TWO WAB TALES.
Under this caption the . Washington
Post recalis two war storied touching
the brilliant cavalry leader John H.
Morgan, of Kentucky, in . which it
says:
"We are long enough away from the
passions of that period to give two
tales of this Du Gueselin, this Dunois,
this Rupert, this humane Claverhouse.
One is that he and the commander of
the Union forces that captured him
had this sort of meeting:
" "It is related that when General
Morgan was apprehended in Ohio that
lutely to allow him to surrender his
sword to a captain of artillery when
he arew it from its sheath and ex
tended the hilt to his captors. This
courtesy overwhelmed the Confeder
ate leader, and he presented his fine
saddle to his former comrade. The
saddle remained with General Shack
leford until a forged order was pre
sented one day, and it was relinquish
cd to a stranger. Since then no trace
of it has ever been found.
"That is very fine and ought to have
been real. Perhaps it was real. It

"Shackleford, so the story goes, de
nounced Morgan when the latter was
in his power. The prisoner only drew
himself up and allowed contempt to
curl his lip. Then it was that Wolford
stepped forth and rebuked his supe

THE CAB SHORTAGE.
A severe car shortage seems to be
approaching. When the Great Lakes
are closed to navigation, thus throw
ing the transportation of wheat and
flour traffic onto the railroads, when
a great corn crop is ready to be
moved, when millions of bales of cot-
tcn are unloaded at railway stations
then, indeed,
will the demand for
freight cars outrun the supply
The tonnage offered the railroads is
ft'llv large as that of 1907. In 1907
there were 904,821 box cars, and near
ly all of these were of 60,000 pounds
capacity or of still larger size, for the
increase in the capacity of freight
cars Is rapidly leading to the use of
cars that carry 100,000 pounds. In

temporarily and dissolve his hardened
features into a grin. When you com

now being held at Burlington, and
will also look after his farming in

SENT REAL FIRE ENGINES
TO COLLECT HIS LETTEHS
Being: a Story .of the Attempt of an
Up-State New Yorker to Mail
Cards in a Fire Alarm Box.
New York, Oct. 7. Archie Wagner,
who came down from the farm in Ad
ams, Jefferson county, with his wife,
Samantha, to attend the Hudson-Fulton
celebration, thought he'd send
some pictures of the town to the folks
at home yesterday, so he went to a
drug store at Seventh avenue and
Twenty-second street, while Saman
tha watched from the window of the
room they had engaged just across
the way.
Archie got ten cents' worth of the
most pictorial post cards, and, after
filling the blank spaces with brilliant
witticisms for the benefit of Joe, who
does chores on the farm; Hank, the
saddler; Pete, the corner groceryman
and a few other notable citizens of
Adams, he asked for the postofflce.
"Just across the street there is a
box," said the clerk. "Drop 'em in
that"
Just across the street Archie found
a box, but he couldn't find any slots in
it for the reception of letters. He fum
bled with-it for a few minutes and
then, remarking that "he'd be dinged
if he'd let any such jigger beat him,'
smiled confidently up at Samantha
and gave a mighty wrench to the han
dle of the box.
By ling: exclaimed Archie, as a
bell inside began . to tinkle. "A mail
box that plays music! If that don't
beat all!"
He was still marvelling when a
louder clang drew his attention, and
along the street came rushing a hoot
and ladder truck, followed by Battal
ion Chief Turpenny in a carriage an
ne fire engine.
'Vv here's the fire?" somebody yelled
' Don't know," replied Archie. "Been
too busy trying to get these cards in
is yere jiggered old machine."
A deep shade of blue pervaded the
atmosphere for a few minutes. Then
as a policeman came up, Chier lur-
penny forced himself to laugh and
whispered something. The policemar
nodded and waved Archie to vanisl:
which he did, stuffing his post cards
in his pocket with the resolve to de
liver them in person when be get
back to Adams. After which the fir
apparatus returned sadly to quarters.
HORNETS STOP REVIVAL.
Swarm Invades a Church in Georgia
and People Run Out.
Boston, Ga., Oct, 11. A great re
vival recently in progress at the Bap
tist Church here was broken up by
the swarming yellow jackets which
had built nests back of the pulpit.
The services were at high tension
the preacher being engaged in calling
sinners to the mourning bench, when
the yellow jackets began to dart out
from their nests and sting saints and
sinners alike. In a few minutes there
seemed to be thousands cf the spiteful
insects flying about the church and
larting their stings into the brethren
and sisters.
The preacher was one cf the first to
be stung, and the pain put a stop to
is exhortations. The women scream
ed when struck by the yellow jackets
nd many of the men said things that
ad no churchly sound.
After standing for the stinging
few minutes, the congregation got
nto a panic and bolted from the
hurch, leaving the sacred edifice in
ossession of the yellow jackets.
Five hundred men, women and chil-
ren put lotions on "stung" spots that
night.

UNANIMOUS RULING
Case od Appeal Will Be Car
ried Before U. S. Su
preme Court.
!tay of Execution for Forty Days Is
Granted and Financier Will Be
Given His Liberty During:
Final Adjudication.
New York; Oct. 11. The United
S tates Circuit Court of Appeals today
t ermed the decision of the lower i
deral Court sentencing Charles W.
,-Iurse, the former banker and steam-
; ip capitalist, to fifteen years' im-
risenment in the Federal prison at
Ltlanta, Ga.
The United States Court of Appeals
fhu- afternoon granted a stay of forty
!ays in the execution of the sentence
.pon Morse.
The decision of the Circuit Court of
appeals is final, so far as direct ap-i
:-al is concerned, but it was said to
.ay that counsel for Morse wuold ap
ply to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States for a writ of certiorari in
rder to bring about a review of the
proceedings by that court.
At the office of Mr. Morse's counsel
ay it was stated that the case
. uld be taken to the United States
? .yreme Court and an application for
: ,il would be made.
V hile the court today did not light
- a the sentence which Morse has been
:iving to annul, its decision was not
,'iirly adverse, because it sustained
niy ten of the fifty-three counts on
lach he was convicted by a jury.
I ; is, say his attorneys, will leave a
ans of approach to the court of last
sort, and an aoplicction t- v a writ
f certiorari to review the tase will
-3 made on October 18 in Washing
ton. 'Mr. Morse is keenly disappointed
i judgment against him was not
versed," said his lawyer. Martin W.
-.ttleton, today, "but he has faith
:; at it will be when the case is
; iibbt before the Supreme Court of
United Stairs. He is not cast
vu by the decision, and as far as
will be allowed his liberty pending
aal adjudication of the matter he
ill continue to repair his broken for
tune and help those whom he Is sup
posed to have injured."
As soon as application for a writ of
t ertiorari is made this acts as a stay
of sentence, Mr. Littleton said. Morse's
attorneys had the Circuit Court of Ap
cals in New York grant a stay in the
rcecution of the sentence. This per
mits Morse to remain in the Tombs
arisen until the United States Su
reme Court decides whether or not
gain to admit him to bail.
Mr. Morse heard the decision of the
court in the United States marshal's
office, where he had gone to receive it.
He took the news calmly, and as soon
as the decision was read to him form
aUy surrendered himself to the mar
shal. TLi decision of the Circuit Court
judges today was unanimous. To
Morses complaint that fifteen years
was excessive, in view of the suspen
sion of sentence on Alfred H. Curtis,
who was indicted with him, the court
answers that this Is a complaint to be
made to the President of the United
States in asking clemency.

Beauty Hints
A Typewriter Tells How She Keeps
Erect and Her Neck from Sagging
A Tight Collar Fatal to a Beautiful
Throat Valuable Saggestions By
One Who Knows
"How do I keep my back straight
and my neck from sagging?" said the
woman who spent hours each day at
a typewriter. "I write with my chest
up and my eyes turned ceilingward.
"I never allow myself to stoop, sit
ting well back on my chair to make
the erect position possible, and when
ever I do not have to look at my copy
I throw the neck back.
"When, taking dictation It is quite
easy to keep the head up and I ar
range my notes on a rack on the level
with my eyes. Naturally I use the
touch system so the keys need not
be watched.
"Often, when working In a room by
myself I twist my head and take
neck-stretching movements while writ
ing to fight off the double chin and
sagging threat muscles that are so
common for women who sit at a desk
or piano much.
"The way I happened to think of
combining neck development and work
was by watching my grandmother.
Her throat is as thin and supple as a
girl's though she is nearly 80, and she
has none of the sagging and lines that
most of us connect with age.
"She told me that 4 whenever she
Cot a chance during the day, when
ever she had to plan any of her work
or wanted a minute's rest, she sat
with her eyes turned heavenward, her
chest up and the muscles at the back
of the neck contracted.
"Often as she sat there she would
massage the throat muscles with the
tips of her fingers or draw the palms
of her hands alternately from the line
of her chin toward her chest. She
usually carried a small tube of cold
cream in her pocket and would put
just enough on her fingers to keep
the skin from getting sore.
"How did she manage about her
collar? She never wore one around
the house, but had her morning frocks
made with a narrow surplice neck to
give freedom and air to the throat
"Grandmother never went to a beau
ty doctor in her life but. she agrees
with most of them that a tight collar
is fatal to a beautiful throat. I can
not go collarless in an office but I
take it off the minute I reach home
and always wear a Dutch neck dress
in the evening."
Cucumber Milk.
The formula for cucumber cream la
as follows:
Oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces;
fresh cucumber juice, 10 ounces; es
sence of cucumbers, 3 ounces; white
castile soap (powdered), 1-2 ounce;
tincture of benzoin, 2-3 dram.
To obtain the Juice of the cucum
bers slice them very thin, skin and
all, cover with a very little water and
let cook slowly until soft and mushy;
press through a fine sieve, then strain
through a cheesecloth. To make the
essence, take equal parts of pure t"co
hox and the Juice; put the essence
and soap in a Jar, the larger the bet
ter, as the mixture requires much
shaking; after the soap is fully dis
solved add the cucumber juice. Shake
until thoroughly mixed, then pour into
a bowl and add the oil and benzoin,
stirring until you have a creamy sub
stance. Put into small bottles, tight
ly corked and keep in a dark place. It
does not require a preservative other
than the Oriental paste, it is best to
use the fresh figs and apricots; If
these are not to be had the dried fruit
can be used.
