THREW HER IN.

upon the forbearance of the brave men
whom she had annoyed past endurance.
She had beena absent for about ten days,
and the officers and men were beginning
tohope that they had seen the last Of her,
when the report came that she had Gu
gagged board with respectable family
some distance down the river. She was
dressed better than ever, was well sup
piled with money, and claimed to be the
wife Of one of the most popular gen
erals in the army. The people where
she boarded did not know her, and nc
oepted her statement that she desired 10
be near her husband for few weeks.
On the second night of her stay the
supposed wife of the general came home
roaring drunk In the company Of two
rough-looking soldiers, who were driven
off with great difficulty by the family.
Mrs. General then got mad and turned
her tongue loose. She Mortified the in
mates of the cottage by dancing the
can-can, and wound up with the an
nouncement that she was Confederate
Sal.
When the news Of these Hight inks
reached camp there was unbcunded in
dignation. 1t was agreed that Sal had
insulted the whole army by masquerade
ing as the wife Of their fayorite general,
and few determined men got together
and held quiet consultation. That
night about dozen soldiers slipped Out
Of the camp and went down the river To
the log cabin in which Sal had sought
shelter after being elected from the cot
tage.
AS the visitors expected, they found
the woman sleeping of the effects Of
her heavy potations. They awakened
her rudely and told her the object OF
their mission.

LODGE OR CHURCH,
Which Is the More Important in a
TOWN.

Evangelist Glascock who has been
conducting revivals here said to the
REFLECTOR the other day, comment
ing on the lack Of interest in the
meetings, "Ablene has too many
lodges for church work to flourish. :"
In this connection we note that Rev.
s. E. Belts, formerly pastor of the
M. E. church at Hope and later at
Herington, is now stirring up his con-
gregation at Armourdale on the same
subject. Last Sunday he took some
Of his members to task for going to
lodge too much. He said
"Some good saints give more atten-
ton to their lodge than they do to
their church. asked young man
once to give his heart to God and go
along with his parents on the way to
heaven. The fellow opened my eyes
by saying: Look here, my parents
may be going halfway but they never
asked me to 60 along. have known
my mother to put on rubbers and get
under an umbrella to 60 to lodge
meeting but ! never knew her to 90
to prayer meeting even on a clear
night
"The man or woman who goes to a
lodge meeting or any other meeting"
continued the Rev. Mr.. Belts, "while
the pastor is laboring for the saliva
ton of souls ought to be ashamed. ]
wish that the next time any of you
Methodists do such a thing as that
that the members Of the lodge would
point their fingers at you and say;
Shame on you make no war on
secret orders, for belong to one or
two myself, but do claim that dur
ing this harvest time in the church
that it is your place and mine togo to
church il we are able to 90 anywhere.
Your lodge can get along without you
for a meeting or two. You cannot
afford to throw your influence against
the church. The church is divine
and the lodge human work. II some
Of the members of our churches would
give as much Of their time to build
ing up the church as they do their
lodges, they would enjoy better
quality Of religion and the unsayed
would have more respect for the
church and Christ and the professors
of the King. When there is a conflict
between your church and your lodge
the one that you attend is the one
that you deem Of most Importance. y

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
CONFEDERATE SAL"

010 0rC1 10 v0AnsA008 HVoAoAA ~ tSSs8
Armisa
During the latter part OF the war tho
confederates went into camp about Co
lumbia, on Duck river in Tennessee.
The soldiers were half-clad, half-fed
and thoroughly desperate. They were
In no mood to be trifed with, and when
the provocation came they were q law
unto themselves
While they were in camp at this place
q woman who had followed the army
for months gave the officers consider
able trouble. She was utterly depraved
and shameless. and she was not pretty
enough to cause her escapades to be
leniently regarded.
This woman did not even have name.
She was known us Confederate Sal, and
was heartily detested by the soldiers
and citizens.
1t was impossible to tell where Sal
would break out next, or what new and
startling carers she held in reserve.
One week she would make her appear
ance in Columbia elegantly dressed and
conducting herself like lady. A few
days later she would be found covered
with rags and dirt, gloriously drunk
and shockingly profane.
Then the patience Of the officers
would give way, and the brazen adven-
turess would be sent 20 miles away and
left in the woods in the hope that she
would never return. II was useless 10
resort to such mild methods. After a
few days absence Sal would return with
new outfit and would remain until she
got into disgrace again.
Nobody could learn anything OF Aer
past history. She invented SO many
different Biographies that none Of her
stories could be believed. Some said
that she was soldiers widow, but
others declared she had been we'll
known as disreputable character in
several confederate cities. No matter
who she might have been In the past, the
soldiers looked upon her Us holy ter
ror, and her evil fame spread into the
federal lines, where it was reported that
she had strayed upon more than one &C.
casion.
In the course Of time Confederate Sal
became a yexatious problem to both
armies. Once party OF confederates
seized her while she was drunk and car
red her into the federal camps, where
they Left her. The wetched creature
was discovered the next day by the fed
erals, and promptly sent back to the
other side.
They tried everything TO get rid Of
her, but she never failed to return. She
was locked in the guardhouse, whipped
and threatened with death, but all to nc
purpose. Generals and colonies used tC
fly from her as they would from cy
Clone Her temper was furious beyond
description, and the most hardened mer
could not listen to her foul and profant
tongue.
She was dangerous, too. Sometimes
she was remarkably well-dressed, with
plenty Of money to spend, and the Off
