BOY ESCAPED REBEL PRISON
Irishman In Charge of Cooking De
partment Aids Youth to Pass as
Drummer Boy Lied Decently.
My experience has been that under
certain clrcumstnuccB In the army a
llttlo decent lying la n mighty con
venient and Rood thing, und the follow
ing Incident shown how 1 mado good
uee of that Idea:
I ns a member of the Fifty-first
Pennsylvania regiment at that time,
August, 1864, commanded by Col. Wil
liam 1. llolton of Norrlstown, our old
colonel, J, F. llurtrantf, having been
mado brigadier general, writes Thorn
an J. Dunbar In an exchange. On tho
19th of that month, In the battle of
Weldon Railroad, I was tnken prison
er and marched to Petersburg, and
was taken to Richmond on tho cars
and lodged In Llbby prison. Thorp I
was searched and robbed, as all my
comrades were, except in a few In
stances, tho fortunate ones preserving
their money by stratagem. One of
my comrades, "Pcty" Jardlno of Nor
rlstown, had a fifty-dollar bill, which
he iuclosod tightly in a piece of tin
foil, surrounded tho foil with tobacco,
and exactly at tho time of his
search slipped It In his mouth, chewed
away, and thus preserved his green
back. After wo wore relieved of what
wo had wo were sent to Hello Island,
and there I met a friend belonging to
the Fortieth Now York, a llttlo Irish
man, who bad chargo of the cooking
department. Ho told me that If I
would follow his advice he would get
mo in his gang of about fifteen men;
by that means I could escape being
ent to Saulsbury prison, to which
point the men then there, berwMR
seven and eight thousand, were des
tined. 1 was about the same size then
as now, which was not much to brag of,
but was young and boyish looking, in
fact, I was the youngest member of the
regiment, just seventeen. He told me
tosay at the proper time that I was a
drummer boy, and had been captured
In that capacity, and shortly afterward
he brought Lieutenant Holsseu, com
mander of tho lBland, and we talked
through the fenco to tho following
effect:
Ho asked roe If I was a drummer boy.
-to which I replied "yes;" ho then
iwanted to know how I was taken pris
oner. I told htm I had been detailed
to carry wounded men and ammunition,
and whllo so engaged was captured.
Ho then took mo to his tent, and hand
ed mo a drum and told me to smack
away at it I told him I couldn't do It
At that he opened his eyes and wanted
to know how It was. I Informed him
that I had only been detailed a few
days beforo tho battle, because I was
too small to carry a gun, and didn't
have time to learn to play It. He
took It all In, administered the parole
d'honneur, and I went to work as
cook, seeing the boys leave for Sauls
bury, poor fellows, thousands of them
never to return.
The lieutenant said If I would do
the square thing ho would treat me
well, aud when tho first parolo or ex
change was effected. I should be
among the fortunate number. He
kept his word, and ono night about
twelve o'clock came running to our
quarters In his night clothes, and In
formed ub that there was to be an
exchange tho next day. That morn
Ing ho took us to prlvato quarters In
Richmond, went with us to the boat,
and bade us good-by, stating that as
he was going to the front soon he
hoped to meet us there, and If he did
that tho fooling of friendship might be
continued.
PRYOR'S ONE AWFUL MISTAKE
Helped Himself to What He Thought
Was Brandy, But Which Proved ,
to Be Iodide of Potassium.
During the attack on Fort Sumter
tn 1861, Roger A. Pryor of Virginia,
ex-member of congress, was one of
the second deputation that waited up
on MaJ. AnderBon. He was literally
dressed to kill. Bristling with bowle
knives and revolvers, like a walking
arsenal, he appeared to think himself
Individually capable of capturing the
fort Inside the fort he seemed to
think himself master, and, In keeping
with this pretension, upon seeing
what appeared to be a glass of
brandy, drank It without ceremony.
8urgeon (afterward General) Craw
ford, who had witnessed tho act, ap
proached him and said:
"Sir, what you havo drunk is poi
son it was Iodide of potassium."
Tho representative of chivalry in
stantly collapsed; bowle knives, re
volvers and all. Surgeon Crawford im
mediately took him In hand, and after
sovcral hours' hard work brought him
around all right. Pryor left Fort Sum
ter a "wiser If not a better man."
Broadbrim's Method.
A secession minister cornea Into the
atore kept by a Quaker, and talks loud
ly against tho country, until Broad
brim tells hi in ho must stop or leavo
tho store Tho clerical brawler keeps
on, till tho Quaker tells him ho will
put him out of the fitoro If hn does
not go out. "What," exclaimed tho
minister. "I thought you Quakers did
not fight." "Tho sanctified do not
fight, but I havo not been sanctified
yet; and I will put thou out of tho
storo in a minute!" Tho minister fled
(from the wicked Quaker.

GRACEFUL enveloping coats or fig
ured and brocaded fabrics, espe
cially thoso of satin, aro luxurious
beyond all other garments except
those of rich fur. In these figured
satin coats the design breaks up and
enhances the sheen of surfaces. Tholr
high luster forms a playmate for
color and light and tho three danco
together upon them.
If ono is looking for the luxurious,
It is to be found in thoso garments.
In tho new, and what nro termed
"fancy," colors theso coats aro only
suited to high occasions. Oftencr
they are developed in gray, or taupe,
or In somo rich brown shade and are
mora generally useful. Perhaps gray
Is the happiest choice of color for
them; it Is at homo ovcry whore and
It is very elegant and by comparison
quiet Tho figured satin coat does
not poso as quiet, however it 1b a
showy garment. s
Linings are In contrasting colors,
but they must be chosen carefully.
Nothing conspicuous will do for them.
For trimming, fur and marabout
come into uso. Roth these, this sea
son, are dyed into all sorts of colors.
They are, after all, best In natural
colors and In black and whlto.
PRETTY TURBAN
SUITABLE FOR
YOUTHFUL FACE
DESIGNED for the daughter In
mourning, or for other youthful
faces, this simple turban Is a splendid
example of fitness In millinery.
Mourning silk that 1b, silk In a
special weave having a rich but dull
surface makes the band about the
head. It is laid In a triple fold over
a support of buckramette. The baret
ta crown 1b not so easy to manage as
one might Imagine. First a support

sewed to the brim support. Over this
a thin silk Is placed, cut and shaped
to follow the crinoline, exactly.
On the foundation band of buckram

a bias fold of crapo is atrotched. At

Is placed and over thlB tho triplo fold

Drown fox, martin, skunk and fitch
aro among the most fashionable furs
and favorites as a finish on satin
coats. Marabout, next to fur (In the
natural color), looks well on them.
Tho coat of figured satin looks luxu
rious and comfortable and when made
right, ita performance is up to its appearand-.
It is expensive, but It ex
cuses this characteristic by unusual
beauty.
Similar coats of figured crepo cost
less, but cannot bo classed as Inex
pensive. Mattelnsse makes a beauti
ful coat much like its prototype In
satin.
In spite of the vogue for shorter
coats than those worn last winter,
there are plenty of examples of long
roats In satin and In fur. Robert, of
Paris, shows a model In sealskin
trimmed with martin, much longer
than tho coat pictured hero. Max
shows one In molpskln trimmed with
pure ermine considerably shorter. So
the matter of length need not deter
ono from choosing a coat longer than
those popularly worn and by this
means achieving long, gracoful lines
and the utmost of the suggestion of
comfort and elegance.

Tho extra fulness of crape Is laid
in irregular folds at any placo on tho

dispose of It. This dopends upon tho
