raised on high, he said;' Boys, this is
the heaviest blow yet dealt us. Lin

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
The STORY OF A SPY.
which II Has Taken History Thirty
Six Years to Write.

Which 1t Has Taken History Thirty
Six Years to Write.
At the beginning of the great civil
war in 1861 Samuel w. Kenney, Penn
sylvanian by birth, was engaged in busi-
mess in Pulaski, Tenn. He owned farm
of231 acres near that place and had So, 900
worth of cotton stored there. He was
a strong union man, and the southern
ers burned his cotton and made it inn
possible for him to live among them.
A mob attacked his house, and he and
his family, after hiding several days
in the woods, made their way northward
and went to their old home in Penn
sylvarlia.
In September, 1862, Kenney joined
the command of Gem James S. Negley
at Pittsburgh and entered active service
as a spy. He went to Louisville and
thence entered the confederate lines.
he was recognized and betrayed by one
of his old Tennessee neighbors and was
arrested by Bragg's forces at Lynch
burg.
From this point Samuel w. Kenney
disappeared. His family knew that he
had been captured and believed that he
had been executed, but proof of that
fact was unobtainable. In 1867 Mrs.
lKepney left Pennsylvania and removed
to Dwight, ILL.,, where she has resided
ever since. Two sons, Alexander and
John, now grown to sturdy manhood,
live in Chicago.
Twenty years ago they made an at
tempt to obtain a pension for their
mother, but failed, because the depart
mens records at Washington did not
show that the missing spy of 1862 had
been regularly enlisted, and there was
no proof of his death. Quite recently,
however, Congressman 'Woodman, of
this city, found in the war department
an unofficial reference to the execution
of a northern spy named Kenney at
Tallahoma, Tenn, February 13, 1868.
This proof was regarded as sufficient,
and pension has just been granted to
the aged widow in Dwight.
Recently Alexander Kenney and his
brother John went to Tennessee to
discover if possible any further facts
about the fate of their father. They
visited Tallahoma and were most hos
lpitably received by the town officials.
1t was suggested by the mayor that an
aged woman who had lived in the place
ever since the war might know some
thing about the death of the northern
spy, and she was visited.
"There were only four men killed in
ITullahoma during the war;" she said,
positively. "Three of them We're con-
federates and they were buried in the
town cemetery. The other one was a
spy who had been caught by Bragg's
men. I saw them take him out of the
Jail and put him into n wagon and saw
him sitting on a coffin. They drove
away with him and heard that he had
been hanged, but don't know where
Can you remember the name of that
spy?" asked one of the Chicagoans.
"Yes," she replied, slowly, "his name
was Kenney."
But this seemed to be as far as the
search could be carried. There were no
town records which would throw light

Illusions of Animals.

A curious instance of animal illusion
was seen recently on the Thames. A
cockswain, seeing his reflection in the
window of a partly sunken boathouse,
proceeded to make a valiant attack on
the opposing creature; his wife and
family, which he probably thought he
was defending, stood about in amaze
ment and finally the warrior himself
began to experience misgivings, for he
stopped and pecked curiously at the
frame of the window. Birds are, per-
haps, more commonly the victims of
illusions than other animals, their stu
pidity about their eggs being remarka-
bic. For instance, last season hen got
into the pavilion of ladies' golf club
and proceeded to set on a golf ball in a
nest which she made with a couple of
pocket handkerchief

OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
A Primitive Cabin Built by Gen.
Sherman's Hands
He Put Up the Crazy Little Structure
in Kansas in 1859, and Dug the
Cellar Under It-Is Now
n Tool House.

There is queer old tumble-down
cabin on the banks of Indian creek,
near Topeka, Kan, which has historical
interest. 1t is frame structure of two
rooms. At present it is somewhat di-
lapidated, but once it was the l 0me of
William Tecumseh Sherman. 1t is %
feet long by IL wide, with partition in
the middle. The house stands on II
patch of ground bounded on the north
end east by well-cultivatcd farms, the
west by Indian creek and the south by
the old government trail. 1t faces the
cast and is ON an elevation. AT present
IL is unoccupied, and the neighbors de-
clare it is haunted.
The cabin timbers were laid in posi-.
tion, the walls plastered and the roof
fastened on by the hands of William Te-
cumseh Sherman. He built and occu-
pied this cabin in 1859. In 1858 he was
in the practice of law at Leavenworth,
Kan. He found that the receipts from
his profession were insufficient for his
support, and he decided to turn farmer
for awhile in an effort to add to his in
come. To that end he purchased land
i'll the northeastern portion of Shawnee
county, six miles north of Topeka. The
old military trail ran by the place on the
south, being government thorough
fare between Forts Leavenworth and
Riley.
AS shown in the picture, as reproduced
from the New York Sun, the cabin has
two rooms. The general built only one
room, the other having been added some
time afterward. He built. the portion
shown to the right in the picture. He
also dug cellar under it, for Kansas
was just as hot and dry then as it is
now. 1t did not take long to make the
cabin ready for occupancy, and Sher-
man, the farmer, was soon living in his
own domicile and tilling the rich soil
on his place.
Down on the east bank of the creek,
about half a mile from the cabin, there
was an old sawmill which was owned
and operated by an Indian of the Pot
tawatomie tribe, John Ogee. The old
fellow had saved up money and built
it. One Sunday morning Sherman took

upon the matter and no additional facts
could be learned. Returning to the rail-
way station, the two Chicagoans fell
into conversation with the railway
agent, Archibald Smith, and incidental
ily mentioned their mission while wait
ing for train.
"Well, boys, I'm sorry for you," he
said, "but 1 guess I can help you some.

12 years old then, and the sight was
stamped upon my mind indelibly, for
i was scared nearly to death Besides,
the body was buried on my fathers
farm, and for many years afterward
used to shudder and run as fast as
could whenever had to pass the spot"
The trio, led by the southerner, quick
'ly passed through the little town, an3
just outside the suburbs, ON the north
western side, halt was made.
"They hanged your father to that
sycamore tree by the spring." said the
guide. "IIis body was buried about
halfway up that hill over there and
the grave wasn't marked. You'll never
findlit now.'
But the two Chicagoans weDS over
every foot of the hillside. A recent
freshet had washed away part of the
bank and undermined the hill so that
part of the ragged edge gave way be
meath the feet of Alexander Kenney,
and he saw protruding from the bank
the two lower leg bones of skeleton.

Peculiar Marriage Custom.

A very peculiar custom is prevalent
in Lithuana. On the occasion of the cele-
bration of marriage, the mother of the
bride, in the presence of numerous Wit
nesses, administers to her daughter a
vigorous box on the ears. In case Of
dispute between the husband and wife
at any later period, this blow may be
cited as n plea for divorce, she contend
ing that she was restrained to enter the
bonds of matrimony by physical force.

u walk down by the sawmill. Ogee was
sitting on a log, smoking his long pipe
and looking down into the water. Sher-
man approached and saluted the red
man. He talked and asked questions,
but the Indian replied not n word; he
didn't even look up. He sat and gaZed
into the water in silence. In returning
to his cabin Sherman met a neighbor,
and he related his unsuccessful inter-
view. "Well, sir, I've seen lazy people,"
said he, but that is the first time that
ever saw a man who was too lazy to
talk"
1t is said that Sherman made a good
farmer. He was hard worker, and,
although he was somewhat queer, he
had many friends throughout the coun-
ty. In the spring of 1860 he built new
house on knoll quarter of mile from
the cabin. 1t is yet in good state of
preservation, although it never has been
painted. o. z. Goodrich, jolly old
farmer, now lives in it, and he loves to
tell of the ghost stories which are afoat
about the old cabin. The house con-
tains seven rooms. Sherman never oc-
cupied this house.
When Sherman was called away from
his farm he moved his few belongings
from his cabin home and said good-by
to the old place. 1t has never been oc-
cupied since, though at present a farmer
keeps his farm tools in it. There has
been some talk of tearing down the old
structure but there has been such Wig
orous objection made that the project
has been abandoned,

WOMAN AND THE CAMERA.
Photography as Profession Should APP
peal to the Fair Sen.

Photography as a Profession Should APP
peal to the Fair Sex
Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston,
the Photographic artist, writes, in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on What q
Woman Can Do With Camera" tell
ing the requisites for artistic and flRan-
cial success in the pursuit of phOtog-
raphy as a profession. 1t is a profess
sion," she contends, that should
strongly appeal particularly to women
and in 1t there are great opportunities
for a good-paying business-but only
under very well-defned cOnulLlons.
The prime requisites-as summed up In
my mind after long experience and
thought are these: The woman who
makes photography profitable must
have, as to personal qualities, good
common sense, unlimited patience to
carry her through endless fatlures,l
equally unlimited tact, good taste, ~
quick eye, talent for detail, and a
genius for hard work. In addition, she
needs training, experience, some capi-
tai, and field to exploit This may
seem, at first glance, an appalling list,
but it is incomplete rather than eXag-
gerated; although to an energetic, am
bilious woman, with even ordinary op-
portunities, success is always possible,
and hard, intelligent and conscientious
work seldom fails to develop small be-
| ginnings into large results.
Good work should command good
prices and the wise woman win place
paying value upon her best efforts.
1t is a mistaken business policy to try
and build up trade by doing something
badly cheaper than some body else.
AS to your personal attitude, be bust
ness-like in all your methods; cultivate
tact, an affable manner, and an unfail-
ing courtesy. It costs nothing but
little self-conIol and determination to
be patient and good-natured under
most circumstances. A pleasant, ObHg-
ing and business-like bearing win Of
ten prove the most important part OF
clever woman's capital"
