An Attack That Wholly 0smoraiizsd

An Attack That Wholly 0~smoraiized
the Partisan Rangers.
Colonel John 8. Mostly. commander
Of the Partisan rangers, who gave
such dashing service In the southern
cause told Of an amusing incident In
which be figured.
In the summer Of 1894 when General
Phil Sheridan was in the valley OF the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who vas continu-
ally cutting of his supply trains. An
army cannOt fight IN al empty stom-
ach, and Mostly knew 1t. One bright
morning Mosby heard that a long sup
ply train was winding its way down
the valley. BY noo the rangers In
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks Of the valley pike, watching
for the head of the wagon train to ap-
pear.
Presently a cloud 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 draws
by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the
order to run a little howitzer up on the
side of n hill and unIimber it. Az o
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 20
sition and began to swab 1t out. Sud-
denly the man with the swab gave a
shrill yell. seized the seat Of his panta-
loons and fed down the hill and out
into the road. Almost in the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned 1t. 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 conduct.
He ordered four mel 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. Mostly rode toward the gun. but
his stay was short. The howitzer stood
Just over a hornets nest, and those
busy insects were resenting the intru-
sion. They had repealed the invaders
on foot. and now they swarIned on
Mosby's horse till the maddened ami
mai tore of down the pike on a run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest Of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any idea Of standing
by the gun. They scattered far and
wide. and 1t was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train bad safely vanished In the dis
lance. So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan.-YOuth's Companion.

How to Care For overshoe..

When buying overshoes be careful to
see that you get those that have not
been left 0ver from last season. Even
the best quality will deteriorate during
the heat Of summer and veal out
much faster than the new stock.
The cracks In rubber OvershOes. which
will soon result In holes. rendering the
shoe useless. may be nicely mended
with a piece of surgeons adhesive
plaster. Fit a piece of rubber OF thick
felt into the heel and then cover this
with the plaster. 1t will be a protec-
ton against wear.
When rubbers look old apply a coat
ing Of patent leather shoe polish and
they will he like new.

ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
Evolved From the Lyre Of the High
Priest Of Osiris.


The history of the piano counts az q
day compared to the harp. We have
authentic records that as early as
1900 B. C. the first Tyre was evolved
from the mind of the high priest OF
Osiris. who in n Of his daily walks
along the banks of the river Nile found
an empty tortoise shell spanned with
dried ligaments. Happening to strike
1t. he noticed that it gave forth pleas
ing sounds. and he at once made an
instrument On the plan Of the tortoise
shell.
From the Tyre it was but ar easy
step to the harp. now the most famous
instrument in the world. Milesius, one
of the PhOenician priests, carried 1t
with him in bis conquest to Ireland.
and there he planted it among the mu-
sic loving Celts in 1900 b. q. The royal
instrument became a controlling feas
ture in druidical worship. and the harp
list or bard ranked with royalty. the
prophet and the priest. The druids
advanced the harp from eleven to thir.
ty-two strings and crowned their eff
forts in its improvement by the evOlu-
ton Of the pillar. which has ever since
found universal adoption.
Our modern harp consists of forty
five or fOrty-seven strings. seven ped
als-one for each note in the octave
and the wonderful instrument shares
with the piano and organ the faculty
of being autonomous-th that is to say. it
needs no accompaniment and furnishes
both melody and harlnony.--Miss LO-
retta De Lone in New York Tribune.

AN INSPIRING ADMINISTRATION
-HE MANNER in whlch secretal

-HE MANNER in which Secretary of Commerce Redfield has gone
 about the life-protecting work that is required on the Alaskan coast is inspiring. In a speech at San Fran cisco a few days ago, in almost the identical words used by The Empire the day after the wreck, he said that responsibility for the loss of S1 lives on the State of California was direct Iy upon the government. He proposes that there shall be no more lives sac rificed by lack of governmental at tention to the condition of the Alas kan waters.
 This means that another Department of the Wilson administration is meas uring up to the full requirements of the hour. Never before has the like of it been at Washington. It was a great day for Alaska when the Ameri' can people selected Wilson to be their President.

 it has been 42 days since the Juneau municipal administration pub lished its annual report, and gave to the public an account of it's steward ship, and r days since the Citizens ticket was announced, there has been no attempt to make specific or submit proof of the grave charges that have been made in general terms against the present City Council and the can didates on the Citizens ticket. Fair ness demands that these accusations be made specific and the proof of them presented in ample time for those charged to mako reply.

A favorite expression with those jingocs who think 1t would be undig- nified for the United States to take the chip off it's shoulder by repeating the tolls exemption clause of the Pan- ana canal act is that it would be fool ish for any one to expect American ships to pay tolls for using an Ameri- can canal. Yet. the same act that con- taius the exemption clause requires the United States to pay tolls on its own ships-uavGl and otherwise.

They recognize. apparently, that if they cannot get something out of this question the Democrats will sweep the Nation next November by majori. ties that will exceed those of 1912. and in their anxiety 70 catch a straw. they gre iudulgiug in wrecklessness of statement that reminds one of the manner that some Alaskans try to conduct political discussions. How ever. Senator Jones was compelled to withdraw some of the charges that he made in his famous speech. and there are others. who. in all probabil- ity. will wish long before the close of the debate and campaign that they had rstracted as gracefully as the Washingtonian did when there was yet time.
 Senators Lodge and Penrose learned early in the Wilson administration that the President and Secretary of State know what they are about. They were the first to attack the new administrations foreign policy, and both of them learned early that they could not rely upon statements that had been made to them involving the capacity or good faith of Wilson and Bryan. Then Jones discovered that he had been monkcyiug with a buzz saw. Now others. in their eagerness
