of a few wagons which were harnessed

time for the passage of troops and
everything connected with the army be-

appeared. But Schofield stationed his
little thin line of troops around n rebel
town to receive the assault of an army
outnumbering his more than two to one,
doubtless with the idea in mind that
he must protect his trains, which were
safe in park and fed and watered and
ready to move. This he was told more
than once, and it seems TO have been
impossible for him to appreciate the

from personal knowledge and expert

properly interpret the action of Gen.
Schofeld in the great and unnecessary
risk he took in not obeying the order
of Gen. Thomas to put his army on the
north side of the Harpeth River at
Franklin. l quote few pages from an
unpublished manuscript, entitled Rec
objections of a Quartermaster";
"A few days before my leave of alb
sence would have expired l reached

was standing with a paper in his hand

William Oles of Colebrook, has a
large field of corn which has been

very much. Searching his brain for
plan to end the unwelcome atten-

idea: He would soak some Of the corn
lin whisky and place it in the corn
patch. .
He did that the other night. The
next morning he was awakened by a
fearful jabbering in the cornfield. He
rushed out to investigate. He found
eight large crows staggering around
the field and Stimulating the human
voice as closely as nature would per-
init. He says he heard n Of the
crows singing.
When they saw Mr.. Oles they tried
ito fly, but it was impossible. They
couldn't " walk straight; in fact,
they fell every few seconds.

RULER MAKES THE SEASONS.
When Emperor of China Declare. It l..
Summer People All Dof White
Clothing.

The emperor of China has some
strange duties. One OF these is the
ordering OF the seasons. 1t Ia summer
in America when the sun warns the
earth, and not until then. but in China,
it is summer when the emperor Tor.
at the present time, the regent) says
it is summer. AS soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every
body in China puts off winter clothing.
and arrays himself in summer garb, nc
matter what his feelings on the sub
ject may be. All domestic arrange
ments are made to suit the season, as
proclaimed by the emperor. although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
system of ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France in all pub
lie buildings. There it is winter on
and after October /. Fires are then
lighted in all government Offices. and
the employees exchange their white
summer waistcoats for the thicker
and darker ones of winter. At that
date the public libraries are closed at
four. and in the streets the sellers OF
toasted chestnuts make their appear
ance. In official France it is winter.
no matter what the weather may say,
and no matter what unofficial France
may think.
