MAKING ACHIEVEMENT.
a Little Known story About one
Who nOre BENEDICT ArnOld,a Name.

Touching on the treason of Benedict
Arnold there Is a little known story
which had for the scene of its action the
four years of the war Of secession. says
the Chicago Times Herald. In response
to the first call Of Abraham Lincoln for
troops a young man appeared at De-
troit recruiting Office and enlisted. He
went to the front and in the course Of six
months was made commissioned officer.
He was Of retiring disposition, always
courteous to his fellow officers and just to
his men, but he sought no close friend
ships. He was known throughout the
command as man whose devotion to
duty amounted to passion. He once
sought and secured a change Of command
in order to have more frequent hand in
the heavy fighting. He was wounded
three or four times and was so restlessly
anxious to get back to duty that the sur
geons found him hard patient.
This soldier rose to the rank Of major.
At the battle of Lookout Mountain he
was desperately wounded. He was in the
hospital for some months. Then conva-
lescence came and with convalescence the
FESTIVE desire to get to the front again.
He told the surgeon that he was fully
able to report for duty. The surgeon told
him that he was not and that he must
stay on the sick report for some time lon
ger. Then the major wrote letter TO his
colonel in the field and asked him il the
obeying Of the Doctors orders was COM
pulsory. The colonel, who knew his man,
wrote back that 1t was as much part of
soldiers duty TO obey the surgeon as It
was to obey a commanding officer who
ordered n charge on q breastworks in the
face of shrapncl. This satisfied the ma
jor, and he underwent the rest of his CON
finement in the hospital resignedly if not
cheerfully.
Finally the major went back to the
front. He was offered ut one time a colo
nelcy. He declined. He fought in every
battle of the later Richmond campaign
and was in at the end at Appomattox.
/ The major headed his battalion in the
great parade of the returning vctors I'D
Pennsylvania avenue. Then there came
the final mastering out OF the troops.
Less than month afterward the colonel
of fighting line regiment received a let
ter bearing n Toronto postmark. 1t was
from the major. 1t said in part: II serv-
ed all through the war under an assumed
name. | trust that I did my full duty. l
wish you now to know that did what I
did In order that l might in some little
way make atonement for the deed of one
of my family. Sir, l am n Canadian by
birth. and my name is John Benedict

IN A RUSSIAN BANK.
Some of the Frills Of Getting Money
on n Letter of Credit.

When I called at bank in Russia to
make draft against letter of credit,
/ was met at the door by a man in gor-
geous livery with a long staff in his hand.
He wore silk knee breeches silver buckles
on his shoes, a long scarlet coat vita sill
yer braid two inches wide the epaulctS
Of major general and big cooked hat.
He led me into a reception room which
was sumptuously furnished. 1t might
have Teen the library of a club. There
were fine oil paintings on the walls.
bronze and marble statuary, and the fur
niture was artistic and expensive. Upon
the center table were several volumes of
photographs. city directory, a railway
guide, the last report OF the bank, two or
three guidebooks and several morning pa
pers. Over in one of the corners was
handsomely carved writing desk furnish
ed with all sorts Of stationery.
While l was wondering what I was
there for, n gentleman of irreproachable
attire and manners entered and asked
how he could serve me. ! explained that
l would like $50 on my letter Of credit
and wondered how he knew l was an
American, but he had doubtless learned
from long experience to distinguish the
different nationalities. and / soon discov-
cred by the manner in which he received
subsequent arrivals that he could speak
German and French as fueutly as Lag
lish.
handed him my letter Of credit, and he
bowed politely and left the room. For q
time / was alone with my own thoughts.
/ looked over all the books and papers,
watched the traffic in the street from the
window. made two or three entries in my
notebook and wondered II the polite gen.
tleman had not forgotten all about me,
when a page in buttons entered with sill
yer tray. upon which were two drafts
duplicates-for my signature. The little
fellow bowed like French dancing mas
ter and seemed to be deeply impressed
with sense Of responsibility. lie came
in several times afterward on similar
service for other people, and his salutes
were repeated each time with an exact
ness that showed careful training.
! was afraid he was going to be gone
all day and became impatient. l sat down
at the desk to write letter and had
written nearly whole sheet when he
came back with my letter OF credit and
the money upon his tray. But the latter
WINS all In big bills. l handed him one of
them and asked him to get 1t changed.
He bowed again and disappeared. | must
have spent fifteen minutes regretting my
folly when the handsome manager came
In to inquire il there had been mistake.
He seemed to think l had been overpaid
and was greatly relieved when told him
! only wanted bill changed. He disap-
peared. and II was another ten minutes
before the boy returned with the smaller
bills. l had been in that room for more
than thres-quarters Of an hour.-Chicago
Herald.

LAUNDRY LINES.

Add few drops Of ammonia to the
bluing water to whiten the clothes.
II curtains are allowed to dry before
being starched, they will last clean quite
a month longer.
To clean black cashmere wash the
goods in hot suds containing a little bo-
rax. Rinse in very blue bluing water and
iron while damp.
Clothespins need washing occasionally
to keep them in good condition. 1t is a
good plan to put them in the copper after
the clothes have been taken out. After
they have had a good wash they should
be thoroughly rinsed in clean water.
Wooden goods when washed in soap
and water shrink and acquire the odor of
the soap. Therefore steep the articles in
warm solution of washing soda for
several hours and then, after the addition
of warm water and few drops of am
monia, wash and rinse in lukewarm water.
Starch for table linen is made by put
ting one tablespoonful OF dry starch into
two quarts Of boiling water after having
first dampened the starch with cold wa
ter. Let this boil for ten minutes, stirring
constantly and adding a little wax, lard
or butter. Fine. heavy damask table
linen does not require starch.

A JUDiCiOUS BEAR.
story Of . Young woman WITH q
stony Heart.


There was once a young woman who
was very beautiful. Likewise she was
very wicked and unkind. She III treated
her little brothers and sisters In most
outrageous manner and broke so many
noble hearts that fear to state how
many lest I should be disbelieved. One
day this wicked young woman was stroll
Ing In a deep and deadly forest. Sud-
denly she saw approaching at a rapid
gait big brown bear.
"Ha." calculated the bear, you are
my victim! Prepare for DEATH"
The young woman was much alarmed
TO hear the bear speak 30 unkindly, and
she began to beg for mercy. but It was Of
no avail. "Then," said the young wo-
man, "let me confess my sins before
die"
To this the bear consented, and she be-
gan to relate In trembling voice the
many dreadful deeds of which she was
guilty.

WHEN BESSIE COMES TO TOWN.
(By Frank J. McDonald)


When Bessie comes on market day,
With bonnet new, and gown.
watch her, wraptly, all the way,
A-tripping up and down.
Her dimpled cheek Is splashed with red
Her modest eyes cast down.
Alack for lassies city bred.
When Bessie comes to town!
With modest men she trips along
The busy market place,
Each eager tradesman of the throng
Stands glad to greet her grace.
Her sweet, low voice and kindly smile
Smoothes out each wrinkled frown:
The world is freed from artful guile,
When Bessie comes to town.
The sun shines brighter up above
When Bessie passes by.
AS If it caught a ray of love
From out her deep brown eye,
Each country lad she greets with glee,
Ny hearts sore trial to crown;
There's happiness and pain for me,
When Bessie comes to town.
The world is filed with joy and light;
NV heart from care is free.
And pleasant visions fill the night
When Bessie smiles on me.
But when she fails to notice me,
The world Is up-side-down
] must abide Ivy Fate's decree
When Bessie comes to town.
