New News Of Yesterday
The Generous Act of a
Brave Soldier
By Holland.

Two or three days before Grant and
Lee met in the little brick Mclean cot
tage at Appomattox some Of the sol
diers who we're serving under General
Custer captured several officers and
some of the private soldiers OF the
Confederate army. The prisoners
were taken at the battle of Sailors
Creek One of the prisoners was the
Confederate General Joseph Brevard
Kershaw. For bravery and skill
which characterized him at the first
battle of Bull Run he gained a reputa-
ton which was maintained until the
close Of the war. He was promoted
for merit from time to time. and il
was he who repulsed at Fredericks-
burg two violent attacks made by the
Federal troops on Marvey's Hill.
II was with distinguished courtesy
which conveyed a tribute 10 his high
reputation and to his personal char
acter that General Kershaw was re-
ceived by General Custer. In their
conversation, which was like that of
two old friends who had met after a
long separation, General kershaW
said that his son, then mere boy, and
member of his staff, had been cap
tured and he was greatly concerned
theroat, not knowing what would be-
come of him. Thereupon, General
Custer said;
General, I will do all | can TO find
him for you" And he caused in
quiry to be made all along the line un-
/ til at last the boy soldier was discOy-
cred and brought TO his father
/ The night was chilly. General Kor-
shaw had no personal effects. but hi.
son had a blanket. General Custer in
vited General Kershaw to share hil
tent, and the two generals went {,
sleep side by side. their coverings be
ing the blanket which the son insist
ed they should take.
The following morning after break
fast, which General Kershaw sharel
with General Custer, the Union gen
eral took his prisoner, who was ais
his guest. to one side, and said to him
General, you and your son viii, @
course, be sent to Fort Warren. a

General Kershaw was overwhelml
with this revelation of General Gu
ter's kindness But he said that
did not feel justified in accepting q
loan for two reasons: First. he did n
know whether he would ever be ali
to repay il. and. second, il was unfa

Advice to housewives to buy chickens
undrawn and with their heads and feet
still on is given by the United States
Department of Agriculture in a bulle-
tin Just issued.
An undrawn chicken, it says, shows
its lack of freshness or its unftness for
food much more clearly than does fully
dressed bird. A crafty poultry dresser
can easily remove certain significant
signs of staleness, the department
| warns.
When the feet Of chicken are re
moved the housewife loses one Of tho
easiest methods of telling the age Of the
bird. Young chickens have smooth, clean
feet and shanks. OH birds have rough
scaly legs and buttons or spurs. III,
head of a chicken that is not fresh viii
show a greenish color below the bill
sunken eyes and darkening or discol
oration on the neck, all of which indi
