rir.t European Almanac.

It is said that the first almanac print
ed In Europe was probably the Kalen-
dar1um Novum, by Regiomontanus. It
was Calculated for the years 1915,
1894 and 1913" In Budapest it was
published. Though it simply made men-
ton Of eclipses and the places Of the
planets for the respective years, it was
sold for 10 crowns Of gold, and the en-
tire impression was rapidly disposed Of
In Hungary, Germany, Italy, England
and France.
The first almanac-recorded as the
frst-known to have been printed in
England was translated from the
French and appeared in 1897. Each
month introduces itself in descriptive
verse, as:

A deep dimple Swallowed Betty's pink
cheek for a moment. Then, looking de-
murely at Jack, she answered Franks
question.
Il would be ever so much obliged to

without being touched by the rain"
Jack said nothing, but his face was
very pale when Betty gave him her.
hand at the carriage door. Frank tried
to coax him to change his mind, but,
Jack was firm, because Betty did not
second the invitation. Just as the car
rage door was about to be closed Bet
ty leaned out.
"Oh, Mr.. Winslow, I have decided to
90 to the Freeman dance Friday night
Then the carriage rolled away. When
they arrived at Betty's home neither
Frank Carlyle nor his companion saw
the figure standing in the shadow Of a
tree on the opposite side Of the street,
and when Frank left Betty at the door
and sprang again into his carriage Jack
Winslow walked away with a sigh Of
relief.
Anyway" murmured he, "she didn't
ask him to come in"
Friday night and the Freeman ball
came at last. Betty stood before her
mirror looking ut her reflection. The
white null gown, a gift from her aunt,
who rarely gave her niece anything
worth mentioning, was very becoming
to the girl. She had arranged her hair
after the style Of Mr.. Elfland's famous
picture, and she smiled as she looked
at the change 1t made in her appear
ance.
IF I weren't quite so pink and round
I might look something like her, but
she was pale and sad. Somehow l am
not sad. don't know why, but I feel
happy, wonderfully happy"
Turning away from the mirror, she
was just about to wrap herself in her
cloak when her sister entered the room,
carrying two narrow, white boxes. Bet
ty dropped her cloak, took the boxes
and, opening n Of them, lifted out a
deep, rich red rose, fresh and fragrant,
proudly dropping its heavy head and
filling the room with its odor. Betty ex-
amined the box, but there was no card.
Laying the rose upon the table and
turning to the other box, she lifted
from Its depths a long stemmed, half
blown pink rose, delicate and yet won
derfully sweet. This rose was also
without q card.
How strange" murmured the girl,
"that they should both have had the
same idea"
For a moment Betty stood silent. The
two roses lay upon the table. Suddenly
she heard her mothers voice calling to
her that it was time to start. Wrapping
her cloak about her, Betty turned and
ran lightly down the stairs. A moment
later the sound Of carriage wheels
rumbled along the street.
But the roses? There was only one
rose now lying upon the table, only
one, but It's heavy perfume filled the
whole room. and its heart glowed like q
great ruby.

VOLUNTEERS NOT WHIPPED
An Incident Showing That There Is
Some Advantage in Not Belong
ing to Regular Service.

Seeing the story of "the disloyal
rooster" in a late number Of your pa
per, reminds me of an incident that oc-
Cured near Clinton, Mo, in the sum-
mer of 1861. The Second Kansas in
fantry and some regular troops, with
several pieces of field artillery, manned
by volunteers also were on their way
from Kansas City to Springfield. After
going into camp some Of the boys, both
regulars and volunteers, made raid on
some ones chicken house. Next morn
ing the owner made complaint to the
commander, who was an old West
Pointer, and believed in discipline.
Having spotted" the raiders it was de-
cided that they should be whipped at
the lannon's mouth" Two or three
regulars of the line were thus punished.
the work being done with short "black
snake" whip by the buglers. When it
came to the volunteers, who were all
border men, and had seen service in the
troubles on the Kansas border during
1855 and 1857, their colonel very calm
ly informed the West Pointer that 1t
he attempted to whip his men, he would
turn bis guns upon the whole posse.
The volunteers were not whipped.

Ex-Prisoners of War.

William S. Therman, of Kings Creek,
O.. thinks that if there are any soldiers
deserving the consideration from the
government in rebel prison pens. No
pen can describe what were the suffer
ings of the men so unfortunate as to be
confined in those places, and he would
himself much rather risk his life on the
firing line than starve to death by
inches, as he saw thousands Of his COM
rades. He was captured October 20. 1863,
and paroled March 20, 1864. When cap
tured he weighed 1855 pounds, and when
paroled 12OA pounds. Before capture
he had never missed roll CALL and his
health was the very best. He has never
had any good health since leaving Belle
island. He belonged to company D, For

crop of the freckles, and also be able
to prevent the skin from becoming

those who kept their heads and who
made no complaint except on account of
the burning wadding from the guns or
the fiery flakes or sparks that fell in
showers on their backs and more often
than otherwise burned through OvercOac

The boys talked about being held at
the lannon's mouth, about the surprise
that awaited the confederates in front,
andas the performance continued longer
than they expected they wriggled from
place to place on the ground, doing con-
siderable visiting.
1T seems incredible to me now, but
while that bombardment was In prog
ress I'received visits from two men of
regiments in other divisions whom had
not seen in the course of the war. One
of them was an old schoolmate. His
regiment had been driven back on our

in front of the guns. Noticing the num-

tactics.
when the firing began, and the smoke
from 80 or 40 cannon settled down upon
us, darkening the air about us like
cloud, he asked where company was,
and, with his nose to the ground, crept
along the front of three companies until
he found me- All our faces were black
with dirt and smoke, and when my old
schoolmate, without looking up, spoke
my name, some one said. jOcularly:
What you want, Dirty Face?' and
Shaping me on the shoulder, said: Here
is your man. We lay side by side for
what seemed to us long time, when
there came creeping toward us another
figure.

like to die with somebody who knew

IN SPITE OF HIMSELF.
Amusing Story Of How a Captain
Won Distinction and Advance
ment Unexpectedly.

Speaking of war Incidents said
q veteran newspaper man, "a friend
of mine in West Virginia, who wore
the union blue in the civil war, was the
principal actor in an affair that was
unique. He was promoted from captain
to colonel for bravery in the face OF
the enemy when as matter Of fact he
was brave on the occasion which
brought about his promotion because
he could not help it. 1t was case Of
bravery being actually forced upon him
against his will.
1T appears that the union troops OF
which the captains company was a
part had become demoralized to some
extent by the fire of the confederates,
and the soldiers were scattered over the
battlefield in squads. The captain had
secured stray horse, and soon after
mounting the strange animal an order
ly dashed up to him and said:
1.-The general commands you to
charge your men and take those works
in front of your line
Turning to the scattered troops the
captain sang out:
Rally, men, the general has ordered
us to capture those works ahead
"As some of the soldiers we're lining
up for the advance the capita acct
dentally touched his spurs to the TANKS
of the strange horse. With snort the
animal, selling the bit in its teeth,
sprang forward, and, going like whirl-
wind, headed straight for the enemys
works.
"'Come on, men, shouted the captain,
as he chung on for dear life and tugged
: at the bride in a desperate effort to
bring the excited beast to standstill.
! But the more he tugged at the bit the
! faster the horse went toward the enemy.
bullets were tipping uncomfortably
close to the captain, and he expected to
be punctured by mimic ball at any
!, instant. He glanced backward and saw
his scattered followers far in the rear.
He was close upon the earthworks,
when, gripping the reins and closing his
eyes, the meantime yelling"whoa' at the
horse, he prepared for the worst. With
,, a mighty bound the animal cleared the
works and was on the inside. The sole
defender was q gray-clad confederate
infantryman, who had been pegging
away with his musket at the union line.
Surrender, you scoundrel,' shouted
the captain, partly in terror and partly
to terrorize the solitary confederate SOL
| der. "S
"'You go to Hades, you internal
Yank,' replied the southerner, as he
dashed down a hill and disappeared In
a nearby thicket, leaving the captain
and his excited, prancing steed in sole
possession of the works he had captured
single-handed and against his will
81 was simply rushed into fame and
glory by a crazy runaway horse, said
the captain, but when my promotion
came, with thrilling description OF my
heroic charge and capture simply
accepted it as one of the fortunes OF war,
although it was a mistake and did not
deserve it. l was glad escaped with
my life"
