artillery. The idea Of Forrest was
only to engage and keep the enemy
in the fort and get supplies.
In the meantime Gen. Forrest
and escort and the Tennessee cav
airy took full possession of the town,
securing many valuable horses, some
Of which belonged to the enemy, as
well as large supplies of quarter
masters stores, of which the depot
was full. WHAT was not carried off
was destroyed. II was a memorable
day with the older citizens who re.
member it. All the Federals who
did not get into the fort went above
Island Greek and those who had
boats crossed the river. The gun
boats shelled the town and woods
continually until Forrest with a
squad went to the river bank and
with nothing larger than Enfield
rifles actually made the boats close
their ports and go to the other side
OF the river.
Many Of the Paducah boys got to
see their parents. The writer mis-
sed his on every hand, but saw many
friends. The citizens, especially
the girls did not realize the danger
and could hardly be kept out of the
direct range of the guns. The
river was high and the shells could
be thrown horizontally up the streets
There was some danger to buildings
but very few killed. Most of the
shells went over the town.
Forrest and most of his command
withdrew about night. The writer
remained until early the next morn
ing. Although the Federals hac
nearly 1000 men, they did not come
out of the fort until 10 a. m, tn,
next day, fearing the Wizard
was still in the vicinity.
About three weeks afterward Gen
Forrest ordered Buford with thu
Kentucky brigade to make another
movement on Paducah to cover hi
movement on Fort Pillow.
With the Third, Seventh anC
Eighth and Franklin's regiment, he
made a rapid move this way, bu
found that there was about 1000
Federals here. Gen. Buford had NJ
intention Of going into the town
From the papers we learned that thu
Federals congratulated themselves
that he did not get their finest horses
up at the rolling mill on the frs
visit so we headed that way. Gen
Buford threatened the fort and an en-
terance into the city by Broadway

FORREST IN WESTERN KENTUCKY

Following is an interesting article
telling of Gen. Forests two raids
in Western Kentucky, taken from
the Paducah News-De mocrat:
After rapid and forced marches
from Columbus. Miss. night andday.
no one knowing our destination, Gen.
Forrest. with Buford's brigade of
Kentuckians and Gen. Bell with the
Tennessee cavalry, struck the Fed
eral pickets around Paducah about
p. m. on March rs, 1868. To
say that the Yanks we're surprised
is putting II very mildly. They had
no idea that the Wizard" was with
in hundred miles. Forrest had sent
one battalion to Union City to cover
the movement on Paducah and that
place had surrendered. The Fed
erals we're completely, astonished.
There was wild skurrying 10 the fort.
Forrest ordered Buford to take
Thompson's brigade. the Third,
Seventh and Eight Kentucky, and
move against the fort, and hold the
enemy within until he. with Bells
brigade. could move into town and
get out horses and supplies of which
he was greatly in need.
Buford. with Thompson moved at
once against the fort, which was
manned with heavy siege guns, and
Immediately on the river and
under the protection of about sir
gunboats. The fort was also sur
rounded by a ditch about IL feet
vide and 10 feet deep. The Ken
lucky regiments had to move across
an open common for long distance
under a CALLING FIRE. They could
not 60 slow. Some OF them got
really into the ditch. The balance
took cover in the sur rounding houses
and kept up such a sharp firing as to
keep the Federals under cover.
They dared not show a head above
the parapet, In the charge toward
the fort Gen. Thompson was killed
by a shot. and Col. Ed. Grassland,
Capt. Al Goodwin we're severely
wounded as we'll as several officers
in the Seventh and E ighth and some
eight or ten Of them left at the hos
pital. Ed Moss. a brave Paducah
boy. was killed in sight of his own
home, as was Gen. Thompson.
The charge on the fort in line was
not intended by Gen. Forrest or Gen
Buford. for even had the Confeder-
ates gotten into the tort they could
not have stayed there as the river
was full Of gunboats and We had nc

MONEY IS NOT ALL
IOMAKE HAPPINESS
JOHN BURROUGHS, THE NATU-
RALIST, SAYS THAT FEW MIL
LIoNAIREs ARE REALLY HAP
Ply IN THIS WORLD.

ITHACA, n. Y, Jan. a.-John Bur-
roughs, the naturalist, who is visiting
here, believes that few millionaires are
really happy. He is quoted in an inter
view as follows:
IT do not believe In the doctrine at
tributed to John D. Rockefeller, that II
you want to make your wife happy all you
have TO do is to give her plenty of money
do not believe that possession of mon
ey and happiness are synonymous. III Mr..
Rockefeller has been quoted correctly, he
Is making a declaration that 1 believe
American women and women all over
the world will resent. They want love
first of ALL if they are provided with the
right instincts.
Il sat behind Jay Gould in school, and
once he wrote composition on a slate
for me when / needed ideas. That day
he needed 20 cents, and 1 gave the sum
to him for two old school books. 1 saw
him later in life when he was worth
$4,000. 900, but / do not think he was
happy. The money fire was blazing in his
eyes. and am sure II reached his brain
and consumed his life, sending him to an
untimely grave.
T THE great problem of today is the
making of money. 1t is unquestionably
the occupation that engages the minds or
the vast majority OF people, but rum
what have seen of life and those lead
ing IT, when one has obtained compe-
tency, money is superiuous, just like an
excess Of what is not needed to round
out the figure and give 1t a handsome
appearance. Piling up wealth, then, be-
comes like piling on flesh, and greatly
binders the enjoyment of the best things
Of this life.
81 know millionaires, and know very
few happy ones. True, Mr.. Carnegie
seems to be an exception because he is
different from many other rich men. He
Is trying 10 get rid of his money, and he
takes a keen delight in doing good with
II.
But even when one disposes of wealth,
II there is the consciousness that in &C
curing II the weaker creatures have been
overcome and saddened, 1 think there
must be a tinge Of regret In helping 9TH
ers with this very fruit that has been
obtained at such cost
money. of course, is necessary to pro-
vide the comforts Of existence, but cui-
tured people, say cultured people, mind
