The Young Second Lieutennnt's Meet
Ing With the Old Trooper.


Ing With the Old Trooper.
A young second lieutenant. who had
been graduated from the first class
couple of months before the regular
graduation ut West Point, had just join
ed his regiment in Cuba and was walk
ing down the street near the palace, in
Havana. He stopped on the corner, and
as he did so an old grizzled soldier with
a growth of beard on his face and with
cavalry sergeant's stripe on his
breeches a blue shirt and campaign
hat, but with no other mark Of rank
about his uniform except his sergeant's
stripe, walked slowly down and stopped
in front of the lieutenant, looking
around at the different buildings. The
young officer fidgeted few moments
under the manner in which the trooper
ignored his proximity, and finally turn
ed on him and said sharply, Here,
you man. did any one ever teach you
how to salute?'
eyes, sir, drawled the trooper, as
he glanced at the youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together"
said the young officer, and the trooper
came to attention with the precision of
an old soldier.
"Now salute, he said, and the troop
ers gauntlet came to the rim of his hat
and staid there until the young lieuten-
ant answered it, at the same time de-
handing: "Now, remember this, and
don t let it happen again. What is your
name, and what do you belong TOT"
Without relaxing his position from
attention, the old trooper again respect
fully saluted and remarked dryly: "My
name is Samuel Sumner, and I'm brig
adler general of the cavalry brigade"
whereupon the young lieutenant pro-
ceeded to copy as many colors of the
rainbow with his face as was possible
and slipped away as soon as he dared.

A Watermelon Contest.

The Lincoln GA Journal says:
"The Journal offers, as usual, one
years subscription to the person bring
ing it the largest watermelon. We hope
a number of our farmers will enter the
race this year, as it is no fun unless
there is some competition. Colonel
Crawford, who has heretofore held an
undisputed field, has run out of his fine
seed and it is probable that hia raisings
will not be as large as formerly. This
gives everybody an equal showing. So

Lud1o,r,s Victory Over shnfter.

LudIOw's Victory Over Shnfter.
General William Ludlow, who lie
achieving high fame as the first Ameri-
can governor of Havana. owes his pres
ent command to personal victory he
gained over General Shafter in the first
days of the Santiago campaign.
He had long ago attained fine rec
ord as typographical engineer, and
was one of the first regular army officers
to seek service in Cuba. With scarce
ly dried commission of brigadier general
of volunteers in his pocket he FASTENED
to General Shafter.
Seeing that General Shafter already
had competent engineer on his staff.
General Ludlow applied for command
of brigade on the fighting line, and
mentioned the First brigade of the Sec
ond division. General Shafter looked up
in surprise and exclaimed: 81 thought
you were an engineer
$50 l am, replied General Ludlow,
"also an artillerist, or cavalry officer,
or an infantry officer, at the will of my
superiors, like every trained soldier. "
General Shafter began parleying. and
General Ludlow, in the mildest manner
possible, insisted, morning after morn
ing, until he received it After the ter

WAS HIS FRIEND.
Cuban's Reason For Suggesting the
Amputntlon of II Hand.


According to Inspector General
Breckenridge, who recently returned
from Cuba and Porto Rico, the sense of
moral responsibility of the average Gu
ban is extremely limited. This was
strongly impressed upon him one day at
a military station near Santiago. A
gang of bandits had been rounded up
by the troops and with them a dozen
horses stolen from a plantation in the
vicinity The general took look at
the prisoners and noticed among them
a man who appeared to belong to bet
ter class than his companions. He was
called forward and through an inter-
prefer tie general questioned him.
How did you get mixed up in this"
asked the inspector general.
81 had nothing to do with the
affair." was the reply. 81 am the
schoolteacher in the district where
these men live, and give them advice
l give every one advice who comes for
it,"
"But," suggested the officer who &C.
companied General Breckenridge, chat
fellow told the robbers to cut off the
hand of the owner of the horses. -
"Ask him why he made such malig-
nant suggestion" said the general to
the interpreter.
The question was put, and the school
teacher shrugged his shoulders. "The
'cacique' does not understand" he
said. cit was I who saved the proprie-
tors life. These men came to me with
him and said: He will not pay us what
we demand. Shall we kill himT Then,
as they asked me for advice, l said;
No, do not kill him. Cut off one hand;
he will pay you then They did as I
advised, the money was paid, and l had
saved the mans life. There is surely
nothing malignant about that l am

Glorious Eternity.

Some years ago l was sailing down
the ST. John river, which is the Rhine
and the Hudson commingled in ons
scene OF beauty and grandeur, and while
was on the deck of the steamer a gen
tleman pointed out to me the places OF
interest, and he said: All this is inter
val land, and it is the richest land in
all the provinces of New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. what said /, "do
you mean by interval land? " 'Well,
be said, "tbis land is submerged for
part of the year; spring freshets come
down, and all these plains are over
flowed with the water, and the water
leaves rich deposit, and when the wa
tiers are gone the harvest springs up,
and there is a richer harvest than l
know of elsewhere - And Instantly
thought, at is not the heights of the
church. and it is not the heights Of this
world that are the scene of the greatest
prosperity, but the soul over which the
floods of sorrow have gone, the soul
over which the freshets of tribulation
have torn their way, that yields the
greatest fruits of righteousness and the
largest harvest for time and the richest
! harvest for eternity" Bless God that
your soul is interval land
