heartily and sent out force of men
who attempted TO catch Mosby-but
didn't.
Col. Mosby and his men made more
narrow escapes than any other body of
men in the civil war on either side.
The colonel attributed this to his two
pet theories:
Always rely on the unexpected and
the navy six.
ut is better to make a good run
than bad stand"
With southerners, brought up on
Scott's novels and Caesars Commen-
taries, the saber was a favorite wea pon
at the outset of the war. Mosby soon
discovered that the revolver was ten
times more deadly at close range fight
ing than the saber or the bayonet.
Several times when he was entirely
surrounded by much larger forces
than his own he fought his way out in
this manner. A special force under
Maj. Gen. Stahl once sent to capture
him surrounded him in barn near
Fairfax Courthouse, Va. Col Mosby
awoke at daybreak to find n squad of
six times his own encircling the barn.
He threw the baEnyard gate open ard
advanced on foot at the head of his
men. He relied on ''the unexpected and
the navy six"
Maj. Gen. Stahl's men used sabers,
and were instantly routed.
Afterward, when Stahl's force was
accused of cowardice, Col. Mosby him
self spoke in praise of their bravery.
Their sabers," he said, "were, against
revolvers, as the wooden swords OF
harlequins."

"Sick, sir, but l guess he'll be out
again soon"
"Buy him something good with
this" the kindly congressman said,
and pressed some change into her
hand.
"Thanll you, sir; I'll tell Bonnie,
and when he's we'll he'll thank you

rupted by senate page with ter
rible appetite, who wanted two chick
en- sandwiches in n hurry.
Soon the clerks from the different
departments began to pass by on
their way home to dinner. Some of
them stopped to buy n sandwich from
Madge and then passed on, talking
and laughing.
"Well, little Madge, where's that
brother of yours to-day? 1t seems
strange to see you here without
him." tall newspaper correspondent
said as he picked out large apple.
"Bennie's not well, and so |
thought I'd come alone. l knew I'd
get along all right, and so l have, !"
she proudly said.
For the next half hour she was kept
busy, as all the clerks and messengers
needed waiting on. Then there came
little rest and Madge looked up and
down the long avenue.
AS she looked up a second time she
caught sight of tall form coming
her way. Madge knew it well, for no

"Where does she live?" he asked, and
man standing at his side, with
Madge's basket in his hand, volun-
teered to show the way to her home.
Lincoln could have called an ambu-
lance or sent her home in carriage,
but that was not this great mans way.
Where help was needed he gave it him
self, and so it was that those who were
on Pennsylvania avenue that Lincoln's
birthday saw the president pass along
with a little injured girl in his arms.
A short walk and they reached the
house, where Madge's father, steady
ing himself on crutches, met them at
the door.
"Your little girl has been injured;
show me a bed and I'll place her on
it," Lincoln said.
A doctor was called and soon Madge
opened her eyes and said:
Papa, the president"
"Yes, dear, the president is here and
only waits to know you're all right,
before leaving"
Lincoln bent over the bed and plac-
ing one arm around little Madge said:
won you give the president KISS
before he goes?"
Madge raised her head and lincoln,
lover of all children. kissed her and
said: "Good-by, little one, I shall look
for you when I pass down Pennsyl-
vania avenue again"
Many times after Madge was we'll
the president passed and gave her a
pleasant greeting. Then came the
night of the 18th of April, when the
news spread like wi.dfire that Lincoln
had been shot, and when the story Of
his death was told the next morning

and one little heart was full of sad

He was old and weather-beaten, his

the battle, and they are more vivid to
me, who saw them, than to those who
read of them, and yet my idea of that
battle, or the idea of any man who par
ticipa ted in it, is entirely different from
the idea of one who reads even the
finest description of it,
Our division was as actively en-
gagged on the first day of the battle as
any other, but the hard fighting came
at intervals, and at night there was
comparative peace for us. although it
was very hard for us to keep warm.
On the second Gay of the battle our
part of the line was comparatively
quiet, and yet we were all the time ex-
pectant and alert. This does not mean
that we were depressed or nervous or
ourdened. On the contrary, the boys

escaped from farm near and came
dashing toward us like frightened buff

movements in our front sent some
hogs scurrying to us in wild panic.
The boys dropped all thought of fight
ing for the time being, and, regard

front TO capture the hogs.
There was n wild frolic and a long
chase. but in the end three of the COM
panies had fresh pork for supper, and
sent some choice bits over to the other
companies, with an intimation that
when the latter butchered a return
of the favor would be expected. That
night the pressure of battle was
scarcely noticeable in our division. We
had reformed our line, had strength

that we could repel any sudden attack.
Under this feeling the men were al

LINCOLN'S CHARACTER.
subtnntinI Elements Which brought
Him Success-IIis Career Ever
Memorable.

Singularly enough, it was not the
brilliant qualities of his mind that
brought Abraham Lincoln his high
fame. Rather it was the solid, SUBJ
stantial elements in his character that
made his success-elements which in
times of great crises serve a purpose
which not the forensic ability and elo-
quence of the great eXpounder of the
constitution, nor the resistless, pitt
less logic of Calhoun, nor the impas-
stoned deliverances of Clay, could
achieve, says a writer in Christian
Work. Mr.. Lincoln's career is ever
memorable because by his plain, hard
sense, which enabled him to do precise
ly the right thing at the right time,
he succeeded where more brilliant men.
having less self-possession, failed.
And then, he won the hearts of those
whom he called "the plain people,"
who, if we may class them as such
as why should we not?-formed, as
they still form, the great majority and
the strength of the nation. Even the
fact of the first nomination to the
presidency, which comes to most as
| SuTpTlScI dS an event rarely an llCl-
pated, was not fortuitous event-it
was no hapha2ard affair. Unknown to
the east, Lincoln was not unknown
to the great central and farther west;
he was indeed the man of the time, al
though nearly every Wall street
broker and banker and the managers
of great moneyed enterprises walked
the st:eets, or gave orders from their
offices, and saw their bank balances
'swelling in those eventful June days in
1860, all oblivious of the fact that a
great man was living in western
town who, pass four short years,
should guide n strong nation safely
through the perils of civil war and
bring 1t to the port of peace, while
ne should receive from fame the gift
OF deathless renown. Such IS the
picture the recurrence of Lincoln's
birthday brings to us, and such the
inspiring example which that picture
presents for every right-minded, rights
ambitioned young American.

hero of Kandahar in time to cut a
big figure at the coronation. The
late Queen Victoria could see no
reason why the army should not re-
main in the family, and was most
anxious that the duke of Connaught

came necessary, she contented her.
self with the thought that at last her
son could succeed Lord Wolseley. But
Lord Roberts capture of Cronie, and
the resulting wave of popular en-
thusiasm, and the equally strong con-
viction that the war office must be
reformed again, defeated the queens
wishes, and Lord Roberts was made
commander-in-chie
But the abrupt removal of Gen. Bull
Ter by Lord Roberts caused a revo-
luton in feeling, and for the first
time in his life the beloved "Bobs"
heard Kisses mingled with the cheers
sent up in his honor whenever he APP
peared in public.
That was a bitter experience for a
man so fond of popularity, and is
said to be one of the causes of his
intention TO resign. Another is his
discovery that he is quite unable to
cut the red tape that is bound so
tightly around the war Office by its
civilian force.
And so at last the duke of Con-
naught is to have his long-looked-for
chance. He is a clever, kindly and
popular man, who has the reputation
of being a really good soldier, quite
aside from his royal prestige. Then,
beside, it would be quite beneath his
dignity to go pottering about with re-
forms in the war Office.
Things could go on peaceably in
the good old way, and the secretary
of war could manage matters in any
way he chose, without interference
from the military end of the office.
The dukes personal popularity is
thought to be great enough to over
come any popular feeling that more
brilliant, energetic and forceful man
should be placed at the head of the
army,

MosBY AS A SCOUT.
Dnshing Ways of the Old Confederate
Leader when Out on One
of His Fornys.

Col. John S. Mosby, ex-confederate
cavalry leader, was lately appointed
special agent of the United States land
office. The appointment was made at
the special request of President Nc
Kinley.
Previous to this the doughty old
colonel's experience with presidents
was confined to a famous episode of
the civil war. There was price on
Mosby's head. He was one of the most
daring of confederate officers, and the
general sen ntiment was that he must be
captured-or killed, says an eastern
exchange.
Col. Mosby was doing scout duty
near Westinghouse close that he
could see the dome of the capitol. He
met an old woman going to market.
Here, my good woman" he said in
his grandiloquent sonorous fashion.
"take this lock of my hair and present
it as souvenir to the gentleman that
lives in the white house. Tell him L
hope soon to have lock of his in re-
turn"
President Lincoln received the lock-
of hair and the message. He laughed
