gather around the campfire ut night,
get a board, make charcoal circle
upon it, heat it warm, and then all who
were in the game would catch one of
the gray monsters and drop him in the

for the next day. He looked on during
the excitement of the race with the
anxious longing of the inveterate
gamester. Suddenly he seemed to get
new idea and he watched the contest
with increased interest. Two days he
kept away from the race-traeli and the
boys wondered what had become of
him. The third night he was on deck
and eager for the sport. When the
time for scoring came he reached down

took therefrom a lean and hungry army

by several open lengths. Two or three
more mile dashes resulted in the same

TIMELY FIELD NOTES.

THE need of ice is now being felt by
great many persons. 1t is neither
difficult nor expensive to put up small
amount OF ice. Suppose you try it next
winter.
Do NOT allow harvesting to keep the

blowing The last plowing destroys
many weeds and usually increases the
yield materially.
PASTURES which are infested with

by moving the weeds late this month
before the seeds have matured. Com
paratively few weeds will ripen seeds
If this is done.
DESTROY noXious weeds along the
roadside. Many of them are distributed
and allowed to seed there and soon get
out on the adjoining farms. District
road supervisors should see that they

zone of the most heroic acts of
bravery which | ever knew or heard of
during the late war occurred at Gettys-
burg on the morning of July 8, 1868. A
private named George Boles, of COM
pany A, Twenty-seventh Indiana regi-
ment, was the hero. Our brigade had
been ordered to advance upon the
rebels on Wolf Run. Our lines were
ordered out of our works and we adj
vanced on the enemy in three columns
deep, which had been sent to turn our
right
1.-THE distance to be travelled from our
works to the rebels was about two hun
dred yards across level sward,
and beyond this and in the edge
of the timber the enemy was sta
toned. The order came: Forward
battalion by regiments!'' The order
was received with that death. like
stiffness which precedes a hot fight.
But n moment elapsed before it was ap-
parent we were in trap. We must
either charge bayonets or retreat, so
the order came to charge bayonets.
This was done at once. The distance

had been obtained when our lines were
met by their columns, the first column
| lying down, the second lsneeling and
the third standing. Our column was
met by this deadly fire, and a general
engagement ensued, but with such odds
against us that we We're ordered to fall
back. The colors of the Twenty
seventh Indiana were shot down and
picked up seven times. In this charge
our regiment had eighteen men killed
and forty-three wounded.
'After our regiment had regained its
works, voice was heard calling:
Colonel, come and help me off the
field A moment only was required to
find out who was missing. Capt. Will
llinson said he was sure it was James
Denit calling for help. Then it was
George Bolcs said: Captain, I'll find
out
Creeping up to the top of the works,
or as near TO the top as he was safe,
Boles called out: is that you, jim?
At once the answer came: Yes, come,

cat last Boles said: Men, can't
stand it to hear poor Jim calling for
help I'm going to get him. No man
could hope to live in the face of such a
fire, and the captain and men begged
Boles not to go, but all to no purpose
He threw off his knapsack, haversack,
canteen and cartridge-box. Turning
to the men he said: Tell Nancy am
going for jim. Putting his hands on
the top log of the works he leaped TO
the other side, and with a few bounds
he reached Denit, and STOPPING raised
him in his arms. But at that moment
poor Boles fell dead, pierced through
the head by bullet. They were found
as they fell, and together they were
buried, and this was the message sent
home: Tell Nancy am going for jim"

Must Fight for themselves.

Professional and commercial men
say to the farmer: Let other peoples
affairs alone, mind your own business
and you will be prosperous enough"
The trouble is that the farmer has al.
ways, until very recently, done that
very thing. And while the farmer has
always done this, the other men have
habitually meddled with his affairs,
and their meddlesomeness has taken the
form of not only holding HIM in the
background while Others advanced
rapidly, but of reaching out for all he
earns, and of reducing him to the con-
iiition of tenant at will on his own
acres, to be treated in all respects like
the helpless and hopeless peasantry OF
the old world. Rural.

SELECTING SEEDS.
Pick Out the Best Plants and Preserve
for That Purpose.

for That Purpose.
Owing to the facility with which
farmers can supply themselves from the
seedsmen, few save their own seeds
now as they did in former times. 1t is
SO convenient to look over the assort
ments to be found in the seed stores
and select what one wants for the gar
den for Il small consideration that saw
ing seeds at the right time is scarcely
thought of by most families having
gardens Still there are in many cases
manifest advantages in saving at least
portion OF the seeds which may be
wanted the next season, says the South
eru Farmer. In this way one can feel GER
tain of having for his various crops
seeds which will grow and be true to
name If proper care is taken in gather
ing, curing and preserving them from
injury until wanted for use. Do not
take seeds from the plant until perfect
| ly mature. Select from the best stalks
and spread for few days in a dry
room, and when they have been care
fully cleaned put in small bags, label
and hang out of harms way until
planting time. 1t is good plan to
single out the plants from which the
seeds are to be saved some time before
the ripening and nore such as are the
most productive and vigorous.

A veteran of Many Wars.

Every now and then we hear some
thing about old veterans. The latest is
about Thomas Allen, who lives in Tyler
county, w. Va, who is claimed to be
one hundred and three years old. He
served under the duke of Wellington in
the war against France, and was at the
battle of Waterloo. He was IN the
Mexican war under Gen. Scott, and
served a short time in the union army
during the late war, being compelled to
retire ON account of his infrmities.

"A Stvry OF Bravery That Was Related by
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Gen. Lee was never great talller ex-
cept under one condition, and that was
when he had young ladies to entertain,
for then his natural gallantry got the
better of him and he was a charming
companion, though not what might be
called loquacious, and he did not care
to talk of the war, preferring to choose
other topics. 1t was in camp, however,
that he SO far yielded to the desires of
a couple of fair visitors as to spin a
yarn. He had invited two young ladies,
cousins of his, to dine with him, and it
was to them and at their persuasion
that he told the story Of the 1.-Two Con-
federate Scouts"
Carefully arranging his napkin on
the table in front of him and sitting
perfectly erect in his chair, rs was his
custom, Gen. Lee said: "When this
war is over you will hear q great deal
of praise given TO the leaders of the
armies, and in the attempt to do them
honor the private soldier will to a GER
tain extent be overlooked. This is un.
fortunate, since some of the noblest
and most daring deeds of the war were
done by privates on both sides.

After ferreting out the secrets of

rainstorm of several hours duration,
which forced them to shelter until
night. When they reached the river
they found, to their chagrin, that it
was too much swollen to be crossed in

innocent fun with them, and proceeded
to jab them in the back with the points

mot only that, but every man who
takes deep interest in games of chance
Is by nature superstitious. This was
illustrated during the war. Ask any
old soldier and he will tell you that
every battle during the war was pre-
saged by n path strewn with playing
cards Just before and just after a
battle you would never find a card in
camp The reason of this was that
men who carried cards at the first APP
proach of scrimmage threw them
away No matter how inveterate the
gambler, he dreaded the thought of
dying with cards upon his person.
This led to all kinds of makeshifts for
gambling purposes when the army was
away from any depot Of supplies.

With His Authority for 1t.
Uncle Ben is regular 'old time"
Virginia darky, one of the class so fast
dying out.
Born and raised on the Carter planta-
ton many years before the war, he has
never left his old masters family.
Some months ago Ben, though well
stricken in years, took unto himself
young wife, and for a long time domes-
tic cares seemed to weigh somewhat
heavily on the old man.
One morning, however, he came to
his work with such an expression of
contentment on his sable countenance
as to attract the attention of Mars'e
Tom.
Inquiry elected the fact that his
wife had just presented him with a son
and heir. "Ben," asked Master Tom,
what are you going to call your boy?"
Ben stopped ''currying" the old
"Pete MULE and said with an express
sion of great solemnity, BOSS, | gwine

'Mars'e Tom allowed that Holloway
was a mighty fine name, but did not
quite see its connection with the Lord.

Ben, ''ain' you done hear dat Lord S

art in Hebben, Holloway,be by name?'

1t was not until the close of the
old war for independence that much
attention was paid to the improvement
of the breeds of domestic animals in
the United States. In 1888 some horned
cattle were imported into Maryland
and passed into the hands of Matthew
Patton, of Virginia, who took great
pains in raising pure stock from them.
Some "Shorthorns" were imported
from England into Westchester coun'
ty, n. Y, from 1892 to 1896, and these
were purchased with the design of I'M
