poorly attended, and the performance

last minute. The ones who were left
endeavored to fill out the programme to
the best OF their ability.

from their surprise at The discovery, a Con-
federate cavalry regiment swung out from
their shelter and charged on the center of
Kesters line. Back went the skirmishers,
flag and all, through broad piece of
woods where Hart had first started up the
Seventh Virginia. to slender line of sup
ports that had been hastily sent to Kester's
aid. A volley from those welcome sup
ports put a check on Rosser's mad ride,
and instantly the bearer of the Jersey col
ors, Sergeant James Dalziel, wheeled
about and rode at the enemy full tilt. The
Jersey skirmishers on either side of the
road caught sight of the banner streaming
to the front again. On over the same
ground, through the same woods, dotted
here and there with the dead bodies and
fallen steeds of Jerseymen and Virginians
the skirmishers once more pursued up to
the Confederate cannon and line of battle.
A fresh body of Rosser's men answered
the challenge by a countercharge, and the
Jerseys again sullenly retired. Farther
back they were driven this time, often at n
gallop, until once more they were covered
| by supporting comrades The moment the
whole line had come to halt and again
| faced about, Dalziel lifted the staff on high,
and with tremendous flourish of the ban

RELIC OF OVER NINETY BATTLES.
wilderness, and the infantry was Hancock's
veterans hurrying across country to the
field on the famous Plank Road. Jeb
Stuart's cavalry was pushing down the
Spottsylvania and Fredericksburg pike to
strike the flank of Hancock's column and
cut it off from the Plank Road.
The Union cavalry outposts had been
strung out thinly over vast field, and
Stuart put speedy end to the weak oppo-
sition they could offer to his maneuver
Hancock's flank march, which was counted
upon to save the day at the Wilderness, was
in serious danger of coming to grief when
the First Jersey reached the point where
his column turned off from the Spottsylva-
MIA road. Cavalry skirmishers, closely pur-
sued by Stuart's squadrons- were yielding
ground in front Colonel John w. Kester
had succeeded Colonel Wyndham in com
mand of the Jerseys and had been with the
regiment in all of the fifty and odd encoun-
tiers since Harrisonburg. The leading squad
ron, under Captain James H. Hart, was
sent at gallop up the pike, and Colonel
Kester followed with two squadrons in sup
port. With him rode the color guard and
the flag. Harris men, riding in column,
struck the Seventh Virginia cavalry and
drove it back to the main line.
The enemy quickly rallied and turned
upon Hart, who deployed his line into
skirmishers and fell back fighting in Indian
fashion To succor Harris isolated band.
Colonel Kester deployed all the men in
hand on both sides of the pike, stationing
the colors in the road. Moving up to meet
Hart, the additional skirmishers gave a
cheer and opened fire so rapidly that Harris
pursuers gave way. Kester then looked
around for his supporting squadrons ant
found that he was entirely alone with {
skirmish line of $50 men to oppose who'll
brigade of Confederates under General Ros
ser. Only the color guard of dozen men
clustered about the flag in the roadway
represented the reserve to $50 skirmishers
The colonel formed this slender guard
and with a brilliant flourish of the color
dashed along the pike. When abreast
the skirmishers on either side of the road
the thin ranks advanced on II line with tn
flag, firm and unbroken, through scatter
ing hail of canister from Rosser's hors
batteries until they struck solid array O
dismounted men, behind which the fleein
Confederate troopers were rallying. Bt
fore the Jersey skirmishers could rail-

After he had made the acquaintance of Mr..
Platt and had called on him several times
in routine way he laid a proposition be-
fore the politician in about these words:
"Mr Platt," said the reporter, ~ should
like to have your confidence. | know that
there are many things oftentimes that can
not be published the knowledge of which
would still be of great benefit to a newspa-
per man. At the same time it light some
times be of great benefit to a leading poll
tician to be able to command the services
and the confidence Of a good political re
porter such AS | hope to make of myself.
If you will take me into your confidence,
will agree never To betray it and on my
part will render you all the assistance in my
power whenever and as you desire it"
Mr.. Platt looked at the reporter fixedly
for full minute.
"I'll think that over, he said, land when
have turned it sufficiently in my mind
I'll send for you"
1t was some weeks before the reporter
heard from the politician. Then he re-
ceived an imperative summons, and upon
calling on Mr.. Platt was told long and
interesting story concerning some then re
cent political developments
'That's good story, isn't itS" said the
leauer. buU L III nOG rcduy 10 nave IL
printed now, and by your compact you
must hold it till give the word"
The reporter promised, of course, think
ing the while that there were two sides to
everything and later getting almost fran
tic when, too late at night to do anything
with the story himself, he heard that near
ly every paper in town but the one to which
he was attached had received the story told
to him in such confidence by Mr.. Platt.
The next morning he found it in his paper,
as well as the others, and FASTENED to
Platt's Office
well, you kept your word" said the
politician, "as hoped you would, and your
paper had the story, too, as you see. want
ed to test you, but didn't want you to get
left, of course. Now have the points for a
story for you alone, which you may print
| tomorrow"
| My friend says that the reporter in ques
ton has long since stepped to higher level
| than he held at that time in his business
| but he never has regretted that he did no,
| disappoint Mr.. Platt when the latter ap
piled his unique test.

1t is not generally known that all the
Confederate States eiCher grant pensions to
or have homes for Confederate soldiers.
The total number Of pensioners and in
mates of homes in all these states-Ala-
bama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia-is 27,055,
and the amount paid annually in pensions
and the maintenance of homes is about
81, 126, 1856 There are also Confederate homes
IN Maryland and Missouri, with go in
mates, which were maintained last year at
a total cost for the two states of S24 900,
The regulations and methods vary SO ma
terally in the different states that it has
been found impossible properly to classify
the payments.
