1t Wasn't Because He Was Brave and

General Basil Duke of Louisville,
commander of Morgan's cavalry fol-
lowing the death of his brother-in-law,
General John Morgan, told this story
at reunion of the survivors of the
battle of Shiloh
He said that during one of the Ten

prised and drove back a regiment of
Federal troopers. In the midst of the
retreat one Of the enemy, who was
mounted upon a big bay horse. sud-
denly turned and charged the victori-
GUS Confederates full tilt, waving his
arm and shrieking like mad as he bore

such marvellous courage, the Confed-
crates forbore shooting the approach

them they saw there was different
reason for his foolhardiness.

had run away with him. The bit had

REAL ROOF GARDENS.

Tho Kind They Plant on Log Cabins
In Rural Norway.
The log cabins of rural Norway are
built of heavy pine logs hewed square
and of equal size from end to end.
They are usually stained or oiled, and
their rich yellowish or brownish color
is in harmony with almost any sur
roundings. Their roofs are sodded, a
circumstance that adds picturesqueness
to the general effect.
81 have come across roofs that were
a riot of wild pansies," says a writer
In the Craftsman, "and / have seen
wonderful roofs where wild roses hung
over the caves or daisy roof, the ef-
feet of whose white, starlike flowers,
topping the dark brown structure, was
e1quisitely picturesque.
"Some roofs produce only pasture
grass, and the story runs in Norwegian
folklore that a lazy man led his COW on
the roof-the cabin was built against a
hill-instead of taking her to the pas
ture. I have no doubt that the story is
true. for / have often seen a couple OF
white kidlets gamboling on the soft
green housetops while the mother goat
grave and ruminative, was tethered tC
the chimney.
"Sod roofs are just as water tight as
others if they are laid correctly. a
board roof is first laid upon house
and this is covered with layer Of
birch bark. On top of this comes
layer of sod with the grass turned dowI
to the roof, then rather thick laye
of earth and finally another layer o
sod, this time with the grass up. TIT
result is a most exquisite and poetica
covering for the house"
