The study of State history has
not in the past been given the
emphasis it deserves. Louisiana
has a glorious past, and the study
of its honorable history must in
crease the State pride and patriot

Enclosed is paragraph from
the Winchester Virginian, pub
lished in January, 1862. It was
sent to my wife, then living near
Tulip, Dallas county, Ark, by a
widow Long, with whom I was
boarding in Winchester, Va. This
lady, one of the noblest and most
elegant l ever met, had all her
property destroyed near Harper's
Ferry, and had moved to VIM
chester, to open a boarding house
to support herself and three
fatherless children. By the kind
ness of Major Shoemaker, who
had learned that was wounded
and on my way to Winchester,
secured board for me at Mrs.
Longs, and waited until arrived
to assist in bearing me into the
house and introducing me, before
he left to join his brigade of ar
tillery, under General Stonewall
jackson.
Erysipelas attacked the ampu-
tated arm the day after my arri-
val, resulting in slough of the
cap around the bone, and caused
subsequently two other amputa-
tons before a thin cartilage COW
cred the bone.
In the meantime a severe case
of dysentery ensued, by which I
became so emaciated that could
not see, nor would any food stay
on my stomach. My surgeons
told me they had no hope of saw
ing me, unless they could get a
pure article of French brandy, to
dilute in milk. The brandy was
sent to me by the hands of q son
of one of my fathers old friends
from Lynchburg, and one of my
college lady friends, near VIM
chester, sent seven miles twice a
week the milk from her only COW,
which had escaped the ravages of
the enemy. Still the surgeons
babe me prepare for death. Mrs.
Long correspondent with my wife,
and enclosed the paragraph to
her, which ! found among the
leaves of the prophet Tobet, in nv
mothers old family Bible, where
my wife had placed it. This was
the first time / had ever seen it.
But my life was spared under
peculiar circumstances.
The Third Arkansas Regiment
of Infantry was ordered to Ma
nassas Junction, and while march
ing by Mrs. Longs residence my
Company halted, and every officer
and man came to my bedside,
shook my hand, and babe me an
eternal adieu, as they thought
When they left the room I burst
into tears. l thought every friend
had deserted me. A copious flood
of tears brought the first relief l
had since / had been wounded. |
,cilled / would not die until / died
with arms of my wife and daugh-
ter around me. Before night /
felt better.
When Gen. Jackson returned
from his Romney expedition in
1862, he called to see me. told
him | had parted with my wife,
telling her / would not return to
Arkansas until the war was over,
or that had been ordered there,
and | wanted to die at my own
home. Gen. jackson replied, |
will at once issue an order to you
to go to Arkansas and recruit for
your regiment, and also that /
will change you from infantry to
artillery, and give you command
of two batteries when you return.
The order was sent me that very
day, and | ,cilled that I would
return to Arkansas.
Under the watchful care of our
Heavenly Father, aided by the
unceasinp nursing of Mrs. LONG.

TIE LABOR
Come OF the Qualities He Must Pos-
sess to BE successful.


Strikes contribute but slightly TO the
equipment Of the successful labor agi-
tator, The agitatnr must be thorough
Iy acquainted with the history of the
labor movement and be capable Of pre-
senting its aims and aspirations ia an
attractive and convincing manner. He
must possess the ability TO think rapid
ly and TO express his views and opin-
ions clearly and forcibly. But. withaI.
be must inspire those whom he would
lead with absolute faith in his honesty.
The agitator isn't always an advocate
of strikes. He has sometimes to exert
his influence TO prevent a strike which
his Judgment tells him would be I'M
wise. 1t may sound like mixing terms
to say SO, but it is a truth that the
most difficult tasks performed by the
labor agitators are their .'agitations''
in the interest of peace, their efforts TO
prevent strikes. The man who is all
ways in favor of a strike as soon as
one Is suggested or who is constantly
on the search for a casus belli soon
finds his influence as a leader gone

Russia.

Those who are permitted to speak the
open truth in Russia may be counted
On the fingers of one hand, and then
half of them will be left unused. Why
these people are tolerated is one OF the
secrets Of state. Outside of these only
those who write works of fiction. which
the majority of the people cannot and
do not read, are permitted to speak OF
things as they are. When they exceed
the limits of Russian decency and
speak too openly, they are given a trip
to Siberia at the expense of the gov
crnment. Siberia is the place where
the boldest, the most courageous and
most talented products Of Russia are
put on cold storage.
1t is the coolest part of the country,
and honest people are sent there when
the country becomes too hot for them.
When the innocent tourist asks. where
are your honest peopler' Siberia is
pointed out to him. III he asks more
questions. he is himself sent there. The
government objects to questions on gen
eral principles. Russia refuses to be
interviewed.-B. g. Richards in Reader
Magazine.
