AS soon as this rush of Federals began the Confeder- ates upon the crest set to work in ear nest and fired or hurled or rolled ev- erything heavy and hurtful which they could lay their hands on down the slope. Sheridan found the foot of the slope a hot place to tarry, so he rode for the crest, making for the headquar- ters of the Confederate commander. He posed as conspicuous target, and when he leaped his charger, Rienzi, over the parapet one of his colonels, who had been up there some time with his troops, hastened to the general and begged him to dismount Sheridan did 50 and saved his life. for the bullets flew too thick to miss man on horse back.
 Before the charge began Sheridan had waved pocket flask in full view of some Confederate officers near Bragg's headquarters, saying merrily, Here's to youv' The response to this toast had been couple of shells aimed at Little Phil from two guns known as the Lady Breckinridge and the Lady Buckner. There was 6 sharp battle over these guns between brigade of Ohioans and their defenders. The One Hundred and Twenty-flfth and the Six ty-fifth Ohio together cleared the bat tery. Each of these regiments claimed to have placed the first flag on the works. However that was, they had done the more important part of the business so thoroughly that when Sher- ffN fI6a Pny Fodn ates remaining undisarmed turned the butts of their muskets toward him in token of complete surrender.
 Thomas troops rushed up the sides of Mission ridge and over the enemy's works with an enthusiasm rarely seen in modern armies. One strong incen- tive had been given in the failure shortly before this magnificent charge of an attempt by Sherman's army to capture Tunnel hill, detached part of the ridge. General Thomas declared that he saw six regimental flags of his army planted simultaneously on the Confederate parapets. More followed quickly, for there was an exciting race between the regiments to get their ban- ners to the top first.
 One of Sheridan's soldiers who was present that day in the ranks of the One Hundred and Twenty-ffth Ohio says that Sheridan passed along the line of the regiment on his way to the left flank to spur up the men, who seemed to be giving way after the cap ture of the works at the base of the hill. Seeing the eagerness of the Ohio ans to press onward in spite of orders, he said to them: "Its all right, boys When you get your breath you may go on again"
 The word was passed alona and the regiments nearest the general immedi- ately started up the slope. aiming for the works crowning the very crest. Many officers seized the flags of their regiments and rushed ahead of the Xxga@

Eyes that are clear as the sparkling air When the frost sprinkled forests flame: Cheeks all aglow with the daintiest red, Wind tossed hair round graceful head, Bonny and blithesome beyond compare Hail to the queen of the game! There are courage and hope in her eyes
 so brown,
 And she raises the blue flag high, And, winning or losing, till all is done She Is true to her colors and cheers them

 With the Yale blue violets in her gown, Fair symbol of loyalty. There Is much that is dear in the victor s

 Honor, applause and fame But when the strife ends in a victory The first and the best which the winners Is a swift flashing signal from beauty s
 eyes, A smile from the queen of the game. Then here's to the maid who begins her

the entire Army of the Cumberland was scrambling up the hill in broken de- tachments, but with unbroken courage. At the first rush the enemy's line was broken in but few places, but in the end Thomas soldiers captured the en- tire ridge and turned the Confederate guns upon their former owners, who had stampeded to the rear. This blow following upon Rockers exploit on Lookout mountain, "above the clouds" paralyzed the defenders of Chattanoo- ga. Shernan's capture of Tunnel hill, the last stronghold, was an easy task with Thomas captured guns raking the enemy's line on his front.
 According to General Fullerton, who was on the field as & staff officer to Thomas, Grant was angry when he saw the Army of the Cumberland push ing onward up the ridge. The reason for this anger is made clear by the his torian of the Army of the Cumberland, General Cist. He says: 'In the general engagement Grants plan of battle had been for Sherman, with five divisions, to make the main attack, sweep every thing before him down the ridge, and when he had the enemy in full retreat the Army of the Cumberland was then to aid in the pursuit after patiently waiting till the fighting was over, Hooker under Grants original plan was to simply hold Lookout secure, aand when tho enemy was driven hy

ICopyright. 1903, by G. L. Kilmer.I wEqHE storming of Mission ridge
 Nov. 25. 1868, was a most dra-
 matic war event and one to
 deeply impress the imagina- ton. Chattanoogas peculiar location, a valley with encircling heights, was scene adapted to spectacular display. Confederates on the heights and Fed erals in the valley and on opposing hills could witness every movement of friend and foe. The fortified ridge suggested terrors if it did not hold them, so the element of danger was not lacking. Neither was the daring to face the dangers lacking in the boys in Phil Sheridan was the stage hero of Mission ridge, looking at 1t on its the atrical side. Of course 1t was no opera bouffe occasion. There were the Con- federate heights crowned with real wide awake battalions and real loaded guns to be taken by the fellows down in the valley. Grant had given orders to Thomas and his generals to lead their men through shot and shell to the base of the mountain and await fur fher commands. When the soldiers reached the base they halted for breath, but panted for the glory or the satisfaction of going to the very crest. They went to the crest, much to the surprise and the annoyance as well of the general in chief, without full au- thority.
 Now, In a battle crisis soldiers can't be stieklers for red tape routine. They look to their immediate superiors for points, and under some impulse never yet explained the men of T. ]. Woods division led off Tn concert and began to climb the hillside. Soldiers often come to the state Of not knowing when to stop. even though going ahead means death. But Woods soldiers do not ad- init of impulse alone as the inspiration for their unauthorized charge to the summit of Mission ridge. They re- ceived tacit orders, and the credit is given to Wood of having said some thing to set the fun a-going.
 Sheridan's division joined that of Wood on the right flank. His men came to dead halt at the base of the ridge, as ordered to do by Grant and Thomas, and one brigade even began to retreat from the base under the galling fire poured on them from above. Lit ltle Phil was acting as officer of the day Fof the army and appeared on the field dressed in full uniform. Every sol- dier knows the contrast between gen erals dress uniform and the plain garb worn in camp and on the field ordinari. IF. Sheridan rode down the line to bring his weakening brigades into shape and as he did so dropped few words for the ears of the soldiers passed on the way. The men understood the spirit of their leader.
 Two out of three of Sheridan's bri- gades acted upon the hints of their com mander and followed the example set by Woods soldiers. They went ID the bill. leaxiEg shartdan in the raar lnolxss.

RICE AND ROSES.
Practical and Sentimental Side of q
 Wedding Innovation.

Practical and Sentimental Side of @
 Wedding Innovation.
 The following editorial on an innova~ ton at a recent English wedding ap- peared in the Chicago Tribune:
 Brides come and go, and when they go 1t has been the custom from time tmmemorial to throw rice after them. The fashion of going away gowns changes from year to year, but the nuptial cereal that finds its way into the creases of these gowns remains ever the same. But at a recent Eng fish wedding in high life deviation was made from this time honored cus- tom, and the departing pair were pe1t- ed with dried rose leaves. Of course this innovation has it's practical and sentimental side.
 On the practical side it will appeal to those thrifty housewives who have deplored the number of possible pud- dings that have gone to waste at we'd dings and have sadly estimated the number of hungry mouths that they might have fed. Of course rose leaves have something of a sentimental sug- gestion, but the fact that dried rose leaves are used would seem to imply that romance had entered the scar and yellow leaf stage, and then again the question arises, How is it possible to throw a thing of such airiness and unsubstantiality as rose leaf? Yet no doubt if this custom is permanent ly adopted in England 1t will soon find its way to American wedding cele- brations. Hr
 Hereafter it will be the scent of dried rose leaves rather than the pres ence of rice that will betray bridal couples, and do what these interest ing individuals will to hide their iden- tity and newly marriedness the scent of the roses will cling to them still

Sherman he, too, was to join In the pursuit. All the fighting of the battle was to be done by Sherman, and the glory was to be his.
 "In sherman's memoirs we are fa- vored with Grants views of the Army of the Cumberland when Sherman first reported in person to Grant at Chat tanooga to learn his plan and the part he (Shermam was to take. Sherman says that Grant told him that the men of Thomas army had been so dernor- alized by the battle of Chickamauga that he feared they could not be got out of their trenches to assume the off, fensive' and also that the Army of the Cumberland had been SO long in the trenches that he wanted my troops to hurry up and take the offensive first, after which he had no doubt the Gum berland army would fight well.' So under Grants plan the Army of the Cumberland was to stand by and be taught grand object lesson how to fight, as given by Sherman"
 t Grants anger is further elucidated by General Fullerton, who says that when Wood and Sheridan were seen going up the ridge Grant said to Thom. as, "Who ordered those men up the ridge?
 Thomas answered: q don't know. I did not''
 Grant then turned to Granger, Thom- as chief of staff, and said, Did you order them up?, .s~s:>s*-~,,s s. --.
 Granger answered. "No, sir.g They started up without orders. When those fellows get started all hell can't stop them!' ..a..
 Grant added something to the effect that if the charge didn't turn out we'll somebody would suffer. Granger sent Fullerton to the hill to ask Wood and Sheridan if they had ordered the men up. Wood said: 'I didn't order them up. They started on their own hook and are going up too. Tell Granger if we are supported we'll take and hold the ridge"
 Sheridan answered in much the same words. Woods men made the first break, and it was claimed, but never proved, that Wood gave the order.

In an address recently delivered at
Bismarck, N. D., President Hill of
the Great Northern road, showed by
official statistics, that the rates of
transportation in and with that state
are only one-third of what they were
twenty years ago. He said that this
decrease was directly due to the vast
increase of business which forced
the roads to adopt a policy in the
matter of improved gradient, rolling
stock and appliances, and made the
reduction possible. This decrease
in rates has borne fixed ratio to
the increase in business. That be-
ing the case it follows as an irresist-
able sequence that whatever tends
to swell the volume of transporta-
ton will tend to diminish traffic
