LOYAL TO TWO FLAGS.
Why n Connecticut Daughter Has old
Glory and n Confederate BAN
ner Entvined.

AConnecticutD asghter of the Amer
lean Revolution who recently enter
tanned showed her guests two flags
Old Glory and confederate banner.
says the Chicago Tribune. "I have
been asked" she said, why I have not
returned the confederate flag in &C.
cordance with a sentiment favoring
such things. I viii tell you. I am a
southern woman. Ny husband is a
northern man. There was q union of
ficer in the civil war who was in Mo-
bile after its evacuation by the confed-
crates after Farragut's victory in the
bay. Ny father was an invalid at the
time, and / remained TO nurse him.
The Connecticut officer visited my
fathers house to assure us that we
would not be molested if we desired to
remain. "A confederate flag which I
had made for company of our boys
hung on the wall. The Connecticut Of
fcer CALAMITY informed me that it
must be removed, and / rebelliously in
formed him that it would remain. He
took it in spite of my protest. He did
offer to let me keep it out of sight,
which / refused to do. He carried it
away with him. My father recovered,
and about six years later went to New
York to live, and this Connecticut Of
ficer met him in business. / suppose
you think married him didn't. But
he fell desperately in love with another
southern girl who was my friend, and
when she told me of his proposal told
her of the flag incident, and she made
him return it with an apology, and
then consented to be her bridesmaid.
l married her brother-in-law, and he
had the union flag which his brother
had at Mobile. Do you wonder that 1
am loyal to both and that have them
entwined?''

encouraged foragng. In the march
southwark from Atlanta attachments
of men secured the country on either
side of the line of March, confiscating
everything that could support man or
beast. Strict orders were given as to
the conduct of foragers toward the
people, but they were encouraged 10
carry off all provisions and forage and
to destroy whatever would support the
enemy.
/ "Foraging under the circumstances
became part of the soldiers trade,
and Sherman's men were experts.
iAmong them all no one stood higher
than my friend Joe. He succeeded be-
yond any other man in our regiment,
and he often went Is or % niles from

and wagons loaded with hsur or meat

Ichickens and pigs. He hsA many ad-
ventures and rare escapes, cad became
"a sort of hero in the command. Ger
tsinly he was very proud of his work,
and was complimented for his sue
lcessful raids by the officers.
after the surrender Of Lee and
johnston, when Sherman's army
marched from Raleigh toward Wash
ington, there was a change in the pro-
gramme that Disguised all of the bum
liners and foragers. The order was
that there should be no struggling
from the ranks, no foraging whatever,
Ithat no soldier should even go inside
the gate of a front yard or back yard,
that no soldier should confiscate a
chicken or turkey or shoot hog. It
was explained that as the war had
ended we were no longer in an en-
emy's country, and were to act &C
cordingly. So strict were the rules
that man was not even permitted to
enter yard 30 get drink of water.
There never was probably better
discipline maintained upon any march
than prevailed on that march from
Raleigh to Richmond, and from Rich
mond to Washington. We had every
thing that soldiers needed in the way
OF clothing and supplies, and If we
wanted extras we were compelled to
pay for them. The men who had been

READ THE DEATH WARRANT
Col. Black Afterward Met the Soldier
Who Witnessed CHASTITY
Pantomime.

Speaking of "reminiscences" said
the grizzled veteran at n Memorial
day twilight gathering, 'Tll never for
get the strange coincidence that hap
pened at the Russell house about IS
years ago. Secretary Starkey, of the
water board, who was capital story
teller, was regaling some of his old
comrades with war "reminiscences at
the Russell house." says the Detroit
Free Press.
While in the Mexican war; said
he, L saw a great many strange
things. / remember one when / was
among the boys doing police guard
duty in the City of Mexico. Some
poor devil who had been convicted of
a capital offense was confined in a
strong cell within the walls of the
Montezumas, when one of our lieuten-
ants went to read the death sentence.
I was ordered with him. The cell
was opened at his order, anu the Off
Ger grimly read the fatal finding of
. the court. / have never forgotten the
closing words: "And the sentence of
this court is that you be hung by the
neck until you are dead, dead, deadi"
'The victim of this judicial finding
did not comprehend it and said so in
Spanish.
Tt means that you are 20 be hung
until you are dead-you,' emphatical-
ly explained Lieut.. Black, who had
read the sentence, and he clasped his
hands about the fellows neck to as
sist his understanding. The profanity
and the pantomime were essential,
for they were forms Of language the
Mexican could take in without an in
terpreter. I've often wondered what
became of Black"
During the recital of the story a
tall man of military bearing and
whitening hair became visibly agi-
tated. He seemed to be resisting an
impulse to interrupt the yarn, and at
its close he said:
That's story haven't heard in
20 years, and every word of it's true.
Who'er you, anyhow
"The speaker, who was then Col.
Black, in command at Fort Wayne,
proved to be the lieutenant that had
read the death sentence to the Mex
lean prisoner, while Private Starkey
stood by, more than 20 years ago"

THE ONE WHO STAYS AT HOME

Ear from the sheltering roof,
Where high suns burn, or cold winds blow,
To hold the foe aloot.
But while the many forward run.
And great ships go and come,
re let sometimes think OF one
The one who stays at home.
STOUT hearts have they who gross the seas
And distant pertls face,
Who wish to 'scape from deadeninE ease,
Or scale to higher place.
But valiant, too. Is he whose heart
Like theirs, would breast the foam.
Yet at the old hearth keeps his part
The one who stays al home.
New countries have great fields 20 reap,
Need young and vigorous brain:
But Motherland some sons must keep,
To SOW and bind her grain.
The old folks, too, need some one there
They can no farther roam
OF all the flock there's one to spare
