For years gentleman of prominence

every naval and military commander of
both the northern and southern service
whom he met to jot down in his own
words what he considered the FUNNIEST
and the saddest incidents arising from
the great conflict that had come under his
observation. The greatest men complied
with the request at various times and
some OF the stories have been put to-
gether by the collector and are now pub

came from General Sherman only a short
time before he died. Each is produced
exactly as written.

A Losing Hand

Kansas City Star: A charming youlg
woman who lives on the west side and
her young man found the SUNNI it-street
cars packed to the doors last Friday eve
ming when they started home from the
Auditorium. Nothing daunted, Miss
West Side sought place on the platform.
She had barely room for one foot, and as
the car lurched and heeled she olung to
Charley's big strong hand. Occasionally.
under cover of the darkness, she squeezed
it tenderly. pecause-well, because she
and Charley are engaged. And so she
held on to the hand for many blocks.
Charley" she said, aren't you about
worn out holding me on tine car with
your one poor. tired hand?"
What" c:ied Charley, in q Mortified
tone.
Mademoiselie looked UP and then drop

holding to ana squeezing the hand of II

mustache and pleasing eye.

How a Great Story Was Written.

The history OF any great and sue
cessful undertaking is always inter
esting, therefore at the risk of-bc-
ing accused of violating personal
confidence, we tell our readers of
the origin of a famous story of the
late war. The Publishers of the
Chicago Record wanted a story
which, besides being a love story of
great merit, should wildly describe
the thrilling events of the battle
of Gettysburg and the siege of Rich
mond. One author after another
failed in the work, and at last the
famous st. George Rathburne was
approached on the subject, He de-
manded a fabulous price for the
work, but it was paid, and the story
was actually written to order 1t
is, however, printed under the pen
name OF Hugh Allen" 1t is de-
clared by by critics, who have been
shown the advance sheets, to be the
best story of the war ever written.
The first installment of it appeared
in No 3, Vol, xiii of the Ledger,
and at once attracted the greatest
attention. A private letter from
the editor informs us that in order
to reach all classes of people, the
publishers of the Ledger will mail
the opening chapters of the story
free Of charge to all who send in
their names at once, The Ledger
is a great paper, and each week
gives story matter enough to make
dollar book. Address

CORSICANA's GREAT WELL.
Water, Gas and Fire Flowing in a
Steady Stream to the Delight
Of Visitors.

CoRsICANA, Tex, March 23.-The
artesian well here has developed an-
other feature. These dispatches
have already announced the fact
that the well was flowing through
the main pipe 100000 gallons per
day Today tests shows that the
flow is more than 100000 gallons
The new feature is the demonstra-
tion of the fact that the water is
strongly impregnpted with hydro
gen gas, When the test pipe was
! put on a match was applied to the
water and it Immediately ignited.
All day the well has presented the
extraordinary spectacle of water
and flame pouring from the same
vent. The flame and water were
separate about one foot from the
end of the pipe. Numerous and
varied are the comments heard upon
the streets, relating to a we'll that
flows naturally water, gas and fire.
Mr., Johnson, the superintendent,
states that the gas as it flows out
with the water is frst-class for heat
ing purposes, but that
it will be necessary to refine it for
illumination. There has as yet
been no test of the quantity, but it
is thought to be large, The pres
ence of the gasin the water does not
make it less palatable, as it passes
off as soon as the water comes in
contact with the atmosphere. It
was a strange sight to see parties
lighting cigars and cigarettes at
the we'll All day tomorrow the
well will bnrn for the edification of
those who wish to see something
extraordinary. The Water Devel-
opment company will meet this af-
ternoon to consider propositions for
the disposition of the water, This
company was organized under the
auspices of the Commercial club
SIMPLY to demonstrate that there
was artesian water here and has
not contemplated going further,
Several propositions have been re-
ceived for the profitable utilization
of the well and it is probable that
the citizens will at once receive its
benefits and that other wells will at
once be started

| in town says, the Chicago Herald.
He came to town to visit his mar.
ried sister, who lives at Ashland
avenue. After dinner last evening
Mr.. Lake decided to visit some old
friends in the neighborhood Of the
City Hall. He got on : crowded
Madison-slreet cable car and hung
to Z strap. He noticed two uncouth,
tobacco-chewing fellows sitting in
the car and they occupied space
enough for four men.
At Halsted stree! the car stopped
to take on an old lady. No one
volunteered to give her 4 seat.
Wont you be kind enough" said
Lake to the two men, ITO move
along and make room for this old
lady?" The men only grunted.
"Pete" Lake did not like this, but
he asked the men again to give the
old lady : seat. This time they
took offense and said something
about punching his nose" Quick
as fash Pete Lake let his good
right arm 60 and it caught one Of
the men on the left eye. He then
turned on the other and gave him a
like dose.
Two or three men rushed to the
assistance of the gray haired miner,
but he told them be needed no help.
I'm able to care for these fellows
and couple more like them," said
Lake as he rained blows on the faces
Of the two. He elected both of them
from the car and and then sat down
beside the old lady and talked to
her until the train reached Madison
md Clark streets.
