M0SBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly Demoralized
the Partisan RANGERS.

Colonel John s.. Mosby. commander
Of the Partisan rangers, VINO gave
such dashing service In the southern
cause. told OF an amusing incident in
which he figured.
In the summer OF 1864 when General
Phil Sheridan was In the valley of the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who was continu-
ally cutting off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight on an empty stom-
ach, and Aosby knew 1t. One bright
morning Mosby heard that long sup
ply train was winding its way down
the valley. BY noon the rangers in
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks OF the valley pike, watching
for the head OF the wagon train to ap-
pear.
Presently n cloud OF dust was seen
rising far up the road. and as the wind
blew II aside the COnfederates caught
sight OF line OF men In blue escorting
a caravan Of numbering wagons dra wn
by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the
order TO run little howitzer up on the
side Of hill and unlimber IL. AS soon
as the gun had opened fire the rest Of
the men were TO make cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into po-
sitlon and began to swab 1t out. Sud
denly the man with the swab gave
shrill yell, seized the seat Of his panta-
looms and fed down the hill and out
into the road. Almost In the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned It. lie seemed to be fight
Ing at the air as be disappeared over
a stone wall.
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer. and Mosby did not know what
to think Of such extraordinary conduct.
He ordered four more men to the gun.
but hardly had they reached II when
they, too. yelled. began TO beat the air
madly with their hats and took to
flight.
Spurring his horse over the ste ne
wall. Mosby rode toward the gun, IT
his stay was short. The howitzer stood
just over n hornets nest, and those
busy insects were resenting the intru
sion. They had repealed the invaders
on foot, and now they swarmed on
Mosbys horse till the maddcned ami
mai tore off down the pike on run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest Of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave IlD any idea of standing
by the gun. They scattered far aud
wide. and IL was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train had safely vanished in the dis.
tance. SO the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan.-Youth's Companion.

LENT WILL BEGIN
EARLY THIS YEAR
Forty-day Season Starts on
Feb. ~, on Account of
Early Easter.
MILLINERY OPENINGS
Most of Local Shops Will
Have Openings About
March 10 or IA.

BY this time next month all of tho
local millinery shops will be busy in
anticipation of the opening of the
Easter millinery season. Most of the
local shops have their openings on
Thursday or Friday preceding Palm
Sunday, or about ten days before
Easter. 1t is likely that the shops
will have their openings on Friday or
Saturday this year. However, great
deal depends upon the weather, one
milliner said today.
For only the fourth time since 1888,
Lent will begin as early as February
II. This year Easter will fall on the
23rd of March. This forty-day season
prescribed by the churchas one Of
fasting and prayer never has begun
any earlier, except in one year, 1919.
Easter that year fell on March %.
Owing to the early arrival of Lent
the season" will be one of the short
est on record. Easter frequently has
fallen as late as April Is or Is, and
probably will hit" in and around
some of these dates between 1914
and 2013.
In the later year, according to the
church almanac, the date will again
be March 90 So those who suffer
by falling off of business this win
ter in consequence of the early date
need not look for a repetition o fthe
situation during their lifetime, for 1t
will not happen again for one hundred
years. In the past Easter has come
as early as March q, in 1888, 184S
and 1856.
Easter, and Of course, the beginning
of Lent, is a movable feast and is
fixed by the churches hundreds Of
years ago, when they were attempting
to settle upon a fixed date for Easter.
