One of the fercest and most determined
fighters in the civil war was General n.
B. Forrest. commanding the confederate
cavalry. His name was a redOubtable one
and few of his opponents were aWane Of
a humorous side of his disposition tamll-
lar TO his friends. For many years the
general loved TO tell the story OF an IN
ciGent which occurred near COWdn STA
The few troopers he had with him were
being holly pursued by the tedeEals, and
the general was gailoping along at top
speed. A fiery southern dame happened
to be standing by the roadside, and when
she saw the flying confederate ofilcer ner
indignation boiled over Shaking her IsJ
lin scorr, she screamed:
'eVhv don't YOU turn and fight. you
cOwardly rascal? If old Forrest were here
he'd make you fightr'
Fortunately, the genefats morse soon
carried MIN out Of range.
Forests bfOgrapher relates that once
at a. dinner party, where he had been in
Vited as the guest of honor. there was q
loquacious widow, with nalr or raven
black who rudely interrupted the cOilNer
sation by asking General Forrest why Il
was that his beard was still black, while
his hair was turning gray.
With great pohtenesS HorresL turned
toward her.
Il fear I cannot give you a satisfactory
answer" said he unless. possibly, the
reason is that nave used my brain a
little more than I have my jaw
In the midst of one Of his campaigns a
captured federal chaplain was brought to
his HEADQUARTERS. The man showed the
deepest anxiety and depression, for stories
OF General Forests severity were rife IN
the Union camp A little later supper
was announced, and Forrest. TO the chap
Iain'z surprise invited him to share it:
but his surprise grew to amazement when
the general turned to him reverentially
and said
eParson. will you please ask the bless
ing?"
The next morning Forrest cOurteOusly
gave him an escort through the cOnfed-
crate lines for he wished no ncn-cOm-
batants for prisoners, and babe him good
