1--WE heartily agreed to the arrange
mem, and sat at the table a long time,
eating and drinking, talking and
laughing, as If we were all the best Of
friends. When we had satisfied our
.voracious appetites the two parties
fled out Of the dining-room In the
same manner that they entered. Our
party were sitting on the front porch
discussing the situation and the best
way out of it. when the confederate
captain put his head out at the door
and politely asked it he and his men
might have their guns back again.
Upon receiving their promise not to
attempt to take us prisoners, we let
them have their weapons, whereupon
they took their departure at once.

in regard to the probability OF the
rebels attacking us as we marched
back. to our army, when the same
bright young woman who had proven
herself so true q friend to our cause
came out on the porch and told us
that she had overheard one of the
confederates telling her. father that
they proposed to lay for us on the
road. She pointed out to us round
about way by which we could reach
the main road on which our army
was travelling, and, following her di'
rections, we caught up with the army
about ten o'clock that night"

The Nickel Plate Road.

Dining Car service on American Railroads
has undergone a number Of changes in the
method Of serving meals in dining cars. Many
leading roads are now serving from cards
a-la-carte, whilst on the other great trunk
lines the popular American plan of en-
joying anything on the bill Of fare and
the
come to the front, by which guests may
choose from dozen or more bills of fare,
neatly arranged in booklet form, ranging in
price from IS cents to $l.00. This latter
plan is adopted by the Nickel Plate Road on
it's through express trains between Chicago,
New York City and Boston, except on the
dining cars Of that line, q choice may be
made from various club menus, or Sc
lection may be made from them all, at
the price Of the higher. In fact, it is claimed
for the Nickel Plate Road that its passenger
train service is equal to the best, and that
elusive advantage to- patrons of the Nickel
Plate Road. ~ e. +. rI e @: h I=.s,s IS ss

that particular day. Fall in here, you
fellows he called out. No strags

~ replied: I'll be responsible for
these men, captain, and bring them
in all right. They are not able to
travel now.' =
"The captain acquiesced in the ar
rangement, and we were left to our
own devices. As soon as the army had
disappeared in the distance we struck
out away from the road toward the
interior, in search of something with
which to appease our hunger. The
houses along the road had empty cup
boards, fact which we we'll knew.
After we had covered about three
miles we came to the brow of hill
which overlooked a beautiful valley.
AS we glanced down into the valley
we noted that it looked rich and fer
tile, and accordingly we lost no time
in making the descent. We could see
a white residence good distance
away, also grist mill near by and a
long mill race leading to it. A creek
wound its way tortuously down the
valley, and soon became obscured by
the dense foliage along its banks. 1t
was indeed a landscape fit. for the
brush of 3 great artist. We were not,
however, in the art business, but in
the more prosaic and enjoyable occu-
patton OF trying to get hold of some
grub In short time we were at
the residence of the proprietor of the
mill, whose name = we afterward
learned was Russell We were agree
ably surprised to observe seated on
the large front porch an attractive
and benevolent-looking young woman
of about 16. l., $500. ~
"As we drew near she rose up and
came to meet u.s. saying in a low tone

NEVER LEARNED TO OBEY.
Ge.<r.l Mccle rnand'. Confidence In
8 Himself Rebuked by !:
. ~ 49,, REGULAR: H. .-,=#E ]:

Even among the late Gen. John Alex
ander McClernand's best friends it
was generally conceded that he hardly
knew the meaning of subordination.
That he was dashing, brave, energetic
and planner and organizer of no
mean ability all agree, but that he
could. bring himself at any time or
in any matter to admit that unques-
tioning, unfaltering obedience to SUI
perior was q soldiers first duty ell
deny. A man, seeing practically his
first military service as a brigadier
general may be excused perhaps for
not knowing well the first lesson which
some burly corporal knocks into the
head of the recruit before he has fair
" shed his civilian suit: When the
general was relieved Of his command
in front of Vicksburg one of his subor-
dinates, colonel in the old Thirteenth
corps, said this: If the old man in
his youth had been given six weeks
of squad drill under swearing SER
geant of regulars, and afterward had
served two years as second heuten-
ant under some cussing colonel, he
would have been in command to-day
of an independent armys'' /
It is a curious fact that thorough
search of the libraries finds no BIZ
ographical sketch and no magazine
article in which an attempt is made
to Justify the order which Gen. Nc
Clernand issued to the Thirteenth
corps and which made the patient and
magnanimous Grant relieve him of his
command. The story is told that
about this time an old officer of regu-
lars, who liked McClernand PERSONAL
ly immensely, but who utterly ,disa-
greed with him on questions of mill
tary usage, said to him one day:
General, if you were going to build
a house what sort of a man would you
go to to get your plans?" >,z..,.
ITO an architect" answered the gem
eral quickly and perhaps unit hinkingly.
"WeN, then" was the rejoinder, why
not get soldier to plan campaigns and
fight battles?' x-... 4 .....@.$ ssS
It may have been in after years Gen.
McClernand thought on this pertinent
conversation, for, strangely enough,
almost one of his first acts after leas-
ing the army was to secure the appoint
ment of his son to West Point, the
place where man is taught absolute
subordination to his superiors in rank
if it takes steel ramrod and dose
of the guardhouse to do it: 1E,

TO LOOK AFTER THE DOGS.

There will be new job for the town

for the appointment by the township
board in every township of a dog
warden, which appointment is to be
made at the annual meeting of the
township board, which will be held
Tuesday, April 3rd, and the term of
Office expires on the first day OF May
OF the year following. BY this act the
dog warden is given the entire control
OF the collection of the dog tax, and
receives for his services % per cent Of
the tax collected and 81 for every dog
killed by him upon which the tax has
not been paid. The tax Is due and
payable on May 1st and on payment
the warden gives to each person metal
label showing the number aud year,
and any dog not wearing the label is to
be killed by the dog warden. The tax
derived is kept by the township treas
urer In separate fund, from which the
damages sustained by owners OF sheep
are TO be paid on being allowed by the
township board.
Under this law the fees OF the dog
warden depend on the number OF dogs
taxed. Applications for this position
