touched upon. AS we went charging
dence of an old fellow who was very
proud of his white house and his picket
fence that covered the front of the regi-
ment.
"As we swept forward the old gentle
man came out on his porch, and, throw
ing up his hands, shouted Don't spoil
my fence!' The answer was that as the
line struck it the fence went down its
full length, with crash, and the boys
swept on, except one sergeant, who
stumbled over scared turkey, and who
caught it up hastily, threw it under the
fallen fence, and rushed on with his
command. After the engagement and
after the confederates had scurried
away, the sergeant came back to where
he had left the turkey, lifted the fence,
took possession of it, and marched off.
"The confederate cavalrymen were
just ready to eat breakfast when we
opened on them with furious fire.
They left their breakfast spread out
on fence rails, on logs, and on the
ground, and after we had driven them
off our men sat down and ate the break
fast themselves, the sergeant who had
gone back for his turkey losing his
share. / remember more about that
turkey, and that breakfast than / do
about the destruction of the bridge, al
though the work there was done most
ffectively.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

the love of adventure and the cupidity
of the rebel sympathizers in Kentucky,
and his command was nearly doubled
by eager recruits from the blue grass
country.
The fun began as soon as the Ohio
was crossed, but for a time it was all
on the side of the raiders. They
whipped few small bodies of "home
guards" without much trouble, plum
dered farms, levied a tax on stores
and swapped their jaded horses for
the best in the farmers stables. OF
course they cut the telegraph wires
and ripped up railroad ties; and, as
Morgan had telegraph operator with
him, he took advantage of various
occasions to send misleading messages
about his movements.
But meantime the pursuit was hot
foot after him. All Ohio was aroused,
and Morgan's bold riders began to feel
the wear and tear of hard rides and
no sleep. They headed for the Ohio
river, Gen. Shackleford in their rear.
Imagine the feelings of those hunted
men when they found union force on
the other side of the ford and waspy
gunboats in the river.
The final capitulation of Morgan, his
imprisonment and escape are well
known. The next year found him in
eastern Tennessee. The strange mix
ture of confederate and union families
in this region had tacitly established
a sort Of modus vivendi, but guerrillas
on both sides popped at each other oc-
casionally. Morgan, with a small band,
was in Greeneville, and on the night
of September he stopped at the Will
liams house, large mansion, colonial
in style and beautifully situated on
a hill. Here he was located by ma
tional troops under Gen. Gillem; the
house was surrounded, and Morgan,
rushing from the front door in bold
attempt to escape, was shot down.
Greeneville has grown since then un-
til the old mansion is quite in the
heart of the town; street has been
cut through back of it and a portico
on the street front transforms the for
mer back of the civilians mansion"
of war times into the front of the
Morgan inn" of to-day.-Philadelphia

An extraordinary case of theft is re-
ported from The Hague, the victim be-
ing no less parsonage than Queen Will
helmina herself. The culprit appears
to be the person to whom the safe Gus
tody of the young queens valuables
was intrusted. The stolen articles con-

Their disappearance was the cause of

he had bought them from the official in
question, who has now absconded.

Two or three times her fears were I'M

the headpiece be removed.
The woman flushed and hesitated.
At last she was apparently seized with
a desperate resolve to do or die.
The elaborate headgear was removed
and one by one, as quickly as her fin
gers could fly, the curl papers, which
stood out prominently against her dark

There were several suppressed snick-

proper Treatment OF servants.

Never treat tire servant as a servant.
Treat her rather as guest.
For example, when she comes, cause
to be inserted among the personals in
the newspapers something like this:
'MIiss Birdie Mulligan is spending a
few days with Mr.. and Mrs. Merton
Jones, at the Nettles."
A guest, you know, is far less likely
to go away than servant, and when
she goes you don't feel nearly so badly
about it.-Detroit Journal,
