Lincoln" tells Of a conversation Cen
cral Sherman had with a courtly old
planter at whose fine mansion the gen
eral and some OF his staff had stopped
one noon on the march to the sea. The
old planter talked with Sherman about
the causes Of the war. and finally.
pointing to some OF the passing union
troops, asked what state they came
from. Sherman leaned over the porch
and told the men TO throw out their
flag. They did so, and Sherman, turn

"They are the Thirtieth Wisconsin"

We'll, there we're a thousand when
they started" said Sherman.
DO you mean," asked the planter,
that there is state called Wiscon-
sin that has sent 10000 men into your
armies?"
"oh, probably 10000" answered
Sherman.
With the next body Of troops the
questions and answers were repated
The flag was that OF the Thirty-second
Minnesota. The old planter had never
heard that there was such a state.
My Cod" he exclaimed when he had
figured out the thousands of men who
had come to the front from those so
called Indian territories to maintain
the existence of the nation. III we in
the south had known that you had
turned those Indian territories into
great states we never would have gone

THE incident" remarks the author.

Of men, even of we'll educated men in
the south, at the outbreak of the war.

the coming contest they would have
to deal only with New England and

appear to be elongated, conical-shaped
ridges in the stone, broken at frequent
intervals by depresslons. DR.. A. c..

WHICH WAS THE PRISONER
Queer Experience Of Federal and Con-
federate Soldiers While Endeavor.
ing 10 Make Escapes.

In the second battle for the posses
sion of the Weldon railroad, which
was fought on August 10, 1864, a Ger.
tain Massachusetts regiment suddenly
found the woods in its rear filled with
Confederate troops. The widest con
fusion ensued. Every man looked out
for himself Among them was a Ger.
tain sergeant who started to the rear
toward his batteries, the situation OF
which he determined from the line OF
fire.
He had gone but short distance
when he met a Confederate soldier
seeking safety in the opposite direc
tion. Both, Of course, were armed.
Halt" commanded the sergeant
The Confederate came to full
stop, but promptly called upan the
Yankee to surrender.
Not T." returned the sergeant.
IT'S no use to stand out" said the
other. "Our troops will soon be
along in force. and you'n be taken any
way" Not being anxious to live on
short rations at a southern prison,
the sergeant still refused to surreR
der.
Il tell you what" he said, at last,
well settle it this way, Well both
put our guns on the ground and lie
down beside them If the Confeder.
ates come first, I'll surrender to you
But if the Union troops come along
first, you surrender to me-"
"All right" said the other.
Both threw their guns down and
dropped beside them. The Union bat
teries we're still playing on the woods,
and the air was filled with bursting
shells. The two men hugged the
ground as close as they could At
last after the firing began to flag a
little, a squad OF Federal soldiers
came along
You've got me, Yank!" the Con-
federate admitted. And together the
sergeant and his prisoner rushed to
the rear, away from the thunder of the
Union guns.-Youth's Companion

MISS AND MRS.

There is an EFFORT made In certain
quarters TO ignore the distinction be
tween Miss and Mrs. as applied TO
married and single women, AZ TO
cent women's convention at Chicago
the presiding officer, who was an un'
married woman, had her cards print
ec with Mrs. preceding her name, 1t
is understood that this is simply a
Gymptom OF a widespread movement
OF course the idea Is TO destroy this
class distinction, which induces differ
ent proprieties and rights, which In
both cases should be the same. This
would make the style the same as
holds with men. who use the word
Mr. 20 both the married and unmar.
ried, Now II seems II there should be
a distinction in naming women, in or
der TO tell whether they are married
or unmarried, the same distinction
should be made with regard to men,
for Il might very often be handy to
know, for social and business reasons,
whether a man is single or not AZ
least a man should appear before so
ciety Just what he Is, married or un'
married, for all the reasons, and
more, too that women are so designat-
ed, It might be better reform for
the women to continue their classified
ton Of Miss and Mrs, and extend to
men the obligation OF a like dlstinc'
tion, so that the married men cannot
play off as unmarried, which Is the
source Of so much complication.
