Governor Matthews is telling a good

says the Indianapolis Journal. In

between two mountains, which shut out
all communication with the outside
world there lived an old planter who,
while an ardent adherent of the South
eTn cause, was too badly crippled by
iLfirmities to shoulder a musket and
march barefooted But he had a son
whom he sent. and after the boy had
disappeared down the road the old man

and sorrow that he used TO quiet his
faith in the ultimate victory of the con-
Tolerate army, and any doubt expressed

The years wore on and news failed TO
arrive. The valley was deserted and
there was no one to learn the course or

and waited impatiently for news. One
