"On the night of September 10 we

A Lee In Blue!

When Gen. Fitzhugh Lee went home
after the war with Spain and the evacu-
alton of Havana he made calls on his
,neighbors, as a matter of course, and
was received with marked coldness by
the old chap who had served under him
during the rebellion. Lee tried his best
to warm the old friend and neighbor up,
and finally felt impelled to inquire what
the matter was.
General, l allow as how we've al
ways been friends?" asked the veteran,
in return.
"Y-e-s, we have" replied Lee; "and
there's nothing in the world would not
do for you"
well, there's just one thing l allow
you can do for me, and that is to send
me word half an hour afore you're ready
to die, so that may make haste to shut
fie off ahead of YOU"
why" asked Lee, his amazement in
creasing, what under heaven is your
reason for wanting to die before me?"
I'm mighty anxious" was the reply
"to hear what In the h Gen. Ju-bal

The old mans droning voice ceased.
His language was but mongrel coll
lection of poor English and native pc
culiarities, but the sensitive boy saw
the little tragedy in all its glaring mis-
cry. He bowed his head on the piazza
railing, and unheeded, the crushed
morning glory leaf dropped to the
ground.
Late that night, after he had looked
into the face of his fathers friead and
read the loneliness of a suffering heart
as revealed in the mans eyes, the boy
wrote his letter to Pollard.

chant in Helena who had been doing a
deal of smuggling and had been keeping
pretty we'll up with hina. Here was my
chance. l told him he could sell some
goods down below town if he could get
out of Helena with them and offered to
help him do it. He had a large yawl
which he had pressed into service before
and it did not take me a great length of
time to convince him that we could use
this yawl to advantage. He fell right
into the plan.
"One night we loaded the boat down
with an assorted cargo, clothing, food
and other things which the merchant had
in stock. At that time you couldn't hard
ly get away from the soldiers. but we
managed to get out into the river without
making much noise. 1t was very dark
night When we had reached the cur
rent of the stream suggested to the mer-
chant that we lay down in tie boat until
we had drifted below the city. We al
lowed the current to drive us several
miles below the city-in fact, as far down
as 1 wanted to go. for knew exactly
where the confederate soldiers were
camped. We pulled into small bayou
and started to tie up.
Suddenly a squad of men swooped
down on us and placed us under arrest.
Then they began to unload the boat. The
merchant did not seem to care so much
about the $4,000 worth of goods he had in
the yawl and which the soldiers had con-
.iscated. He told me we were in great
danger of being shot, but consoled him
by saying l would fix up scheme to es-
cape.
THAT night squad was named to
watch us until daylight. About three a.
m. nudged the merchant and told him
the soldiers were sound asleep and we
could now get away. At first he was
afraid of being shot, but persuaded him
that it was safe and we skeedaddled.
never saw man run so in my life and
was so tickled all the while that / could
scarcely keep from letting the cat out
of the bag. Up to this day that fellow
feels that he owes his life very largely to
me, when l had deliberately laid the
scheme to rob him of boat load of goods
for the benefit of the confederacy, and I
have often debated the moral aspect of
the question in my own mind. But sup
pose all things are fair in war. Besides
the motive was to help the suffering con-
federate soldiers and not to hurt and
harm the merchant"

Positions for sharpahooting.

Standing, kneeling, sitting and lying
down are the four positions prescribed
for firing by the army regulations.
The lying position alone is prescribed
for the 800 and 1,0O0-yard ranges,
while at all other ranges up to 200
yards the lying and sitting positions
are used. At 100 and 200 yards the
sitting and standing positions are pre-
scribed, Wherever the sitting position
is prescribed the kneeling may be sub
stituted, but for the majority of per-
sons the sitting is by far the better
position of the two.

GRAY HAIR AND x.RAY.
Another Sensational Claim Made for
tho Miracle LIght-ImprObabilit of
|

Another Sensational Claim Made for
tho Miracle LIght-ImprObabilit of
Hts Success.
The X-ray seems destined in many
ways to pay the penalty of all sorts
of sensational reports as to its sup
posed efficacy in treating intractable
diseases. AS might have been eN-
pected, it's claims have been very
much exaggerated, even in cases that
offered plausible excuses for their
possible vindication.
The latest news is to the effect
that this mysterious agency is capa-
BILE of restoring gray hair to its orig
inal color. How such an effect can
be brought about no one attempts
to explain. Nor would it be wise to
offer any reason for il, says the New
York Herald, in the face of certain
well-known facts connected with the
physiology of hair and it's anatomi-
cal character.
All very we'll know that the color
of the hair is a part of its nutrition
and is dependent upon the secretion
of pigment in certain cells in its
substance. When the hair loses its
pigment vitality grayness ensues as
a natural evolutionary process. The
youthful tinge disappears by COM
mon law of progressive decay as age
advances. The hair itself becomes
virtually color dead, and all efforts
to restore it's former life are admit
tedly as futile as similar efforts to
revivify other defunct processes.
But now the N-ray must come in
as an alleged miracle worker and
give new hopes for the gray heads.
Alas! many of the latter are desper-
ate enough in their vanity to try any
new thing that may present itself.
To such it may be necessary to
sound a note of warning.
Even if it should prove to be fact
that the N-ray can do what is claim
ed, the remedy is certainly a danger
Gus one to become popular. If ''sev-
eral hundred exposures" are required,
not only will a great deal of valuable
time be lost in the sittings and many
fees eXacted, but the positive dam
ages ensuing after such prolonged
treatment are not to be lightly con-
sidered. How to avoid the terrible
N-ray burns, which sometimes occur
even with experts is still great prob
lem. Edison, in recent interview in
the Herald, emphasized this fact in
n manner not to be misunderstood.
Thus there may be chance, with
such as may be determined to try
the new thing. for the traditional "old
fool" to multiply himself over the
land.

ARMOUR AND WHEAT
ANOTHER DAY OF MANIpULA-

Opening Prices Strong and Shorts Buy
Actively - temporary Reaction Fol-
lowed by a Steady Rise-Corn and
Oats Go the Other Way.

CHICAGO, April 9.-The wheat mar
ket experienced another day of manip-
ulation and prices had a strong up
ward movement, May closing 1 1-Sc
higher. May corn was off 1-2@5-Sc,
and oats were down 5-S@3-4c. Pro-
visions were easy. the May products
closing unchanged to 15c lower.
The Armour buying was again the
factor in the wheat pit and consider
able excitement was NANTES ted
thrOugout the session. Shorts were ac-

the higher cables and opening prices
We're strong, May being a shade to IA

Under firm demand the market
quickly advanced to IS 3-4@I5 T-Sc.
when realizing sales caused a decline
to IS 3-S@75 1-2c The reaction was
only temporary, however, for with a
good demand from the Armour people,
with plenty of local followers, prices
started In an upward direction and the
advance was steady throughout the
day. There was a slight reaction near
the close, but final figures on May were
L 1-Sc higher at IS 1-4076 3-Sc, after
selling up to IS 7-Sc. July ruled strong
and closed 5Sc higher at II 7-S@72c,

Clearances of wheat and flour were
$4,000 blu. Primary receipts were 35S,-

Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of 1873 cars, which, with local re-
celpts OF Al cars. none of contract

Dizziness in Corn.
Trading in corn was dull and after a

strength in wheat the market developed
weakness, due to a considerable selling
pressure stimulated by the favorable
weather conditions. The selling was
led by prominent provision interest
who had been bulling the market for
some time, and the abandonment of his
position caused a number of smaller
holders to do the same thing. The close
was weak, with May 1-2@5-Sc lower at
AZ 5-8@42 3-4c, after selling between
AZ 1-2@42 5-Sc and 43 S-Sc. Local RI
ce1pts were 175 cars, with none of con-
tract grade.
Oats suffered a sharp decline under
the influence of ideal weather for seed
