Tha Wounded Generel's Herolo Brsv
ary In tha Facs of Destb dieter's
Brilliant Chargt at 8een by a'Con
federate Cavalryman. '
"Th moat brtfllant charge I
witnessed waa made by Custer at the
until or lenow Tavern," said id old
Confederate cavalryman. "It waa
near tbo beginning of what historians
now (all too Wilderness campaign.
I waa wltb Job fltuart. General
Kit Lee'a division. Wlckham'a brt
gide and fbll Sheridan's troops wara
nHtiifing oo us Ilka a pack of hungry
wolves, nipping ua at every turn.
MW left Hanover Junction about
o'clock one night and reached Yellow
Tavern before 10 o'clock the next
morning. Wa hadn't mora than baited
at the Tii rrn when up cornea Bbartdan
and trie to drive ua out It waa
pretty tough struggle, a band to band
fight, and wa fell back from the Tar-
era, but held our poattion on the tele
graph road leading to Richmond.
waa wltb the battery on the extreme
left wing, and It waa about 2 o'clock
In tha afternoon when ordera came for
the wbnl division, except the Pbxrt
glitlann. to dismount
"It did aeetn good. I can tell you,
after ao many hour In the aaddla. to
stretch out on the ground and take
a awokethat la, all who bad anything
to amoxe. There waa Juat one pipeful
among tnat whole battery, and toe
boy who owned It paaaed It down tha
line, and each man took bta turn puff
ing at It When It waa gone wa all
IxKaa to speculate on what deviltry
Biienuan would be up to next and
bow Jeb Stuart would bead him off.
It wasn't long before aoroe fellow
wished for a drink of water.
"You know bow It la When one man
wUliea for water the whole company
bcglna to swear they are dying of
thirst Jack Saunders and I took a
bunch of canteens and started over the
bill to a sprlug that be had seen that
morning. I waa on my bands and kneea
over the spring when I beard 8a un
dors' grunt of surprise.
There, only a few hundred yards
away, was a considorobl body of cav
alry. Sure that waa our right wing,
I wondered to see them mounted and
la ranks. Just then tha vt.c of an of
ficer rang out:
"Cavalry! Attention) Draw saber r
'The entire line moved forward at a
quick walk, and as the officer wheeled
bis horse I saw bla face. My God, It
waa Custert The situation came to
8aundet and ma Ilka a flash. We
threw down the cantoena and started
back to the battery on a dead run. ,
"Trotr Custer'a voice rasg out
agalu. Then be shouted. 'Charger
"With wild cheers, bla cavalry dash
ed forward In a sweeping gallop, at
tacking our entire left' wing at the
same time. We saw our battery taken,
our line broken and our men running
like sheep. Saunders and I bad but one
thought to Join our fleeing company.
As we reached the telegraph road
above the din of the battle I beard Jeb
Stuart's voice. There be waa. making
a stand with a bandful of men around
blra.
"It seemed but a moment before Cus
ter'a troona were coming back aa fast
as they bad gone forward. They bad
met tho First Virginians. . Wa greeted
them with the rebel yell and the last
charge In our weapona. Jeb Stuart
cheered us on all, bow be cheered us!
I gave them my last shot and waa fol
lowing with my weapon clubbed when
Tel. Main 2481 J I saw a man who had been dismounted
and was running out turn a be paea
ed our rally and Are bis pistol.
"Jeb Stuart swayed In his saddle. It
was only for a moment; tbon bla voice
rang out. cheering his struggling
troops. The enemy rallied hist across
the road and fired a volley into the
little band gathered around Jeb Sturft.
His horse sprang forward, with a
scream of agony, and sank down on Its
knees. Aa we lifted the general off
the young officer who waa bolplng me
exclalme , ,
" My Cod, general you are wounded!
Llour dothea are soaked with blood!
You must leave tbe field. Birr
"No,' Oeneral Stuart answered; l
will not leave until victory ta assured.
Get me another bone.' -
"When I returned with tbe bora
he waa seated with hla back against
tree, and when be tried to get up,
weakened by , loss of Mood, he tank
back again. , , . t , . (- ;
" Gof ha commanded us. 1 am done
for. Ftta Lea needs every man. I
order you to go.'
" We cannot obey that order, gen
eral,' tha young officer told him, and
I'll never forget the look that cam
over his face when be faced the gen
eral. 'We must carry you to a plact
of safety, however the battle goes.'
" 'It must not go against ua,' Stuart
replied, and the thought seemed to put
fresh vigor In bis body. Tou must
put me on my horse and keep me there
My men must not know that I am
wounded.' , ' , .
"We lifted blm on his horse, and,
mounting our own, we held him In his
saddle. When the, tide of the battle
turned, supported between us, he made
a last effort to rally bis fleeing troops.
"'Go back, men!' he cried. 'Go baek,
men! Oo back and do your duty t' ,
"Wa felt him sway In his saddle. The
young officer turned our horses' heads

Th Catamaran.
While it la rarely employed by Euro
peans as a method of travel, even In
emergencies, tbe catanmran of tbe
Madras fishermen of India Is by all
odds tbe most extraordinary of water
vehicles. It consists simply of three
logs lashed together and flush with the
surface of the water. On these a fish
erman (sometimes two or more fisher
men) stands and with a single oar pad
dles himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft, and
even In weather when boata cannot be
launched be will go through the surf
and out to ahlpa with letters for thai
delivery of which be gta a few pence.
In order to catch their ahlpa a few be
lated travelers have been known to
trust themaelrea on catamaran. Tbey
are united in th statement that the
ride on the logs waa th most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
in a land that holds new thrill for
the stranger at every turn. Th sea
and an occasional ducking have no ter
rors for these natives, not even tbe ex
tremely young, and In reality the cata
maran la not entirely to be scorned, for
It la after all nonainkahw.

Real Causae of Earthquakes.
While civilised manna trying to grasp
the meaning of an earthquake the un
civilized of all agea bave long ago re
solved their doubts. In Mongolia It Is
the breathings and shippings of a huge
frog that cause the mischief, In China
a gigantic dragon, in India a world
bearing elephant, In Celebes a hog and
hi other countries the scheme Is varied
by the introduction of a bull and a tor
toise. Earthquakes In Siberia are be
lieved to be due to the frolics of mam
moths who live In the center of the
earth, while In Vancouver Island It Is
the spirit of evil with his marshaled
hosts of all the wicked people who
hav vr ltvd.
