THE CAVALRY FLED.
A Yankee War Expedient Suggests an
Iden to Evan Howell.

Yankee War Expedient Suggests an
Idea to Evan Howell.
There was a matter that 1 forgot and
which 1 meant to suggest to our War De-
partment before I returned to Georgia"
The speaker was Evan Howell of Atlanta,
publisher of the Constitution. The idea
was suggested to me- he said to a writer
for The Star, "by the trick of a smart
Yankee which 1 experienced during the
war. Some of our men surprised a bunch
of Yankee raiders one day. The raiders
saw us coming a half mile away. They
were in the front yard of a big plantation
house at the time, and the moment they
noted us streaming round bend in the
pike they leaped for their horses. One of
them, the tricky Yank l mentioned, stop
ped and picked up bee gum, one of a doZ-
en- standing in the yard, and swung it up
to his shoulder. Then he climbed Into the
saddle. Every jump of his horse jolted a
handful of indignant bees out of the live,
and it looked as if they never budged, hut
stood right still in the air wondering what
had happened. And when We got up to
them the bees seemed to lay their troubles
to us, and pitched into us like rabid dogs
Not one of our cavalry ever got further
than the first bee. The whole outfit came
streaming back and lit into us and cur
horses, and made it so hot we had to turn
and fly. That's what they did; just simply
stung us plumb out of the country, and
the Yanks got away
Now, l wasn't thinking of suggesting
bees to Lamont as an adjunct to our mill
tary, but remembering my bee experience
that day in north Georgia, l was wonder
ing why we couldn't avail ourselves of
the aid of animals more than we do in a
battle. My idea was to organize a dog
regiment, say of thousand dogs. I'd
get good big stag hounds and cross them
with the shepherd dog to get intelligence.
I'd take 1000 of these and put 100 men
with them, giving each man charge of ten
dogs. I'd train them to know the enemy
by dummies fixed up in the hostile uni
form. 1t could be done, this last part, in
week. And I'd take this dog regiment into
battle with me. They be easy to feed and
easy to handle. I'd guarantee to whip
anything but infantry with my dog rcgi-
ments Cavalry wouldn't last a moment
with 'em. They'd stampede the best cav
airy brigade that ever heard bugle. OF
course, these 100 men would have to be
| mounted. With the men in the saddle and
their half staghound half shepherd deg
cohorts they'd sweep a battle field and stir
up an enemy's line like nest of hornets.
AS for artillery, ,these dogs would overrun
a battery like a torrent"

ANOTHER LINCOLN. STORY.
Summers Smiling Face Suggested q
Doubt to an Illinois Representative.

Summers Smiling Face Suggested q
Doubt to an Illinois Representative.
'In my younger days" said Secretary
Morton to The Star reporter, "a man whom
1 greatly admired was Representative
Richardson of Illinois, who was in Con-
gress from the Quincy district-at one time
represented by Stephen A. Douglas. old
Dick as he was called, was a strong char
acter, and an old-line democrat. He was
a great friend apd admirer of Abe Lin
coin, with whom for years he rode about
the Illinois circuits and practiced law.
When Lincoln was running for the presi-
dency there was a great deal of discussion
as to how he would undertake to deal with
slavery should he be elected.
"Old Dick contended that no matter how
the question presented itself he was alb
solutely certain that Lincoln would never
contemplate freeing the slaves without due
compensation to the masters. He had often
spoken to me on the subject, and assured
me that such would be Lincolns course. l
had myself been Douglas democrat and
after Lincoln was inaugurated CHANGED to
be in Washington to see some political
friends, and was one night at dinner
where Richardson had a plate about three
removes to my left.
about the fourth glass of wine looked
across the shoulders of the two or three
guests between Old Dick and myself, and
asked: Well, Dick how about Lincoln and
this question of slavery? Do you think he's
going to pay for 'em? Amt you little
afraid he's going over with the Wendell
Philips, VIM. Lloyd Garrison crowd, and
getting ready to abolish slavery and say
nothing about pay?
'Old Dick looked profoundly thoughtful.
I'll tell you,' he said, I amt able to an
swer you as peart and confident as l would
have answered last night at this time.
The fact is, I've been bothered about Lin
coin all day. 1 went up to the White House
this morning and had long talk with
him, and gave him my views on this par
ticular pint. He listened without saying
much, but seemed to sort O. agree to what
said, and when 1 got through talking and
he got through listening felt mighty con-
f1dent he was taking my notion. l left, and
was coming down the stairs smiling and
feeling good all over, to think how well
Lincoln and I agreed, when all at once,
right in the middle of grin as wide as a
two-hoss gate, something struck me. 1
reccllected that right or those same stairs
when came in that morning l met Sumner
of Massachusetts coming out. And his
face. l remembered, wore a grin every bit
as wide as mine. 1t hit me like rock that
somebody WIS getting fooled: and the more
l thought it over, the more it struck me
that it must be me. So I've quit grinning
and made up my mind to wait ="

The Little Boys Prayer.

FROM the fnllaoelphla Tlmes
1t was his first visit to church, and his
big brown eyes watched everything. He
saw the newcomers drop their heads on the
pew rails in front Of them as they entered,
and in a moment raise them again. why
do they put their heads down?' he whis-
pered to his older sister, who was with him.

and Shall 1 think a little prayer?" was
the next question.

brown eyes were shut, the small hands
folded. and an earnest little face dropped
against the rail-
In moment or two the head was raised,

After the class was dismissed a classmate
inquired of him IL Washington ever did
anything else remarkable when he was six
teen.

was a surveyor when he was as old as
am, and when he was as old as our teacher
he was President Of the United States"

that tie professional poets who have turn
ed their eyes skyward seem for the most
part to have been diverted by some singu-
lar faulty from the natural beauties of
the heavens to the contemplation of those
fanciful figures of purely human origin,
which, If they had an actual existence and
could be seen drawn in lines of light upon

species of celestial poetry let us take a
description of the constellation Virgo.

Stars ornament the bracelet on her hand;
Her vest, in ample fold, glitters with stars;
Beneath her snowy feet they shine; her

the most satisfactory styles will be found
in the empire gown. First make close
fitting waist of the lawn, lining it only to
an inch below the armholes. Fasten it up
the front with small pearl buttons. Then
measure the skirt from just below the bust
line, and make like a Mother Hubbard,

wide rufie around the shoulders. The un-

make it long enough you have but to ad-

neatly attired for morning stroll or the

People.

Its Advantages Explained to Eastern
People.
The Farm, Field and FIreside has this
to say, for the benefit of its Eastern read
ers, of the new colony just established on
the San Juan Grant in this county:
I'VE have at last secured tract of land
for the proposed California Colony which
Is all that can be desired. We have been
long time about it, much longer than
we anticipated at the outset, but the work
has been well done. 1t is located in the
northern part of Sacramento County on
the edge OF Placer County, in the best
fruit section in California. In fact, right
in the heart OF the best fruit belt in the
State, where seVen-tenths of all the
fruit comes from. 1t is in one of those
rare sections where oranges, lemons
cherries, olives, almonds and all decidu-
Gus fruits do equally well. The fruit also
ripens much earlier than in other por-
tions Of the State, and is of the finest
quality.
1T is also a section which is practically
frost-proOf While at Riverside last year
the orange crop was destroyed by frost,
this section was untouched. The land is
not sage-brush desert, but oak openings.
That is, it is covered with scattering
large, Hve-oak and other oak trees. The
climate also is as fine as any in California.
The tract in question is located within a
little over an hours drive from Sacra-
mento, the Capital of the State, and in a
section where some of the most beautiful
homes abound.
such land, of course, cannot be bought
for song. Lands adjoining the tract
OF the same quality are selling to Califor-
mans at from Sl25 to $500 an acre. AS
proposed in the colony plans, we have
secured the tract so that it can be sold at
half the usual price"
