token of Joy. Her grandniece, Miss
Julia Hanshaw-now Mrs. John Alb
bott-and a young Miss YoDer were
standing by the old lady's side. The
presence Of the union forces and the
inspiring music caused the patriotic
old lady TO request Miss Yoner to go
into an adjoining room and get the
flag from the Bible. This was done,
and soon the Stars and Stripes were
floating from the window. The en-
thusiasm and patriotism of Mrs.
Frietehie caused the union soldiers to
cheer Justify. The gallant Gen. Reno
went into the house and congrstu-

her for the flag which she had waved.
Mrs. Frietchie did not give the gen

Gen. Reno waved the flag and pro-
posed three cheers, which were
given with a will. Gen. Reno was
killed next day at the battle Of South

tackled a bueking steer he has not
realized all the possibilities Of the

down in Texas, where the animals
are wild enough to suit even the
most exacting cowpuneher, and 1t Is
now being introduced farther north.
