"StOnewall" jackson,

In "The Life of Margaret J. Pres
ton" the author tells us much about
that lady's brother-in-law, "Stonewalr'
Jackson. His attention to minor points
of conduct is shown in his manner of
taking his Sunday nap. Jackson was
at the time in command of a military
school.
His long continued suffering from
dyspepsia had induced predisposition
to drowSiness, which he was very like
ly to yield to when sitting for a length
of time quiet or unoccupied. Especial
ly in church would this infirmity beset
him. although most strenuously and
conscientiously resisted. Still he could
not be persuaded to relax his military
habit of sitting in Il perfectly erect
posture, thus rendering the unwilling
nod all the more apparent.
Some one playfully pleaded with him
to lean back in the pew, 50 that he
would be less conspicuous and the
cadets opposite him in the gallery
would be in less danger of being in
jured by his example; at least. that he
would cease to be a source of amuse-
ment to them.
His reply to this badinage was: 81

Then Ruth Vincent, returning from

enough to be stared at, but for him to

But Preston was in Cleveland, going
