Walter Mason hate the man
who always kicks and groans around,
and moistens with his briny tears a
mile or two Of ground; he grunts
when rain is falling fast, he grunts
when days are dry, at every mark
along the road you hear his doleful
cry. He is the damper on all our
hopes, the nourishment of fears; we
ought to take him out by night and
cut off both his ears; heis the modern
stumbling block, the hoodoo of the
town; we ought to make a roaring
fire and bake him nice and brown; he
is the grease upon the track, the brake
upon the wheels we ought to take
him to the woods and hang him by
the heels; he is the mud that soils
the brook, the cat that spoils the
cream; we ought to take his head
some day and soak it in the stream;
he Is the blight, the pest Of pests,
the frost that nips, the chills; we
ought to try and kill him off with
Billjaw's patent pills.

What Go you want. my friend?'
Lincoln asked

tho man
WELL. " said Lincoln, TT don't mind
being killed. but should like 10 know
your reasons "
II once vowed" said the man, "that
II ever met man home1ier than aIn

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story OF General Jnckson's Cotton Bale
Brcastworks n Pleasing Fiction.

The Story of General JuclSsons Cotton Bale
BrcastworlSs n Pleasing Fiction.
Thcre arc few of the schoolboys of
several generations preceding tho pres
emit who do not remember being taught
that General Jackson won the battle of
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work Of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them
A dramatic account of this was in oil
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty Of the affair appealed
wildly to the Imagination Tho cold
facts of later history prove this all to
have been fiction. Henry Adams, In his
history of Madison 8 administration, de-
scribes the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature MchIaster,
In his latest volume, refers to tho story
in note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in ono place,
and they were either set on fire or
knocked out at once
Jacllson's limo of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and of vary
ing height along its length Tho trained
sharpshooters of tho west did great work
as marksmen behind it and 50 CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line
Tho schoolbook story used to be that
tho Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded McMaster places tho figures
of killed and wounded at 70. The Brit
ish. it seems, were not all repulsed nc
cording to the popular story The right
line of the American troops WIS driven
in, and the British left advanced mile
in tho rear of Jackson ON the way to
New Orleans
Etc was really flanked by this snccees,
but the terrific slaughter he inflicted up
on the British in the center, involving
tho death of the first and second generals
IN command, completely dispirited them
and induced the return of that wing of
their army that was ON tho way TO the
city Boston Herald.
