General Nichols Of Louisiana com

jackson. LII one of the three famous
victories over Banks, Milroy and Shields,
says the Nashville American, the Louisi-
ana brigade bore Il conspicuous part,
and its gallant commander was carried
from the field mortally wounded, as
every Ii supposed, but good nursing
and skillful surgery saved the life of
the general. He left n leg and an arm
on the battlefield and lost one of his
eyes. He wears an artificial leg on one
side of his body and an arm on the OPP
positc. The pluck which enabled him
to withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life.

sticks to him yet, and he is one of the
most jovial of men, enjoying a good
joke as much as anybody. He tells this
on himself:
When canvassing for governor, he
was invited by a lady who knew of his
loss of limbs to make her house his
nOllc, anu ne a'ccplcu. one OruETGu ner
manservant, who knew nothing of the
generals misfortune, to see that he WIS
comfortably put to bed. The darby felt
proud of the honor of serving II distin-
guished general and the next governor,
and the general was inclined to be com
municativc, which delighted the negro
very much and made him feel at home
with his guest. When he took the gen
erals arm off and laid it on the table,
he commenced to express great SYM
pathy, saying:
at sho' is bad for q man to lose he
arm dat erway! An dc Yankees done
dis, did dey?"
When the general told him t o take
his leg off, the negro thought he was
joking, but went at it in Il businessliEe
way, though he wa almost ready to
shed tears of sympathy this time. Plac-
ing the leg on the table by the side of
the arm and looking at tho general, he
said:
"Umph! Leg off on IL side an arm
off on t'other. Dat is too bad, to cut Il
man up in dat sort o. way"
The general saw the opportunity for
a little fun had come, so, leaning his
body forward, said.
"Come, now, take my head off"
But the negro was zone.

LETTER FROM THE RANCH.


After four weeks spent in the east l
find myself back at the ranch with its
isolation, with the chatter of the mag
pies for music during the day and the
yelping of the coyotes as a serenade at
night. l have been at home two weeks
n have not seenSa woman. TO the
jewellers in the east this may seeen I'M
endurable, but there is a silver lining.

a very bad cough, of which l am being
cured by this clear. dry atmosphere.
Nowhere do the stars shine clearer at
night, Forever singing as they shine,
the hand that made us is divine" Not
even in famed Italy are the skies bluer,
and the winds bring no malaria, but
healing upon their wings.
Wyoming is about closing a very
prosperous year. Grass is ripe and
plentiful. Cattle and sheep are laying
in a stock of fat that will either fit
them for market or to withstand the
long and cold winter that is sure to
come, against which stockmen are pro-
vided with the best crop of hay they
have had for years. Not many sheep
will go to the shambles this year., as
sheepmen are now feeling much en-
couraged at the outlook. Wool this
year sold for more than double the price
of three preceding years. Wyoming is
so dependent upon the stock business
that anything that helps the stockmen
helps the financial condition Of the state
at once.

forever, wondering whether it would
not some time pass by. l passed through
the grape fields of New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. While l had long
known of the lake shore grapes it was
a revelation to me to see thousands OF
acres devoted exclusively to grape
farming. stretching back for miles up
on the hillsides until they looked in the
distance like ROY of potatoes in a po-
tato patch, cultivated as they are on
trellises about three feet high. Twice
I passed through the St. Clare tunnel
and realized that the quiet waters over
head were making their way to be dash
ed over the brink of Niagara.
Port Huron is a very pretty and in
teresting town, many of its streets
shaded by the Lombardy poplar. Never
have l seen those trees grow in such
symmetry and perfection; they seem
to be indigenous to the soil Of the lake
shore and are much in evidence in Port
Huron as is the maple in Detroit. I saw
the house where Edison played his boy

HER SOUL UNEURDENED.

A Young Brides Confession In the Wan
Ing Of the Honeymoon.
Charley Wheeler and Lucille Sprock-
EFT had been married nearly three weeks,
and they had just returned from their
wedding trip. They We're srpremely
happy i'll each others love, and the
honeymoon S o far had been to them as
one long, blissful dream. Within the
next day or two. however, the bride
grew slightly depressed in spirits. and
an uneasy feeling seemed to take pos
session of her. The young husband no.
ticed the change, but attributed it to
fatigue from the recent travels. But his
bride grew more nervous and took on
such a troubled expression that he said
to her:
lyon have something on your mind,
darling, that is troubling you. Tell me
what it is"
At first she tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken. that nothing
worried her.
"You are wrong, Charley, dear"
she would say. Really, | am not wor-
rying over anything. l am just as
happy as can De.
The day following, however, the
young wife wore such a troubled look
that her husband said to her:
Lucille, you must tell me what is
troubling you. will not be put off airy
longer. AS your husband l have u right
to know"
Seeing that further concealment was

A sickening sensation swept over the
young husband. Surely there must be
some mistake. She. whom he had looked
upon as the personification of innocent
womanhood-deceive him! 1t must not
be. 1t would destroy his happiness and
blight his life. And then, when he
caught a sudden vision of the horrible
possibilities of the situation, he became
sick at heart and almost fell to the
floor. Then, with n great effort. he
controlled his feelings
Tell me, he said. II am prepared
for the worst"
"Oh, Charley, l am so sorry!"
