horses feet and continued his journey.
AT 1880 O'Clock no serious trouble was
reported by either of the telegraph com
panles or the telephone company, but it
was feared some of the lines might fall
pelore evening. The ice appeared to he
getting thicker on the wires and with the
increasing weight the danger of the wires
breaking increased. The lack of wind and
sleet decreased the danger Of wire trouble
The Western Union had reports from as
far west as Salt Lake City, but no serious
trouble was reported at any point and all
lines were reported in working order. No
sleet was falling at any point.
Miikmen who started out early on their
routes had a strenuous time Some in
genious ones supplied themselves With
sunny sacks. with which they bound their

The sleet which covered the city Monday
caused considerable inconvenience to pc
destrtans and horses. People were sliding
around town like trying to walk in dlgni-
fled manner and transact business at the
same time. Most Of the downtown pave
ments were early covered with sawdust
and ashes and along about noon the heat
from the buildings melted the icy coating
and relieved the situation.
The Humane society officers were I'M
usually busy. Superintendent Ellison was
assisted by Officers Clauson and Woodbridge
and George A Danforth in the protection
OF horses. Mr.. Ellison reported at noon
that the society had caused nifty teams &c
be unhitched and sent TO blacksmith shops
while n some instances shoes were re-
moved from horses and sacking tied on
the feet for temporary relief
Mr. Danforth confined his labors en-.

The sleet which was half an inch thick
all over the pavements, was harder on the
horses than on the pedestrians Many
teams were started out boldly by their
owners. but soon all over the city were to
be seen unattached wagons from which the
horses had been unhitched and taken 20
the shoers. Horses stalled on every little
incline. for the sleet was frm and refused
10 yield footing.
Although all the horses Of the Adams

they were unable TO get down the incline

History Of the Laurel Brigade

The editor returns thanks to Mr..
Bushrod c. Washington, of Charles
Town, for a copy of A History of
the Laurel Brigade, originally the
Ashby Cavalry, Army of Northern
Virginia, and Chew's Battery"
The book is from the pen of the
late Capt. William n. Mcdonald,
Of Berryville. and contains an ex-
cellent portrait of the author, as
wcllas many other of the prominent
figures in the different commands
comprising the Laural Brigade.
The volume is possibly the only
wartime history which gives a
general history of the cavalry cam
paigns of the Army of Northern
Virginia, and for that reason, and
the added fact that is contains a
complete roster of the officers and
men In the various commands of
the Brigade, is especially valuable.
The book bears the imprint of
the Baltimore Sun Job Office, : d
is well printed and handsomely
bound. 1t can be secured forS3. 90,
net, by addressing b. G. Washing
ton, Lock Box 46, Charles Town.
w. Va.
1t is really one of the most in
teresting war time volumes we
have ever read, and the reader
never loses his interest from the
time of perusi ng the preface until
he turns the last page.
it deserves a place in the library
of every eX Confederate or his
descendants.

ALL HALL0W EVE. -
a Tradition Handed Down From the
Ancient Druids.

a Tradition Handed Down From the
Ancient Druids.
The observance OF Halloween. or
All Hallow eve. is a tradition handed
down from the ancient Druids. who
celebrated their harvest festival on the
last day OF October The next day
was Al HaIlows' or All Saints day.
and so they called the festival All
Halloween.
The gay games OF modern times are
not much like the solemn rites of the
Druids. but connection may be traced
between the supernatural beliefs Of
the ancients and the burlesQue at
tempts to pry into the mysteries of the
future which our own Halloween fun
represents.
Long after the time OF the Druids
simple minded country people contin-
ued TO believe in charms and witch
craft and especially claimed that on
the night OF Oct 81 witches and COB
Inns held revel and fairies danced
about In the woods. From these spir-
its or their manifestations ii was be-
lieEed that the future could be fore
As our celebration OF the occasion is
merely a whimsical adaptation OF all
this, there is one thing clear at the
outset-to successful Halloween par
ty the young guests must bring n large
stock OF imagination, zest for merri-
ment and an unfailing fund of good
humor, for many Halloween tricks
result in turning the laugh on one or
another. and this must be accepted in
n gay, good natured spirit. Old fash
Toned Halloween parties were held in
the kitchen, and where this is prac-
ucabie 1t Is good place for many of
the games. But all of the rooms used
should be decorated with trophies OF
the harvest. Pumpkins. apples. grain
stalks and autumn leaves offer ma
terials for beautiful and effective trim
ming, and If desired draperies of red
and yellow cheesecloth and ornamental
lions OF red and yellow Grape paper
may be added. Jack-o'lanterns are of
course a necessity.-Carolyn Wells in

Weiahtina a Horses Stern

Some of the officers and men OF n
vessel once anchored in the harbor OF
Funchal, Madeira, went ashore for n
horseback ride around the island.
About halfway up the mountain we
came across n little mizzentopman,
flushed and evidently very warm, rid
Ing spirited little horse with n stone
tied up in silk handkerchief slung TO
his tail.
The first lieutenant laughed and said,
What are you doing with that hand
kerchief, BrownT
why, Won see. SIR said Brown,
"that when first hitched her up she
pitched badly, being too much by the
head, so / just rugged this stone on aft
and brought her down to her bearings
and she sails now like n clipper, SIR
