"a good many of the boys" said a
veteran recently, made mistakes IN
the last year of the war. The hundred
days men and the one-year men who
enlisted in 1854 or early in 1865, were
hard to hold after the surrender OF
Lee. Even some of the veterans who
had re-enlisted were FESTIVE when they
saw the Confederate armies breaking
up. They had enlisted for the war,
and now that the war was over they
wanted to go home. Those who for
any reason were retained beyond their
time became almost mutinOus, and
were only restrained from outbreaks
by pride and sense of duty. The more
reckless men, however, Indifferent as

and there is soon to be erected in
New York. a similar statue of Gen.
William Tecumseh Sherman. 1t is to be
hoped the citizens of New York are
not unmindful of the fact that there
was another great general of the
Union forces who did much toward
bringing the war to successful con-
clusion We refer to General Philip
Sheridan of Winchester and Shenan-
doah fame. Grant and Sherman re-
posed trust and confidence in him, and
bore testimony to his services on be-
half of the North.
1t should be particularly appropriate
to erect statue of this general, rep

That Scrap with Sheridan.


by the way said the Colonel, 'I
have a letter from Jack LETTERS. He
wants me to understand that he has
never talked about his scrap with
Sheridan in the cabbage field at Edge
field. His version differs in no par
ticular from that given by his old
comrades of the Forty-second Ohio.
He explains that he was the last man
in the world to strike an officer, par
ticularly Sheridan, whom he liked.
But when the blow came, he thought
some of the boys were trying to get
his cabbage, and as he never permit
ted any man to strike him he struck
back without looking at any one.
Jack insists that he never told the
story while he was in the service, but
that men of his company who saw the
scrap frequently joked him about it.
He doesn't object to the telling of the
story now, but refers with more pride
to the record of Company K, Fifty
second Ohio, made at Peach Tree
creek, where LETTERS and Lieut.. Frank
B. James were the only ones left to
answer roll call. All the others were
killed, wounded or captured. Jack
also refers with pride to the fact that
he was not far away when Col. Dan

The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow

ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast it into the river without any
discussion The latter way is certain
ly effective.

Consumers can protect themselves
by buying only high-grade baking

grocer to take something else as ''just

There are several good powders on
