marched away without his quilt or his
chickens, in a state of amazement oven
escaping so easily.
Gen. Geary carried black eye for
two or three days, but he had such an
appreciation of the pluck and skill Of
the man who had given it to him that
he bore no resentment. Some of his
staff officers were outraged at the in
dignity put upon a division general
and if their recommendations had been
acted upon the stealer of chickens
would have been severely dealt with.
But Geary's experience in Mexico, Cal
ifornia and Kansas influenced him to
take a more tolerant view, and so it
happened that Patrick H, the only
private in the army probably who ever
knocked brigadier general down, es-
capped all punishment, and lived to tell
the story to his children and grand
children"

PUNCHED THE GENERAL.
For"ging Irishman's Bold stand
Against His Interfering
Commander

"On the march to the sea-" said the
major, according to the Chicago Inter
Ocean, when the Twentieth army
corps was in the vicinity of Milledpe-
vile, Ca, and our division commander.
Gen. John w. 0eary, and our brigade
commander, Gen. George S. Greene,
were riding together, an incident oc-
Cured that both remembered for a
good many years. AS the two gem
erals, their staff officers and escorts
were passing house an alert Irishman
darted out of the front door with
three chickens strapped to his KNAPP
sack and many-colored patchwork
quilt thrown across his arm.
He was pursued by young but ma
tronly looking woman, bewailing the
loss of her silk quilt. Spying Gen.
Geary, the woman ran TO him and
asked his interference 10 save her
quilt. The general dismounted quick
ly. grabbed the Irishman by the shoul-
der, turned him about in a rough man.
ner. and said: Here, my man, return
that truck The Irishmnn dropped
the truck and said: If you were not
n general l would like to see you rob
me-
"Thereupon the general dropped his
dignity, made a rush for the Irishman,
the latter, TO the astonishment of all
the staff officers, unslinging his KNAPP
sack and peeling for a fight. In the
meantime the general was cutting him
as he would a schoolboy. He had no
| thought of resistance, when the Irish
man backed Off like a billygoat, made
run and jump, and delivered blow
squarely on the generals left Jaw.
Taken unawares, the general fell,
dragging his assailant down with him.
The latter, carried away by the spirit
of battle, was striking at the general
| after the manner Of trained pugilist
when the staff came to the rescue.
When all were on their feet, Gen. Geary
extended his hand to the pugilistic pri-
| waite and said. with a grim smile: I
guess you got the best of it.
THE Irishman replied: Faith, gen.
eral, honors are aisy, but think I
ought to have my quilt The general
told him to rejoin HIS regiment and
never be caught in any more scraps like
the one in which he had just been in
dulging. 1T is meself that will obey
ORDERS" said the Irishman, and he

JOHN A. LoGAN'S CONVERSION.
a New Chapter Added to the Gem
erals War Record, which Turned
out So Splcndidly.

The attitude of Gen. John A. Logan
in the exciting days Immediately fol-
lowing the first election OF Lincoln and
the outbreak of the civil war has been
the subject of a good deal of discus
sion, to which writer for the Illinois
State Register, of Springfield, Ill, has
just contributed an interesting chap
ter, says the New York Sun.
According to "Appleton's Encyclo-
pedia of American Biography" Gen.
Logan was from the first an ardent
supporter of Lincoln and the union.
II says:
"On the first intimation Of coming
trouble from the south he (Logan)
declared that in the event of the cleo
ton of Abraham Lincoln he would
shoulder his musket TO have him in
augurated."
Further on the encyclopedia says:
"In July, 1861, during the extra ses-
sion of congress called by President
Lincoln he Uogan) left his seat in

MAN--vAIN MAN.

He laughs at woman's soda-fountain
maitland keeps druggists busy hand
ing out cigars TO him.
He tells funny stories about how a
woman drives a horse and steers his
automobile up telegraph pole.
He picks flaws in the lectures of en-
inent scientists and discovers monu-
mental wisdom in the lispings of his
baby.
He loves to tell of the splendid ex-
ercise of saving woodruff he is will
ing to pay another man to enjoy the ex.
ercise.
He is not seeker after public honor
but he is always on hand an hour
ahead of time when he is one of 2OC
vice presidents at a political meeting

their oat sheaf bed when the sound
of cannon was heard and Gen. Nc
Clernand exclaimed:
My God, boys, IL is the beginning
of the tug-of-warl Get up and let us
hurry to the 'front.'
"They went without their breakfast
and were as hungry as bears, but still
anxious TO see the fight. They pushed
along until they began TO meet stray
glers coming toward them. running at
their best speed. They came thicker
and faster, and then they were met by
three men carrying muskets.
John "A. Logan jumped toward them
and asked:
What is the matter? Where and
what are you running for?'
Zone of the men replied: There's
a HI of fight and the rebels are Civ
ing us HI and we are trying TO get
out of their reach
John A. Logan then grabbed one
OF the muskets and exclaimed: There
is but one side to take in this fight.
and am going to take the union side.
With that his friends cheered him,
for he had been still finding fault with
the leaders of his own party for help
ing Lincoln and his party McCler-
nand at once said:
lie has been converted and CON
graduated him on his change of
front"
And this, according to the writer in
the Illinois State Register, is the true
history of how John A. Logan, for
once and for all, threw aside his south
ern sympathies and enlisted, heart and
soul, in the war for the union in which
he made so splendid a record as brave
| and loyal soldier.

A FEW FIRST THINGS.

Decimal fractions were first invent
ed at Nuremberg in 1896.
Movable scenery was first used in
Italy in the year 15os. It was the in
vention of an Italian architect named
Peruzzi.
Genoa, Venice, and the Papal States
were the first countries to establish ma
tional debts. That was in the fifteenth
century.
Champagne was invented about 24O
years ago by monk named Perignon,
at the Abbey of St, Peter, Hautvilliers,
in France.
The first mention Of shaving is at
Genesis xii, IA, where we read that Jo-
seph, on being summoned before the

The Cemetery Armies.

In 70 separate and distinct national
cemeteries the bodies of nearly SOC, 900
soldiers who died during the civil war
are inferred. Some of the cemeteries
contain each silent army of over
10000 soldiers, in serried ranks,
marked by the white headstones, on
nearly half of which is inscribed "Un-

congress that he might overtake the
troops that were marching out of
Washington TO meet the enemy, and
fought in the ranks of Col. Richard
sons regiment in the battle of Bull
Run"
With both these statements the
writer in the Illinois State Register
takes issue. Describing himself as a
warm friend and admirer of Gen. Lo-
gan, he AYERS that Logan did not sym
pathize with Lincoln at the start and
was not favorable to the cause of the
union when the war began.
He further says that while Logan's
patriotism was fired by the roar of the
Bull Run guns, the story that he left
his seat in congress 20 overtake and
fight in the ranks of the union army
at Bull Run is erroneous. He says:
THE history of Gen. John A. Logan
is family one, and the object of the
writer is to correct that history with
no intent or aim TO pluck from the
brow OF one of Americas bravest a
single laurel To which he is entitled or
to wrong his memory in the slightest
degree. But the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, as
the oath goes, is this:
John \. Logan was not favorable
to the union side when the civil war
commenced, ard those who claim that
he was not only do him but themselves
a great wrong,
"On the contrary, John A. Logan de-
bounced the war as id abolition
scheme to free the nigger,' and went
Sc far in his denunciation of the Lin
coin party, as he termed it, as to de-
nounce Douglas and many of his warm
est friends in Springfield and at his
home. On the train upon which Doug
las and his wife were going to Chicago,
he declared in the hearing of hundreds
of people:
douglas has sold out the demo
cratic party, but I'll be id if he can
deliver the goods
He was so enraged at Douglas he
would not go to Douglas room in the
American house in Springfield, al
though Douglas implored him by say
ing:
John, come up to my room and
let us talk this thing over
'Oh, talk the ID said Logan, I've
talked with you and been led by you,
until you have led the democratic par
ty into ruinl I'll be id if you lead
me any more!'
"He would not listen tc the speeches
made by Douglas at bloomington, Pom
tiac and Joliet at which last place
Logan got off the train and Douglas
went on to Chicago, where he died the
June following.
John a. Logan had been elected to
congress, as had old Col. Dick Rich
ardson, as everybody called him. Col.

tie of Bull Run made up party of six.
four to go in carriage and two on

They arrived near there on the even

MAILING FORD.

The town of North Haven has made up it's mind to improve the terrible con- dition of it's road between North Ha- ven and Wallingford, and has already started out and surveyed the same for the needed improvements. It is pro- posed to turnpike the sand road just below the Wallingford line and put a heavy coat of gravel for hardener on the road down to where 1t has already been hardened, near the old brick house.
 The appropriation for the state road will be divided. Onehalf will be used from Shady Corner toward Wallingford and the other will go south toward Montowese. This will be good neds to the many from up the section who have to drive to New Haven, and also to the owners of automobiles, who always strike snag when they get on to the sand road below the old Sawyer place
 Work on the bicycle path down North Haven way is progressing favorably, and quite a change for the better is seen from the two days work. A con- tribution of 20 cents from each of the bicyclists would keep the path in fine condition.
