The colors of this grade are aptly chosen

Atlanta Constitution.
The late President Hayes was at one time
the target of Georgia Confederate.
1t was only by scratch that his life was
saved and that the Ohio colonel afterward
became President.
The scene was on the Gouley River In

For some days General Floyd had been
skirmishing with General Cox's Ohio troops

deliberate aim at the Buckeye soldier.

LINGERING VETERANS.
Men Who Fought With Wellington,
Napoleon and Nelson.

London Graphic
Less than a year has elapsed since the
death of the last French survivor Of the
battle of Trefalgar, triumph of British
naval skin and vigor which stultifed the
projects of Napoleon the Great for the SUBJ
jugation of this country, and temporarily
obliteraed the French navy from the list of
important factors in the problem Of Euro
pean politics
OF the mary tremendous reverses suffered
on land and sea by the forces of France
under the regime of the First Empire four
in particular may be said TO have perma-
nently affected the destnies If civilized
mankind. These were Nelson's supreme
victory off Cape Trafalgar. the battle of
the Nations hard by Leipzig. the tragical
Retreat from Moscow" and that Hateful
encounter which Byron Indignantly stg-
matizes as "the browning carnage. Water
loo"
Our own times have been so rife with
military achievements of the first moment
that those mighty war feats, although per-
formed during the current century, seem as
far removed from men of the present day
as Benheim and Families, or even Poitiers
and Agincourt. Yet there are veterans still
living in half dozen European realms who
took part in the.eampaigns of 1913 14-15. and
only few days ago, in a quiet Norfolk
township an old soldier OF the Grand Army
passed peacefully away who had witnessed
tie horroTs of the terrible march from Boro-
dino TO the western frontier of Poland,
which ensued upon the burning of Moscow
and the disastrous evacuation OF Central
Russia by the Napoleonic hosts.

A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE.
How You Can Be Sure You Are Get
ting Ii,
st. Leuis Republic.


A really good cup of coffee is at all times
q luxury, and one that is very frequently
difficult to obtain. Simple as the operation
of making 1t appears. it is not every one who
understands how TO produce a more than
barely palatable drink.
IL you wish to make the French drip
coffee. for every cup OF coffee you need
use heapng teaspoonful of pulverized
coffee and place it in the canvas strainer
on the top of the coffee-pot, pouring a
cup of water for every teaspoonful
OF coffee. Be sure TO have the water
brought to first boil, pouring it
over the coffee after 1t has passed through
the straiuer. Pour the contents of the
liquid in warm vessel emptying it back
two or three times over the contents of the
coffee In the strainer. The result will be
good cup Of coffee as clear as wine and
grateful food and stimulant.
Sc the following directions to make plain
coffee: First purchase the coffee only in
whole berry, grinding it coarse as wanted.
For each cup OF coffee needed use a table,
spoonful Of the ground coffee, not heaping.
Mix the ground coffee with an egg and add
cupfu of boiling water for each spoonful
OF coffee used. Let 1t boil five minutes, re-
move from the fire. add little cold water
and let 1t settle. The result will be de-
liciOuS cup OF coffee.

Two Minutes of Fright.

''It is not often that an engineer stays on

"When he doesn't jump It's because he

Narrow Escape of a Texas Muir
derer From Being Lynched.

Detroit free IreSS.
1t was in Texas early days that a furious.
bowling mob, with grim. ptiess faces, led
out man to die. The rope had been thrown
over a convenient branch of cottonwood
and the victim of the crowds lawIeSs
anger stood in the midst, with pin
Toned and defiant expression on his
pallid couuteDance. but every now and
then his eyes would wander over the
prairie, as If remembering that never more
would lie sweep over its broad bosom. with
the fresh spring wind racing at his side.
and to the blue sky overhead, looking his
last on its placid beauty. And as bis gaze
went out over the prairie IL fingered for
moment on a dark speek, growing larger
every second, but which still might have
been only herd of cattle rushing in stam-
peded terror away from the corral.
On came the speek, however, and wild
hope sprang up in the prisoners breast that
this might prove n diversion in his favor, so
he spoke not, nor called the mob's attention
to that hurrying object. and keeping their
relentless gaze fixed on him, they demanded
a confession of his crime. Why this was
asked for is not clear. They were convinced
OF his guilt. Had he not been found riding
a horse that the week before had been stolen
from one of their number, who had sworn
to the animal? But this confession would
serve as topic OF conversation LOT the next
month in this region. where news was as
scarce as railroads. The culprit had moth
ing TO say. He had protested his innocence
until, perceiving that it was a mere waste of
breath, he had desisted and now preserved
a stolid silence. He could now see
that the flying object was a man on
horseback, and in another minute or
two the rider had dismounted In the
midst of the crowd. who evidently recog-
ni2ed him. but in the awful solemnity of
that moment had no time for further greet
Ing OF him than curt nod or two. The
newcomer accustomed to such scenes. gave
the pinoned man careless glance and in
quired his offense. They told him briefly,
pointing out the stolen horse that stood By,
still painting from the terrible ride across
the prairie the prisoner had taken on his
back. But as the arrivals eyes took in the
animal they wandered back to the man.
why, boys. this amt no horse-thie
saw him buy that horse yesterday from a
greaser out in kerrville. He'd killed man
there and the Sheriff war coming ter arrest
him, and, bein' as the crime war cold mur-
der, he thought he'd better light out"
A dozen hands were busy untying the
ropes that b und the man, apologies were
showered upon him. ard twenty whisky
TASKS were thrust in his face with entreat-
les to drink and have no ill-will over the
mistake.
The lately doomed man accepted all with
careless good-nature and the mob dispersed,
while the visitor from 1.-The old States" wou-
dered at the cheap rate human life was held
at in this country, compared TO the value OF
cattle and horses.

IDAHO DIAMONDS.
They Are Pronounced Genuine by an
Experienced Dutch Cleaver.

New YORK w orld.
One of the Tiffany experts and others re-
Gently pronounced against the alleged dia-
mouds from the Idaho fields. but Herman
VrelsIander, an experienced diamond
cleaver from Amsterdam, who is now In an
Office at 81 Maiden lane, disagrees with
them. About three weeks ago he received
from a correspondent in Boise City three
stones which he says are genuine diamonds.
Mr.. Verislander says
About January H. when the parers
were full OF stories OF diamonds found In
Idaho, l wrote to all the persons with
wn0m | had previously correspondent on the
subject. giving references and asking for
samples. Eventually | received package
containing three small stones, with letter
saying they were found or the sender's
own property.
'The stones are fine diamonds, aggregat-
ing in weight GIG carats, and are unlike
any others that have ever seen. In color
they resemble somewhat the Jagersfontein
stones, but in my opinion are superior to
them, their delicate aquamarlne tint indi-
eating that on polishing they will possess a
finer whteness than the buer African
stones.
''The remarkable feature of these Idaho
stones is their peculiar shape. They are
what are known in Holland as 'packwaties'
otherwise stones with blunt edges Now.
while such stones are found ia most dia.
mOnd mines, the specimens are rare. This
PECULIARLY makes it improbable that these
diamonds have come from any W here except
