LITTLE SoRREL.
The Fsvorits Battle Charger of Stone
 wall Jackson.

The Fsvorits Battle Charger of Stone
 wall Jackson.
 Among the many battle steeds ridden during the war between the states by the celebrated Confederate Corps Com mander Stonewau Jackson of Lees army his favorite was a charger affec- tionately named Little Sorrel by the Second corps of the Army Of Virginia. He was about fifteen hands and. as General LonCstrCet said to the writer, strongly resembled, except in color, President Zachary Taylor's Old Whitey ot the Mexican war. Jackson rode him at Bull Run, Winchester, Cedar Noun tain, Manassas, Antietam, Hsrpers Ferry, Fredericksburg and on many other battlefelds. He mounted Little sorrei for the last time at ChancellOrs- vile May 2, 1863. and in the battle was mortally wounded by bis own men and died a week later
 Cenernl Bradley T. Johnson Of Mary land in a letter to the present writer remarks: Jackson was an ungainly boSeman, and when he rode by the troops Little SOrrel would strike or on n run. The general would pull or hls cap and ride bareheaded at full speed past miles of shouting Confederates. The saying was when you heard that yell before or behind you on the march, There goes old Jack on rabbit When he soldiers started a rabbit they'd scare hlm to death with yell ing"
 Little sorrel died at the Soldiers home near Richmond at the age of thirty.slz years and is now to be seen Ike sherldan's Winchester, carefully preserved in a glass case after being prepared by a skllIful taxidermist at Lexington. ya.-James Grant Wilson In S. P. O. A. Bulletin.

WHITE PASS
 FLEET BUSY

The fall rush of freight is now on and from the present time to close of navigation, all the available river steamers of the White Pass Com pany will be in commission. The new steamer Casca was hauled alongside the commissary Wednesday to receive her provisions and equipment and wil get away on her maiden voyage to Dawson today. The Canadian which has been laid up during the past two months will also be placed on the run and will get away in a day or two,
 There remains now only four weeks more of the season for operating boats on the upper Yukon and not to exceed three weeks for the lower river. The last steamer for the sea son to leave for Fairbanks is adver- tised to leave Dawson on the 2Srd of the present month, which is one week from tomorrow. Last year the Whitehorse was advertised to leave Dawson for this place the 10th of October. but it was a day or two lat CT when she sailed for this place closing the season so far as the White Pass company was concerned. Two or three independent steamers left Dawson from ten to fifteen days lat CT and came safely through.
 Thus far their is an excellent stage of water and it is believed it will con tinue good throughout the season. Whitehorse Star.

TEACH CHILD TO PUT TOYS
AWAY.

The child that is old enough to
play with toys is old enough to put
those toys away when through with
them.
II is a simple matter to provide n
box or a large drawer for toys-and
II may require several battles to
force little miss or small mister to
put them back, but II should be done.
For II child is allowed to walk
away from a scatter Of toys. the
chances are that this child. grown up,
will walk away from scattered things
all of its life.
Putting the toys back into the box
or drawer lays the foundation for
habits OF orderliness and system
which will prove simply invaluable
in later life.
And scattered toys all over a house
do not tend TO make for peace and
comfort in the house for the grown
