SHERMAN.
Qrlm-visaKed as , the mountain's face,
when bared
Before the beeom of the storm, that
sweeps
The snarled and rugged forest growth,
thut dared ,
To rle among the rocks, where Nature
keeps
Her wildest wr.tch and ward. Yet, with
high heart
And kindly soul, amid war's fiercest
ways,
Great Sherman thou hast done a mighty
part, ;,
And won thy country's highest meed
Ot praise.
Tom Lansing and Lucie Bell loved
each other, but they had talked on
every other subject that they knew
anythlr.g about, and on many of
which they really knew nothing. Now
they vi ere strolling around the eques
trian statue of grand old "Teeumseh"
Sherman, in the moonlight of May..
Near them towered the granite facade
of the treasury, yonder twinkled the
lights of the White House,- and away
at the apex of a triangle, loomed in
half-light, a mighty giant in gray, the
monument to Washington. , Heavily
deep and dark was the' new spring
dress of the trees.
"Sit there," he said. For with his
handkerchief he had switched away
the dust from a block of stone where
stood, in real bronze,, one of the sol
diers that, at quadrangle corners,
guard the "Leader to the Sea."
As he seated himself beside her
he said: "I have written this and I
want you to tell me if it sounds like
poetry. I do not know if I can read
it by this light, but I will try."
The SCamn Vnnw U hv heart. "bn.
he read it as if it tried his eyes. It
was the verse that is printed above,
beginning:
"Grlm-visaged aa the mountain's
face." .
"It may be poetry,"' she said, "but
I should think that you might devote
your genius to something better than
apostrophizing that old invader who
left monuments to himself, more aw
fully eloquent than this, all through
dear old Georgia, in the chimneys of
burned homes. I would find a. better
theme if I were you."
: "That Is very well said, Lucie.
Now let me tell you a story," ,
. "Do." lMgi
; "Once upon a time"
"That's a good, original start."
"Shall I tell the story?"
"I'll not say another word." '
"Once upon a time, when a famous
warrior ' was leading his armies
through a beautiful land" '
'. "Why don't you say Sherman In
Georgia, at once?"
"Thought you promised not to "say
another word?"
, "Oh! I was only trying to help you
simplify matters." ,
, "All right. When Sherman was
leading his legions through Georgia "
"Following them, you mean."
"Following his legions through
Georgia, there was a handsome young
captain of one of his regiments "
"The story grows in interset."
"A handsome young captain of a
cavalry regiment had a remarkable
episode. A cavalry brigade had cap
ured the town of Roswell, on the
ChatahooQhee," at the extreme , left of
the army, and Roswell was simply a
town of cotton and woolen factories.

"After using Cuticura Soap, Oint

I am entirely relieved of that itching
humor of the head and scalp which I
was bothered with quite a length of
time. I did not use the Cuticura Rem

beean to get better, and now I am com-
k pletely well. I suffered with that humor
on my head, ana touna no reuei uum j.

I used several cakes of Cuticura Soap,
three boxes of Ointment, andtwo vials
of Pills. I am doing all I can to publish

others the same. With best wishes for

burnlng of the factories and they
were committed to the flames, .but
what disposition to make of the thou
sand or more pretty girls of the con
federate looms became a serious Ques
tion. Gallant old Teeumseh was equal
to the occasion, however. He ordered
a regiment of bold sabreurs to the
front and directed that each trooper
and officer should take a pretty maid,
upon an improvised pillion, behind
him on his steed. This was done and
the unique cavalcade proceeded from
Roswell to Marietta, the regimental
band playing the air of "The Olrl I
Left Behind Me," the refrain to which
.be troopers sang with the words:
'The girl I have behind ,me."
"So far from being terror-stricken
t'.ie girls were soon in a Jolly mood,
clung to their cavalier3 and were
laughing in great glee as the proces
sion entered Marietta, a lovely little
c!ty that nestles on the southward
slope of historic old Kenesaw moun
tain. "The girl that rode with her arms
about the waist of the handsome
young captain waa the prettiest one
of the thousand, and they- were near
ly all remarkable pretty southern girls
who were patriotically working to
clothe the soldiers of the south.
Moreover, she was of a good family
of Georgia and had held some sort
of official position in one of the fac
tories of Roswell. Besides, she had
relatives in Marietta who dwelt in an
Imposing mansion "amid a grove of
umbrageous trees, where rose vines
clambered about the galleries and over
trellises, here and there, on the gar
dened grounds." ,
"Of course. Don't you know I was
born in. Marietta?" questioned Lucie
Bell.
"Ye3, I know," returned Tom Lan
sing. "But this wns many years be
fore you were born. That was more
than 40 years ago and you are not half
that."
"Well, I should think not."
"All right. Now please let me fin
lsh thl3 story or, perhaps that is
enough."
"Go on, Tom Lansing. I'm wild
with curiosity."
"A young woman who stood at th
gate to the beautiful grounds I told
you of. watching with amuse! face tha
passing regiment of double riders,
when she saw the young captain and
his charge, rushed screaming b.tween
fright and Joy, toward then, snd then
something happened. . The captain's
horse, a fractious beast that had been
none too complacent all this time with
his added burden of girl and dimity,
plunged and reared, and the young
officer adroitly lifted the maiden to
the ground and to the arms of her
cousin, the young woman who had
come from the gate. But, other of the
horses taking, contagiously, the fright,
plunged against him, and rider and
horse fell among rough-shod hoofs.
"Quickly the spot was cleared, but
the young captain was taken up, un
conscious, and by direction of the two
girls was bonre to the grand house
among the trees and roses.
. "The young captain happened to be
known and loved by Gen, Sherman,
who sent bis own staff Burgeon to at
tend the Injured officer.
"There were days of anxiety for
those about the young captain. He
was long unconscious and then fol
lowed a fever. The left arm, with
which he had so gallantly saved the
girl from among the trampling horses,
was broken and cut, but youth and a
good constitution triumphed at last,
and shortly after Sherman had start
ed on his march to the sea, Capt. Tom
Lansing and Lucie Gill, his bride,
the girl he had brought from Ros
well behind him, and who had nursed
him through his fight with death,
had arijlved at Lansing's home, in au
tumn, on the shady banks of the
river Des Plaines, where often, in su
preme happiness they sat by the pools
that were quflted with the gold, and
green, and crlmson-hued leaves."
"Tom Lansing!", Lucie almost
screamed. "Why that's your name!
And Lucie Gill that's my name
Lucie Gill Bell. My father had a
cousin named Lucie Gill whom he
loved so much that he named me for
her, but he died when I was a baby
and of course never told me of her
history."
"She was my mother. I am the
only son and youngest of Ave chil
dren." . -
"Then you and I are kin."
"Yes, but very far removed, I am
thankful."
I "I don't see why you are so exult
ant about the distance of our relation
ship. I'm Just as good as you are,
Tom Lansing."
' "A thousand times better, little girl.
But r am glad we are not near of kin
because I want you to be my wife."
i "Lift me up," she said, "until I can
kiss the bronze Hps of that old in
vader." "Can't do that," he said, "but I will
be old Tecumseh's proxy for once."
; She clung even closer to him as they
strolled homeward, when the moon
had hid behind the hills over the Po
tomac, ; ' .
PHILOSOPHY OF DANCING.
Famous Men of Olden Times Who
i Indulged in Terpsichorean
Pleasure.
' Says a Paris correspondence of the
London Standard: As Mr. Squeers' was
."the right shop for morals," so It has
been found year after year that the
conference of the International Acad
emy of Composers of the Dance and
Dancing Masters is the right shop for
history and deportment, and more es
pecially for history. At the conference
which was held in Paris recently M.
Eugene Giraudet, the president of the
academy, traced the history of dancing
from early times. v
The hvmual danee was evidently in
vogue wnen tne Israelites crossea me
Red Sea. The farandole Is always
claimed by Provence, but It seems not?
that it Was invented by Theseus when
he came out of the Labyrinth, and that
it wa called the stork, because it iml
tatei) the flight of storks. Socrates
danced. Plate but I should like to
hear Dr. Emll Reich on this point and
Simonldes must have danced, accord
ing to our academician, because they
said such pleasant things about dan
cing. Loui3 XIV. was not only '.'Le Grand
Monarque," but also "un grand dan
seur," because he said; "He who
dances well makes a long step in love."
When Napoleon I. was a military Btu
dent at Brienne he demanded myre
money from his father for dancing les
sons, f.aying: "I do not know how to
dance, and that is very ridiculous."
"This remark," said M. Giraudet,
"proves that Napoleon was not want
ing in common sense."
Capt Cook turns out to have been an
early Capt. Reece (commander of the
Mantelpiece) when he insisted that his
sailors should dance every day. As to
the cscar, we were Informed that,
though he does not talk much, he has
uttere! this apothegm on dancing: "A
man Is perfect and complete only when
he knows how to conduct himself un
der all social conditions. A dancing
master and master of manners is,
therefore, indispensable."
Girls Are So Queer.
"When are you going to get mar
ried, Hilda?"
"Me? Why, what an absurd ques
tion! Haven't I always told you I
hate the very sight of men?"
"Yes, but I thought you were Jok
ing and "
"It is no Joking matter. I am a
bachelor girl and I am proud of it.
I wouldn't be wedded to the best man
on earth."
"How interesting! Do you remem
ber that handsome Jack Dashing?
Well, he told me he admired you more
than any girl under the sun and he
would like to make you his wife."
"And and what did you say?"
"Why, I told him you were a bach
elor girl, hated men and he might as
well leave town."
"What? How dare you interfere
with my love affairs? Why couldn't
you tell him to call around? I shall
never speak to you again as long I
Jive." Chicago Dally News.
