Confederate Mail Runner

TOR 10 years before the Civil war
Absalom Grimes was MISSISSIPPI
pi river pilot, running between st.
Louis and St. Paul. At the outbreak
of the war he enlisted in a company
of "irregulars," raised in Rails
county west of Hannibal, Mo-, to
recruit the. Confederate army. One
of the members of this company
was young fellow named Sam
Clemens. Years later Mark Twain
referred to his "short and inglorious
military career" in that company
which decamped hastily at the first
appearance of an enemy force and
soon afterwards disbanded.
Grimes then volunteered for serv-
ice as mail carrier between the
Missouri and Kentucky troops in
the Confederate army and their rel
atives at home. 1t was an extreme
ly hazardous duty for it meant go
ing through the Union lines at the
peril of capture and execution as a
spy. During the siege of Vicksburg
he ran the blockade successfully by
wiring his mail in tin boxes to the
bottom of an overturned skiff and
floating beside it among the Union
gunboats until he had passed them.
Grimes was repeatedly captured
by the Union forces and twice he
was sentenced to death. He spent
several months in the old Gratiot
prison in St. Louis and was there
under sentence of death at the end
of the war. However, his life was
saved by an unconditional pardon
issued by Abraham Lincoln-among
the last acts of mercy performed
by the President before he was as
sassinated.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
By
Elmo Scott Watson
Indian Painter

THE early painters of American
! Indian life were all adventurous
men, but John Mix Stanley had
more than his share of perils and
narrow escapes from death.
Stanley first became interested in
Indians in 1888 and went to Fort
Smelling, Mimi, to paint them. Dur
ing the next eight years he made
frequent visits to picture the tribes
of the Southwest. In 1846 he joined
the famous march of General Kear-
ney and his dragons from Santa
Fe to San Diego, during which time
he laid down his painters brush to
take up gun and fight in several
engagements.
The next year Stanley found more
excitement awaiting him in the
North. He narrowly escaped being
IN the Whitman massacre when that
missionary, his wife and IL others
were killed by the Cayuses in east
ern Washington. He had another
close call when he returned to San
Francisco to take ship for New York
via Cape Horn, for he arrived just
too late to 60 aboard. That ship was
lost at sea and was never heard OF
again.
In 1853 Stanley was appointed art
list to the expedition sent to explore
a route for Pacific railroad from
st. Paul to Puget Sound. After a
series of adventures with that expe-
dition, he returned to the East,
where he died in 1872. The last
years of his life were saddened by
the loss of more than $50 paintings
of Indian life which he had spent
10 years in making and which were
destroyed by fire in the Smithsoni-
an institution in 1865.

Household Refrigerator

To get the best results from the
household refrigerator, it is well to
decide in advance which foods are
to 60 in and which ones to be
taken out instead of bordering the
question while the door is open.
Every time that happens the tenn
perature goes up and the longer thu
door stays open the higher up it
goes. Another wise precaution is to
make sure that cooked foods are

House Cleaning Is Made
Easy by Use of Vacuum

The days are gone forever when,
to clean rug thoroughly, it was
necessary to hang it on clothesline
or lay it on the grass and beat it
with a bamboo or steel wire con-
traption.
Today, thanks to electricity
and the vacuum cleaner, rug beat
ing is thing of the past in mil
lions of homes. Moreover, in addi-
ton to eliminating much work and
drudgery, the vacuum cleaner
raises practically no dust and thus
greatly reduces the time required
for busting.

Aguinaldo's Captor

N 1901 America had new nation
al hero-"a little man with a
slight limp, with Vandyke beard
and a sense of hurnor that dubbed
in him like the effervescence of
wine" His name was Frederick
Funston, former student at the Uni
versity of Kansas, newspaper re-
porter and member of filibuster-
ing expedition to deliver to Cuban
revolutionists five Hotchkiss guns
for use against the Spanish. He
was made captain of artillery and
in 10 months fought in % engage
ments. Then the Spanish put a
price on his head and he barely
managed to escape and return to
the United States.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war Funston raised a reg
iment of Kansas volunteers and was
made it's colonel. He was sent to
the Philippines and aided in the
capture of Manila. In August, 1898,
Emilio Aguinaldo started an insur-
rection against the new masters of
the islands and for the next three
years led 10000 American soldiers
and their native auxiliaries a mer-
ry chase.
Finally he was located in south
ern Luzon and Funston, by now a
brigadier-general of volunteers,
formed a daring plan to capture
him. Taking two captains and two
lieutenants, Funston led party Of
80 Macabebe scouts toward Agui-
naldo's hiding place. They were to
pass themselves off as a detach-
ment of insurgent Tagalogs who had
captured these five Americans and
were bringing them to Aguinaldo.
1t was a risky business for every
thing depended upon the faithful
ness of the Macabebes.
But they played their part to per-
lection and the American "cap-
tives'' were delivered to Aguinaldo.
Then they revealed their identity
and calmly informed Aguinaldo that
he was their prisoner.
