WHAT CAV BE DONE.

Fortunately the new woman is usual
ly much better than the old man, but
a Kansas incident shows what can be
done. In Butler county lives a widow
with her daughter and son. Across the
line in Oklahoma lives a thrifty Ger
man on his farm. Recently the widow
went to the German and bought his
bunch of cattle. The German drove
them to the Widows place. The widow
sent her son to town to get the pur-
chase money from the bank--at least
she told the German so. The son re-
turned and said the bank was closed
for the day. The widow told the Ger
man that he must stay over until the
morrow. He consented readily. Dur
ing the evening the widow proposed to
the German that he divorce his wife
and marry her daughter. He said he
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1903-11-27

was entirely satisfied with the frau
down on the farm and rejected the pro-
posal. The naxt morning the son went
to town again. but came hurrying back
with the story that a man from the
territory was getting out writ of at
tachment for the cattle on the claim
that the German owed him. The Ger
man denied that he owed anybody, but
consented to execute a bill Of sale for
the cattle on the representation that
it would stop the trouble. Then, with
the bill of sale in her possession, the
widow drove the German off the prem
ises. And now he is working with the
lawyers to see if they can cireumvent
the gay deceiver and get his cattle
back.
This is a little sharp. but it may be
said that not even a sharp man could
do a more complete trick.

SUFFERING PEASAN Ts.

A correspondent of the London Times
gives vivid account of the restitution
prevailing in the vilayets of Salonica
and Monastir. The peasants. he says,
have been reduced to the verge of star
walton, and it is difficult to see how
they are to survive the winter. What
little they save from avaricious land
lords is extorted by Turkish officials on
the one hand and bs patriot bands on
the other. The former demand money,
the latter food. AS proof Of the utter
restitution of the Turkish troops, he
tells how a band of Bulgarian revolu-
tionists not long ago was permitted to
cross the frontier by night on payment
of a small fee to the Turkish guard,
and had it not been for the presence Of
an officer permission on similar terms
would have been granted for passage
by day. Recruits who arrived recently
from Smyrna few days ago were quite
unfit to take the field, and a collection
was made to supply them with the nee
essary clothing. The correspondent
says that the vengeance melted out by
the Turkish troops to the Monastir rev.
olutionists has considerably damped
the ardor of the Christians in that dis
triot, with the result that they have
refused to take part in general rising
until such time as the Bulgarian regu-
lars shall have crossed the frontier.
Reports from Monastir give a deplora-
BILE account of the state of the refugees,
and large subscriptions will be neces-
sary in order to alleviate the suffering
which exists. The Relief Committee is
distributing food, but there is a very
pressing need for doctors, and unless
medical and other aid is forthcoming
quickly many hundreds Of starving and
sickly wretches will perish.

A WORN OUT SPIRIT.
An old Man. Disillusioned and Cynicf

An old Man. Disillusioned and Cynical,
Summaries Long Life in Brief.
I am reminded that the writing on a
sheet of paper left by an aged man,
who recently died, supposed to be his
original personal statement, is taken
from the Memoirs of Count Rostop-
chin" or Rostopchine. The celebrated
Russian nobleman was the power be-
hind the throne Of Emperor aul. and
afterward gained much influence over
Alexander. who appointed him govern
or Of Moscow. He it was who, accord
ing to French writer's, planned and be-
gan with his own hand the burning of
that city. He Indignantly denied it
but later confessed his share in the in
cendiarism, the first house burned be-
ing his own palace by himself.
Each paragraph of his memoirs was
a chapter. Here are some chapters:
My birth-On the 18th day Of March,
1855, emerged from darkness into the
light of day. was measured, was
weighed, I was baptized. I was born
without knowing wherefore, and my
parents thanked heaven, without know
ing for what. a5s, ..... ... ~
My education-zI was taught all sorts
Of things, and learned all kinds Of Ian
guages. Bv dint Of impudence and
cuackery sometimes passed for a
savant. My head has become libra
ry of odd volumes, of which / keep the
key. ~.
NV sucerings-I was tormented by
masters: by tailors who made tight
dresses for me: by women, by ambf-
ton, by self-love, by useless regrets,
and by remsmbrances.
Memorable epochs-At the age of 80
I gave I'D dancing: at 40, my endeav-
ors to please the fair sex, at so, my re-
gard of public opinion; at go, the trou-
BILE of thinking; and I have now become
a true sage, or an egotist--which is
the same thing.
Respectable principles-I have never
meddled in any marriages or scandal,
have never recommended a cook or
a physician; and consequently have
never attempted the life of any one.
NV dislikes-I have a dislike to sots
and fops, and to the intriguing won1-
en-, who make a game of virtue; dis
gust for affectation: pity for made-up
men and painted women; an aversion
to rats, liquors. metaphysics, and rhu-
barb: and a terror OF justice and wild
beasts.
Analysis Of my life-I await death
without fear and without impotence.
NY life has been bad meIodrama on
grand stage, where have played the
hero. the tyrant, the lover, the noble
man. but never the valet.
My epitaph-Here lies, in hope of re-
pose, an old deceased man, with a
worn-out spirit. an exhausted heart
and a used-up body. Ladies' and gen
tlemen pass on!--New York Press.

tigation he discovered that where the
British flags were displayed the build
inss were stored full of cotton, and he
at once ordered it to be seized. Then he
returned to his headquarters and lit
tie later pompous fellow rushed in in
great haste and impeTiousiy demanded
that his card be sent in to General
Sherman. Il am he,'' responded the
general. The visitor inflated himself
and then angrily charged that the
Yankee troops were removing his cot

ed by the British flag.
Stop, sir; not you cotton, seized in

great many buildings over which the
British flags were flying were filled
with cotton, and I have it all in the

But, SIR said the naughty visitor,
there is scarcely any cotton in Savan-
nah that does not belong to me-"
There is not a pound of cotton in

me, for the United States Government, :"
said the general.

you will be held responsible"

ANECDOTES OF SHERMAN.
Young Woman's Tribute to His Military
Genius

Young Woman's Tribute to His Military
Genius.
At an informal dinner of about
dozen Grand Army comrades, the other
evening, one who had served as captain
under General Sherman, In the Civil
War, remarked that he had read with
much interest the incidents of Sherman
at Shiloh published In The Tribune last
week. And then the conversation took
het course of "reminiscences of sherman's
March Through Georgia." One of the
veterans related a story in this way:
Everybody who served under Sher-
man as a commander must give him
credit for his ttrategy in thanking
their strong positions. Even a young
woman of Georgia could not help OBJ
serving his military genius. and her
remarks were amusing, to say the least.
She told how Sherman's army down
through her country, and how he de-
taehed his commander to do certain
things. I think 1 can recall her Ian
guage, which was about like this. 1t
wasn't fair for Sherman to fight the
Southern soldiers on end. Now, 1t was
right smart Of General Bragg to form
two streaks Of fight in our dooryard'
with walking soldiers. and then he got
General Joe Wheeler to line up one
streak of fight with critter soldiers
(meaning cavalry behind the house.
just as our side was ready to whip the
Yankees Sherman sent Joe Hooker
up and he f1anked Bragg and made him
fall back which he did in such hurry
that he upset dads ash hopper plant,
which cost ESQ in Atlanta, and dad
vows as how he is agoin, to sue Bragg
for waste. But I'd like to know where
the Yanks get those guns which they
load on Sunday, and fire all the week?'
II remember a young woman, evil
