MUCH DELAYED WAR REPORT
Gen. Dan MacauIey of Indiana Relates
Humorous Incident That Orig
mated in '64.

The following anecdote as related
by Gen. Dan Macauley Of Indiana af
fords a striking illustration Of the
humorous turn that often concludes a
situation originally tragic. The begin
ming Of the story takes us back to
those stirring events of 1854 which
had the Shenandoah Valley as the the
alter of action. Back and forth across
that narrow stage with It's picturesque
setting strove those real-life heroes,
Sheridan and Early, in the most dra-
matte, momentous duel of the war.
In this prolonged contest courage and
determination were well matched,
while rare technical skill availed itself
of every possible advantage to force a
final issue.
That last stroke of Early's, the sur
prise of the Union forces in the morn
ing hours of the nineteenth of October,
was so well conceived and so brilliant
ly executed it almost deserves sue
cess, and was close to accomplish
ment, but Sheridan's mastery counter
stroke wrested victory from him at
the eliminating moment as effectually
as Napoleon turned the tide at Ma
rengo.
The night before the battle, General
Wright, then in command owing to
Sheridan's temporary absence, or
dered reconnaissance to be made by
one Of his brigades. On its return 1t
reported no enemy In sight, and this
added greatly to the sense of security
that prevailed among the union troops,
for 1t was generally believed that
Early had left the valley for good.
discouraged by his recent defeats at
Fishers Hill and Toms Brook, or was
afraid to venture another open attack
Acting upon this mistaken impression
1t hadsbeen decided to return a large
portion of our force to City Point to
augment Grants army.
General Macauiey at this time was
attached to Crooks corps as a brigade
commander and stationed on the ex-
IRENE left, the late President Hayes
holding a similar position In the same
corps.
MY camp" said General Macauley
"was aroused just before daylight by
the noise of light firing. While it at
tracted some attention, we regarded
1t as picket firing only and of no con-
sequence. But upon it's continuance
some moments longer a group of off,

REN0VATING THE SETTLE
Old-Fashioned Bench With a Back Can
Be Easily Converted Into a
Porch Couch.

II you are lucky enough to own one
are little more than wooden benches
with high, open back, it can be con-
verted into novel couch for a porch
or the living room of country house.
Fasten to each arm of the couch the
inverted lid of a large flower barrel
This lid should have an inch-high rim
If the dimensions are too large to fit
securely to the arm a prop can be add
ed on the outer edge.
This prop may be strip of wood
fastened to the seat of the couch dag
onally, or broomstick handle can be
nailed to the lid to form a leg.
The lids at each end of the settle
make convenient and ornamental
shelves for books, workbags and vases
of flowers. When the couch is COW
cred the lids can be adjusted in their
natural position
To finish the settle scrape off the
paint and Varnish and give all the
woodwork three coats Of dark green,
dark red or white paint, ending with a
coat Of enamel
For the seat, make a thin mattress
stuffed with hair or some patent fill
ing. Cover with gay cretonne or dem
i'm. Arrange the cover so 1t buttons
at the back for greater ease in wash
ing. A fat pillow or two can be COW

The Test of the College Man.

Why won't you take me?" de-
manded an athletic and indignant
young man of j. A. Magill of Seattle,
agent for the Copper River & North
western railroad. Mr. Magill has sent
3, 700 laborers into Alaska, is looking
for more, and the young man wanted
"a job.
! Don't you think I could do the
iwork?" he persisted 81 could put it
ial over those rough-necks you are hir-
ling," sQuaring his broad shoulders.
''You are physically able, l guess"
said Mr.. Magill, "but about the time
some big Swede pulled off his shoes
and stuck his feet alongside your face
jim the bunk you'd quit your job, ow-
ing the commissary about $780,"
I'VE have to fight away these COZ
tege men every day said the agent
after the young man had left. Eve

Sometimes they try to fool us by let
ting their stubble grow and slipping
yon a flannel shirt and some overalls.
But they can't put callouses on their
hands. Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Peffumed Beds.

There Is nothing very novel, the I'M
initiated may think, about psrfumed
beds, for every one knows how good
housewives have for generation
prided themselves on their napery, and
that one Of their special little fads
was to place lavender bags among the
sheets in order to add a little to the
luxury Of the sleeper But when per-
fumed beds are talked of NOWADAYS
something is contemplated which was
unknown to the old-time housewife.
9 Now between the mattress and the
sheet there is laid a scented pad-a
thin quilted affair, which has one lay
er of cotton freely sprinkled with the
favorite sachet powder-which causes
the whole bed to smell deliciously of
roses, violets, or whatever may be the
chosen perfume.
J Pillows are also opened and sachet
powder Is sprinkled among the feath-
ers. Orris makes a perfume resem-
bling violets, and there are some peo-
pie who like that of pine, which is cas-
FLY obtained by gathering the needles
from the trees in summer and laying
them fiat in little sacks, which are
inserted in both pads and pillows.

Dresses for Small Girls

Shantung in the pastel and raw
shades is extremely in favor this year
for the small girls frock and light
summer coat. for which garments, too
ecolienne is chosen by some of the
exclusive designers. Quite two-thirds
of the frocks for small girls are col
larless, and both round and square
necks are seen. rs a rule, the shan
tung frock is made up with a low
neck, and an adjustable chemisette ac-
companies it, to be put on when
high effect is necessary. But, again,
even for the small girls dress and
coat the tailored effects are resorted
to. As for the shirtwaist suits which
well-grown girls of eight to ten years
are wearing, these nearly all are
made up with prim bands and stitched
plaits that reproduce the tailored
neatness of their elder sisters waists.

Where Women Ruled.

The native women of Hawaii have
always been prominent in affairs of
state, in latter days being limited by
circumstances to private influence
public harangues, writing for the
newspapers or lobbying, and this be-
ing confined to a limited number. In.
ancient days rank of nobility de,
scended from the mother, and the
characters Of many chieftainssses
shine out as beacon lights in the his
tory of this interesting people. Dur
ing the monarchy women held most
responsible positions, especially I'M
der the earlier kings, as regents and
premiers, and for some years, and I'M
til very lately. woman versed in
Hawaiian customs presided as Judge
land a most dignifed judge of the
court Of private ways and water rights.
What attitude the Hawaiian women
as whole would take on the equal
suffrage question cannot be determin-
ed except by vote, but l think it fair
to presume that they would favor it

How the Elks Came Into geino,

Just after the Civil War there was
in New York a certain crowd of young
men, for the most part connected in
one way or another with the dramatic
profession, who met IN a room every
Sunday night and called themselves
the Jolly Corks. One gathers from
the existing data regarding this group
that performers In the variety thea
tres of that day predominated in its
membership. In pamphlet issued
over the name Of one of the charter
members Of the Elks, the late George
w. Thompson, the origin of the order
is described. Having attended meet
ing of the Jolly Corks at the invita-.
ton of one of the regular attendants.
he writes:
81 remember we passed a very en-
joyable evening and dispersed with an
agreement to meet on the following
Sunday. Brothers Riggs and McDon-
aid left with me and the latter said:
This thing Is better that a mere jolly
crowd and will one day amount to
something metropolitan.

GARDEN IN THE ORIENT.
One In Fey Where Is Heard Music
That Was Old When the Pyra-
mids Were New.

A garden does not necessarily mean
collection Of flowers arranged more
or less symmetrically, with spaces Of
lawn, shelter Of trees, and paths hith-
er and thither. There have been gar
dens that, beyond a terra-cotta jar
or two holding a rosebush or a flower
ing almond, have had no green thing
WITHIN their gates. l know of an
oriental garden in Fec where white
garmented Moors come in the cool of
the evening to sit and listen to ancient
stories that they know by heart, or to
music that was old when the pyramids
were new, or perhaps to look at
dane1ng girl or two taking soft steps
while they smoke their narghiles; yet
that garden is nothing more than a
series Of arches unfolding walls be-
yond walls, toned a faint, mysterious
yellow that is not yellow, but white,
and yet not white, but rose In the
middle is a pool of water in a stone
basin that looks blue because of the
intense sky overhead, and that SHIN
mers with golden reflections from the
@AA "a vi AC1 6IoA4ho q 4Ai5hty
jar full of strange, scarlet blossoms,
and rugs Of deep color and intricate
pattern lie on the sun-warmed flags.
There is always the fairy music of
dropping water, and wonderful shad-
ows move among the arches
This place is a garden for all that
1t Is so builded Of man. The word
court will not do for it. It may be that
a garden, as has been said of Boston,
is less q material thing than a state
Of mind. The story of the Garden of
Eden seems to hint at something of
the sort; and had we all permission to
create an Eden of our own, doubtless
these would vary as greatly as do the
secret desires Of every heart, the In
ner life of every soul. If, therefore, in
speaking of garden, one pictures
something that to another may not
appear to conform strictly to the
term, what matter? If the garden
spirit is there, it will incarnate itself
for the true believer, who is always a

COMMON SENSE IN DRESS
Many Women Have Never Learned
That Dress and Appearance
Are Correlated.

There is a woman whom I see in
the cars daily who has never learned
that dress and appearance are at all
correlated. She is short, stout little
body, and by the time she has COM
pIeted her toilet she looks like walk
ing balloon. Her coats are always
pulled as to sleeve and padded as to
shoulder; her shirtwaists blouse; she
wears wide bows at her neck and on
her hat; her shoes have broad, round
points, and her light gloves make he.
hands look larger.
1 takes more than regard for the
direction in which stripe runs to
overcome a tendency to undue length
or shortness. My friends costume
would be ideal for the animated bean
pole. But she herself should dress
severely, in simple, straight lines; her
hats should be high, with erect plumes
or ribbons; her gloves should be dark,

NEW SHAPE IN FELT HATS
Large, Flat Hats With Slightly Droop-
ing Brims and Low Crowns,
the Latest.

The expected turn of the wheel of
fashion has brought into the millinery
field different shape of hat. From
the upturned brim there is a depar-
ture for summer wear in the form of
large, fiat hats, with slightly dropping
brims and low crowns.
Some of the brims are slightly mar
rover at the front, while a decided
element of comfort is evident in the
deep bandeaux, that resemble skull
cap, at the back of the hat, vanish
ing at the front into a thin rim of
buckram. These are SO fitted that no
hatpins are necessary.
A wreath of flowers, nowhere rising
above the crown, is the simple trim
ming used on the majority of the fat
shapes There can be the introduc-
ton OF a velvet flower, If a note of
contrast be needed.
Some Of these new models are of
fine straw, leghorn or of frames COW
cred with satin and yelled with chif-
fon.
AS change from the towering
turbans or the shapes that eclipse the
features, the low, fat hats, resting on
the softness of naturally arranged
hair. come as welcome relief.

No Love for the Turtle.

''The only living thing in this place
that nobody ever tries to pet is the
turtle said the animal DEALER
There are certain tones of the voice,
certain pats and punches that all anil
mails are especially responsive to. Par
rots like to be rubbed at certain
spot on the top of the head, a maybe

ing him under the wings, and certain.
other birds have preference for tick

cats, the mice and the snakes are par;

who know enough about natural his
tory to pet each bird and beast ac-
cording to it's likes-everything that
Is, but the turtle. Nary a pat nor a
punch nor tickle does anybody be-
stow upon him. Sometimes feel sor-
ry for the poor old chap f1oundering
in his pool in solemn loneliness.
Touched to compassion by the af-
fecting picture, the visitor extended a
hesitating hand

Stitched straps are excellent for all
forms. Embroidered plastrops must
DO placed in advantageous position,
always keeping well in mind the fact
that decoration must not be obstrus-
I've, but a harmonious part of the
whole scheme. On the short coat
they may be widely used.
Side panels of braid, embroidery of
stitched material give grace, but a
certain thickness OF the body which
it were wise for the stout woman to
eschew. The variation of the fasten-
ing is another note that must be ia
ken into consideration when the short
coat is decided upon.
One more point Look well at the
skirt with which the short jacket is
to be worn. Remember that here lies
the effect that will accentuate the
short lines, or serve to mitigate the
change that undoubtedly results from
this seasons note.
Whether the jackets of shorter
length will be able to extend on into
the next season is moot point. but
while they are here they must be
chosen with due regard for the women
within.

When intended for indoor use the
settle may be left implanted, though
a coat or two of paint to make ends
and couch alike will cost little, If the
work is done at home.
Fasten a thin mattress 10 seat and
back and fit to the settle cover of
striped linen, such as is used for sum-
mer furniture coverings. The two
toned gray effects are cooling and do
not soil SO quickly as the more popu-;
lar white.
The inverted lids are supplied with
a separate cover of the linen Where
the leg prop to the lid is used the
covering is fitted around it to give the
effect Of winged couch, the covered
lid extending beyond it.
None of the woodwork Of the settle
shows the cover reaching to the floor
all around. II making such a cover Is
beyond your skill, it can be done more
cEeaply by having an upholsterer cut
and fit it while you do the sewing and

Try This, Girls.

The debutante of the season will
have no difficulty in getting together
the coveted six boxes of wedding
cake, which means that the seventh
will be her own, for the list of brides
to-be is long, and wedding receptions
are in plenty, accordingly. The SUI
perstition holds that no box must be
opened. Each one must be tied to it's
predecessors in order of date, and
each one must be legitimately given
to the owner as an invited guest-no
cards transferable, SO to speak This
charm never falls, it is said.
