A Ten-Year-OId Confederate Sat Up
ON n Gate Post Four Days
and siEnaled.

Henry s. Carr, now q deputy at the
county Jail, was one of the youngest
spies in the services on either side in
the war between the north and the
south. At the age Of ten Mr.. Carr re-
ceived his first instructions, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t was the year that the Louisville
forts were built. The order for all
able-bodied men of certain ages TO
assist in the construction of the forts
had been issued and many southern
sympathizers were looking about for
some way to evade the edict.
Judge S. A. Carr, father of the dep
uty jailer, openly declared that he
would do no work for the soldiers from
the north. He also declared that his
negroes should not help to build the
forts, and the officer in comand of
the federal troops heard Of It. A SQUAD
of soldiers was dispatched at double
quick time to the Carr homestead,
which was within 100 yards of Western
Park
When the soldiers arrived, they found
a barefooted boy sitting upon fence
post. He was swinging his legs and
whistling, as only some boys can. a
lieutenant was in charge of the SOL
diers, and he drew rein when he saw
the boy. He inquired for Judge Carr.
The boy shook his head and answered
that he did not know him.
The soldiers passed. An hour later
they returned, and the boy was still
upon the gate post. All day the soldier
searched the woods, and all day the
boy sat upon the gate post. The follow
ing morning the soldiers returned, and
again the boy was upon the gate post.
Il sat there for about four days."
said Mr.. Carr. MY father and sew

were hid in the woods, and by means OF
a signal code we were able to commu-
nicate with one another.

FOREST PROTECTION.
. New Jersey Legislature Hns Just
Passed n Law which All other
states should Copy.

Through Senator Minch, our coun-
Gil has succeeded in getting a law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, on forest fires, A law that we
urge all good citizens TO understand
and sustain.
Friends of forests in other states
may do well TO seek similar legisla-
ton in +heir respective common
Nveal1hs. Animal and plant life and
health are SO dependent on forest
conditions, as influencing climate.

ton. 1t is also such a question in
respect to streams for water power,
and for navigation. For prevention
of floods and the regulation of rain.

is one of many millions year &c
any one of the United States. If
rain comes at the right time "A farm

than if not so coming. Every 10000
such farmers in that state have ST.
O0O,0 annually at stake. Similar
figures apply to climate respecting
sickness. a citizen of a town, as
well as IA farmer, may lose $500 by
sickness that would be prevented by
wise forest regulation. Forest foil
age is the chief protection from ma
'larial enemies in the air; and the
great dispenser of healthful oxygen.
Forests are the main and practical
ly the only regulation of rainfall.
Fire is the greatest of the many
enemies to the forest. The person,
or the corporation, starting such a
fire should suffer severe penalties.
To this end our forest council has
secured the passage of the law re-
ferred to. We believe it to be one
of the best ever enacted for this
purpose. 1t will repay citizens to
understand this law and sustain it.
The great work for good citizens.
under it, is to secure investigation OF
forest fires, and see that each town
ship committee selects fire marshal.
Local civil engineers are often the
best men for marshals.
Citizens of other states not bav-
ing good laws protecting from for
est fires should demand similar &C.
ton to that of New Jersey from
their respective legislatures, and then
sustain the same. Forest fires are
usually of far more damage than
they are assessed for.-George May
Powell, President New Jersey Forest
Council.

the matter in charge to substitute
heavily-veiled man disguised as q
woman, for the pretty girl that had
been promised.
Friedman's friends were at their
wits ends until somebody suggested
the propriety of introducing the vic
tim TO Miss Schwartz, who had been
making her home with Mr.. Firestone
for some time. Miss Schwartz at
once entered into the spirit of the
joke and consented TO carry out her
part. She met Mr.. Friedman that
evening and spent considerable time
three times after that before the
evening of the celebration, and il was
observed that Mr.. Friedman was a
trifie more attentive to Miss Schwartz
than the ethics of q mock ceremony
seemed to require.
On the evening Of the proposed oele-
bration Mr.. FireStone's home was bril-
Aantly illuminated and crowded with
friends whe had been tipped on" re-
garding the fun that was to come. The
man who was TO act the part OF the
bride had donned his female attire,
and heavy veil and verything was IN
readiness for the ceremony, when the
guests were astounded by Mr.. Fried
mans smiling announcement that he
regretted very much to spoil the ar
engagements for the evening. but that
no mock marriage would take place.
Instead, he delared, there would be q
real engagement ceremony between
| himself and Mise Schwartz.
Before the managers of the joke and
the guests could fairly recover from
their surprise. says the New York
World, Mr.. Friedman led Miss
| Schwartz into the room and asked
Rabbi Edelman to publicly hear their
| betrothal vows. A pretty ceremony
| was performed and q felScitous address
| was made by the rabbi. Mr.. Friedman
gave his betrothed beautiful en-
/ gagemsnt ring.
/ At the feast which followed, the
whole story of the change in the cere
mony was told by the young couple
Both confessed that il was a ease OF
love at sight. and Mr.. Friedman de
clared that he at once determined tC

Miss Schwartz's promise TO marry him

In addition to the general celebra-

synagogues a number OF the most

arranged for private celebration at
the home of Samuel Firestone.
Several of Mr.. Frestone's intimate
friends got their heads together and
decided that the event would pass of
more pleasantly Il some member of
the party were made the victim of a
practical joke. Lots were cast as to
who would be the victim and Mr.. Max
Friedman was selected.
A mock marriage ceremony was ar
ranged and Mr.. Friedman was request
ed to act as bridegroom. His friends
assured him that he would have a
beautiful young woman to stand up
with him during the mock ceremony
and he readily consented to the plans.
The details of the ceremony were
carried out with great elaborateness.
Bridal flowers were ordered and
trivial gifts were to be presented to
help out the fun.
Two or three days before the cele-
bration Mr.. Friedman became impa-
tient to learn the name OF the pretty
maiden who was to be his partner
and insisted upon being presented to
her. This threatened to upset all the
