ute PARTICLES, that combine TO founder
the adventurous bark; and again Il is
the single rock against which the voy-
ager is dashed with sudden tempest.
A young couple who had rented a coy
fat and were making their first essay at
housekeeping, found it impossible,
they said, to make both ends meet. A
wise friend bade them put down for two
or three weeks every cent of their dis
bursements, even where the money
went for postage stamp or q ferry
ticket, and to bring him the list at the
end of that time. He heard nothing
from them for o month, and went to see
them. The man and his wife both
laughed as he brought up the subject.
and said frankly that the expense book
was an unexpected revelation. They
found that more than half the amount
OF their earnings had been spent for
things that might Just as we'll have been

savings.
Inc Bredt Dane OF tue poor, Dy Wnlc0
We mean those who live from hand to
mouth, is their want of resolute self,
denial in the use of their daily or
weekly earnings. And this runs all the
way up to the man of business, who
wastes his thousands year through
self indulgence on the part of himself
or his household, and finally goes
down in credit and pocket for want Of
the capital which might have been
gathered in the exercise of a proper
self-restraint. Young clerks, whose
salaries have been deemed by them to
be insufficient for their decent support,
would find a surplus left, if they would
practice little self denial, and would
soon be able to lay by something, how
ever small, of stipend that seemed so
inadequate. If every person who has
failed to accumulate any savings from
his annual income would put down on
paper an accurate account of his dis
bursements, he would soon find where
little iudicious self denial would en-
able him to begin the long
fund for wet and wintry day.-New

THE KITCHEN.
Cake Baking.


1t has become the custom of late to
bake almost all cake in layer, and the
delicious loaf cake of our childhood has
almost entirely disappeared. 1t takes
less time and thought to make a layer
cake, and there is danger that genuine
loaf cake making will become lost art.
Young cooks are found wondering how
it is possible to give to cake the tender
ness and lightness it used to have be-
fore the days of baking powders. Some
experiments was recently made, and it
was shown conclusively that stirring
and beating are more to be depended on
for producing ne-grained and delicate
cake than any quantity of butter, or
eggs, or powder. A cake was made in
this way: One cup of sugar and Ia half
cup of butter We're stirred together until
light and creamy; one fresh egg was
then broken and put in without beating.
The three ingredients were then rapidly
beaten for four minutes, teacupful Of
sweet milk was added, with favoring to
the taste; nearly two cups of sifted -four
were then put in, and one heaping tea
spoonful of baking powder. These
were all beaten together for five min
utes. The dough was baked in but
tered tin, in one small loaf; the oven
was hot, and in little over half an
hour, with steady heat, the cake was
done. When it was cold it was cut in
square pieces; it was lemon yellow in
color, with golden-brown crust, and it
was then submitted to committee who
did not know of what it was made, nor
the process of making, and it was pro-
nounced delicious and of exquisite
quality. There is one thing about cake
making that is not generally known. A
quantity of -four is given in receipt,
and you follow the receipt closely, and
the result is not what you expected, for
the reason that there is vast difference
in -four. Some kinds of -four seem to
possess almosta fourth more thickening
power than other kinds, and it is a wise
precaution to bake a spoonful Of dough
before you bake the cake, as you can
then add more -four if it is necessary, or
can thin the dough with little milk if
that is needed

ing out and sinking away into the
black soil of the forest. As my hand
touched his he grasped it and said:
@We were enemies. Let us be
friends. Give me water"
held my canteen to his lips until
his thirst was satisfied, and then sat
beside him and held his hand and
watched the shadow of death coming
nearer. He lay with his eyes closed
for long time, and at last whispered /:
"Ten Mary and the children 1 am
coming!"
My heart smote me as / thought of
the wife and children who would never
see him again-of the black pail of sor-
row which would settle down over a
happy household.
"And tell father and motherp he
gasped. "Haye them all come to the
old home to meet me-"
And there was father, and O
mother, and brothers and sisters
And my bullet would bring tears and
sobs and walls and mourning. And
the sunshine of life would 60 out of
many hearts for months and years
perhaps forever. I prayed him over
and over to forgive me, and as death
came nearer 1 dared not look away
from his pale face for fear that /
should meet the accusing glances of
widow and orphans through the drift
ing smoke of battle. AS death finally
came he clutched my hand with firmer
grip, looked into my eyes with a last
effort and family whispered:
at is war, horrible war! Let us be
friendsl God bless Mary and the
childrenl"

heard of Lees surrender and didn't
want to fight, but the Union troops ad-
vanced on him and he attacked and
routed them" He took some prisoners,
but treated them rather as guests than
captives. A few days afterward he
recognized the situation in this order:
Soldiers, the war is over. Go home
and try to make as good citizens as
you have soldiers, and do more. I
hope that the result will prove that
our enemy was right and we were
wrong"

to the popularity of the last sentence,

ticed Federal sergeant of my own
rank displaying the utmost energy in
rallying the men around him to check
us. Some of our men noticed him as
we'll, and two or three called out that
he looked near enough like me to be
brother. By his own individual efforts
he rallied enough men to check us
temporarily, but after few minutes
we drove them again and we're in the
Federal camps. Then our lines broke,
and each man fought for himself. 1
had singled out the sergeant and fired
twice at him, and it was fact that he
had also singled me out and fired at
me alone. We kept advancing slowly,
and by and by, as we crowded them
from their shelters, I got fair view of
the sergeant. For moment L forgot
that there was any one else in all that
battle. I had raised my gun when he
wheeled and raised his, and we both
fired together. I went down like a
log, having received his bullet in the
right shoulder, and for two hours I
hugged the earth beside log to escape
being hit again by the missiles of friend
or foe.
When the fury of battle had passed

cation was strange to me, and / did
not know whether we were still ad-
vaneing or in retreat, / could not make
my way off the field. I could not tell
front from rear, nor was there one
chance in ten Of finding a field hos
pital. After pulling myself up, and
holding to tree for a few minutes I
felt better, and advanced to the spot
where I had last seen the Federal
sergeant. I found him lying on his
back. My bullet had struck him in
the side, and he was fatally hit. AS I
knelt down beside him he recognized
me and said:
"You have given me my death
wound"
But you sought to kill me-" I pro-
tested, in extenuation.
"Yes, I fred at you. Some of the
men said you looked like me, and I felt

THE FARM
Products Of MlId Land.

Products Of Wild Land.
Uncultivated land is not wholly un-
productive. In some places people
make more ready money in an easier
way by harvesting and selling wild
berries than they can by the poor farm
ing methods they give to their partly ex-
hausted cultivated land. Yet where wild
berries are proftsbly grown, cultivated
berries of the same varieties will be still
more productive, and pay even better
If properly managed. A farmer ought
to be ashamed to let natures unassisted
methods excel his best efforts.-ES-

(Danville) and enlisted at Catlin, Yer
million County, April 1, 1862 being at
the time of the date of his enlistment
13 years II months ana 7 days old.
He enlisted in Company 1 of the we'll
known Thirty-ffth Illinois Regiment
of Volunteers, regiment that made o
record for its hard fighting and service
during the war. This regiment was
commanded during its term of service
by Lieut.. Colonel William P. Chandler,
now living at Danville, ILL.,, who, with
his own hands, at the head of his regi-
ment, planted the Union colors on
Missionary Ridge, at that famous
charge. The same year Mr.. Wynn
enlisted he was severely wounded and
taken prisoner at the battle of Stone
River, Tenn, and engaged in all the
subsequent battles of his regiment ex-
cept that of Chickamauga, which he
did not take part in on account of his
wound and capture at Stone River.
He served in the ranks, carrying his
gun during his term of three years
service, except about month that he
was detailed on special service as
courier for General Jeff G. Davis.
After the war Mr.. Wynn attended
school at the State University at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, and in 1870 settled
at Hamburg, Iowa, where he practiced
his profession of law until 1881, when
he moved to Sioux Falls, Oak. He is
senior member of the legal firm of
Wynn & Young. Mr.. Wynn is a
Democrat in politics, and was the
nominee of his party at the last election
for the Office of Circuit Judge. He
never applied to the Government for
pension, and is a cousin of Mrs. Grover
Cleveland.
