THE CAPTAIN WAS SCARED.
Bullets and Balls Were Too Promiscu
OuG for Him.

ga man is not safe from bullets any
where" Captain Eugene May was heard
to remark the other day to lot of old
comrades. Il have reason to appreciate
the truth of this observation when l re-
fleet upon an experience | had at Jack
son, Miss, once during the war. Bullets
were flying around pretty lively, but we
felt fairly safe, as we were behind high
embankment which extended some dis
lance above our heads. Well, there
wasn't anything to do just then, so l
stretched out beneath a calSson, with my
head just behind wheel.
"The last thing in the world seemed the
coming of bullet into the shade of that
caisson. But while l was lying there
taking it easy suddenly heard sharp
'sping' just behind my head. 1t was un-
mistakenly the noise OF bullet hitting
something. Well, / turned over and
looked at the wheel, and, by George !!
there was bullet imbedded in the tire of
the wheel just about an inch from where
my head had been. Ii that tire had been
a fraction less wide I'd have got the bull
let in the head. l wasn't sleepy after
that, l can tell you, and l moved away
from there almost as quickly as l got
from behind the shade of that tree at
Chickamauga."
what tree at Chickamauga?" queried
some one.
''Well." replied Captain May, sit is a
long story and had almost forgotten it
until | was reminded of it the other day
by old jim Dabney. The way the thing
happened was this: Our section had been
fighting it alone in the peach orchard
until the other members of the battery
joined us, when we moved forward and
had quite a brisk engagement with the
enemy. Our ammunition expended and
our men worn out, we halted at a spot in
the woods to rest and replenish our am
munition.
1.-THE fighting was going on all around
us, and stray bullets were coming along
past us every now and then. | don't be-
lieve / was ever so tired in all my life as
| was after that engagement. 1t was alb
solutely necessary Tor me to take rest,
and perceiving huge tree near by con-
Guided to plant myself alongside of it.
So I leaned against it with my back
to the euemy's line, stretched out
my feet and was having splendid rest
when a underground shot came bound
ing along and struck the tree plumb on
on the opposite side from me and at a
point just behind my head.
well, sir, l did't know what struck
me. The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusalem but didn't | run from under
that tree, looking up sideways and ex-
pecting momentarily to see the whole
enormous mass of wood and leaves
come crashing down on Inc. L didn't
know what had happened until l

high delight, clapping their hands and
yelling at me. felt for week as if |

had become of the contrary bear. The
hired man started with reluctance, but he
had gone but few steps when he was
halted by an exclamation from the farm
er's wife:
'Yonder he is in the chimbly ~ she
shouted.
Sure enough, there was the bears head
sticking up out of the big stone chimney
that led from the fireplace in the sitting
room. This odd bit of news was COM
municated to Farmer Comfort in his re-
treat in the cellar and he came out and
took a look.
''Well, the contrary cuss," he remarked
as he got sight of the bears head In the
chimney. Now, I'll blow his head OIL" y.
But the bear just then drew his head
below the chimney top, and it wasn't
blown off. At the same time brilliant
idea took possession of the farmers wife.
She sent the hired man on the double
quick to the barn for bundle of straw.
When he came back with it she told him
to go into the sitting-room, put the straw
into the fireplace and set fire to 1t. The
hired man hesitated. The farmers wife
snatched the straw from him and ran in
and started the fire herself. She had
hardly returned to the yard when
streak Of smoke began to come out of the
chimney, and not long afterWard the
bears head appeared again, and not only

low was entirely on the OUTSIDE OF the
chimney and letting himself down the
roof.
"Now ping himp' shouted Mrs. Com
fort to her husband, and the latter
pinged him.
The charge took good effect and the
bear dropped to the roof, clutched a mo-
ment at the shingles and then rolled down
the steep side and tumbled to the ground
all in heap. He made an attempt to get
up, but whether he would have been able
to or not if the farmer had not given him
the contents of the second barrel will not
be known, for that settled him for all
time. Mrs. Comfort looked at the big
carcass and the streams of blood that
poured from the wounds and soaked into
the ground. and then said:
IF you'd shot that bear in my kitchen.
Jabe, me am you'd parted next min

Insects In pharmaconea.

Not only in industry and art,
but in medicine also, insects are now
utilized to considerable extent,
and indeed. to a degree not gen.
orally understood by the non-profes-
sional. Even cockroaches, dried and
powdered, are recognized nowadays as
remedy for dropsy, the dust containing
an active principle termed anti-hydfopin,
which stimulates the kidneys and checks
the complaint Probably everybody Is
familiar with the fact that pulverized
Spanish flies are commonly utilized for
blisters, intiaming the skin through the
operation of a substance called canthara-
dine, and it has latterly been ascer-
tanned that ordinary potato bugs, dried
and powdered, possess an equal virtue OF
the same description; many other insects
are also used for supplying cantharadine,
there being as many as fifteen species OF
blister beetles obtained in this country.
Cochineal insects, so valuable as a dye,
are administered in small doses for neu
ralgia and to check the spasms Of whoop-
ing cough. Lac insects, from which shell
lac is made are resorted to as remedy for
Cysentery; and the medicinal properties
of extracts derived from the gals formed
on plants by gall flies are well under
stood; these gals. which contain 20 per
cent. of tannin, being largely gathered in
Asia Minor, mostly from oak trees.

the coming winter and spring-which it
is feared will be trying seasons-to the
unemployed of Sacramento'S citizens,
and to secure the circulation of a reason
able sum of money in the county In adj
dition to the normal circulation? How,
at the same time that these ends are
achieved, can the whole people OF the
county be fully compensated by the labor
applied, and have more than adequate
benefits in the form of permanent inn
provements?
After long and very interesting de-
bate, in which the most humane and
public-spirited sentiment prevailed, and
in which very many important facts
were stated and propositions made, 1t was
agreed that the only work possible to
contemplate is such as can be profitably
put into good bodybuilding, and that it
is possible to give to our own unemployed
fair labor, to the county good roads, to
the taxpayers greater benefits than now
enjoyed and to the agriculturists lessened
taxation.
But, without taking definite action, it
was wisely resolved that the people OF the
county should, through representative
delegates, be taken into counsel to fully
consider and pass upon the propositions,
several in number, that have been made
to effect the ends in view.
The meeting therefore resolved itself
into the neuclus of an organization to be
known as the Sacramento County Road
Club; that county road convention be
called to meet at the Art Gallery at P. NJ,
Tuesday, October 18th; that the delegates
consist of 225 citizens, 125 from the county
outside of the city whom the Supervisors
will be petitioned to appoint, and 100
from the city whom the City Trustees
will be petitioned to name.
1t was ordered that Daniel Flint, Spar
row Smith, j. o. Coleman and w. d.
Lawton be an Executive Committee to
prepare the call for the convention, set
ting forth its objects, and to solicit and
arrange the other details preparatory to
the meeting OF the convention.

We all have pains and aches, but they

are others, but you don't want them; take
our word for it, for when you need a

for experimenting and finding out mis-

Forms of Bacteria.

Bacteria are simply microscopic plants
of varying sizes and shapes, some of them
being so small that $1,000 laid end to end
would not make row more than an inch
in length. Some are flat, others round
or oval, and still others are rod-shaped.
The oldest form of all is that of the one
that is the exact counterpart of a cork
screw. In all cases they are so minute
that one needs a powerful microscope in
order to study them, and in no case can
they be perceived with the unaided eye

The wheelbarrow In Mexico.

An agent of the English firm that is
constructing the extensive system of
drainage canals near the City of Mexico
told an American tourist that when they
first employed native workmen their
methods seemed too slow. for they put the
earth and rocks in bags, placed the bags
on their head and marched Oft with them
So the firm ordered large number of
wheelbarrows. The natives filled the
barrows with earth and put them upon
their heads, too. II was of no use-they
had been doing business that way for too
many centuries.

Housekeeners, Errors.

According to Good Housekeeping, the
fool hath said:
''Never wash your rolling pin. Scrape
off the dough that adheres, and wipe
with dry towel" But there are people
who prefer washing to scraping. The
latter treatment tends to roughen.
''The wornout cover Of an old silk
umbrella makes an excellent dustcloth
for fine furniture" That depends en-
tirely upon the quality of the silk. Some
silk covers would be as unmanageable
as newspaper.

is black, fill it with water and put in a
piece of hard soap. Sc. it on the stove
and let it boil half an hour or an hour.
1t will be as bright as new" Perhaps
SO, but when tea or coffee pots are once
black, are they not past their usefulness
and healthfulness, and would not soap
boiling leave an unpleasant remem-
b1ance?

istence. The first had been organized at
Decatur. Ills. by Stephenson in April,
1865. Stephenson and a few comrades
who were charter members OF the De-
catur post had worked out the plan
while campaigning in Shermans army
the last year of the war. Springfield,
Ills, the home Of Stephenson at that
time, also had a post, but the banner
post of the order was at Indianapolis. 1t
mustered over 1000 comrades, and
although Illinois was the stronger in the
number of posts the first encampment
was called at Indianapolis, where there
was a certainty of rousing and enthu-
siastic welcome. The call for the meet
ing extended an invitation to all old sol
diers and sailors in and out of the order
TO fall into line and test the strength Of
the old army ties. Thousands responded.
and II states were represented by del
egates who had been invited and bore
state credentials. The encampment was
held in Morrison's Opera House, the stage
of which had been transformed into
field camp and draped with the battle
tOru DduueTS Oh tuo iuuudud rtBlE'eutS.
Unbounded enthusiasm swept over tho
great gathering of soldiers and was COM
municated to the people of the city and
of the whole state.
After the business was finished and
the organization perfected on national
basis, a rousing public meeting was held,
and Governor Morton, Indiapa's wa
governor, spoke to the veterans, praisint
the devotion to one another and predict
ing wonderful future for the new
Grand Army. AS an echo Of that en-
campment, when the news was flashed
over the country, mighty cheer went
up from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
ten times ten thousand voices shouted
"Comradeship is fact" The national
body Of officers included veterans from
eight states - namely, Illinois, New
York, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio,
Kentucky and Pennsylvania. General
Stephen A. Hurlburt of Illinois was
chosen commander in chief.
