BENSON MAN
HELPED CAPTURE
JEFF DAVIS
DR.. Mahana Survivor of
the Historic
Band

DR.. John B. Mahana of Ben
son, who claims to be the only
living man who was present at the
ca pture of Jefferson Davis in the
forests of the Ocmulgee swamp,
Ca, in April 1865, has recently
written description of that cap
ture which broke up the confed-
eracy.
DR.. Mahana was a private in
Company H, Fourth Michigan
cavalry at the time. Born and
brought up in Benson, he went to
Michigan shortly before the out
break of the Civil war. and enlist
ed from that state. He has now
returned to Benson to spend his
last days,
A few months ago, a man living
in New York claimed that he was
the only one living who was pre-
sent when Davis was taken. This
man has since died, however, and
d. Mahana says that, GAS near as
| can learn, | am the last living
PARTICIPANT, who reached the Davis
camp in the Ocmulgee woods"
DR.. Mariana was privileged to be
assigned to guard duty over a tent
next to the one occupied by Davis
prior to his capture after the
Michigan troops has quietly sur
rounded the camp in the night, and
! after Davis was taken, he was one
of those assigned to ride in the
wagon with the captured man and
prevent his escape.
The bulk of the doctors story
is history, an ccount of a forced
march of As hours from Macon,
Ga, to the Ocmulgee river, the
crossing of the stream by 100 men
left of the 412 who started, the
others having dropped out on the
march, the surrounding of the
Davis camp and the subsequent
capture of the southener.
From his post Of vantage, Dr..
Mahana overheard the whole con-
versation leading up to the capture
of Davis. His tent, as well as the
camp, was surrounded by federal
troopers. A sergeant, so the doc
tors story goes, received orders to
rout Davis out and, in reply to the
formers call to come out, he was
answered by a woman.
This proved to be Mrs. Davis
and in few moments she came
from the tent with an old woman,
whom she called mother and asked
to go to the brook for water. A
federal soldier, however, saw the
CLEAN of -pu. under the aged
woman's skirt and so Davis ruse
was discovered and he and his re-
tinue were taken.
DR., Mahana says:
"The only thing Davis had on Of
women's attire was veil tied over
his own small felt hat. He had
his own dressing robe and officers
poncho, folded like a little old wo-
man as the hurried away from the
tent.
Dr. Mahana concludes his narra-
tive by saying that:
"Soon after the capture, the
confderacy and its camp were
broken and emoute north and in
place of the mansion of state to
which President Davis had aspired,
his home was large covered wa
gon, with a yankee sentinel inside
with him and his family

circles typical controversy is raging around
Villa Gathers new book, Zone of Ours" A
few years ago Miss Gather wrote look called
My Antonia," which, because it spoke rather
casually of number of rather incidental
aduteries was greatly priced by the high
brow hicks and received very gingerly by the
booster hicks, to whom adultery is rather
serious matter So the highbrows thought
they had Miss Gather for their own. But in
this new book she leaves them fiat. In the
first part of the book she is natural enough for
the naturalists. But in the latter half of the
book Miss Gather sentmentaizes about the
World War. She revives some of the spirit Of
conservation, some Of the idealism and aspira-
tion with which we went into the war and
with which we held our course during the war.
This nobility of purpose the highbrow likes
to forget, or, if he thinks of it, he chooses to
call it propaganda or sentimentalism. The
oWbrow is puzzled. He sees the fine dreams
OF new heaven and new earth, sadly un-
realized. He sees that much of the hate of
the war was folly and many Of the aspirations
OF the war are hallucinations The war did
not end war; Democracy is not much safer
than it was. Indeed, with much of our lib-
erty of utterance taken from us and not re-
turned, we may pe bit nearer to autocracy

than we were before the war 1t is all
mess in the mind of the lowbrow, and his
heart is troubled. And when the highbrow
tells the lowbrow that what he did for the
Red Cross was silly, that what he gave to the
soldiers was waste and that what he lent to
the government was the loot Of a vast conf
dence game, the lowbrow knows it Is not so,
but he has no answer. Well, Miss Gathers
book pictures the-war as the lowbrow saw it;
revies the JOY Of conservation that was in all
our hearts and exalts her hero in the martyr
dom Of battle. So the highhrow hicks of New
York are bowling her out Of camp. If she had
eloped with a cardinal or written a rhyming
verse or split an infntive she could not be held

with what they have, as their position 10 de-
fensive, and the only alternative is to pass and
let the adversaries have the contract TOD
cheaply.
Question-The dealer bids no trump. Is
second hand right to double or should he bid
spades, with K Q j 10 small, @ j 10 Of dia-.
monds, K 9 Of hearts and K j of clubs?-
F. R. X
Answer-There is probably more in sitting
tight and setting the no-trumper than in bid
Ding spades. If game can be made in spades
tne no-trumper is in bad way. There is
notnlng IN doubling, as partner is very unlike
~ to call spades, and that is the only thing
that suits the hand.
POKER
Question-ln playing deuces wild does the
hand count for what the holder says it is
worth or for what can be made out Of it?
One OF our cracks says that it is not his busi-
ness to tell the other fellow how to count his
hand so as to beat him.-B. L.
Answer-The usual rule is to lay the hands
face up on the table, and the best poker hand
wins, all at the table being allowed sugpes-
ton as to what it is worth.
Question--A sixth card is dealt to The eldest
hand, but is taken back by the dealer before
the eldest hand has looked at it. Is this a mis-
deal? Some say TO. because the player did not
look at TITO.
Answer-It is not misdeal unless Two NAV
ers are gwen too many cards. Looking at the
cara would not have made it misdeal, but
would have made the players hand foul.

Here is the play at one table when clubs

1S Is interesting to note that the original

get In that ruff if starts right out with the
tfumps. 1t is usually a pretty good rule to
lead trumps when all the other suits are unde
slrable ones to lead from
The play probably would have gone this
way: would win the first trick and e;+hsr

diamond finesse loses to the queen and Y is in
with heart to lead third trump. Then he

When this hand was played at spades the
pair that went game did it this way:
trumped the second club and led a trump. At
some tables he finessed the Jack. bnt. that
makes no difference. When he finessed or nut

A S matter Of fact, there are too many

~ UPL1CATE auction is getting so popu-
lar that there are several points which

essential differences between that and
the straight rubber for stake.
One of these is the fixed and invariable
value of game, In the ordinary rubber the
first game and the rubber game are worth
great deal more than any others, and partial
score may be help. In duplicate, partial
scores are valueless, and every game won on
the deal is worth an invariabe 125 points.

between going game and taking penalties with
greater accuracy. One condition is that if YOU
are gong to play for penalties you must double
TO make them worth while The rub comes in
the decision as to your chances to make game
on your own contract. Take this case, which
came up at the Knickerbocker last April in

RUBE & GLUE

wv YE BUYERS always come to New
wv York once year. Some of us come
to buy goods for our stores, others
to lay in ideas for our heads; still
otners to buy peace for our bored and restless
hearts But we all are buyers. One seat in
every four the whole year round in every New
York tneater is occupied by an out-of town
buyer We throng the great hotels, crowd the
streets. dash around in taxicabs, maintain the
GsSerstS House balance and furnish the raw
ssaesrial for the great rube-skinning industry
6y which New York holds first place among
the cities OF the earth. And if it was not so
mutually profitable the industry would Ian
guish. The countryman whose hide is gently
but firmly peeled when he comes to New York
takes homo his experience and peels The hide
on his fellows in the county seat, and thev in
turn skin and tan the villagers and the farmers
and the workers, who, in their innocence. pass
the sklnning knife dexterously back over the
rest of us, and so the balance Of nature is
maintained. We all profit by New York. New
York sometimes peels us little too close to
the bone; we outsiders are prone to forget
what We do to our fellows and give New York
bad name for indulging in the national game
of grab and gouge.

DEPARTMENT MAKES
RUN ON DOUBLE QUICK

Sam Forshaw, the florist, is con-
graduating himself for living in a
city where the fire department is
quick in getting into action, because
that is the only reason he did not
suffer very heavy fire loss early
THIS morning, according to his idea.
A blaze broke out in the furnace
house at the end of the greenhouse
at the Forshaw place at 2246 West
Court street this morning shortly
after a o'clock. The department was
on the scene and hose lines were laid
within minimum of time. The
loss amounted to about $500, none of
which was covered by insurance.
Coffee and cigars were served the
firemcn by the Forshaw household.
some emergency plumbing work was
made necessary by a break in the
pipe line which temporarily cut off
the supply of steam. An explosion
OF coal gas in the furnace is thought
TO have caused the fire.

MUST HAVE
V|TAM|NES IN FOOD

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. ILL. n.
S)-That many children do not re-
ceive the right kind of food is the
claim made by Prof. J. r. Lyman,
Ohio State University.
"Malnutrition is common in all
parts of America and among all
classes" declared Prof. Lyman.
"a nutrition survey In state not
far from Ohio recently revealed fifty
seven per cent Of the children getting
enough to eat, but only eleven per
cent of them getting food properly
balanced to their nutrtiyc require
ments.
THE main deficiency was in vita
mine bearing foods such as vegeta-
hles, fruit and milk. Failure to pro-
vide such food for growing children
leads to conditions which differ only
in degree from those in the Balkan
countries.
There. as here. the principal lack
is in vitamines. There they do not
have such foods. Here we do not
seem to know how properly to use
what we have"
