Absolutely Untitled for the
Role

A few months before his death Gen.
Basil Duke of Kentucky, who COM
manded Morgan's cavalry after the
killing of his brother-in-law, Gen.
John Morgan, told this tale at a Con-
federate reunion in his home city of
Louisville:
He said that during one of the
Tennessee campaigns Morgan's men
surprised and routed a regiment of
Federal troopers. In the midst of the
retreat one of the enemy, who was
mounted upon big bay horse, sud-
denly turned and charged the yicto-
rious Confederates full-tilt, waving his
arm and shrieking like mad as he
bore down upon them alone. Respect
ing such marvellous courage, the Con-
federates forebore shooting at the ap-
preaching foe but when he was right
upon them they saw there was a diff
ferent reason for his foolhardiness.
He was green recruit. His horse
had run away with him-the bit had
broken, and, white as sheet and
scared stiff, the luckless youth was
being propelled straight at the whoop-
ing Kentuckians, begging for mercy
as he came.
jeff Sterritt, noted wit of the COM
mand, stopped the horse and made a
willing prisoner of the rider Sterritt,
who had not washed or shaved for
days and was ferocious looking per-
son, pulled out a big pistol and
wagged its muzzle in the terrified
FederaPs face.
II don't know whether to kill you
right now," he said, "or wait until the
fight is overl''
Mister" begged the quivering cap
tive, ''as favor to me, please don't
do it at all I'm a dissipated charac-
ter-and l amt prepared to der

Schools of Philosophy

The Academic School of Philosophy
was a school of philosophy founded by
Plato the Athenian (B. G. 429-347),
and so named because his lectures
were delivered in the academy" or
groves of Academus, near Athens. 1t
comprised the Old academy, which
consisted of Plato and his immediate
disciples; the Second or Middle acad-
envy, led by Arcesilaus; and the New
academy, or scepticaI school of Carne-
AIDES. Platonic doctrines, as taught
by Philo and Antiochus respectively.
are often spoken of as the Fourth and
Fifth observation-disclosures City Star.

Absolutely No Hurry About It

Absolutely No Hurry About 1t
The other day somebody told me a
story of man under sentence of
death to whom the jailer came with
the word that he might follow any con-
genial occupation he pleased during the
time which would elapse before the
fatal date. The prisoner had only to
nominate his choice and the facilities
for prosecuting it would be provided.
Indeed, there was rather a suggestion
that If the condemned man had not
| completed the favored undertaking by
that day; there might be delay in the
execution of the law to give him an
opportunity to finish it.
The situation having been made
clear, the messenger awaited the cap
tive's decision.
well, old man." he said finally,
what is it you want to do?"
Il think" said the prisoner, "I'd like
to learn Chinese"
The hearing of this story reminds
me of anOther-a blood brother to it
which was current in Tennessee years
ago.
One chilly evening in the early part
of March the sheriff entered the coun-
ty jail and, addressing the colored per-
son who occupied the strongest cell,
said:
"Gabe, you know that under the law
my duty requires me to take you out
Of here tomorrow and hang you. So
I've come to tell you that l want to
make your final hours on earth as
easy as possible. For your last break
fast you can have anything to eat that
you want and as much of it as you
want. What do you think you'd like to
have?"
The condemned man studied for
minute.
"Mr. Lukins," he said, 81 b'lieves I'd
lax to have a nice wortermelOn."
But watermelons won't be ripe for
four or five months yet" said the
sheriff
''Well, suh," said Gabe, 81 kin wait"

Co. L Beats New Ulm

Last Sunday afternoon the Red
wood Guardsmen mingled with the
New Ulm quint and came out of the
battle holding up the heavy end of
1854 score. The gang did pretty
well for playing against fve-man
team and a referee. Hutch Bobzin
managed to get two technical foul;
called upon him during the first half
minute of play, presumably for shiv-
ering in the cold air. Castle was
not with the soldiers, or the score
keeper would undoubtedly have been
nervous wreck by the end of the
scrimage. Donlin was hot after the
old points and was more or less re-
warded the last term by ringing in
five deuces, while flock of free tos-
ses the first half helped raise his
spirits. The Germans were fine fell
lows to play against, but they could
MT seem to get a combination that
would pull in the same harness at the
same time. Gaasch dropped in a trio
of field goals and free throw and
Hutch made four counters. Hank
loped up from his guard station now
and then and took a pot at the loop
and ended the tussle with four points
on the winning side. One of the in
teresting features of the game was
the way the man with the whistle
called fifteen fouls during the first
half and then shut up like tongue
tied clam the last period and called
nary thing. The fellows left New
Ulm Sunday night but Mother Ma
ture had entered into plot against
them and they spent the night in
Sleepy Eye, rather than come home
on skis.
A game with Willmar has been
Looked for Thursday evening. Cap
tain Fraser has tried for goodly
number of weeks to get the Willmar
manager to view things the right way
and give the soldiers a game on their
own floor, but until this time he has
been unsuccessful. The game should
be real struggle from the start till
the last man is carried out, and it
should be easy to watch at any time.
