Tho incident of which am reminded &C.
Cured during the late unpleasantness. The
Army OF the Cumberland was making a
march in driving rain storm-the infantry

stalled. Several officers were riding along
the road when they saw a cannon almost

the leader they left their mounts and wad-

got them into all the trouble In the latter
particular they were all very fluent, with
the exception OF one trooper who was push

who was working hardest While the
others were doing brilliant work in the way
Of reviling the general he remained silent
Finally the gun was extricated from it's
earthly bed. and the unrecognized officers
departed. Then the silent soldier spoke.

related to me by Gen. Rosecrans, who ap-

An Attractive Novelty Appropriate
for the Coming Season.
Easter, as well as Christmas, brings out
each year novelties to please little folks
and their elders. An Easter Garden de-
vised by a German lady to please her own
children Is attractive.
The hill is former of board propped be-
hind so as to rest in a sloping position,
then covered with a layer Of wadding,
gummed to the wood, and this again with
green crepe paper to represent grass; the
same paper is also laid on the fiat surface
OF the table upon which the board rests
The srbor Is formed of scafolding Of
wooden skewers covered with moss. All
Kinds OF dried grasses and artificial flowers
can be arranged about the arbor and on the
top and sides Of the hill. The hares can be
bought at the toy shops and the confection-
erS. One fat fellow draws a laden wagon
made OF woven straw, with paseteboard
WEeels. another pushes a wheelbarrow
nlled with eggs Two, dressed as peasant
women in silk skirts and white blouses
carry MANNERS up and down the hillside
While little fellow with two empty ones
is running toward the store house in the
arbor. At the right, under an umbrella
SNAPPED canopy-which may be of either
straw or crepe paper-ornamented at the
top with two brfght-hued Japanese fans, is

pretty eggs. Beside it is a baby hare lean
Ing against broken egg shell, and sugar
ana chocolate eggs Of different colors and
sizes are scattered about on the turf at the
bottom of the hill.

He Knew He was Getting Old.

From tie Youths Companion.
In small town about eight miles from
Boston there lives an old gentleman who
Is hale and hearty at the age OF eighty
one. and whose erect carriage would put
many a younger man to shame. Within
the last year, nevertheless. he has found
that his favorite exercise. walking while
still giving him pleasure. must be pursued
with more caution than formerly.
Not long ago he had a visit from an old
school friend, a few years his Junior. who
exclaimed at the old gentleman's strength
and youthful appearance.
Il may look fairly young for my age"
was the reply, made with some sadness.
''but 1 am not what 1 was. Why, last week
I made one of my monthly trips to Boston,
and 1 had to take to the cars coming
home"

ed his friend. You don't mean to say
you're in the habit Of walking any such
distance"

this country. and went hunting on the
plains. We were instructed to extend every
courtesy to them, which we did, so much
SO that we were very considerably out of
pocket when they left: They rode one fine
horse to death. and took possession Of the
camp as il they owned 1t, and failed to re-
pay the courtesies by even thanking US
for them. I had to go to Sidney. Neb the
day they were to leave, and one of the
party asked to 60 with me. l granted the
request and he messed with me. In the
wagon was a quantity of liquor, to which
he devoted himself 50 assiduously that 1t
was gone by the time We reached Sidney.
When we were leaving the wagon the doc
tor said: Doctor, it is a cold morning.
Don't you think drink would do us good"
Il thought it would. and We went into
the hotei and the Englishman ordered two
drinks. When they were served. he paid
for his own and I had to pay for mine.
That is why 1 was not sorry that Lord
Dunraven met a club that insisted upon

Il can give you a pointer in your busi
ness" was the remark made by an cid citi-
zen to Star reporter. There have been
various statements made as to who origi-
mated newspaper interviewing. 1t has been
generally credited to Joe Mccullough of st.
Louis, but the fact is that Anne Royal,
who published weekly sheet in this city
in the 3Os. called the Paul Pry, did the
first newspaper work distinctively known
as interviews. She published several col
umns each week, and interviewed every
one she could reach, on political and social
questions. In 1885 she was indicted as
public scold''
There will be one man that know Of"
said well-known politician, who will be
disappointed by the declination Of ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell Of Ohio to allow himself to
be considered as a presidential candidate,
and that man is Mr.. John w. Drew
OF this city. Some years ago, when
Campbell was member of the House from
Ohio, Mr.. Drew, who knew Mrs. Campbell
we'll. told her that he thought in time her
husband would be elected governor of Ohio.
Mrs Campbell was pleased with the compli-
ment and answered if his prediction turn
ed out to be true she would accept him as
partner in the dance at the governors in
auguration ball. Time passed and Camp
bell was elected. and, true to her promise,
Mr.. Drew went to Columbus and had the
for the honor of dance with her at the
ball which would follow the Inauguration
of her husband as President of the United
States. and Mrs. Campbell again con-
Sc nted."
Political anecdote writers are now pre-
pairing their crop for the coming cam
paisns," observed one of them, land
though the supply Is large, 1t is by no
means large enough. The general politician
has no difficulty.as a rule, to write speeches
good enough for those who will likely hear
them, but he has trouble to constantly fur
nish enough anecdotes, and without them a
political talker does not make much of a nit
One speech will serve for several occasions
during a campaign, but anecdotes will
rarely go more than once"

The accident happened in Georgetown
about one week ago, and it may be told
briefly As follows:
The two leading characters are young
woman OF twenty-five and young man of
eighteen.

these tender years, this one Ia desperately
in love with a girl older than himself AS

the way through. Is just the kind Of girl

ticfpate.
He is an ambitious boy and wants to be a
man and have whiskers-as what boy does
not?-and when he went away on two
weeks visit, just before the time of this
episode. he thought he would give himself
chance.
When he returned home a week ago, the

young woman. She was glad to see him
and looked him over carefully and critical
ly to- see how he had stood the excitement
Of two weeks Of life outside of Georgetown.
Excuse me, Harry" she said, but there

The guileless Harry. knowing her kindly
mfnistration, whipped out his handkerchief
and essayed to rub it out

OF those VINO rub smuts off their faces
when reminded to do so by kind friend.

Piled. and she moistened it on her pretty
lips and gave the smut rub.
She shook her head, and Harry was he
ginning to grow nervous.
Let me have the handkerchief" he said,
and stepped over to mirror between the
windows.
His face seemed to be familiar to him, so
familiar that he gave a gasp almost Of de-
spair as he turned toward her.

that's my mustache'

ribly embarrassing that she has by no
means yet recovered. notwithstanding
Harry has had the smut removed with u
razor.
