over the narrow escape she had from
losing her the other day.

which her wages became due her mis-

to pay her. In a few moments she
rushed from the study to the kitchen,

Clean the nests regularly to keep

If the hens lay soft-shelled eggs give
them plenty of gravel.
To make most profitable fowls, they

The food must always be varied

Too much soft or cooked food is not
good for fowls. They need some en-

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.
Instances of True Gentility Under Trying
circumstances.


"There are no more hospitable peo-
pie in the world than your true south
1rner," said Capt. Burnell. In 1866, the
year after the war ended, in company
with my brother, rode through sew
eral states of the south, including Mis-
sissippi, on horseback. We were some
miles back of Vicksburg, toward the
close of May afternoon, when we met
an old planter. He invited us to accept
his hospitality. we have but little,
but such as we have we shall be glad to
share with you,' said this courteous
southern gentleman. We learned that
he had been a man of prominence, had
served in the Legislature and repre-
sented his state in national conventions.
He told us that he had been opposed to
his states going out of the union, but
after it had gone, and his boys, the apGe
of his eye, had entered the confederate
service, his sympathies, of course, were
with the southern cause. Where else
should they be? 1 had 1000 acres of
land, 200 negroes and probably was
worth $500,O0O. My property is all
gone, my land has been neglected and
am finding great difficulty in getting
enough for my family to live on. All
this 1 could bear without a word of
complaint if the grave would only give
up its dead. Both of my boys, who were
in Lees army, were killed-one at
Gettysburg and the other in the Wilder
ness 1t was then impressed upon my
mind as it had not been before that the
people of the south, as the result of the
war, had suffered far more than the
people of the north. Nearly all of the
| fighting was on their soil. Both great
armies had marched and counter
! marched through their states, and dew
! astation is in the footsteps of march
| ing army.
"As we parted the next morning, l
said to our host: Il know something
of southern character and southern
hospitality. We have enjoyed our stay
under your roof; we see your situa'
ton. We would not for the world hurt
your feelings, but please accept this
in payment of your kindness to u.s.
1t was only an X. There was tear
in the old mans eye as he said: al
one time 1 should have regarded this as
an insult; now it Is godsend, and
thank YOU '"-Chicago Times-Herald'

FARM AND GARDEN.
TAKE A VACATION.
The Farmer Needs Rest as Much as the
City RuaIn eas Man.

The Farmer Needs a Rest as Much rs the
City Busin ess Man.
This may not strike some of our read
ers as a subject with which the practi-
cal farmer has anything to do, but we
assure such that the most practical, sue
cessful farmer is the one who takes an
occasional day off-even prolongs the
day to week or ten days sometimes.
Too many farmers seem to think that
the thing to do is to dig with main brute
force from early morning till late at
night with no let up for 312 days a year,
and chasing round all day Sunday be-
sides. Such men have faint idea of
the good things they miss in life. The
farmers life at best has days of hard
toll that are sometimes long, but to
make every day long, hard one is not
doing ones best.
Plan to have as few days from sun to
sun as possible and break the monotony
of constant work by an occasional out
ing. One does not have to go to the
seashore or to a mountain retreat to
have an outing; does not necessarily
have to take n train or wheel. A good
time of rest may be obtained by the
change to be had in a trip by wagon
over the country from the home farm as
q center.
Writing in the New York Tribune of
such n trip, Webb Donnell expresses our
idea when he says: "Tal1e a wagon and
the farm team, put in a supply of eat
ables for both man and beast, make
provision for camping out at night and
make trip through the country as far
as your time and inclination lead.
Think of the jolly dinners cooked by
the roadside and the pleasure of search
each night for place to camp! Then
too, one would have continual interest
in the sight of farm after farm, with its
stock and its methods of work. Some OF
these farms you may have heard of be.
cause of some peculiar excellence, and
you will want to visit them as you &c
along.
"Such drive can be made the meanf
of great pleasure and much practica
good, and when the horses turn in at the
old place again I'm quite sure they will
bring home a load of people greatly
benefited by the experience. When yoI
get home from this or some other out
ing begin to plan straightway for the
outing next year. You can't think wha'
pleasure the anticipation and planning
will give every member of the family
1t will tighten the whole years labor

relax enough. Suppose a bit of sucf
recreation does cost something? Wha

Besides, one can work so much bette:

CAPTIVE FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Carl G. James Says He Was Stolen by In
dlRna in 1863.

Carl g. James Says Hs Was stolen by In
dians in 1868.
Gov. Rich, of Michigan, has received
a letter from Carl G. James, of Grand
Forks, S. D., who is anxious to fra his
parents, telling a thrilling story.
James says in 1868 or 1864 he was
taken from Port Huron by the Cana
dian Indians. Shortly thereafter the
Indians became afraid of the whites
and moved west, taking their captive
with them. James was very young
then, and it was not until two years
ago that he learned where he was
taken from. He Immediately set out
to find some trace of his relatives, but
has not yet been successful James
says at the time of the Northfield mas.
sacre he made his escape after being
tied to a stake and burned so severely
that he still carries the scars. A young
girl was taken from Port Huron at the
same time he was, but he has been un'
able to learn whether she was his sis
ter. The story is vouched for by d. P
Ryan, of Grand Forks, who says that
the young man is handicapped in his
efforts to find his family by the fac
that he does not know his real name
James being the name of the man whC
rescued him.

Good Newu from south Dakota.

The glorious results of this seasons
harvest of golden grain will pour stream
of sound money into the pockets OF every
Dakota farmer
South Dakota has thousands of acres of
choice farming and ranch land lying east of
the Missouri river, and within one days
ride from Chicago or Milwaukee, which can
now be bought reasonably cheap, but which
before the end of another year may be ad-
vanced in price.
The stock raising industry in South Da-
kota is profitable, and eastern capital is
now being invested in cattle and sheep
growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of live
stock, and the products of The dairy, are
placing South Dakota forem ost in the ranks
of the successful western states.

missiles did not stop the rush of the

the center of the on-rushing horsemen,
sent two men and three horses to the
ground in a heap. The federals, with
the valiant Davis still in the van, were
now close upon the breastworlIs; it
was too late for another volley, and
the confederates fell back in terror.
Right over the breastworks the cav

In the battle of Shelbyville, Tenn,
the right wing of Gen. Rosecrans' army
had driven the left wing of the confed-

seph Wheeler, into the town of Shelby
vile. The confederate force, which
numbered 3,Ooo, formed line just at
the outskirts of the town to defend the
stores. A battery of four guns pointed
north commanded the principal turn
pike. This battery was well support
ed by dismounted cavalry on the right
and left. Gen. Rosecrans decided to
attack the center and, if possible, ride
right over the battery. The Seventh
Pennsylvania cavalry and the Fourth
United States cavalry were selected for
the assault. The pike was SO narrow
that it was necessary to make the
charge in columns of four. Maj. Charles
