A1PROFANE INTERRUPTION.

It is related of a well-known Mil
waukee preacher that on one occasion
he was delivering sermon in Madi-
son, Wis. It was a fine summer day
and the windows were open. In an
adjoini ing vacant lot a number Of boys
were playing a game of base ball.
The sermon was on heaven and the
means of reaching( there. The preach
er had just come tp the end of pas
sage. :.....
.'How, then, shall we reach hea-
ven?'' he asked, AMI paused in a SOL
emn manner. .... :
Just then came fating through the
church window in a high-keyed voice:
"slide like the dew /; 'slide!'
It was one Of the by base ball play

ded despite the fact that many were
kept away by the extremely hot wealth
err. Those who did attend were we'll
satisfied with the exciting game they
Witnessed. Highland established n
good lead early in the game, after
which the Linden twirler settled down
and was very effective. Linden grad
ually crept up until when Highland
came to bat In the ninth inning, the
score stood II s In favor Of Linden
The first two outs were easy, after
which high in-ticld fly was muffed
by Linden's shortstop, thus putting Il
Highland man on first. by success
sion of well directed hits, Highland
then made four runs, winning the
game by score of II IL. The purse
was 800. The receipts went to the
Fair association, who were contented
with the showing made. Many at

"When you come to think about IL,
stray bullets are mean things"
said the old soldier who had fought
under Mosby. AS no one in the little
group of his comrades at the confed-
crate home had had any very recent
thoughts on the subject of stray bull
let's, he was asked wherefore of his
observation on the extreme mean
ness of this particular kind of bullets,
relates the Louisville Courier-Journal.
"Well, | was just thinking of little
incident in one of our fights, that's
ALL" was the reply. Maybe it won't
strike you as much of an incident, but
somehow or other it's the little things
we remember, after all
"You know, Mosby's men kinder

there wasn't anything else to do. AS

truism that has come down through a
long line of French cynics; but Lord
Ripon, ex-viceroy of India, had occa,

was appreciated by faithful retainer
Soon after his return from Calcutta
and when the criticisms of his admin

Ripon was met by a member of the
liberal party, who said to him, enthus'
iastically: II congratulate you on
your courage and public spirit in pur'

him from fighting like the mischief.
"As we didn't have the chance to
pick our battlefields, 1t fell out more
than once that fellow found him
self trying to kill Yankees in his own
front yard. One morning near the
close of the war we flushed a company
of northern cavalry about a mile from
Jack Walters house and ran them
lickety-split across country. There
amt many companies of any kind that
won't run when you surprise 'em and
then light into them. Well, sir, we
kept drivin' after 'em, now and then
tumblin' one out of his saddle. AS it
turned out, those fellows jumped the
fences of Jacks yard and made for the
big gate on the far side. We came
along right behind 'em, Jack in the
front, first, because he liked to be
there, and, second, because he knew
his mother and sweetheart would be
out on the front porch watching Jack.
Those union fellows hadn't fired shot
for over half mile, and we thought 1t
was just a question as to how many
we'd have to kill before we captured
the outfit.
"But just as they reached the gate
and Jack jumped his horse over the
fence, and, hat in one hand and pisto oil
in the other, dashed by to show off be-
fore his mother and his sweetheart,
the last Yank turned suddenly and
fired without aiming at anything in
particular. Well, sir, you wouldn't be-
lieve it. but the ball caught the boy
square in the forehead, and he pitched d
over his horses head and landed in a
bunch right at the foot of the steps.
THE fellow that fired never stopped
to see whether he had hit anything or
not, but rode on harder than before.
He didn't go much further, though, for
we caught him in a quarter of a mile"
"What happened to him?" put in an
old infantryman under Jackson.
Enough to put him in one of the
national cemeteries" was the reply.
81 guess the other fellows felt like I
did, for we didn't leave enough of
those fellows to make squad worth
capturing, When we rode back to the
house the boys mother and sweet
heart were trying to carry his body
up the steps and get it ready for
burial. Neither one of them was cry
ing, because Virginia women didn't
do much of that in those days, but
my throat had got so choked up with
dust that had to go round to the well
to wash it out.

dered to surrender, but all except one
refused to come down.
while they were still in consulta-
tion and wondering if Fitzpatrick was
n prisoner, and while Hampton's men
were scattering through the camp, in-
tent on pillage, lieutenant of the
battery crept out to one of the guns,
loaded it with canister, and turning it
in the direction of the exulting con-
federates let drive. The effect was
tremendous. Our own men, hearing
the gun, rallied. The confederates in
range, believing that the full battery
was ready for business, got into a
| sort of panic. And then came Kill
patrick, riding bareback in his night
shirt. My recollection is that he
rode a mule, not horse, and this
made the picture the more grotesque.
But his men went in with bugle blasts
and shouts and soon were masters Of
the situation.
"The officers in the house came
downstairs to join in pursuit of the
| fellows who had few minutes be-
| fore demanded their surrender, and
in Il rough and tumble fight the
camp was cleared and everything
taken by the confederates recaptured,
except Kilpatrick's favorite horses.
This fight was one of the most dra-
matte of the war, and yet it was not
regarded as of much Importance at
the time. If Fitzpatrick had not gone
into the fight in his night shirt the
men in the ranks would not have
! talked so much about it,"
