Mosby Failed to Capture Train
Because of Them.
While Waiting for Federal Suffers
Wagons Confederate Rangers Met
With Warm Reception-Luck
With Men in Blue.

Boston.-Col. John S. Mosby, COM
mander of the Partisan Rangers, who
gave such dashing service in the south
ern cause fifty years ago, is living
now in the city of Washington, the
Youths Companion states. One of the
really amusing incidents that passed
under his notice during the war he
told not long ago.
In the summer Of 1854 when Gen.
Phil Sheridan was in the valley of
the Shenandoah, he found himself
much harassed by Mosby, who was
continually cutting off his supply
trains. An army cannot fight on an
empty stomach, and Mosby knew it.
One bright morning Mosby heard
that long supply train was winding
it's 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 appear.
Presently a cIouI of dust was seen
rising far up the road, and, as the
wind blew it aside. the Confederates
caught sight of a line of men in blue
escorting a caravan of numbering
wagons drawn by mules. Instantly
Mosby gave the order to run little
howitzer up on the side of the hill and

EGGLEsT0N STORY IS DENIED
No Such Man on the Merrimac, Says
2Capt. Bob Wright, Who Was
Our Engineer.

Richmond, Va.-"There was no such
man as j. e. Eggleston, chief engi-
neer, nor as assistant engineer on the
Merrimac," said Capt Bob Wright OF
this city after reading a press dispatch
from Sewanee, Tenn, telling of the
death of Eggleston and referring to
him as the last survivor of that IA
nous fighting vessel.
Captain Wright continued Il was
an assistant engineer on the James
town of the Confederate navy, and l
knew all the officers on the Merrimac
and all the other vessels in the feet.
l was in the navy during its entire
life Charles Ramsey of Baltimore
was the chief engineer of the Merri-
mac. He was an assistant engineer
in the United States navy, and when
war came he resigned and joined with
the Confederacy. He is living in
Baltimore at this time and is engaged
in the iron business. I think his
name was Charles Ramsey. At any
rate, there was a Ramsey, who was
the chief engineer, and there was no
Eggleston in the service that | ever
before heard Of and / have seen moth
ing of him in the records"
Captain Wright says that the last
survivors of the Merrimac are so
plentiful that he believes if all who
claim to have served on that vessel
had done so there would have been
men enough to have manned at least
ten vessels of the same size.

USE FOOTBALL IN BASEBALL
New Winter Game Invented by Penn
syIvania Professor Has Unique
Features-Accidents Few.

Baseball may soon be an all-year-
round sport, for you can now play it
with a football. The new friend OF
the magnate and the professional
players nemesis is Professor Bensco-
ter of the Wilkesbarre high school
AS inventor of the new game, he ex-
plains it as follows:
"A baseball can not be easily held
by players in cold weather, hence the
need of game with the larger, clum-
sier football. 1t is played on baseball
diamond, with the same number Of
players on a side, the most notable
difference being that there is no pitch
er; this player occupies the position
of another shortstop-rights hortstop'
between first and second.
THE ball is put into play by being
kicked from home plate and the run
ner hikes for first, as in baseball, and
is put out by the passing of the bali
to first ahead of him, as In baseball,
or being touched by it in the hands of
a player.
''The runner may not advance from
d DdS0 WuSu LuS jail 0dS UCOA puSoOA
to the baseman who touches the base
while the runner is there; this debaTs
the runner from advancing from the
base until it has been again kicked
out; it likewise debars any runner
back of him. The kick may be Of
any sort-place, punt or drop kick.
The runner may be declared out If he
advances from the base before the
ball is kicked out. If the ball is kicked
foul or the kicker is out; he is also
out if he fails in an attempt to kick.
1.-THE game is very lively, being full
of constant kicking, running, catching
and passing. 1t develops strength,
speed, accuracy, skill and with less
liability to accidents even than in
baseball on account of the freedom
from the chance of being injured by
a pitched or batted ball."

STRAY HORNETS SPIKED GUN

unlimber it. AS soon as the gun had
opened fire the rest of the men were
to make a cavalry charge and throw
the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into
position and began to swab it out
Suddenly the man with the swab gave
shrill yell, seized the seat of his
pantaloons and fed down the hill and
out into the road. Almost the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned it. He seemed to be fight
ing at the air as he disappeared over
a stone wall.
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer and Mosby did not know what
to think of such extraordinary con-
duct He ordered four more men to
the gun, but hardly had they reached
it when they, too, yelled, began to
beat the air madly with their hats
and took to fight.
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall Mosby rode toward the gun, but
his stay was short. The howitzer
stood just over a hornets nest and
those busy insects we're resenting the
intrusion. They had repealed the in
vaders Oh foot and now they swarmed
on Mosby's horse till the maddened
animal tore of down the pike on a
run. Then they turned their atten-
ton to the rest Of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that
the rangers gave up any idea of stand.
ing by the gun. They scattered far
and wide and it was an hour before
they returned. When they did the
wagon train had safely vanished In
the distance. So the hornets saved
the day for Sheridan.

Yale Loses Captain
Because of Conditions

Charles N. Snowdon of Pitts
burgh, Pa, has resigned as captain
of the Yale varsity crew. Thomas
B. Denegre of New Orleans has
been chosen to succeed him. This
announcement was made at
meeting of the Blue oarsmen.
Snowdons resignation was due
to his being ineligible to row in
the Harvard regatta next June.
AS captain and No. 2 of the crew
last year Snowdon devoted his aft
ernoons to the oarsmen and did
not put in sufficient time at his
studies to graduate. He will COM
plete his course about mid-year,
and this will render him ineligi-
BILE for the race in June with the
Crimson crew.
Denegree is a junior. He rowed
bow last year.

Application of new limitation OF

fails to meet with some degree OF re-
sentiment at the hands OF the work.
ers 1t is designed to benefit.
AS a case In point a writer
in the Christian Science Moni-
tor cites the situation in Ne
braska, where a law limiting the
hours OF women to 81 in week. not
over nine in one day, and forbiddins
their employment except In public
services. such as telephone exchanges,
after 10 p. N. is put in force. The
women object on the ground that It
will force them out of employment
and replace them with men. They find
that in factories that operate contin-
uousIy. having used two shifts, they
cannot be employed without the men
OF the other shift working Is hours.
They are disposed to sign agreements
waving the benefit of the law aud in
one case actually did this with the
expectation that it would be accept
able to the state authorities, as Of
course it was not.
Readjustments are not possible
without some friction but what Oma
ha Is now discovering was discovered
In every other city where the time OF
women's work was made shorter than
that still legal for men. 1t has yet to
be learned there that another chapter
follows, that women are not displaced
but that the shortening of hours has
its effect beyond what the law pro
yides. The two shifts in a day for
continuous operation soon yields to
three. The employment OF women is
still advantageous and the hours are
found workable. In the case of de-
partment stores, one of the instances
OF Omaha's concern, the length of
the trading day Is made less. And
when the process is completed there
is found not a loss to any number
but gain to the whole body that jus
titles the change. There is no record
Of turning back from regulations that
shorten woman's working day.

TURKEY MUST co SACK.

The powers have told Turkey to go
back to her strip Of territory and get
behind the lines OF her new boundary
in accordance with the terms of the
London conference some months ago.
The Turks have massed great
army, it seems, on the old Adriancple
site and announce that they will fight
for their former territory even against
the opposition Of the great European
powers as we'll az OF the allies.
We need not imagine that the bluff
will be carried very far. The conse-
Iqnence OF real defiance on the part OF
Turkey would be Just as apt to cause
the expulsion OF the Turk completely
from Europe as to leave him still in
the possession OF Constantinople.
Nothing has saved his political hide
until this time, except the inability of
the powers to know what to do with
Constantinople
Russia. OF course. knows what to do
with It, for she wants 1t, but she won't
let anybody else have 1t. and the other
powers won't let Russia have 1t. but
that is no reason why Turkey should
assumy to defy all the powers big and
little and threaten another war on a
large scale rather than yield and go
back to her new and contracted boun-
daries.
With the allies satisfied, with peace
declared between them and their re.
spective armies Withdrawn within
their own territories. it Ia not to be
imagined that Turkey will be allowed
TO defy all Of them for al are agreed
upon the settlement as 1t stands.
Only Turkey tries to hold great
stretch of territory that has been
wrenched away from her grasp, the
world hopes. forever.

GOOD ROADS.

All over the country interest in
good roads is now thoroughly aroused.
Many Of the states assume the great
er part OF the cost. The farmers
themselves are more appreciative of
good roads and more willing to meet
their expense. State roads are be-
ginning to be common. and any one
going around the farming districts in
wet weather is impressed BY the vast
/ difference between the firm. hard.
Iamooth surfaces of the roads made on
the maeadam or similar plan and the
slonghs which pass by the name OF
dirt roads" On these the wagons
turn out of the track in order to get
the 1rmer basis of the sod, and
promptly cut that up until from fence
TO fence there is nothing but mass
OF mire from four to six inches deep.
Good roads are good investment,
a better investment than the farmers
have been accustomed to realize. To
save expense in hauling their produce
to towns they could have afforded to
spend more than they were willing TO.
But now that state governments are
making liberal appropriations for high
ways and authorizing raising money
by bonds a marked improvement is
apparent and few years more viii
make great change In the conYen-
fence and cost Of travel through the
country.
The Good Roads Year Book, issued
by the American Association for High
way Improvement shows for the
whole country more than 100000
miles of roads, of which 224,00o miles
or tride over 10 per cent have been
improved The state bonds authoriz-
ed for roads and bridges amount to
nearly $4,000 900. The county and
town bonds for roads and bridges now
outstanding are over s155,000, 900.
The Year Book contains valuable
summary Of the road systems OF
European countries. and very much
other information relating to the
progress Of highway Improvement.
