most faithful counsellor.
Third, common sense. Men have no
patience with a silly, giggling, senseless
woman, If you let him see that YOU
have brains he will soon recognize thar
fact, and it will make him think of Won
as actually an equal, quite worthy of his
confidence. In theory the Twentieth CEN

equal, of course; but i'll his secret hear.

lived at Raccoon Ford, Va. The String
fellow house wasn't over hundred and
fifty yards from the Rnpidan River. The
county road running towards Richmond,
ran right by their yard.
One Sunday morning the stringfellow
family saw thousands of men passing
along tho road. The men Were south,

with Mrs. stringfellow. The last man.
that came was q general and no told
Mrs stringfellow that he had orders to

we're right behind them. He said that
she had better take her family down to
the cellar, since firing would soon be-

So Mrs. strngtelIow took all of her
family to the cellar. The negroes ran
down there. too. t6
AS soon as the stringfellows got to
the cellar the cnnnonade began, and 1t

men were ON the Orange hills, and the
