WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier crawls Along Burned
Bridge at Night and compels
Enemy to Retreat.

The brayest and coolest act that
came under my observation during
five years military service at the
time of the Civil war, was that of
Isaac D. Hardy, a soldier nineteen
years of age, who has been for many
years a resident of Santa Barbara.
March 3, 1865, Gen. Sherman, on his
march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedea
river. Here the Seventeenth corps,

RESOURCES OF SOUTHEAST
GIVEN WIDE PUBLICITY
Exhibits at Fairs, Advertisements in
Newspapers, and Circulation OF
Attractive Literature All
Boost the Southern
Territory.

The Southern Railway has long de-
voted much attention to fair and ex'
position exhibits, showing the re-
sources and products of the South
eastern States. This years exhibit
work is almost entirely within its own
territory. At state and other large
fairs and exposition it's is making
comprehensive exhibits, largely agri
cultural, which are mostly of an edu'
cational character, and which show
what the people of the Southeast and
of special communities may do. A
large exhibit will be made in Novem'
Der at New York City.
In the line of publicity for calling
attention to the opportunities OF the
Southeast, liberal amounts are appro'
priated. The Southern Field, giving
information about all the Systems
territory, is widely and regularly cir,
culated. Booklets descriptive of the
different states, publications relating
to the various lines of farming, pam
phlets giving general or special in
formation or lists of lands or business
opportunities are published for the
benefit of homeseekers and manufac-
turers.
In advertising opportunities in the
Southeast agricultural, trade and gen
eral publications in the North are
used and special advertising is done
in Europe.

along our shore and drive the enemy
from their position. Our rifles did
good execution, and the enemy retired
out of range. At dusk they again
moved down to the river and brisk
fire was kent up from both sides till
near midnight, when 1t slackened te
only an occasional shot from either

About / o'clock we heard the report
OF one of our Windsor rifles at or near
the farther end of the bridge, and this

A new WAY TO
MAKE A POT-POURRI

A clever girl, cudgeling her brains az
as to how she might keep something Of
the roses, verbenas, gardenias, geranium
leaves and other sweet flowers and
fragrant foliage that graced the bouquet
she held at her first dance, her own
bridesmaids and friends bridal bouquets
and the many baskets and posies sent
her by her admirers, hit on the bright
idea Of keeping their fragrant petals and
sprigs for a pot-pourri jar.
Although It is midwinter now, any one
may follow the example Of this girl and
lay the foundation Of q pot-pourri OF
memories.
OF course, the dollhouse roses which
form the trophies Of city girl are not
SO sweet as the homely out-of-door varie-
ties, but q very acceptable rose jar may
be made Of them.
Take of the petals from all the roses
in your bouquets, and dry them at a lit
tie distance from the fire. Dry not only
tho rose, but lemon, verbena and gera-
MUM leaves and orange flowers, and all
the other scented blossoms you have.
Buy a Japanese rose jar. These have
outside cover, there Is another pierced
with holes.
Into your jar put a double handful of
dried rose and other leaves: this makes
a layer. and you must sprinkle 1t lightly
with table salt. Then add a small single
handful dried lavender flowers. half
a dozen cracked cloves and q stick. OF
cinnamon which you have broken into
pieces.
Sprinkle it with salt again. Then add
another layer Of rose petals. leaves, ETC.,
and repeat the process until your jar is
full. Lastly pop In the tOnquin bean,
then pour the whole of a wine -glassful
of the very best eau de cologne over 1t
all.
Cover the jar up tight. and leave it for
two or three days. At the end of that
time shake the jar well. and then open
it. II the dried flowers have shrunk
down. more flowers, salt and eau de
cologne can be added In a few more
days leave the cover of and enjoy the
delicate scent.
II, as time goes on, your rose jar seems
to lose its perfume, stir the contents with
q fork. Pot-pourr well made should
last very long time.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
BY Ruth Cameron.

There il ample room for many kinds Of
people in the world. But there are many
people who do not seem to realize that
fact.
Some weeks ago I wrote q little article
urging people to do what they could to
tighten the burden and prevent the abuse
of delivery horses. Several letter friends
kindly commended this. but one wrote
rebuking me for wasting my space and
sympathy on the delivery horses when
there are SO many poor, suffering chill
dren in the world who are surely moro
important than soulless animals"
Madame, your letter expresses an at
titude which have met many times, and
which always arouses my antagonism-
Does the fact that there are so many
poor, suffering children In the world
need to prevent everybody from plying
the sufferings of dumb animals? To be
tender to one form Of suffering must one
be callous to all other forms?

almost all Of his charity money toward
various schemes for alleviating tho SUI
ferings of dumb animals He Is often
criticised by people with my letter
friends viewpoint ;, Jus INK w6 Ha a a

hts money for cats and dogs and horses.
It's outrageous"
Now / can't see it that way at all. It
seems to me q beneficent law Of the uni-
verse that some people should be sensi-
tive to one form OF suffering and some to
another. There are other people who
will give literally to relieve the condi-
ton Of unfortunate fellow beings, who
could. nevertheless, unfeelingly drive
away the shivering, starving. lost doggy

q new lease Of life because Of new ways
OF manipulating them. one Of the most
important being the sheathing with one
transparency above another. These trans
parencies are so charming and there are
SO many wonderful colors among them
with which to, work out designs. that 1t is
not to be wondered at that some ravish-
ing results are obtained.
In the sketch is shown one Of the new
est of the swiried tunics, and very
graceful model 1t is, capable Of being de-
veloped in q variety Of different color
treatments provided the note OF delicacy
which is one OF its chief charms Is CD
served.
The long foundation skirt is Of dead
silver satin with a panel train swung
from the belt, while over the skirt is
hung diagonally from the left hip q
shaped founce OF flesh-cOlored chiffon
ally widens toward the lowest point OF
drapery and is edged with furnished sill
yer ball fringe. Above this. this time
hung with gathers across the front and
same fesh-colored chiffon cut to the
outline of the top Of the flounce and
hemmed similarly to the other.
The corsage, with its short sleeves
gathered little as they are brought
into a narrow banding edged with the
silver fringe. crosses over little tucker
Of cream-colored applique lace. while
just below and forming tabs below the
waist line at the sides are square sec
tons Of black and gold embroidered net.
It is q fetching frock and worthy
representative of the new evening gowns.
The fashion that held last season and
that. In fact. Is always good in one or
other Of its variations-that Is. having
the whole upper part of the corsage OF
lace or fine net-is particularly appro-
pirate just now, when the skirt is con-
tinued above the girdle In belted princess
style to create long lines through a mass
of intersection and more or less compli-
Gated draperies.
A successful idea in which this effect
figures shows q rose-colored mousseline
arranged in a sort of redingote effect
with long pannier sides. The underskirt
is Of satin with deep cream-colored
mousseline gathered at the top and again
just above and below the knees; then
bands Of narrow satin ribbon cross and
recross each other from shirrline to shirr.
The top, with shoulder sleeves snug
fitting, is Of dotted net. while the nous
seine OF the side draperies Is continued
under girdle OF deeper rose color In
two points that curve off to the Shout

he dies in the traces. Folks like my
wealthy old friend are the balance Tor
this kind Of people and help to make
up a symmetrical world.
Think how many charities and philan-
thropies there are in the world. Is 1t not
well that there should be SO many differ
ent kinds of people to found and sup
port them? Is 1t not fortunate that one
man should be pitiful to the sufferings Of
old people and give gladly to any scheme
to make them q little happier. and that
another should feel for the blind babies.
and another for the heather, and another
for cripples, and another for the dumb
doggies, and another for the fallen wom-
en-, and q million others for almost as
many kinds Of suffering and need?
I, for my part, am not against any one
who is fighting to cure or relieve any
form Of abuse or suffering. I'm for him.
may not be mine. nor mine his, but we
are both set toward the same great goal.
The only tragedy. the only failure. the
only culpability is not to have been
softened and taught by your own suffer
ings to pity the sufferings of some other
creature. animal or human being.
I was greatly impressed by the follow
ing sentence In letter from Harriet
Beecher Stowe to friend, regarding the
death Of the authoress' little boy.
1T was at his dying bed" she writes,
land at his grave, that I learned what
poor slave mother may feel when her
child Is torn away from her. In those
depths OF sorrow which seemed to me
immeasurable, It was my only prayer to
God that such anguish might not be suf-
fered in vain"
How little in vain that suffering was
millions Of people know.
There is ample room for many kinds Of
people in the world-the kind who pity
the horse and dog, the kind who want
to help the negro. the kind who love tho
homeless children. The only kind Of
people for whom there Is not ample room
Is the kind who have not been taught
by their own experience to be eager: to
help some corner OF the suffering Of the
world.

The lack Of closets for clothes Is an
ever-present worry in many house
holds One ingenious woman has hit upon
an excellent plan. a change from the use
Of hooks and curtain poles. She took
a barrel hoop. covered 1t with cambria.
and by means Of strong ribbon sus-
pended the hoop from nail on the under
side Of a shelf and ranged her gowns on
the hangers, placing them on the hoop.
The hoop admits Of hanging many gowns

COMMENCEMENTS NOW ON AT MARION
JudsOn College, Marion In- stitute and Marion Semin-
 ary Close This Week

Marion, May e-(SpeciaL) 1.-The 1912 commencement season opened last night. For the first time in many years the clos ing exercises of Judson college, Marion seminary and Marion institute are to be crowded into the brief space of six days and nights, which has been caused by the faculty of Judson shortening their session and closing two weeks earlier than sched- uled.
 Last night members of the senior class and of the department of expression at Marion seminary presented the annual class play, The Three Chauffeurs," to an audience that completely filled the audi torium.
 The present year has been an event of marked progress at the seminary and un- der the guidance of the Presbyterans the school is being brought up to it's former influence and usefulness.
 Tonight at Judson auditorium the an- nual expression recital was given under the direction of Miss Robbie Wakefield. The class presented a light drama, en- titled "The Butterflies" by Carlton.
 So far but few visitors have arrived and Marion hasn't awakened to the events which usually occur at this time of the year.
