that it was first sung as a vintage song

the reapers were used to tighten their
labors with its lively strains.
The tune was first sung in England
in the time of Charles l, and after the

The Memorial day procession has
come to be regarded as an annual
event equal in importance TO Inde-

the year In the civil calendar In which
United States troops regularly join
with the citizen soldiers, the Grand Ar
my and others In a celebration that Is
purely that Of the civilian, for the mill.
taman Is looked upon in the same
light as the civilian, according to the
ethics Of the regular army. Each year
these professions show more clearly
than all else the fact that the ties
which bind the north and the south to-
gether as one country are steadily
growing stronger and stronger. Tel
years ago to see a nan wearing the
Confederate gray marching in the Me-
mortal day procession would have been
considered almost sacrilege. Today 1t
is not only not unusual, but a well
come event to the Grand Army posts
composed of the very men who fought
SO long against an enemy h Il clothed.
Memorial day, 1901, witnesses the
almost complete obliteration Of the sec

caused. The man who today in poll
tics "waves the bloody shirt" Is scorn-

orally for his lamentable ignorance Of
the fact that the time when that sort
Of buncombe proved popular has gone
forever. This is the day when the peo-'

separated from the bitterness Of defeat
and the egotism Of victory, join hands

G THE RAIDER.
A Funny Incident on One of His
Raids.

Raids.
Morgan was regarded BY the Union
soldiers as a holy terror" said one of
the famous cavalry leaders, men, and
stories have been spread among them
reciting how he shot down his cap
.tives and gave mercy to none. On
the contrary, he was kind hearted, as
those who knew him can attest. He
was fond Of a joke, though. On n
Of our raids we captured about %
Union men neal Murfreesboro, Tenn.
They expected nothing else than to
be shot down after the general had
first eaten a good meal. They began
to talk about it so excitedly that some
one reported the matter to General
Morgan. Walking from his tent. he
ordered the prisoners to be drawn up
In line. Then, mounting his horse. he
rode to the center of the small column
and said to them that they must be
acquainted with his methods of get.
ting rid Of prisoners and he personally
regretted that such a fine looking body
of men had fallen into the hands Of
a man who. 1t was known to them all.
sacrificed human life as though he
were shooting down a fatted calf.
"One little Dutchman at the head of
the line grew weaker and weaker as
the generals speech wore on, until he
finally burst into tears, exclaiming:
"'Oh. for Colts sake, vot will mine
family do?
1.-THE generals heart was touched.
Riding up to the little Dutchman, he
placed his hand on his head and said:
"'Why, God bless you, my a l
would not harm a hair Of your head
for my life. You were all SO scared
on account Of the bad repute in which
you held me that thought l would
play a practical joke on you.'"-Louis-

A CLEVER RUSE.
How a Cavalryman Provided Him.
self With Il Horse.

-F-+
The Confederate cavalryman was Of
ten puzzled as to how to provide him.
self with a horse. The authorities gave
him the choice to keep mounted or go
into the ranks with his musket, as
horses were not furnished by the gov
eminent. To be ~dismounted. and be-
come a foot soldier was worse to him
than a court martial, and he would
risk much in his efforts to get a horse
from the enemy. In the fall Of 1863 a
rebel avalryman had his horse killed
in a skirmish near Warrenton, and as
his best chance was then to capture
one from the enemy he put his wits to
work to devise the ways and means.
He was with the outside pickets, and
not far off, OF the pike, were the cav
airy pickets Of the enemy. He pro.
cured a piece of telegraph wire from
the railroad, and when twilight came
on he stretched this across the road,
fastening one end to the fence and the
other end to a convenient tree just high
enough to catch n cavalryman about
the belt. When matters were thus ar
ranged to his liking, he started down
the pike and stopped in plain view Of
the enemy.
1t was not long before three Of them
gave chase mounted on good horses. 1t
was now too dark for them to see the
wires, and on they came, determined
to have a prisoner. The chase was
sharp and quickly over, SO that by the
time the rebel schemer had passed
through and under his trap the enemy
was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two
Of the pursuers were quickly and most
unceremoniously endorsed, and the
third was so much astOnished and
frightened at their fate as to turn and
beat a hasty retreat. The two horses
without their riders continued down
the road and were easily captured by
the Confederate, who by his clever ruse
became their owner and kept his place
in his cavalry.
The two pickets, left to themselves,
hurriedly made their way back to their
comrades as crestfallen and astonished
as two men could well be. The hero
of this incident tells the tale himself
and adds he rode one of these horses
to Appomattox and from there to his
home and that it was one Of the best
he ever Observation-Disclosures Post.
