SEMI T-cE1VIIzNARY or sHEFIDAN's RIDE MOST DRAMATIC OF, H1xFLorr E
 or CIVIL WAH.

faoeTnss patnHngss school histories and the movies. have served to per- spetuate in the popular mind the i'm mortal twenty mile ride Of Gen. Philip Henry Sheridan. which perhaps made q more powerful appeal to the north ern imagination than any other sirazsle exploit of the American civil war. It was just half a. century ago today on Oct. 19. 1884, that .sSheridan's rfdes. was added to the long list of the dra- naatic incidents Of warfara Just ten years earlier the heroes Of Balalxlava had been immortaIized by Tenmyson i1l his poem, The Charge CT the Six Hundred" " and the American cavalry leader was paid a similar tribute. honas Buchanan Read was the. 4 Arnerican Tennyson who transformed
 Sheridan's Rfde,s Into literature, pro dueing a. poem which will probably be recdted by schooIboys as long as the world honorS military prov eSs.
 On Oct 19, 1864, Sheridan had been to Washington and had reached Win chester twenty miles from his army, on the return trip. In Ftale early morn= fy miles away. the Union soldiers were surprised at Cedar Creek by a flank movement of EaarIys Confeder- ate army They had not expected an attack, and fled in utter rolTt with the victorious Confederates in close pursuit Sheridan, riding southward, heard the roar Of artillery, and pushed his horse at full speed. Every AneFi- can school boy holds in his mind a mental picture of that wild ride and of the arrival Of the general among his d1sordered and living troops.
 Come on. boysI Wie,pe going be6clri,' Sheridan sa1oubed. InstantIy the panic and fear changed to bravery and de- termination The lines were quickly \ 5x1 7dfz& | which followed the victorious Confed- crates were so severely repuIsed that Harlyss army never afterward made head in the valley. Sheridan was re- warded with appointment to the rank ! of major general and was placed in chief command of the federal cavalry. The thanks of Congress were rendered tq aldm for the gallantry. military skill, and courage displayed in the brilliant series of vistories achieved by his army in the valley of the Shen- andoah. especially at Cedar Creek
 Sheridan was one Of the most dar- ing and able of modern military lead CTS, and at the same time one of the most modest of men. It has been said
 of him that he never lost 3. battle. and that he invariably turned defeat iH1tc victory by his arrival Gen. Sheridan was one of the American observers
 during the Franco -Prussian war.

A Dainty Kodak Book

Nearly every family has some kind
of camera, so a little kodak book is
sure to prove a pleasing gift A very
attractive one may be made with
blueprint pictures. These are printed
in the sunlight, and are less expen-
sive than the black-and-white prints.
One of these little books seen re-
Gently was made of water-color pa
per, with covers six-by eight inches,
tied with blue ribbon. On the front
Kodak Views" was lettered in blue.
This was to be a gift to an aunt
who lived at a distance and pictures
of all the family were used; also
pictures of their pets, their home,
etc. Some of these were printed on
little squares of diamond-shaped
pieces of paper, showing just a per-
sons head and shoulders, and they
fitted in nicely among the larger
ones.
This idea may be carried out in
many different ways, and If one has
several good negatives on hand the
work and expense are slight, and the
gift is sure to be appreciated by the
recipient.-Buffalo Sunday Times.

A lively scramble game is started
by stretching a clothesline across
one end of the room and pinning
heavy worsted stockings to It with
clothespins. a basket of rosy ap-
pies is provided and as many wood

there will be players contesting at
once. Six is a good number, for the
ordinary sized living room will
hardly accommodate more than half
a dozen lively contestants at one
time.
The object is to see which of the
six can soonest fill his or her stock
ings with the apples. which have
to be dipped up, carried and dropped
into the stocking with the wooden
spoon. OF course, each player is
given a certain stocking. which he
