Mr.. John Cooper, one of Dooly coun-
TVS most prominent citizens, is In the
city on his way to Augusta to attend
the old veterans reunion. When he
got off the train, he looked up Captain
Warren Mcseley, one of the brayest Of
the boys who went out in the sixties,
and they Immediately began swapping
"reminiscences about their army life in
Virginia. Finally Mr.. Cooper asked
Captain Moseley If he remembered the
Yankee hat. A reporter who was stand
ing there heard the following story,
which both men vouch for as being abb
solutely true:
On the first day of the battle of Win
chester a Yankee was killed so near
the line of battle that soldier of the
name of McLendon, Company l, Fourth
Georgia, picked up the hat and put it
on and wore 1t. He had not had 1t on
his head for more than two hours when
he was shot through the head, the bull
let piercing the hat in almost the same
hole that the bullet had entered that
killed the Yankee.
Another soldier of the name Of Woo
ten of Company H, Fourth Georgia,
picked up the hat and put it on, and in
less than an hour he, too, was killed,
the bullet striking him in the head near
the place where the other two bullets
had entered.
The next day another soldier Of the
name Of Fitzpatrick Of Company II,
Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat
when he, too, was struck in the head
and killed.
Although the hat was a fine one, it
was left lying on the field, as there
was no one who would wear it, as four
men who had worn it were then cold
and stiff, and each one had been shot
through the hat in almost the same
place.-Macon News.

A newcomer in Africa has many
surprises. A. B. Lloyd, the author of
Dwarf Land and CannibaI Country. =
narrates an amusing little experience
of his own in purchasing a donkey in
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
means an easy task. OF course each
one had to be tried as we were to use
them for riding purposes. and in the
course Of the work we had various ex-
periences. had set my mind upon a
fine female donkey and took her out
for an afternoons ride. / shall not

she would not move, In spite Of all
my most tender persuasions. and final
" she began to back.
Now. the streets of Zanzibar are very
narrow, and coming up behind me was
q large bullock wagon. Ny sweet tenn
pered donkey backed right on TO the
horns of the bullocks. Then 1t was no
longer a case of making her go, but Of
making her stop.
Away she few, right along the Naza
Moja road, and nothing | could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact, soon tired of trying and let her
go. On she went, right in among the
cocoanut trees, regardless of every
thing until she came to a steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense, and decided to
keep her.

On the top of Bald Eagle mountain,
Just where the old turnpike breaks
over the brow down into Black Hole
valley, is a queer field Of rock, which
years ago was christened 1.-THE Devils
Turnip Patch" The rocks, which are
of a reddish sandstone, have a striking
popularity of all standing on end, thus
forming jagged, irregular surface,
that won for it its queer name from
the early settlers.
In bygone days, when the stages
wheeled their way up from Northum-
berfand tSs-y EilHamsport, the four in
hands traversed the old pike that skirts
the turnip patch, and the strange gar
den of rocks was constant source of
wonderment to the traveller Added
to its interest az a natural curiosity is
a hidden stream of water somewhere
beneath the standing stones, the noisy
flowing of which forms romantic
song beneath ones feet. Nobody
knows where the source of this stream
is, nor can anybody find where it emp
ties itself into Black Hole valley.
The rock field covers an area of two
or three acres, with its widest part to
the north, then narrowing down v
shaped to the south. where the angle
Is lost in a fringe of stunted hemlocks

Literary America.

Statistics of the relative populations of
the British isles and the United States
give color to the prophecy of Brander
Matthews that sooner or later the ltera-
~ center of the English language is to
be transferred from England to this
country. If such a transfer is almost
unprecedented in literary history, the
scholar can find close parallel in the
case of Alexandria, which became the
capital of Greek culture. In an article
in The Bookman Professor Matthews
says: "When the bulk of contemporary
English literature is produced by Amer
lean authors and when the British them
selves have accepted the situation and re-
signed themselves at last to the depar-
ture of the literary supremacy Of Lon
don, then the weight of American prece-
dent will be overwhelming. Without
knowing it, British readers of American
books will be led to conform to American
usage, and American terms Will not seem
outlandish to them, as these words and
phrases do even now, when comparalsre-s
ly few American authors are read in
Great Britain. And these American in
novations will be very few, for the con-
servative instinct is in some ways stron-
ger in the United States than it is in
Great Britain, due perhaps partly to the
more widespread popular education here,
which gives to every child a certain sol
idarity with the past"

Kent the Bonnet Company.

The story of an elderly couple who
lived in a Massachusetts town nearly
30 years ago is told by some of the old
est inhabitants with much JUNCTION.
The lady had been bereft Of one help
meet, and her second husband had
twice been left a widower before the
pair were united in the bonds Of mat
rimony. They were both of that tenn
permanent which causes its possessor to
be characterized as "set."
On the wedding day the bride found
in the back entry, on a conspio uous
nail, a sunbonnet which had belonged
to her immediate predecessor. She re-
moved it to oblivion in a closet
Her newly welded husband made no
comment, but replaced the sunbonnet
on its accustomed nail.
During the next few days the calico
headgear vibrated with more or less
regularity between the closet and the
nail. Then there came day when the
bride approached her husband with a
mans hat in her hand as he was in the
act Of reinstalling the sunbonnet.
"If you have that sunbonnet there,
she said firmly, 81 shall hang up my
first husbands hat ON the next nail
She looked at the bridegroom and
met the counterpart of her own ex-
preston. She hung the hat on the des-
ignated nail, and, although the two
people lived to be very old, neither the
hat nor the sunbonnet ever moved
again till the house came into the
hands of new owner.-Youth's Com
panion.

it with provisions. The weather was

knoll Dorr left the boat and started
over the Ice.

LOVES POWER.

Az far as are the heavens from the earth
Is your own world from mine
The world which you adorn by right of birth,
BY right Of beauty, womanhood and worth,
In which your talents shine,
Wherein you nobly won what you've acquired
And now, meier before,
Are loved by young and old, sought for, admired,
Welcomed at every door.
And yet you tell me that did you not know
The love that fills my heart
The love for you ever strive to show
From my own puny world so far below
From yours so far apart
That were it not for this you could not be
To Others what you are;
That you are so from what you are to me,
From my true love and care.
Such is the power Of love, that like the rays
OF summers golden sun
nlumines two worlds through all the days
And, though our lives may follow parted ways,
Still keeps our hearts as one.
One heart in duty, sacrifice and love,
One heart in truth and right,
Till in the happiness that lies above
Our two worlds shall unite
