Holiday, a man who left trail OF
blood across every state and territory
between the Mississippi and the Sier-
ras.
A man who understands the art of
highway robbery can hold up any

either by running his knife around the
sack near the bottom, or by making
two slashes criss cross in one side of
the sack. Thanks to Uncle Sans kind
consideration and foresight, he isn't
but finds all the valuable mail sorted
out and neatly done up in an easily.
portable pouch, which he takes along
to open at his leisure in the brush.
OF all the devices and inventions for
the protection of treasure and the cir
cumvention of the road agent, the only
one that has stood the test of time and
experience is big, ugly-tempered
man with sawed-off shotgun on the
box. OF course, when the other fellow
has the drop shotgun is of no more
use than piece of lead pipe; but the
lone road agent can't watch lot of
passengers and driver. and at the
same time keep the drop on a man who
holes, and only wants half chance
to do it. If the robber gets the drop
on the messenger and keeps it, and
contents himself with ordering the
driver to throw out the box, he may
win; but, it is the business of the mar
with the sawed-off shotgun not to let
him get the drop, but to blaze away as
soon as he shows up. The gun is sawed
off for the greater convenience of the
messenger in potting road agents. 1t
is loaded with buckshot and sca6ters
like charge of bribery fired into a
California legislature. The length of
the gun is such that when the muzzle
rests upon the footboard the locks are
level with the messengers knee, and
he can swing it up into position very
readily. If he gets it pointed any
where near the robber, some of the
buckshot are sure to hit
An old Nevada drivers modification
of the messengers gun was single
barreled shotgun worn in his right
boot, the muzzle protruding through
the bottom near the heel When held
up he stuck out his leg toward the rob
ber, as if he were feeling for the brake,
and pulled the trigger. But one hand
was required to work the gun and the
effect was something in the line Of
painful surprise.-San Francisco Ex-
aminer

Thu Art OF Giving up.

Graceful remuneration is a fine art
All of us have to give up, more or less
but few of us seem to understand how
TO make inevitable sacrifice, as it were,
with the open palm. We hang desper-
ately to the departing good las we think
tit may not be good, for us), and
even when it is quite out of our grasp,
we clutch after it with certain con-
vulsive obstinacy that refuses to believe
it can not have all it wants and wills to
have-a melancholy hallucination, and
doubtless, to beings of a higher order
Of intelligence, amusing as well. --Zion'a

Tombstone was infested by Doc Holla-
day and other people of that sort. The
Earps managed to hold things level in
Tombstone, but the road agents bossed
the highway, and in Benson man was
liable to be held up at noon on the
depot platform while waiting for a
train. Budd Philpot, brother-in-law Of
Charlie Foss, the king of stage drivers,
was driving the Benson and Tombstone
stage, and one night somebody tried to
hold him up not many miles from Tom b.
stone. Phifpot had had experience
with road agents, and when he heard
the order to halt came from the dark
ness a little behind the off fore-wheel
he concluded that the robber was a
green hand at the business, and instead
of putting on the brake he gave the
horses the silk and sent them ahead on
the run.
In nine cases out of ten the trick
would have won, as the robber would
have thought it hardly worth while to
fire at a rapidly escaping stage, and
the darkness would have spoiled his
aim if he did fire. But the crack of
Philpots lash was answered by the
crack of Winchester, and Philpot
half sprung to his feet, dropped back
with moan, and swayed in his seat
The messenger, who sat beside him,
threw his right arm around the driver
and with his left seized the lines as
they fell from Philpot'srelaxed fingers.
The Winchester cracked again and
again, and cry from the inside of the
coach told that one of the passengers
had been hit. The frightened horses
flew over the road. The messenger
held the dying driver with one arm, and

with the wells-Fargo box safely slowed
under his feet
The scheme of building an iron box
into the body of the coach worked for
time, but the road agents beat tha,
game by sending the driver and pas
sengers along the road afoot and
breaking into the box at their leisure
with cold chisels. AS they usually con-
cluded the evenings entertainment bv
setting fire to the coach and burning
up one thousand dollars worth of the
company's property, besides running
away with the horses, the stagemen
concluded that the iron-box scheme
didn't pay
Going through the mail sacks used to
be a tedious job for road agent, and it
didn't often pay for the time wasted.
Besides, it doubled the number of pur-
suers by setting all the United States
marshals on the hunt for the robber,
and when caught it landed him in the
United States court and insured a
heavy sentence. Nevertheless a great
deal of money is sent by mail, and, for
the convenience of road agents and
other thieves who may desire to take
the chance of being caught, Uncle Sam
invented the registered letter and it's
especial pouch. No other reason for
the invention of the registered letter
system can be imagined. A registered
letter is not issued, and Uncle Sam will
not pay for it if it is lost or stolen.
The registered mail is put into little
pouch, which is put inside of the regu>
lar mail sack When the road apent
gets hold of mail sack he rips it open,

CRADLE SONG.

Baby, let us both go sailing
In our fairy bark away,
With its silken wings outspreading
To the country OF Cathuy.
Let tho two OF us make voyage
Where in other days have gone
Men and babies, dolts and sages,
All in quest Of Prester John.
Baby, let us both go sailing
To the Persian land away,
There to visit rosy gardens
Atthe dawning OF the day.
As the sun begins its journey
Wen begin the pleasing tramp,
Seeking Aladdin, the lucky,
And his genius OF the lamp.
Baby, let us both go sailing,
Where the calm Pacific lies,
With its sweep of deep blue surface
Spread before our eager eyes.
Let us leave its shores that gladden.
With their palm trees. fruits and flowers,
Till we come to Crusoe's island
By this fairy bark Of ours.
Baby, let us both go sailing
Stormy seas Arabian DER,
Till we find where Sinbad's valley
Has of diamonds countless store;
Then, with gems OF priceless value,
Joyfully returning here,
Some shall shine on baby's trinkets,
Some shall deck its mother dear.
Baby, let us all go sailing,
Sailing to the land afar,
Where amid the four.leaved shamrocks
Dancing nimbly fairies are;
Let us ut their mirthful revel
Take sly and curious peep
All the rogue has sailed without me,
Sailed and found the land of sleep.
Baby by himself is sailing
In n shallop built of dreams,
Over lakes with blossoms circled,
Through the friths OF placid streams.
Crowned with poppies robed with silence,
In his bark reclined at ease,
Who may know how far he wandersH
Who may tell what sights he seess

Speaking of Judge Calhoun suggests
a good story about his middle name,
which is Ezekiel.

judge, ''why he ever put such thing
as Ezekiel in my name, as to the best
of my recollection no family precedent
or close friendship with anybody OF
that name warranted it.

You from ever parting your name in
the middle" and the judge has never
parted it.-Atlanta Constitution.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE SOLDIER IN GRAY.

The armies they had censed to flght
The night was stlli and dark,
And many thousand on the field
Were lying stiff and stark.
The stretcher men had come along
And gathered all they could.
hundred surgeons worked that night
Behind the olump of wood.
They flashed the lanterns In my face,
And as they hurried by,
The sergeant looked and said Hes dend;'
And made no reply.
The bullet had gone through my breast-
No wonder was still;
But once will be nearer death
Than when upon that hill.
A gray-clad picket came along
Upon his midnight beat:
He came so near me that tried
To move and touch his feet
At once he bent and felt my breast
Where life still fought at bay;
No one who loved me could have done
More than this man OF gray.
Ger me all chilled with blood and dew,
His blanket soft he spread;
A crimson shear of wheat he brought
A pillow for my head
Then knelt beside me for nm hour
And bathed my lips and brow;
But Tor the man VINO was my f0e
I'd not be living now
Then as the coming daylight shone, -
He bent his lips TO say:
"God spare you brothsr though you wear
The blue, and the gray.
The sounds of war are silent now;
We call no man our foe,
But soldier hearts can not forget
The scenes Of long ago.
Dear are the ones who stood with US
To struggle or to die;
No one can ever brea he their names
Or love them more than l.
But from my lie L give year,
That gray-clad man to see;
To clasp in love the foemans hand
Who saved my life to me.

Sea-stckness on Shore.

Condolences are among the oldest
things in life. The other day tried
to dine at q restaurant where they
had a lot of fan things hanging from
the ceiling and swinging slowly back
and forth to keep the air and the flies
moving The fans, all gilt and glitter,
kept up their long swell motion so
steadily that soon felt that I wason
board ship and without an appetite
for food, and the feeling so grew upon
me that finally, to avoid an unseemly
exhibition, Twas forced to make my
exit to terra firma and fresh air.

A RECENT traveller in Mexico saws
the natives are unwilling to adopt
modern ways, and it is nearly impos-
sible to make them change. An Eng
lishman engaged in mining put up a
hosting plant, but found at once that
it was money thrown away, as the
workmen would not consent to it's
use. They had long been accustomed
to carry the ore in sacks supported
by broad canvas band passing over
their foreheads, and to receive so
much for each sack delivered at the
mouth OF the shaft. TO get it there
an ascent Of over 200 feet had to be
made by means of Ladders, and ac-
cordingly progress was very slow. But
nothing would induce them to use the
hosting machinery, and it had to bo
abandoned, every man working in the
old fashion.

How the Sailors Got Their Medicine


Curious yarns are spun about the
method of disl ensing medicines fol-
lowed by divers captains at sea. Each
bottle of the medicine chest bears a
distinguishing number. An iIliterate
shlpmaster, having consulted his book
OF medical instructions, found that a.
strong dose from No. bottle was the
proper remedy for sick sailor stand
ing before him. No. 6, however, had
been in great request during the pas
sage, and not a drop remained.
For a moment the amateur doctor
was at loss. An inspiration oppor-
tunely caused his corrugated brow to
smoother. He mixed together por-
tons from bottles No. and No. 4, on
the arithmetical principle that two
and four make six! Deponent sayeth
not what effect, if any, the dreadful
decoction had upon the seaman.
Another story tells equally against
the service. 1t is related that a lieu
tenant, in command of one of Her
Majesty's gunboats, deemed the re-
sponsibillty Of the change of a medi-
cine chest too much for him. I'M
mediately she was off soundings, the
gallant officer mustered all hands,
and divided the contents Of the chest
equally among the crew.
