Attended Only One Reunion.

The passing of Col. Mosby on Me-
mortal day struck sadness to the hearts
of his thousands of friends throughout
the city, among veterans of the blue
and gray alike. 1t is related of Col.
Mosby that he never attended but one
reunion of "Mosby's men," that held
at Alexandria, Va, twenty-five years
ago, at which time he was so affected
that he and his entire audience were
moved to tears. The experience was so
affecting to Col. Mosby that he never
participated in another reunion.
OF recent years Col. Mosby lived
with his daughter. Mrs. Stuart Cole
man, of 1440 Rhode Island avenue
northwest. Besides this daughter, two
other daughters are living. Miss Ada
Mosby and Miss Pauline Mostly of Bal
timore; a son, Beverly c. Mosby of
the state of Washington and two sis
tiers, Miss Blakely Mosby and Mrs.
Charles w. Russell of this city.
Dared Death Many Times.
Col. Mosby dared death over fifty
years ago when, at the head of band
of few hundred Confederate raiders,
he rode up and down the Shenandoah
valley, capturing outposts, destroying
supply trains and cutting off means of
communication. 1t has been estimated
that he often neutralized the force of
over $1,000 Federals in the valley.
Born in Powhatan county, Va, De-
cember s, 1893, and graduated from the
University of Virginia in 1852, he was
practicing law in Bristol. Va, when the
war broke out, and he began his career
in the Confederate army. He proved
his daring with such effect that he be-
came a scout for Gen. J. E. B. Stuart,
and led the celebrated raid around Nc
Clellan's army on the Chickahominy.
In Richmond, year later, he recruited
an independent cavalry troops, which
became famous as Mosby's Partisan
Rangers. They became night riders,
and the terror of the Federal troops
Mosby's most brilliant exploit was the
capture of Gen. Stoughton. On a March
night in 1853 he, with thirty followers,
rode through the federal army to Fairfax
Court House, only fifteen miles from
Washington, where Gen. Stoughton was
asleep. Although surrounded by an army
said 10 have been 1900 strong, the
rangers calmly kidnapped the general, his
stan and many sentries and turned them
over to the Confederate authorities at
Culpeper without having lost man.
Life Saved by Gen. Grant.
Gen. Grant once later saved Mosby
from hanging. and the two foes Of the
battlefield became stanch friends. Mosby
stumped the state of Virginia for Grant
during his presidential campaign and was
rewarded with an appointment as consul
at Hongkong. post which he held for
seven years. When he returned to thu
Ing members Of his rangers and, to his
establishment, he found that a large per-
csntage of them had become ministers

tional and local questions of the day.
Funeral arrangements have not been

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
Be Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight With Oil Of korein.

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxygen
carrying power of the blood, the liver
becomes sluggish, fat rccumulates and
the action of many of the vital organs
are hindered thereby. The heart action
becomes weak. work is an effort and the
beauty of the figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy
and if nature is not assisted in throwing
it off by increasing the oXygen-carrying
power of the blood, serious case OF
obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting too
stout. take the matter in hand at once
Don't wait until your figure has become
joke and your health ruined through
carrying around burden of unsightly
and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air: breathe deeply, and
get from any druggist box of oil of
korein capsules; take one after each
meal and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few DAYS and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of Korein. is abso-
iutely. harmless, is pleasant to take, helps
the digestion and is designed to increase
the oXygen-carrying power of the blood.
Even few days treatment should show
noticeable reduction in weight There
is nothing better.-B. f. Bither, Augusta,

Dr.. Tucker "slams" Billy Sunday.

There is about as much religion in
one Of Billy Sundays sermons as in a
Charlie Chaplin comedy. Billy Sunday
Is a slapstick comedian, pure and sim
pie. Any hold which he may seem to
obtain upon tho masses is due entirely
to his ability as a hypnotist.
"He is the little glass which the mes
mertst holds up to the face Of a hyp-
motto patient. It Is inconceiveb.e that
his offensive and uneducated harangues
ever should appeal to persons Of intel
nsence or education"
The above quotation is from DR.. r.
win st. John Tucker Of Chicago, editor
Of the Christian Socialist, and an
Episcopal rector He threw this bomb
and more into the great camp of Bal
timore enthusiasts preparing on 4 gi-
gantic scale for Billy Sundays cam
paign there in February.
1t is another angle from which to
view the confusion Of the masses. One
tells them Of an all-saving doctrine and
another Immediately denounces him as
hypocrite and worse 1t is true in gos-
pei. politics and law. Whom can we
trust Of our self constituted leaders?
The doctors disagree, the courts dis
agree, the scholars disagree, the poll
ticians disagree-we all disagree. 1t is
a world Of cross-purposes and increas-
ingly 30, is 1t not?
Billy Sunday is unlikely to notice
DR.. fuckers voliey; he is too busy on
another Job. He does repel those of the
so-called higher intelligence and ul-
ira refinement. But. unhappily per-
haps. not all the people OF. even Balti-
more or Chicago are too intelligent or
90 refined to receive stronger concep-
tons Of moral duties and higher ap-

I;vina up 20 Prohibition.

Long lists might be given OF brew
aries distilleries and other LIQUOR
places. wholesale and retail, which
have been transformed into centers OF
bigger and better business by prohibi-
ton. Empty buildings and jobless bar
tenders are conspicuous exceptions to
the rule In the newly dry states. Drink
factories and dramshops are being con-
verted into industrial concerns which
employ a greater number Of men than
did tho alcoholic beverage traiac tn its
palmiest days. For example, the Rey-
mann brewery, Wheeling. West Vir-
Rinia, employed 81 men; the packing
plant which takes it place employs 1s6.
Other breweries have become manufac-
tories for soap, Ice. milk products, soft
drinks, etc. One at least is being util-
lied as a movie" studio, and one was
bought and is being remodeled for a
church. Distillers have been turned
into canneries and into plants for the
production of necessaries and luxuries
for which under prohibition there will
be increasing demand.
In buildings once occupied by saloons
there may be seen today in these dry
states, jewelry stores, groceries, mems
and women's furnishing shops. confec-
tioneries, restaurants. moving picture
places-all doing a thriving business.
saloonkeepers are going into more rep
utable lines Of trade, thus bringing
more satisfaction and self-respect to
themselves and more happiness to their
