war being over. Billy R., member of
the same company, bought some green
onions, that is, he said he bought them,
had them washed and cleaned and laid
them down on his rubber blanket,
waiting until dinner was ready. Tom
my, passing by, saw the onions, and at
the same time saw that Billy was not

green onions and put them in his pock-
Ell, and went over to his own mess, and
while standing around waiting for his

THE GUNNEIiS WATCHED THE CONTEST.
sent him home, but he refused to stay.
The captain took a liking to the dog,
and allowed him to remain in camp,
and when the battery was ordered
south, Zip went, too.
Some very active service followed. in
all of which the dog took prominent
part. He would take up position
near the field pieces, and bark defiance
at the enemy.
At Shiloh shell exploded within ten
feet of Zip, cutting off three inches of
his bushy tail. So far from being dis
ablcd by this wound, he was greatly
stimulated by it and advanced On the
enemy, barking furiously. The lines
were about five hundred yards apart,
and shot and shell were flying thick as
hail.
Zip had gone about three hundred
yards toward the confederate battery,
when knight of his own kind rushed
out TO meet him. 1t happened that the
confederate battery had dog, too, a
black one, much bigger than Zip
There was no sl;irmishirg between
the dogs before the battle opened.
They were instantly engaged all along
the line, horse, foot and dragons, so to
speak. The confedcrates ceased their
firing and began to cheer on their dog.
The union artillerymen did the same.
For fully ten minutes the batteries
stood still while the guuners watched
the contest between their representa-
tives, who were like two chosen knights
of old. 'Sic him, "ige!" the confeder-
atcs shouted, and go it, Zip! Tear
him up, Zip!" the union soldiers
screamed. while the two dogs sought
TO fight out in their own persons the
cause of the north and south. Pres
emily y confederate sergeant threw a
stone ut Zip
Keep your hands OF that dog!'
yelled the captain of the Illinois bat
terry, and trained gun on the confed-
crate group. That set both batteries
to going again; and still, beneath the
rain of iron, the two dogs fought on.
Smith owns, sorrowfully, that Zip
got the worst of it. He was too small
for his antagonist, but when he at last
crawled out of the fight, the union bat
terry threw a six-pound she'll into the
confederate dog and blew him to
pieces. Zip recovered, and followed
his muster all through the war.-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

A QUEER SLEEPING DRAUoHT
Hit with Clubbed Muslset In Wild ylc-
torIocs Charge.

So long as the fieldpieces of the
enemy continued to play on our front
we did not mind them, for the fire was
so high that everything went over our
heads and into the Third brigade in re-
serve. By and by, however, battery
moved to the left and got flank fire
ON the line, and then we realized that
one OF two things must speedily hap
pen-the whole brigade must fall back,
leaving wide gap in the lines, or a
regiment would be ordered to charge
the guns. Not more than three or
four shells had fallen among us when
the order came Our regiment changed
front and dressed it's lines, with six
guns belching shot and shell at us
from the ridge half mile away.
We front to the west and are also on
ridge. between the TWO ridges is
open ground, with two fences to climb
or throw down. There is also high
way running parallel with our lines,
nnd at the base of our ridge is bush
fringed gully which in the spring is a
creek. After VIC have crossed the high
way and the fence on the far side we
must dash up green slope on which
there is not even Il bush for cover. We
know that the guns are supported by
infantry, but we have no idea of the
number. We had five minutes in
which to survey the ground. Then
the word came down the lines to take
"open order" and not stop to level the
fences, and we moved forward. AS we
did so shell killed and wounded six
men in Company IL, and five seconds
later solid shot killed two or three in
Company G.
1t was common time" to the brow
of the ridge and then double quick"
and trail arms" across the first field.
No one shouted or cheered. The guns
had point blank fire at us and they
were served SO rapidly that shells were

DOING FANCY WORK.
1t Does Not Tax the Brain and soothes

1t Does Not Tax the Brain and Soothes
the Nerves.
Look at woman with even the most
elaborate fancy work. AS soon us her
fingers are we'll trained to it and dis
charge their functions as they ought
you see that she hardly needs to think
at all of what she is doing, and that
heart and soul wander off to the topics
which interest her most You see a
smile steal over her face as she remem~
bers her children's quaint little vaga-
ries, or she sighs as she thinks of the
dying mother or the anxious husband.
Her heart and soul are no longer in
the mere work, elaborate though it be.
The stitch has been thoroughly
learned the practice of it is merely
automatic-"retieX action" as the ply
siologists call it-and the heart and
soul are at liberty to eXpatiate on any
subject which most deeply interests
her. In word, even the difficult tech
nique in which she is engaged has be-
come for her humdrum occupation.
Now, when nature takes so much
pains to reduce the organization of
even the highest skill to an automatic
process, is it likely that there can be
any great misfortune in the mere fact
that constantly increasing proportion
of the work of the world tends to be-
come automatic and falls naturally
into the character of humdrum work?
We suspect that it is no misfortune at
all; that it may be, on the whole, a
beneficent provision for liberating the
heart and soul of the worker to dwell
on the class of subjects which best
feed-or, at all events, in the higher
class of minds best feed-the heart or
the imagination.
We remember hearing how three
sisters. all of them women of a good
deal of intelligence and warmth of
character, were once comparing their
favorite occupations. One of them said
she enjoyed her music SO much. an.
other that reading poetry was her
chief delight, while the third, and
certainly the cleverest of the three,
said well, for my part, there is moth
ing that soothes me so much as patch
ing an old chemise. Spectator.

The most famous of the non-human

heard in many battles, as he circled
about over the smoke of the guns. But
there were other animal combatants
who were as warlille as he, though they
failed to win fame.
The story of such an antagonist has
