ONE MORE. BATTLE That Was What General Lee Wanted Before Yielding. HIS TALK WITH LONGSTREET. Major Ranson's Interesting Account of the Scene In the Confederate Com mander' Cheerless Tent the Night Before the Surrender. An Interesting iKmuiit of the dra matic scene nt Uem-rnl Lee's headquar ters the night before the surrender, when the Confederate commander was still determined to strike one more blow for the en use for which he was Dghtlug, is given by Major A. It. II Ransou in Harper's Magazine. Major Hanson writes: . "When I arrived at headquarters General Lee was la a tent, sitting with General Loagstreet on some bundles of rye straw, the ground being wet . from the rain, at the upper side of the tent, with one candle for a light. I made my report, and the general told me to wait, as he wished to see me. He nsked mc if I had had anything to eat, and I told hliu no. lie said he wns sorry he had nothing to offer me. He gave mo ft bundle of straw and told me to sit near the door. "It had been raining all afternoon, and I was quite wet. I was also very tired, so I put my foot through the bridle rein of my mare standing out side and, lying down on the bundle of straw, was soon asleep. "I was awakened by voices and, looking up, saw the colonel I had left In charge of the troops at the bridge standing In the tent. lie reported that the rations had not arrived, and the starving and discouraged troops had all deserted in the darkness, leaving j their arms In the. trenches. "General Lee heard him to the end of his account, and then with a wave of his hand dismissed him. Turning to General Longstreet, he said: 'This is very bad. That man Is whipped. It Is the first time I have seen one of my officers who had been whipped. It Is very bad.' "The conversation between the gen erals was then resumed In low tones, and 1 ugulu fell asleep. 1 must have slept far some length of time when I wns awakened by General Lee's voice, speaking in loud tone?, louder tbnu I bad ever heard from him. lie vu3 saying, 'General Longstreet, I will strike thr.t man n blow in the morn ing.' General Lee sometimes spoke of General Giant in 'that man' and of the Federal army as "those people.' ."General Longstreet replied In low tones, giving the strength and coudi tion of his command and the strength and Dosltlnu of the enemv. und con- eluded by saying. "Uut you have only to give in? the order and the attack will be made in the morning.' Again the conversation was resumed In low tones, and I fell asleep. "I must have slept for an hour at loaRt when again I won nwnkrnod by 1 the loud, inmost floivo. timoi nt f'.nn 1 ernl Lee, Haying. ! tell yo:i. General Longstreet. I will strike that man n b'ow In the morning.' General Long iBircer again rerounred tne !i!lJeuitlC3, ending as before, General, you know you have cniy tn give the order nnd the attack will be made, but- 1 must tell yo:i I think It will lie a useless waste of I t:iv? lives.' "Thinking I had been present long enough at such an Interview, I cough ed nnd got up from the straw and, drawing back the flaps of the tent, looked out into the darknes.i. General Lee said: 'Captain UaiiMon, I beg your pardon. I liad forgotten you. Go now and get something to cat nnd some rest. I will see you In the morning.'

Edwin Noble in "The Dog Lover's Book" recalls the historic story of the two famous decrhounds Help and Hold, a monument to which can be seen to this day at Roslin chapel. The legend is that King Robert Bruce while hunting upon the Pent land hills had several times started a white deer, but had hitherto been unable to capture it It had always so quickly outdistanced his own hounds that he began to Imagine that It was gifted with supernatural pow ers and could not be overtaken by mortal dogs. Naturally his nobles agreed with him, as there was no one bold enough to affirm that he owned hounds whic h were better than those possessed by his sovereign. There was, however, one exception, William St. Clair, who wagered his head that his two favorite hounds, Help and Hold, would kill the deer before she crossed the Pentland brook. Bruce accepted the challenge and wa gered the forest of Tcntland moor against Sir William's head. The white deer was roused by a cou ple of bloodhounds and given a fair start before St. Clair released his two favorites. After a long chase, follow ed by Sir William and Bruce on horse back, tho deer reached tho brook, jand Sir William, feeling sure that he had lost his wager, prepared to give him self Into the hands, of Bruce, but be fore the deer could get farther than halfway across Hold had seized her, and, Help coming up at the same mo ment, they forced her to turn back. In the end she was killed within the stip ulated boundary. Procrastination Is one of the moat expensive forms of happiness. Life. ( NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT.

Be sure and get FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, as preparations containing opiates stop the cough temporarily by paralyzing the nerves in the throat and leave the germs of serious lung trouble and you get one cold on another because the first one was not cured perfectly.
