Among the prisoners taken by the
Union troops at the time Pickett made
his great charge at Gettysburg, was a
Virginia sergeant. He was Mason.
Captain John A, kellogg, OF the Sixth
Wisconsin gave him 4 drink Of some
thing reviving from his canteen and put
some ratlons in his empty haversack
Their pRpting was that of brothers.
In December, 1854. when Kellogg was
n colonel commanding his regiment, /
accompanied him on n ride along the
picket line a few miles to the left Of
Petersburg. BY some means, and
without knowing It, we got between the
picket lines. We were brought 20 a
halt suddenly by the following unmll-
itary salutatlon:
ia that you, Captain Kellogg?"
Looking up, and about two rods to the
right. we saw lieutenant and a dozen
men In gray, who had apparently Just
taken their arms In preparation for SER
ious business.
That's my name. sir" answered the
colonel. ..-.,....- ..,..., ....-
beg pardon-colonel Kellogg. You
were captain at Gettysburg. Allow me
to extend congratulations upon your
promotion"
1t was becoming interesting, and both
of us were making plans for shooting
match between dozen Johnny plckets,
with guns,in their hands and two off,
GERS who had only revolvers, and they
not In hand.
Guess you don't remember me, Colo
mel"
81 guess that is so. said Kellogg; and
he was more nervous than 1 ever saw
him In battle.
I'm the sergeant YOU gave nip
from your canteen and whose haver-
sack you filled at Gettysburg They
have nude me lieutenant since then.
I'd like to have visit with you, but the
officer Of the day is due here. Guess you
had better get back TO your lines"
THANK you, lieutenant" said the col
onel. salutlng; and as we turned to
leave the Confederate gave the COM
mand: Shoulder arms! Right dress!
Present arms!' Then both Of us lifted
our hats. There was fraternity for
you.-Chlcago Times Herald.

The following conversation is said to
have occurred on the floor OF the house
of representatives in the Fiftyfirst Con-
gress, and is given on the responsibility
of Isaac R. Hill. The talk took place
between Major Mckinley and Major
Martin. Of Texas, both being inveterate
smokers:
Major Martln-MaJor Mckinley, you
ought not to smoke those interstate
cigars.
Major MoKlnley-what do you mean
by Interstate cigars?
Major Martin-why. mean cigars
that when smoked in one state, can be
smelled in all the other states.
Major McKinley--And you, Major
Martin, should not smoke those Robin
son Crusoe cigars OF yaurs.
Major Martin-What do you mean by
Robinson Crusoe cigars?
Major McKinley-Why castaways, OF
course.

A snail's tongue Is renlly ono of The
most wonderful things in nature, and
II larger animals were endowed with as
destructive an apparatus in the way OF
tongue. In comparison to their size,
II would be dreadful thing.
A snails tongue Is literally saw,and
n band-saw at that. 1t Is long and COW
cred over the entire surface with teeth
so minute that 10000 OF them have been
counted on tongue The tongue Is kept
colled up and about n. sixth OF the
length used at a time. When the teeth
on this section become dull another sec
ton Is uncoiled and used. This is kept
up until the entire tongue has been used
when II Is colled up again and a fresh
start made, for the teeth on the unused
part have in the meantime grown't to be
as sharp as ever.
The roof OF the mouth Is as hard as n
bone and any substance. that is to be
cut IS drawn between the tongue and
this hard roof and literally sawed or
rnsped of.
A man with a knife could hardly trim
off n leaf and leave n cleaner or
straighter edge than the snail leaves,
and there Is nothing OF the proverbial
slowness of the snail in Its work.

AT last the fair girl sighed, and tapped
one OF her dainty feet upon the heavy
carpet.
Algernon Hendricks only gnawed his
mustache. and swung his left foot over
his right knee,

with myself" Miss Kirkpatrick sald.
''Indeed?" the young man returned
Yes" she went on. II have been
thinking OF It for long time, and at last

Mr.. Hendricks said, In hesttatlng tones,
for he was tlmid. although he had inher-
lied S36O,000 from his father, and had a
right to act as II he owned the earth.
~ am going to offer my services to the
church as a missionary, and try IN secure

"Oh, Miss Kirkpatrick" the young
man exclaimed, you must not think OF
doing such thing as thai, It would be
cruel"
"Cruel?" the beautiful maiden echoed
"And do you call 1t cruel 10 teach the

"Are-are you sure?"

Because-because you don't care to

She had gently taken one OF his hands
In hers, and drawn his arm around her
waist. Then she looked wisfully up into
his face. The light was very low, and
she had to get very close in order to see
h!m-so close that at last her sweet,
moist Hips got under his mustache, and
then, after a long. lingering kiss he said;
Dear little girl. how love you? And

There was glaucoma in the EYE Of

Athens was darkness. All her radiant
beauty was marred. Even the frozen

ant. What dlmmed It all was her foul

skill he covers himself from the capital
charge OF introducing new deity by
Affirming that the God he proclaims Il
the one whom they have already wor,
SHIPPED, whom they have been feeling
after II haply they might find him,
though at no time was he far from them.
Having gained this vantage he strikes
polytheism by affirming the unity OF
God. Against the heather idea of tho
eternity of matter, he asserts Its crea-
tlon. Next, he asserts a spirituality OF
GOD which renders temples unnecessary.
and an independence which makes II i'm
possible for man TO serve him. The
uext step in this cumulative argument

Its Providential distribution. and an
omnipresence which inswathes every

Having now broken with his
auditory, he regains his hold by the

Cleanthes affirm, he must be like his

sermon, which began with oil the arts

sinners to repentance. Standing as he
