AN HONEST STREAK.
Which Led a Man Charged with
Theft to Take Himself to
the CaIaboOse.

Humor makes it's appearance in queer
places, but one would hardly expect to find
it at the door of house of correction,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel An unfor-
tunate fellow was recently taken before
a justice of the peace in Milwaukee,
charged with stealing quantity of wood.
There was not much of defense to offer,
but an attorney who knew him volun-
teered to say a few words to the court
In his behalf.
The attorney began his talk, and, warm
ing MP to his subject as he proceeded,
finally succeeded in making good plea for
leniency. The justice, of course, found
the prisoner guilty, but let him off with
a sentence of 80 days in the house of cor
rection. When the commitment had, been
made out it was discovered that there was
no constable present, so the lawyer said
to the prisoner:
"John, you know where tie house ST
correction is, don't you?'
Eyes, sir"
"Well, here's five cents and this paper.
You take car and go out there and give
them this paper and they'll let you in.
Will you do it?"
''Surel"
And the funny part Of this story is that
John kept his word.

he had taken the oath not to aid the

however. that he would show him the
conveyance a Yankee deserter used in
getting across the river. Mr.. Hume
was glad to accept anything, but was
much surprised when the fellow
showed him coffin case. There was
nothing else to do but use it and Mr..
Hume got across the Potomac in this
case. He then went 40 miles into the
federal lines and learned of Burnside's
movement. He went to Washington,
his home, and spent two days. He was
anxious to get his information to the
commanding officer, and started again
across the Potomac.
Here again the scout wanted to get
a boat to cross and offered a fisherman
$3.50 for his boat. The fisherman re-
fused to let him have it. He then tried
to find the old coffin case and did so,
but it was of no service then. a farm
er had discovered it in the river and
made chicken coop of it. Thefederal
troops learned he was in the neighbor-
hood and he had to take to the swamps
for awhile. In desperation he de-
termined to make another effort to
cross the river. He learned that the
Yankees had all the boats piled in a
pyramid on the banks. During the

Man Hunting.

Man hunting was formerly a barbarous

under the single name of '|Hapgoods,"
with Offices in all of the larger cities of

to fill positions that they have open.
This corporation is not an employment

as they place men only with the largest

They report that it is surprising how
many positions for bright, active young
men they have open, and complain that
they are not able to obtain enough men
to fill these positions. They publish a

night the scout hid himself under a
cedar tree. Soon a party of soldiers
came along and the scout decided to
follow them, knowing that he would
learn how far the picket line was from
the boat. After getting this informa-
ton he returned to the boats and took
one from the top. He let the boat fall
and it sounded to him in his anxiety
like a cannon shot The Yankees did
not hear the noise, and he dropped into
the boat and rowed to the other
side.
The scout then walked to Port ROYAL.
He went through the Wilderness and,he
never saw such a scene in his life. he
said. The woods were burning and he
saw men lying on the ground with their
clothing burning and some of them
were still alive. He finally succeeded
in getting to the southern lines, and
entered them TO find Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
there. He then learned that during his
absence Gen. Stuart had been killed.
Gen. Lee told him to report to Gen.
Robert E. Lee. Cen. Lee had his head
quarters in a little church at Spottsyl-
vania courthouse. He made his report,
and then found his old regiment and
joined it. His regiment had been do
ing heavy fighting and had lost many
men. He was with Gen. Barksdale
when the latter was shot in the leg by

A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three
and half miles from Trenton, Mo-,
says: "A severe cold settled in my
kidneys and developed SO quickly that
I was obliged to lay off work on account
of the aching in my back and sides.
For a time was unable to walk at all,
and every malkeshift tried and all the
medicine l took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until l was unfit for anything.
Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised as a sure-cure fer just such
conditions and one day when in Tren-
ton she brought a box home from
Chas. A. Fosters drug store. I followed
the directions carefully when taking
them and | must say l was more than

notice the backache disappearing

Barksdale from that time until the
