Things They Did JD Chicago In She was the daintiest old lady imag- j in able; and so talkative! Her? white, ' corkscrew curls bobbled np and down as she emphasized every sentence with a motion of the head or hand. She had to do this to make herself impressive, for her voice was so silvery soft that ' she wouldn't have been heard other wise. And no wonder, for she was surrounded by a group of young wo men sewing away at a lot of denim emergency bags which soldiers will probably never need. "How do you like sewing for Yan kee soldiers?" a pretty girl with mis chievous eyes asked her. "I never would have believed that I'd have been guilty of doing such a thing," answered the old lady with a laugh. "But here I am stitching away for your squadron A men, or whatever you call 'em, and me such a through and through 'Southerner, too. I do wonder what my people in South Car olina would say. Some of the old -ones would think that I'd lost my mind, I reckon* that I'd gone stark mad; but I want to be doing some thing now that we are in for another war." "You didn't do anything for the soldiers in the last 'war, I suppose," said a tall, light-haired girl. "I be lieve you Southern wemen are and al ways have been physically opposed to anything like work. * ' "Well, you believe what is absolute ly untrue," 'answered the old lady, her black eyes snapping, and lier curls bobbling furiously, "and the quicker you young people get such notions out r of your heads the better. If I can convince you that you are altogether wrong I shall feel myself repaid for taking this long trip up here. South ern women not do anything for the Confederate soldiers, indeed, during the war!" "Tell us all about it," urged a Southern girl, and about twenty voices backed up h sr request. "Well, you girls and women are get- j ting up your Red Cross relief societies \ and we had aid associations in the South during the Civil War with a similar object. There was an aid so ciety in every neighborhood, and we Southern women had to exercise so much ingenuity that we actually did not realize what privations we were enduring in those days of busy thought. The hardest task that an .aid society had was when the members undertook to make uniformsfor a com pany. Think of it, dear girls! These uniforms were made of heavy jeans, woven at home by our slaves. A tail or out them out, but the mothers, wives, sweethearts and sisters made them, and every stitch was handwork, >too. for at that time sewing machines were almost unknown. We knit socks and shirts on steel and wooden needles and finally things come to such a pas? that we had to rip the ticking from .our mattresses and convert it into ?hirts for our soldiers. On every plrntation there was cse or more shoemakers for the slaves, and these made up quantities of shoes out of old bootlegs." "How did you get these things to the soldiers?" asked some one. ''Did you send them through your sanitary commission?" , "We didn't have such a thing," an swered the old lady sadly. "It was a great day with an aid society when enough things were ready to warrant sending a big box to the soldiers by some returning soldier or by some sol dier's body servant, at home to rest a ? little spell. All the women and old j .men, too old for service, would come j from miles., and miles around to the j house where thc box was being packed \ bringing anything they had to send j their folks in the war. One would ! bring a waistcoat, one a pair of trou- j sers, another a shirt, and all brought something; the way of clothing or! .?hoes. "I shall never forget a scene that took place at my father's house once when my brother's valet, Bob, was go ing #back. Everybody in the surround- i ing country began to bring things for ? Bob to take back, and what to put ' .them in began to puzzle us. Sudden ly we remembered a tremendous trunk w^ich my uncle, Dr. Nott, had brought fr >m Paris, filled with surgi cal instruments and valuable skeleton. That trunk had always been a white elephant on our hands, and my old father suggested that we send the things in it. It was brought out, fill ed, and packed and filled again, until finally everything was in. I can sec 02e waistcoat now which a mother made for her boy.. It was made of tiny strips, and one-half was brown and the other half blue, but, she said, i^vould keep her boy warm. Finally Bob got off with the trunk, and the next day I heard somebody cry out at the gate, 'Hello!' I went out on the veranda. It was bitter, bitter cold, and the wind waa blowing a gale. There was an old, emaciated man on his horse, with a bundle hugged up to his \ WOMEN. uring the Civil War. ter-Ocean. breast. " 'Good mornin'.' he said. " 'Good morning,' I answered 'Wont you 'light and come in?' " \Nx>, I reckon I'd better not,' h answered. 'I'm just outen the small pox, and I hain't got out yet. Min, my wife, ad 'em first. She tuck on pow'fully 'bout the burning and pain, an' I would say: 'Oh, I reckon it's not so bad^don't take on so.' But when I tuck 'em myself I sang another chuce. But I rode six miles this mornin' to put a bundle in the box for my son.' * ? 'But Bob has gone with the box,' I said, 'and I am so sorry to disappoint you.' . " 'Gone, gone,' he kept repeating to himself in a dazed way. 'Well, I'll get back home. My poor boy! I know he needs the things,' and off he wen? with his head on his breast. I secretly thanked God that the things had gone, for think of putting gar ments made by a mother just over the smallpox, made in a house infected, into a great trunk of clothing for sol diers! "Bless you, my children," contin ued the old lady, "what the Southern women did for the Confederate sol diers in the field was only a small part of the work the war entailed on us. We couldn't buy thi?gs to eat or wear, and there were all of those poor, igno rant slaves to be cared for. I remem ber so well that salt was one of the scarcest articles, and one that must be had, so we all thought. As long as the government could, it furnished salt to the families of the soldiers, giving so many pounds to each every manth. Polly," addressing the Southern girl, "your dear old gran'pa was a salt dis tributor, and how pathetic it was to see the poor and the rich coming to his house for their share. Some came afoot, some on horseback, and others in carriages. And how kind, patient and just he was! I can see him now.. Finally a time came when he had no salt to distribute md could get none. The people were wild for it and at last he could stand their pleadings no longer. He gathered many teams and drivers, went to some salt wells in Vir ginia, and brought back a pretty good supply for the neighborhood. Salt earth was also dug up in old plantation smokehouses, where we cured our meat, put into hoppers, dripped, and then boiled down. Many bushels of nice white salt were obtained in this way. "Many used parched rye or parched okra seeds in lieu of coffee, and amore beautiful beverage than the latter you never saw. It was clear and rich in color, but I couldn'tgo it. We always keDt a little coffee on hand for fear of ilk-ess." "You said you couldn't buy anything to wear, didn't you?" asked a young woman, smoothing down her tailor made gown. "That's what I said," answered the old lady. "For common wear we wore dresses made of homespun, woven by the slaves. Polly's grandmother owned a great many negroes who could weave really' beautiful homespun and dou ble-faced jeans, an-d they also made really very pretty and artistic wool coverlets and counterpanes. Old black silk was raveled into lint, then carded on with cotton and woven into a kind of gray poplin, which was very pretty and soft. Our best gowns were made of this, and we only wore them on state occasions to swell functions, as you girls say, when we sipped tea made of dry strawberry leaves. Of course Southern men, before the war. were great on wearing silk hats, and these were left at home. We women skinned the hats and covered thc home-made frames to make low hats for ladies. They looked something like a sailor hat, and rooster feathers were used for trimming. Our gloves were made of black silk stocking legs. "Our mail facilities were very poor all over the country. A neighborhood would arrange to have a daily mail by having a member of each family going or sending on his day to the nearest railwy station. I have knowu Fol ly's grandfather, old and feeble as he was( to go oftentimes fifty miles in a day to get his own mail and fetch that of the soldiers' wives in his neighbor hood. They came teeming in to get their letters and to hear the paper read. The old gentleman got the Daily Carolinian, published in Colum bia. At first it was printed on paper made of straw, and the cheapest ink was used, but at last thc publishers couldn't get even straw paper, and so they issued the news printed on wall paper that had been stowed away. Schoolboys made lead pencils by melting bullets and pouringthemoltcn liquid into canes; when cold the canes were split off. "There were many funny things to lighten our burdens, however, and ev erybody was hopeful and helpful. How the women worked in every way. They ran the plantations, looked per sonally after the farming imple the stock, thc cows in the pa the hundreds of sheep, whose w needed, and, most carefully after the hundreds of negroes must be clothed and fed. Towa end Confederate money woul nothing. Why, I've paid as m $25 for a spool of CQtton thread, good, how faithful, how kind wi negroes. What could they no done, with all thc white men g war, had they been evil-minded? Sherman was marching through lina, I was the sole white person the exception of my baby girl, c great plantation, among all the ne My sisters were water-bound tt five miles distant, and my mothi in Richmond with my only br who lay wounded unto death, the negroes never left me, an they loved and petted and looke for me. My old negro mammy, my 'Liza, comforted me all the \ saying: 'Mever you min', honey sleep in the big house with you, she did in after years, when sh< free and I enslaved by sorrow comforted me again. When my girl died she told me so many be ful things that kept my heart hardening. She never would her white folks, as she called us, really died our slave, for there : master like love, and she loved us we her. "Now, do you believe thal Southern women did any during the war?" she asked, wi smile. "Oh, yes," instantly spoke u] girl who had expressed a doubt. "Do you know," said the tall, li haired girl, "I feel as if making t emergency bags and doing such th as we do is mere child's play. Bu the same, I trust that the wome the country will not have to do ? things as you Southern women die matter how fiercely war is waged." "Such conditions could never e agaiu," answered the old lady, pla ly. "Have no fear. ' Then our pei were divided; now we are weldec gether by the Stars and Stripes ever. Really, I don't care what unreconstructed Southern friends when they hear I've joined this re association, for I'm downright pr to be doing something for these (i Yankee soldier boys." And thc g exchanged amused glances. This Will Interest Many.

Eli Perkins Joins a Drinking Club. "Sellin' whiskey in Kansas !" ex claimed the purple-nosed railroad pas senger, as he bit off a chew of plug tobacco while the train was pulling out of Topeka. "Drinkin' whiskey! Why, they're drinkin' more whiskey than they ever did before !" "But we never see any bar-rooms," I remarked. "No, they ain't no bars an' they ain't no signs of a bar; but thcy's drinkin'." Then I rode through thc State with out seeing a barroom, a drunken man. or a sign up where whiskey was for sale. Valuable corners were occupied by stores, and the money that used to go into the open saloons was going into the stores. I found that Kansas used to send out 15,000,000 to Peoria and Kentucky for whiskey, and now she is sending out about a million a year. I found that Kansas is now saving through temperance $14,000,000 a year, and in ten years will save $140. 000,000; and still that red-nosed lounger in thc smoking car is contin ually screeching through the car: "They's drinkin' more whiskey in Kansas than they ever did before!" Up in Maine I heard the same whis key drinkers' refrain. It never came from a church member or from a pros perous, moral, business man. It al ways came from a drinking man. So during my last trip through Maine I decided to investigate and find out if the law preventing drunkenness doub led the drunkards-if tile law prevent ing the sale of whiskey really increas ed the sale of it. Well, a lecture engagement called me up to Farmington, twenty-five miles north of Lewiston. The engage ment was for Saturday night. I had to drive up from Lewiston. It was a $10 ride through the snow. "This is a temperance State isn't it?" I said to the stableman as he was hitching up his team. "Temperance State!" he exclaimed! "Why, they're pourin' down whiskey here-drinkin' more'n they ever did before." . "Hadn't you better take a hot milk punch before wc start ?" I said. "Hot milk punch!" he said, his eyes snapping with joy; "yes, it would taste good; but you can't get thosc fancy drinks up here. !No bars, you know, an' you've got to make them fancy drinks at home." "But when there is so much drink ing there must be bars near by," I said. "Well, ' they're drinkin', all the same, but we don't have bars. We have to manage a little, and it takes time, you know." So we started off for the long twen ty-five-mile ride through the snow. We passed several hotels and stopped and warmed. There were no bar rooms, and hot lemonades were the only drinks to be had. We found Farmington without a bar, and a thorough temperance town. The audience that greeted me showed temperance, intelligence and prosperi ty in their faces. Coming back the next morning, I said to my driver: "It is strange that people will so traduce this temperance State." "They don't traduce it," said the driver. "They's drinkin'goin' on here. I can get you a drink." "You can get me. a drink," I said with an accent on the "can." "Why, of course you eau," I said enthusias tically, "and when we get to Lewiston we'll have some nice hot whiskey, won't we?" I noticed my man didn't enthuse. Then after a moment's thought ho re marked: "I'm afraid I'll bc too busy putting out my horse; but I could get you a drink if I had time." "But I'll pay a boy for unhitching thc horse," I said, as we drove into thc Lewiston stable. "Now, let's have thc drink, come on !" "All right," said the driver. "I think lean get a drink; but mebby thc whiskey is out, and we'll have to take bottled beer." Then I followed him through the dried weeds and snow along thc river bank'. "This isn't the way to a saloon," I said. "Xo, I'm going to Mike Grady's. Mrs. Grady has some beer left over from a funeral. When we reached thc rear end of Grady's cabin thc driver knocked on thc door. "Bc af! from there !" said an Irish woman's voice. "It's no use comin' round here. The perlice has been round here, and poor Moikc has gone wid 'em." "Con-found it!" said my driver, striking his left hand with his right fist, "the police arc always gcttin' on the end of a wake. But I can get you a drink yet." Then he looked at me quizzically, and said : "Will you join a club?" "A what!" "A club." "Yes, I'll join anything to get the drink. I'll join the Masons, join a hose company, join a church-any thing." "Come along, then. I know where it is." - Then I followed him across the bridge and up 3Iaine street. Then he turned up a pair of stairs, and I fol lowed him up three stories to a door with a little wicket door in the center, where he gave three knocks and the wicket flew open. Then commenced some low whispering, and then the big door slowly opened. "Fifty cents is thc price of member ship," he said, holding out a card with my name written on it. Then we went to thc next room, where there was a bottle of whiskey on the table. I took it in my hand and smelt of it. "What is it?" I asked. "Oh, don't be afraid of it. It's whiskey." It was whiskey-Maine whiskey, but such whiskey ! My mau had kept his word. I looked at the bottle, then looked at my membership card. I have that card now. I'm a member in good standing. . "Well," I said, "this is pretty near prohibition. If walking eight blocks, climbing up three pairs of stairs, join ing a club of drunkards, and paj'ing fifty cents to look at a bottle of vile poison, isn't prohibition, I never ex pect to see it." If any clergyman reading this article doubts the truth of my story, I will send him my membership ticket by return mail-with my afiidavit ap pended. Prohibition does prohibit whiskey about as much -as the law prohibits itealing. They still steal, but they teal less. If the penalty against iquor selling were as strong as it is against murder, there would be as few iquor sellers as murderers, and there rvould be less tears and less poverty in his world and less sulphur in the next.-Eli Perkins, in the Kew Voice.
