Stanton Recallq Some Incidents of the Closing Days of the War-Gen eral Sherman's CGoiness to the Elder Stanton. Who Waq Very IlL In Savannah. I Frank L. St;ron, the popular Georgia poet, always speaks up for General Sher man when he hears any severe criticism of that famous commander's methods. The story told by Stanton has never found its way into print, but it deserves a place among the minor incidents and rominisceneces of the war period. Whe hen Savannah fll. " said Stanton, "I was a- little chap about 8 years old. The confusion and tumult in the streets frightened me, and I was afraid to go ver- far from the house. " Young as I was, I understood that something very serious had occurred. Instead of seeing Confederate soldiers parading the streets with a few Federal prisoners I saw thousands of Federals swarming through the town, and they had a great many Confederates under guard. "The situation bad been reversed. That was plain. even to a child. "My father was very ill, in the last stages of consumption, and my mother: was worn out with anxiety and the cares of the household. Our neighbors were panic stricken, and everybody seemed to be expecting some awful ca lamity. "Penned up there as we had been for a long time, without supplies and with out any money except worthless Confcd erate currency, the outlook was gloomy enough. How was my sick father to get the things he needed? That was the problem with my mother. "Somebody told General Sherman about my father and mentioned the fact that he was a kinsman of a very distin guished and powerful officer on the Un ion side. "One day when I entered my father's room I found three Federal officers sit ting there in pleasant conversation with the invalid and my mother. "I was scared and started to run, but one of the strangers, a middle aged man with a roughly trimmed brown beard, called me back. He asked my name, and before I knew it had me on his knee, and he said so many nice things to me: that I took quite a fancy to him. "He was General Sherman, and he had called with two of his staff officers to see my father. When the visitors left, the general told my mother at the door that he knew all about the incon veniences of a siege and insisted upon sending from the army stores something! that would suit a sick man. "Under the circumstances such an offer could not be declined. It was a picnic for the children of the family, I can tell you. "After that, while the general was in the city, something was sent to the house every day. Brandy, wine, loaf sugar, lemons, beef, chickens, coffee, vegetables and I don't know what else came in generous quantities. We had plenty for te family and for our near est nighbors. "Nor was that all. The general sent one of the best physicians in the hos pital service, and the last days of my father were made far more comfortable than we had hoped for under the ad verse conditions of those dark days. "General Sherman came to the house, once more before he left Savannah. I cannot remember what he said, but he was sympathetic and he said something about the pleasure it gave him to aid a relative of his distinguished friend at Washington. "At that time I was very fond of a showy uniform, and it vexed my child ish mind to see my friend the general always dressed so shabbily. His staff oficers presented a better appearance, and some of them were really gorgeous in their spectacular rig. "The other boys and the negroes agreed with me that the commander must be in very hard luck or he would certainly dress better. Still, I was then con',inced that he was a wonderfully wise man. With my pockets full of his loaf sugar, which I had surreptitiously abstracted from the pantry, I would have been ungrateful if I had formed any other opinion. "Sherman left the city and marched onward through the Carolinas, and that ended the war. "No, I never saw him again. My fa ther died, and I lived in different places, my work keeping me so busy that I had no time to think of the general or any body else not connected with my immne diate business. I wish now that I had seen him before he passed away. As it is, I can only recall him as he appeared to my boyish and wondering eyes, un der circumstances which did not give me an opportunity to study him. No matter what may be said of his conduct in war, I cannot help liking him. He was a good friend just when we most needed one. "-Chicago Times-Herald. TRUMPS AND PIE. The Way the R1ev. Mr. Gately Played8 Hand at Whist. One evening, the evening after Christ mas, we were seated at the wvhist table In our room. Henry and I had had our Christmas dinner with his people, and Mr. Gately had had his at the rector's house. Mr. Gately was assistant at the parish church. The major, poor man, had had no other resourco than to sit at Mrs. Buckinghamn's table. " What kind of dinner did the duchess give you on Christmas?" asked Henry of the major, who was dealing with quiet precision. "Colossal," replied the major ;" colos sal, sir, and familiar." "Do you mean," said I, "she gave you the same old things, only more of them?" "Precisely, madam. It is your lead and hearts are trumps." The major had turned the queen. "We had five kinds of pie, " he added. I led some small card of a plain suit. Mr. Gately took the trick, playing a king second hand, and led the king of hearts. I saw the major looked puzzled and frowned. "Five kinds of pie!" Mr. Gately ex claimed mildly as the hand wvent round. "Dear me! What ill judged benevo lence!" Then, his king having taken, he led the ace and smiled. "What infernal carelessness!" burst from the major. His queen had fallen upon his partner's ace. "Oh, hardly that! Surely the intent was manifest-not that I defend the practice, but one could hardly-er" Mr Gately leaned forward as he spoke, still smiling, his cards clasped against his breast and his head slightly to one side. "Confound it, man, I turned the queen when I dealt!" said the major. "The~ queen? Oh, yes, to be sure! I fear I am very stupid.

A Veteran's Recollections of One He Saw at Fortress Monroe In 1861. "It is curious, " said a veteran sol dier, "how some incident or circum stance may impart to a long familiar object to which we have never given any special thought a significance that makes it always thereafter an object of particular interest. The East river fer ryboats impress me in that way now whenever I see one, and this was brought about simply by seeing one of them out of its accustomed waters amid strange scenes and put to strange uses. "This was in the fall of 1861, in Hampton Roads. The regiment that I served in was aboard a transport there, waiting with other troops afloat there to go farther south under convoy of a fleet of war vessels. There was a great number of vessels there of all kinds, steamers and sailing vessels and war ships, and they made an impressive show, but certainly the most striking of any one of them on its first appearance was an East river ferryboat, the Com modore Perry. I can see her at this min ute as she looked then, moving across the waters of the Roads; she looked so utterly strange and .mrious there and amid such surroundings, But she went here and there with the most perfect confidence, constantly employed in transporting stores and troops and making herself quite as much at home there as she ever had been among the currents and eddies of the narrow East river. "Other ferryboats were taken down there. A soldier friend of mine tells me that later, in the peninsular cam paign, there was a New York ferryboat in those waters that was used as a gun boat, carrying two parrott guns, one at each end, mounted in the gangways, where the teams drive in and out. My own impression is that one or two of these boats went around Hatteras, into waters farther south; but, however that may be, I shall never forget the first time I saw the Commodore Perry at Fortress Monroe, and to this day I never go along South street without a feeling of the keenest personal interest for every ferryboat I see on the river. "-New York Sun. PURE TOBACCO. The London Lancet Says It Is Not Injuri ens to Smokers. Referring to the agitation started in France by a society which acts on the principle that "tobacco is always use less, often harmful and sometimes homi cidal, " The Lancet says: "We agree in so far that we allow tobacco to be some times very harmful. It is, of course, a poison. but so is tea, as also coffee two vegetable products which are con sumed by nearly every inhabitant of either England or France. All three can bc and very often are abused, but this does not do away with their reasonable use. In these days of rush and hurry to bacco has often a most soothing and restful effect. The tobacco sold in France is, to put it nildly, not good, and although in England it is possible to buy fairly gcod tobacco it is next door to impossible to get i:: pure. "That is to say, it is nearly always cented or treated in some way so as to give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are beyond the purse of any but a rich man, and as for cigarettes the filth sold as such is beyond description. A pure to bacco society would be an admirable in stitution, and, as for the traders saying 'customers like scented tobacco,' the customer seldom gets the chance of smoking anything else. The truth is that, as in the case of highly scented tea or soap, it is cheaper to 'fake' infe ior qualities of stuff than to supply the real thing. To be unsophisticated an rtile must be of good quality, but the 4 3raze for cheapness is ruining every thing, and when people buy cigarettes it 6 cents a hundred it is not to bo wondered at that they get-well, an in Eerior article. " In view of these dicta it is interesting to note that cigarettes are turned out in large quantities by firms of repute at a] retail price nearly a third less than the price mentioned by The .Lancet.-Lon ion Tl~mes. Red Men So Love to Drink. I "I was down in the Indian Territory few weeks ago, " said a St. Louis man the other day, "and business took me to1 the capital of the Cherokee Nation. here is no country in the world where 1 prohibitory laws are as strictly enforced3 is in the five civilized tribes. It is gainst the law to import any sort of ntoicating liquors under severe penal ies. The result is that it is a common thing for people to drink camphor, per Eume, hair tonics and any old liquor hat contains the faintest suggestion of lcohol.

In 1867 there stood an old fashioned ihanty east of the locality now occupitd by the Presentation convent, in front of the graveyard, and the people in the ieigbborhood used to tell strange stori. ibout this grewsome looking do-liing. E'or several years its occupancy was at parently confined to a decreiit (bIi manoi, vho used to crawl in and out abont onctc a day, his arms filled with packages from the market. He was known in the neigh borhood as be old dagm, though in reality ht- wa i native of Alsace. For several years he lived a hermit's life, and the n aot so accustomed to his con "m"'-i' d ;oings that even the small boS for"r o molest him. But one morning all te gossips found food for conver ation by the appearance of a remarllly lovely Foung woman who went out to and re turned from the Lntcher's stall and the ,rocer's. Sho spoke English imtperfec tly md with a very prenounced Fr iccent. This little cabin was d1 o be the scene of a very dram etie inei. lent in the history of Caliternia ga:-: aling. It was natural that a girl as pretty as [rene should not be long wit:out ad mirers. so it cane to pass that he Vin lows of the old house were lightod up very evening, and the Frenchnan de eloped the natural hospitality of his acn and gave little dinners and suppers o his exiled countrymen. But anmong :hose, as was only natural, there were ome who existed not by honest indus try, but by the gaming table. Among :hem was a young man of striking ap pearance who had served in France as sous ofilcier In a hussar regiment, had ;one the pace, ruined himself, and final ly drifted out to San Francisco, whcre be became the hanger on of the gambling able. Louis Le Marronais was a strikingly handsome specimen of the Parisian of is class. It did not take him very long :o gain the confidence of the old French man, and to him he confided the story f his life, It was not a very eventful ne. He was a member of an old French amily and could use if he pleased a itle which dated back to Charles the Bold. He had been rained by the ex bravagance of his younger brother and was then living on the income of a lit le property in Brittany, which he had saved from the wreck. Irene was his nly child, and he idolized her. For her make alone he wanted to be rich. le wanted to take her back to France and reinstate her in the position to whici' aer rank entitled her. The ex-hussar won the old man into he belief that his only chance of getting rich was through gambling. So night after night old Lescant was fcund at the El Dorado or some other gaming ell losing his money under the direc ion of the arch mentor. One night Irene ollowed him there to bring him back, d her first visit was a fateful one. Pom Monroe, a K ntuchian, one of the wlldest and most reckless characters of that period, saw her, admired her and swore that she should becorr.e his prop arty. It is not necessary to recite the inci :lents that led up to the sene, which were related to me by an eyewritness. It .s sflcien't to say that Le Marronais bad convinced the old Ffrenchmnan that Monroe would stake $5i0,C00 against he hand of Irene. If he won, she was o become his wife, but if he lost the noney was to become the Frenchman's property and Irene was free to bestow ier affections wherever she pleased. [rene was informed of this proposition, md she looked resigned and rather mused at the transaction. The eventful night arrived. Monroe, :he old man, Louis, Irene and a friend md countryman of the host were the nly inmates of the little room. The ;ame was ecarte, and the cards, which hois had marked, lay upon the table. he old uman got tihe deal. MIonroe's cer ified check for $50.000 was placed in ;he custody of the hussar. Th . ld man narked the king in the first deal, and ;hen the pack changed hands he had :he best of the game. The play went on, md in the last hand Monroe scored every joint. "Irene is mine!" shouted the Ken :uckiani, reaching for his check. At this moment the lights were dashed ut, and Monroe fell to the floor from :he stroke of some heavy instrutmenlt. Che only disinterested spectator of the cene fled from the room. The next norning there was no sign of life in the yld house, and in the evening when tihe ilkman knocked lhe heard a greaning rom the inside. He forced his way into ;he house and discovered the wretched Kentuckian bound hand and foot. Men oe, avowing murder, rushed the next norning to the banking house. The heck had been cashed by an individual ho answered the description of the mussar. The other actors in this star :ling scene were never heard of. Nothing n the house was disturbed, not even he girl's wearing apparel, and the inci lent became a portion of this strange istory of old time gambling in San 'rancisco. -San Francisco News Letter.

Black satin slippers laborately embroidered in cut jet are 'ery swell and make even the clum iest foot look slim and dainty. Pos essors of feet broader than or Ion er than four should, when possible, tick to a black evening slipper, for the ight colors make large feet look larger. silver and gold buckles, jeweled butter !ies and bugs, gold and silver enmbroi eries, fluffy bows and rosettes all look 0 beautiful fer anything in the shoe nan's window, but they are intended or little feet.
