Detroit Free Press, as the crowd settled down
to listen, that usually gets any especial pleas

unDatriotic, too, but enjoyed it Just the same.
There was a colonel in our brigade who was
about as pompous and overbearing as any man
ever served under, and there wasn't a boy in
his regiment that liked him. One day down on
the Potomac he thought he would do a little
scouting on his own hook. for he had a good
deal OF nerve, aud about fifty of us went along
with him. The result OF IL was that we were
surprised by about 200 Johnnies who scattered
the squad and captured the colonel aud dozen
or more OF his men. l was in the lot. and after
the scrap was over the Johnnie officer ranged
US up in front of him to examine his find. He
was nard-looking citizen-solder, and his men
were no better. Old clothes, SLOUGH hats, boots
out at the toes, and a general air Of tramp per-
vaded the entire organization. The colonel was
thoroughly disguised and made no effort to
concealiU.
:" Who are you? asked the Johnnie, picking
him out first, of course.

crate army, and give you uniform suitable to

for the colonel's nice new uniform, the other
chaps traded with us on the same terms, and
when we marched into the Johnnies' camp we
were about the worst looking lot of union
soldiers you ever saw. But the joke was on the
colonel, and l think we rather enjoyed it, par.
ticularly as we were recaptured next day and

The railway official, says the Chicago Trib-

asked sharply:
"Did you draw this map?'
"Yes, sir" replied the young man.
And you call yourself an expert in your

of it, and was particularly careful with that
map. Everything was measured off even to

This seems to be sacred phrase
With reverence impassioned;
A thing come down from righteous days

have originated in Macon and Atlanta-par-
ticularly Administrative TO the affairs of
the road. So unreasonable are some of
them that the only possible theory as to
their origin is that they are deliberately
manufactured simply to crafty the desire
for something sensational
One Of the most senseless of these reports
was that no lease of the Central to the Geor.
gia Pacific had ever been executed. Who
ever started 1t must have assumed that the
Centraps directors deliberately deceived the
Central's minority stockholders, and were
false to the trust reposed in them.
There must be thousands of people in this
state who have seen copies of the lease. If
there was no lease upon what did Mrs.
Clarke base her bill for a temporary re-
ceiver and an injunctiona Her lawy ers
must have had copies of the lease when they
prepared her case for the court. There could
be no printed copies unless there was an
original. To suppose there could be would
be to assume that the parties whose names
appear in the copies as signers Of the lease,
and whose acknowledgements taken by a
notary appear there also. are unworthy of

Il is TO be expected, Of course, that q good
many rumors relative to the Centrars

IT is not unlikely that events of
the next two or three years will fur
nish very gratifying proof of the
splendid possession which Indiana
has in her natural gas. This cheap
fuel gives the natural gas region an
immense advantage over any other
manufacturing district in the coun-
try. This advantage is so great that
some manufacturing industries
which, in other parts of the country,
are dependent on protection for their
very existence, can be carried on
profitably in the gas region without
protection. This exceptional con-
dition may inure immensely to the
advantage Of Indiana by causing a
rush of manufacturing industries to
the State which could not exist else
where. The abundance, cheapness
and apparent inexhaustibility of this
unequaled fuel supply may thus give
Indiana precedence as a manufacture
ing State over any other section of
the country.

EVERYBODY knows that aluminium
is a wonderful metal. It has ever
been proposed to build ships out Of it
but not until the other day was it re

the fabrication Of false noses. Thi.
fact is not without its importance in
these days, when so many political,
noses are out of joint, and when theil
owners may be tempted to replace
them. Aluminium is delightfully."-
white and does not color under the
influence of generous wines like the
human proboscis. The aluminium
nose can be covered with flesh paint,
which can be removed at will, and it
has so many other advantages that its
value must be admitted.
