The only Confederate general in con-
gress is Representative George Wash
ington Gordon of Tennessee. At the
recent Confederate reunion at Little
Rock, Ark, General Gordon was
prominent figure. His history Is a
striking one He was captured three
times, dangerously wounded once and
slightly wounded several times; was
in every important battle participated
In by the Tennessee troops and was
finally taken prisoner and removed to
Fort Warren, Massachusetts, where he
was held until three months after the
war was concluded.

sis a sort of religion with me. 1t has
been my greatest joy. Without plen~
ty Of congenial work complete happt-
ness seems impossible"
Miss Clarissa Harlowe Barton, to
give her her full name, has been
bundle Of nerves and activity from the
day of her birth. There have been Pc
RODS Of relaxation, but never any real
cessation from work. Her associates
have marveled at her powers Of en-
durance without being able to explain
them.
Her career has been complete refu-
tation Of the Osier theory. Indeed, her
greatest activity has been during the
last half century of her life. To see
her at her beautiful country home at
Glen Echo, Md, one could scarcely
believe that she is within decade OF
being a centenarian. Bodily she is a
mere wisp Of a woman, but mentally
she Is as strong and aggressive as
ever. She appears to have followed
the rules of a recent dictum which
says that to grow old gracefully one
should think big, talk little, laugh cas-
fly, work hard. give freely and be
kind.
A Masserfui Woman.
Age seems but to emphasize the mag
netic personality OF this little woman,
who has done big things. Her fore
head is broad and imposing, her mouth
large and full and her chin suggestive
Of aggressiveness. But 1t is the eyes
that tell the story of the woman. They
are penetrating and full Of fire. They
are masterfuL They are typical of a
nature that brooks no opposition. They
give the keynote to the character OF

placed alongside the nose to show how
far it would really go IL pushed into
the nose. 1t would apparently go to
the brain, and the watchers become
confident that, no matter how the bar
disappears, it does not go into the
nasal organ. But that is Just where
&c does go, and In the following man
ner: The conjurer places his left hand
over the nose and then pushes the
steel bar into his hand and up into
the right nostril until the right pas
sage is found. Then 1t is pushed
downward into this passage until the
inner end reaches the spinal column,
and the outer end is pushed up out Of
sight. When the hand is removed
from the nose the bar is nowhere to be
seen. and even the best posted watch
ers believe the bar has disappeared
through sleight Of hand. Then the bar
is taken from the back Of the neck, it
having apparently passed through the
head.

by which such feat could be accom-

To Richardson's horror the Union
pickets found upon his companion evil

In the Confederate service.
The two men were brought before
court martial hastily convened In the
Union camp. This was about July 10,
1862. The charges were made against
them, the court martial passed upon
their cases, and both were condemned
to be hanged.
