CAME TO MEND THE BUST.
And the JanitOr Thought He Was the
Plumber Come to Mend the
Waterpipe.

Daniel Chester French, the sculptor,
is an Exeter boy and graduate Of
Phillips Exeter academy. Like all Ex-
eter men, he is very loyal, and has gen.
erously donated examples of his work
to both town and academy, says Lon
don paper. ..
A few years ago one of the busts in
the academy chapel had the misfor-
tune to lose nose, and as Mr.. French
was visiting the town he kindly Of
fered to replace it..
Now, it happened that the bust was
not the only thing in the academy that
needed mending, for the night before
a cold snap had frozen and burst the
main water pipe. The plumber, as
usual, was late in appearing, and the
old janitor was terribly upset. Mr..
French put on his Studio rig, packed
what few sculptor materials he had
with him into bag, and went to the
academy. He didn't know what part
of the building the statue was in, says
the New York Times, SO he rang the
bell, called up the janitor and said:
1--WE come to mend the BUST
'sIndade, it is hoigh tonne. thought
we'd never come" stormed the irate
janitor. "The wather is jist runnin'
arl over the buildin'!"

HELD THE FLAG UNDER FIRE.
How the Colors Were Kept Anoat
Through the Hot Work at
Kenesaw.

"That story Of Sergt. David U. Nc
Collough,' said the captain, according
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, remind
ed me that was almost at McCol-
lough's side when he was shot. He
was carrying the colors' of the Fifty
second Ohio when we made the as
sault on Kenesaw, June ~, 1864. He
was at the abattis in front of the main
confederate works when he was shot
through the shoulder. AS one of the
color guards caught him and lowered
him to the ground Mccullough handed
Maj. J.. H. Holmes, then in command
of the Fifty-second, the colors, and
said: "Take them, major; they never
touched the ground"
"The major grasped the colors, gave
them to one of the corporals of the
color guard, and led the way through
the distractions. At first the colors
were planted on top of the confed-
crate works. When they were shot
down and the flagstaff splintered, the
boys cut canteen in strips, repaired

he DIDN'T FEAR THEM.
The Dostor's Dead Patients Were Not
q Source Of Any Great Annoy
ance with HIM.

There is I doctor Of the old school in one
Of the New England villages near Ran
dolph, Mass, the former home Of Mary
E. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by q
cemetery. The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an eighth OF mile. Some might find such a
house lot doleful,a sand surely. the neighbors are
not lively. But that thought never troubled
the villagers so much as the prospect Of
going home at night, says the New. York
Tribune. In the country towns OF New
England the graveyard at night is still .
thing Of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
footstones toward the east, SO that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: "Are you not afraid to 80 home
sometimes at night?"
And his answer is always the same: "No;
my neighbors will never trouble me; they
Ill owe me money

Jack.on.s Last Flank Movement

A confederate prisoner gave an &C.
count of Stonewall Jackson's admis.
sion into heaven as follows: ''They
were strong admirers of Gen. Jackson
and especially of the great success
of his flank movements. The day
after his DEATH said they, two an
gels came down from heaven to carry
Gen. Jackson back with them. They
searched all through the camp, but
could not find him. They went tothe
prayer meeting, to the hospital, and
to every other place where they
thought it likely they would find him
but in vain. Finally they were forced
to return without him. What was
their surprise to find that he had
just executed splendid flank move
ment and got into heaven before

DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY.
The Execution OF Timothy Webster,
Famous Union Spy, and His
Burial Place.

NO doubt many OF our reaQerS nave
read Allen Pinkerton's famous story,
"The Spy of the Rebellion" which was
published in installments in The Ma
tional Tribune, of Washington, D. c.,
and in which the bravery and heroism
of Timothy Webster is related.
Although the work has become ia
nous as one of the great war nara
tives,very few persons were aware I'M
til recently that the remains OF this
: brave man lie buried in the little ceme-
terry at Onarga, IS miles north OF this
city, says the Eastern Illinois Regis
ter, Paxton, III. On the little wealth
erbeaten headstone above his grave
are the words: ''rimothy Webster
I died for my country"
The Onarga Leader-Review, in speak
ing of the matter, has the following:
Timothy Webster was the great
Pinkerton detective, a NJ mber of Uncle
Sans secret corps, and his service to
his country is written in detail in one
of the Pinkerton's works, called 'The
Spy of the Rebellion His fearless
manner of going into the very heart
Of the enemy's camp, even into the
tents of generals and commanding Of
fcers, learning their plans, their
strength and their weakness, some
times as a peddler, then again as an
agent for some industry, always at
home in his DISCUSSES, proved him a
great man in his profession. The in
formation obtained by him saved hun
dreds Of lives and Thousands of dol
lars, and more than one battle was
won because of his work. After about
three years of the most imminent dan
ger and ALSO of the utmost value to
the nation, after many of the most
marvellous escapes from detection and
death, often in prison, he was finally
caught, convicted as spy, and on April
IA, 1862, was hanged by the confeder-
ates at Richmond, Va. His fate was
great blow to Line oln's secret serv-
ice, and was mourned by the north as
q dire calamity. Evenwhile under SEN
fences of death in confederate camp,
his name was whispered among the
people he had warred against with re-
spect and even with admiration. The
remains Of Timothy Webster, hero
and martyr, have. rested in their lit
tie narrow bed since May IS, 1871. They
were transferred from Richmond to
Chicago by Mr.. Pinkerton himself and
placed there in Mr.. Pinkerton's private
lot for men in his service, in Grace
land cemetery"
The story of the removal Of the re-
mains to Onarga isa long one, and one
in which a tragedy was almost enacted.

brother, James Robinson, living in On

arga, married daughter of Timothy
Webster, and as soon as he learned
that the body of his father-in-law was
buried in Chicago went to that city
to see Mr.. Pinkerton and obtain his
consent to remove it to Onarga. The
request was denied, but Mr.. Robin
son returned with a revolver and at
tempted to intimidate the great de-
tective. Pinkerton ordered him from
the room, and Robinson did not shoot.
Afterward Pinkerton called on Rob-
inson and granted the request.
There were two Timothy Websters,
father and son, and the remains are
buried side by side, but the fatherwas
the great "Spy of the Rebellion" The
wives of both of these men are still
living.

loose earth at the foot of the works.
remember that a confederate captain
was killed in trying to get the flag
while it was on top of the works, and
when the burial parties went out be-
tween the lines to look after the dead,
the adjutant of the Rock City guards
told me that he saw Col. Dan McCook
on top of the works, and said further
that officers and men were, amazed to
see him there and to hear him coolly
demand their surrender. For a minute
no one fired. Then came the fusillade
that fatally wounded the colonel.
When we reached the works, Maj.
Holmes and myself lay down against
the glacis face of the Notifications,
our heads close together, and our feet
wide apart, our bodies making let
ter "A or an inverted W Walters, of
company II, came up and lay down be-
tween us, his head near the majors
feet. We were watching the confeder-
ates on the opposite side of the works
and keeping them under cover. Maj.
Holmes spoke to Walters and told him
that he would be in less danger if he
came closer to the works, and ex-
planned that, located as he was. the
confederates could put their guns over
the breastworks and fire, whereas, if
they were on our. line, they would
have more difficulty in depressing their
rifles, and we could divert the shot
by striking the guns aside.
"Walters was watching for an op.
portunity to get in shot, and was so
eager that he rose to his knees, then
stood up. Before he could fire, how
ever, he was severely wounded on the
left side of the neck, the confederate
bullet missing the artery, but maxi
ing an ugly wound, which bled pro-
fusely. Before he was struck Walters
had been full of fight. After he was
struck he stood as one dazed, holding
his gun mechanically away from his
body. Then, as he saw the blood squirt
and run down his breast, he dropped
his gun, turned, and started on run
