Jackson both in field and camp, but

in Washington on official business of
some kind. 1t was q beautiful morn

had acted as his chief-ofstaff before

STORY OF GENERAL JACKSON
Amusing Anecdote Told of Famous
Soldier After Close of the
Florida War.
(By Frederick Rosslyn.l

When l first knew the general he
was very old, old man. so old
man indeed, that he had watched the
British troops under Sir Edward PAX
enham deploy before the American
lines at New Orleans. He was young
subaltern then with blank shoulder
straps; he had been retired major
general before the breaking out of the
civil war; and when l first listened to
his stories of the old army he had
been out of active service for nearly
a quarter of century. His heart was
with the tacticians of the old school;
the Mexican war was to him the last
effort to maintain the ancient scien-
tiic methods in the field. In his old

What eenerosltv Mean.

"Many people get the credit Of being
generous who never felt a single gen
erous impulse in their lives" says a
rlose student Of human nature.
Their generosity, 80 called. has con-
tisted simply in formal, cold, grudging
almsgiylng, carried out at the call OF
duty and unaceompanied by any spon-
taneous burst Of feeling or sympathy.
"The highest generosity Is full Of
strong, unhesltating self efacSment and
always inspires, except IN debased ma
lures, feelings Of gratitude and affee-
ton. Almsglying Is one OF the least
Of its attributes. 1t more often takes
the form Of helpfulness, sympathy and
understanding. 1t gives forth compass
sion and encouragement Of kind
which is far beyond money value.
''The secret OF generosity Is unselhsh-
ness, and the way TO acquire It is to
cultivate universal love and sympathy"

Coppini, the sculptor, who is at
work on the model of the equestrian
statue of Gen. John H. Morgan
which is to be erected here by the
Kentucky Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, has secured the permission of
Mrs. Richard Lowndes, of West
Virginia, who recently bought Edna
Mae to use her show mare as one of
the models for the horse which the
figure of Gen. Morgan will be-
stride. He has also secured the use
of the famous saddle horse, The
Chancellor, as a model, and the sit
tings" of these animals will take
several days,
Signor Coppini will then secure a
number of other fine horses for
models, some of which will probably
be thoroughbreds and from these
various models he expects to mold
a composite horse which will COM
bine the best points of many models,
and from this will make the model
for the bronze animal on which the
figure of Gen. Morgan will be
mounted in the statue.
