THE GATE CITY
SATURDAY. DEC. -.
re Cseksng wagon.


Some Of the newspaper have mention
ed new cooking wagon, presented oy
the inventor to tho Christian Commits
sion, which is thoroughly ssi gensras. II
il constructed somewhat like battery
caisson, SO that the parts can be unlimber-
ed and separated from each other. The
climber or forward part, bears large
chest, which is divided into compart.
ments, to contain coffee. tea, sugar, and
corn starch, with place also for two
aridirons and an axe. From the rear por-
ton rise three tall smoke-pipes, above
three large boilers, under which there IS q
place for the FIRE. and under the fire box
for the fuel. Each boiler will hold tour
teen gallons; and it is estimated that IN
each one, on the march, ten gallons 81 tea
or coffee or chocolate, could be made In
twenty minutes-tbus giving ninety gal
Ions OF nourishing drink every hour. II
is truly most ingenious and beneheent
invention.
There was call for coffee A party OF
delegates at once volunteered to respond
IN the call. The fires we're lighted, the
water boiled, the coffee made, and soon
the vehicle. drawn bytwopowerful horses
and attended by half score Of willing
laborers, was on its way from division to
division Up the hospital avenue 1t rum
bled and rolled, passed the long rows OF
white tents, stopping at this cluster and
that, giving to all from its generous sup.
ply.
You should have seen the wondering
look of the men as we passed by. They
rolled themselves over to get a glimpse Of
it. They stretched their necks for sight
at it, The wounded heads forgot to ache
and the wounded limbs almost forgot to
cry for nursing in that moment OF cage
curiosity Was it new sort OF ambu-
lance? It didn't look like one. What
did those three black pipes mean, aue
those three glowing fires Is it a steam
fire. engine, ans are they going to give Vi
a shower bath But the savory odor thu
saluted their nostrils, and the delicious
beverage the engine poured into their til
cups. soon put the matter beyond al
doubt. They soon foond that there we
no necromancy about II, Tor 1t had sub
stantial blessing for each one Of them, ant
they gave it their blessings in return
One by one, such as were able, crowde
about il with curious faces. and the wagon
as it stood steaming and glowing in tn
midst, was the theme of many affectionat
comments.
II say, Bill, amt that bully ma
chine2'
''Yes. sir. it's the greatest institution

"That's what you might call the Chris
tian Light Artillery" says third.
oGood deal pleasanter ammunition i
it than the Rebs sent US this morning
"Well. Doctor" said delegate to
surgeon, s.what DO you think of this 70
Il thank the Lord for it. That's all
can say" was the reply.
And so, on a sudden, the new inycn

4 Woman in Horrible Siuation.-
Mrs Williams Evans. Of Mercer county,
C. W, woman of Sc, has had difficulty
in her stomach for several years. Lately
physicians have decided that the trouble
is occasioned by a 1--we and growing snake
il the stomach. 1t has now grown 60
large that it distends the stomach so as Ia
produce bunch upon the outside AS large
a. a quar-. bowl Upon pressing the bunch
with the hand the reptile recoils and pro-
dnces great distress in the stomach
When fish or meat is being cooked in the
room. II the snake is not satisfied with
food, it rises Up in the throat, producing
strangnla,ion. When desiring food, it
manittsts it by rising up in TIE throat.
Physicians see no way in which this snake
can be removed without certain death to
the woman.
