disrepute largely through the evil courses of the
managers or perhaps small minority of them, for
undoubtedly the affairs of many corporations have
been conducted with a scrupulous regard for public
obligations and for the rights of the smallest and
most obscure stakeholder. Extreme remedies have
been proposed, extending even to species OF
nhilism which would destroy any human instru-
mentality which did work perfectly, govern
ment itself
The corporation, however, rightly conducted,
is of great benefit to society. 1t has been
compared to the walled town of the middle ages
into which scattered individuals whom the great
barons would have reduced to subsection fed and
by combining together behind the protection of
the walls were able to exist free men instead
of as vassals. Works of great magnitude could
be carried only by the very rich and certainly
could not be participated in by the man of small
means, unless through the nstrumentalty of cor
porate shares he could combine with many others

The command came from General Hagood
The Generals horse had been shot under
him in the beginning of the assault From
a distance he had seen the Union officer ride
up to the color guard Then, with astonish-
ment and fury, he had seen the surrender of
the flag. He rushed forward and intercepted
the rider, who slackened his pace, whereupon
the General seized the horse by the curb and
brought it to an abrupt stand
General Hagood drew his pistol and thrust
it at the others chest. Give that

The Federal Captain stared at him as if in

Wonderful Effrontery of Soldier
nN the Union side there was one man who dis

saw that If moment was lost IN bringing about their
formal surrender, could tell what the out
of the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry. He flung him
self on horse and instantly plunged through one
of the sally ports at about the center of the line of
works. Galloping up to the Confederate color
guard, and pulling up his horse, he held out his
right hand, and with perfect composure demanded
the surrender of the flag.
The peremptory command, together with the
reaching out his hand in quiet, natural manner
for the colors of the Palmetto regiment, at once
convinced those in the group about the flag that
something terrible must have happened. 1t did
not occur to any of them to credit Daley with
ten times the courage and effrontery of ordinary
soldier. They Immediately supposed that they had
been cut off by force of Union cavalry coming up

General!' he uttered. The other Confederate bri-
gades had retreated and left the field. Hagoods alone
remained. And from the left of the intrenchment
there moved out at a double quick column of men
in blue uniforms to cut off their retreat. " You
had better surrender to yourself, he ended.
Once more, sir! Will you give up that fag?"
Hagood shouted
The Climax of Bravery
NEVER" Daley exclaimed and tried to put his
horse in motion. But at the same instant the
Generals bullet struck him in the breast AS his
body fell backward, Hagood grasped the staff from
his hand, mounted the horse, and riding swiftly
along his lines, ordered the retreat.
The accepted history of the Virginia campaign of
"a wastes only few words upon this battle. We
read that, General Hagood's BRIGADE being nearly
surrounded close upon works, thought
they had surrendered and ceased firing, but when
officers advanced to bring them in their officers
commenced firing And in the mixed condition of
the two forces most of the enemy that is to say, of
Hagood's Carolinians, escaped.
Histories do not deal in incidents of incompatible
bravery. So there is nothing astonishing in there
being no mention of Captain Daley exploit. The
really surprising thing is that his is not to be
found upon the rolls of the Medal of Honor. The
fact is that the matter would never have been made
public all if that pistol shot in the right breast had
killed the daring man, instead of only woundng him
severely. Twenty years after the war, this conse-
quence of his heroism at last disabled him. SO that he
the story told for the first time, supported, in
legal form by the affidavit of General Hagood which
closes:
His act the bravest that have ever known
in military annals Nor was it act of mere ncon-
siderate rashness; for, in my deliberate Judgment,

General Lees Plan

GENERAL LEE determined to break and capture
- this line of Entertainments at point not far from
ancient road house, called the Yellow Tavern
The early morning hour set for the attack, and
long before the first flush of dawn cavalry guns, and
foot the move.
From the very beginning some confusion per-
meated the attacking force. 1t too dark at first
for marching, and the constant hating in the wet
meadows and miry roads exasperated the men
Some one ordered buger mounted on a white
horse, to ride directly in front of regiment of infan
try. Whether the buger fell fast asleep waiting for
the infantry to close up, or whether the on
foot dozed off while watching him, daylight found
huge gaps in the alignment of the troops.
General Johnston Hagood whose South Carolina
regiments held the extreme right of the line of
tack, that all the advantages of the sudden,
concentrated assault planned by General Lee
irretrevably lost The figures of the men in
blue showed everywhere along the earthwork alert
ready, manning the batteries. Suddenly in the dis
tance was heard the explosion of Confederate art-
lery. Without delaying to reform his regiments,
General Hagood ordered charge.
Between this brigade and the trenches spread an
undulating meadow which they crossed in safety,
until suddenly the meadow gave place to a straight,
level highway smooth and bare, affording not the
slightest protection from the muskets and cannon
of the Federals who instantly opened flaming volleys

1.-TWO officers, Northerner and Southerner,
once faced each other under extra
ordinary circumstances between the
armies. The question decided simply by their
single courage was the surrender of famous
fighting regiment This incident took place
during the movement against Richmond in
the summer of "a, the campaign, slow,
bloody, and agonizing, made famous by
General Grants despatch, Il propose to fight
it out on this line if it takes all summer.
After the breaking up of winter, when the
Northern army crossed the Rapidan and adj
vanced upon the Rebel forces in their intrench-
ments, the two armies had almost constantly
breathed an atmosphere saturated with gun
powder. They had traversed ravines and
morasses and fought the Battle of the Wilder
ness in a limitless thicket of cedar and pine
and stunted oak trees. The woods caught fire
and burned around them; it was impossi-
BILE to distinguish the soldiers of the oppos-
ing army more than a few yards away; officers
and men became separated for long periods
of time, nor could any commands have been
heard above the frightful crash of muslletry;
and in the appalling confusion of the battle
the wounded were left behind So on to the
bitter and stubborn hand to hand fighting at
Spottsvlvania the Bloody Angle, the battle
spirit famed up in each individual soldier.
One does not soon forget such an occur
renee as this. A score of Confederates in the
breastwork threw down their muskets, and
paving no attention to the remonstrances
of their comrades, leaped upon the ram
part, holding up their arms in the smoke
laden fog as sign that they surrendered.

Union soldiers ceased firing and called out to

After such experiences, considerably shaken in
nerve the Confederate army slowly fell back to
Petersburg while Grant drew forward his lines and
his Entertainments close around the city.

RESENTED EVEN WISE ADVICE.
Legend illustrating Superstition ei
RussIan Peasant

An almost superstitious value Is at
tached to the possession OF land by
the poor Russian peasant There is
a parallel In the old eastern story OF
Nasr Eddin Hodga. He met peas
ant one day with q donkey, over
whose back hung two sacks, one filled
with stones, the other with wheat,
the stones having been added to bal.
ancs the wheat. Why not divide the
wheat into two parts instead?" Sug.
gested Nasr Eddin Hodga. Delighted
with the idea, the peasant did as he
was advised, and hung the two sacks
OF wheat over the donkey's back,
And where are your lands, 0 wise
stranger" he asked, humbly. Il have
no lands answered the other. Your
estates, then, and your palaces?' in
quired the peasant Il have none, -
said the other. Then your houses,
your gardens, your orchards?" persist.
ed the man, amazed. What" cried
the outraged peasant. DO you, who
have no lands and no possessions,
presume to give advice to me!" and
he unloaded the donkey, rearranged
the wheat and stones as before, and
proceede ed ON his way.

SNAKE STORIES POINT MORAL
n Nothing Else, They Show Folly Of

One OF the significant features OF

season that occurs which is every

blacksnakes that are seen. This is
not at all remarkable, for about the
only thing blacksnake has to show
for itself is It's length. II has no musi.
cal tail like the rattlesnake, nor the
puffed-out head OF the kissing viper,
nor the liyid, languid manners OF the
housesnake-it has only length, and
when with amazing speed 1t whips
through the deep grass or dead leaves,
II seems to be 80 or 40 feet long.
So truly does this little Illusion ex.

summer, and We have not encountered
a snake under seven feet.

Diaqina Coal Under the Sea.

Up in Cape Breton island, where
there are a number of collieries, dig
ging out coal from under the sea, the
submarine area thus undermined now
amounts to about 16 ordinary farms Of
100 acres each. The outer end of the
hole is something over mile from
the shore. Strange as 1t may seem.
the workings have never been invaded
by sea water, although fresh water
streams have been encountered flow
ing out in the strata under the ocean
bed. The thickness of strata over the
mines varies from 500 to LAO feet.
About 5.250,00O tons of coal have thus
far been taken from these submarine
workings and there is as yet no indl-
cation of failure of the beds.
