Geueral Basil Duko of Louisville, commander of Morgan's cavalry , fol lowing the death of his brother-in-law. General John Morgan, told this story at a reunion of the survivors of the battle of Shiloh. I He said that during one of the Ten nessee campaigns Morgan's men sur prised and drove back a regiment of Federal troopers. In the midst of tbe retreat one of the enemy, who was mounted upon a big bay horse, sud denly turned and charged the victori ous Confederates full tilt, wafing his arm and shrieking like mad as he bore down upon them alone. Respecting such marvelous courage, the )Confed erates forbore shooting the approach ing oe, but when he was right upon them they saw there was n different reason for his foolhardlness. He was a green recruit. His horse had run away with him. The bit had broken, and, white as a sheet and Scared stiff, the luckless youth was be ing propelled straight at the whooping Kentucklans. begging for mercy as he come. '.1'" ' ' Jeff Sterritt, a noted wit of the com mand, stopped the horse and made a willing prisoner of the rider. Sterritt, who had not washed or shaved for days and was a ferocious looking per son, pulled out a big pistol. '.'I don't know whether to kill you right uow," he said, "or wait until the Oght is over." . . ' ; "Mister," begged the quivering cap tive, "don't do it nt all. I'm a dissi pated character, and I ain't prepared to die." Philadelphia Saturday Even ing Post. .. ' REAL ROOF GARDENS. The Kind They Plant on Log Cabin In Rural Norway. ' The log cabins of rural Norway are built of heavy pine logs hewed square and : of equal size from end to end. They are usually stained or oiled, and their rich yellowish or brownish color is in harmony with almost any sur roundings. Their roofs are Bodded, a circumstance that adds plcturesqueness to the general effect. "I have come across roofs that were a riot of wild pansles," says a writer in the Craftsman, "and I have seen wonderful roofs where wild roses hung over the eaves or a daisy roof, the ef fect of whose white, Btarllke flowers, topping the dark brown structure, was exquisitely picturesque i "Some roof s produce only pasture grass, and the story runs In Norwegian folklore that a lazy man led his cow on the roof the cabin was built against a hill instead of taking her to the pas ture. I have no doubt that the story is (me. for I have often seen n couple of white kldlcts gamboling on the soft green housetops while the mother goaf, grave and ruminative, was tethered to the chimney. "Rod roofs are Just as water tight ns others If they are laid correctly. A board roof is Hint laid upon a house, and this is covered with a layer of birch bark. On top of this comes a layer of sod with tbe grass turned down to tbo roof, then a rather thick layer of earth" and finally another layer of sod, this time with the grass up. The result is a most exquisite and poetical covering for the house." Work of the Doctor. Dr. Stephen Paget has some interest ing observations on the doctor and his rewards in his "Confesslo Medici." "If medicine is a trade why should the doctor so often work for nothing?" he asks. "If It is an art what works of art does he produce? None, says Claude Bernard, 'Le medecin artiste ne cree rlen.' But surely he is wrong. The doctor, so far from creating noth ing, creates life, for be saves or pro longs life, creates more life. If Miss X. is seventy, and the doctor by an op eration enables her to live till she is seventy-five he has not prolonged the seventy years, for they were ended be fore he came, but be has created five brand new years. If he had not been there they would not be here. ; That is creation." London Chronicle.
