ter impress this fact on you than by
relating story which has cast
shadow over .ay whole life. You will
have 10 reason to doubt me when I
tell you that my own sister today is q
mental wreck because of my youthful
propensity for having fun at the ex-
pense Of others. To use hackneyed
expression, | frightened her out of
her senses.
THAT was nigh on to thirty years
ago, and memory brings the unfortu-
nate incident as vividly before my
mind this evening as if it happened
only an hour ago. I remember only
too well the day I returned home with
all the pride OF one who had just been
graduated in medicine. During con-
versation among the family circle
a great deal of what I had seen as
prospective graduate in medicine was
spoken Of. The talk drifted on about
dead people and then about ghosts,
all in playful way.
"My sister, who was young wo-
man full of courage, laughed at the
idea of spooks and said she would
have to see one and speak to it before
she would ever believe in vjsitations
from the other world. was full of
fun then and would go out of my way
for laugh at the expense of another.
l determined to try her courage con-
corning spirits, and what should come
to my mind but the idea Of rigging up
q skeleton and putting it in the wsy
that led to her room. Oblivious to
every thought but that of causing
gooG joke, improvised feshless
fright and liked 1t where she would
have to meet it.
"she did meet it, too, and the sight
of it has never left her. We heard
her give one loud scream and that was
all. Rushing to the hallway, we
found her staring at the skeleton with
o grin on her face. She could not
move and was taken away. The best
attention money could give her failed
to benefit her. That same stare and
that piece of foolishness has never
left her, and today she is in retreat
hopeless mental wreck. That is why
l say the common expression she was
frightened out OF. her wits has truth

An Awkward Moment.

The late Samel NJ. Jones. the G olden
Rule Mayor Of Toledo, was once dis
cussing, in political address, awk-
ward moments.
1.-The most awkward moment know
Of, he said smiling, "oame in the ex-
perience Of worthy old Presbyterian
minister Of Columbus. I have heard
this minister describe the moment
more than once, and I am sure it must
have been very awkward, Indeed.
"It seems that tie cd gentleman
dined with brotaer clergyman in the
country, and after dinner walked in
the garden with his lost till rather
late. The host, hnally, aeked him to
stay all night and he consented.
"They went back to the house to.
getber to arrange about the spare
chamber and SO on, and afterward
they took another turn about the gar
den.
Well said the host at last,
suppose we turn in. Yonder is the
hallway. just go in there and hang
up your hat and wait for me. I want
to speak to the gardner and I'll join
you in minute
$50 the guest, alone, entered the
hall. He grouped his way, for it was
very dark. By the door stood the wife
of his host. She mistook him for her
husband in the gloom, and taking up
huge Bible from the table she
brought it down across his shoulders
with whack. -.

asking that ugly wretch to stay ell,

The Confederate Strength.
(Spring6eld Renublican.)

Charles E. Benton lays too much
stress upon real or reported "boast-
ing Of individuals during the war or
just preceding it. There was q good
deal Of loose wild talk on both sides.
Dir. yard was quoted ss predicting
o 6-"usys' fight, and the men who
went forth to the frst Bull Run battle
indulged in considerable swagger.
Gen. Thomas was held responsible for
saying that he "would drink all the
blood that would be she'd" but he
denied having made any such utter
ance. John Randolph used to ex-
claim, Cali the bastard wit of the
country is fathered on MEL Judge
Rice, of Montgomery, Ala, a great
wag, was charged with the statement
that 1--WE (Southern men) can whip
the Yankees with pop.guns." After
the war, twitted with it, he roared,
"We could; but you would not fight
that way" Perhaps the South would
have succeeded if only Yankees had
confronted her; but I think that our
Yankee brethren had many thousands
of European recruits to help them.
l am reluctantly compelled, after years
of examination, to believe that it was
not 80 much disparity of numbers
that wasted the South, but incom-
petent civil authorities at Richmond.
They blighted the real genersls and
wise statesmen. In Gen. Longs.reet's
official record Of the Confederate 10 forces
at Gettysburg, the total is IS 600, aud
the cavalry 5000. Where does Mr..
Benton get his 10000?
If Mr.. Benton desires to know what
prodigies cavalry performed, when led
by the greatest soldier on either side,
let him carefully pursue the biography
Of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. He
was not educated in the literary or
military schools, but he was, like
Give, "a heaven-born general" He
had aome serious defects Of, habit,
though v:rtuous in many ways, where
some great commanders are faulty, in
history, but if the war produced q
general who knew how town victories
and how to utilize them sigually For.
rest, I think, heads the list. 81
Unjust say, in conclusion, that the
South has no distinctive monopoly OF
superiority In boasdng. She surpass-
es the North In several matters, as the
North surpasses her In other thinss.
In the close Of the 20.h century che
is apt TO surpass the North, for in-
stance, in cotton manufacture as we'll
as culture Of that product. She fnay

Quick Witted Indian.

The late Clement Scott, the English
dramatic critic, took profound inter-
est in the American Indian. He had
at his tongues tip hundred moi
dents wherewith to illustrate odd
phases Of the Indians character.
"As rule" he once said, Eve re-
gard the Indian as straightforward, !,
frank, blunt fellow. We don's $3.50
oiate with him any idea Of wiles, OF
craft, or subtle humor. AS matter
Of fast, though, the American Indian
is very often full Of moan tricks and
jokes.
"There was farmer in the west one
summer who was hard put to it for
help upon his farm. Indians were
plentiful in the neighborhood, but
they were poor workmen. Always
tired they would put down the hoe or
the rake as soon as the masters back
was turned, and selecting cool spot,
they would lie down on the grass and
sleep the day away.
"But one. morning a very tall, ro-
bust Indian asked the farmer to give
him work. !.
NO., said the white man. You
will get tired. You Indians are al
ways getting tired
"'Oh, no. said the other. .This
Injun never get tired. This Injun
not like the rsst.' s 81 NJ. y
".Well, I'll try you,' said che Farmer,
and he engaged the man. he put him
to work in . wheat field; then he went
away for an honr or two. When she
returned he found the Indian 3aslesp
under . tfse. 6 S.sS 3
S" Here, wake up, here, he cried.
'You told me yon never gos tired. s.
