Whore He Was Most Needed.

General N. b. Forrest was one of
the fiercest and most determined fight
ers that participated in the war be-
tween the states. In the midst Of one
of his campaigns a captured Federal
chaplain was brought to his headquar-
tiers. The man showed the deepest
anxiety and depression, for the stories
Of General Forests severity were rife
in the Union camp. A little later sup
per was announced. and Forrest, to the
chaplain's surprise, invited him to
share 1t. But his surprise grew to
amazement when the general turned
to him rev erently and said:
"Parson. will you please ask the
blessings"
The next morning Forrest courteous.
~ gave him an escort through the Con-
federate lines, for he wished no non.
combatants for prisoners, and bade
him goodby. with the remark:
"Parson. l would keep you here to
preach for me II you weren't needed
SO much more by the sinners Of the
other side"

ICICLES SIXTY YEARS OLD.
Unique Refrigerator Found Buried In
Warm Sand.

Unique refrigerator Found Buried In
Warm Sand.
Icicles preserved for more than six
ty years is a discovery claimed to have
been made at Rehoboth beach, Della
ware, by H. E. Elliot, a we'll known
merchant, and four companions. The
shifting sands Of the beach completely
covered a little frame house used for
the storage Of oil for the Cape Henlopen
lighthouse more than sixty years ago,
and it was oon forgotten.
Elliot and companions were strolling
on the beach the other day when they
found the peak of a house jutting from
the sand. Procuring shovels, they soon
had It uncovered, found it to be the
forgotten s%torehouse and, forcing open
the door, came into a veritable refrig-
orator, from the roof Of which hung
large icicles. They soon melted in the
warm sun. Elliot says the discovery
Is worth considerable, for It shows
a new method Of keeping ice.

Colin tho Pride Of the Turf.
Oh. songs have been made of the horses
Of old.
And pictures been painted, and stories
been told.
But when was there horse that could
stay by the side
OF the bonnie brown Colin for more thar
q stride?
Az meek as a lamb. with h grace Of a
maid,
He steps at the head Of the flashing pa
rade,
But a greyhound for running, a bulldog
for heart,
Is The bonnie brown Colin-in front at the
start.
And down through the stretch the field
The brown out in front, running smooth
ly and strong
With the sweep Of the swallow, the swing
of the surf,
Comes the bonnie brown Colin, the pride
of the turf.
So all you who thrill to the greatest Of
games,
Come fill up your ups to the greatest Of
names,
To the thoroughbred's heart. and drink
deep to the toast
OF the bonnie brown Colin, the first past
the post.
Oh. new horses shall run and new songs
hall be made,
But the fame Of the ~thunderbolt brown
shall not fade.
And graybeard to urchin the tale shall
repeat
OF the bonnie brown Colin, who knew not
defeat.
