John Parkinson and wife
were about to get into the
buggy to come fifteen miles
to Miller to the funeral of
their little grandson when
they saw wolves enter their
sheep pasture. To proceed
on to the funeral meant the
possible destruction of a
large number of the sheep,
and to protect the sheep
meant that they would be
late to the funeral. The
matter was compromised by
turning the dogs loose upon
the wolves and running
them down for two miles,
letting them go with this
scare and proceeding on to
the funeral.

Sec. of War Taft was at
Sioux Falls last Sunday en-
route from St. Paul to Fort
Meade. He seems to have
been closely guarded by
Seuator Kittredge who
gave him a breakfast at the
Cataract hotel, refusing to
invite Gov. Crawford to the
feast, although an enemy
of long standing of the gov
ernor, G. M. Day, was in
vited. Gov. Crawford ought
to have been given first place
in all the functions in en-
tertaining the secretary, be-
cause he is governor, and
a polished gentleman and
an orator, of whom the peo-
are proud. He should have
been invited to welcome Mr.. |
Taft to the state with a
speech. We fail to see how
Mr.. Taft enjoyed that aris-
tocratic breakfast if he
knew the governor and his
associates outside who have
the majorities were being
snubbed. !

he could take the stage promising to leave the horse
there. Arriving at Clarksburg he found that the
stage had gone, and acquaintance urged him to
ride to the next town, where there was long
wait, offering to send for the horse and return
it to its owner. But Jackson had promised to
leave the horse there, he considered himself bound
to do it, and taking his baggage he started foot
over the muddy road The boy with such regard
for his promises naturally developed into man
stinacy; but at any rate it was among the strong
qualities which led him great victories. 1t

boy through till he fully proved the accuracy of his
estimates. But have often heard those who were
with him at West Point talk of the shy, grave

IN HE first time that I came
intimately in contact
with Stonewall Jackson
was when General Pick

EFT lay wounded at his
home in Richmond just after the battle of
Gaines's Mill. Jackson came to see him and to
ask after his welfare.
General Whiting of Jackson's command had
lost his way coming into the battle, and not
knowing where to find General Jackson, had
reported to Longstreet, who put his brigade
little in the rear. of Pickett's men, so that the
two commands together made the assault
which broke the enemy's lines. The two men
were discussing the charge, when Pickett, who
always deplored the loss of life, expressed his
grief over the death of certain gallant officers
and so many soldiers. Jackson replied
General Pickett, we are fighting to save the
country, not the army. fight to win, no mat
ter how many are killed. And another thing,
we don't want any prisoners We can't feed
and clothe our own men,.
While they were talking, mint iu1epS were
brought in; but Jackson declined, saying:
Il never touch strong drink. l like it too
well to fool with it, and no mans strength is
strong enough to enable him to touch the stuff
with safety"
Later in the war, when he was i'll and the
physician told him that whisky was necessary
to his recovery, he still refused.
His Opinion of Dogs
A PET dog belonging to General Pickett's
n sister came into the room with her. and
going over to General Jackson laid it's head on
his knee and looked up into his face. Jackson
pushed back its ears and patted its head By
way OF thanking him said tlmldly:
Il see you love dogs"
Does man ever love dogs?" he asked so
seriously that it frightened me; but l was
bound that l wouldn't surrender and replied
Dogs love you, anyway"
In spite of proper introductions, General
Jackson chung to the impression that General
Pickett's sister and l were sisters, and as he
was going away remarked to General Pickett:
Your two sisters are not very much alike"
Though General Picketts wound was serious
and he was suffering intensely, General lack
son did not once express the slightest sympathy;
he only deplored General Pickett's absence
from his command when it needed him. When
he had gone General Pickett said:
Jackson classes ali who are weak or starving
as lacking in patriotism, and suppose he thinks
/ am lacking in it to have been wound
He never valued life where he had an objec
accomplish but his soldiers believed in him
obeyed him to the death. He always gave his or

Jackson.
He was strongly averse to expressions of

clared that if the class had re-
manned at the academy one year
longer Jackson would have been at the head
Like so many of the great soldiers of the
'6o's Jackson left the academy just in time to
receive his early training in actual battle in the
war with Mexico. How many friends and foes
who gained immortality in the war of the States
were comrades there! Jackson had the novel
distinction of being twice promoted in one day
in Mexico; once for standing by his cannon
after all his men had been killed or driven away
Later when he was professor at the Virginia
Military Institute one of the students asked
him why he did not run, and he replied:
If l had been ordered to run, / should have
done so; but l was commanded to hold the
position, and had no right to abandon it,
He always was embarrassed in the presence
of one of his own men, but was never at loss
before an opponent in the field, and modest as
he was he had faith enough in himself to be-
lieve that he knew better than anyone else how
to manage his own forces. Being ordered once
to send part of his division to distant point,
he obeyed promptly, but at once sent in his
resignation. There was a howl of protest, and
he was persuaded to withdraw his resignation;
but after that he was not annoyed by instruc-
lions from the War Department.

Cherot and the Park Amusement company are deserving of all the credit in giving Pine Bluff such delightful place of entertainment. The park will be open to the pub- lie every night and the films of the Auditorium will be changed frequently.
 Forest park bids fair to become almost a necessity of life with the people of Pine Bluff and no place of amusement could be more worthy of patronage.
 On every hand we hear the cry Greater Pine Bluff'' and everyone seems intent upon making this city not only the largest, but the most beautiful in the state and to further this end, all are willing to go to some expense. Now, the CO., operation of everyone, if directed in the right channel, will be power full factor in the upbuilding of the city.
 The right channel in which all this help should be directed is no hidden secret; it lies in four words which have been heard many times Patronage of home enterprises.
 Now. if any institution was ever worthy of patronage, it is one which helps to give visitors favorable impression of the city in which it is found and of all things of in- terest in this city which are likely to give such visitors favor able impressions, Forest park stands almost without a rival.
 John F. Rutherford, of the Park Amusement company, and one of the most progressive business men in the city, has spent over $12,- 900 in giving to Pine Bluff place of recreation to which every Pine Bluffian can point with pride. He has spared no money or effort in making this place the equal of those summer parks found in cities of the first rank and one look at this beautiful place satisfies any one that he has not striven in vain. Such enterprise is more than com mendable and is surely worthy of the most liberal patronage the people of Pine Bluff can bestow.

Some dealers in dairy supplies have in years past been associated with one or more of these creamery shark con- cer1s' and have backed them in their nefarious work. This has en- abled them to present all the ap- pearances of reliability. They are also able to present the usual bank endorsement of reliability from some far away city where their ac- count is handled. In many years they interest some leading mer- chant or banker, known to be public spirited, and this local bell wether is used to lead the flock of unsuspecting small fry merchants and farmers 0ho are seeking a higher mode of farming into a contract which, once signed, makes every man whose name is on the paper liable.

The formal opening of Forest park took place Friday night and banner crowd turned out to show it's appreciation of the good work which the Park Amusement conl- pany has lately been carrying on. For the past few weeks the park. with all of it's facilities for en- tertaining, has been thrown open to the public free of charge and it seemed that the crowd present wished to show its appreciation by their liberal patronage on the open ing night.
 The merry-go-round and the circling wave rendered the hot weather more bearable. The park was brilliantly lighted and the many colored lights, the music and the happy throngs gave the place quite a metropolitan air.
 A packed house greeted some oi the best moving pictures yet seen in the city. The film, "How the Of flee Boy Managed to See the Base ball Game" especially delighted the large audience. Mont Levey who has one of the best bass voices in the city, rendered a solo, which delighted everyone. A large brass band was also on the grounds and furnished some excellent numbers Elliott and Wilson's staff of ex. pert dispensers catered to the wishes of the crowd. The car service to and from the park was fanltless and the crowd was or, derly in the midst of all this sex.
