YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways Of War Were a New Thing ia
His Understanding.

At the Army and Navy club in
Washington a number of veteran off,
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote of Gen.
Carr, who died in New York some
years ago:
It appears that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command Of a regiment.
The engagement in which, as colonel,
he first figured was at Big Bethel. His
regiment had been halted for rest
and refreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
element of a skirmish. 1t happened
however, that confederates were in
ambush in the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the n~ortherners.
Carr, SO the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
a group of officers. Excitement and
bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.
"They are firing upon my regi-
ment!" he shouted. my God! Now
what is to be done?"-Harper's
Weekly.

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has trav.
eled much and deserved closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage. Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
n inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than q dream. Here. still existent,
I'M by reason Of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with IRE
sistible force to the independent-spir-
ited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler Of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem
mime ,helpmeet; bringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world. save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely In
return. He lives In a latitude where
the extremes Of heat or cold are never
KNOWN, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but 1t is a
question whether he more than dimIy
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every Guilty..
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for.
ests of valuable woods and the under.
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds Of miles to find. He is con-
tented, but small credit is his for that.
for how could he well be otherwise
thai content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but 1t is written that the pres
ent p-ossessors of this favored land
must o give place to others more
appreciative Of its Incompatible fea-

way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So 1t has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by a class of immigrants
better capable of judging it's POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the LAY of the land
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-.
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

GOOD NIGHTS sLEEP
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day

when I started on Grape-Nuts,
