you lost your captain Calling on him
after he became Governor Of Ohio,
met q man who passed me without q
sign Of recognition. The Governor
said: That was Blank OF your re8i-
ment, one of the best officers In the
service. He has had bad luck and
doesn't want you fellows to know II.
so he comes to me. He will be up again
shortly And he was because Of the
Governors sympathy and encourage
ment. / know of no Ofiicer who fol-
lowed the fortunes Of men who served
under him with more kindly iDterest
and to some his affection was like the
love of brother" Chicago Inter

A Railroad Tale.
''The wreck ON the Valley Road is
regarded as something Of curiosity In
the line Of casualties" said an old engi-
neer to the New Orleans Times-Demo
crat, because the cars left the rai0
on the inside instead of the outside Of
4 curve. As every schOOlboy knows.
the tendency of body moving in cir.
Gle is to fly away from the center. BY
the operation of centrifugal attraction
The consequence is that train Of cars
going around a curve at good gait will
be certain to hug the outside rail, and IL
it happens to jump the track one would
naturally infer that it would be on the
side where the pressure is greatest. For
some reason or other, however, the
train OH the Valley Road reversed the
accepted order of things and took n
header in the opposite direction, an Of
which reminds me Of a singular bit Of
history.
1T may surprise some ofycu younger
gentlemen when say that an incident
based on the principle have Just de-
scribed played star role in what was
possibly the most dramatic passage Of
the entire Civil War I refer to the
pursuit of Andrews raiders when they
made their desperate dash thFoush
North Georgia to destroy railroad con-
munication with Chattanooga.
The raiders, as you know, ses1s .
freight train at Marietta, Ga. and START
ed nOrthward at top speed. They were
pursued almost Immediately by . d.
tachment Of our boys on locomotive.
and then ensued the most thrilling rum
