Shielded His Officer From Danger

In his early manhood Bishop Earl Cranston, who presided recently at tho sessions of tho Methodist Episcopal Con ference, held in rorrington, Conn. serv- cd as captain in one of the volunteer regiments recruited in the North during the civil war. One night his company was holding an advanced post, which the Confederates had not ceased to shell with the going down of the sun; all through the hours of darkness the nion men, or such of them as stayed awake listened to the shrieking and the humming of the deadly messengers sped from the oppos- ing lines. Among those who dropped asleep was Captain Cranston. After an hours doZing he awoke. Close in front of him was stretched an old sergeant. evt- dently endeavoring to shield his officer from possible death.
 See here, my man, this won't do" ex- claimed the captain. You look out for yourself. I'm All right"
 Don't bother about me, captain!' re- turned the sergeant. i've got no family to leave. You have. Just go to sleep again"
 In the ensuing argument the sergeant was forced to yield his point. but the re- treat was only temporary. Pretty soon the captain fell asleep again and when he finally reused himself it was breaking day and the firing was being renewed with redoubled vigor Stretched in front of him again was the sergeant, who had crawled back to his post while his com mander slumbered. The incident was a superb example of that noblest spirit Of heroism which finds it's highest expres- sion in quiet and unosentatious sacrifice.

A Liberal Translation.

Senator Quay, while dining at coun- try hotel. noticed among the signs on the wall one reading lei on parle Francais. The Senator was somewhat amused and surprised because the necessity of being able to speak French in that particular section of rural Pennsylvania had never before appealed to him. Therefore. he called the proprietor to him and said; Do you speak French?"
 Not much," was the answer. United States will do for me-"
 Then why do you have that sign stuck up there? It means that French Is spoken here.'
 "Ye don't say so?" replied the aston isled publican "Pll be hanged if didn't buy it from young feller who told me that it meant God bless our home.

A Reminiscence of Stonewall Jack

Representative Peter J. Otey. one of the Virginia Congressional delegation, fin recalling the participation of the com pany from the Virginia Military Institute in the repulse of Browns raid at liar per's Ferry, tells this story on the au- thority of his brother, who was a mem Der of the company. and as such under the command of Thomas J. Jackson. who was afterward famous under the pictur- esque and significant name of stone wall" The company moved to its desti- nation by way of Washington, and for .one night the boys were quartered in that city at the Fremont House, which is still standing on Indiana Avenue. As the youthful volunteers were about to retire for the night Jackson noticed that young Otey put his watch and his money be- heath his pillow.
 Never. do that. my boy admonished the professor. If burglar were to en- ter the room the first place he would in- sist upon searching would be under the pillow. Always put your valuables in your, socks. Then you will never forget them"
 Next morning, as the boys were nur- rying to the train Otey met Jackson. rushing back to the hotel.
 Forget anything?" ventured the boy.
 Yes" replied Jackson. I've left my watch and pocket book behind"
 "I thought you put them In your socks. ."

Why an Author Refused to Meet a
 Viceroy.

Ralph Connor the author of Black Rock, is a warm friend of the Earl of Aberdeen. who was formerly Governor General of Canada. The circumstances leading up to that friendship are some- what remarkable. When Ralph Connor. who in private life is the Rev. Charles W. Gordon, was serving a little mission station near Banff. the Earl of Aber- deen and his wife visited that place and asked MT. Gordon to dine with them at their hotel. Much to their surprise he declined on the score of a previous en- gagement, but it was not until some time later. and then without the knowl edge of MT. Gordon, that the Earl was informed of the nature of the engage ment which led to the refusal of vice regal invitation, which In Canada is re- garded as tantamount to a command. 1t appears that at the hour set for the dn- ner MT. Gordon had promised to preach to a few miners, who were remote from civilization and rarely had an opportunity to receive the ministrations of a clergy man. Lord Aberdeen was much impress ed by this illustration of She mans strong sense of duty and thereafter the Viceroy was active in cultivating friendship that has since proven mutually profitable and pleasant.

A congressman's Horrible Break.

A new member of Congress was very anxious, according to The Washington Post. to get upon the good side of Su- perintendent Smith of the Botanic Gar deus. so that some flowers and potted plants might be sent to his house. As every one knows. Smith is. fine old Scotchman, who worships the memory of Robbie" Burns, and has probably the finest and most complete collection of editions of Burns works in the world.
 When, therefore, the new. member wept to Smith he resolved to say something which Would please the lover of Burns, When he entered Smiths library he looked with interest upon the books.
 II always did love Jimmie Burns poems." remarked the new member. Il never saw such fine collection of his works. 1 think Jimmie Burns was one Of the greatest men who ever lived.
 At this point MT. Smith could contain himself no further: Jimmie Burns!' he exclaimed, angrily. Tommy Wash ington! Sammy Bonaparte! Get out!'
 And then the new member realized that he had made a mistake.

An Interchange of Quotations.

An Interchange of Quotations.
 On one occasi on the Rev. pr. J. M. Buckley. now editor of The Christian Ad- vocate. had an amusing tilt with Bishop Fowler, who was presiding at confer. ence to which Dr. Buckley had been sent as a. delegate. ffie Bishop had permitted the doctor to speak upon certain aues- ton, after first announcing ruling which was not at all to pr. Buckiey's liking. The doctor good 'naturedly resented the Bishops attitude in the matter and in doing so referred the audience to that passage in the Psalms which assures de- iiverance from the snare of the Fowler.
 This remark, says the Rev. l.. H. Dor chester. who tells the story in The Chris tian Endeavor World, was greatly rel ished and applauded by the delegates But as soon as quiet was restored Bishop Fowler retorted with equal aptness that the Palmist in that same connection also said that we should be delivered from ''the noisome pestilence." This good na- tured turn on ono who had been heard as much as Dr. Buckley always is in con ference was also fully appreciated. and for many minutes the roars of laughter prevented any further speechmaking.
