MY LOVE.

A rover am 1 and a lover bold, And the earth is my lady fair. love her in every shape and guise, And I sing of her beauties rare. I brave the fierce storm on the mountain
 top.
 And shout to the sentinel pine, Hurrah, hurrah. you are keeping the faith, And guarding this dear love of mine. With snowshoe and skee and sharp skate
 of steel,
 We fly like the swift arrow by, And race with the reindeer to lay at her
 feet
 Our offerings, Old Winter andI. Far out on the prairie and upland plain. Where the wild western winds blow free. I watch brave summer with flowers and
 grain.
 Weave chaplets to lay at her knee. The inland lakes in emerald frames. And margins of silver and gold, Are mirrors whose lifelong efforts are vain To picture the charms they behold. old ocean Is raging in futile wrath, And flashing his waves into foam. Though tossing his kisses and gifts at her
 feet, > Alas! he no farther can come. And then under palms meath the Southern
 stars,
 She's queen in jeweled crown. worship all day and dream all the night, And treasure her verfest frown. irene Pomeroy Shields. in Recreation

Secretary Taft had a talk this week with an interesting individual of Iowa who had just come back from Panama and who while not of the secretary's camp, and d.. close friend of former Chief Engineer Wal lace, had quite as much good as i.l to say of the Panama enterprise. The gentleman in question was Bart E. Linehan. He has been a business as-
 sociate of MT Wallace for years and
 frequently has to go to the isthmus on business. He knows conditions in that part of the world fairly we'll
 and the fact that with his personal
 prejudice he still finds something good to say of the canal management ought to be a satisfaction to the government. Mir Linehan told Sec retary Taft that there were some spots on the zone that still needed cleaning up. AS rule the sanitary conditions were good, but the negro laborers. especially those from Ja- maica, were lazy and not efficient to the extent of more than a third of their wages. They were naturally dirty and in a good many places were living in a state of filth that would give good food for another outbreak of disease. The work as a whole was in Q good state of prepar- ation for actual work to begin and while there was a modicum of dissar- isfied clerks and employes, the gen eral tone of the force was good. There was some grating in small things, but nothing that the govern ment could not remedy. and the az engagements of the Panama railway for the handling of freight ani tle docking facilities at both ends Of the canal were unusually efficient. This statement coming from a con- fessed enemy Of the present regime and from a man who has seen enough of the work to know what he is talking of, ought to sound very well to the present canal administration.

CAPT. GURLEY TELLS OF DEATH
OF GENERAL DANIEL MCOOK

Captain Hambrick and Captain Gurley
and men continued in pursuit of the enc
my. In about d half mile they ran into
a divided column of Federal infantry,
which did not fire at them although COM
| pany C passed the head of the column.
Seeing the situation, Captain Gurley
ordered retreat, then reporting to the
| commanding officer. There WAS no further
fighting. Captain Gurley says: Why We
were not pursued we never knew, ana
thought strange the federal cavalry should
abandon their commanding officer GEN
eral McCook had been left presumably,
to protect railroads in the rear of the
federal army that had moved toward
Chattanooga to intercept General Bragg S
advance into Kentucky. McCooks last
eneampment had been in and near Athens
and he was moving towards Winchester,
Tenn, to Join the federal army with his
brigade to pursue Bragg.
Captain Hambrick had ordered the
wounded general to be taken to the near
est private house. DR.. Steger says: Il
think Mr. Crutcher's." He was attended
by his own surgeon and staff officer, and
the family did all they could to give re-
lief. Soon afterward smoke was seen in
several directions and 1t was learned that
the federals were burning the houses of
citizens along the road. Captain Hunter
Brooke, u. S. A., who was a prisoner,
suggested to Captain Hambrick that he
should be permitted, under guard, to go
and use his influence to stop the wanton
destruction. He was sent with Lieutenant
Gibson as guard and did succeed at the
time This from DR.. Steger: But after
General McCoolS's death, which was in
twenty four hours, the entire premises of
those who had sheltered him was burned
and destroyed, and a sick man, rs years
old, with the ladies and children of his
family were made homeless"
Capt. Hunter Brooke was held for about
two weeks and then exchanged for
Confederate officer Of equal rank. A few
days after this incident Captain Gurley
and troop, passing through Huntsville,
were received as heroes, cheers, tears
and flowers were showered on them even
Captain Gurley's horse was wreathed with
flowers the whole community joining in
the laudations The troop remained two
or three weeks in North Alabama and
then joined the three companys some
where in middle Tennessee and were or
ganzed with a battalion under Captain
Russell (by General Forres) iFto the
Fourth Alabama cavalry, and remained
under Generals Wheeler and Forrest until
surrendered by the former at Gainesville,
Ala, May, 1855
What Captain Gurley suffered after his
capture some time later, aye. even after
peace, as 1t was called, would take an
other paper to relate. After our own
President and Secretary c. c. Clay, I
suppose no Confederate soldier suffered
more than our own gallant captain. I,
myself. know how he refused money, even
gold, as scarce as 1t was at that time, for
the corn and hogs on his p1aee. saving 1t
for those who had followed him into the
war and the widows and children of those
who had been killed in his company.

For First Time Personal Account of Tragedy Near Hunts

ing history It was in the spring of 1862,
soon after the return of the two COM
panies to North Alabama, Captain Ham
| brick in command by right of seniority.
Here again I quote from Captain Gurley:
q learned by slipping around among the
few people who would take the risk of
being my friends, that drove of beef
cattle had been taken from the citizens
of Limestone and Madison counties by
the federal troops and would pass along
the Limestone and Winchester road about
a certain time" Captain Hambrick, sixty
six men all told. thought as the road
on which the cattle would pass was
through a barren woods they might scatter
the cattle and pick up quite a number
of them the stolen cattle being quite
a loss to the citizens.
Going north they reached the Limestone
road, when Captain Hambrick halted the
command and Captain Gurley was or
dered to move west to see If the cattle
had yet passed. They soon came in sight
of some Federal soldiers in the distance.
the captain and men would retire, the
enemy following. When they would stop,
the blue coats would do the same, thus
tolling them until they were in firing
distance, then the shooting began. Soon
the Federals gave back, they shooting
back and the Confederate at them, Tho
dust soon became so thick that they
could see only the hlndmost men, This
continued for about one-fourth of milo,
when a school wagon, going at full speed,
came in sight. Soon the wagon ran under
some overhangng limbs tearing off the
top The wagon was driven by negro.
Two white men we're on the back seat.
One was in full uniform and the other in
his shirt sleeves. Captain Gurley was In
advance of his troop, with Lieut.. I. p.
Gurley, his brother; F. b. Gill, James
Mason and James Campbell following
closely. When within about fifty yards
Captain Gurley fred three shots really,
as he says, shooting at the officer In
uniform. The wagon was halted and ON
reaching it they found that the man
with his coat off had been wounded, one
ball passing through his body. Now as
tie shooting had been at the man in uni
form, supposing him the only officer,
the killing of General McCook was an
accident. When the rest of the command
came up Captain Gurley turned the
wounded man, who proved to be Cen
eral McCook, his STAFF officer, Captain
Hunter Brooke, and the wagon over to
