cabinet ministers often stand with the presi-

How Young Lady Saved Soldiers
Life and Won "a Loving Husband.
Congress Stone, of Kentucky, who
walks about the house and up AMI down the
avenues on Crut hes having lost a leg in
the Confederate service-is expecting his
wife to arrive here shortly from her Ken
tu ky home. The story of Stones mar
rlage Is strange AMI interesting
one and proves again that there
are as interesting incidents in real life as
are told i'll story books Stone
was a Confederate soldier, and at a battle in
CynthIana, kentucky. was badly wounded
As he fell his hat went one way and his
musket another and he found himself unable
to move To regain either. 1t was a soorch-
ing summer day, and he was obliged to lie
on that hot hillside exposed to tue intense
heat Of the blazing sun, unable even 10 pro
tect his face except by throwing his arm
across his eyes His life blood was rapidly
running away. and he became weaker and
weaker, and soon was unable to speak or
move The bla Ing sun which fell on his
head and face was lding untold suffering,
in his enfeebled condition.
After the fight he was left with the dead
and dying, for 1t was supposed he could not
live for more than q few minutes or hours
Alter the troops had withdrawn, some of
the PEOPLE living in the vicinity OF the bat
tleiie.d passed ov,r it, relieving tine necessi-
ties of the wo Indei so far As 20 sible As
they passed nea. where Stone lay suffering
in thr hot sun, unable TO speak, young
lady in the party noticed him and the suf
erings the sun mnSt pro luce if he We're still
conscious Telling her companions she be-
lieved he was still alive, she procured the
ramrois is from four muskets laying near by,
and sticking them in the ground near hi=
head, fastened over the to- scarf from heI
shoulders, to break the rays Of the sun
When the wounded were gathered froIa
the lied it was found that Stone was still
living, and he was sent to the hospital
There was long struggle between life and
death, but he finally rallied and slowly re-
gained strength. after thr amIutatIOn of his
right leg The residents of the town and
vicinity did all they could for the sufferers
in the hospital, senIing them food and deli
cacles and often visiting them One day,
after he had gained sufficient strength TO
spesl and notice those who visited the
hosp tai he saw among the visitors the
youn- lady who had probably saved his
life by her kindness when he lay helpless and
speechleSS on the battlefield When oppor-
tunity offered, he spoke TO her of the occur
renee and thanked her for her kindness.

love, and she is now his wife.-W ashington

Some TIM er cutters display marvellous
skill in the art of ConceaIing natural defects
in timber. Rotten buts, tops, and knots
are frequently plugg d, and where the work
is skilfuly done the inspector will have to
be wide awake or he will not dis, over them
While crossing the river on his return to
the up, Ountry the other day an old and
well known timber cutter said: In a raft
of forty five pieces Of timber which
brought down to Darien today l had
plugged five rotten knots, and not a single
one did the inspector discover. 1t has taken
many years to lind out how to plug Il hol
low knot 50 as to make it appear perfectly
very clumsiy and in order to cover up
their want Of skill they bespear the knot
with gum, dirt, etc This, however, olly
tends to arouse the Inspector suspicion.
Noatness alone will do the work well and
srcc, ,ssfully.
-Of course, this kind of work may be con
bidered dishonest, bu. any one who feels
awfully shocked about it would probably
change his mind if, after wasting many an
hours hard toll on large tree, ne were to
dis over IA slight defect which would make
it bring one third of its value in the market
| admit that it is wrong TO make practice
of Concealing defects. and | think / am As
honest as the mtjority of people; but, gen
tlemtn. there Is no use in talking-the
temptation TO plug is sometimes too great to
resist. and it take a genuine timber cutter
to realize this full Y. To plug in bungling
manner may Il. vice, but when you do II
neatly you can't help feeling as if it were
more OF a virtue Atlanta Constitution.

Scarlet Globe Radish, Vick's Ideal
Dwarf Caulifower, Vick's King of

for the Radish is that of the earli-
est and best variety for forcing, of
handsome color, mild favor. crisp
and juicy, excellent also tor garden
culture. The introducers are con-
fident the Caulif]ower will prove
superior to any other, and the
claim is based on the following
distinct points: Extreme earli-
ness in heading, produces larger
and more solid heads, will stand
longer without breaking, and, most
important OF all, the protecting
habit of growth of the inner leaves,
which, growing toward the center,
completely shelter the head from
the rays of the sun. For the King
of the Dwarfs Pea, the claim is
made that it will fill a place not
occupied by any other dwarf. The
vines are sturdy and remarkably
vigorous, bearing d profusion of
pods, which are closely packed with
large peas, while in flavor it is un.
surpassed. Send to James Wick,
