General jackson was then lieutenant
of artillery, commanding a section
composed of two guns. In certain
action he was ordered to occupy GER
tain position and open fire upon the
enemy. His two guns were started
for the place, which was very exposed,
and before reaching it he saw that he
could not remain there ten minutes
without losing every horse and man
he had. At the same time he saw that
by moving some 300 yards away his
fire would be more effective. But his
orders to open fire must be obeyed, SO,
reaching the designated position, the
two guns were fired. Then they we're
hmbered up and moved to the new po-
sition, aud fire was opened in earnest

day as Jackson was passing under his

ROadmaking.

John Loudon Maeadam was a County

treatises on roadmaking Of areyoht-

to make roads by laying down layers
of broken stone, which he said would
become hardened into solid mass by
the traffic passing over them.

much ridicule, but he persevered, and

It's an odd thing, but there are a
number of people who have distinct
antipathy to tR screech owl and can
not listen to n-slngle burst Of its hill

owl is supposed by the negroes on
southern plantations to be in direct
communication with all the ghosts .
and ''giants" Of the forests He plays
a great part ia the more wierd folk

superstition in regard to the screech
owl is that if You will take your shoe

time you hear an owl laugh and turn
the shoe sole upward on the floor and
place your stocking foot on the
bottom of the shoes sole the owl will
stop laughing and fly for ten miles

Hint to the Speaker.

Doctor Hildreth, IN his ''Afem ofrs
the early Settlers Of Ohio, devotesz
q chapter to Abraham Whipple, Of
Rhode Island. He was born In
1913, and was one OF the nfst to take
hand in the Revolutionary War.
In 1886 he was elected q represent
alive to the legislature from the,
town Of .Crarston.
The advocates of the paper money
system were then in power, and had
chosen Othniel Gorton, clumsy old
man, for Speaker. 4 .s
Gorton was in the habit of keeping
a large guild of tobacco in one side OF
his mouth which pressed out his cheeks.
Most OF the debat ors we're on the oppo-
site side of the hall fromthat onwhich
Commodore Whipple sat, and the
speakers face was commonly turned
that way.
Once in the course of the debate
Whipple had cogitated a speech,
which he waited for an opportunity
to deliver. Atlast, out Of patience,
he rose and called, "Mr. Speaker!"
The Speaker, whose face was turned
the other way, did not hear him. He
raised his voice to it's utmost, .Mr.
Speaker!' r.. s&
Gorton started, and turning to The
commodore, said, II hear YOU
Thereupon Whipple began:
II wish, Mr.. Speaker, you would
shift your quid of tobacco from your
larboard jaw, that it might give your
head q cant this way, SO that you
would sometimes hear something from
this side of the house."
Then he went on with his speech.
