locked her out one night when she was
late from ball, but it was decorous
and restful to grieve somewhat, new

the Jewish inhabitants greatly fear lest another

SCOTT AND TooMBs.
How tho General Took the Fiery Captains
Startling Announcement.

When General Robert Toomb of Georgia
was young man in his twentios, he raised
volunteer company and Joined General
Scott, who was then conducting cam
pnign against tho Indians in Florida
Even In his carly youth Toombs was noted
for his self confidence md his aggressive
bearing. He was without military train
ing, and had never submitted to rules and
discipline, ut college or anywhere else.
Naturally, when no met General Scott 1t
was case of oil and water-they would
not mix.
The general knew the character of his
rcd enemies, and no was In no hurry to ut
tack them in the positions which they had
chosen. He waited day after day, deter
mined not to move forward until he was
satisfied TINT no would DO successful with
out the sacrifice of many valuable lives.
This delay did not suit tho Georgia cap
tain. Ho frottod, fumcd and swore at tho
slow methods of his commander
Ono night Ioombs felt that he could
stand it no longer. Going to the generals
tent. he found Scott engaged in pleasant
conversation with dozen officers of high
rank. General Scott greeted him pleas-
antly, and invited him to join tho circle
OF military mon who were telling stories
of camp life.
OeDcrsii OcOCU, S0l0 IOOmDS In q stern
tone, II desire to know, sir, whether the
army will march against the enemy with
in tho next fow days.
u am not ready yet to answer that ques
tion." replied tho general, with smile.
Then, sir" continued tho youthful
captain, II will notify you that unless tho
army marches tomorrow l propose to 90
forward with my company into the very
heart of tho Indian territory"
When this astounding declaration was
made, tho officers expected tho general to
administer whitening rcbuie. To their
establishment Scott mover changed his gen
ial expression. His eyes twinkled with
good hnmor, and he turned IL serene and
benignant face upon his audacous visitor.
Very we'll, captain" was his quiet an
swcr In soothing tone, "uso your own
pleasure, by all means. Take your COM
pany tomorrow and march into the Indian
country. Wo may follow you fow weeks
later, but don't wait for u.s. Take your
company and go ahead. Good night, cap
tainl"
When Toombs heard this, "a look of DO.
wildorment came over his face but not n
word foil from his lips. He saluted the
commander and bowed himself out.
Did he march his company against the
enemy the next day?' was my natural
question.
"No. Ho said nothing more about it.
Ho remained ut his post and was an ex-
empary officer during the remainder of
tho war. And no was not chaffed about
the affair either. He WAS not the man to
stand such treatment. '-Chicago Times
