Dfdn,t Need Them.

DR.. Shuts, an old soldier of Wichita,
tells grewsome story of how he was
once marked for death and how he got
religion. He had been badly wounded
and was in big hospital near Wash
ington. He noticed that it was the
custom of the hospital laundry to close
at six o'clock every evening, and that
if there was patient in the ward who
was expected to die during the night
clean underclothes were brought from
the laundry and put by his bed. One
night the nurse brought clean under
clothes and put them by DR.. Shuts
bed, and he knew that his time had
come. AS the hours wore on young
woman came to him and offered to
pray. She was Ella Chase, sister Of
the famous Kate Chase Sprague and
daughter of Salmon p. Chase, secre-
tary of the treasury. The doctor was
glad to have her pray, and he admits
that he did little supplicating on his
own account. However, he pulled
through the night, and the next morn
ing those clean underclothes were car
ried away.-Kansas City Journal.

CAPT. FORBES EXPLOIT.
How the Federal omeer Deceived
and Disconnected the Copfed-
crate Gen. LOring.

THAT cavalry sergeant" said Capt.
L. M. Lippincott, in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, who spoke from memory of
Grierson's raid remembers some very
interesting things l would like to
know more about, and 1 hope he viii
send his address, to me at Boscobel,
Wis. l was member of the Sixth
Illinois cavalry, Gen. Grierson's own
regiment, in that raid, and l am in
terested in every scrap of informa-
ton relating to what l regard as the
greatest cavalry raid of the civil war.
ION one point L think the sergeant
is mistaken. He states that Col. Good
win was in command of the confeder-
ate cavalry occupying Enterprise,
Miss, when Capt. Forbes, of the
Seventh Illinois cavalry, made his de-
mand for surrender. MY recollection
is that Maj, Gen. W. w. Loring and
not Col. Goodwin was in command at
Enterprise, and that he had a force
OF infantry. This recollection Is borne
out by Gen. Pemberton's official re-
port, in which Loring is located at En-
terprise with "a large body Of infan-
try
"a IL.
Forbes rode into Enterprise with a
nag of truce and demanded the imme-
date and unconditional surrender of
the town, with all troops, arsenals and
government property. Gen. Lorin0,
under the impression that Forbes rep
resented Grierson's full command.
LOO strong, asked time to consider the
proposition. Forbes agreed to return
in an hour, and with his 35 men rode
| away"
MY version of the story" said the
major, sis in accordance with the SER
geant's recollections. Col. Edward
Goodwin was in command of the Thir-
ty-hfth Alabama, stationed at Enter
prise, when Capt. Forbes made his de-
mand for surrender. Gen. Loring hav-
ing been informed that Grierson with
1900 men was threatening Goodwin,
hurried there with two regiments.
Even after his arrival Loring report
ed to Gen. Pemberton that the enemy
was within three miles of the town.
This shows how completely Capt.
Forbes had deceived the enemy as to
his strength and movements, and as to
the movements of Grierson's main
column. Since the close of the war I
have talked with many men who served
in the confederate cavalry and infan-
try regiments operating against Grier-
on, and they admit that major gem
| erals, colonies, captains and men in
| the ranks were all in a state of be-
wilderment over Grierson's move
ments.
'The raid was unexpected, and the
regular confederate cavalry was not
in position to intercept Grierson's col
umn. Home guards, rangers. infantry
and cavalry were all pressed into hot
pursuit. but so many rumors were fly
ing, and Grierson was reported at so
many different points at the same

THE VENDETTA
THAT DID NOT DIE

little house on the ramparts of Boni-

across a narrow sandbar upon the

Sandman fishing boats, and every
Is days the old sidewheeler which
went to and from Ajaccio.
Clusters of little white houses
showed white even upon the white
sides of the chalky mountain. They
looked like birds nests stuck into
the crevices of the malignant cliffs
which hung over the horrible water
way, where ships dared not go. Re
lentlessly the wind harries the sea
and wears against the naked faces
of the rock, whereon few blades OF
grass could cling. Pale foam flecks
scattered upon the thousands OF
rock edges which pierce into the sea
looking like rags of white linen
floating and palpitating upon the
surface OF the water.
The Widow Savorini's house, placed
upon the extreme edge of the pas
sageway, opened its three windows
upon this savage and desolate no
rizon.
She lived there alone with her sor
Antoine, and their dog Semillant, 6
big, emaciated, ragged-haired shep
herd dog. She was the young man.

One night, after n quarrel, Antoine
was murdered by Nicolas Ravollat
with poniard, who that same night
escaped TO Sardinia.
When the old mother saw her sons
body brought in to her by the neigh
bors, she did not cry, but remained g
long time mute, looking at him fixed
ly; then, stretching her wrinklec
hand over the corpse, she promised
1t vendetta. She did not want the
people TO stay with her, and she
shut herself in alone with her deac
and the dog, which howled grievous
ly. The dog howled steadily, erect
at the foot of the bed, her heac
stretched towards her master and
her tail wrapped tightly through hel
legs. She was as still as the WON

wept big, silent tears from her un

His old mother began to talk to

dog was stilled.

promises you, and she always keeps
her word-your mother. You know
that we'll"
Slowly she leaned toward him,
pressing her cold lips upon the dead
lips.
Then Semillant began to howl
again. She gave long, wearying
shrieks, heart-tearing, horrible.
They staid there, those two, the
woman and the dog, until morning.
Antoine Savorini was buried in the
morning, and soon was no longer
spoken of in Bonifacio.
He left no brothers and no near
cousins. There was no man there to
carry on the vendetta. The mother
alone thought Of it.
On the other side of the strait she
saw from morning till night a white
spot on the cliffs. 1t was little Sar-
dinian village, Longosardo, the refuge
of Corsican bapditti who were hunted
too closely. They made up nearly the
entire population of this hamlet,
which faces the shores of their home
land, and they waited there until they
might return. She knew Nicolas Ra-
vollati was In this village.
All alone, alb day long, sitting at
her window, she looked across, think
ing of the revenge. What could she
do without anyone, feeble and near to
death? But she had promised, she
had sworn upon the corpse. She could
not forget, she could not wait. What
would she do? She could not sleep

tation on London market was ~ 5-Sd on
January 2 and the lowest "a l5-l6d in
December. The purchases on account OF
the government OF India fell off heavily
from the preceding year. The coinage
of the Indian mints for the II months
ending with February, 1902, was only
4s,5O7, 900 rupees, against l5o,7sO, ,754
rupees in the same month of the previ.
ous year. The demand for China also
declined, owing to the retirement Of
most Of the foreign troops called there
during the Boxer troubles Of 1900. While
the troops were there the shipments Of
silver were exceptionally large and after
their retirement silver bars and Mexican
dollars accumulated ut the seaports in
unusual amounts, rendering further i'm.
ports for the time unnecessary. The
European demands for silver for coinage
purposes are light, rs the governments
are pursuing the policy Of supplying
needs for subsidiary coins by the recoin.
