Gen. Joseph Shelby, "Fighting Jo,"
who recently died at his farm near
Adrian, Mo-, was one of the real heroes
of the late war and as picturesque a
character ut it produced.
Gen. Shelby came of a distinguished
Kentucky family. He was born In the
neighborhood of Lexington. Ky, in
1881. Courage, courtliness and chival-
ry came to Shelby by Inheritance. His
grandfather was Isaac Shelby, the first
Governor of Kentucky. in whose day
the fighting Of Indians was a common
occupation. His father was Col James
Shelby. who played Il part at the battle
of the 1llMnes under William II, lry
Harrison. and came out of the war Of
1912 with the luster of glorious deeds.
He went to Missouri tifty-three years
ago and settled in Audrain County,
where for a great many years he car
ried on an extensive business as 4
planter in connection with his step
father.
When the war broke out Gen. Shelby
espodsed the Southern cause with all
the ardOr of his nature and When he
refused to surrender after Appomattox
and crossed into Mexico, he took with
him thousand men who had been
Governors. Judges, Senators, Generals
and Colonels. Among them were Gems.
Smith. Magruder, Iiindman. Lyon Of
Kentucky, Laedbetter and Wilcox of
Lees army, Cows. Murrah of Texas,
Morehead OF Kentucky, Allen Of Louisi-
ana and Trusten Polk of Missouri, and
Senator Harris of Tennessee and Sen.
atOr Vest Of Missouri.
There was dramatic separation on
the field near Corsicana, Tex. There
still remained with Shelby GOO bold
troopers. and they had an abundant
supply of arms, ammunition and sup
plies. They determined to march into
Mexico and become soldiers of fortune
with Juarez or Macmillan. They
marched to Waco and Austin in we'll

my OLD KENTUCKY HOME"
The House Still Standing Where the
Famous Song Was Written,

The House Still Standing Where the
Famous Song Was Written.
The house is still standing near
BarGstown. Ky. where Stephen Col
. Inns Foster wrote the world-famous
song. MY Old Kentucky Home" 1t is
known as Federal Hill the residence
place Of the Rowan family for almost
century.
In the late sos, only five or six years
before his death, Foster. then living in
Pennsylvania. was invited by the Row.
ans to pay an extended visit to Federal
Hill. On this visit his sister Eliza ac-
companied him, and the stay in old
Kentucky, as Foster often said, was
one Of the most pleasant periods Of his
life. Surrounded by all that was beau.
tiful, it was easy for the man who had
given expression to so many soul-stir

Home" .'Massa's in the Cold Ground"
etc.-to compose the tribute to the man

as long as Kentucky can produce sin.
gle voice capable of humming it's sweet
notes. 1t Is doubtless probable that
Foster composed the three verses Of
MY Old Kentucky Home" in quite as
many days, and gave a fitting musical
expression to the words employed as
rapidly as his pencil dropped the lines.
He was inspired alike by the beautiful
sunshine Of the mornings and the yell
low moonlight of the nights that fell
upon Federal Hill, by the waving gold
en- grain, the hush Of the corn, the me-
groes performing their duties, the lazy
little darkies in the cabins, and finally
by the warblings Of the hooking bird,
the thrush's mellow song and the fife
like notes Of the Kentucky cardinal,
made word renowned by james Lane
Allen; and the writing Of the undying
verses must have been a labor Of love.
my Old Kentucky Home is charac-
teriZed by melancholy. Foster seems
to have had presentiment that the
days Of slavery were numbered. and

Mr.. Detwiler tall and apparently well

told me the trouble was insomnia. and I
took his medicine for that, but without re-
prostration, but his medicine had no more
effect than the same amount Of water.

testimony Of a person who had been cured
