Then They Got Big Surprise When
Daylight Appeared.
The father of Joseph Altsheler, the
writer Of war stories. was a Prussian
who came to this country a few years
before the war between the states
broke out and settled in Barren county,
Kentucky. BY reason of his foreign
birth the elder Altsheler was not sub
Ject to draft by either army when hos
tilities began, but his southern sym
pathies made him obnoxious to a group
of bushwhackers who, posing as Fed
erals, infested the vicinity Of the Ken
tucky-Tennessee state line.
One starless. moonless night In the
summer OF 1868 a neighbor came with
the word that the bushwackers were
on their way to kill Mr.. Altsheler and
another resident Of the vicinity who
had been outspoken in his approval of
secession, 1t was not certain, the mes
senger said. which road of two the
marauders would take to reach the
homes Of their proposed victims; but it
was certain that they would be along
soon.
Mr.. Altsheler and the other threat
ened man gathered up a blanket apiece
and went into the woods to hide In
the darkness they speedily lost all
sense of direction. For an hour they
wandered about, seeking a suitable
camping place Finally they came to
a spot that was free OF trees and
where the ground felt smooth under
foot SO they spread their blankets
and went to sleep. secure in the be
lief that no bushwhacker could find
them there
The rising sun, shining in their faces,
walked them. They sat up and looked
around. They bad been asleep all
night at the only place where the
raiders could not have failed to find
them had their plans been carried out
at the forks of the county roal,-Satur-

Transmittina Electricity,

When an electric current flows
through a conductor 1t is not sent or
pushed through, like a fluid In pipe,
but is rather handed on from particle
to particle. In other words. 1t Is a
transfer Of electrical energy which can
be illustrated by setting up a row OF
rubber balls tangent to each other.
Now, IL we strike these balls at one
end the energy will be transferred
from ball to ball and can be utilized at
the other Here we had no actual
flow, and yet the energy was transfer
red from one end to the other.
The basic units which we use are the
unit OF the rate of fow, or ampere; the
unit of electrical pressure, or volt, and
the unit of resistance to iow, or the
ohm.-Aera.

EMOTIONS OF ANGER.

There are u few universal ia abits In
the human race which have strange

"'And, by iove It won't make any

MARRY TO BECOME MEN.
In Korea Males Are Looked Upon as

The Koreans marry very young, gen.
orally between the ages OF twelve and
fifteen. For woman to reach twenty
without marrying is considered q ter

weddings is that they would appear to
be a matter OF interest to every one
except the parties mostly concerned,
who often see one another for the first
time on the wedding morning. This Is
because In Korean household the
boys are kept apart from the girls, the
father and the sons occupying the
front Of the house aud the mother and
daughters living in the rear OF the es-
tablishment Moreover. In their social
life the boys are not allowed to mix
