States, the other of the confederacy
These two officers were on duty for q
short time in the two other forts
named.
While at Fort Crawford Lieutenant
Davis wooed and won General Taylor's
daughter, his first wife. 1t is said tc
have been a runaway match, but that
has been disputed At all events Gen
eral Taylor was so much offended
that he and Lieutenant Davis were
enemies until one day, while Taylor
was commanding an army and Davis
was colonel Of a Mississippi regiment
in the Mexican war, Davis was serious
ly wounded in battle.
At the next general election Taylor
--"Old Rough and Ready" as he was
called-was elected president. Four
years later General Pierce was chosen
president, and one of the first things
he did was to offer his Mexican war
comrade, Colonel Jefferson Davis, a
seat in his cabinet, which the future
Confederate leader accepted. He made
very good secretary of war.
Speaking of presidents, Wisconsin
people do not forget that q volunteer
captain from Illinois campaigned in
their territory during the Black
Hawk war He camped for a night
where Whitewater now stands, and
was also at Fort Atkinson before Gov
ernor w. D. Hoard made It prominent
by becoming the foremost butter and
cheese man in the country. That was
Capt. Abraham Lincoln. Nor should
| stop here. A young lieutenant, with
his wife and daughter, went 20 years
ago to Fort Winnebago, where the
lieutenant was stationed for several
years He was r. B. Marcy. Mrs.
Marcy was prime social favorite and
their girl was beloved by the entire
garrison. She grew to beautiful wom-
anhood and married a captain of the
engineer corps. In 1851 the captain,
who had retired to civil life, was ad-
vanced over all the officers in the
army except Brevet Lieut.. Gen. Win
field Scott, and was placed in active
command of the army That is what
happened to Mai. Gen. George B. Nc
Clellan, who three years later was the
choice of his party for president, and
officers who knew little Miss Marcy at
Fort Winnebago were almost per.
suaded to favor her husbands election
so that she could be mistress of the
White House. A recent mayor of New
York is her frstborn

A Mule With Three Tails.

Douglas, Ariz Nov. 4.-Not
long ago a bunch of cowboys
were out on a round up for the
Caballone ranch, a few miles
south of the city. One OF them
was coming down a trail in adj
vance of a forest fire which had
been burning for several days,
when he was startled by the
moving of bushes to one side.
The cow punchers had been
meeting all sorts OF wild animals
fleeing ahead of the fire, and this
| one thought he had routed out
bear. His horse had not shown
the usual fright when IN the Vi
cinity of a Bruin, however, and
the reason was soon made plain
when on second glance the cow
boy saw that he had met moth
ing more serious and dangerous
than a brown mare.
At first he thought of includ-
ing the mare in the roundup,
but for reasons obvious enough
to him he allowed her to keep
the trail undisturbed. A few days
ago, however, this same brown
mare came into camp and took
her place during the night beside
the chuck wagon, and when the
cow-punchers rolled out of their
blankets in the dawn, there she
stood, and beside her a baby
mule. The brown mare wasn't
worth a notice in the official
range paper, but the little mule
was worth place on the scarlet
stand of any side show on the
road, for he had three perfect
tails, which sprouted out from
the terminal station of his spinal
cord like the skeleton of a fan.
He is now the talk of the ranch
and his fame has spread even to
the Customs House on the
boundary.
"Will there be any extra duty
in taking him across into Arizo
na?" one of the cow boys asked
the Customs man.
"Well," replied the official, "if
you bring him across ears first
he'll come under the duty for one
head, but if you back him over
the line Pm afraid he'll have to
be counted according to the
number of tails, in other words,
heads you win, tails you lose"

CHILD Is A WONDER
TWELVE.YEAR-oLD GIRL WHO Ex-
HIBlTS STRANGE POWER.
Can Copy an Unopened Letter She
Has Never Read or Even Seen Be-
fore-PeopIe Mystified at Her
Peculiar Gift.

Dawson, Ga.-What is the strange
power possessed by little Laura
Averitte? That is the question which
many mystified people are asking and
have been unable to answer. The
child herself does not attempt to offer
an explanation This power, or oc-
cult force, or whatever it may be, en-
ables her to write word for word the
contents of an unopened letter and un-
known to any of the people present
during the remarkable feat of divina-
ton
Laura is the twelve-year-old daugh'
ter of ]. D. Averitte, a well-known
farmer living two miles north of Daw-
son. To all appearances she is just
normal, fun-loving, romping child.
There is nothing to differentiate her
from her playmates. And yet there is
the marvellous faculty with which she
is endowed which makes her case one
perhaps unparalleled.
The first demonstration of little
Laura's peculiar power took place
several weeks ago. A member Of her
femily had received letter, and
brought 1t unopened into the house.
Il know what Is In that letter" Laura
asserted. The relative smiled at the
childish boast. "Pll show you." she
insisted. And in spirit of fun she
was given paper and pencil at her re-
quest, the unopened letter was placed
nearby and she prepared to con-
vince the members of her family.
Slowly the pencil moved over the
sheets of paper word followed word
and sentence fc lowed sentence, and
finally little Laura said simply:
There 1t Is"
And there 1t was. The envelope
was opened. Sn les turned to express
sions of wonder nent, and wonder
ment almost chs lged to awe when it
was found that tie letter had been set
down word for vord by the child.
Seeking an explanation from the
girl those surrounding her met only
Il don't know from her.
Other letters came to the Averitte
household Further tests of Laura s
peculiar powers were made, and in
every instance it was found that she
had written the contents of the un-
opened letter practically without er.
ror.
How is the remarkable feat ac-
complished? What is the hidden force
or unfathomed faculty that enables
the child to pierce the concealing en-.
velope and mentally draw from the
written pages one by one the letters
words? These question remain unan
swered.

HurriedIy Drag Peg-Legger to Hospital
by Express to Operate on
Foot.

Phoenixville, Pa.-When William
Springer, a resident of Royersford.
was found lying along the Reading
railway near that town, he told the
men who found him that his foot had
been cut off by passing freight
train. A stretcher was hurriedly
brought. Springer was quickly placed
on board an express train, which had
been tagged for the purpose, and was
taken to Phoenixville. A telegraph
message to the station summoned the
ambulance of the Phoenixville hos
pital, and the hospital authorities IN
formed by telephone of the nature Of
Springer's injury, routed the house
surgeons from bed and made the op-
Grating room ready for an amputa-
ton.
Springer, from under the stretcher
cover, protested aaginst being taken
to the hospital. and said he wanted to
go home His protestations were ig-
nored peremptorily but kindly, with
the admonition of those about him
that he lie perfectly still and not to
worry.
Upon his arrival here he was at
once. loaded into the ambulance and
a record trip made to the hospital.
Here he was rolled into the operating
room and placed on the table.
The sight Of the white gowned sur
geons and nurses and the array of
surgical instruments caused the con-
fused Springer to scream. but the alb
sence of any evidence Of bleeding from
the mangled limb led the doctors
quickly to the discovery that, while
Springer had indeed lost foot, he
was In greater need of carpenter
than surgeon. For the foot that he
had lost was his wooden one. Spring
er said he would have told them that
II they hadn't refused to hear his pro
tests.
The doctors trimmed of the splin
tered leg and nailed block of woot
on the remnant to temporarily Al
