Sheridan at Cedar Creek.


E. c.. Jennings. First Sergeant, 9th
Conn, Sheepshead Bay. n. Y, says that
If his memory serves him right it was
between 10 and II that Sheridan ar
rived on the battlefield. His regiment
was ordered on the evening of Oct. 1s
to be ready by daylight to go to the
front as skirmishers. The morning of
Oct. 10 was foggy. with a drizzle of
rain. He and his comrades were taking
coffee and hardtack when the pickets
were driven in, and soon the Johnnies
came driving before them the Sixth
and Eighth Corps. Gen. Grover, God
bless him, went into action at once.
giving the fugitives a chance to rally
behind his line. The Color Sergeant
of the 9th Conn. was killed and Gen.
Growers horse shot from under him,
when he took a mule from a darky
and rode up and down the line encour-
aging the boys.

Captured by NIosby.

+. M. Swesey, I'D Ohio, Rockland,
O., SAYS that about the middle of Au-
gust, 1863, his regiment was in camp
about seven miles from Bristoe Station,
where it made good, clean camp for
rest after the fatigues of the campaign.
On the morning of Aug. "a he was de-
tailed as one of the patrol guards, and
went out with a wagon. The squad
was under command of Serg't James
Sperry, and on the way to the station
they saw no Johnnies or signs of any.
They had dinner, and started to return
to camp, when they decided that riding
was as cheap as walking. and all got
into the wagon with their arms. About
halfway between camp and station
some cavalry rode out of the woods in
blue uniform, and ordered them to sur
render. There was no use resisting,
and the wagon was driven out into the
cedars, and the men taken out and hur-
ried across Bull Run Mountain. They
Jared very. we'll for awhile, but were
very much depressed over their situa-
ton, and Comrade Swesey had much
opportunity to think of home and his
mother. They were finally taken to

Widows Pensions.

Mrs. Virgil G.. Way, whose father
served in the 33d ILL.,, says that she
married in 1905 a private soldier, who
served in the same regiment with her
father. She had no idea at that time
that the law of 1890 would have been
repealed. and she has no desire now
that it should be. She was mentally.
physically and financially able to sup
port herself then, and would be able to
do SO if she were left widow now.
She does not see why our Government
should pension woman who married
a soldier years after peace was declared
and put them on an equality with the
women who gave husbands to their
country's service and endured the tor
ture of all those years of separation.
Her mother still lives, and she was one
of the women who gave husbands to
their country. After he was gone she
became an army nurse, caring for the
sick and wounded. Mrs. Way would
not feel like accepting pension and
placing herself on an equality with
such women.

The First Defenders.

S. A. Barker, 1st r. l., Providence. r.
l., says that the first defenders have not
received their due. They were the only
men in the country at the time who
knew how to handle gun, and became
the minute men of the Nation, who
stood in the breach while the long-term
men were being enlisted. drilled and
disciplined. He is sorry to see that
many of the 1ong-term men have had
the bad taste to write disparagingly of
these first defenders. History tells how
quickly these minute men responded TO
the call of distress from the Govern
ment. In about week the 4th and 9th
Mass, 7th and list N. Y. and 1st f L.,
all armed and equipped, about 1000
strong. were in Washington Just IN the
nick of time. Had it not been for them

House Locks Horns With Senate

Washington, Feb. 3.-The house
locked horns with the senate on the
question of automobiles for the White
House and refused to accept an
amendment to the urgent deficiency
bill, striking out the appropriation of
$4,000 for that purpose. The bill
was sent to conference after humor-
GUS debate in which several members
took occasion to refer to the bodily
proportions of the president-elect.
The hopes of the army for sufficient
money to continue its experiments in
aeronautics, were blasted, when the
house recOnsidered its action of LAST

withdrew the increase of $500, 900

The Royal Automobile Club of Eng

All the experiments abroad have
gone to show that it will be a problem
of road rather than car construction
that will finally solve the dust ques-
ton.
Three years experiments on the Lin

shown that the best road, so far as a

face are concerned, is one made Of Il

GOOD ROADS AS MONEY SAVER
Lay Sermon by Curtis Hill on Gospel
of Better Highways

Curtis Hill, the state highway engi-
neer, is sending to the people of Mis-
souri, pamphlets for spreading the Cos
pei of good roads. Here is copy:
1t is right that people should fear a
heavy tax rate and should prevent
taxes from becoming eXorbitant A
certain amount of taxes, however, is
necessary to provide for public insti-
tItions and to improve the country. A
low tax rate does not necessarily mean
public saving. Not the amount of
money spent, but the judicious expend-
itGre of it, should be our position.
Road improvement should keep
abreast with the growth Of the state.
No one internal improvement is more
essential to the prosperity and ad-
vancement of the state than good high
ways. One reason the roads are not
improved is because the people fear
tLey cannot afford it.
1T must, however, be borne in mind
that no road official, no matter how
efficient he may be, can build roads
without funds. Permit me to quote
from a letter of one of our county
highway engineers: We have some
very attractive scenery in our county,
but the only safe way to see it is in
al old fashioned farm wagon or by
airship. When 1 first came to this
county l could not understand why
people with such good road material
at hand had no better roads. This
vas twenty-five years ago. and at pres
ent the roads are worse than they were
then. The reason is plain from the
following figures: Total mileage Of
roads, about 1000; road fund, $1.994.75.
not quite 81 a mile for road mainte-
nance"

And iii addition to that when We
consider the condition of most of the
school houses, it is a matter of won
der that we do anything at all. With
the school house which should be
the finest building in the district,
bleak, dirty and uncared for, how
can we expect the young people to be
eager for knowledge.
The great problem Of today is to
get the farmers boy to stay on the
