Soldier Taken for a Girl.

George w. Logan of Salem, Va,
who came to the U. c. V. reunion as
delegate from Hop Dyole Camp, tells
an interesting story illustrative of the
belief of Union soldiers that many
women disguised themselves as men
and fought in the Confederate army.
Mr.. Logan was only seventeen years
old when he was taken prisoner in an
attack on Fort Cannon. He was very
slender, but deep-chested, and very
girlish in his appearance, being fair,
with high color and wearing his long,
light-brown hair brushed straight
back and impaired. Taken to Point
Lookout and later to City Point, he
attracted the attention of an officer of
the escort. The Federal officer treat
ed the youthful prisoner with as
much courtesy as circumstances per-
mitted, frequently conversing with
him.
One day the officer asked to be told
the truth regarding the belief among
Federal soldiers that many women
were serving in the Confederate
army, some of them being types of
the best of southern womanhood. Mr..
Logan said it was not true, but he had
heard, in common with others, that
a few women had so served.
Il believe this was So" said Mr.
Logan yesterday, "but 1 do not think
there were more than dozen such
Instances, and I have no positive
knowledge of any"
The Federal officer was thoughtful
for a while after the conversation re-
ferred to, and then urged the prisoner
to forswear the Confe6eracy and go
to the officers Pennsylvania home. Il
can arrange it without trouble" said
the officer, land my people will re-
ceive you and treat you like one Of
the family" A dozen times or more
the officer urged the point.
II subsequently learned said Mr.
Logan, that he believed l was a girl
and that it was for that reason tEat
he wanted me to go to Pennsylvania.
He never intimated such a reason to
me, but my information came in a
way that seemed to be reliable, and
then it was that1 understood why, be-
fore our conversation about women,
he had offered to procure me a bath
ing suit if I wished to go swimming at
any time."-New Orleans Tines

GOOD Times fos. the Rich.

Harper's Weekly.
A gentleman's gardener came to
him one day last month and desir-
ed audience. Said he: "You use
me we'll, sir; / have nothing to
complain of; but the undergarden-
er bought a house two years ago,
expecting TO be able to make pay
ments on it. I think perhaps, sir,
you would think it well to give
him some help.n The gentleman
assented, and agreed to increase
the undergraduates pay by sum
which the gardener thought would
be sufficient. Then said he: How
does 1t go with yourself, James? Do
you get along weilm aOh, z get
along, sir; I have been able until
lately to put aside part of my wa
ges. I cannot do that just now,
but / am hoping for better times"
The obvious moral of this true tale
from real life is that the times are
not ebuany good for all persons,
and that those whose incomes have
long been fixed are not embarrassed
by the riches which are advertised
to be inundating the country.

Raleigh and fhe Potato.

It was Sir Walter Raleigh who
brought potatoes into Ireland, at
the same time he brought the 9TH
er American product-to tobacco. Sir
Walter was busily engaged in op.
pressing the people about Cork, SO
naturally, when he planted the po-
tato on his estate at Youghai, near
Cork, the people were suspicious Of
it despite its palatableness. Cob
bett cursed the root MS being the
ruin of Ireland, declaring it a de-
vice OF Saxton ingenuity brought
into their midst to tempt and ey-
entua1ly to weaken them. Sir
Walter ate quantities of potatoes
himself before he could assure the
people Of their harmlesness. Now,
with commendable gratitude, the
tourist is shown the very spot In
the garden where Sir Walter plant
ed the potato root. Close by 1t is
another historical bit OF ground !;
there it is claimed Sir Walter rest
ed under the shade OF tree smok-
Ing his first pipe Of tobacco when
his servant de1uged him with a

ion he was on fire.

The number of men employed as
teachers in tho public schools of
this country, according to United
States Commissioner of Education
Harris, is slowly but steadily de-
creasing. In 1870 Il per cent Of
the teachers were males, and in
1900 the percentage had fallen to
%. The reason for the abandon
ment of school teaching by men is
that it does not pay well enough.
