BLEDSOE'S BATTERY.

81 was a member of Capt. Hiram
| Bledsoe's famous Missouri battery"
! said man who is living in New York.
His recent death removes the last
prominent figure in the Confederate
ranks from Missouri Except In the
presence of his superior officers he pre-
ferred to have his men call him Hi. He
went into the war right at the begin
ming. The men who first enlisted under
him were his neighbors and acquaint-
ances in Cass county, where he had
lived since the Mexican war.
There were five brothers in his first
command. When they presented them
elves for enlistment Hi asked them IL
they had not better divide, and added
that he did not want To have the entire
family But the boys insisted. and IL is
singular fact that they, with their
commander. fought through the war.
So far as | can now recall no member
OF the Bledsoe battery was ever repri-
manded. 1t was a model organization.
Its discipline was army talk. And when
Bledsoe met Gen. Beuregard for the
first time Beuregard complimented him
on the reputation of his command. and
asked him the secret Of it Bledsoe's
reply was that his command was com
posed OF gentlemen. and that ne treated
them accordingly at all times. When
this superb organization was decimated
and ii was proposed TO recruit IL with
conscripts Bledsoe refused. He said the
men who fought under him must be

ANTIQUE OAK THAT IS OLD.

White oak logs that have been bur

years have just been put TO use. Prof.

helped to unearth the remnants OF some
OF these prehistoric trees. has just

wonderful polish and color OF which the
genuine antique oak il capable. No
precious woods that have ever been
Imported into Chicago are so marvel
ously beautiful as these specimens with
which Prof. Guthrie has just been pre-
sented.
Most Of these prehistoric logs have
been resurrected from the .000-year- o. u

walnut. willow, beach and most of the
modern native woods nave been dug up
under these glacial deposits and allu-
vium or seventy centuries, but the
white oak. the same tree evidently that
nourlshes in the parks Today, has been
preserved best of all.
Some frightful cyclone appears to
have bent and laid low the trees at
first. The iron fibre Is bent and twisted
in nearly all of them at one particular
spot in the trunk. and IL is evident that
this was the cause that first buried the
giant forests under the sands and alu-
vlum. Some OF these trunks have been
followed by Prof. Guthrie in the exca-
vations for streets and houses for many
feet. one trunk, in Sheffield avenue,
was unearthed for seventy feet.
Evidently this forest was the first
growth after the glacial period IL Hes
close To the glacial clay, under the allu-
wal drlft, at a general depth of four
teen feet. The cyclone apparently laid
the forest low, and the sand and drift
were blown up from the lake and COW
cred 1t. The water formed an air tight
capsule about the trunk, and kept il
from decaying.
OF late years. however, the surface
sewers have drained the water away
from the trunks and the bark and out
er layers OF wood have gone to decay
The iron fibre of the inner wood Is still
intact In most of them, however. The
wood from which Prof. Guthrie's Sou
Venirs are made was dug up near the
corner of Calumet avenue and Thirty
ninth street where many of the trunks
are being chopped away in sewer exca-
waiting.
No imitation antique wood has ever
attained the singular beauty OF this
old oak. 1t is dark. almost a greenish
black. the result OF hundreds OF years
discoloration by the surrounding water.
The polish which 1t mas attained is un-
like anything ever seen by wood Inn
porters. The fibre OF the wood was
found almost as tough as fine wire in
working ii up.
The usual process OF "antiquing" is
TO steam and rub the dark color into
the wood with bayberry wax. the lat
ter imparting the greensh tint. This
tint i'm Prof. .Guthre's specimens has
never been attained in the imitation
antique, however.-Chicago Inter

So DR.. Taylor won't come to Brown.
That is certainly too bad for DIR. Tay-
Tor according to all accounts is just
the sort of a man that Brown needs. Is
seems as though the presidency Of our
university is going a-begging but that
does not necessarily signify. There are
probably too few good men. TO go
around and Brown happens to be one
OF the Institutions that is particularly
suffering from the keen competition
just now. on the other hand il is not
improbable that there are educators in
rank lower than that of the president
Of vassar who have the making OF a
first class college president in them.
With all respect TO the men OF present
eminence in the college world. there
are undoubtedly just as good fish in
the sea as ever were caught. Or. An
drews was only a minor college pro-
fessor when he was called to the presi-
dency OF Brown and DR.. Taylor himself
was only the pastor of a modest church
when the yassar folks discovered him.
II is no disrespect to the splendid abil-
tiles of dozens OF college presidents to
believe that somewhere among the coll
lege professors who are at present
blushing unseen may be found their
equal if the opportunity is given. Why
shouldn't Brown quit the competition
which threatens to be so Improbable
and go on tour of discovery among
the nascent presidents some OF whom,
in all probability. may be found oc-
cupying chairs OF no especial slgnifl-
canoe in almost every college i'm the
land-perhaps even at home. right on
Browns own roster. The demand for
ready made talent is always greater
than the supply.Bu with a reasonable
care in selection there is always possi-
bic the development OF all the talent
that any college could ask for. Wen
be bound there are a-plenty OF indus
frious and ambitious Baptists profess
sors in the land who would develop in
to fine presidents for the best Of col
leges.

Don't miss the new Catherine" For

how skilfully and how legitimately

Catherine" as the meek but courage
Gus support OF her family teaching
however. instead of music the art Of
manipulating the sewing machine.
When we are introduced To the family,
we learn that they are all very happy,
for the landlord has just raised the
rent. When Catherine receives the
news she says simply: I'm glad the
landlord has raised the rent. we never
could" Then she turns TO her father,
who is putting on his silk hat. and re-
marks: Yes, father. go out and take n
walk. and perhaps you'll get run over
by a cable-car." AS the old man leaves,
he says: 'I'll try To bring home some
thing for the children-the grip or
something" The Duke de Coocoo pre-
sently appears looking for matrimo-
nial sinecure." He has taken sewing
machine lessons from Catherine and he
is convinced that she could support him

has a strong claim on her affections.
So, with the consent of his mother,
