But the trouble about distinguishing

MISSOURIS HULL Run.
4 Bcisted Explanation OF How 100 fcd-
erals Routed 700 Confedcratcs

MACON, Mo, Feb. IA secret nearly
forty-four years old regarding the wonder
full victory Of Col David Moore's little com
pany of Federals at Athens, Mo. over Col.
Martin Green's army Of 100 Confederates
was divulged by Comrade l.. NJ. Sprague OF
Arabela, Mo, who was before the pension
board here to-day. For nearly half a cen
tury no one has publicly explained how II
was the little Federal force scared the Con-
federntes so that the Athens engagement is
referred TO as Missouri's Bull Run.
There isn't the slightest doubt about ne
COnfederates scattering. They will tell
you that, and laugh over il But Cotnrade
Sprague Is the first man to tell why the boys
in blue stood so well.
When the fight began, said Mr.. Sprague,
col. Moore didn't have more than 100 men
in his command. The Colonel was natu ral
born fighter, and you'd have TO shoot his
head on TO scare him
I suspect he had some doubts a. TO what

yes. knox. said the trunk man, some
people think that everybody in Europe
has his trunk marked with some sort Of
a distinguishing mark-a red line around
it. or a blue stripe. or a yellow diagonal
stripe, or a star that it can easily be
discovered; but as n matter Of fact there
IL no such custom generally prevailing
there and never was, and II such a custom
we're general II wouldn't work at all. Let
me illustrate:
There was an Englishman once who
conceived the happy notion Of so marking
his own trunk that he could identify it
anywhere in any pile Of baggage with
certainty and despatch, and he had painted
oil around his trunk broad black stripe
That was good and great az long as he
had the exclusive use Of the broad black
stripe as an indentifying mark Of his own;
but he didn't have it long
1T struck other people fayorably as it
had the original inventor, and other people
had their trunks marked that way, and
finally London trunk maker put it on
trunks in stock. Therefore that stripe
vas only confusing instead Of an identi-
flying mark.
NO. the custom Of putting distinguishing
never generally prevailedin Europe. The
common custom there il to letter trunks,
rs We do here
We have lately made for a customer
n steamer trunk which he has had US paint
IN English vermilion on either end OF the
lid, his initials being lettered on that red
base Rear in mind that the lid Of a steamer
trunk il shallow, that its ends are narrow
from top TO bottom. and ] will tell you
tho rest.
In Europe it Is a common custom for
hotels to paste their labels. like steamer
labels. on their guests trunks. II you
keep going long enough in Europe. and
stopping at hotels, you will get your trunk
covered with theAe hotel labels Of all sorts
this being a custom that IS now followed IN
this country also. to greater or Lesser er-
tent.
