THE CAPTURE OF MosBY.
A Military Expedition That Was Not
a Success.


Gen. John s Mosby, the Confeder-
ate cavalryman, used to tell Of a
comic incident which happened in the
Shenandoah valley in 1864. Near
Millwood a regiment of cavalry halt
ed one night and went into camp. One
of the men, who was hungry, slip
ped away and went off in the neigh
borhood to get something to eat. He
rode up to a cabin on a farm in the
dark and called for the person inside
to come out
A negro woman, known at thai
time as an intelligent contraband
opened the door and asked him what
he wanted. The soldier wished to be
assured of his safety before dismount-
ing and while eating his supper, sc
he inquired If any one but herself
was there.
She replied Eyes. Mosby is here. >
What" said he, in a whisper. Us
Mosby here?"
Yes" she said, "he is in the house. v
The soldier put spurs to his horse
and dashed off to his company to car
ry the news. When he got there he
informed the colonel that Mosby was
in a house not far away. The regi'
ment was soon mounted, and went al
fast trot, thinking they had Mosby
in trap.
When they arrived at the negro
woman's house the colonel ordered
his men to surround it, to prevent Mos
by's escape, while he went in with
few to take him dead or alive.
The woman again came to the
door of the cabin. The colonel in
quired, rs Mosby here?"
She innocently replied, Yes" so he
walked in.
After the colonel got inside he
looked round. But the woman seem
ed to be all alone and utterly uncon'
scious of having so important per-
son for her guest.
In a loud voice the colonel demand
ed Where is Mosby?"
Ere he," answered the terrified
negress, at the same time pointing tc
cradle on the floor.
The colonel looked into the cradle
and saw a little African pickaninny
sucking it's paw.-Youth's Compan-

WORKING OF FRENCH FARMS.
From the Rich Landowner to the Half
Share Man.

From the Rich Landowner to the Half
Share Man.
In France these ts a hierarchy Of
farmers.
The great landowners we need not
consider They are not in their fields.
They are idling, gaming, talking pol
itics in Paris. They number their
acres by the thousands. Take the
French Rothschilds, for instance -
they own 100000 acres of land. Other
barons of finance and many gentle
men of ancient houses are masters of
similar estates.
Such farmers" as these are at the
head of the hierarchy; the farming
baron, the gentleman farmer. Their
lands are exploited in the broad, bus
inesslike way that rules the syndicate
wheat farms of the great northwest.
Let us go down the scale. Next in or
der come the farmer generals They
are middlemen. They are the CAPT.
from whom they rent a hundred
farms, and the tenants to whom they
sublet. Few of them have ever turn
ed a furrow. The farmer general is
an intermediary parasite.
At this point in the agricultural
hierarchy comes the man who culti-
Yates his fields. The largest class is
made up of those who rent their farms
as in England-from some great
landowner; if the lease be long and
the terms be good he fares not i'll. He
owns his stock and implements. Usu-
ally he is we'll to do. He employs a
dozen men, laborers, shepherds. More
and more he is becoming the type Of
the French farmer, for the small
owner-he who ploughed his own
acres-is giving way before the uni
versal tendency toward concentra-
ton; even so the little shopkeeper Is
being destroyed by the all absorbing
department store.
In a great measure this man is inde-
pendent. Twice a year he pays his
rent; probably he rents his farm on
a lease of three, six and nine years
He is master in his domain. He may
sell, buy, SOW and garner as he will.
Perhaps his greatest difficulty is in
procuring laborers, for the young
men go to the cities, to the factories;
so he works from dawn to dusk and
with him in the field his women work.
Lower in the scale is the farmer
who works his land on shares, re-
ceiving one-half of the product. His
farming is done under the direction
of the owner or farmer general. This
is the method in vogue at Ferrieres,
the great estate of the Baron Roths-
child in the Seine-etMarne. Usually
but a small farm is allotted to the
half shares man." In reality he Is
the serf Of the new regime, for finan-
cial feudality has preserved many OF
the old servitudes of the soil.
In the first place he may at any
time be called away to work In the
owners fields He must make all re-
pairs. He must dig trenches wherever
the owner sees fit. He must supply
all the straw and hay the owner re-
uuires and send to his kitchen eggs
and butter and vegetables in season.
He must allow all or any of the own
er's laborers to cook their food in his
kitchen whenever such laborers are
employed near by. And lastly if the
owner finds the work i'll done he may
hire outside laborers and send them
into the fields, for which the half
shares man" must pay.-Outing

How to Recoqnize Cases of Rabies.

HydrOphobia is in reality so rare
and so terrifying that its symptoms
and treatment are little understood,
AS a matter of fact, the commonly
accepted expression of address in a
dog is often misleading. The real
mad dog does not shun water, as it is
said. On the contrary, mad dogs
often rush to water and drink eager
ly. if they are able to swallow. The
mad dog does not froth at the mouth.
1t does not run amuck. swapping at
everything in its path. What, then
are the indications of the mad dog?
To those familiar with given dog
the sureSt symptom and one which
should excite closest attention, is a
distinct and unaccOuntable change in
the dogs disposition-a staid dog be-
coming excitable and a frisky one
duh. That condition does not neceS-
sarily mean rabies. but it is SuSpi-
cious, and if, i'm addition, the dog has
trouble in Swallowing-as though 1t
seemed to have a bone in its throat
beware. That dog should be instant
" tied up. because if it is rabies it
takes but a day or two for ferOciouS
instincts to develop. The unmstak-
able evidence, however, Of dog with
rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lip. The eyes glare and are
red: the dog has paroXysms of run
ming fury. during which he barks
hoarsely. which alternate with pc
riods Of temporary exhaustion.-Cas-

WASTED ROYAL EFFORT.-Not long
ago the king of Wurtemberg, while out
motoring in the country with the
Grand Duke Adolphus of Mecklen-
burg, saw coming toward him cart
drawn by a white horse in which were
seated a sturdy old peasant and his
wife. AS the motor car approached
the white horse became very restive,
pranced, reared and finally fell own
on the roadway. The king and the
grand duke Immediately ordered the
chauffeur to stop, and, getting down
from the car, went to the assistance
of the fallen animal. Meanwhile the
two old peasants sat stolidly in the
cart and made not the slightest ef-
fort to raise the horse. The grand
duke seized the creatures head and
the king proceeded to loosen the traces.
After a good deal of trouble the
horse was got upon its legs again and
reharnessed, and then the grand duke
addressed the old man in the cart.
There" he said, handing him a coin,
'it's all right now, my good man. You
can go and tell your friends that the
grand duke of Mecklenburg picked
up your horse, and that the king OF
Wurtemburg helped him." The peas
ant bit the coin to see if it was good,
and then replied: "Ye might have
saved yourselves all this trouble, for
my old horse always lays down when
he hears one of those horrid motor
cars coming. But as soon as it's past
he gets up again of his own accord.

CHILDREN AT FIFTY CENTs.-Among
the deacons of a Presbyterian church
in an Ohio town was good old gen.
tleman familiarly known as Uncle
Thomas" Although too deaf to hear,
he was always in his accustomed seat
at church, and his zeal in religious
work was untiring. Owing to short
age of song books in the Sabooth
school, some additional ones were or
dered by Uncle Thomas" who ap-
prised the pastor of their arrival, and
the latter agreed to announce the fact
from the pulpit on Sunday morning.
The pastor made the promised an
nouncement, among others, conclud-
ing with this one:
persons wishing their children
baptized will please present them at
the close of the service"
The good deacon jumped to his feet,
and, in the loud voice peculiar to the
deaf, bawled out: "Those who haven't
any can get them at my house for so
cents apiece!"
AS Uncle Thomas" and his wife
had always been childless, this start
ling information almost broke up the
meeting, and a wave of merriment
swept the congregation that threaten
ed to shake the church from its foun-
