before, yet had scaped. BY sudden
twist of his rein he compelled the animal
under him to make bolt to the right,
and almost at the same instant the horse
made leap over the stone fence. Then,
stretching out on furious gallop, his
steed was soon crossing the field of
snow strewn stubble.
Both of the Confederate patrols fol-
lowed but as they were delayed in get
ting over the fence Jim had meantime
reached the other side of the field, his
horse leaping a wide ditch in his stride.
Two or three carbines were emptied at
him as the horse rose from the leap, but
all the bullets went wide of their mark.
1t was now test of speed and endur-
ance, and Jim had again sanguine hope
of escape. He knew the valley well, and
as he rode CALAMITY forward the thought
entered his busy brain that on the other
side of a small wood he was approaching
there was a road leading toward the
River Potomac. He also remembered
that mile or two below there was a
bridge across a narrow creek, and he at
once formed the plan by which he finally
eluded his pursuers.
1t took only a few seconds to enter the
wood and dash through it. On reaching
the road he darted off again, being fully
a mile ahead when the Confederates took
up his trail. In less than 10 seconds Jim
had reached the bridge, it being just be-
yond a sharp turn in the road, thus shut
ting him out of the sight of the united
patrols.
Suddenly refining in, he dismounted
and led his horse under the bridge. Once
there, he covered the animals nose with
his hat to check its labored breathing
and ordered it to kneel. The command
was promptly obeyed by the docile steed,
it seeming to recognize its masters peril
Standing there, ready for any emergency,
the scout calmly waited, hearing the
sharp clatter Of the Confederates as they
rapidly approached. Nearer and nearer
came the laundering hoofs, and a mo-
ment later they ratified ON the bridge.
The trained and intelligent animal gave
no sign of its presence, and in a few min
utes the pursuing party was out of sight
and hearing. Then Jim returned to the
road and galloped away up the valley
He reached Aide gap late in the night,
and passing through without challenge
bivouacked in a wood near the Center
vile road. He reached General Hooker
on New Years eve and made his report,
and thus it was that Jim Whites shaggy
but fleet steed saved him from capture
and death. True Flag.

A Boys Manners.

" His manners are worth 100000
to him!" This is what one of the
chief men of the nation lately said about
boy. The boy was distant relative
Of the man and had been brought up
by careful parents in far. off city.
Among other things he had been taught
to be friendly and to think of other per-
sons before himself The boy was on
visit to the town where the man
lived. They met on the street. and the
younger, recognizing the elder. promptly
went to his side and spoke to him in
his cordial way. OF course the man
was pleased; any one would have been
pleased. The sentence above was the
outcome of it. A little later the boy
came into the room just as the man
was struggling into his overcoat. The
boy hurried to him, pulled it up at the
collar and drew down the wrinkled coat
beneath. He would have done it for
any mantle haughtiest or the poor
est Do not misunderstood, boys. You
may be truly unselfsh and yet not have
this boys prize. You may wish to do
things for others, yet feel that you do
not know how. The only way to learn
is to try; to hesitate for no feeling of
bashfulness or awkwardness, but to put
into direct and instantaneous practice
whatever kind, helpful thoughts occur
to you.-TrOy Times.

Why Americans Have COrns.

"Cons are bad" said the philosophic
bootblack. Yours seem to hurt you some.
Strange what lots of people have corns.
Over 80 per cent of the men who come to get

do | know you have corn? BY finding it,
of course. Gently? All right, / won't hurt

every 100 have corns. People say its tig t
boots, but don't believe it. Those WHO
have the worst corns wear boots that are
too large for them. What gives them corns
then? Well, I'll tell you. 1t is wearing boots
all day long.
seldom do you see Europeans bothered
with corns, especially Englishmen. Nearly
every American has them. The former
never wear their boots all day. They have
walking boots to the office. Once there
they put on a thin house boot. When they
go home, about o'clock in the evening" the
first thing they do is to put on their Slip

A Polite Girl's Quandary.

The old saying, {" 1t pays to be po-
lite," has been illustrated again in the
Tacoma post-office in favor of Miss
Margaret j. Reese, the stamp clerk, a
very pretty young woman of twenty
one. l.. o. Landers, grizzled, grabbed,
one-legged old fellow, has fine farm
on Vashon upland, near Tacoma. AL
though he lives the life of hermit, it
is believed that he is rich, for the
Vashon fruit lands are among the most
productive in the state, and his farm
has been under cultivation for a num-
Der of years. He visits the Tacoma
Office every week or two, and he always
asks Miss Reese to get his mail, for she
went to considerable trouble in look
ing up a letter for him once, and he
thinks no one else in the office is to be
trusted. Some months ago, after she
had handed him his mail, he laid 5000
in gold on her counter, saying That's
for you" Before the astonished Girl
had cOmprehended the fact he was
gone. She was so indignant that she
wept, and when Landers returned she
gave back the money, telling him she
supposed he bad forgotten it. He was
much hurt, but later he left at a local
jewelry shop an order for a diamond
necklace and earrings for her, and in
explanation he said to the shopkeeper
that she was the only person who had
ever spoken kind word to him. The
lewelry was refused, also, by Miss
Reese, but Landers was not to be
thwarled in hi, desire to make her I'M
derstand his gratitude, for a dav or two
ago he stumped into the post office, and
thrusllng paper into her hand re-
marked that it was something she
could not return. Miss Reese, on open
ing the document, found that it was a
deed for five acres OF land, which she
has been told is worth 5000 an acre.

Trouble with n Cook.

Mrs. Joshua and her family desired to
acquire the correct Partisan accent and
therefore engaged French coolt-a lady
whose pot au fen had attained more than
universal reputation. But no English
household can live on fricasses. raie au
beurre noir and asperges frappees, and
when, therefore, the French cuisiniere
was asked to supply British breakfast
the result was Il failure. The mistress
naturally enough, expostulated with the
cook, who replied in the latest Partisan
style. "Mille tonnerres," she cried.
you no like my -plan-plan."
and at each word she hurled plate or
cup to the floor and danced upon the at
oms.
AT such a game the largest supply of
china must become exhausted. and when
the Cadogan square French cook had
danced upon the last atom she was able to
manufacture, she lookup a kitchen knife
and like the famous Vatel, not only
threatened in chagrin to end her own
days, but to finish some other PERSONS
also. 1t took four or five fellow servants
to hold her down until the mistress read
the sentence Of formal and immediate
dismissal. The cuisiniere now sued Mrs.
Joshua in the Westminster county court
for months wages in lieu of notice.
but the judge held that, no matter how
the law stood in France her conduct
was not in consonance with English Gus
tom and therefore merited dismissal.

About Lemons.

AS health giving fruit the lemon is
greatly underestimated. It's liberal
use, especially in the warm season, is
preventive OF malaria. The Juice of
one large lemon, taken three times a
day before each meal, is a remedy for
rheumatism. 1t has very marked
effect upon the liver, and therefore
upon the skin. In a few DAYS it will
cure muddy complexion, as we'll as
those little pimples so annoying to
womanhood. The pulp of a lemon,
bound on for three successive nights is
said to cure those troublesome little
grains y that come upon the toes A
few pearl shirt buttons, dissolved in
lemon juice form thick creamy oint-
ment that will surely cure them. Hot
lemonade, with flaxseed simered in il
for half an hour, then strained and
sweetened is excellent for cold, but
as 1t causes persplration it should only
be taken upon retiring. The white of
an egg beaten into lemon juice and
sugar is a relief for hoarseness and
soreness of the chest, if taken half
hourly. 1t is good thing to clear the
voice of public speakers.
A physician will generally allow a
patient to drink lemonade when it rel
ishes, and variety, which is the "spice
OF life" can be given by Aavoring the
lemonade with a little pineapple juice
or with strawberries or raspberries.
Lemons in different forms are refresh
ing and welcome when travelling. We
all know that a change of drinking
water affects many healthy people as
unfavorably as change of climate does
favorably the invalid, To obviate this
condition of things, if little of the
Juice OF lemon is taken to quench the
thirst, instead of the water which is in
any respect disagreeable, the danger
from sickness thereby is averted, and
even the general condition is improved

IN GENERAL.
When Lilacs In the Door Yard
Bloom.

when lilacs in the door.yard bloom,
And lift and shake their plumy sheaves;
When sunbeams smte the forests gloom,
And winds go whispering through the leaves
When wrens and robins build again
In peace anear the cottage caves
Then, though my strength is something spent,
And though my eyes are growing dim,
thrill with gladness and content.
My soul sends up Joyful hymn,
And In the beauty of the world
feel my spirit overbrim.
Long years have gone since mother took
The lonesome ways that angels mark;
The memory of her latest look
Is like a candle In the dark
But when the lilacs bloom see
Her sweet face i'm a starry arc
She loved so well these homely flowers;
She broke them for my childish hand;
They spoke to me of childish hours,
BY mother love and patience spanned;
Their perfume has a watt of sweet
Blown hither from tn immortal strand.
| like the dear old-fashioned things;
always find them Just the same,
And so the fancy wakes and clings
That, blooming by whatever name,
I'll one day pluck the lilac sheaves
Where flowers in deathless gardens flame.
