 "A N the morning of March IT, 1863, M A Fitz- Hugh Lees bugler sound
 ed "boots and saddles in the
 bivouac on the Rappahannock as the first call for that famous fight ing brigade to pitched encounter. Al. though it was the second year of the war, there had been no real fighting on horseback in the east up to that date, except between mere handfuls of men in outpost skirmish. Jeb Stuart had often ridden on daring raids ill 1862, but never yet crossed sabers with foe worthy of his steel.
 The armies of Robert E. Lee and Joe Hooker lay on opposite banks of the Rappahannock, Hooker getting his ranks in trim to cross over and pass the flank of Lee on the way to Rich mond. But the river was patrolled on the southern bank by Stuart's alert horsemen. These must be cleared away before Rockers advance set face southward or the movement would be discovered at the start. Fitz Lees main camp was at Culpeper Court House, some miles back from the river. His strongest guard stood watch at Kelly's ford, the best crossing of the region above Fredericksburg.
 Hooker ordered General William W. Averell to ride out with his brigade of 5000 troopers and smash Fftz Lees brigade. But they had clever scouts in the camps of the Army of Northern Virginia Averell had barely left his tents on the north bank when General Robert E. Lee sent a telegram from headquarters at Fredericksburg to his nephew, putting him on his guard, and by nightfall of the 16th Fitz Lees own scouts brought word that the riders in blue were only six miles from Kelly's ford and aiming for that crossing.
 Fitz-Hugh Lee kept twenty sharp shooters at the ford regularly and i'm mediately sent down forty more at gallop. The sharpshooters had built pits for cover and lay awake all night to meet the enemy. The ford was ob- structed with fallen trees and the op- posite approach barricaded with a net work of stout limbs and saplings hewn to a sharp point. Averell's advance guard twice tried the ford about a. m. on the 17th and was driven back. Fi nally Averell picked twenty men from his brigade and, calling upon Lieuten
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-12

ant s. A. Brown of Troop G, First Rhode Island cavalry, told him to cross that ford and not return until so ordered. When Brown reached the middle of the current, he had but six teen followers and, making rush, reached the enemy's pits with but two men at his back. But the daring fel- lows had made such a good fight with their carbines that the sharpshooters retreated and Brown captured twenty five belated ones whose horse holders stampeded and left them without mounts.
 Averell quickly crossed his brigade for fear of attack while astraddle of the stream. The current was very swift, and in order to prevent wetting the ar tillery ammunition in crossing it was carried in the nosebags of the horses The troops went into line of battle as soon as they were over, but, seeing no enemy, marched out on the different roads leading from the ford. With his right resting upon the river Averell ad- vanced his left to a good position for battle and halted with his sharpshoot- CTS behind a stone farm fence.
 Fitz-Hugh Lee held back in order to make sure that Averell was crossing at Kelly's instead of ford higher up When his scouts told of Averelps posi- tion, he quickly rode down, preceded by mounted sharpshooters, and formed the Third Virginia cavalry for the charge. The Virginians swept down the stone fence, using pistols in the faces of the Federals. Finding no gap through the wall, they rode back into a field, reformed their ranks and re- turned to the attack through farm yard held by the Federals. The Feder- als at the farm were Pennsylvanians and the fighting waged fercely for

HOW TO ANSWER ADS.
The Proper Way of Making AppIi-
 cat1On Fer Work.

Tho Proper Way of Making AppIi-
 cation Fer Work.
 Use full size commercial letter paper of good quality and an envelope of cor responding size. Write on one side of the paper only. Make the letter as brief as consistent with the informa- ton to be imparted. If the advertiser conceals his name and address, as he generally does in advertisements, no salutaton, as Dear Sir'' or Gentle men," is to be used. This requires that the letter of application shall be left ai the office of the newspaper in which the advertisement appeared, and it is not to be stamped.
 As letters of application are ordina- rily much alike, the writer should try to give his letter some Individuality, thus attracting special attention, says the Chicago News. Originality is al- ways noted and admired. While some what different, most letters begin, Re plying to your advertisement" "In re- ply to your advertisement" Referring to your advertisement" Tn reference to your advertisement" Answering your advertisement" Noticing your advertisement" Seeing your adver- tisement," so that the letter that be- gins Tn the hope of getting the posi- ton advertised ask the privilege of filing an application with you" is diff ferent, and by this fact alone attracts attention among hundreds of letters that are so much alike. It individual izes the letter and thereby gives the writer the leading chance for the posi- ton.
 Don't inclose stamp, as 1t is a way of urging attention and reply. Let the letter be short, stating only that you desire to get the position, and state few important qualifications you may possess in order to show your ability to fill the position satisfactorily No wording of the closing paragraph of the letter can be more appropriate than Hoping to hear from you, I am," etc. This closing leaves the matter entirely with the one who controls the situation and who will be pleased with your ap- parent subordination, which is valua- ble characteristic in an employee.
 Sign your name plainly and in full and put your address under the sigma ture, so that the name and address may be together for convenient reference.

The Comma Width of Skirts.


No one can lay down any rule for
the making and cut of the skirts of
the immediate future, but everything
points to their being shorter and much
fuller. We are copying the idea of
them from some of the medieval
dresses, that were much gathered and
plated to within some inches below
the waist. Such skirts are generally
trimmed round with bands of some
contrasting material trimmed square
at the neck with lace, the sleeves
pulled from the gatherings on the
shoulder to above the wrist, where
there are more gathers. You can see
plenty Of these skirts just now on the
stage, where there are many ex.
