once spent three days in the early
summer ut the Rock bridge Alum
Strings. during Col. Thomas Peyton's
40 administration, and those three days
Will always be remem bered as the
pleasantest that he ever experienced.
The colonel talked necessarily. and was
always surrounded by group of eager
listeners.
One OF the colonei's stories concern
ed Col. Blank. who commanded 4
dashing Virginia regiment in A. Z.
HIS corps. On one occasion this
particular regiment had been detached
on special duty and was some distance
awav from the main body of Lees
army and without support. One day
the command was in camp on the bank
of n small stream. a little too deep,
however To ford. The colonel's tent,
with those OF one of the companies,
was on the side of the stream away
from the enemy. who were known 10
be not far off. The other companies
were on the encmv's side of the creek,
which was sraunel by Il small wooden
bridge. During the day pickets
brought in news that the federals had
begun rapid advance in force and
would soon be upon them. There
was considerable CONSERVATION and
tho captains of the companies on the
encmy'S side of the stream were pre-
pairing to cross ii 10 the other side,
when, 20 their surprise. they saw some
of their own men attack the bridge
with axes. IN all haste they ordered
the work 20 be stopped and were talk
inc with the workmen when Col.
Blank rode up 10 the opposite side of
the stream in great rage.
Cut down that bridg he ordered

But the other officers took the mat

bridge remained intact until the last

then ii was cut down. The enemy
soon came up, but were checked long
enough at the stream to allow Col.
Blank and his regiment to regain the
main army.

How a Smart Girl SGueIched Hsshcr
in Central Park.

She was young, stylishly dressed
and very attractive looking. She had
gone out early in the morning to take
a constitutional in Central Park, says
the y. Y. Herald. She strolled along
the paths watching the teams pass by,
halted before one of the benches. ana
finally sat down. She was apparently
absorbed with her own thoughts.
A young man. also well dressed.
happened to stroll by about this time
and. noticing the fair creature seated
before him. deliberately seated himself
by her side. Ostensibly he was alb
sorbed in the perusal of newspaper.
Occasionally, however. he would east
an admiring glance at his fair neigh
Dor and finally. with an expression of
childlike interest. veDtured 10 address
her.
beautiful day" he remarked.
She looked up. smiled swectly and
said nothing.
DO you live in New York;" he
asked.
She looked 1T him wonderiugly and
then said slowly. Il no speak Englees,"
in dulcet tones. Her face had by this
time assumed an expression of vacant
curiosity. which seemed to encourage
the young man to proceed
Dut ten me- lie s3iu. are YOU
German, French, Italian, Swiss?"--
Il no speak Englees," came the
answer again.
Well, you are very pretty. Do you
understand that?"
Still the same answer.
The young man then began TO make
signs. but without eliciting any further
response He made another attempt.
You are married. no doubt?' he re-
marked desperately.
Il no speak Englees."
"Oh, you know what ! mean. Hus-
band-man - homo - homme" - and
beads of perspiration began TO show
themselves on his forehead. Still that
look of innocent wonderment and the
same exasperating reply
Il no speak Englees."
just at this point another well
dressed young man happened along.
He, too. saw the young lady.aud walk
ing up to her side addressed her.
w hat. is that really you, Miss M?
Why. what Oh earth are you doing out
here? Taking an airing?"
oh, yes" she replied. with the
purest English accent. I've been tax

She then took the profTered arm of
the last conner and walked briskly
away.

Says La Sale street agent: 81 am
going to make an innovation which |
think renters will appreciate. am go
ing to have all the houses and flats for
which am agent photographed. These
photographs will be in my office. They
will give the applicant some sort of an
idea of the premises before he goes to
make an investigation. Wherever l
have house or fiat for rent will ar
range to have the key to the premises
convenient and will pay the man who
keeps the key a percentage Of the first
months rent to answer all questions re-
garding the premises. A man who rents
. house to live in has some rights. The
time is about at hand when the unac-
commodating landlord who cares for
nothing but his rental will have to adopt
, some other business. The old fashioned
house and fat must give way pretty
soon. There is too much in the way of
modern improvements for the old style
houses. Chicago Tribune.
