When one OF their number was drafted

and the money thus raised was used In
hiring a substitute.
An organization Of this kind, says the
Youths Companion. was formed in a
small town IN Illinois. and one of the
members. a stalwart, fne-Iooking man,
was drafted. With the money raised by
the stipulated assessment ne procured a

0rs did not fall into the hands Of the

could not be saved. The color bearer

DUTIES folly is an illustration Of the
truth that have often heard said-that
no man is fit TO be an officer who has
not the sense and courage to disobey an
order. Dufie had had many encounters
with the sons Of the desert. He escaped
Abd-El-Kadir TO be caught by men in
the Shenandoah Valley in 1854. Exit Duff
fie."
This, however. was not quite Duffie's
exit, for he became a brigadier general
Of volunteers in the Union service, and
after the var served ten years as United
States consul at Cadiz. He died at last
in considerable honor.
Many people viii be surprised to know,
perhaps. that 'Mosby. the guerrilla" is
still living. He Is, and. at the axe of
seventy-f1ve, is fairly prominent as a
lawyer In San Francisco. He became
great Republican after the war. and held
several offices under Gen. Grant.

A CEMETERY FOR DOGS.
It Was Founded I'm Paris Over Nine
Years Ago.


On the occasion of a lawsuit brought
by marble cutter some very interesting
details have come out In a Paris court
concerning the dog cemetery founded on
the lie des Ravageurs. near Paris, in 1899.
There are already 1890 graves in the
cemetery. Some of them. leased for a
long term. have cost as much as 1000
francs. The lowest price paid for any
concession is francs, and the expenses
Of the most discreet burial are 25 francs.
Visitors to the cemetery pay 90 CEN
times as an entrance fee. On one of the
tombstones they may read Homage to a
Faithful Heart" and on another "Here
Lies Black, Killed by a Civilized Say
age" The above victim, explains the
keeper, died at the hands OF an indlg-
nant concierge.
Another marble slab mounted on ce-
ment rock contains the following: Meth
er name nor date; what matters it7' And
again: Beneath these stones reside the
material remains Of that which during It's
life was my Joy and my consolation"

was descended from Robert Bruce He
was a true leader of clans-a wonderful
/ cavalryman and a great lieutenant for
/ Lee so far as his ordinary service in Vir-
/ ginia was concerned. That service was
/ largely to keep his commander perfectly
1 informed Of the movements OF the Union
armies, while fOoling the Union COM
mandeTs as TO the whereabouts and inten-
tiOns of Lee.
Mosbys relations with Stuart were
close. He declares that Stuart made HIN
everything that he was. Stuart found
him out, made him a commander Of guer-
rillas, advanced him, and then left him
to HIS own devices. 'T do not remember
that he ever gave me an order" says
Mosby. There was always so much
sympathy between US. and felt so much
affection for him. that he only had to ex-
press a wish and that was an order to
me"
Mosby performed somewhat the same
service for Stuart that Stuart performed
for Lee. He was always raiding, always
picking up prisoners, always getting In
side the Union lines and then sneaking
out again. One exploit which he relates
here was the capture of two soldiers on
one occasion within the Union lines, and
his use of them to enable him to ride
straight through force of Union cav
airy. Enveloped in a cape, he was able
to masquerade as a Union officer accom-
panied by two Union soldiers, and he
kept the captive soldiers from betraying
his character and identity TO their com
rades by covering them all the time with
a revolver which he held under his cape.
When he got clear. Of danger he released
the two soldiers, but only on their parole,
One little side story is told in Mosby's
book which is not finished by him It is
the story Of the egregious exploit Of Col.
Alfred Matte Dufie, colonel of the First
Rhode Island Cavalry. It is a story of
soldiers obeying his orders too well, as a
compositor sometimes follows his copy
out Of the window.
Col. Dufie was a native of France and
a soldier of fortune who had fought in
Algeria, In the Crimea, and IN the French
campaign against Austria. Coming to
America for some reason. he became one
VI tic 6ulultIS OE OlO WOTtQ reputation
whom our governors jumped at for Off
GERS He soon obtained regiment.
In the Gettysburg campaign Gen. Gregg
had ordered Duff1e with his Rhode Island
regiment to move through Thoroughfare
Gap to Middleburg, and to camp there
for the night. The next day he was to
join the division at Noland's Ford, on the
Potomac. Gregg did not for a moment
suppose that Stuart was in the neighbor-
hood Duffie started off, drove of pick
ct OF Chambliss' Confederate brigade at
Thoroughfare, and moved on to Middle
burg, where Stuart was actually en-
camped. As the picket gave no notice Of
the approach of Union forces. there was
no knowledge of their arrival until the
latter's advance guard chased a vidette
into the village. Stuart and his staff
got away as quickly as they could, and
then, with the Confederates closing In on
him, Duffie obeyed his orders and calmly
went into camp at Middleburgl
