SABINE CROSSROADS
Thirteenth Corps Rescued After Order
Had Been Given for Every Man
to Save Himself.

/ was serving in Battery G, Fifth
regulars, and was assigned. to the
Fifth brigade, cavalry corps, and was
on the advance in the Red River ex-
petition, writes Henry X. McFadden
OF Cedar Grove, Me-, in the National
Tribune. We had been following the
Confederates as fast as we could to
prevent them from burning cotton.
All the time 1t was drawing us from
the Nineteenth corps. We had got
ahead Of the Third and Fourth divi-
sions of infantry. They hurried the
Fourth along, and sem for the Third
division but the Confederates at as
bine Crossroads came around through
the woods on our right flank to cut
OF our retreat.
The wagon train had been follow
ing right along, day after day. They
would stop for an hour or SO, while
we had a duel with the Co~nfederates;
then they would come right along.
They crossed Padres bayou, and when
they turned the corner and were re-
treating on another road the Confed-
crates began to fire. The teamsters
obliqued to the side of the road and
ran, and a caisson Of Battery G went
to go between two wagons. when the
wheel of the caisson locked into the
wheel Of a wagon. Just then Gen.
Stoneman rode along and gave the or
der for every man to look out for him
self.
l stepped out between the wheels,
and Comrade Briggs, a driver, was
shot in the neck, taken prisoner and
died Of his wounds. ] met some saw
airy. They engaged with the Confed-
where the Nineteenth corps was
forming. General Banks was riding
along between the two lines, telling
them the Thirteenth corps was
whipped. and If they were defeated all
would be lost. General Stone was on
his horse, telling every man to fall in
the rear Of the Nineteenth corps.
In about half an hour or less the
C~onfederates came out of the woods
in a good line of battle, and when they
got up to within 800 yards Banks or
dered the Nineteenth corps to fire by
volley. They loaded and fired again,
then loaded and lay down, and let the
Thirteenth corps fire over them.
The C~onfederates charged u right
flank, but were driven back, and as
near as l can remember we fired five
or six times. After dark Banks posted
pickets. All honor to the Nineteenth
corps. that saved the Thirteenth
corps.

UnSympathetic,

The following story is one of John
Drew's favorites.
A man lost his life in a great flood.
He was dead, but in the spirit world
he lived over and over again the ap-
palling scene and incidents through
which he had just passed. 1t seemed
to him that he must talk it over with
some one.
He therefore approached an elder.
ay nan and told him the story Of how
ne died, giving a vivid word picture
and making a lurid tale. To his great
surprise, the old man showed little
interest; in fact, he appeared to be
bored. At last. being rather annoyed
at such Indifference, he asked the
reason.
Don't you know who l am?" asked
the other.
why. no, l don't" was the answe
I've only just arrived"

HER "BEST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider our best friends
those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is one OF the
meanest Of all enemies, for it stabs
one while protesting friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
up disease in one or more organs Of
the body, If its use is persisted in.
Il had heart palpitation and nerv.
for four years and the doctor
told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave it OF,
Wis. lady.
"On the advice Of a friend / tried
Postum and 1t SO satisfied me I did not
care for coffee after a few days trial
of Postum.
A weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight Increased
from SO to lib pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. I have used it year
now and am stronger than I ever was.
I can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitation, and / am free from
nervousness.
my children are very fond Of Post
UNI and 1t agrees with them. My sister
liked 1t when she drank 1t at my house;
now she has Postum at home and has
become very fond of it. You may use
my name If you wish, as l am not
ashamed of praising my best friend

trated form called Instant Postum. Il

Time Is Sometimes Kind.

Father Time is not always a hard
parent, and, though he tarries fol
none of his children, often lays his
hand lightly upon those who have
used him well, making them. old men
and women inexorably enough, but
leaving their hearts and spirits young
and in full yigor. With such people
the gray head is but the impression
of the old fellows hand in giving
them his blessing, and every wrinkle
but a notch in the quiet calendar
of a well-spent life.-From Barnaby

once in four weeks that each mother
has all the children, it does not be-

their party day, and most thoroughly
enjoy 1t. They usually make a kin
