StOnewall jackson as a Poet

Doubtless it will surprise many to
learn, says the Richmond (Va) Exam
liner, that the unobtrusive and hardy
warrior, Stonewall Jackson, was a poet
of no little ability, and that among the
busy scenes and arduous duties of the
camp he found leisure to crafty his

The following lines were written while
Jackson was an artillery officer in Mex
leo, during the war between the United
States and that country:

Last week, at Port Gibson, Mr.. M. d.
Landau, young lawyer of Vicksburg,
attempted to climb over the coupling
between two cars of a freight train
blocking the track, when the engine
started and he fell beneath the cars.
Fortunately, he fell lengthwise of the
track and the train passing over him
left him unhurt.
In Jackson last Thursday when
Constable Lee Hendricks and Police

PLANT OF A MILLIONAIRE.
Not Much Fun In Life for n Man WHO
Has Acquired Enormous
Wealth.

"What is the smallest income on
which a man may live in New York?
was the question | asked of a noted
banker whose income cannot be less
than 100000 year. Well he re
piled, my household expenses alone
amount o $4,000 year, and | 10 not
see how l possibly could live on less
than that Then, says the Phiadel-
phia Ledger, a reminiscent smile began
TO cross his eounttuaEce, ana. heaviug
a little sigh, he said: But the hap
riest time Of my life was when my wife
and l and two children lived here on
1880 year. After all, happiness
doesn't depend on the amount Of
mans income.
4 was quite intimate with William
II. Vanderbilt when he was considered
the richest man in the country. I met
MIN one day in Fifth avenue and said
to him that he ought to be the hap
piest man in the world. q am not, the
great millionaire replied. My health
is shattered and all the money possess
cannot restore it. l cannot even drive
one Of my fine horses. 1t is painful for
me to sit down. Ny only possible ex-
/ ercise is for me to walk down the ave-
nue.. l receive threatening letters
/ daily, and my nerves are SO unstrung
/ that / am constantly afraid that some
! assassin will waylay me- | am over
run with people who want to get my
money. ! am the most wretched man
in New York, and l tell you that after
a person has accumulated enough to
secure him against poverty and crafty
his reasonable wants every dollar in
addition is burden and weighs him
| down."

"I see," said the old man Pimpernel the
other evening, relates the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, that they've mended another brok-
en- neck for a Teller. He had fall some
where's out in the country, an when they
got him to tn hospital TIL doctors found
that his upper spinal colume was cracked
clean across. Teller couldn't hold his head
up, an his voice was clean gone"
How did they patch him up?' inquired
John Bowman.

piled the old man. at was so dead easy.
Fust, they crowded over tn left phalanx till
it Tapped the right vertrickle, an then they
stuck tn two ends together with anty-toxum
glue. That's fer blood pisenin', you know
Then they got the broken ends of the me-
dulla together an fastened 'em in place with
strips of adhesin' plaster. After that they
nailed narrow rods of zinc up and down his
backbone and clinched 'em together with
rivits. When this was all fixed the surgeon
sent out an got an old-fashioned bootjack,
an they tied it on his chest so that the open
in at the top would just catch under his

AcrObatic.

After supper he procured his wife's best
clothesline from the back shed, fastened one
end of it to his St. Demands collar and the
other to the handle bar of his bicycle. Then
he went out into the middle of the road and
mounted; For about four rods, that is until
the st. Bernard espied canine friend, the
sensation was dreamike, after that it be-
came one horrible nightmare. In despera-
ton the rider clutched handle bars, back
pedaled and fairly howled, until at last he
became sufficiently cool to call to the dog
to stop. 1t stopped all right, but the wheel
had motions of its own. 1t went on till it
struck the dog amidships, then it rose in the
air, sending its rider toward cloudland.
His head tried conclusions with the curb,
and when they brought him to he promised
his wife never to do it again.-Detroit Free
