Mere GOODNESS will often extricate one
from q terrible difficulty, without the
! necessity of recourse to untruthfulness.
| This fact was well illustrated in the
early days of tho Civil War at Belmont,
| KY, where a Confederate force under
| Gen. Cheatham was approaching the
| Union volunteers.
AT that time the uniforms of fedcrals
and C%onfederates -Eere much alike, and
| strange mistakes were sometimes
made.
AS Gen. Cheatham was riding out one
! day, he met a squadron Of cavalry
coming down the road toward his posi-
ton. He had no sure means of know
ing whether the force was friendly or
hostile. He resolved to ascertain.
Riding up accompanied only by an
! orderly, to within q few yards Of the
troop, he asked:
what cavalry is this?"
"Illinois cavalry, sir" was the reply.
ooh, Illinois cavalry" said the Con-
! federate general. "All right; just stay
where you are"
The 1llinoisans had no doubt but that
| the officer was a federal. They obeyed
his order. Cheatham looked about for
a moment, and then rode back to his
own command under the guns Of anoth.
er federal regiment, who, seeing him
come from the cavalry troop, supposed
he was zone of them"

HUNTING THE SKUNK.

A RISKY Hut PrOhtn bic Trade In

In the fall skunk hunting is a popular
sport among the mel and boys Of the
back country Of Connecticut. The hunt
usually takes place on the young O the

club or pole from eight to ten feet long.
they take to the field about 8 o'clock in
the evening. The polecat has SIN un-
canny preference for cemeteries, and,
If there is. within a reasonable dis

the game is sighted the hunter adj
vances stealthily, and if he manages to
get within striking distance without

There is q quick blow of the club, care
fully aimed, and the polecat's days are
ended.
From the fatty substance. taken from
the animal the country people try an

freely used by them in severe eases of

rheumatic affections. The true value
Of the animal lies in it's pelt. In the
majority of skunk pelts there is a white
stripe running from the head to the
tail. These are classed as striped skins.
When the white stripe extends only
half way along the back it is a half
stripe skin. A black pelt has but very
little white in it, and it brings a much
higher price than either Of the other
classitications. Formerly the hides went
slowly at 10 cents apiece; but a stripe
and a half stripe now brings the trapper
from 80 cents to 81, and q black skin
goes at 81, 5O.-Scientifc American.
