command was a treatise OH Roman law
He sat down and in two weeks mastered
the volume so completely that 20 years
later he could repeat long passages from
it's pages. He never forgot face or
name and would often greet private SOL
diers by their names, sometimes allud-
ing to the march or the battle where he
had seen them before. He kept in his
head all the details of his military
movements, and it was said of him that
during the march to Italy and Marengo
he knew where every pound of the sup
plies for the use of the army was located.
1t is said that he remembered the name
of every officer to whom he ever issued
a commission.

DECEIVED BY A DUDE.
How a So 500. 900 Bid by an Unknown Man
Was Taken Seriously.


Was Taken Seriously.
Samuel p Schuckers died recently
at Wooster, 0. He was brother of J
w. Schuckers, private secretary Of Salm-
on P Chase, and brother-in-law of
John FL. Oberly, ex-civil service CON-
missioner An interesting incident is re-
called by Schuckers' death which has
never found it's way in the newspapers.
The incident occurred number of years
ago, and during the time of the sale of
the Lake Shore railroad at Cleveland it
happened that Schuckers and John Nc
Sweeney, the great criminal lawyer,
met at the sale. insolvency had but
short time before made great hit by
his political speeches at Cleveland and
Philadelphia and was attracting atten-
tion all over the country At this par
ticular time he was trying a case at
Cleveland. Young Schuckers was in
these days veritable dude and very
sprucy.
He went to Cleveland to have time,
as he always left Wooster to celebrate,
and was having good, glorious time on
this particular occasion. He was small
and why in stature and always carried
a silk umbrella. 1t happened that he
met insolvency in the rotunda just as
he had finished an argument and while
the sale of the Lake Shore railroad was
going on. They stopped for moment
at the edge of the excited crowd bid
ding in the road. There were number
of syndicates represented foreign. Van
derbilts, Goulds and others The bid
ding had reached 50, 100, 900. In a spir-
it of devilishness young Schuckers bid
So, 500, 900. In a moment rush was
made toward the new bidder, and de-
mand was made to know what syndi-
cate he represented. His only reply
was, with a wave of his silk umbrella,
eco away from me. " The excited rep
resentatives of the other syndicates ask
ed for recess, which was granted, and
in 20 minutes they came back. when the
bid was raised to 81, 900, 900 and sold.
Mr.. Schuckers sprucy appearance and
being in company with the great crimi
nal lawyer had led them to believe he
represented some secret syndicate who
were trying to gain possession of the
valuable railroad property. Cincinnati

Orderly Music.

A colonel in the French army, who
had a great eye for neatness, but not
much of an ear for music, took occasion
one day to compliment his bandmaster
on the appearance of his men. ''Their
uniforms are neat said the colonel.
"and their instruments are nicely pol
ished and kept in order, but there is one
improvement that must insist upon. "
".What is it, colonel?"
"You must train your men, when
they perform, to lift their fingers all at
exactly the same time and at regular in
tervals on their Instruments, so-one

Bill bennington i'm Trouble.

And that amt all. Bill Is going to
get some body else in trouble. Bills
troubles came up about this way. In
the beginning OF the year 1894 Bill
got hold Of one OF those Birthday AL
manacs from the Chattanooga Medi-
cine Company. He watched the pre-
dictions OF the weather very closely,
and it hit right peariy every time.
SO Bill got to be firm believer in it.
He believed in it so strong that he
never left home to go to town, hunt
ing, fishing or anywhere else without
first consulting his almanac SD as to
know whether to carry his coat or not,
and before the end OF the year Bill
was in town trying TO get one OF the
same kind OF Almanacs for the year
, 1895. He finally procured one from
j. ii. Moore and went home happy in
belief that he would be posted on all
the weather changes Of the year '95.
On consulting his almanac he noticed
from the to Of February would be
extremely warm, and he thought
spring was going to open up soon, and
he was sitting by his cheerful fire
thinking over the future-planing for
an early garden, and thinking of what
nice early vegetables he would soon
have, and while in this cheerful, hap
py mood, he calls for the shears and
went to work and cut the tail off OF
his long tail black frock coat. Now
just imagine II you can Bills feelings
next morning when he went out and
saw the ground covered with sleet and
snow and still showing and the mer-
curry sinking fast to zero. This was to
much for Bill. He lost his faith in
mankind and the almanac too, and the
tail from his frock. Now Bill thinks.
so do we, that he should reimbursed
re-instated, retailed or made whole in
in some shape, and as j. H, Moore
| gave Bill the almanac that got him in
this trouble he should present Bill
with another long tail frock coat so
say we all. BILLS FRIEND.

All these questions are to be an

Failure of w. w. Harris.

Our entire community was panied to
hear that Mr.. w. w. Harris, of Iuka.
had been compelled to succumb to the
financial pressure, and that he had
sold out to Capt. &. j, Hyatt to pay a
large Indebtedness which he owed the
Bank OF Iuka. Mr. Harris Is regarded
as a good business mans and has been
since he moved to Iuka one at our
most enterprising and energetic mer-
chants and we hope soon TO see him
upon his feet again. We are not ac-
quainted with the details Of Mr.. Har-
ris' failure, but understand that he
bought in the season OF 1898 and 1894
large part OF the cotton that was
sold at Iuka and paid to our farmers
good prices for it, believing and hop.
ing that prices would hold up and
that he could sell without loss; but the
market continuing to decline he was
compelled to sell, which no did with
heavy loss to himself. This, and the
, low price OF cotton this season. and
the inab lily Of his customers to pay
for supplies furnished them, caused
his misfortune. We are Informed
that Mr., Harris says he will yet re
trieve his credit and pay his debts
His many friends here, especially those
whom he has aided in the past, wish
him every success in his efforts SO tt
