cou,arRY roWN EDITORS.
Some Reasons why They Are Nearly Al
ways Poor and Uahnppy.

Although country editors are nearly
always poor. there are plenty OF per-
sons who believe that half the para
graphs In n country newspaper are
paid for with enormous brides. writes
the author OF "A Country Town." In
the Century. There are always two
sides to every question, aud whichever
side m editor falls on. the partisans OF
the other accuse him OF being
bought" 1t Is little wonder. there
fore, that the editor is seldom pOpu-
lar man; never knew one who was.
and ! never knew one who was not
often accused upjustly. Probably the
people believe In brides to editors be-
cause 1t is very rare editor who does
not accuse his opponent OF being u
bride taker. creating prejndice
against themselves and their calling.
Lazy and incompetent editors nearly
always explain the success OF their
more vigorous opponents by declaring
that they carry on system Of black
mail.
once visited In a large city the
newspapers which had long admired
almost with reverence. aud was sur.
prised to hear citizen say that what
the city really needed was better pm

tai" Every citizen Of q country town
wants his locality doomed" to the
end that he may sell his $50 lot for
$500; he can appreciate how q really
good paper might aid him in this. and
because his lot does not advance in
value as he thinks it should. he has a
grievance against the editor. He longs
for an editor with some snap" in
him. / don't know what ''snap"
means. but l know this is the quality
usually thought to BIZ lacking. There
are more great men in every country
town than really exist in the entire
nation, and IL they are not recognized
the local papers are Of no account. /
was once bothered a good deal by q
certain man who said he could clean
more chickens in an hour than any
other chicken-cleane In tho world,
and he wanted the fact mentioned.
Men who arc never suspected Of great
ness by other people accuse themselves
Of it to the editors. and when they re-
fuse to mention this greatness they are
told that their columns contain great
deal Of stuff not half so interesting.
It has occurred to me that when citi-
zen of country town becomes drunk
the first thing be does Is to hunt up
the editor and tell him what is the
matter with the community.

Of 10 (wbcn the color Of the eyes Is

Ihe Third corps had met with q reverse at
the right of Little Round Top, and my
corps, the Fifth, ran up from its reverse
position to take tho place of Sickles' men.
Through the smoke of the battle after
we had climbed Little Round Top, a brother
officer loaned me his glass and pointed
out the confederate corps commander.
Longstreet looked grand as he sat calmly
on his horse, evidently giving directions
for another forward movement, which we
were soon after compelled to meet. 1t is
related of him that he never seemed fur
ried in the heat OF battle. and issued his
orders in the most matter-of-fact way. He
was a grand horseman and entirely at home
in the saddle.
Major-General Joseph Hooker was proba-

ever rode at the head of a federal army.
He was a true soldier of the old type, had

Mcclellan the Beau Ideal of a Horseman-
Longstreet a Colossus on His Steed.
Major Geo. f. Williams in The Rider and
Driver: Major General Geo. b. Mcclellan
was one Of the handsomest men on horse
back in the federal service. He sat in the
saddle with a grace and ease peculiarly his
own. All his appointments were in the
most correct taste, and his horses were full
blooded animals. Wearing highly polished
riding boots. coming up nearly to his hips,
and wrlnkled from the instep to the knee,
he would go slashing over the roads until
| horse, rider and boots were covered with
Virginia mud, probably the stickiest
substance in existence. His servants
for the general on his return to
headquarters after which the man would
spend Il couple of hours cleaning the other
pair. The soldiers at Yorktown used to say
that 'Little Mack'' could collect more
mud in an hours time than any other gem
eral in the army. Mcclellan always rode
Mt a slapping pace. and saw that his staff
were well mounted. for nothing more dis
pleased him than their inability to keep up
with him. He was very cool on the battle
field. and used to ride from point to point
in the calmest manner. Without attempt
ing the cavalry seat or style, Mcclellan had
at all times q perfect command over his
charger. His knowledge Of horse-tlesh is
shown by the invention Of the Mcclellan
saddle, the easiest for man or beast ever
made.
General William Tecumseh Sherman was
a nervous and somewhat careless rider. He
wore his stirrup feathers very long, seeming
to be almost all the time standing in the
irons. This appearance was intensified by
his habit of rising in his stirrups on reach
ing a turn in the road or some advantage
GUS point Of observation. While always
careful of his animals, Sherman did not
appear to have that fondness for them that
is 80 common among good horsemen. He
was constantly On the go and his eye
seemed to be everywhere except were his
horse was trending.
Sherman's rein was rather n loose one, for
he trusted, apparently, to the natural ga
Qacity of his steed rather than to his own
guidance. Seen at the hend of u column of
troops, or giving orders for their DISPOSE
ton on the field, Sherman presented a re-
markable figure. Riding along the road he
was constantly gazing about him noting
tho lay Of tho land passed over, as il inter-
nally planning how u battle could he fought

was magnificent on horseback. His bulky
figure and enormous beard gave him the

had in the early part of December, which
should be taken advantage Of by long easy
spins. When n thaw end this skating re-
sort should again be taken to walking and
running. About Christmas the winter
usually sets in and there is generally skat-
ing to DO had daily. As the muscles have
now become hardened, the skater takes
short spins at top speed besides taking a
good long skate at a moderate rate.
Skaters who go in for raoing are not like
runners, who are divided into sprinters,
middle distance and long distance men,

their specially. hut must race all distances

sleep. The skater should be clothed in
warm WOODEN clothes of soft texture that
will give with the motion of the legs and
body.
During the winter there are numerous
warm DAYS and the streets are generally
filled with running water and snow and
slush which would give one the impression
that there was no skating to be had, but
placing q thermometer in a shady spot and
watching it, one may often be able to In
dulge in a spin which, from outside indi-
cations, it would look impossible. On a
day when the sun does not shine very
brightly the ice remains hard until the
thermometer reaches AZ degrees above zero.
When the sun is very bright, skating can
be had at 80 degrees. One must always
bear in mind that it is always colder in an
open space, az on a river or lake, than IN
cities where the houses are grouped.
In the first part of the winter comes the
old caution: 'Do not venture on the ice
until it is safe.'' Most people think it should
be four inches thick, which, however. will
hold a horse. AS soon as the ice is two
inches thick it is safe. l always get on the
ice as soon as it reaches one and a half
inches and l weigh 160 pounds at the be-
ginning of the winter. The first of the
winter the ice is strong and elastic and two
will hold as much weight as four
inches in the latter part of the season when
it becomes soft and spongy.
