WOMAN PLAYED HEROIG PART IN THE GIVIL WAR Gave Husband and Sons and While They Were Away Dili- [ gently Cultivated Plantation. Charleston, S. C.—During the first days of that most lamentable conflict that we now know as the civil war a ljttle woman in this state gave her husband and their four grown sons to fight for the cause that to her seemed just. She was not belligerent; she was brave. A few years later a neighbor brought her word that all but the youngest boy had been killed, says Hapsburg Liebe of the Vigilantes. “You shouldn't have sent them all,” sald this neighbor. *“You should bave Kept two of those boys at home.” “If I had a dozen to send I would have sent them,” the little woman re- plied very readily, very calmly. “And I know that my men went down in their boots, doing dlstlnguished service You see, I know my men.” At the end of the war the youngest boy returned. He was a captain, and not a captain merely by courtesy. As he rode through the old plantation he saw to his intense surprise that it was in a fair state of cultivation and that foodstuffs had taken the place of cot- ton. He had expected to find those broad acres filled with weeds and bri- ars. As soon as he had proudly greet- ed his mother and been in turn proudly greeted by her, he spoke of this. “That was my part,” she told him. “You couldn’'t fight without having something to eat, could you?”’ It was then that he noted the marks of toil on her hands, and he knew that the faithful old negroes had not done all the hard work. He brought his heels together in the military fashion and 1ifted his hand to the rim of his hat. “Mother,” he said, not very steadily, wsalll” The ribbon fish derives its name from its shape.

London.—England is badly in need of green spring foods, and all kinds of suggestions huve been made, some of which have had disastFous results. One enterprising discoverer wrote to the newspapers the other day that rhubarb leaves, thoroughly boiled, made an ex- cellent substitute for spinach. A coroner’s inquest was held over the body of a man who sampled the sub- stitute. Another victim was a preacher, whose family is seriously ill. Similar cases are reported from all parts of the country. READJUSTS NOAH’S ARK. with her father. .
