a volley to place the muzzle OF
his rife against the temple OF
the prisoner and blow out his
brains.
CATER Tip had consented, the
officer of the guard permitted us
to play cards with the prisoner.
He had a roll Of bills, and we
were soon in a stiff poker game.
Two guards. including myself,
my brother Tip and Thompson,
composed the quartet. We
played until gray daylight, and
Thompson skinned the party of
every dollar. He had pheno-
menal luck and watched the
game closely.
In the afternoon he was to
die, and about noon he asked to
see the lieutenant of the firing
squad. Handing the officer $500
he asked him to divide it equal
ly among the men detailed to
shoot him.
1.-The division was drawn up
and formed three sides of a
square, the fourth side being
open, where the grave Of Thomp-
son was freshly dug. The band
played the march in Saul, and
Thompson, at the head of the
firing squad, marched around
the three sides Of the square,
with the coffin in which he was
to be inclosed carried Immediate
ly behind him. Reaching the
open space, the coffin was set
down. Thompson seated him
self on the end of it,, facing the
firing squad, about twelve PAGES
distant. The death warrant
was read, and the chaplain tied
his handkerchief over the pris
oner's eyes. I watched Thomp-
son, curious to note if he would
hear the report OF the muskets
that killed him. Presently I
heard the lieutenant's low voice:
Ready! Aim! Fire!'
In the next instant Thomp.
son toppled back into his coffin a
dead man. The report of the
muskets he never heard, as l
saw him swiftly fall over before
l heard the guns crack, and so I
settled this disputed point to
my own satisfaction, and to that
extent the execution of Thomp-
son interested me and no more"

MuSBY'S GUERRILLA DAYS.
Tie Old Man Tells Of His Exploits Near
Washington In War Times.

John S. Mosby, well-known as
the commander of a guerrilla
band in the service of the Con-
federacy during the war Of the
States, who is now a special en-
ployee of the department of the
interior, showed a willingness to
talk about his wartime expert
ences to a reporter a day or two
ago. The latter inquired into
the truth of a story that he had
entered Alexandria in disguise
and had engaged in some dare
devil tricks.
"Oh, that story is all non
sense" said Col. Mosby, Il new
er went to a place in disguise in
my life" These stories arose
because Of the rapid movements
Of my command. Why, there is
an official telegram on file in the
war department stating that I
was in Washington in conference
with Wilkes Booth on the night
of the killing of President Lin
coin. It is needless to say that
the statement was known to be
false by most Of the Federal
generals.
eyes, I frequently got close
to Washington during the war.
Many a time l would ride up to
the hill up yonder across the
Potomac and look down upon
the city. I might have one or
two men with me, and we would
soon disappear. Just over on
the Virginia side early one morn
ing met a Mrs. Barlow on her
way into Washington with a
wagon full of vegetables. Her
husband was a Federal soldier
and she was a northern woman.
She had pass to go in and out
of Washington, and drove into
the city often from her farm. I
used to go to her house often
and get a cup of good coffee. Of
course, she gave it to US, know
ing that We rather had charge of
things all along on that side of
the river. Well, on this par
ticular morning, Mrs. Barlow
had pair of scissors hanging
from her apron. After I had
talked with her awhile I said:
"'Mrs. Barlow, lend me your
scissors.'
"She handed them to me, and
I reached up to my head, got
hold of a bunch of hair, cut it of
and said: Mrs. Barlow, please
take this lock Of hair right into
Lincoln, and say to him that I
am coming in to see him soon,
and will expect q lock of his hair
in return She looked much
puzzled, but she said she would
do it.
Il found out afterward lat
she rode straight to the W lite
House and gave the hair to the
president personally, refusing
to give it to any one else. The
president was amused and laugh
ed heartily. No, I was not
afraid to do this, because I knew
that by the time the president
could attempt to catch me,

Old Damascus Bibles.

There is an old tradition that
the so-called treasure dome of
Jami el Kebir mosque in Dam
ascus contained a number Of val
liable manuscripts relating chief
ly to early Christian times. Al
ter years Of persuasion, says a
Vienna correspondent of the
Paris Messenger, the sultan was
induced to allow the opening of
the dome, which had remained
closed and carefully guarded for
centuries, experts having assur-
ed him that there we're no docu-
ments in the collection affecting
the Mohammedan religion. The
manuscripts discovered in the
dome were sent to Constantine
pie, where it was found that they
included a number of fragments
of the Old and New testaments
in the ancient Syrian language
and characters. together with
fragments Of a translator Of the
Old and New Testaments in the
dialect ofSyro- Among
the latter was found a transla-
ton of St. Paul's Epistle INTO a
dialect which was spoken at the
time of Christ. There were also
fragments of the Pentateuch in
the Samaritan language, a trans
lation of Psalm xvii, in Arabic,
but written in Greek characters,
dating from the eleventh cen
tury. 1t is now reported from
Constantinople that the manu-
have been handed over
by the Turkish foreign ministry
to Baron Marchall, the German
ambassador, by order Of the sui
tan, for a more thorough scruti-

exhortation to arouse people to
an appreciation of their duty
and hold them to rigid perfor-

precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line; line upon line;
here a little; there little. .
Such was Isaiah's idea of in
structing the people on their
moral and religious duties. The
same plan holds good in the bus
mess world. Patience, earnest
ness, kindness, sympathy will
accomplish much more in field,
or factory than the stern and
heartless orders and commands
of the master. It is the repeat

the performance of everyday

Not only in view of his personal pre-

matter in which example may be IL

deemed total abstinence the only safe
course. An instance illustrating this
that occurred thirty years ago impress

TIE STATE DISPENSARY.
Sam Jones Writes of South Cardinals Gin
Eiill and It's Liquor.

The biggest thing in South
Carolina is the dispensary. Ben
Tillman and the devil saddled
the thing on South Carolina and
the politicians and the devil are
running it with the aid of fools
and rascals who buy the liquor.
Whiskey is sold from the dis
pensary from sun up till sun
down and the price ranges from
10 cents for half pint bottle to
s1.OO for pint bottle, from pop
skull to ':good licker" Drum
mers and ''gentlemen" buy the
"good licker," and negroes and
poor whites buy the 10 cents a
pint stuff. All the dispensaries
of the State are furnished their
liquor from the Columbia whole
sale shop. The State takes its
profits at headquarters before
the town and county dispensa
ries get hold OF 1t. Then the
town and county divide the
profits equally. And the work
of misunderstanding goes steadi-
ly on. I find in mingling with
the people 4 mean the good
people, for I go with no other
sort, they are all opposed to the
dispensary. They say it's bet
ter than the saloon. Just as
they prefer measles to smallpox.
They say it's death to morals
and manhood, whether it's furn-
ished by saloon, blind tiger or
dispensary.

ssIt is a curious fact" said a
member Of a company a, Third

toned to see hundreds slain in

liarly sensitive and alive to the
solemn parade and formalities
of a military execution.
s'In our regiment we had a
private soldier sentenced to be
Shot for deserving 70 the enemy:
His name was Thompson, and
he belonged to company K.
This man Thompson had deser-
ted off vedette post one night
and some two months afterward
came into our lines, where mem
bers of his own company hap
pened to be on picket duty.
Thompson did not calculate on
this. His idea in coming in was
to surrender as a Confederate
soldier and be sent north. 1t
happened near to the Weldon
railroad, where our division Of
the Ninth corps was then posted.
Of course, on being recognized,
he was taken to headquarters,
and court martial was immed-
lately convened. It leaked out
somehow that Thompson was
not the humble soldier he seem
ed, but a Confederate officer and
spy. He had been an officer in
the United States navy before
the war. He resigned and went
south, where he secured the
commission of colonel of infant
ry.
being a Marylander of fami-
ly, efforts were made to save
his life. but in a quiet way, as
his relatives feared to disclose
his real Identity for fear he
would be hanged as a spy in
stead of shot as a deserter.
Friday, the day set for execu-
ton in the army Of the Potomac,
came around too soon for Thomp-
son and his relatives. The night
previous he had been informed
that all efforts had failed at
Washington. I was on guard
duty over him, and my brother
was one of the detail of twelve
men selected as firing squad.
My brother didn't like the job,
and came to the tent where I
was on guard to consult with me
how to get out Of it. Thompson
overheard our conversation, and
knowing my brother by name,
he broke in: Say, Tip, you
must not back out. I want you
in the squad, as I know you are
a dead shot, ard viii save me
from the sergeant
