cars was wrecked Monday near Salu

M’COOK’S VISIT TO A SCOUT.
How the Faiuoun tirm-ral Hliowed
IILa Hesurtl For an Old Friend.
Several years ago the lute (icnerul
Alexander McDowell McCook paid a
visit to Santa Fe, N. M., with some
railways officials, says the Kansu's City
Star. On arriving at Santa Fe ins tirst
Inquiry was for one Lucian Stewart
Ho was told that Stewart was in the
hospital, awaiting death from old age.
"Then he may die tonight, and I will
see him tirst,” tae general quietly re
marked. And then, with his aid, he
went directly to the hospital and was
quickly by the cot of the old man.
“Stewart, don’t you know' me?” he
Inquired lu a tender way, at the same
time extending his hand.
Stewart did not reply for fully one j
minute, all the time holding the gen
eral’s hand and scanning ids features.
At last a ray of light broke over bis
countenance and with a smile he said:
“Yes, I remember you. You are the
young lieutenant who never smoked
before breakfast.”
Here the two broke into a laugh, tire
heartiest laugh perhaps the old Invalid
had enjoyed for a decade. Stewart
had been the chief of scouts when,
forty years ago, McCook was fighting
Apaches on the frontier. The general
had not seen him since that war, but
showed his deep regard for his old
friends by remembering so humble a
comrade. The remark of the old scout
referred to a time when McCook, then
a lieutenant, and a detail under Colonel
SL Train were chasing the Apaches.
They had struck a hot trail and had
been on it thirty-six hours without
food. Fearing to wait to prepare a
meal, for every minute was then pre
cious. so close was the trail, Colonel
St. Train determined to keep on his
march. Realizing the <-ondition of his
men and officers, he had given per
mission for the men to partake of such
rations as they could In the saddle, and
turning to his lieutenant he remarked:
“McCook, have a cigar?”
“No, thank you, sir,” was the quick
response; “I never smoke before break
fast”
