Charles F. Bailey is congratulating him
self upon his narrow escape from death
last Sunday morning. He went to the
barn to help attend to the usual chores,
and after watering his ihree-year-old Jer-
sey bull led him up to the house to exhibit
him to company, as he is fine looking an
imal. Mr.. Bailey had the fingers of his
left hand in the ring and in his right hand
held a rope which was around the bull S
horns.
The animal lowered his head TO the
ground and taking advantage Of that posi-
ton rushed upon Mr.. Bailey and threw
him to the ground in an instant and at
tempted TO gore him. He rolled Mr.. Bal
ley over on the ground for at least two
rods, then put his horns under him and
threw him high in the air, putting Mr.
Bailey's wrist out of joint in the perform
ance. Mr.. Bailey alighted up N his feet
fortunately, and rushed into the barn
which they were near TO by this time. and
wound the rope around post and the bull
was secure. Mr.. Bailey's mother blew the
tin horn, which called the hired man, Wal
ter Kerr, and he took the bull in charg,
and Mr.. Bailey was assisted into the hous,
in a badly bruised condition
Mr.. Bailey had not been in the habit o
caring for the animal, which probably &C
counts for his sudden turn.

The Hutchinson Herald of

Iowa has an editor who has never

He solicited the physicians of his

was very unprOfeSsional for physicians
to advertise to the extent even of a
word. The editor was touched by
their devotion to a professional prin-
ciple. II cannot" he said, ''prefiX the

1t is predicted that before many
years the Sunf1ower will come into
general cultivation in this country.
AS plant it has no superior for vigor,
rapid growth and prolific yield of
seed, leaves and stalk, all of which
can be utilized. The seeds are espec-
tally good as food for fowls, and when
mixed with grains they are relished
by all farm animals. Fifty bushels
of seed to the acre is a fair yield, and
this will produce fifty gallons of oil
worth 81 per gallon. In China a val
liable fiber, used in silk weaving, is
obtained from the stalks, and they
are of service as fuel and source of
potash. The OrientalS mix their to-
baccO with cured sunfiOwers grown

The Boy in Gray.

fredericksburg had had her fray,
And the armies stood at bays;
Back OF wall and top OF hill,
Union men and men in gray
Glowered at each other still.
In the space between the two
Many hapless boy in blue
Lay face upward to the skies;
Many another, just as true,
Filled the air with frantic cries.
Glove OF God" with pity stirred,
Cried rebel lad who heard;
"This is more than can bear,
General, only say the word,
They shall have some water there
"What's Che usei" his General,
Browning, asked. "a Yankee ball
Drops you dead, or worse, half
way,
Once you go beyond the wall"
"May bel" said the boy in gray.
"Still I'll risk it, il you please"
And the senior, = at ease,
Nodded, growing under breath,
For his mortal enemies
| have sent the lad to death"
Then hotter fire began
As across the field he ran:
Yankee shooters marked prey;
But beside each wounded man
Needless knelt the boy in gray.
Parched lips hailed him as he came;
Threats with fever all a6ame,
While the balls were spinning by,
Drained the cup he offered them.
Blessed him with their dying cry.
Suddenly, through rain of those
Patteripg shots, shout uprose;
Din of voices filled his ears;
Firing ceased, and eager foes
Made the welkin ring with cheers
Foes they were, of bitter need.
Still to every noble deed
Hearts of men, thank God, must
thrill;
And we thrill too, as we read
OF those cheers on Marye's Hill.
Days OF battle long since done,
Days of peace and blessing won;
Better is it to forget
Cruel work Of sword and gun;
But some deeds are treasures yet.
While grateful nation showers
Graves of heroes with her flowers,
Here's wreath for one to-day:
North or South, we claim him ours;
Honor to the Boy in Gray!
