ling with his hat in an embarrassed
manner, "but if it's all the same to
you, I'd rather not. Id lots ruther
do jest plain fghtin'." :"
So Jim Carroll was left TO do plain
fghtin', and there is no denying that
he did it well. 1t came to be acknOwl-
edged as a settled fact that the little
man whom Minervy had ruled with a
rod of iron did not know what fear
was. The first guns of battle fired
him, as the sound of the trumpet
reused the biblical warhorse. He
rushed into charge with head up and
eyes flashing. His only trouble was
that he could not bear to retreat, and
when the exigencies of battle demanded
a retreat he yielded with the most
ludicrous unwillingness.
His superior officers found him out,
and when there was difficult or dan
ge-ous mission jim Carroll was the
man to be sent upon it. The meek lit
tie man with tinid and appealing look
made more than one journey into the
enemy's lines, and returned with IN
formation which no one else could
have gained. Long and lonely jour
neys, through sections bristling with
dangers, fell to his share, and he was
frequently placed where nothing but
quick thought and ready wit could
save him. No one had ever suspected
him of having either resource, but he
came out of every difficulty unscathed
and reported at headquarters with the
old meekness and gentleness.
THAT Jim Carroll is caution, re-
marked Sile Colburn to a crowd of his
native villagers, when he was taking a
little furlough on account of a bullet
through his lung "It's my belief
that Jim Carroll's the bravest man
that's fit into the war Why, when
our Colonel went down in that last
battle, what does jim do but run right
back into the face of the enemy, grab
loose horse, git our Colonel onto i'm
an come a-bringin' i'm away, cool as
a cucumber. The enemy yelled like
mad when they seen it, an he could a
got permotion then an thar eff he d
a had it. But he said no, thank
you, jim did. He said he'd lots ruther
do plain fghtin'." "

Thief four years were past-the plain
fghtin' was over. Appomattox was
a recent memory, and along all the
roadways trailed dusty and forlorn hg-
ures, their faces turned toward what
ever region they had once called home
Two men limped painfully down the
valley to the little town lying peaceful
and serene in the evening light as
though there had been no such thing
as wal in all the world. Purple shad-
ows of clouds drifted across the distant
hills, and along a strip of white road
on the outskirts of the town company
of small boys with paper caps and
wooden guns were playing soldier.
"Now, jim, urged Sile, beseecbing-
ly, don't go back on your word. Re-
member what you promised, jim.
Don't We go an let Minervy git the
start of you ag'in. Jest think how you
fit into the war, an stan up for your
rights"
81 lowed l would, Sile," replied
jim, but there was faltering in his
tone as he glanced up the hill toward
the cabin, where a thread of blue
smoke curled softly up into the even
ing air.
Now, jim, ef you give down III
be plum ashamed O ye, that's what |
will. If you let Minervy get the start
O you oncet more it's goodby to your
chances. An man that fit like you
did, too.
"Ill take keer, Sile," said the hero
of battle and scout. I'm a-goin' into
a store minute to buy something an
then I'm a-goin' up home.
Minervy had the supper nearly
ready in the little cabin Oh the hill
She was in a hurry, because every
thing must be cleared away before
dark. Candles were too scarce to bt
wasted, and the tall woman in the
homespun dress had learned all there
was to be learned in the way of pinch
ing economies. She had set the vel
low platter Of "cOrn pOne on the table
and was turning back again when
figure in the doorway startled her.
"Minervy, here's the wood you sem
me after" said the meek little man
and he went across the room and laiC
the armful of wood beside the hearth
"An' here's that thread an them pie
pans"
A grim humor in the utteranc'
struck her, and she fell back into I
chair, laughing and crying at the sam
time, and clapping her worn, brown
hands.
"well, you waited for EN- to grow
reckon. she CALCULATED between sobs
"But it don't make no dif-runce, jim
I'm done scoldin the rest o my life
supper's ready, Jim. I'm glad yo'
got home in time for supper"
And while she cried, the "brayes
man who fit in the war" wiped ava.
the tears from her face with hand a
tender as though it had never handle
a gun or been blackened BY powder.

1t was the fate Of pretty sixteen
year-old Lizzie Goddard, Of Burnside,
KY, to be frightened to death by the
FIRST ride she had ever taken on the
cars Wednesday night. Five minutes
after she had arrived at Chattanooga
she was dead. Little Miss Goddard
had been in constant fear Of railroads
all her life, and boarded the train on
Friday last only after much persuasion.
The train made a lunge q few miles
from the city and she jumped from her
seat and screamed in a frantic manner.
She at once became unconscious and
died as she was being removed from
the train. Physicians agree that she
died Of fright.

Stone, like lumber, requires seasoning.
Stone is often spoken of rs the synonym
of solidity. CAS- solid as rock, we say,
but as matter of fact stone is very far
from being solid. \ cubic foot of the most
compact granite, for instance, weighs
about 1874 pounds while a cubic foot of
iron weighs AGA pounds. This plainly
shows that in between the atoms which
compose the mass of the most enduring
stone there exists much space for air,
moisture, etc. This seasoning of stone

well understood by the architects of all
ages, but in'the modern rush OF nineteenth
century building too little attention has
been paid TO it. Now it enters into the

Pianos.

Somebody has aroused to the fact that
pianos, of all furniture, remain the same
dreary, stiff, coffin finished pieces they
have always been. The upright has few
possibilities, though not what it should
have, but the grand is still hopeless. WIZ
piano makers, exclaims this apostle of re
form, continue to use the same old and ug-
ly models, with great knobs and senseless
twistings and horrid posts for legs, is a
mystery, when graceful case of polished
light wood, with slender legs arranged in
clusters, and plain panels, would find
eager buyers. Such II piano in wood to
match the finishings of the room, oak, ma
pie, cherry, would be harmonious and in
conspicuous. 1t could be treated more
deliberately with really graceful carvings
or inlays of other woods and, if an up
right, the back could be made beautiful
