fighting like two dogs, firing at each
other Just as fast as they could fire.
After awhile they let up a little and
watched each other for chances to fire
into each others portfolios.
Couldn't Ram the Monitor.
1.-The Merrimac tried to ram the
Monitor twice, but failed each time.
1t was said she had broken her prov
in the fight with the Cumberland. The
Monitor only had two guns and had
to haul off to cool them when they
got pretty hot from firing.
They fought from nine o'clock till
one o'clock and the Monitor had to
haul off and cool ner guns several
times, and during these times the
Merrimac would wait. Then they
would get at it again.
About one O'Clock, when the Moni-
tor hauled off to cool her guns, the
Merrimac cleared out. The gunboats
all hooked onto her and hauled her out
of sight. That was the last we ever
saw of the Merrimac.
Near the last Of this fight we could
see hole knocked in the roof of the
Merrimac which looked to be about 10
feet square. but was probably larger
as we were about two miles away
but could see and hear everything
very plainly.
We staid there only couple OF
days attire this. Then we went to
New York, where the flagship Roam

WHOOPlNG COUGH At 80.

Hackettstown, N. j., Aug. 17.-Mrs
Catherine Stephens, more than SC
years old, has had a severe case OF
whooping cough. She had the resl
thing. her physicians say. and has just
got to the point where she can have
her friends in to see her.
There is no joke about Mrs. Steph
ems case. At one time she was sick
that her life was despaired of. When
a child Mrs Stephens had a severe at
tack of the disease, which almost kill
ed her. She barely remembers that ex
perience.

and Congress. then lying at Newport
News, were present at the courtmar-
tial.
Between twelve and one o'clock the
lookout said that the Merrimac was
coming out from Norfolk and was
heading around toward the Cumber-
land and Congress at Newport News.
The Roanoke and steamship Mime
sofa at once started for Newport
News, but the water was SO shoal on
the route we were obliged to take that
both the Roanoke and Minnesota were
obliged to see the destruction of the
Cumberland and the Congress by the
Merrimac, both of them being destroy
ed right there and then. The Merri-
mac rammed the Cumberland right off
and sank her. then she shot the Con-
gress to death.
Thought it a Joke.
1.-THE Merrimac got through about
four O'Clock and went back under the
rebel battery for the night. When the
tide came up We floated and drifted
down to the ripraps, where We anch'
ored for the night. Just after dark a
steamer came into us and told our cap.
tain that the Monitor was coming. II
came soon afterward and stopped
alongside of us.
I'VE thought the Monitor was only
a joke and could not do any business
with the Merrimac. 1t looked to us
just like a half hogshead turned over
on raft, and we all laughed and jok
ed about it till after the battle. Our
captain sent the Monitor up to stay
with the Minnesota over night, which
she did.
1.-The next morning the Monitor
started over toward the Merrimac, and
the Merrimac sent gunboat out tc
see what it was and the Monitor sent
her back a cripple with a couple OF
shots through her. The Monitor wait
ed till the gunboat got pretty close
and then sent a shot through her
The gunboat began in hurry to turn
around and the Monitor sent the sec
ond shot through her. The gunboa1
did not stop for any further inspec
ton.

IT HAS ENJOYED
A STEADY GROWTH
Chautauqua Events Are Very
Popular Now in the Mid
die West.
ATTRACT GREAT CROWDS
YEAR FULLY HALF A MILLION
PEOPLE ATTENDED IN INDIANA
AND IN OHIO.

From a small beginning, a very few
years ago, the chautauqua spirit in
this section of the country has grown
until it now occupies definite place
in promoting the welfare and social
life in many communities. One of the
most fertile fields for it's development
has been Indiana and Western Ohio.
More than fifty chautauquas are held
annually in these two states alone,
and it is estimated that they are at
tended each year by more than half a
million people. At first, more of an
institution for recreation, the Chau-
tauqua has enlarged until it is as
present an institution which brings to
| its platform the foremost orators and
| lectures Of the day. the learned scien-
| lists, the skilled magicians, the clever
| impersonators and charming readers
and entertainers.
Dignified Calling.
It is no longer beneath the digni-
ty of any one to be interested in a
chautauqua or to appear upon a chau-
| tauqua platform. From the presiden-
| tial candidate and United States sena-
tor to the colored jubilee singer, each
has a place and frequently it is not so
much for the Almighty Dollar that
they appear as it is the realization
that more people can be reached
through this medium than any other
The program is the heart of the
chautauqua and in it must be embod-
led the desires of the community up
on which it depends for support
What pleases in one community dis
pleases in another; what one person
likes another dislikes and for that rea-
SON the program must give a great
variety of entertainment. The true
chautauqua spirit overlooks these lit
tie difficulties. In the end it satisfies
by pleasing the majority and doing
the greatest amount of good to the
greatest number of people.

Stop Here's a man riding right
into our jaws" muttered Kennedy.
Divide up among the rocks" A horse
man from the south came galloping up
the creek, and Kennedy rode out with
an ivory smile to meet him. The two
men parleyed for a moment, disputed
each other sharply, and rode together
back 10 the railroad party.
Haven't seen any men looking for
horses this morning, have you?" asked
Whispering Smith, eying the stranger,

tai to success. Come down to the
decent gun and give you few les
sons"
Whispering Smith drew his handker-
chief as the one-eyed man rode away
and he rejoined his companions. He
was resigned, after sickly fashion.
81 like to play blind-man's-buff - he
said, wiping his forehead, "but not so
far from good water. They have pulled
us halfway to the Crosse Terre noun
tains on beautiful trail, too beautiful
to be true, Farrell-too beautiful to be
true. They have been having fun with
us, and they've doubled back through
the Topaz Topahs toward the Mission
mountains and Williams Cache-that
is my judgment. And aren't we five
able-bodied jays, gentlemen? Five
strong-arm suckers? 1t is an inelegant
word; it is an inelegant feeling. No
matter, we know few things. There
are five good men and led horse; we
can get out of here by Goose river,
find out when we cross the railroad
how much they got, and pick them up
somewhere around the Saddle peaks
if they've gone north. That's only
guess, and every mans guess is good
now. What do you think, all of you?"
eff it's the crowd we think it is,
would they go straight home? That
doesn't look reasonable, does it?"
asked Brill Young.
eff they could put one day between
them and pursuit, wouldn't they be
safer at home than anywhere else?
And haven't they laid out one days
work for us, good and plenty? Farrell,
remember one thing: There is some
times a disadvantage in knowing too
much about the men you are after.
Well try Goose river"
1t was noon when they struck the
railroad. They halted long enough to
stop a freight train, send some tele-
grams, and ask for news. They got
orders from Rooney Lee, had an empty
box car set behind the engine for
special, and, loading their horses at
the chute, made a helter-skelter run
for Sleepy Cat. At three o'clock they
struck north for the Mission noun
tains.
