GENERALS DECIDED WAY.
Prompt Method Adopted by the Om-
Ger for Securing n Corpornrs
Release.

Back in the reconstruction period Of
the south Lieut.. Gen. S. b. M. Young,
the new chief of the general staff of the
United States army, proved himself :.
hero of the fearless, intrepid stripe. The
incident occurred in Texas, relates Col
lier's Weekly. He was in command of
a garrison in the lone star state Consid-
erable friction developed between the
soldiery and the citizens of the town.
The citizens made divers threats and the
bluecoats followed suit. Young respect
ed the law, but those were strenuous
times and the iron hand was needed
down in that country. The people
stormed, but Young merely laughed.
Finally the town authorities arrested
one of the soldiers and hailed him into
court. Tension was high in the little
town and things looked dark for the
prisoner. Young learned of the arrest.
He didn't call in his staff for advice and
he didn't wait to consult with his mill
tary jurists. The eXigency had to be

and the head of a bird in jet. The
Mephistopheles effect is very striking;
indeed the whole costume is worthy OF
note.
Anyone who possesses real jet should
make use of it. l have seen many jet
boleros, very often mounted on foun-
dation of black Chartilly, and sometimes
on heavy cream guipure.
There is always a revival of black
and white frocks at this time of year
for the Riviera season, while, with
view to the approach of Lent, the all
black frock, and the usual variety OF
grays and mauves will shortly make
their appearance.
For evening wear It appears to me
that the majority of bright colors, with
the exception of that exquisite rose du
Barry, are giving place to more sombre
tones.
THE blush slate gray which we Paris
ians often affect is not very becoming,
though it is sometimes smart, especially
when relieved with black.
"The Riviera millinery sees revival
of dull gold, and our modistes are pro-
ducing, in lovely colorings, the pointed
toaue, which is worn tilted back on to
the coiffure 1t is small and narrow at
the sides and only suited to few faces,
though it will probably find favor among
many elegantes.
Silver tissue, too, made up into flow
ers, leaves and sprays will appear in
company with tucked white chiffon, vio-
| lets, mimosa and other spring flowers.
l do not venture to say that this mixture
is becoming, for silver and gold mixed
with white are apt to look chilly in a
March wind.
There is decided liking for the
elongated, pointed toque Ito wear with
cloth tailor-made costumes), trimmed
only with woven braids. In spite OF
this, the fiat round shape Is by no means
at a discount, so the mondaire will have
the choice of two entirely different
shapes-the all-round and the much
pointed.
These fiat shapes appear in dark
blue, dark myrtle green, and all the new
/ shades of pearl gray, the only permis-
sible trimming being bows of ribbon, or
braid and velvet ribbon, mixed in har-
monious tones.
with the exception of the gorgeous
chapeau to accompany the gorgeous
toilette de reception, l should say that
millinery is of quiet order, with a de-
cided leaning towards bold lines"

black moire ribbon, which, with the lit
tie turnover collar of fine white lawn,
gives a very smart appearance.
The second blouse is cut out in the
form of V, over an undervest and neck
band of coarse cream guipure. The
opening Is bordered with a stitched
band, which is doubled back at each side
to continue the line Of the yoke over the
shoulders. This band might be made in
Chinese embroidery, which would be
very effective on dark blue or green vel
veteen; in which case the deep-stitched

SrOf course" said Dan r. Anderson,
In the Chicago Inter Ocean, 1.-The most
trying duty for a soldier was standing
picket on stormy night with skulk-
ing enemy in front. Foraging required
nerve of another sort, but it required
also readiness and resourcefulness.
While we were at McMinnville, Tenn,
Joe Cahill Il have heard he lives in
Chicago) and myself we're out foraging
and came upon a field of sweet pota-
toes and melons on hillside some dis
tance from the road. | suggested that
we go over and dig some of the pota-
toes on shares, and we were soon at
work.
I'VE had dug about half a bushel as
fine sweet potatoes as you ever saw
when rifle bullet struck the ground
between us. We saw where the smoke
came from, and we saw also house
not far away. Believing the BUSH
whacker would run to the house we de-
-cided to get there before him. AS we
turned the corner of the house at a full
run we came face to face with the
bpshwhacker, gun in hand. Caught in
the act, he was greatly disturbed, while
we were in great good humor. AS he
had had the privilege of shooting at us,
we took the privilege of confiscating
certain things found in and about his
house.
We took half bushel of onions,
two hams, some butter in crock Gt
would have been better for us to have
had it in bottle), half dozen young
chickens, and, loading up the old man
with his own goods, started for camp.
About half way to camp the BUSH
whacker threw his white mans burden
ON the ground and bolted. AS Joe was
carrying the gun, with half a dozen
chickens strung on it, over his shoul-
der, l dropped my load and gave chase.
81 caught him, brought him back to
the burden, persuaded him to take 1t
UP, and we reached camp without any
further trouble. There we turned the
bushwhacker over to Gen. Nelson, who,
well pleased at the capture, asked no
questions as to why we were outside
the lines.
Cut speaking of alertness on picket,
there was case of nonalertness in
that McMinnville campaign that took
the cake. Gen. Nelson was in COM
mand, and, as Bragg was making

He ordered out file of soldiers, placed
himself at their head and marched rap

Quick as flash the corporal wheeled

S P Saunders of Amos accompanied
VIM Carter of Iowa, who is visiting old
friends there, to our village last Friday
to call upon old time acquaintances here.
Mr. Saunders, in speaking of the storm
down on the Prairie week ago last Sun

blew the mortgage off from one of the
farms.
Arthur Ellickson and Olaf P Lee re-
turned home last Saturday evening.
Eighteen months ago they set sail for
South Africa, where for one year they
raised tobacco for an English syndicate.
After the expiration of their time they
returned to London and then to Norway
where they visited some time. During
the time they were away sixty days were
spent upon the oceans. The boys look
hale and hearty and their friends are
glad to welcome them home.
Last Sunday morning Marshal Crump
discovered a horse and buggy tied on
the side street in the rear of T G Slagg's
store, and from strong information which
he gathered came to the conclusion that
the animal should be cared for. Accord
ingly he put it in his barn and as no one
called to claim the rig he surmised it
had been stolen. Monday morning he
saw by the Evening Wisconsin notice
Saturday evening previous of rig hav-
ing been stolen from Joseph Kane, on
Friday evening, which answered the de-
scription and SO he telephoned Mr. Kane,
who described the outfit accurately and
on Monday evening came out here and
got his rig. The outfit was taken from
in front of James Cowles place, opposite
the south gate of the Soldiers Home, on
National Avenue, on Friday evening, and
was first seen in this village Saturday
forenoon. Mr. Kane is positive that one
"Silver Dick" is the man who stole the
rig. His description tallies with the
man seen driving into our village, but all
traces of him are lost after he landed in
Cambridge.

Cuban Women.

The Cuban wonderland the men as
welfare intensely affectionate. They
say much in words, often more than
their hearts feel. But they are very
warm hearted. Every letter that l get
from girl friends of six months ac-
quaintance is a love letter, full OF pas
sionate expressions of endearment. The
Cuban women mature quickly, and a
girl Of fourteen in Cuba is as mature
as n girl of seventeen here. Early mar
riages are the rule. The Cuban women
are dainty, pretty and very like the
French women, with many Of the
French ways and ideals. They care
little for forming themselves into clubs
for literary culture, and woman SUI
frage doesn't agitate them. They are
vastly more interested in being clever
needlewomen, good musicians, good
housekeepers, charming sweethearts,
than in running the government.-Cor.

Coaches In France.

AS regards the history Of coaches n
France, Henry ". was assassinated in
1910. Soon after his death some en-
cravings were published representing
him being murdered in his carriage by
Ravaillac. 1t is from these that we
get a fair idea of the coaches.
They are simply square boxes, meas
uring by scale six feet in length by
three and a half feet in width, Oh four
wheels Of the same diameter, without
any springs or straps and seating six
persons in all-namely, two with their
backs to the horses, two facing them
and two more, one on each side of the
two boots at the side. Each vehicle
had a roof, resting on light columns.
and curtains to draw or to let down.
This agrees we'll with the received
accounts Of the incident, according to
one version of which Henry rode in
an open carriage, and according to an
other that as soon as the fatal blow
was delivered by the assassin the
kings attendant who rode with him
in the carriage drew the curtains, and
hiding the king from public view, as
sured the enraged people that he was
only wounded.-Notes and Queries.
