Readiness In Excuse.

General Alexander Mcdowell Nc
Cook had a story illustrative of readi
ness in excuse which he used to tell oc,
casionally. Some raw troops were
drawn up for their first battle. They
were on marshy ground, under fire, and
ankle deep in slush. One of the sol
diers was noticed to be- trembling ex,
cessively, and his fear might communi
cate itself to his comrades. An officer
approached him.
Here, you, what are you trembling
for?" demanded the officer. "Stop it, or
you'll demoralize the company. You
are in no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid"
I'LL am not-t-t a-a-afraid," chatter,
ed the soldier. I'LL had the ague last
year, and-and standing still in this
m-m-mud so long has b-b-brought it on
aga-again. W-w-wouldn't it-t-t be q
g-g-good idea to r-r-run a lit-little and
get warmed up?'

General Grants Supreme Courage.

General Grants Supreme Courage.
General Grants courage was SUI
preme. No man could face danger-with
greater composure. He did not seem
to know the meaning of peril when
duty called him to risk his life. At one
time saw the general escape death by
a very slight margin. We were break
ing camp at Spottsylvania Court House
and under the fire Of a Confederate
battery. All Of the headquarters equi.
page had been removed except a camp
stool, and on this the general was sit.
ting, while the shells Of the enemy's
guns shrieked over our heads. A shell
passed just over the general, not miss:
ing him apparently by more than a.few
inches, and struck the ground about
thirty feet away. Without showing
the slightest nervousness he called tc
me to get the shell, saying, "Lets
see what kind of ammunition that bat.
terry is using" I went and picked up
the shell, which was siXpound spher'
ical case, and the general examined II
as cooIly as if there was not an enemys
gun within 100 mi les Of him.-National
Magazine.

THE BOY JOHN WESLEY.
Ne Evidence of Any PrecOciousness
In His Religious Development.


OF the nineteen children born to Sam
uel and Susanna Wesley only ten sur
wyed the period of infancy, and of
these, only three were sons. John was
thirteen years younger than Samuel
and six years older than Charles. Of
his early boyhood only one incident is
recorded. On February night in 100
the ,rectory was burned. The family
hurrying out in terror, left the boy
John sleeping in his attic chamber, and
he was taken out through window
oaly an instant before the blazing roof
fell in upon his bed. Wesley always
retained a vivid recollection Of t."
scene, and more than a half century
lster. when, thinking himself near
death, he composed his epitaph, he de-
scribes himself as "a brand plucked
from the burning"
His mother deemed his rescue q prov
identiai indication that her son was
preserved for some great work and re-
solved. as she says, ito be more partc
uiarly careful of the soul of this child
that Thou hast so mercifully provided
for There is, however, no evidence
Of anything precocious in the religious
development Of the boy, but only GER
tain staid. overdeliberateness which he
-, from his mother, but which to the
more mercurial temperament Of the ia
tAer'seemed in a lad not yet in his teens

The Point of View.

Two window washers were at work
on the lodges Of the sixteenth story
windows of a downtown Office building
about ten feet from each other. AS they
hung to their straps and washed and
polished the glass they could look into
the offices, where a number Of clerks
were bending over ledgers and books.
For a half hour they worked and
watched the clerks, who did not move
from their confined position over their
books. Finally one big window washer
leaned back as far as his strap would
permit and called to his fellow:

do for living "-Chicago Tribune.

observed by many wise men, and even

LYNCH LAW.

It May Have Taikeu IDS Name From I
Mayer Of Galway.
About the year 1900 one James FitZ-
stephens Lynch was mayor Of the town
Of Galway. in Ireland. He had sent his
son ON a trading expedition to Spain
with a good cargo and a large sum of
money. The younG man returned with
a ship load Of valuable commodities.
which he reported as having been pur.
chased with the money and with the
proceeds Of the outgoing cargo. After
some time a Spaniard came along, de-
manding payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had, been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor de-
clined payment. as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. Unfor-
tunately r. the latter. a sailor who
had been 9 ':f the crew on e1amina-

unworthy - . Lad spent in reckless

cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from Il large firm on credit, and
firm came down to the ship before sail

murdered the man and had him thrown

his father.
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father.
who, Notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted
rope around his neck, having first Sc
cured it inside, and then pushed the
young man out Of the window, where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants of the town Of Galway.
In the town records this entry is yet
to be seen:
"James Lynch, mayor Of Galway,
hanged his own son out of the window
for aefrauding and killing strangers,
without martial or common law, ITO
show a good example to posterity."
It may be from that incident that
lynch law took it's name. 1t is not Pc
culiar American institution, as is COM
monty supposed, but has been practiced
in other countries. The English had
walled town in Devonshire Of the name
Of Lydford, which became noted for
the summary punishments inflicted on
notorious offenders. ThaRebecame pro-
verbal in England as Lydford law,
and it is not impossible that lynch may
be corruption of Lydford. In Scotland
it was known as "Jedburgh justice"
James Lynch, justice Of the peace
in one Of the Piedmont counties in Vir-
ginia, whose methods were both sum-
mary and severe, is also credited with
having given his name to this offhand
and expeditions mode Of dealing with
criminals now generally known as
lynch law.-Pittsburg Gazette.
