A pleasant little story comes from
Indiana OF small rosy-cheeked girl
who. picking up her doll and her
dolls trunk. trudged mile or more
over frosty roads until she reached a
railroad station. There she boarded
the first train for Chicago. and con-
tentedly settled herself and her doll in
vacant seat. By-and-by the con-
ductor came along and looked down
at the little woman. who was point
ing out flying trees and other points
of interest TO her companion, the
doll. Where are you going. little
onepn asked the big man with buttons.
The round blue eyes were turned
upward In astonishment. and the reply
came unhesltatingly. why, I'm go
ing To the Worlds Fair OF courselr
The conductor coughed. Aren't you
rather early?" he asked. II don't
believe the doors are open yet. v
Dear me-. said the child. In alarm.
what shall | do?n perhaps you
had better go homo and ask your
mother" suggested tho conductor.
And she did. She was loaded with
pretty things by interested fellow
passengers. and returned 10 her moth
or In safety. We may reasonably ex-
pect that she will be among the first
visitors when the Worlds Fair does
open It's doors TO the world. Golden

writer met Gen. Cable. and Is sure
the boys will remember him. as he
charged them at Fayetteville, Ark
where he gave the Union forces
very hard fight He met him at Dali
las Texas. some two years ago. where
he heard him make a speech which
the rebels cheered. After he was
through the writer asked him how II
came that when he charged Fayette-
vile. Ark. he left so soon afterwards,
TO which he could give no answer.
The only reason the writer can see
for his leaving so soon was that they
gave him too many minie-balls. and
there was too much show Of cold steel
TO suit him.

Johnnie was young and rosy re-
cruit in Kentucky regiment brave
In action and favorlte in camp. He
often expressed wish that the war
might not end until he had received
his scar.
One day in 1868. while the army OF
Gen. Rosecrans was resting ut Muir
freesboro Tenn, recruiting from the
effects OF Stone river. the company 10
which Johnnie belonged was ordered
out as guard TO wagon train that
was pulling out on n foraging expedi-
ton Our line OF march was on the
line OF the Shelbyville turnpike, where
we found some well-filled corn cribs.
While the wagons were being loaded
Johnson's company took up position
across the turnpike, n mile In adj
vance, while other companies guarded
the other approaches.
The enemy was not long In discov-
ering our object and attacking our
position. which we had strengthened
by IA rail and log barricade. During
these attacks johnnie persisted in
pccdlessly exposing himself in the
hope that he might be wounded. AT
the moment OF one OF the fiercest ef-
forts TO dislodge Us, Johnnie mounted
the barricade and yelled derisively at
the enemy. but In shorter time than IL
requires TO write IL. he leaped TO the
ground. with one hand clasping the
aide OF his neck, and danced with
glee.
Wounded
When the enemy withdrew and the
wound was examined. il was found 10
be SO slight that no hopes OF scar
could be entertained. Tears and pro-
Iahity followed. and Johnnie finished
the war unscarred. Pioneer Press.
