WHEN GORDON RAN.
Incident of the Life of the Dis

An incident in the life Of the late
General John 3. Gordon, the Confed-
crate leader, when he was forced to
surrender is recalled by :. II. Girard-
eau, now an alderman of Atlanta.
The scene was where Carnegie library
now stands. 1t was about 1888 or 1884,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
"At that time Professor Means was
conducting a military school at this
place." says Mr.. Girardeau. Several
inches Of snow covered the ground, and
a full score Of boys were up to their
necks in snow and fun. l saw the COM
handing figure Of General Gordon turn
from Peachtree street into Forsyth
street and wend his way toward the
old state capitol, which stood at the
corner OF Marietta and Forsyth streets
He seemed to be wholly unconscious of
the fate which was about to befall
him.
THE keen eyes of the boys caught
the sight of the hero Of many battles
and young militia got busy with their
hands. Then they waited in silence
until the general got within easy range
Without one wor@ of warning they lit

snow balls.
Gracefully lifting his silk hat high
above his head he said, Boys, l sur

Run! We want you to run! which
was emphasized by a continued volley
Of snowballs. He exclaimed, Young
gentlemen, l willv And, suiting his
words to action and still holding his
hat in hand, he ran beyond the reach
of young militia.

the small things of life as we'll as the

A great many years ago the people
Of Egypt, who had many idols, wor-
SHIPPED the cat among others. They
thought she was like the moon, because
she was more active at night, and be-
cause her eyes changed like the moon.
So they made an idol with cats head
and named it Pasht. The same name
they gave to the moon, for the word
means, ''the face Of the moon" Thd
word has been changed to "Pas" and
"Pus," and has come at last to be
"Puss," the name the most Of US give
