CONTRASTS THE BEST MATES
ouiet Men Should Wed vIvacious
Women, an English Opinion,
Expressed In Print.

Does the average man prefer the
demure, coy kind Of girl or the
bright and vivacious girl-in all proba.
bility firt-and which kind OF a
girl makes the better wife," This is
the question on which modern girl
asks opinion through London news
poper.
II have read in your paper many
opinions on the modern, girl given by
young men," she writes, "but have
not found an answer to the question
which countless other girls besides
myself would like answered.
ut seems to me that the average
man marrles the coy, quiet girl, but
after a few years of married life is
apt to seek the society of the viva
cious girl. very often at the expense of
his wife's happiness"
Here are some opinions of London
people:
Rev. G. H. Grundy, vicar of st.
Peters, Brockley, believes in the at
traction of the opposite.
II think the quiet man generally
nlarries, and generally should marry,
the vivacious GIRL he says, and the
bright, vivacious man, on the con-
trary, prefers and gets on better with
his opposite.
Some Of the quietest men have
KNOWN" he said, Thoroughly enjoy
the vivaciousness of their wives.
Men like contrasts. You don't
want replica of yourself You want
variety. A wife who is your double
doubles your dullness.
1.-The best wife is the contrast wife,
and if you are both alike your home is
dull and monotonous."

We usually consider our best friends

The First Missouri cavalry wasted
so little time getting organized in 81
that the war department had no arms
to give it, and SO the regiment equip
ped itself, each man paying for his
own arms.
And that's how it happened" said
F. G. Dorsey of 5000 Brooklyn avenue,
Kansas City, who was a member of
the regiment, that the First Missouri
was the best armed cavalry that went
to the front. Every man was mounted
on thoroughbred and armed with a
Colts slx-shooting carbine, two Colts
navy revolvers and a French saber
We had ten companies from Illinois
and one Indiana besides the Missouri
recruits. We were such good look
ing troop beside some of the other
hastily armed cavalry that had all
kinds of mounts and arms that there
was sharp competition for us by nu-
merous commands. We served sue
cessively under Siegel, Fremont and
Curtis. And we weren't all looks, eth
er. We fought from Missouri to Ten
nessee and back again.
AT Pea Ridge the Confederates had
a force of Indians under General Pike.
These Indians scalped and robbed the
dead after the battle and when our
cavalry heard of it there was no hold
ing them in. We had an Irishman
whose comrade-he called him his
'buddle'-had met this fate. He put
spurs to his horse and rode I'D to
where some troops We're escorting an
Indian prisoner and shot him dead.
When the guards demonstrated the
freshman offered to fight any Of them,
but the offer was declined. We took
five Indian prisoners in that battle.

more invincible. Our army was dis
organized it's commanders had failed
and the men had got so used to the
| heart-breaking order to fall back that
they almost felt it was useless to ad.

''Then came Grant. We knew little
about Grant in the east We had
heard, of course, of his successes in
the west, but We had seen so many
regulations shattered that we we're
not easily moved to hope for anything
different. When we went into the
Wilderness it seemed like repetition
of past experiences. In the opening
days of that campaign and after two
days Of blind fighting, we were 1anked
by the same tactics Lee had used sue
cessfully so often before, and knew
we were defeated again. Our regi-
ment lay on its arms that night ex-

order came in the morning all right,

Of the end for Lee and the Army of
Northern Virginia"
A story is told Of a bugler, French
man. who, in the fight at Springfield,
Mo, was ordered to sound a signal.
He failed to obey, but was seen a few
minutes later fighting for all he was
worth in the front ranks. When the
conflict was over, the commanding
officer said to him: You disobeyed
my order in the midst OF battle. l dis
miss you'll! Whereupon the man ex.
hibited his bugle, the mouthpiece of
which had been shot away He said:
"The mouth was shoot off. could
not bugle wiz mon bugle, and SO l
bugled wiz mon pistol and saber."
Subsisting entirely on a few grains
of parched corn which cost fifty cents
an ear was one of the experiences of
Gen. Hiram F. Devol, who organized
the first company in the Thirty-sixth
Ohio regiment at Marietta, O. The
soldiers were in a starving condition
at Chickamauga when General Grant
arrived. Heavy guards were used to
protect what little food could be found
and it was not until the battle of Mis-
sionary Ridge had been fought and
won that General Devol's regiment
could get food supplies brought to
them by the railroads.
