How stonswall jackson Died.

Historians always stop to describe
the dying OF Wolfe and Montcalm, the
two opposing commanders In the bat
tie OF Quebec. But their deaths were
simply heroic compared with the
Christian death OF Stonewall jackson.
About 1:30 on the day OF his death
he was told that he had about two
hours to live, and he answered feebly
but firmly: VERY good; 1t is all
right"
A few moments before he died he
cried out In his delirium: Order A.
P. Hill to prepare for action. Pass
the infantry to the front rapidly. Tell
Major Hawks then stopped, leav-
ing the sentence unfinished.
Presently smile OF ineffable sweet
ness spread itself over his pale face
and then he said quietly and with an
expression Of relief; ''Iset us cross
over the river aud rest under the
shade OF the trees" And then. with
out pain or the least struggle, his
spirit passed. Philadelphia Prssa

good health.
II sheep are fed on the ground they
will run over and trample down more
or less OF their feed, and then will re.
fuse to eat 1t.
In all feeding 1t Is the food that Is
digested that affords the nutrimcnt'
and not the amount OF food that IL
taken into the stomach.
BY feeding bran and oil meal to
stock on the farm the objection to SELL
ing grain Is partly overcome, as both
these materials return to the soil al
most their full value as fertilizers.
In marketing poultry quality Is
quite an item. and the highest prices
ut any season can only be realized by
taking the necessary pains both in
feeding and preparing for market, to
have them Of the best quality.
The Question Of profit and economy
in the production OF beef cattle is one
that every farmer should study. They
must be made ready for market at as
low cost as possible. without lower
ing the quality Of the product

Married six Times.

Ten years ago the little tavern at
Der region in Pennsylvania was kept
by an odd character. Elias Benton.
He had very pretty daughter named
Betty. She was sixteen years old, aud
Edward Shot, young and well-to-do,
was in love with her. Betty wanted
to marry Shott, but the father had
other plans. He chose for her hus-
band man three times her age, who
owned large pine tract, valuable
property that Landlord Benton was
anxious to possess. He compelled his
daughter to marry this man, Aulds by
name. He lived only six months, and
left his young widow the pine land.
which her father sold and appropriated
the proceeds to his own use.
Young Shot in the meantime had
gone away. One year after the death
of her husband, Mrs. Aulds married.
to spite her father, John Grover, u
sawyer. He was killed in his employers
mills one month later.
The landlords daughter was now
twice widow, although she was not
yet eighteen years old. Two months
after her second husbands death Ed
ward Shott returned, and on her eigh-
teenth birthday young Widow Grover
married her old-time lover. The
couple lived happily for year, and
one child was born. The child was
not two weeks old when the father was
crushed to death by falling tree.
The landlords daughter mourned her
third husband sincerely for two years.
About this time her father died.
At the age Of twenty-oue she made
what was regarded as a most fortu-
nate marriage, her fourth husband
being Elmer James, young lawyer.
James turned out to be drunkard.
He abused his wife and her child so
shamefully that she had no difficulty
in obtaining divorce.
She remaincc single then until she
was twenty-three, when she married
George Rhone. widower OF fifty.
Before they were married q year
Rhone dad of the smallpox. His
