Testimony differs as to the feeling Of
the soldier on going into fight, and the
many experiences related by Grand
Army men to their always willing lis
teners show that in their war histories
there was no uniformity of either fear
or daring. The major of a New Hamp-
shire regiment said: Il always felt
timid when the shot began to reach us,
but as soon as we got into action ! was
carried away by excitement. am not
usually profane man, and l have no
recollection of talking roughly to my
troops, yet a good many of them have
assured me that all through fight |
would swear like-well like trooper. y
Another man, colonel, said "lts
all nonsense to say that man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of a fight and all
through it. OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said of General Sum
ner that he was the only man who grew
bolder as he grew older, but the only
man ever saw who really seemed to
want to fight, and to enjoy it after he
was in it, was Custer. New York Sun.

He was the chronic car joker on that line

without guying the conductor, or left it
without raising a general laugh at the
company's or trainmen's expense. One
day, however, he arrived late at the sta

out ticket. He had just caught his
breath, after seating himself with the usual
daily crowd of fellow travellers, when the
conductor appeared.

joker, in his usual vein, and the crowd
awaited its daily guy.

traveller picked out twenty dollar bill,
but did not pass it up.

the receipt was duly punched out he took
it and began long and labored inspection
of it, still holding on to his twenty dollar

conductor with superfuous questions: "En.

AS the conductor began to tire of the
business, the funny man handed over his
twenty dollar bill and suddenly drew it
back, adding, "One question more: Is this
through train?" "Bet your life," replied
the conductor, taking the bill; "and what
is more" he added, pocketing the bill and
deliberately moving away, tits through

smiled at the funny man and his disappear

Some Rare Shells.

The Cypraas are most attractive fam
lily to the shell lover, a large number of
species being known. One is used as
money in Africa, and in 1913 over six tons
were shipped by England alone. The
orange cowry, the name suggested by its
color, is a rare form, and few years ago a
good specimen would command large
price. Thousands of the various kinds are
brought into the United States every year
and sold for various purposes, the tiger
cowry being the most common.

One might suppose that the period in
which we now live has some pretensions to
originality in its literary fads at least. But
here is a century old newspaper declaring
that "4, 073 novels are now in the press
from the pens of young ladies OF fashion"
In spite of the hyperbole, it is quite evil
dent that novel writing was positively cpl
demic. "At Mrs. D-'s school," says The
Times, call the young ladies write novels
in the fourth class" 1t might be some
consolation to the literary pessimist to dis

A Lawn Game.

Tetherball is new game of Eng
lish origin which possesses the pro-
nounced advantage of being played IN
a few feet of lawn or courtyard. A
post eight feet high is set up, and to
this is attached cord having at its end
a ball. The space of the grounds may
influence somewhat the length of the
string. which should be, however, not
less than eight nor more than ten feet
long. The ball is set in rotary motion,
and with tennis racquets the two play
ers endeavor in turn to hit 1t. Inc
game is said to be exciting. and decld-
edly a warm contest, as the ball proves
yery elusive. Exchange.
