ever, afforded the company mucl
amusement for the first three months
and time and time again we expected
to see bloodshed. The smallest trifi,

"And say you are liar!"
I'm q liar, am i! Now you come
right out on the street and put up

Then the twins would appear on the
company street, strip of their jackets
and blow and brag and call names, and
after collecting crowd would end the
matter with threats of what would
happen at some future time. We soon
came to understand them and gave
them no further attention, but hardly
a day passed that they did not go
through the performance. Our first
battle was at Williamsburg. The regi-
nent was sent into the fallen timber
to drive out lot of sharp-shooters.
They were outnumbered, but they gave
way grudgingly, and for every foot
they yielded they killed man. The
twins were among the first to push
their way in, but even amidst the roar
and crash of battle they could not for
set their differences.
Say, now!" growled Eaton Barnes,

he killed the man who fired it, you're

George FL. Hopper, who died the other
day on his Elmwood estate, near Cleve-
land, O., began life as timer, and
made himself immensely rich through a
contract for furnishing tin cans to the
Standard Oil company. About ten
years ago Mr.. Hopper purchased Elm
wood farm, near Cleveland, and started
in TO lead the life of a gentleman farm

him IN this connection. lie decided to
turn it into a stock farm. The first
thing he did was to purchase Bell Boy,
a stallion, for $51 900. Six months later
Bell Boy and the stables were burned.
Mr.. Hopper became disguised with the
idea OF raising stock, and gave it up.
He was seized with the idea at one
time that it was the proper thing for a
gentleman of elegant leisure to own a
yacht. He had one built, and chris
tened it Florence, in honor of his eldest
daughter. When the yacht was COM
pleted it was found to be too big to en-
ter the creek at the farm, and, there be-
ing no natural harbor at the place, it

distant. Hopper hated the yacht from
the day it was built. 1t was launched
without ballast, and as it struck the wa
ter big wave hit it, and it capsized
and went to the bottom, with the crew
on board. The yacht was raised, but
Hopper never again put his foot upon it.
Hopper's whole career as a farmer
was an amusing failure. He owned
beautiful orchard of peach trees, and a
friend one day remarked that he would
come down in the peach season and par
take of some.
do" said Hopper, do" grasping him
by the hand warmly, but let us know
when you are coming, SO we can get
some peaches from Geneva"
Hopper was of a nervous, restless dis
position. and had lived such busy life
that it was agony for him to be idle.
Therefore he employed men to build
stone wall around his park, not that the
wall was at all necessary, but that 1t
gave him something to superintend.-

When we stop to consider this subject
we realize that there is no possibility Of
his having been different in his appear

know that there could not but have been
a something about him which revealed
what lay beneath the external envelope.
