Ono widows Weef,a

Whoever inspired the epigram, BE
ware of the sincerity of too fashion
able mourning" it certainly applied
to a youthful widow seen a few days
ago.
Gowned in the habiliments of deep
est mourning. wearing long crepe
veil which nearly swept the ground
and exhibiting costume with Paris
written all over it, with sad brown
eyes she looked plaintively out as if in
protest that the world should still
move or that any one should be happy
when she was not.
But the effect of the soulful glance
was marred by the color in her
cheeks which nature never gave, and
by the fat, pudgy pug which she car
ried beneath her arm, its head resting
on a chic muff of ruf1led crepe.
The crepe, the paint, and the pug
seemed to impress all beholders alike
and with one accord youth and old age
stopped deliberately and watched the
progress of the sad-eyed widow down

about four feet OF water under ner
keel. This landing stern-on was for
good reasons. Had she been pulled
upon the beach It would have been
impossible to get her off quickly had
that been necessary. Overheard the
officers and men went, holding their
accOuterments over their heads. They
reached the sandy beach and lay nat
for while, looking the ground over;
then took to the tall grass. about 100
feet from the water. The men were
then divided into squads of two, Clam
cy and Southard on the extreme right,
Lieutenant Cotton in the center. Mr.
Hall on the left. The two men on the
right could have walked into Fort Nor
gan if there had been no sentry. The
orders were not TO fire n shot, but to
use the sword bayonet, unless things
became unusually bot Shortly after
the men had reached their stations
mounted patrol was seen to leave the
fort, and when he reached Lieutenant
Cotton's station the men were onto
him. Never was there more sur
prised rebel. He gave the counter
sign. which was ATLANTA" and Of
course became prisoner. Upon the
pain of instant death he was ordered
to pilot the party to the videttes,
camp, which he did, and the party cap
tured Lieutenant Brown and two other
men-all four being from the Seventh
Alabama cavalry. By the time this
was accomplished the men were pretty
well tired out, with their heavy arms,
wet clothes and about five pounds OF
Alabama sandcock; and every man
would have given a months pay Tor
drink of water After the prisoners
were secured one Of the men asked
them if they had any water. Not be-
ing in very good humor they answered
no. The master-at-arms discovered
two muskmelons and one watermelon
in their tent, and they were quickly
consumed by the thirsty men. The
prisoners relented and pointed out
| cool spring not ten feet from the tent.
The party started up the beach on
their return. The rebels did not like
to take to the salt water to reach the
boat, but they did all the same. The
party reached the ship, tired, sleepy
and worn out, for sailors do not have
much of that kind Of work to do. At
the time the party were taking to their
boat the fort had become alarmed; but
they were too late. The prisoners
were turned over to Admiral Farragut
the next morning, and 1 presume that
he obtained all the information that
he desired from them. That expedition
was as daring as was done by any
party of sailors during the Civil War,
with the one exception Of Lieutenant
Cushing and the ram Albermarle. II
there had been newspaper corre-
spondent in the fleet that enterprise
would have made as much noise as
Cushings exploit-yet no man Of that
party has ever received the least con-
sideration except Lieutenant Cotton,
who has reached the height Of his am
bition-a rear admiral in command OF
the European squadron-and his pro-
motion was won by other services.
The navy captured cavalry, and Ad-
miral Farragut got his information
and on Aug. 5 the battle of Mobile Bay
was fought.-Eugene Orr, q. S. S.

Tie Old Rattle Flags.

Military Secretary, General Aims
worth, by command Of the Secretary
of War. has returned the Confederate
battle flags captured In the Civil war.
There are between five and six hun
dred of them. besides one hundred
Union flags which fell into Confederate
hands and were surrendered at the
close Of the struggle. This act Is an
expression of goodwill voluntarily
given, in n resolution of Congress
passed at the last session.
Not long after the war Charles Sum-
ner moved in the Senate to have the
names of victories won from the Con-
federates removed from the regimental
colcrs of the United States troops. But
the conauerors were not ready for such
a display of magnanimity, and We're ir-
ritated by such a proposition. The ac-
ton was severely censured by the leg
| islature of Summers own State.
In 1887 a proposition to return the
captured flags was received with great
excitement, even fury. The South,
which had not asked for the trophies,
did not wish to receive them from un-
willing hands, and commented on the
situation in dignified press article.
"Let the North keep the flags if she
wants them. The peace and goodwill
their return would hasten will come
In Gods good time. The war is over
its results are fixed, its passions dead
and its heroisms and sacrifices have
bound the people together as never be-
fore"
At the time of this flag furry" as
1t was called, writer In the Magazine
Of American History tells of his visit
| to the much-talked-Of banners.
"They were stored in little room
under the roof of the War Department
room hardly ten feet square. About
half the flags were attached to poles
as they had been taken in battle. No
a flag in the room but had history
recorded by their keeper. All were
soiled and riddled by bullets; some
were shot into tatters. Their appear
ance was significant Of the history ol
the war.
'gThe captured Union flags, on clean
polished poles, were Of silk and rlcl
material, showing abundance Of re
source. The majority Of Confederate
flags were of cheap bunting, ant
mounted on rude, Embarked saplings
cut from the woods during marches
telling Of blockades and pinching day
Of poverty"
To-day the feeling that accompanie
the return Of the flags is very differen
from that expressed twenty years ago
1t is considered an emphasis Of the fac
that the North and South are truly on
people with one love Of country.

ON The LOOKOUT
FOR "ACADEMICS'
CIICAGOAN SAYS THEY MAKE
BEST BUSINESS MEN.
Is Visiting Universities and Colleges in
Search Of Young Men with "Gen-
eral," Rather than Technical
Education, to Accept Positions with
His Electric Company.

According to o. Dickinson Street Of
Chicago, business men are gradually ar
irving at the conclusion that college
men give the best satisfaction as en-
ployees. Mr.. Street is making a tour
Of the universities Of the country in the
interests Of big electric company of
Chicago, a firm which is Offering en-
ployment to seniors in academic col
leges who seem to possess the require
ments desired by the firm.
As result of Mr.. Streets recent
visit to the University Of Minnesota,
academic seniors are laughing at their
engineer classmates, who have not been
backward in expressing their opinions
that the college man wanted in the
business world was the technical ana
not the academic student. Not man
in any other department than the aca-
demic was offered position with the
company, which is building up a system
in which college men are given the de-
cided preference.
I: In discussing his reasons for visiting
the colleges, Mr.. Street said:
The managers of this electric com
pany are fully convinced, after great
deal OF experience, that the man who
has gone thru the academic course in a
reputable college will make the best
men in the firm. We have branch Of
hces IN all the principal cities OF the
United States, and college men are
wanted to fill the positions as managers
in these offices. Of course, some pre-
liminary training is necessary, and the
men are started at the bottom an6
given chance to work up, but notwith
standing the fact that the college mar
is older than the usual applicant for 6
start in the business, it is the firm be-
lief of the managers of the company
that he makes the best man in the
business. We take only academic sen
iors who have received a general a'nt
not technical education, and altho il
some cases the men have failed, thu
company is fully satisfied that the col
lege-m man idea is the right one.'
Several university seniors were of
considering them. -
