INTERRUPTED ELoQUENCE.

1t may not be generally known that
our colonel was shot for making a
speech, but he was. 1t was at Mission
AIRY Ridge. 1t was about this way: Our
right and center had been broken and
it devolved on Cleburne's troops to hold
Sherman in check till the broken troops
could cross the Chickamauga. We were
behind light breastworks on top of the
ridge and Sherman's troops, under COW
the short turn of the hill, not more
than thirty steps from us, and in their
intended charge we could not see them
until within twenty feet and they
would be able to run right over us be-
fore we could get in more than one fire.
If they could drive Cleburne back they
would capture the biggest part of army
artillery and wagons. We had but one
line, while they had four. 1t was vir-
tually Cleburne's division against Sher-
mans corps. Sherman was virtually in
our rear. Cleburne, knowing he could
not withstand such unequal onset, de-
termined to make counter charge and
like Hams mule blow first" | heard
Cleburne tell the officers he was going
to charge them. The men sprang to
their feet ready for the work. Then
Colonel Mills fronted his men and in
hearing Of the Yankees proceeded to
fire them up, and said: Soldiers of

AN ARKANSAS SHAKE.

A Region Where Even the Frogs Are
Made Wretched by ChiIls and
Fever.
THE Arkansas chill is distinctive"
said man from the swampy region Of
that State. and I am sure there is
nothing like it in any other State or in
any other region Of the world. have
seen a good many chills, a good many
different types Of chi!ls. in my wander
ing over the country. but do not hest
tate to make the claim that the Arkan-
sas product. is in a class by itself.
There is the chill, for instance, which
is peculiar to the Ohio valley, and if
you will take my word for it is is no
easy thing on ones system. There is
chill peculiar to the swampy regions
of West Tennessee, which consists Of
a series of lazy yawns, a feeling Of
sluggishness and little fever. 1t is a
sort of dumb chill.
But for the genuine chill, the article
that will shake you until joints pop,
you want to cross the river and go
over into Arkansas. There you will
find the peculiar brand l had in mind
when began this story. 1t seems to
be indigenous to the soil, and some
| how, the people have as many as two
chills a day, one in the morning and
one in the evening. 1 have seen men
have everyday chills and third-day
chills and chills every nine days. I
have seen men engaged in farming in
the st. Francis basis shake until they
would almost jar the mud chimneys
down at the end of the shack. They
| would simply shake the whole house.
and you could hear their teeth rattle
a hundred yards from the house
heard man a few years ago, and he
heard man say years ago, and he had
lived in that section good long time,
| that three-fourths of the crop of red
pepper was consumed every year in an
effort to keep the chills off They are
great believers in red pepper as rem
edy for chills. OF course, / am not
vouching for this red pepper statement
although I know personally that the
citizens of the section use it a great
deal in an effort to break the chills.
How much of the crop they use l do
not know, but from what know about
the annual crop Of chills / should say
they used considerable amount of
pepper. Quinine is also in the sections
which are able to support physicians,
but red pepper is the remedy in the
| out-of-the-way places.
Speaking of chills, when I was up in
| that section of the country I used to
get flendish sort of satisfaction out
of seeing frog shake for an hour and
| he would do nothing but get into some
sunny place, blink his eyes and blow
When he would quit shaking he would
make alb reak for the water, and
knew then that his pulse was beating
faster and the fever was coming on.
oh, yes: I've seen frogs shake with
the Arkansas type of chills until you
| could imagine you heard their teeth
chattering. All Of which goes to show
what I said in the beginning, and that
is that the Arkansas chill is peculiar,
distinctive, unique in all respects

PEARL FISHERIES FAILING.
Comparatively Few CLANS are Left in
the Mississippi Sand Bars.

Comparatively Few CLANS are Left in
the Mississippi Sand Bars.
Pearl-bearing CLAIMS are disappearing
from the sand bars of Arkansas and
the Mississippi river at rate that
threatens to make the species extinct in
less than two years. The beginning of
the end has commenced and unless new
fields are discovered soon the pearl
fishing industry of the United States
will be thing of the past.
The reasons for this are manifold.
Of late years the demands on the clam
have been more than it could stand.
In addition to it's prize package" man.
ner of yielding up pearls, the shell of
the bivalve itself is of value. During
| the past year twenty-five factories for
the conversion of clam shells into pearl
buttons have been erected at Musca-
tine, Ia. This now makes fifty-five in
| this one town alone, in which the clam
shell is made into articles Of CONNER
| cial value.
| Early in the year shiploads of clam
shells began to be exported, and this
has been the means of disposing of
| whatever surplus yield there might be,
and has also raised the price so that
now pearl fishers are no longer obliged
to grapple all day for nothing in the
| hope of bringing up prize bivalve.
| These shells bring from twelve to fff-
| teen dollars a ton, and can readily be
sold to barges in which they are taken
| from the pearl fishing regions to the
| factories.
| Two years ago the Black river in Ar
kansas was the greatest pearl-yielding
river in the United States, but it's thir-
| ty miles of sand bars were worked by
such an industrious gang of fortune
hunters that nearly every clam was re-
moved from its bottom in less than
nine months. Flushed with their sue
| cess these hunters then swarmed out
on the Mississippi In this river the
pearls are scarce and not so valuable
and not much was done in the way OF
| getting rich until very valuable pearl
was found in the White river, in Ar
| kansas.
| Thither hurried the pearl fishers. All
the past season they have been Crap
pling for CLANS there, until now, as the
season closes, few CLAIMS are left on the
sand bars. A few months or six weeks
more on this river will clean it out en-
tirely, ara perhaps forever, of pearl
bearing bivalves.
The most promising field is the Cum
| berland river in Kent ucky. Here the
pearls are very valuable. but very
scarce, and it is doubtful if it will be
worked to any great extent, When
this river is dragged clean, whatever
domestic pearls there are left must
come from the Mississippi, and these
are so poor and so scarce that fishing
for them can hardly be called an in
| dustry.
The Arkansas pearls have been of a
particularly fine quality, some of them
| far excelling the Oriental pearl, and
pearl dealers in the United States, I'M
til they saw the beginning of the end
| have been happy. Now, however, ir
view of the fact that pearls are rapidly
becoming more popular, and promise ir
| the future to be the rival of the dia-
mond, jewelers. will be much affected
when the domestic pearl has become a
rare article.-Chicago Inter Ocean
