depression and suffering, and looked
mile OF the weary way was traversed,
and hour succeeded hour, as if each
one was an age, and impressions of
suffering and utter exhaustion were
made SO deeply on the minds Of all
that time will never efface them. Sud
denly we entered a narrow defile
through which the road wound round,
and, as if by magic or like the crea-
ton of some fairy tale, cool and fra
grant breeze began to fan our cheeks"
Ours and the Seventy-ffth belonged
to the same brigade. And we partici-
march. But I thing that Tuesday,
Aug. Is, was hotter than the 18th, and
that the Chaplain's vivid description
applies to it rather than to the march
on Monday.
We remained in camp on Battle
Greek from the evening OF the 18th I'M
til noon of the Dist when we marched
down the SeQuatchie valley six miles
to Jasper While there l find I wrote
in my diary on the 22nd: This is the
hottest day of the season" Again the
"a: THE past few days have been the
hottest l ever experienced" The per-
SEPARATION was so profuse that the sweat
would run down on the paper from
ones hand, SO that letter writing had
to be dispensed with, although com
rades were anxious to write to friends
while In camp. But a radical change
came, for my record of the 25th reads:
THE weather has changed amazingly.
This p. m. is so cool that that it is al
most unpleasant" Again, Aug 9th,
Last night was so cool we slept I'M
comfortably.
This brief history covers the hottest
weather Of the war, if indeed it was
ever equaled. It's torture upon that
march permanently injured many men,
not few of whom prematurely perish.

After the Civil war was over General
Sherman loved to talk about it and
about his boys" as he used to call the
men who had served under him, and
who came to see him from all parts of
the country. Toward the close Of his
days this gave rise to a pathetically
human incident which the American
Magazine recently printed.
Once, while the late Augustus Saint
Gaudens was modelling a figure Oh
Sherman, Robert Louis Stevenson Wis
tied New York. Stevenson had a pas.
sion for the study of war. He knew
more about fighting than most fighting
men, and was especially interested IL
the Civil war, and. in Sherman's spec
tacular campaign in Georgia.
He asked Saint-Gaudens to introduce
him to the general, and the next day
the sculptor told Sherman that Steven
son wanted to meet him.
"Who is he?" asked Sherman, lone
of my boys?"
NO" said Gaudens, hes the great
wrlter-Stevenson."
Never heard Of him." said Sherman
What did he write?
'sWhy, he wrote Treasure Island
and Kidnapped and David Balfour-'

"And he wrote DIR. Jekyl and Mr.

Saint-Gaudens, the kindest and tend

never think of wounding Stevenson's
sensitive soul by telling him what Sher~

thor.

"Of course he does" said Saint-Cau.

day. When Sherman arrived, Saint

"Ah, how do you do, Mr.. Stevenson?'

Attacks on Georgia Women.
Rome, Ga.-Dispatches bring in

women in Georgia in the last few
days
Enharlee, a small place in Floyd
county, was the scene of a brutal
outrage in which a young girl, aged
Is, was the victim, her assailants be-
ing two white men, an uncle and his
nephew.
Another outrage is reported from
Murray county, young girl being
overpowered and assaulted while the
family was away attending church.
Her assailant is said to have been
a white man, supposedly tramp.
A third outrage is reported from
the convict camp in Crisp county;
a negro is said to have committed
outrage upon the wife of a farmer
near the camp.
At Fitzgerald, Ca, Miss FresselI,
a popular young lady, had a terrible
struggle with an unknown negro who
had entered her bedroom through a
window at o'clock in the morning.
Great indignation has been aroused
in the neighborhood where the out

HOled Out and
Pulled the. Hole
LIN After Them.

Up to about 1869 the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky was widely advertised by
its owner. But the owner died that
year and left the cave to thirteen heirs
scattered over the country. The lucky
thirteen devoted themselves to dreams
of spending the big income which the
cave had been earning for many years
because it had been advertised. But
they forgot to keep up the advertising.
Now the cave is visited by compara-
lively few persons instead Of by many
thousands annually, as in the days
when it was advertised.
But the great cave conveys lesson
to every business man. If you quit
advertising, your place will be ignored
by the public even more than Nam
moth Cave is ignored, because you are
not even a natural curiosity.
