 While young Hammond belonged to the same army as myself 1 had never seen him, except once, until the day of the execution, when he sent the last loving message to his sister-my in- tended bride.
 When I saw him standing before me it was too late, for in a moment the command: Ready, aim, fire!' was given and Paul Hammond lay dead be- fore me, by my command.
 Who can picture my utter despair at that moment? As I saw the fire flash from the muzzle of those muskets bade farewell to all hope of happiness in this life.
 Some weeks after the execution I re- ceived a letter and I instantly recog- nized Eugenia's writing.
 Enclosed was clipping from Dal- ton newspaper, with my name and her brothers marked, and a long account of the affair. There was also notice of the death of her old father caused by the shock of his sons death.
 She wrote just a few lines; I shall never forget them: May God forgive you as I do. This gulf can never be bridged-not even by an idolatrous love-"
 never wrote to her, for I felt it was useless. So time passed, and in the summer of 1879 I went to the Green Brier white sulphur springs.
 The first evening there 1 saw a mag nifcently dressed woman whiriing in the waltz that somehow attracted my attention. Nearer and nearer she came and at last our eyes met.
 Instantly she sank to the floor, and just as quickly was she surrounded by her friends.

A Pathetic Incident of Gen. Braggs s
 Retreat.

The 18th of December, 1863, was a sad day to the confederate army, con- manded by Gen, Bragg, in winter quar- ters around Dalton, for on that day thirteen men who at one time be- longed to that army had been sen tenced to be shot.
 Some had been caught by our cav airy fighting against the army they had once belonged to, some had en- listed as teamsters in the federal army, and some were to be shot for insubordination. Among the number was gallant little Charley Hudson, a beardless youth. but as brave a soldier

TO CAPTURE THE KID.
Train Robber Rogers Was Or
 ganizing a Party.
The Organization Supposed to Have Included the Men Who Captured
 the Southern Pacific Train.

The search for Rogers and Donovan, the train robbers, is being quietly and diligently kept up, but no results have been reported. Both Southern Pacific detectives, Breckenridge and Smith, and Sheriff Drais. are still in the city, evidently believing that the men are here or very near. If they have made any discoveries they have been carefully guarded.
 It vii be very difficult for the ban dits to leave and it is believed that they do not int end to break cover until vigilance is relaxed. On the other hand the Southern Pacific and Wells Fargo, those twin discouragers of train robbers are unlikely to permit it to relax until the men are captured or until 1t is known that they are out of immediate reach.
 Several incidents are related which serve further to connect Rogers and his associates with the robbery. Many persons recollect now a scheme which he projected and made public just after the robbery of the Wickenberg stage.
 He proposed to organize party to hunt for the Kid. In fact he gave it out that he had already organized a party and expected he said to leave in few days. One of the members was a man of whom he spoke familiarly as Frank. It is supposed that by Frank" he meant Frank Armer the captured robber.
 It is quite probable that the organ izatlon was actually effected. not for the purpose though of trailing the Apache. The $5,00O offered for the capture of the renegade is much more uncertain of attainment than the con- tents of express boxes. It is remem- bered also that Rogers talked a great deal about stage robberies, particularly the Wicken berg hold up. He also iokingly said he had notion to get a gang together and go into the business of holding up railroad trains.

can inform your readers of the very
best way that roads can be improved
and the only way TO have lasting roads.
Take the road tax from every farmer
who is willing or able TO build up and
care for a limited length of road. Di-
vide the country roads up into small
chunks. Give a premium of u new
kind of pig or new strain of coclSerel
for the best improved chunk of road in
the care of any single farmer.
Get the ladies interested by Offering
them prizes of sweetmeats or chocolate
DROPS, if they will use their influence
with their husbands, father and sweet
hearts, to make and keep up their
quota of the road. Have kissing bees
which will interest the boys, they will
do any sort of work for kiss. This
will start up a big excitement through
ont the country.
Offer TO give all the stone, gravel or
sand necessary TO make permanent
road. When there is no stone there is
plenty of gravel, and when there is no
gravel there is sand. Mix sand with
clay mix gravel with cldy-miX stone
broken as small as hens eggs with
clay. Tax city people and farmers
who do not help to make the roads
Then when everything begins to
work smoothly offer a reward for the
poorest worked piece of road. The re-

HINTS FOR THE COOK.

IN beating the whites of eggs for
meringue or frosting, do not add the
sugar until the egg is stiff.
WuES there is not time to ice cake,
remember that its appearance may be
greatly improved by dredging the top
with little powdered sugar.
ALWAYS keep jar of cracker dust
on hand for breading, or else save up
all pieces of bread, and once month
dry them in an open oven, then place
them in a bag and pound until fine.
For rabbit pie the rabbit should be
cooked as for stew, the gravy thick
ened, and the whole put into a deep
dish and baked with n top crust and
strips around the sides, as beefstealx
pie is made.
HERE is the correct way to stone rails
ms: Free the raisins from the stems and
then put them ia a bowl. Cover them
with boiling water and let them stand
for two minutes. Pour off the water,
open the raisins. and the seeds can be
removed quickly and easily without
the usual sickness.
RABBIT may he stewed in the same
manner as chicken in fricassee. 1t
should always be cooked in stock and
have a strip of salt pork cut into dice
TO flavor it properly. The English add
spices in which mace is the predominant
ing flavor. but care must be exercised in
the use of this, for IL is Objectionable

RABBITS may be prepared for roast

HousEKEEPERs' CORNER.

To SCALE fish easily, dip them in boil
ing water.
BOILED cabbage is much sweeter
when the water is changed in boiling.
ToUGH meat may be made tender by
laying it few minutes in vinegar
water.
In baking bread or rolls, put sauce-
pan of boiling water into the oven. The
steam will keep the crust smooth and
tender.
Much of the heavy cake and bread is
the result of the oven door being banged
in closing. 1t should be closed as
gently as possible.
BEFORE beginning to seed raisins,
cover them with hot water and let
them stand fifteen minutes. The
| seeds can then be removed easily.
BouING liquids, jellies or fruits may
be turned into glass, without break
ing the vessel if You press the bowl OF
a spoon on the bottom while filling.
FoR starching muslins, ginghams
and calicoes, dissolve n piece of alum
the size of hickory nut for every pint
of starch This will keep the colors
bright for long time.
KID gloves may be cleaned, when
slightly soiled, with small piece of
oiled silk wound tightly about the
finger, and rubbed vigorously over the
surface of the glove.
GLASS which has grown dull can be
restored to a fairly bright condition by
washing with diluted hydro-chloric
acid and afterwards rubbing with mois-
tened chalk or whiting.
OLD paint and varnish may be re-
moved by an emulsion formed of two
parts of ammonia shaken up with
one part of turpentine. 1t will soft
en- them SO they may easily be scraped
off.
For laundry use kerosene is very eff
fectual in whitening clothes. A half a
teacupful in a boiler of clothes will
produce most satisfactory result. Yet
care must be exercised when using this
explosive material.
LINEN crash, blue denim or ticking
are the best possible fabrics for cover
ing iron holders. Make them remova-
bic by basting one end together and
occasionally put them in the family
wash. BeeswaX for smoothing sad
irons should be tied in n piece of white
muslin TO prevent waste.

add a new charm &c them. and the addi-
tional cost will be trifling. Cheaper
grades of bells can be secured al the
large drygoods stores, at agencies for
theatrical properties and at novelty
stores in general.
The miniature church bell is prefer
able, though very pretty effects may
be gained by strings of tiny sleigh
bells. If only one bell is used, it is
sewed securely TO the instep of the
slipper Clusters of bells should be
strung on silk cord or small ribbons
The above illustrations will suggest
many ways of fastening the bells to
the slippers so as TO secure sufficient
sound and enough artistic effect.
So now il can once more be said of
the society princess that:
With rings on her fingers,
And bells on her toes,
She shall make music

whirl of the dance, faint musical
tinkling of bells marked her move

None of the many male admirers

Each complexion has its best and its
worst possibilities. Most persons can

but very few can wear dark red. 1t is
wise to accept ones limitations and
dress within them. If peacock blue is

PLANTING PEAR TREES.
The Kinds Which Are Most Profitable for
the Average Grower.


the Average Grower.
Never plant pear trees on wet soil.
Do not be afraid TO manure them, for
you cannot produce large and luscious
pears on starved trees. Do not let them
run too near the sky, but prune back
some every year. II this Is done in
June and July it will induce fruitful
ness in trees that are tardy bearers.
OF all the early kinds Tyson is my
favorite. 1t is almost free from blight
and for beauty and delicate flavor it is
scarcely equaled. Seckel is also nearly
blight proof and behaves well either as
dwarf or standard. 1t bears well
and for sugary richness and high flavor
is equal TO the best Howell is another
favorite and is a dependable bearer.
but the fruit is too soft for market.
Sheldon should not be forgotten, as it
is one of the best of the fall varieties.
Bartlett is too we'll known to be de-
scribed and should be planted either
for home or market use. Anjou is
about the best of the winter kinds, exc
cept ii be Lawrence. All these are well
tested and of high qualities almost
every way. Those who want to make
money regardless of giving offense to
those who really know what good
pears are should plant Kieffer. 1t will
pay in almost any market. and when
cooked with sugar is quite good. LIE
Conte is almost tasteless but in the
south il pays for market. Prof. l.. Ii.

Fungus spores in Seeds.

Some fungous diseases of fruits and
vegetables live over winter in the
seeds. This is especially true of the
bean anthracnose, and possibly also of
the watermelon rot. The fungus spores
in the seeds may be killed by soaking
for an hour in solution of three
ounces of copper carbonate in one
quart of ammonia and diluted with
four and n half gallons of water This
is somewhat similar to the treatment of
oats and wheat preparatory to sowing
found SO efficient at many of the ex-
pertinent stations and in actual prac-
tice ON hundreds of farms.
