" Once, during the war. our regi

" snd the good houaewifc, whoae
knowledge of the wide world wa per

prlMsl at the number of troop. 'Why.'
she exclaimed, 't did not believe there
were oo ntnny njn 'n ihe whole vorld!'
I tvfl aomewhat that way abjut the
flahlng industry: I never before be
lieved thre were ao many Una fish
In the Columbia river.
This la my first visit to the Went,
and to ay that I wa aurprined with
what I found here la a mild exprvwlon.
Thla la Indeed a gtorloua country and
t am already In love with the Weet.
I like the Western people, wno ar
not unlike the Southerner, and ot all
the trawling I have done T believe
my prenent trip will prove by far the
mo i en lovable."
Colonel Marmnn very y-mng
man when the Civil war broke out,
but he v intensely loyal to hi be
loved Stnuh, and at once prepared to
fia-ht for It. He went to Kentucky,
where he joined a regiment, ,not one
member of which wtw known to blm.
Throughout the four King and dark
yeara he endured the great hardship
Incident to war. He foujnt his way
to the rank of colonel. He say the
Southernera never for a. moment be
lieved thait the North would win the
war, and that, up to the surrender of
General Lee, thla belief prevailed
throughout the South. With the ur
render of General Lee, however, hope
vanished and the mm who had
fought and bled for th South quietly
aubmltt"! to the new ord r of things.
