The Louisiana populist. [volume] (Natchitoches, Natchitoches Parish, La.) 1894-1898, 1895-08-30

Two hundred Chicago sports. who
were spelling to see prize fight, ana
had put up "a apiece for the fun, were
terribly disappointed the other night.
The fight was arranged to come off
on the deck of an excursion steamer
out In the lake, and at the appointed
time the fighters, their hackers and
those who had been let into the secret
for cash consideration, repaired to
the place where the boat ought to be.
Unluckily for them, she was out with
an excursion and was late at keeping
her appointment. The police became
suspicious at the size and style of the
crowd of sports and telephoned to
headquarters. When the steamer ar
rived a squad of forty policemen were
on the ground, and the captain of the
boat lost his nerve, and refused to
take the fighters aboard, so the affair
fell through.

Promise to beat the drum for us as we'll
shall be spared"
Never cried the young patriot. 81
would rather be shot than be a rebel"
Perhaps the heart of the Confederate
was touched by this display of heroism,
but not sufficiently for him to mitigate
his sentence, and the little prisoner
went back to his guarded tent, doomed
to be shot as spy at sunset.
All that livelong day the little drum
mer under sentence of death heard the
incessant hustle Of camp life without,
knowing that some important movement
was on foot. And while he wondered
what 1t meant. his thoughts would go
back to that other army and that other
chieftain, who, by now, must have
ceased to look for him. He wondered
how his failure to return would be re-
ceived. And then his thoughts took
longer flight, going back to that old
home in the Empire State, and to the
loved ones he could not hope to see
again. Perhaps the tears glistened in
his eyes as he thought of it all; but
there was no sign of fear in his de-
pertinent when, at the fated hour, he
was led forth to die.
by Jove! he's sure to break down be-
fore the signal is given" said the
to place him in position for the closing
act in the awful drama.
Harry heard the words, and suddenly
lifting his head. he said:
Give me drum, sir, and will play
a tattoo while you shoot me-"
did you ever?" exclaimed the officer.
II swear It's a pity to shoot him like
this. But orders are orders, though
you may get nm a drum. Sawyer. He
will forget while he plays"
By the time Harry was blindfolded
drum was put into his hand. when he
instantly struck up the spirited notes
which had so often given life and hope
to his old regiment of gallant soldiers.
No doubt the boy drummer did for
get the deadly danger that menaced
him as he caught up the beloved strain
and sent out to hill and valley the music
of which he was master. And If he for
got so did his captors for the moment.
The grim phalanX stood silent and mo-
tionless while It waited for the stern
command that was to end all.
Moments are priceless sometimes, and
the brief while that Harry Baldwin held
his enemies spellbound by his last
tattoo saved him his life, for suddenly
the clear notes OF the drum were
drowned by the lusty shouts of men.
Then a body of Union cavalry flung
itself upon the surprised Confederates.
Amazed, bewildered, confident that no
small body Of trops would throw them
selves single-handed upon overwhelm-
ing forces. they broke and fled in wild
disorder.
The flight was short but decisive. and
only few minutes later the bandage
was torn from the drummer boys eyes
by friendly hands. and he was borne in
triumph back to the Union army.

An incident which occurred the
other day in Cardiganshire chapel,
where the congregation was made up
largely OF seafaring men, is now GO
ing the rounds. A figure used by the
preacher related to captain at his
wits end when navigating his shin
through 4 narrow, shallow, winding
channel, Astounding with rocks and
strong currents. The faces OF some
of the audience were perfect pictures
as the preacher elO4uently described
the details and the difficulties of the
voyage. Tho ship ran against q
bank and in thrilling burst the
preacher shouted, What shall we
do?" "God knows" cried an old
sailor. ''for you are going starn fore
most" If the preacher had stuck to
what he learned in theology schools,
instead OF trying to navigate In un-
known waters, the old sailor would
never have known what he was talk
ing about and could never have
tripped him up.

THE GIRLS WE KNOW.
They DO Not Turn Toward Their Moth
ers Like In OIden Times.

They do Not Turn Toward Their MOTH
ers Like In Olden Times.
Let any one of us, for example, look
among the girls of our acquaintance
and see how many We know who, as
daughters, turn to their mothers as
readily and as naturally as turns a
flower to the sun, writes w. Box. How
many do we know? Here and there.
one, yes. But are they in the majority?
We rather find that the average Amer
lean daughter is absolutely independ-
ent of her mother in all but those
things in which she must, of very ne
cessity and of her very being, be de-
pendent upon her. BY far the majority
of mothers have rot the confidence Of
their daughters, and one needs only TO
be in any position which invites human
confidence to know how true is such
statement. The English girl looks to
her mother for counsel and guidance
on every point In her life. Does the
American girl? The life of a French
girl always remains part of the being
which bore her. Does that of the
American girl? The Italian girls life
is known to her mother almost as we'll
even in its most inner thought, as to
the girl herself. Is that of the Ameri-
can girl? The gospel of the Swiss girl
is that of solicitation for her mother,
morning, noon and night. Is it the
gospel of the American girl? The Dutch
girl never dreams of telling her mother
that she is going to do thus and so: she
asks if she may. Does the American
girl? In Germany, the daughters first
thought, when she reaches proper
years, is to relieve her mother of every
domestic care and thought. Is it the
thought of the American girl? Is there
need that I, or any writer, shall supply
the answers to these questions?

WIDOW OF FEUILLET.

by Her Mother,

She Had Been Brought Up a Royalist
by Her Mother.
Valerie Feuillet had been brought up
a Royalist in the provinces by her
mother, Madame Dubois, who belonged
to the most prejudiced ancient regime,
and there are pretty anecdotes of little
Valerie's childhood, when she was bid
den to kiss lock of blonde hair belong
ing to King Henry V, who
was to be King only in ex-
lie, and when her pretty, dainty,
frail mother going to some ball in
a sedan chair, took Valerie with her
as far as the threshold of the fete and
then sent her home to the old Norman
house where the little girl had first
seen the light, writes 9Th. Benton"
(Madame Blanc) in charming sketch
of "The Romantic Career of Madame
Feuillet." The mother of Madame
Feuillet was own niece to heroine of
the revolution, Mademoiselle de Ste.

guillotine by going alone on horseback

Of which is described by the author of
the Memoirs" with an extraordinary
spirit. 1t is very easy to find in these
portraits the types which inspired her
husband with the delightful "Story of
Sibylle," and with the provincial scenes
of "Camors." In fact, there was always
between them a kind of involuntary
collaboration.
