THE wFE'S ALLOWANCE.

Mrs. HARRISON thinks every woman
should be allowed some settled amount
for her household as well as her per.
sonal expenses.
Mns. SENATOR SPooxER doesn't be-
ieve in q regular allowance and dislikes
keeping accounts. She prefers to be al
lowed all the money she needs and no
questions asked.
Mrs. JUSTICE FIELD is positive in her
views that every woman should be al
lowed regular income, without which,
she asserts, there can be no real domes.
tic comfort.
MRS. .ATTORNEY-GENERAL MILLER con-
siders the question one Of vital impor-
tancc, and declares tha. more than half
of our unhappy marriages arc the direct
result Of this neglect.
Mrs. SENATOR MANDERsoS considers
that the Importance Of trusting q wife
with q regular sum, according to the
means of the individual, Is too obvious
to be considered for moment.
Mrs. SENATOR DoLPu thinks that the
wifc who receives o regulsr allowance
Is more economical, and that the hus-
band can better calculate his yearly ex-
penses, thereby benedtting both.
mo WOMAN should be compelled or
expected to ask her husband for every
cent she spends" declares Mrs. Robert
p. Portor, vito Of the census commits
sioner. 1T puts her In . false and
humiliating position"
"BY all MEANS" says Mrs. William
W. Morrow, vito Of Representative
Morrow, should women possess an
annual allowance. How can Q wife
keep things running smoothly unless
she knows just what she has to depend
upon?"

I'VE fastened the Tapping soles to our
boots, and taking advantage of the
daylight we made our way without an
iother dripping to the eastern edge of the
swamp. By moving constantly we kept
from freezing, and we wore alternately
the old overcoat Howard had brought
with him.
As soon As it was dark, We moved on
again, still keeping the north star TO
the left. About ten o'clock we saw
light ahead, and ON . nearer approach
discovered it to come from . cabin.
Howard, whose feet werc not 50 sore as
mine, left me standing near tumbled-
ldown fence, and coming back after .
flew minutes he said:
The only people in the house are an
iold black man and his wife. Come ON,
lold fellow"
took his arm, and we advanced bold
ily and into the cabin.

been uprooted by the wind. KeopiaR IN
the shadow Of the great mass Of earth
stin clinging to the roots. we made our
way to the tree.
''Stay here and I'll see If I can learn
Who they are, said Howard. and before
could stopaim he had left me.
He crept 4long the trunk, but he had
not gono far before stick broke under
him. Isaw the men seizing their rifles,
and heard the command: HALT! Who
goes there?"
"Don't fire; am Yankee. called
out Howard, IS he rose to his feet and
advanced towards the fire.
I'VE belong to the Twenty-First Vir-
ginia, and are out searching for you
fellows" This l heard in response to
Howard's question. My first impulse
was to run, but with q flush at the
meanness Of the thought of deserting
my gallant young friend, walked up
to the fire, and was greeted with cheer
and roar of laughter.
'I am sorry you didn't make it, gen.
tiemen, said Lieutenant Brown, the OIL
Ger in command of the post.
He made us sit by the fire and one of
his men brought US some bread and
bacon, but our appetites were gone.
During the hour preceding daylight
Howard Scott's pale face took on the
age OF many years, but the light in the
fine, brave eyes did not flicker for an in
slant.
With the first light Of day our guards
formed about us; we were faced towards
the west, and the return march to Libby
began. Now we realized, for the first
time, how cold and weak we were, and
how swollen and blistered were our feet
We climbed the slope from which We
had first seen the campfire, and on the
instant, with cries of surprise and alarm,
our guards broke away from us and fled
through the wood.
Forward Trot! Gallop! Charger Like
a bugIe blast we heard the familiar COM
mand in our front. Dazed and treInb-
ling we sought the shelter of a tree and
clung to each others hands.
We heard the quick pounding of hoofs,
the clinking of scabbards, the hoarse,
deep cheer that followed the order
'Charger' Thengleaming sabres flashed
before our eyes, and horsemen in blue
swarmed about us.
Friends! Friends! Thank Godv'
MY arms were about Howard's neck
and was kissing him and crying with
the weakness of an emotional woman,
for the terrible strain was over.
1t was General Butler who, hearing Of
the escape, had sent these men to our
rescue. 1t would take volume to re-
cord the kindness of our friends from
tho time of the rescue till we entered
Fortress Monroe and exchanged our
vermin-covered rags for decent gar
ments.
The day we reached Washington I
read the following dispatch in q morn

ident for ninety days, will be returned
tomorrow to Camp Dick Robinson,

Much of Howard Scott's bitterness
against Frank Brent remained, but he
was too manly to permit even q hated

At the close of 1890 a handsomely IL
lustrated and neatly printed set Of
pamphlets was issued, fully describind
the country from the Eastern portion ot
Manitoba to the Pacific Ocean. Thesi
have been carefully compiled by coms

amount of useful information put in

great number of letters from actual res

what has been done. Furnished with

well worth securing as books of refer

which he knew him to be innocent. He
did not require much urging to 60 with
me to General Holt. That gentleman
greeted US cordially, heard our plea for
Frank Brent, and at once took us to the
President and stated our case for US.
Unnecessary here to detail all that
was done that day, but it can best be
explained by the dispatch I sent to Car
rio and her mother at Nicholasville that
afternoon:
Howard Scott and are free. Heed
no alarming dispatches. The President
has ordered that all the criminal
charges against Frank Brent be re-
moved and his sentence set aside"
With our pay and thirty days leave Of
absence for each, Howard and I started
for Kentucky, doing full justice to
every meal on the way. We parted At
Lexington and l went directly home.
After greeting my happy parents. hur-
ried over to the Widow Brent's, where
my reception filled to overhowing the
cup of my joy.
The next day Carrie and drove to
Camp Dick Robinson, where We found
Frank in his old quarters. Poor fellow,
he coughed necessarily and he was

Finding him in the mood to accept
advice, spoke Of his illness and tho Of
feet good nursing at homo would have

sented to take the oath Of allegiance.
He was taken home, but within the
year he was sleeping IN the old cemetery
beside his father.

coMMoN-sENsE FARM ITEMS.

THE market for tho finest products
are seldom if ever glutted.
BRAINS on the farm are more valuable
than capital. Farming really combines
several occupations, and there Il always
something to learn.
TIE wide-awakc farmer visits other
farms than his own. When he finds
convenionces, methods and crops better
than at home it inspires him to greater
effort.
EVERY farm should be an experiment
station, with plots for making expert
ments. Tho humblcst farmer is capable
of discovering something that may be
of advantage.
A TUMBLE-DowN building should be
torn down and converted into fire-wood
rather than to allow it to disfgure the
farm. A single rickety out building,
worth not over ten dollars, will injuro
the sale of farm ten times its value.
THR farmer who carefully saves all
the manure, and uses every endeavor
to preserve II, il tho one who also uses
fertilizers. Such q farmer Is never
over-supplied with tho materials ciiat
are necessary to increase the fertility Of
his soil.
A HARaRR should tal<o caro TO keep
easy and safe ways Of ingress and
egress to his cultivated folds. More
wagons arc broken down by going
through deep burrows or over ridges
than BY twice the travel on smooth
highways.
The successful farmer is ono who
keeps his eyes open. his farm clean, and
his stock in good oondition-who makes
money. And, it might be well to add.
who uses his means for tho advance
mcnt, morally and intellectually, Of his
family and the community.
IT is o curious reflection on the intel
iRence Of mankind that while animals
easily learn our language, we mako no
advance at all in learning theirs Ono
can not help hoping that some future
generation of men may be sufficiently
Kind and patient to believe that what
these dependent creatures have to say
to MS may sometimes be as important a.
what we have to say to them.
IT is believed that there Is no reason
why African elephants should not be

of Africa nowhere care for capturing
