In time of peace to be an officer of militia is not an eag- erly sought for commission, and men do not fall over themselves in order to obtain such places. Therefore, when the quarrel between Governor Leedy, on one side, and the militia, on the other, reached the breaking point the militia proceeded to cut the Gordian knot by resigning in body only shortly to find that the said knot inelesed their noses, which they, at the same time, cut off to spite their joint and several faces. For on the heels of the resignations came the Hispano- American war, and Gov ernor Leedy, from being saddled with a lot of commissions which were going begging, suddenly found himself in. pos session of batch of commissions which

feet high, straight and rather slen-
der, of dark complexion, showing
little if any rosy red, yet good
health, the outline of the face near
ly circle and within that eyes dark
to blaclIness, strong and penetrat
ing, beaming with intelligence and
good nature; an upright forehead,
rather low, was terminated in u
horizontal line by mass of raven
black hair Of unusual thickness and
strength. The features of the face
were in harmony with this outline
and the temples fully developed.
The result of this combination
vas interesting and very agreeable.
The body and limbs indicated agility
rather than strength, in which, how
ever, he was by 40 means deficient.
He wore a purple or pale blue hunt
ing shirt and trousers of the same
material fringed with white. A
round black hat, mounted with the
bucks tail for a cockade, crowned
the figure and the man. He went

was gone Webster called his son
Fletohet and told him to look over
hi papers and see if he could not
find a receipted bill. To the sur
prise of both, two reccipted bills
were found, showing that the bill
had been paid twice. Webster put
the receipts in his pocket and said
nothing,
In the morning the neighbor re-
turned for the money. Webster
took his seat under the old elm and
ordered Wright to bring out the de-
canter. FllllnE the glass 10 the

Webster continued, Sand while YOU
are about it YOU had better get

him another receipt. "Now," said
Webster, Il am going to pay this
