WHOLE REGIMENT CAPTURED.
Judge Allen Relates Story of Blood
less Victory.

Judge Henry Clay Allen, of circuit
court, participated in the capture of
a regiment of confederate soldiers,
and there was hardly a shot fred in
the whole performance.
IF it had happened during the Span
ish-Ame-:can the people of the coun-
try would never have got through
talking about it, and yet it was not
SO common in the days of the civil
war for one regiment to capture an
other without the firing single shot.
But in those days there. were too
many things for the newspapers to
talk about, and the incident was bare
ly mentioned said Judge Allen.
1T was near Alexandria, La, in
1864. A lot of US fellows, all infantry
men, had been mounted on old nags
We picked up away down South there.
We were advancing cautiously and
sort of beating the confederates out
Of the bushes, when suddenly we came
upon a battery in the road ahead of
US. And there we stopped.
That night we mounted those old
horses, 80 of US all told, with Captain
Jake Smith in command, and made a
long detour by which we were to
come up to the rear of the battery.
We were followed at distance by
regiment of infantrymen on foot, and
we had orders to surround any sentry
we might meet and to hold him as
prisoner. So the so of US rode along
in row, ten feet apart. 1t was so
dark that we could not see the horses
next to US.
ON we rode without encountering
any one until we heard what sounded
like whole regiment of mounted men
coming down the road ahead of us.
We halted and waited. When they

confederate captain and his so mount
ed picked men
when we were through with these
fellows we proceeded to capture the
battery, and there we had some real
fighting for little bit, but it didn t
last long One or two of them had to
be convinced with bayonets and there
was some firing. But we got the bat
terry, men, guns and all
That firing at the battery awak-
ened the officers who were sleeping in
big house a short distance away,
and one of them, think he was q col
onel, came running out toward the
battery. Some distance away he call
ed:
What's all this shooting about?'
But he did not wait for a reply.
He saw what had happened and he
hurried back to the house. He haa

and suppose that he must have grab
bed his clothes as he went through the
house again, but whether he got them
or not he took to a dense woods on
the other side of the house and we
never saw him again. But we got the
rest of the officers.
And when all the men were in the
bull pen'-there must have been 500
or COO of them all told-we marched
them back across little creek a short
distance away and established camp
there so that we would have advant-
age of the bridge in defending our
camp in case reinforcements happen
ed to be on the way to this point. But
we had no such trouble. We got away
with those prisoners and it was all be-
cause that confederate captain ad-
vanced to give the countersign instead
of ordering US to send a man to him,
as he should have done 1 really

were close enough Jake called a halt.
Advance and give the counter
sign, he commanded.
We'll, sir, it was the most foolish
thing 1 ever heard of an officer doing,
but the captain in charge of that
squad of confederates obeyed that or
der. We learned afterward that the
men in charge of the captain were on
their way to an outside picket line
AS the captain approached he sup
posed, of course, that we were confed-
crate soldiers Jake got the magic
word, then the confederate captain
felt a revolver pressed close against
his temple.
You move and I'll blow your
brains OUT Jake said.
The man surrendered his com
mand. We approached and surround
ed his men. There were so of them
as many as there were of US And
they were the maddest lot of men you
ever saw in your life. But the captain
surrendered them They called him
coward. 1 have often wondered since
that time what ever became of him.
We ordered them to give up their
arms, and for a little bit there seemed
to be trouble ahead, for when the men

and raining, and l suppose none of the
guns would have gone off if we had
tried to do any shooting, though one
of our men, a boy of IL, did level his
gun at one of them who refused to
surrender, and he pulled the trigger,
but the gun failed to go off. But they
finally dropped their guns in the mud
or handed them over and six or eight
of US marched the 80 back to the regi-
ment- The regiment formed sort of
hollow square-the bull pen, we call
ed it-and we marched the 80 into the
pen.
Regiment Falls In.
Then all of US marched on into the
camp. Jake had the countersign. Get
ting it was easy And when we got
into camp it was all too easy to be
called war. We simply ordered the
men to fall in and they did. 1 shall
never forget how one of those fellows
acted. 1 told him to fall in and he
started to obey, but he insisted on
leading a bony old horse with him.
Finally 1 turned to him and said:
=" FAN in here, Hurry, Don't you
know you are prisoner
He looked at me like he had awak-
ened from dream. He had asked no
questions He supposed we were con-
federate officers and that the camp
was to be moved, 1 suppose All
through that performance there was
hardly a shot fired and there was so
little noise that some of the confeder-
ates who had been left on picket duty
didn't know that the regiment they
belonged to had been captured

Forgetting Something.

When the train that conveyed Pres
ident Roosevelt through Virginia on
his last trip south stopped at Char
1ottesville, a negro approached the
presidents car and passed aboard a
big basketful of fine fruit, to which
was attached the card of a prominent
grower.
In course of time the orchardist re
ceived a letter of acknowledgment
from the White House expressing the
presidents appreciation of the gift,
and complimenting the donor upon his
fruit. The recipient of the letter was,
of course, greatly pleased, and, feel
ing sure that his head gardener would
be much interested in the letter, he
read it to him. The darby who
served in the capacity mentioned lis
tened gravely, but his only comment
was:

To Europe via Hudson Rav.

The Manitoba government is pre-
pairing to finance a railroad line from
Winnipeg to a port on Hudson bay,
making short route to European
markets Some of the people of Man
itoba assert that the line would mean
a saving of several million dollars an
nually, the water route being a much
cheaper way to ship to Europe than
the long train haul across the conti-
nent. Reports from explorers who
have spent much time in Hudson bay
say there is open water for at least
six months in the year The railroad
from Winnipeg would be 500 or zoo
miles long, through a country difficult
for railroad building, owing TO many

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

HOWARD ON GRANT.
Former General Gives characteristics
and Incidents in Life of the
Great Commander.

Gen. Charles H. Howard, in his talk
at the Appomattox celebration of Co
lumbia post, told of many traits and
characteristics of Gen. Grant, with
whom the speaker served in the army
of the Tennessee. While testifying to
the well-knOwn reserve in speech OF
Gen. Grant, his former associate said
that the great general was by no
means an unsocial man.
Gen Grant was thoughtful of the
comfort and the feelings of the Off
GERS and men with whom he was in
contact" said Gen. Howard. He was
not, of course, lOquacious, nor was he
silent and uncommunicative. He talked
well and intelligently, and took his as
fsOciateS into his confidence as much
as was desirable or wise, for one in
his position. In battle he was a study
in the cool and sane conduct of the
situation.
AT the battle of Lookout mountain
l was carrying orders between him and
my division, and 1 was struck with the
perfect appreciation he had of the real
state of affairs in every part of the
field, field which stretched, remem-
Der, over miles of country. He never
forgot, when / gave him news, just
how the part of the movements 1 re-
ported had stood an hour, or two
hours, before.
The whole progress of the engage
ment was clearly in his mind, from its
beginning to the moment, and you may
be sure it was well outlined also as to
the succeeding hours and events OF
the battle.
Grant was never profane in his
speech. In all of my associating with
him-and l was closely associated
with him-I never heard him use an
oath, or swear at all. His repugnance
to vulgarity in language is well known.
He would not endure it in his pres
ence. His regard for others was
strong, and he was a patient man, but
there was limit to his patience. That
limit was reached, and he quickly
showed it, when any one began wag-
ging a loose or profane tongue in his
presence.
Although Grant was of direct, sim
pie speech and manners, careless in
his dress and never a stickler for ETH
quette, he had a natural and quiet dig
nifty which was felt by all with whom
he came in contact He never had to
assert himself. What he was showed

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and there
subjected to a continuous high tenn
perature, produced by the direct heat
of flame heated fues, which brings out
in the tobacco that stimulating taste
and aroma that expert roasting de-
velops in green coffee. These similar
processes give to both tobacco and
coffee the cheering and stimulating
quality that popularizes their use.
