to restore their numbed hands; then would
lang our feet out of the strrups that the blood
would run down into our frozen legs; occasionally
the whole command would get down and trudge
for a mile through the frozen snow to keep from
freezing. That thirty miles, the coolest ride we
had ever known, seemed an age long.
"At length, about ? o'clock in the morning
we drew near to the federal camp. As leader
ranged Us in line for the charge, about hundred
yards from the enemy's pickets, we had to lift
up our legs to put our feet back in the stirrups
so utterly benumbed were they; and when we
came to draw our Colts navy-six revolvers-for
we had no use for the clums. and almost harmless
sabre-we found that we could not cock them with
our fingers. SO we held the weapons clasped be
tween our wrists and cooked them with our teeth
for first volley Suddenly the word 'Charge!'
was given, and with a yell we swept down upon
the sleeping camp
THE whole fight We over in less than two min
utes, for the enemy, taken wholly by surprise,
could not rally to make any organized resistance,
but fled from their tents TO the protection Of the
town, about mile away. When ! came to MYSELF
/ was sitting on ny horse with one leg thrown
over the pummel Of my saddle. My overcoat was
flung wide open, my jacket beneath was also
thrown wide the flannel shirt beneath that was
unbuttoned and | had barred my naked breast
down which tine sweat was pouring, to the cooling
breezes of that arctic night! Moreover, / was
tanning my damp brow with my hat, held in my
naked hand. In short | was almost overcome
with the heat and all around me, my comrades
were in just the same condition. And two min
utes before we had all been too frozen to cock
pistol or lift foot in stirrup! That evidences
something of the real heat Of battle"

said with truth.
We do not hardly dare 10
tell the plot of this opera,
having already bluShed
pretty freely for us, but the
English language in which
it is sung makes it as plain
as the most easily shocked
could wish for.
1t seems a shame for peO-
pie to waste their time sing

realistic as Miss Ewell and
Mr.. Bergman and Mr.
Kreidler. We know Of Il

enough to take part in.
We specially liked the
way Mr.. Kreidler kissed

DAHROSCH BEATS THE AIR AND THE
ORCHESTRAS OFF.

Nj Damrosch saw himself as the leader, way

They're Off
Critics tell us there is such thing muddy

They are no sooner off than Mr. Damrosch
points his baton at the great big German who
plays the cello
The privilege Of utterance is thus achieved
by the German. Only a moment before he was
in the midst Of a mastery argument with
Freedman, who plays a shiny little thing, as to
who started it.
As soon as the baton removes the embargo the
German begins, in the language of Spencer, Wv
idly and completely TO impress on said French
man and all representatives of the Allies present
the emotions he experiences from moment to mo-
ment.

rnown within the memory of the oldest inhab

zero; in addition, there was a crusted snow on
the ground and a strong wind blew from the
northwest, the direction of our road. We were
all veterans, however, hardened by more than
two years of constant service in the saddle, and
besides we were all well and warmly clothed, for
our position brought many federal wagon trains
into our net And so, about O'Clock that after
noon, we started gayly forth, singing as we rode
