we had picked up on the march. He

an immense dog of Danish breed, and
the two were inseparable While the
men would be playing cards around the
fire Bran would sit looking on with his
great, wise face.
During the battle of Shiloh, Harding
was severely wounded and left behind
by the troops. His dog had become
separated from him in the rush of the
men. and ne had spent a fearful night
on the ground. suffering from cold and
thirst. In the morning we noticed the
dog running around and whining pitt
fully he having noticed the absence OF
his master. At last he ran off. After
searching some three hours among the
dead and wounded, he found his master
in the corner of broken down fence.
He was out of his head and was talk

Then he changed his cry to Water!

dead soldier near by, he literally tore
the coat off his back looking for the

pocket, he got it and ran back to his
master. Placing it in his hand he sat
down beside him as though satisfied
We gave him a drink and then car
ried him to camp in our arms. He lost
consciousness on the way, and died
soon after.-N. y. Recorder.

HE WANTED TO DIE RICH.
An Amusing Incident of the Battle of
Nicksburg.

An Amusing Incident of the Battle of
Nicksburg.
Our forces were arranged before
Vicksburg and we were waiting for the
turn of affairs which was imminent
when we sent old Uncle Nose Larkins,
our cook, out to forage for prov isions.
AS all is fair in love and war, we did
not question his right to some fat
chickens, but when a lady came in
the next day and accused our cook
of stealing her silver, that was another
affair We called Uncle Nose and be-
gan to question him.
Fore God, gemm'n, I amt seen no
SIGH things" he affirmed
We knew he was lying, and told him
we would string him up if he did not
return the silver, but as this had no
effect upon him we procured ,ope, nut
it around the old rascal's neck and told
him if he had any thing to say, to say
it at once, as he had only five minutes
to live.
Il done kno' ennything of dat wom-
ans silver spoons" he reiterated, sol

hang old Uncle Nose suah enuff, but
dat he died rich; yo heah, chillun, he

This being equal to a confession, the
old man was let off, but we all thought
he would nave preferred to die rather
than restore the spoons he was compell-
ed to give up.-Detroit Free Press.

Have You Read and Thought About
ThiSY


Every week now scores progress in
the work at West Annapolis. Two
new buildings have been about COM
pleted, convenient and pretty cottages.
Train Master Upton besides finishing
his residence has designed a tasty
little poultry house where he proposes
to raise some first class browning
stock. These may be depended upon
to wake up the little city early in the
morning until they get their town
clock. Progress is the word and a
few pushing men such as are now To-
eating will make a lively stir over
there. AS rule, West Annapolis lots
have been sold to desirable people.
This is an attractive feature as it en-
sures good community. The houses
they build will be neat and tasteful
and the occupants will contribute to
the attractions of the place. You can
buy and build at West Annapolis with
the assurance that you will be exempt
from the annoyance of an undesirable
population. Every guard which the
careful management of Mr.. Melvin
can secure will be thrown around the
enterprise. Lot sales will be made to
good people and the class of buildings
to be erected will be such as to add
increased value to the property. In
quirv for these lots continues and
purchasers are likely to realize fine
profit for their investment.

possible and exposing their person in the
most indecent manner. Not only this,
they have completely destroyed the pleas
