ROMANCE OF TWO CADETS.
Friendship Maintained. Though Fate
Made Them Enemies


Two cadets roomed together at
West Point from September. 1857. un-
IN they were graduated in June. 1861.
In the summer encampment they tent
ed together. Their ranks in the class
alternated. standing one 20. the other
p, and then reversing their relation
through their whole academic career.
They we're known in the academy as
Number Twenty and Number
Twenty-one." although their names
we're George A. Custe-. Of Ohio. and
John W. Lea. Of North Carolina
At the outbreak Of the civil war Lea
resigned and entered the Confederate
service as a subaltern in the Fifth
North Carolina infantry. At the bat
tie Of Williamsburg. on May 5. 1852.
he was severely wounded and taken
prisoner. Custer. Ike Lea, a captain.
was attached 10 Hancock's brigade on
stan duty. He FASTENED to his old
comrades assistance. ministered to
his wants. snd secured his provisional
release on parole.
In August, 1862. when the army OF
the Potomac was withdrawn from the
peninsula by Gen. Mcclellan. Capt
Lea. still suffering from his wounds.

promoted TO a post on Gen. McClel-

best man at the wedding. which was
TO take place early the next morning.
Custer accepted. and remained the
guest of Lea and his friends that
night and the next day. going to camp
long enough only 10 dress for the we'd
ding. Capt. Lea wore bright new
Confederate uniform. while Capt. Gus
ter wore the full uniform OF a captain
Of the union army. Il was a novel and
romantic wedding. probably one Of the
few OF its kind that occurred during
the war. Capt Lea had never met his
destined bride until after he was
wounded. He had beer carried to her
house, and her tender nursing had
helped to bring him back to life
After being exchanged. Lea reiosned
his regir {. and though arrayed
against O. .er in battles the two
never met until the surrender at Ap-
pomatiox. Custer Immediately after
the surrender rode into the southern
lines, and capturing" his friend. took
him to his headquarters. That was
the last time they were together. Lea
became an Episcopal clergyman and
died IN the discharge OF he duties OF
that sacred calling. The fate OF Gus

He was always kind to helpless or
distressed things, vet. being a pirate
he had TO do some swearing though it
quite different from just common land
swearing which of course is very wick
ed indeed He told me a good deal
about the first kind one day while he
sat on the sharp-edged barrel with its
head knocked in. He said it was not
wfckedness but necessity made the sail
or swear-that you couldn't keep the
finest ship ever built on straight
course. without swearing at her.
Then he very kindly explained the
mea ming of some Of their swear words.
For instance. he said, to call man in
anger a "son of sea cook meant gen
orally few days in a hospital for the
one who did the calling To blast
mans eyes-just a plain BLAST your
eyesl' meant don't do that again. or
I'll lick you: but to blast his ttarry
toplights" meant he was far enough
out of your reach to keep you from
breaking every bone in his body, as
you'd ike to do. He also remarked
that if any sailor was ever known as
''Bilgewater Jack. or Bill that didn't
mean that he was the dandy or the
"howlin' swell" of the ship. AS to the
land swears. he scarcely ever used
them: and I used to think that if he
had susperders and didn't have to hitch
his trousers so much. perhaps he
wouldn't swear at all-Clara Morris in

ENFORCE Law AFTER AUGUST I
The Cattle Shipment Law Will Then BE
in Effect

Washington. Aug. Secretary Viii
son, of the department of agriculture,
has set August as the date on which
he viii begin a rigid enforcement of the
act providing for an extension of the
time for unloading and feeding cattle i'll
transit from twenty-eight TO thirty-six
hours
All the provisions with regard to the
old twenty-eight hour law remain in
force except that the time for unloading.
feeding and watering stock is extended
to thirty-siX hours. The cardinal point
is the provision that cattle cannot be
| carried by the roads beyond twenty
eight hours unless by the written con-
sent of the owners.
The secretary intends to assess the
maximum penalty for each violation of
the law and has so informed the rail-
roads by letter. Another important fea :
ture is the provision relating to the
proper treatment of cattle during the
time of unloading and reloading. The
unloading for rest and feed must be
under sanitary conditions, in covered
pens of ample capacity. free of mud
and filth. and cattle must be provided
with proper provender and clean bed
