line with instructions from General
Jackson himself to let nobody through,

Gus to this order the countersign, II

was communicated to the staffs and

been on duty very long before they saw
a body Of men riding along the lines.
The challenge was given and the re-

the horsemen started through the line
and nine of the guards, according to
instructions, sent a volley after them.
Three bullets went true to their mark

wound which caused his death.

HE KILLED ST0ReWAlL JACKSON.

Frank S. Rosenthal, rich hide and
wool dealer of Carrollton, Mo-, has
been haunted ever since the Civil war
by the thought that he was proba-
bly, the man who fired the shot at
Charlottesville, which killed General
"Stonewall" Jackson, and he declares
he would give his entire fortune to be
certain that it was not his bullel that
caused the death of the great Confed-
crate commander. Mr.. Rosenthal
served throughout the war with the
louisiana Tigers, one of the most
noted regiments in the old Stonewall
brigade, and he and S. Solomon, Of
Macon, Ga, are the sole survivors Of
the picket guard which fired on Gener-
al Jackson that fatal night.
In telling the story of his part In
the terrible tragedy which deprived
the Confederate army of its great mil
itary genius, Mr.. Rosenthal says that

ENFORCE THE VAGRANT LAw.-Of
late Atlanta has been the rendezvous
of criminals whose acts Of lawlessness
have incensed the community. Among
those reported as giving trouble recent
ly were two ex-convicts. Many Ne
groes released from chaingangs and
prisons stop in Atlanta and ply their
nefarious business here.
In other words, this is a center for
criminals as we'll as an important GEN.
ter in almost every other respect. To
meet this danger it is necessary that
the vagrant law should be rigidly en-
forced. That would force the criminal
class to earn an honest living or move
on. Men now engaged in burglariz-
ing houses, petty larceny and other
crimes would either earn their bread,
20 to the chaingang or leave town.
Either result would reduce the work of
the police to a maximum and make this
an orderly community once more. -

4 BR'ToH'S IDEA OF FREEDOM.
It was to Roll Himself on the White House
Lawn, and He did X.

IT never go to Washington that do
not think of young Englishman who
went around the city with me dozen
years ago." said a man who had just
returned from the inauguration cere-
monies. 1--WE saw everything that
there was to be seen. He was pleased
with everything, and he said so; but
the thing that impressed him most
was the lack of formality and the abb
sence Of guards.
HE never tired of talking Of this
and comparing the simplicity Of the
arrangements in Washington with the
way the rulers Of Europe are all
guarded. Particularly he was Impress
ed by the fact that any one who wish
ed to was allowed to go into the White
House grounds, and wander around
without showing any passes or creden-
tials of any kind.
"Well, one day we were wandering
around and we went up past the White
House. The Englishman stopped and
watched the stream Of men and women
going into the grounds.
"'By Jove,' he said, 1T is wonderful,
and no mistake. Why, they let you do
just as you please. Do you know, I
think that If a fellow wanted to he
could go in there and roll over on the
lawn and there wouldn't be a person
who would think Of speaking to him
about it, OF course no one would
speak to him about it, said. What's
more, If you want to do it I'll stay
and watch you, and If any one does
say anything to you about 1t I'll help
you lick him.
Twill you?' he said.
"I mean it, said I.
HE looked at me for minute, and
then he walked into the White House
grounds. There was a crowd there,
but no one paid the least attention to
him. He went out on the lawn right
in front of the main entrance of the
building, and lay down fiat on his back.
Then he rolled over three times, slow
ly and deliberately. Then he got up
and walked out of the grounds, as hap
py as though he had found $40.
mo one looked at him, and no one
spoke to him; to roll over on the White
House lawn might have been the prop
er thing to do so far as the attention
that it attracted went. The English
man said that If he had acted that way
In one of the capitals Of Europe he
would have been locked up as dan
gerous character. He was very proud
of his exploit and I suppose that he is
still telling the story of it in England"

OUR Ex.PRESIDEHTS.
Twice 10 the History Of the Country Four
Were Living at Once.

iWiSe w the HistViy VI the eouhtIy run
Were Living at Once.
Grover Cleveland Is the only living
ex-president.
There have been two and more in
several periods Of our history and
twice we have been left without an
ex-president-when WASHINGTON died
in 1899 and when Andrew Johnson died
in 1875 John Adams became the sole
surviving ex-president in 1901. Jeffer-
son came to his company in 1909, Mad
ison in 1917 and Monroe in 1926. For
the first four months Of John Quincy
Adams's administration we had four
ex-presidents.
John Adams and his successor and
most determined political opponent,
died on the same day, July 4, 1925,
leaving Madison and Monroe our only
ex-presidents.
The Inauguration Of Jackson in 1928
added John Quincy Adams to the list
Of ex-presidents, but in 1881 Monroe
died and reduced their number again
to two. In 1886 Madison passed away,
leaving Adams the lone ex-president
until Jackson retired in 1887. Van Bu-
rem became an ex-president in 1S41
and Tyler in 1S45. Then we had four
again.
Jackson died the same year and
Adams in 1s4s, leaving Van Buren and
Polk the only two ex-presidents. Polk
increased the number to three in 1s49,
but died that year. In 1853 Fillmore
joined Van Buren and Polk in the ex-
presidential list. Pierce increased the
number to four in 1857, and Buchanan
made 1t five in 1861, which Is the larg-
est number of such worthless with
which we have ever been blessed.
Tyler and Buchanan both died in 1862
and Fillmore in 1874.
Then Johnson was the only surviv-
ing ex-president. Johnson's death in
1875 left us without an ex-president.
Grants retirement in 1877, that Of
Hayes in 1881 and that of Arthur in
1885 gave the country three ex-presi-
dents.
Grant died a few months after Ar
thurs retirement and Arthur died the
next year. leaving Hayes the only ex-
president. Mr.. Cleveland became an
ex-president in 1889 and we had two
such dignitaries again. The number
has been the same ever since until the
death Of Benjamin Harrison.

Hog LORE IN A LAwsUIT.-E. E. AK
line, a prosperous hog raiser, Of Oak
Grove, Mo-, is suing the United States
Express company for $l,5OO in Judge
Henry's court today. He places that
value upon a boar which he shipped
from Oak Grove to e. H. Ware at
Douglass, Ill.,, April 16, 1900. The hog
died en- route.
On the stand Mr.. Axline said that he
had sold the hog to Mr.. Ware for 1000,
to be paid on safe delivery.
IF you pour water on a hogs back,
and particularly on it's kidneys, when
it is heated, death ensues in a few
minutes, said Mr.. Axline, in assigning
an explanation for the hogs death.
He said it was probable that the hog
did not have sufficient ventilation
and got hot in the close quarters of the
express car.-Kansas City World.

 It is said that a trip abroad will do more towards making new mon and new women than all of the theories ever advanced by medical men. It is natures workshop on the most improv- and a different view of men and things.

The Anchor line offers a solution of the problem in it's low rates and unsurpassed steamships and ser vice. Once on board of an Anchor liner the passenger experiences higher and better life, and fo~cets that trouble ever existed. The voyage is one of pleasur- able companionship and acticity, or of absolute rest and seclusion, according to the desire of the individual--a trip for those who wish to retain their health as much as for those who have lost it. The accommodations and com forts provided on all steamships In the Anchor line service are unsurpassed and the attractions of the great Glasgow exhibition this season mako a trip dou- bly alluring.
