Page Was Too Busy.
At one of Empress Catherine’s pri

walking about from card table to card
table looking at the players, she sud
denly rang the bell for her page, but
he did not come; she looked agitated
-and impatlent, and rang agalin, but still
DO page appeared. At length she left
the room, and did not again return;
and all the players wondered what the
fate of the paor page might be. Short-
Iy after, however, someone, having oc
casion to go into the antechamber of
the pages, found a party of them at
cards, and the empress seated at the
table playing with them,
She had found that the page she
rang for wag so interested in &e game,
that he could not leave it to attend to
her summons; so she had quietly tak
en his hand for him, to play it out,

Incident That Is Typical of the Devo
tion Fleld Marshal Blucher In
spired Among Men Who Fol
lowed Him to Victory.
Old Field Marshal Blucher was par
ticularly fond of three things—a glass
of wine, a game of cards and a pipe of
tobacco. With the two former he was
frequently obliged to dispense, but he
could not and would not do without
the latter, nor could he help indulg-
Ing in smoking if it were ever so lit
tle, before he undertook anything seri
ous. A few puffs at the spur of the
moment would satisfy him, but to do
without them at all was a matter of
impossibility. For this purpose he
had appointed as his pipebearer one
of his “boys” (as he used to ecall his
hussars a fellow countryman from 80-‘
stock—Christian Hennemann — who
had charge of a large box of common
long Dutch clay pipes, all filled with
tobacco and ready for use at a mo
uient’s notice. This box constituted
the principal item of the marshal’s
fleld equipage. Hennemann was 8o de
voted to his master and his charge
that he would have killed on the spot
anyone who attempted to purloin a
pipe from the box or bring the latter
in danger of breaking some of the
precious (to him sacred) contents.
On the morning of the memorable
battle of Waterloo Hennemann had
just handed his master a lighted pipe,
When a cannon ball struck the ground
close by, scattering earth and gravel
in all directions and causing the white
charger on which Blucher was mount
ed to spring aside—a maneuver that
broke the pipe into a thousand pieces
before the owner had time even to lift
it to his lips.
“Just keep a lighted pipe ready for
- mme; I shall be back in a few moments,
after I have driven away the rascally
French churls.” With these words,
Blucher gave the command, “Forward,
boys!” and off he galloped with his
cavalry. Instead, however, of a chase
of a few minutes, it was a rapid march
of nearly a whole hot summer day, as
we all know from history.
After the battle was over Blucher
rode back with Wellington to the place
where he first got a glimpse of the
combating armies, and nearing the
spot where Blucher had halted in the
morning they saw to their surprise a
solitary man, his head tied with a
handkerchief, one arm in a sling and
calmly smoking a pipe.
“Donner and blitz!” cried Blucher;
“why, that 18 my Hennemann. How
You look, boyj; what are you doing
here alone?”
“Waiting for your speedy return,”
was the grumbling answer. “You have
come at last! I have waited for you
here, pipe in mouth, for the whole
long day. This is the last pipe in the
box. The cursed French have shot
away every pipe from my mouth.
Have ripped the flesh from my head
and shattered my arm with their
deuced bullets. It is well there {8 an
end to the battle, or you would have
been too late even for the last pipe.”
Saying which, he handed to Blucher
the pipe, to enjoy the remaining fumes
of the weed.
Wellington, who had listened atten
tively to the conversation, here re
marked to Blucher: “You have just
admired the unflinching loyalty and
bravery of my Highlanders; what
shall I say to thls true and devoted
goul?” ‘
“But your Highlanders had no pipes !

‘““AN EAR OF CORN.”
The following clipping from the
Dallas News was enclosed in a letter to
Mr. S. C. McEachern from Mr. R. P.
McElwreath of Arlington, Tex.. sever
al weeks ago. Although the incident
recounted occurred in May it is still of
interest to many in this section:
‘“At the regular meeting of United
Confederate Veterans’ Camp 1251, Ar
lington, Tex., May 18, an unusual inci
dent occurred. When Commander Col
lins called for new business, R. P. Mc-
Elwreath took the floor, laid an ear of
corn’ on the table and said in substance:
‘I wish to present this ear of corn to
the Camp. It was sent to me by my
brotfer-in-law, Samuel McEachern, of
Marietta, Ga. It is said to be a new
variety of Georgia corn, and Jto have
made sixty bushels per acre last year.
But it is neither its productiveness nor
variety that commends it to me, but
the fact that it grew on and along the
line of breastworks on the South slope
of Kenesaw Mountain, where in May,
1864, the battle of Kenesaw Mountain
was fought, in which the speaker was
engaged, and that the ground upon
‘which it grew was baptised in the blood
of Southern heroes and fertilized with
‘the dead bodies of our fallen comrades.’’
Judge Mcßride for the Camp received
the ear of corn and made a very touch
ing, and fine speech. Commander Col
lins passed the ear of corn to each
member, each one took a few grains to
plant. We christened it the “Kenne
saw.”’
Our camp has on roll about thirty
members: their ages run from 65 to 87,
These are the men that won honor for
the old, and gave prestige to the new
South, Among them is the name of
one doctor, one bank president, one
ex-State Senator, one ex-Legislator,
two ““Old-Time Religion’’ preachers.
Any comrade who was with Johnson
at Kenesaw, and wants it, can get a
few grains of our Kenesaw corn by
sending a self-addressed, stamped
envelope to R. P. McElwreath, Arling
ton, Tex.
