Two Good War Storieso

The Rev. Robert Wilson Of St.
Luke's Episcopal Church is credited
by the Charleston Nc,cs and Courier
with saying:
In 1883 I met in Richmond a
Colonel Mccoy of Pennsylvania, who
had been a gallant wearer of the blue.
We got quite chumnly over the mixed
wood campfire, and, wishing to put
him at his ease, I told him the story
of Kershaw's magnificent reconnois-
sance at Fredericksburg, which can
never be too often repeated. An
orderly had arrived in hot haste with
a command for General Kershaw to
have the enemy reconnoitered at all
hazards from a knoll which was swept
by the fire of the sharpshooters Of
both armies. Every bush and tree
lad been cut away by the storm of
bullets, and it looked like certain
death to the man who should attempt
it. Calmly Singing his field glass
and turning over his command to the
next Office in rank, Joseph B. Ker-
shaw rode slowly up to the death trap,
into which he would not send any
other man. The sight of his heroic
action as he sat amid the whistling
minnies, sweeping the opposing ranks
with his glass, was too much for the
chivalry of the Yankee commander,
and the order went down the Federal
line, Cease firing on that officer !
The rifles became silent, the reconnois-
ssnce was finished, and raising his
cap in acknowledgement, General
Kershaw quietly rode back at walk
unharmed.
"It was splendid incident" re-
marked Colonel Mccoy, "butI can
cap it with a personal experience of
the chivalrous disposition of your
men. I was on General Meade's staff
near Richmond, and one morning,
with the General at our head, we rode
down to take look over the river.
As we turned sharply out Of the bushes
and came out on the bank we found
ourselves in point blank range of a
Confederate picket drawn up on the
other side. A volley would have
emptied every saddle, for we were
entirely at their mercy. But it would
have been murder, for they could not
cross and capture us. Recognizing
General Meade, the commander of the
detachment ordered his men into line,
and they presented arms. We raised
our caps in grateful acknowledgment,
rode slowly back into the bushes, and,
as soon as we were fairly out of sight,
put spurs to our horses and scudded
back to the camp as if the devil was
after us.

Watering and Feeding Horses and
Mules

CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. c., July o.
Most of the gastric and intestinal dis
orders of the hnrse and mule are brought
about by injudicious feeding and water
ing.
Since the stomach of the horse is very
small in comparison to the frame it i'm
medately suggests the question: how
often are we to feed the horse and mule !?
Water STAYS but short while in the
stomach Of the horse or mule, and there
fore it always must be given to the ami
NAL before anything at all is fed, as any
food not yet prep red by the juices of the
stomach to enter for further digestion
the intestines will, when washed oft of
the stomach by water drank, act upon the
| intestines the same as All irritant, and
thus cause collie and other intestinal dis
turbances more or less serious in nature.
Consequently the cardinal rule in water
| ing horses is water before feeding"
II horse or mule comes in exhausted
or wet with sweat, it is well to allow a
moderate draft of not too cold water.
Next rub the animal dry. after that give
him a reasonable amount of water and
| finally feed grain, hay or fodder.
Experience teaches us that feeding the
domesticated horse three times daily is
suffi icient. If old and unable to masticate
| the grain properly, as shown by whole
| grains appearing, which at the same time
may be due to discussed teeth or too greed y

| Horses should not be fed when heated
or imm ediate)y before or after hard work.
A very wrong idea prevalent among our
people is to feed the horse or mule an
extra mess because be is about to do
some extra hard work, be this long
drive or hard work on the farm. In either
case positive harm is most likeiy TO follow
such practice and invariably can fatal

The Luck Of q Letter.

There are twenty-six letters in the
English alphabet, but the letter "n'
beats all the others combined as
the final letter in Presidential
names. The first President was in
augurated in 1889 and since that time
the terms of the men whose names end
with that letter aggregate 55 years,
while those of the men whose names
end with other letters aggregate only
SO years. This is true without con-
sidering the fact that in 1884 Jackson
received plurality of the popular and
electoral vote. while Adams was chosen
by the House, and in 1876 Tilden was
elected, but counted out. Add the
terms of these two, and it would give
the final "n' the approval of the peo-
pie for 64 out of 107 years.
No man whose name ended with an
"n" was beaten before the people by
one who had different final letter ex-
cept in 1896, when Adams received
more electoral votes than Harrison.
On the other hand the final en- tri-
umphed with Washington in 1889
and 1892. Jefferson in 1900 and 1904.
Madison in 1908, Jackson in 1924 and
1882, Buchanan in 1856, Lincoln in
1860, and Harrison in 1888. In 1924, as
already stated, Jackson received a
plurality of the popular and electoral
vote, and in 1876 Tilden was really
elected. In 1886, 1910 and 1864 the
names of both candidates ended
with ''n," while in 1916, 1920, 1874,
l848, 1852, 1868, 1872, 1880 and 1884
each candidate had a different final
letter
Mr.. Bryan has the lucky letter at
the end of his name, and the super
stitious may trust to it as much as
they please. The Times Union alludes

condolences. 1t believes that MIR.

"A leading statistician has calculated
that the annual circulation of newspapers
in the world is somewhere In the close
neighborhood of OO,OOO,OO0 copies.
''To graep an idea of this magnitude"
says the Buffalo Commercial, "it may be
stated that this enormous circulation
would cover no less than 10 80 square
miles of surface. 1t is printed on 7Sl ,250
tons of paper and if the number 12,000,-
100000 represented seconds instead of
papers it would take over 1888 years for
the time to elapse. In lieu Of this ar
rangement we might press and pile them
vertically upward to gradually reach our
highest mountains. Topping all these
and even the highest Alps, the pile would
reach the magnificent altitude of 400, or,
in round mum bers, 500 miles. Calculating
that the average man spends five minutes
reading his paper in the day (this is very
low estimate), we find that the people of
the world altogether annually occupy
time equivalent to 100000 years reading
the papers.

- Mrs. Sophie Hoffman, widow, OF
Austin Texas, is charged with unique
violation of the postal laws. Post
Office Inspector Dice arrested her on
a complaint of young man of another
State, whom by letter writing she had
beguiled into falling in love with her.
Photographs were exchanged and
marriage agreed upon. Probably un-
aware that she was violating Section
334 of the postal laws, relative to
using the mails for improper purposes,
Mrs. Hoffman requested her 6ance to
send railroad fare and money for other
necessary expenses, so that she might
meet him and be married. The money
was sent, and from that moment the
widow, the young man alleges, was
''as mute as the harp that hung on
Tara S wall" The deceived man put
the matter in the hands of the post
office authorities, and Mrs. Hoffman
was arrested ot Austin by Inspector
Woods, and is now in Jail.
