their saddles awaiting the onset. W
did not dare to discharge our rifles TO
fear of hitting our leaders.
Carson had said calmly: ethel
pieces are empty, Sam. Wait till the,
almost touch u.s..
The A~paches, finding the whites di'
not fire, evidently supposed that thei
"shoot-all-day little guns" were no
loaded. With exultant yells they cam,
recklessly on. They had reached within
fifteen feet of the impassive horsemen
when six shots, SO rapidly discharged
that the report of n overlapped tn
other, blazed out and rs many brave
went down.
Then, before the remaining six coult
turn end run, Carson, giving way to
fit of Rage, drove the spurs into hi
horses TANKS, and, with an appalling
shout, fairly rode two of the miscreant'
down and the others skurried away,
but our rifles finished them.
The twenty men who had been left
behind to reload rejoined us here fol
the pursuit, but Carson put up his re-
~volvers. "That will do, boys. The
reds have got their lesson"
All this, which has taken so long to
tell, occupied scarce a minute in the
doing. We found Scott with but q
scalp wound, and we set off back to the
Indian camp a jolly party.
Scattered owe the ground we found
blankets, buffalo robes, deer skins,
prairie wolf pelts, war clubs, bows and
arrows and spears. Twenty sets of
these weapons still lay by the warriors
slain by the opening rifle volley. Near
at hand were tethered more than q hun
dred ponies.
Then we set out for the corral. The
approach, the attack, the rescue, the
Skirmish, the pursuit, the destruction
of the camp had been crowded into
less than three hours.
This was only one among the daring
necessary deeds which made Kit Car
sons name a household word through
out the length and breadth of his ma.
tive land.
In after years when, at his own home
in Taos, l came to know Christopher
Carson well, he assured me-and his
history bears him out in this--that
eve once in his long career of battle
had he needlessly killed a single red
man, though in those times among the
pioneers of the Western plains the life
of an Indian was considered of no
more account than that of a noxious
beast.
When the ''jubilation" had Quoted
down Carson inquired for the pris-
oner.
"Safe here, but utterly worn out
and nearly starved" replied Prescott.

Vast Extent of Texas.

Texas, the largest of the United
States, has an area of 262, 900 square
miles, says the Memphis Appeal-Ava.
lanche. To the casual reader these
figures may seem very little; they
show, however, that the Lone Star
State is more than fifty-four times as
large as the State of Connecticut. If
it were possible to run q railroad train
from Connecticut to Texas and back in
a day, and if the train could take the
entire population of the Nutmeg State
as given in the last census at every
trip, and upon it's return to Connect.
cut there should be as many persons in
the State as there was before the train
left with its cargo, and if each were
placed upon an acre of ground upon
his arrival in Texas, the train would
be obliged to make ga trips, or to
depopulate Connecticut 224 times, be-
fore accomplishing it's mission, and
then there would remain in Texas
703, 808 empty acres. If the entire
State of Texas were planted with corn
and the hills were two feet apart and
the rows were three feet apart, and if
every man, woman and child in the
State of Connecticut were set to work
in the field to hoe the corn, and each
person were able to and did hoe two
hills in five minutes, it would take this
army of laborers seven years $50 days
and seven hours to hoe every hill of
corr in the State, lsboring continu'
ously day and night 365 days each
year. The man who fears that he
could not elbow his way around in the
crowded West without chatting the nap
of his coat sleeves may gather some
solace from the statement that the
entire population of the globe, 1,400,-
900, 900 souls, divided into families of
five persons each, could be located in
Texas, each family with a house on a
half-acre lot, and there would still re.
main so, 600, 900 vacant family lots.

Getting Rid of Flies.

There are always a few extremely
annoying flies that seem to linger, az
it Were, in the lap of summer. They
are anything but welcome visitors, and
are diligent spreaderso of disease. They
come buzzing about the house and
alight on the food, after having
skirmished around all sorts of evil
places. They fly a considerable dis
lance, and one has no security that
yesterday or this morning they were
not in some adjacent neighborhood,
circling around some contagious dis.
ease patient.
They may be killed very easily by
folding a large newspaper until it is
about four or five inches wide. and
halt the length of thepage. With this
and a little practice, one may strike a
fly and hit it nine times out of ten.
Five minutes of diligent attention will
almost clear the honsa of these pests
and if this is persisted in every day or
two, or three times a day, as occasion
requires, there will be no reason for
complaint of these unwelcome visitors.

Imprisoned in Their Cyclone Pit,

In Hart County. Georgia, there
lives a family by the naine of Finley,
who dug a storm pit in the front yard.
They fitted it up with heavy doors,
ventilation tubes and furniture to
make it comfortable for a days abode
if necessary. With the indications of
N approaching cyclone one day the
family retired to the underground
quarters. When the storm subsidized
they found that some immovable OBJ
struction had been blown across the
door of the storm-house and they were
prisoners. Finally the neighbors, in
searching for their bodies, supposing
them all to be dead, removed q great
tree that had fallen across the door
and the family were rescued in time to
save their lives. st. Louis Globe

Says the Atlanta Constitution +:
"Oaly q boy" is q very common
phrase, and it generally means that a
youdgster cannot be expected to settle
down to the serious business of life
and achieve any marked degree of sue
cess. This is o mistake. Frank Hagan.
of Ingersoll, Texas, is sixteen years
old. He has just quit school after
winning several prizes. During his
school days he cultivated three acres
of land at odd times, producing cab
bages weighing thirty pounds and
onions averaging a pound each. The
crop netted him enough to pay for
forty-eight head of range cattle. This
year young Hagan has rented fifteen
acres from his father, furnishing all
the vegetables the family can consume
as rental. He will have four acres of
oats that will yield seventy-five bush
els per acre, six acres of Irish potatoes
yielding about twenty barrels to the
acre, three acres of cabbages that have
5000 plants to the acre, expected to
average eight pounds to the head, and
the remainder Of the land isdevoted to
onions hat viii yield 600 bushels to
the acre. He is also raising a large
number of turkeys. The boy works
only one hand, and will clear at least
$1,000. for his years work. He is now
offered $3.50 per barrel for onions,
three cents per pound for cabbage and
30 per barrel for potatoes. He takes
several agricultural journals, and is
quite nm authority on all matters per.
tanning to farming. There is plenty
of room in the South for such boys.
They are needed to help the old folks
and to advertise the fact to the world
that farmingin this region lisa money
making business, when it is rightly
managed. That Texas boy deserves q

Says the New York Sun: "There il
evidently a great deal for woman te
learn in the domestic arts and sciences
at the Chicago Exposition outside oil
the beautiful building dedicated to her
special honor and instruction. There
is a variety of cooking exhibitions, and
one of them is especially to be COM
mended. This is the exhibit devoted
to the illustration Of ell the uses to
which the products OF maize, or corr
as it is universally called in this coun-
try, can be profitably and palatably
pnt in the economy of the household.
Although the queens Of the American
kitchen have been supposed to be well
acquainted with corn meal, it appears
that there are many grades and modi-
~fcations of the familiar yellow -four,
and the ingenuity of a celebrated de-
monstrator of the culinary art has
evolved some forty savory products
with such queer names a .plunkets, =
'.jolly boys, tmu-kia-li-we' and ..kia-
mu-ia-li-we. 1t is to be hoped that
those articles all taste as sweet under

foreign visitors the value and desira-
bility of corn iours for human food.

not known at all until a special com-
missioner, Mr.. Murphy, was sent to
Europe by Secretary Rusk of the De-
partment Of Agriculture to give lee
lures and demonstrations of how pala-
table and nutritious dishes could be
made from q grain which, on that side
of the Atlantic, fed the lower animals
alone. As q result Of his efforts the
knowledge of corn -four has become
quite usual among the culinary experts
of Paris, Berlin and Vienna, and as

become acquainted~with it the foreign

A FIVE O'CLOCK POEM.

The shadows lie across the road
In lopg, cool streaks;
The unshine touches tenderly
Thezreen hill peaks.
Th1Iair is clear as clear can be,
The sky, soft blue;
And all the earth seems fair and sweet.
The heavens, too.
And by the walk before the gate,
The evening breeze
Makes all the leaves to bend and wave
Upon the trees.
The sun is low above the hill
Out toward the west;
The quiet air brings happily
A hint Of rest.
The COW goes slowly long the fence;
And in the field,
The men amid the hay. their scythes
Have ceased to WELD.
So sweet and bright and fair has been
This afternoon
That n might wish the whole round veal
Could be all June.
But best of all the summer eve
