THE SCOUT'S HIDE.
Christmas day, 1862, found the Army
of the Potomac in winter quarters near
Falmouth, Va., writes Major George F.
Williams in The Rider and Driver. With
that elasticity of spirit bo characteristic
of the veterivn soldier, the Union troous
had already recovered from the effect:!
of that terrible battle at Fredericksburg,
when the several corps were buffeted by
Lee's guns on St. Mary's Heights. Many
a familiar face was missing: from the
ranks, but convalescents were rapidly
arriving from the hospital, and the army
was preparing for its approaching sprin;;
and summer campaign, which ended at
Gettysburg.
While his staff was exchanging
Christmas greetings soon after reveillo
General Hooker summoned to his pres
ence Jim White, one of the headquarters
scouts.
"White," said the general, "I learn
from Washington that it is believed
that the rcbs contemplate a movement
through the Loudon valley. You must
go and ascertain if this is true."
"All right, general," replied the scout,
with a brief salute as he turned to leave
the tent.
"What route will you take?" asked
the general.
"I shall go by the Warrenton road
and leave our lines from the pickets of
General Sykes' regulars. From Warren
ton to Aldie gap is a day's ride, and then
I will be in the valley."
"I hope to see you (hen iu five days."
"If I get back at all, sir, you will see
me on New Year's eve. It can't be done
any quicker."
"Very well. Go and get your pass."
It was a great disappointment for Jim
White, this being summoned for danger
ous duty on Christmas day, for he had
intended being one of the guests of a
comrade who had received a fat turkey
from home. But, putting aside all
thought of the proposed festivity, Jim
got his pass for the picket line, and sad
dling his horse rode away from head
quarters. Beaching the little village of Aldie on
the afternoon of the second day, Jim
rode through the gap as the setting sun
began to gild the mountain tops. Dressed
in faded butternut, the usual costume of
a Virginia farmer, the Bcout hal met
with no adventure, and he was looking
forward to a speedy termination to his
errand.
The horse Jim rode was a remarkable
animal. Possessing good blood and ac
tion, it nevertheless was rather uncouth
in appearance. Its coat was very rough,
and as the scout seldom used the curry
comb, the brute did not look like a fast '
one. Jim, however, knew the good qual
ities of his beast, for they had often been
proved in critical moments. Always
adopting the character of a Virginia
farmer, Jim's shaggy horse aided in the
deception, and only those who knew his
real character would recognize a famous
scout in the queer picture he made in the
saddle.
"Seems to me," said the scout, solilo
quizing, "those people in Washington
are always finding mare's nests. Here I
am in the Loudon and not a reb in
Bight."
As he uttered the words, Jim came to
another road which crossed the one he
had been following. In an instant he
discovered the approach of a Confederate
cavalry patrol. Accustomed to such
perils, Jim very coolly checked his steed
and waited for the little party.
" Whar yeou cum from?" demanded the
cavalry leader as he and his men rode up.
"Bin down in Aldio," drawled Jim.
"Went to see how things looked down
thar."
"B'lohg to the army?"
"Well, not exactly, though I've done
my share toward thinning out the
Yanks."
"Oh, then yon are one of Mosby's
men?"
"Yaas."
"And whar are yeou going?"
"Up by the way of Ashby gap. Prom
ised to be in Martinsburg tomorrer."
"Is that the road to Aldie?"
"Yaas. It's the way I've come."
"Well, good (Jay; wo must get through
the gap tonight."
"Yeou can do it easy. There's no
Yanks this side of Warrenton."
"Thanks."
And then the patrol proceeded. Jim
having mentioned Ashby gap was com
pelled to take the road just left by the
Confederates, for unless he did go he
knew their suspicions might be aroused.
Thanking his lucky stars for getting by
them so easily, Jim supposed ho had es
caped. Ho had not yet got out of sight,
however, when he heard one of the men
say:
" 'Pears to me, sargint, that fellow's a
Yank. Mebbe he's a scout."
Jim White dug his mpun into his
horse's flanks.. The animal started off
on a gallop. Having got so good a t tart,
the scout decided to risk everything by
instant flight. The rapid reverberations
of his horse's hoofs on the frozen earth
betrayed ins purpose, ana ine putrui was
soon thundering in pursuit after him.
Jim knew that he was in danger of
being shot, but as he was also aware that
the aim of galloping horsemen is always
very uncertain he entertained very little
fear on that score. To him capture now
meant certain death at the end of a rope
swung over the convenient trunk of a
tree. Unless he could outstrip his pur
suers his career as a Union scout was at
an end.
On and on rode the fugitive scout and
his pursuers, the latter occasionally giv
ing voice to the yell so often heard from
Confederate throats. Gradually the dis
tance between Jim and the patrol wi
dened, and it seemed tolerably clear that
the scout would ultimately escape by
the superior speed of his horse.
Gleefully looking up the straight road
that led to the gap, Jim's heart sudden
ly .stopped beating, for he had just dis
covered the approach of another body
of horsemen. His sharp eyes told him
that the newcomers were enemies. He
bad apparently fallen into a trap.
But Jim White would never have suc
ceeded as a scout had his wits been less
sharp. He had been in similar straits
before, yet had escaped. By a sudden
twist of his rein he compelled the animal
nnder him to make a bolt to the right,
and almost at the same instant the horse
made a leap over the stone fence. Then,
stretching out on a furious gallop, his
steed was soon crossing the field of
snow strewn stubble.
Both of the Confederate patrols fol
lowed, but as they were delayed in get
ting over the fence Jim had meantime
reached the other side of the field, his
horse leaping a wide ditch in his stride.
Two or three carbines were emptied at
him as the horse rose from the leap, but
all the bullets went wide of their mark.
It was now a test of speed and endur
ance, and Jim had again a sanguine hope
of escape. He knew the valley wejl, and
as he rode gallantly forward the thought
entered his busy brain that on the other
ride of a small wood he was approaching
there was a road leading toward the
Eiver Potomac. He also remembered
that a mile or two below there was a
bridge across a narrow creek, and he at
once formed the plan by which he finally
eluded his pursuers.
It took only a few seconds to enter the
wood and dash through it. On reaching
the road he darted off again, being fully
a mile ahead when the Confederates took
up his trail. In less than 10 seconds Jim
hud reached the bridge, it being just be
yond a sharp turn in the road, thus shut
ting him out of the sight of the united
patrols.
Suddenly reining in, he dismounted
and led his horse under the bridge. Once
there, he covered tho animal's nose with
his hat to check its labored breathing
and ordered it to kneel. The command
was promptly obeyed by the docile steed,
it seeming to recognize its master's peril.
Standing there, ready for any emergency,
the scout calmly waited, hearing the
sharp clatter of the Confederates as they
rapidly approached. Nearer and nearer
came the thundering hoofs, and a mo
ment later they rattled on the bridge.
The trained and intelligent animal gave
no sign of its presence, and in a few min
utes the pursuing party was out of sight
and hearing. Then Jim returned to the
road and galloped away up tho valley.
He reached Aldie gap late in the night,
and passing through without challenge
bivouacked in a wood near the Center
ville road. Ho reached General Hooker
on New Year's eve and made his report,
and thus it was that Jim White's shaggy
but fleet steed saved him from capture
and death. True Flag. .
Trouble With a Cook.
Mrs. Joshua and her family desired to
acquire the correct Parisian accent and
therefore engaged a French cook a lady
whose pot au feu had attained more than
universal reputation. But no English
household can live on fricasses, raie au
beurre noir and asperges frappees. and
when, therefore, the French cuisiniore
was asked to supply a British breakfast
the result was a failure. Tho mistress,
naturally enough, expostulated with the
cook, who replied in tho latest Parisian
style. "Millo tounerres," sho cried,
"you no like my preakfast plan plan,"
and at each word she hurled a plate or
cup to the floor and danced upon the at
oms. At such a game the largest supply of
china must become exhausted, and when
the Cadogan square French cook had
danced upon the last atom she was able to
manufacture, she took up a kitchen knife
and, like the famous Valol, not only
threatened in chagrin to end her own
days, but to finish some other person's
also. It took four or five fellow servants
to hold her down until the mistress read
the sentence of formal and immediate
dismissal. The cuisiniore now sued Mrs.
Joshua in tho Westminster county court
for a month's wages in lieu of notice,
but the judge held that, no matter how
the law stood in France, her conduct
was not in consonance with English cus
tom and therefore merited dismissal.

A Fluntraled Pilgrim.
A good pilgrim story comes from
Rome. It appears that among the Irish
pilgrims to the Eternal City was a cer
tain shopkeeper from Mullingar. This
gentleman looked forward with more
concern than any of his fellow travelers
to seeing his holiness ami on the morn
ing of the audience at the Vatican was
beside himself with excitement. Now it
o bannened that when the Irish rjilgrims
were about to enter that particular part
of the Vatican where the pope was wait
ing to receive them, the shopkeeper from
Mullingar got separated from the rest of
his friends and turning the handle of a
ponderous door found himself in the
presence of the august head of the Ro
man Catholic church. The blood almost
froze in his veins, and in vain did he
look for a face that he recognized. The
splendor, too, of the papal court did not
improve matters. So what he did was
to throw himself on his knees at the feet
of the pope and shout out, loud enough
to be heard in every corner of the vast
chamber, "O howly father, Oi'm from
Mullingar 1" Yorkshire (England) Post.
Aluminium Plating.
Much interest has been aroused by the
electroplating of the iron work of the
Philadelphia city hall tower with alumi
nium. It is expected that three years
will be occupied iu completing the work,
as the process of aluminium plating is
very tedious, and there is a surface of 50,
000 square feet to be covered. The iron is
first given baths of caustic soda, of dilute
sulphuric acid and of copper solution in
immense tanks 28 feet long, 4 feet wide
and 5 feet deep. The aluminium tank
holds about 7,000 gallons and receives the
work after it has been dipped. Nearly 10
tons of aluminium will be required to
coat the whole surface. New York Telegram.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.

Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to miike twenty-live hundred
dollars' II you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but It would
like to handle thousands more. There Is plenty
of Inventive tallent at larco In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NUT NO H JICIt AN ITSCKIIS.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is tliat an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edlsou or
Hell; that he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
lo their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones tbe things that seem so absurdly
trivial that tho average citizen would feel
somewhat ashsmed of -bringing them to the
attention of the l'utcnl Olllee.
Kdison says that the profits he has received
from tbe patents on all bis marvelous inven
tions have not been sufficient to pay tho cost
of his experiments. Hut the man who con
ceived the Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that It would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modem sewing-machine
Is a miracle of Ingenuity the product
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
a hundred and lilty years, but tbe whole bril
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the poim In
stead of at the other end.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOMT
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themielvi
as Inventors, but almost every body hat been
struck, atone time or another, with Ideal that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed wlthoutfurther thought. ,
"Why don't the railroad company make Its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how It ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is late.'for breakfast. "If I were in tbe
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the hext con
venieut opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons Into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as Independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.

Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COOTPETIOft.
This Is a competition of rather an unusol na
ture. It Is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling his for the
amouu of the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer Is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
The prize Is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without It.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on a certain corner Is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
Ittle use to him. But the person who patents a
slmplo and useful device in the Prs. fMim.

result to show for his work one timt on
