'It didn't turn out as Jones figured"
said the talkative man, with a grin. "He
invited me to pay him a visit at his sum-
mer home in the country, andI accepted
without any idea of what he had in

with a good many misgivings concerning
the outcome. Had I known at the time

marks on the subject for his benefit.

HIS BIGGEST FIGHT.
The Veteran Called 1t the Battle of
the COnscript.

The Veteran Called 1t the Battle of
the COnscript.
At a gathering of Confederate veterans
was q man who was known to have been
a gallant soldier and who had an unmis-
taxable bullet scar on the left side of his
forehead
'In what battle did you get that
wound?"
"The biggest fight I was ever in"
''What fight was it?'
Il call it the battle Of the conscript"
Battle of the conscript? What do you
mean?'
''Wen. it was toward the end Of the
war, after the conscript act had been
passed, and I was one of detail to get
a certain man in Tennessee who had been
eonscripted, but who had escaped. We
located him at his home, and we pro-
ceeded to advance on the house
AS luck would have it, / was ahead
and was the first man to enter the house
My man was lying in bed, and / walked
toward him and told him to get up.
HE did so. but as he arose he came
up with a revolver. We clinched and OF
all the fights I was ever in this beat all.
We tussled and we tussled I found
the conscript was the better man, and
my only hope was either in holding on or
some of our boys coming.
Il kept on wrestling, my chief aim be-
ing to hold down that hand with the re-
volver. The affair was getting monoto-
nous to me and I was about to quit be-
cause the eonscript had me beat, when
some Of the boys rushed in, but not be-
fore the conscript wrenched his revolver
arm loose and let me have it, and l was
hOored
''The bullet struck me glancingly on the
side of the head and after burrowing IN
der the skin for a couple Of inches pass
ed out without injuring the skull"
What became of the conscript?'
Would you believe that that fellow
escaped from camp that night? And the
Confederacy lost, in my judgment, a good
scrapper." Louisville Courier-J ournaI.

Two Alarms We're Sounded And
Blaze Checked.
Owned By
Granville E. Jordan.
Electric Wire Probable Cause
Of the Fire.

There was big fire in the wood yard
of Granville e. Jordan, situated at 1881
Paris street, last evening. 1t caught q
few minutes past eleven o'clock In the
rear of the Office building about the cleo
trio sdynamos. and was probably caused
by the crossing of electric wires. The
lot is at the foot of the easterly side OF the
the street and before the flames had
got in their disastrous work, consist
ed of the Office building, store, shed
and stable. There were also a number
Of cords of wood In the sheds and out
in the lot not under cover, and as no rain
has visited this part of the country
for some time, everything about the
place was as dry as finder and made a
splendid fuel for the blazes. The ire had
made a big Roadway by the time that
the department. reached the scenes so
that within a few minutes after the
sounding of the first alarm and the sec
ond was rung in. BY some skiIfuI work
the department. prevented the fire from
spreading to any OF the adjoining houses.
The house numbered 70 and occupied
by David Gibson, was damaged to
slight extent, few panes OF glass be-
ing broken and bits of the ceiling nooked
down. Mrs. Gibson was so badly
frightened that she tainted. She soon
revived, however. Close up to the lot
and upon Hanover street, is the lot of
the city hay scales. Six or seven loads
OF hay had been left in the place when
elOsed Yesterday affarnOOn And vet so
we'll did the hremen play their lines OF
hose that not a spear OF this hay was
damaged.
The buildings were about wholly
ruined, being either burned down or
pulled apart by the numerous hooks and
axes Of the department.. In the stable
were two horses. Both were saved by
two young men, Charles Staples and
John +. Wait, who broke open the doors,
rushed in and took the animals out
and over to the stables of the Cumber-
land house, Forest avenue. The horses
did not take kindly to being removed,
but the young men pluokily kept at their
work and succeeded. The horses were
nearly wild with excitement.
Besides the buildings the dynamo and
t he wood, four or five wagons and har-
nesses were burned. Mr.. Jordan lives
at Cape Elizabeth and did not come
into the city last night. It is estimated
that the loss VIII be about 81, 900.
The fire doomed up in grand style and
Paris street was lined with crowd Of
sightseers.

The Old Negro Declared HIS Author
ity on the BattIedeId.
"There were four of us boys" Major
Pelham said, "and we left home together
to save the Confederacy. Our mother
had the proper things, as she thought,
packed for us. and also sent along a
faithful old negro, who had been promi-
nent in our bringing up, to take care of
us IN the army and wait on us. The
last words she said to him at the lawn
gate were:
=" Now, take good care of my boys,
Tom,' and Tom was as certain that he
would be successful in carrying out her
repeated injunctions as he ever had been
IN former years that he would bring us
home safe from a possum hunt
Don yo' neyah be Uneasy bout dat,
Mis- Sue. I gwinter bring desc heah
youngsters back safe Ell SCUM, en- dey
gWineter have de best dey is in de lam
Much sooner than we expected we got
into battle, and it was a decidedly sharp
affair."
After the brush was over, up came old
Tom, ashy, but determined His clothing
was torn and he was loaded down with
our belongings. Nearly breathless with
fright, fatigue and indignation, he ex-
claimed:
" LOCKER heah, Marse Peter, I want

Il told the old man he was foolish;
that we couldn't go home. We had come
out to fight, and must stay. But all my
explanation and remonstrance were lost
on him. He persisted that he would
bundle US out of that, anyhow.

his HORSE GOULD COUNT.
He Understood the Meaning of the
Fire Alarm Strokes.

"If there is any animal that knows
more than a horse" remarked a member
of the fire department the other day, I'D
like to see it. l mean one that knows
more than smart horse for there are
fool horses as well as fool people and
once in awhile we get one of these fool
horses in the fire department. But I
will say that our horses, as a rule, are
pretty smart and knowing.
Il remember one we had in this COM
pany some years ago that actually could
count. George was his name, if I re-
member rightly, and George was one Of
those horses that never did any more
work than he was obliged to- Not that
he couldn't, but just because, like some
people you run across, he was opposed to
looking for work. Well, every company
in the fire department has a certain dis
trict to cover on first alarms-that is,
every company responds to certain boxes
on the first alarm and doesn't go to 9TH
ers except on special or seneral alarms.
"Wen, sir, we didn't have George
many months before that horse came to
know our district just as well as any Of
the men. He knew the boxes we went
out to on the first alarm, and it is a fact
that that horse got so that he'd wait and
count the first round before he'd bulge
out Of his STALL II the box was not in
our district, George would walk leisurely
to his place, but if it was one we were
due at on the first alarm he would rush
down to his place.
'In those days we had to hitch up on
every alarm that came in, whether it was
in our district or not, and stand hitched
for IS or 20 minutes. George knew this,
of course, and that was why he'd always
take his time going to his place when the
box wasn't in our district And it's a
fact that if he was eating when an out
side box came In, he'd just keep on eating
until the foreman yelled out to bring him
down to his place.
"Of course, now and then George
would miscount the box, and rush to his
place on a box not in our district. But
when he did make a mistake like that,
which was precious seldom, that horse
would get SO mad and feel so bad about
1t that he wouldn't get over it for a day
or SO. Washington Star.

The so called crabs eyes of our old
dispensatories were really small stones,
composed chiefly OF lime, found in the
ventricles of the brain or, as some say, in
the stomach of the crawfsh (Astacus
huyiatilis). Along with crabs claws, the
powdered black tips Of the claws of the
sea crab, they entered into the compost
ton of the once famous nostrum known
as "Gascoigne's powder (pulvis ex
chelis cancror1m compositus). The COM
pound powder Of arum root Of the Lon
don and Edinburgh dispensatories of the
eighteenth century also contained pow
dered crabs eyes. The name is still in
use in druggists shops, but / understand
that prepared chalk is now generally sub
stituted for the original crabs eyes. Its
properties are much the same, crabs
eyes having been used chiefly as an
antacid.-Notes and Queries,
