The period, the early part of the civil war; the scene, one of the stately old homes that have made the Blue Grass State famous for its hospitality; the chief actor, a stanch little rebel, who gloried far more in the fact that in this awful time of war her husband was one of the bravest in Morgan’s brave band of rough riders than she did in the knowledge that in the times of peace no other home in all Kentucky showed more elegance in its appoint ments than did liers; the exact time, an early morning in the early summer, when the inhabitants of the town had awakened to find that, although a few hours before they had gone to sleep in Dixie, with \Desha’s boys” camped in one of the fine old woodlands just west of them, they had seemed to awaken in Yankeeland, for their streets were fill ed with 1 ,0 0 0 bluecoats under Colonel Landrum. Coming from her room on the morn Ing In question, with licr boy in hei arms, Mrs. Peebles met at the dooi two negro women, their black faces filled with terror and their bodies quiV' ering In an agony of fright. \W h at is it, mammy? Quick!

Ah, good morning, uncle!” Tbe last was spoken to a negro sol dier who wore the blue uniform and who had come up the walk aa she spoke. \Good rnawnin, missis.

Of course you can have the saw,” answered Mrs. Peebles quickly. \Kit show the man where to get the saw, and let him have the woodliorse too.” A suppressed laugh from behind hei brought a smile to Mrs. Peebles’ face, and she turned to the older negro tc say: \Mammy I am sure that negro wag ten feet high.” \No Miss Annie, ’twarn his bein o big man wliut done hit, but you knows you a in* gwine turn no hungry niggei frum yo’ do’. ’Tain’t in you, an you can’t do hit, even ef you does wantei kaze lie got on dem blue clothes.” A few days later martial law' was de clared. Wlmt was coming no one knew, and so strict was the surveillance that not one word could be got from the outside world. When the military rule had begun, the supply of food had seemed large enough to last perhaps six weeks, but at the end of tlie first month the supplies began to run low, yet neither market gardener nor gro cer was allowed to bring food into the town. Evidently the Federate were getting ready for the early advance ol a Confederate troop and were using every precaution to prevent the ene my gaining any' advantage. One evening during this anxious time as Mrs. Peebles sat in the twilight crooning a lullaby to her baby boy Easter came into the room and asked In a low tone: \Am de little lam* asleep, Miss An nie?” \Not quite, mammy,” the mother an swered and smiled to see the little fel low sit up and hold out his arms to the old nurse, who said: \lint’s right. Come to yo’ mammy, honey, an she’ll tell you about Brer Babbit. Dyah is a Yankee capting In de library, Miss Annie, an he says lie mus’ see you, dat dyah some business he mus' talk to you about.” When Mrs. Peebles entered the libra ry, the soldier stood looking at a pic ture of her husband that hung over the mantel. A sudden fear seized her. Was it Morgan’s men whom the Federal had expected and had a skirmish already occurred? “Oh, sir,” she exclaimed, \da yov. bring me news from my husband?” lie was an elderly man, and as 1. turned nrul saw Hie white face, with i. pleading eyes searching his own, lu pressed her gently into a large rocker whose arm she had clasnvd l'ov support «i and said rather to him sci^than to her: \All these women of otfrfd They suf fer at home more than we do in tlie- field.” Then to her: \No 1 have no news from your husband. Our division is made up entirely of northern men. With whom is your husband?” \You mistook my meaning,” she ex claimed, the color creeping hack to her face and the old fire awakening within her eyes. \lie is not a Union soldier, lie is with Morgan’s men, but I thought perhaps there had been an en gagement and you had come to me, even as he would go to an anxious northern wife. Have you heard from Morgan’s men, captain? It is so long since we had any news from outside the town.” The pleading in her voice touched him, for lie turned to the window and stood looking out into the gathering darkness. When lie turned toward her. a tear glistened in his eye. \And so you are a rebel,” he said. \It is a pity I A pity, indeed! W ar Is a ter rible thing, and we must all suffer while It lasts. I could not even relieve you With an answer about Morgan’s men If I knew ever so much about them. Martial law would avail little if we gave away Its secrets.” Once more Mrs. Peebles' eyes flashed, for had he not spoken as If the pity of the war lay upon the shoulders of the southerners. She straightened herself In her chair and said coldly: - \You wished to speak to me about a matter of business, I believe. May I hear it?” He was a soldier now. \Certainly madam. It becomes nec essary for us to quarter our men upon the citizens for a day, and I must ask you to provide for one company, giv ing them the noonday meal tomorrow.” She opened licr lips, but as if he di vined that she was about to ask a hard question lie continued, \I can only ex plain that the men are detailed for spe cial duty, and the food must be prepar ed for them.\ But how can I supply food for so many men?” she exclaimed. \You for get that we have been under martial law for weeks, and I have scarcely food for my own family. Besides, why should I cook for men who would shoot down my husband but for the oppor tunity?” Tho officer spoke calmly: \I respect your fidelity to your cause, madam, but my men must have food. Our commissary is stationed two doors north of hero. Present this order and prepare the food by noon tomorrow. Good night.” He was gone, and she, knowing enough of the power of an occupying army to rebel no further, went to the kitchen to give the necessary orders. At noon on the morrow great platters stood heaped with juicy slices of boiled ham, kettles and buckets steamed with beans and rice, baskets were ready, filled with delicious southern biscuit, and in the oven the last pan of corn bread was taking on a delicate brown. But no soldiers appeared, and in the distance the popping of rifles and the boom of cannon could be heard. Plain ly the Confederates had come up and a battle was on. In every house wo men wore busy tearing old linen and cotton into lints and bandages. The firing drew nearer, and presently a southern cavalry officer rode by, fol lowed by a bunch of soldiers. Mor gan’s brigade bad come, with all of its fearless enthusiasm. Expected from one point, it had made a detour, divid ed and entered from three unprotected points. Mrs. Peebles hurried her chil dren and servants to tlie cellar, and there, with throbbing hearts, • they waited. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon there was a lull and by 3 all was quiet. Mor gan’s men stood in lines along the streets, and Cyutliiana was in the hands of an army of famished soldiers. Many hands united in giving Uncle Sam’s food to the gray coats, but Mrs. Peebles was not among them. In one of the brightest rooms in her home the gray haired Federal captain lay, suffer ing from a bullet wound in the thigh. She had found him lying near her door and with her own hands had helped to dress his wound. An hour later a gray- coated cavalryman was brought in, his left leg shattered below the knee, and as Annie Peebles knelt, sobbing, be side bis bed he whispered: \It is nothing to lose a leg, dear. Many a poor fellow has given his life today.” A happy smile drove the tears away as she lifted her head to say: \God was good to bring you home for me to care for.”—Sunny South. GRATIFIED AMBITION ODD USES TO WHICH SUDDEN RICHES ARE SOMETIMES PUT. W h y the B e g g a r 's B r i d g e T h a t Spans the R i v e r E e k W a s B u ilt—An E n g lish m a n W h o In d u lg e d In a W i l d O r g y o f N e w Shoes. People who after years of grinding poverty suddenly come into great wealth sometimes put their new for tunes to peculiar uses. Certainly they should be allowed to do so without harsh criticism, for the strangest things done by the newly rich are done to real ize a dream which has cheered the heart when the days were full of trou ble scarcely to be borne and helped to lighten the great load of poverty. W hat poor maiVhas not found a cheap and certain comfort in the midst of a f flictions by imagining what he \would do if he were rich?” When wealth comes suddenly and unexpectedly and the dreamer sets out to realize Ills dream, people say, \How eccentric!” Eccentric it may be, but it Is the grat ified ambition of a lifetime. Awhile ago an Englishman, who all his life had never been able to keep his feet shod properly, suddenly came into a large fortune. The first thing he did was to give an order for shoes to sev eral shoemakers, so arranging it that he could put on a new pair of shoos every day in the year. IIow often had he said to himself in his years of pov erty, when his toes were sticking out of his shoes or the water coming into about their ears. Afterward l learned that it is permissible to whistle during a calm, and Indeed I have known cap tains and mates to turn toward the quarter from which they wished the wind to spring and whistle for some minutes. But It Is against all custom to whistle when the wind is rising, for that is notice to Davy Jones that you want more, and he may turn on a hur ricane. H o w Old Is the H u m a n Race? This question receives an interesting answer in the latest edition of De Mor- tillet’s \Origin and Antiquity of Man.” The total number of ye-tivs since, ac cording to geological evidence, men first appeared upon the earth is placed at 238 , 0 0 0 . Of this 78,000 year’s be long to the preglacial epoch, 100,000 years to the glacial, 44,000 years to the interval between tbe glacial epoch and the protohistoric and neolithic, 10,000 years to the two last named epochs and 0,000 years to the time elapsed since the beginning of the historic period in Egypt flvo or six years with c a t a r r h al them, \Oh if I over get any money T h e r e W a s a M istake. “I think,” he began as he halted a pedestrian, \1 think 1 made a mistake with the cabman who drove me to the Corcoran Art gallery. I am quite sure I gave him a $10 bill, but he must have mistaken It for a $2 bill.” \And you hope to find him again?” asked the man of the stranger to the city. \Why yes, I have hopes.” \Well you are about as green as they make ’em. That cabman deliberately swindled you out of many dollars.” I can hardly believe it. He looked ««■ What Molfeerlotf Mews A N a u t ic a l E x p la n a t i o n , Tlie officers were on the quarter deck ooldng a t a comet and noticed an eager discussion among the crow forward.

A miner who came into an unexpect ed fortune gave a great feast to his old workmates. Often when the miners were eating the contents of their dinner pails down in the dim galleries of the mine he had thought of what a feast he would like to see spread there for himself and his fellow workmen. So when he came into his fortune he had one of tlie galleries of the mine lighted and decorated and a great and costly feast served there to the miners, at which lie presided. Another man who suddenly became rich bought all Ills particular friends a complete outfit of clothing, even going so far as to furnish each of them with a gold watcli and chain. Then he in vited them to a famous feast, at which all sorts of expensive luxuries were served. When the guests reached their homes, each found an envelope with $50 in it and a note saying that the money was to pay for a short vaca tion. This generous man unfortunately died in want and misery not long after receiving his windfall. A rather romantic way of spending money was that adopted by the builder of the Beggar’s bridge, which spans the river Esk. When poor, he had the greatest difficulty in meeting his sweet heart, who lived on the opposite bank of the river, owing to the Esk often being swollen and so impassable, even to a good swimmer. The a rdent lover, when distraught one day, registered a vow that if ever he became rich he would take good care that no Eskdale lover should ever suffer again in the manner he suffered. He became rich and fulfilled his vow by the erection of the Beggar’s bridge. But there are persons, too, who in stead of dreaming in their poverty of giving pleasure to their fellows medi tate mischief and when they acquire sudden wealth proceed to their re venges. Not long ago a London char woman found herself possessed of a large fortune. She immediately bought several fine turnouts and spent most of her time for a few weeks in driving slowly by the houses of her former em ployers to \show off.” Against one wo man who had employed her she had an especial grievance, so she bought the house the hated one lived in and raised the rent. A Birmingham man who received a small legacy invited every tram p he could find in the city to meet him at a certain public house. The tram ps came in large numbers and had a hearty meal, after which they \vere served with pipes and tobacco. They had plenty to drink, and music and songs followed, as did also police court pro ceedings, owing to a free fight which ended the remarkable entertainment.— London Chronicle. so honest and truthful that 1—I” <41 That you ought to have asked him to hold your watch and the rest of your money!

Here it is.” \And what was it you were going to say to your dear old Josh from the cornfields?” asked the old man as he turned to the wise person. But the wise person was there no longer.

G reen Not R e s t fu l to the Eyes* It seems as though cherished notions were no sooner on an apparently firm foundation than some inconsiderate iconoclast comes along and throws them down. People have for many years supposed that the color green was restful to human eyes and have been referred to the green grass and green foliage that nature has been so prodigal with for the benefit of wearied vision. Now, according to a German profess or of Berlin, nature wasn’t thinking of human eyes when she made her pro fuse verdant display and that her col or scheme was carried out absolutely regardless of the visual needs of hu manity. He says that green does not protect the eye, and he denies that it has any beneficial effects whatever. He declares that green paper, green shades, green glasses, green decora tions and green umbrellas are all a mistake and that by increasing the green light we are simply provoking a nervous disturbance. He says that each of the colors tires a different set of nerves of vision, and therefore looking a t one particular col or saves one set of nerves at the ex pense of another. The best method, he says, is to dim all of the rays of light by smoked or gray glasses, which rest all of the optic nerves.—New York Herald. Motherhood means either happiness or misery. There is scant happiness for the mother, who in pain and weakness brings into the world a weakling babe which she can neither nurse nor nourish. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription fits women for mothurhood. It strengthens the maternal organism. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the appetite and brings refreshing sleep. It makes the birth hour practially painless and gives the mother the nourishment to give her child.

YOUR M ONEY BACK II this Refrigerator Is not as described A n E x p e r im e n t In J o u r n a lism , Once there was a really radical pa per, in Loudon it was, but the man who made it now lives here and tells the tale. It was one of those papers which are n tragedy. They represent the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong men who must find the outlet for their apostolate. This paper began by being at odds with all that was established, and it had readers. But as time went on the man who made the paper drove off singly and in groups all those who had begun by being his supporters. It was found a little too radical for them, and they no longer kept step with Its newest march. \Of course I now can see that such a paper was foredoomed to failure,” the editor said after he had recited the ear ly history of his venture. \I confess It was pretty strong even for British radicals. After the circulation hod dwindled down to the extremists I suc ceeded in alienating about half of them by denouncing social democracy as feu dal oppression, and tlie other half left me when I attacked atheism on the score of its superstitious tendencies. After that 1 ran the paper ns long as 1 could without any subscribers. But I had to give it up. Nobody would read it except myself, and toward the end I had to give up reading it myself. 1 found it too unsettling. So It stopped.” —New York Commercial Advertiser. W h e n J a c k T a r W lilatles. The first time I went to sea I was whistling blithely one day, for the sun was bright and the breeze was fresh and the tub was spanking along under all her canvas, when a sailor warned me to stop, writes Charles M, Skinner In Lipplncott’s Magazine. I asked why. He said the wind was coming up fast euough as it was and that if I kept on whistling I would be fetching a gale Safe W a y to W a t c h F igh t s . The colonel and I sat talking under a shade tree in front of the town post- office when a dogfight started down the street. \Come on!” I said as I sprang up. \Come this way,” replied the colonel as he seized my arm and drew me into a doorway. \But I want to see the dogfight,” 1 protested. \Yes I reckon you do, but you also want to keep clear of the shooting.” “Why should there he any shooting?” “Because one dog has got to lick t’oth er, and the owner of the licked dog ain’t goin to let it rest that way. There they go!” There is a fast-growing class of young people nowadays whose chief ambition is the not very laudable one of being what, in the parlance of the day, is called “ up to date.” To this end they are quick to adopt every new fad, however foolish, within their means, and the passion of their lives is to follow as far as may be the fashions set by the idle and demoral ized classes of the greater cities, with whom the pursuit of pleasure is the prin cipal aim of life. Every season brings its new and more or less absurd fad. This year has brought the bare-armed and bare-legged boy and man, and sensible people hardly dare to speculate on what new folly another summer will produce. To the craze for athletics and to the lazy, dawdling life at bathing beaches the world doubtless owes the hare-limbed man so glaringly in evidence just now. But it seems to have been overlooked that a garb permissible in a boat race may be a little indelicate elsewhere. The man at the forge finds labor easier with his sleeves rolled back to the elbows, and the man catching minnows finds it con venient to toll his trousers up to his knees, but on what theory can tbe man who toils not neither does he fisli justify his appearance, half dressed, upon the streets or in the homes of self-respecting people? No well-conducted hotel dining room or pailor is open ta a man insuffi ciently attired, and we are old fashioned enough to have our doubts if the parlors of young women should be. In fact, the call of a young man in a garb that would not be tolerated iu a public house might seem to indicate a certain light esteem m which tbe lady was held. Young ladies who insist upon being treated with dig nity and conventional propriety will make no mistake, and we doubt if such young ladies care much to be at home to half nude callers who are over eight years old. We are reminded, when we see a half bare—not to say half baked—youth pain fully sunburning bis neck and arms in his passion to be considered “ swell,” of another lisping yonng creature of his kind who explained that he wore a blue tie to match his eyes. “ And you might wear a soft hat, too, to match your head,” was the comment of the sensible young woman.— Watkins Express.
