past thirty years, and who, in all

Performed by Comrades ut Night
Spot Carefully Marked

The Charlotte Observer of today,
from advance sheets of the Lincoln
Courier, gives an account of the
burial of Lieutenant Shipp, by Lieut..
Barnum, Adjutant of the regiment
and a detail OF men, as told in a
letter to Mrs. Shipp from Lieut.. Bar
mum, who was himself wounded, and
at the time ofwriting was on board

bringing the wounded home.
He wrote that in passing over the
battlt field about noon Friday, July

''shot through the body, probably
| through the heart, and must have
died almost instantly" About fifty

| That night about 10 O'Clock
Lieutenant Barnum went with a
detail OF men to bury his friends
His intention was to lay them eide
by side in the same grave, but he
could not find Lieut.. Smiths body
it having evidently been found an(
buried by some other friend
Lieutenant Barnum and his party
dug a grave and in it placed tn,
body of his friend, and then, "know
iDg," he writes, "that he was {
member of the church, and being {
member myself, l said the Lord

laid him in it,"
Lieutenant Barnum says that a
the head of the grave he placed ,
board with the inscription:
Lieutenant W. E. Ship. Tent

The bee life is longer or shorter just In
proportion to the labor it performs.
Disturbing bees during cold weather Is
one of the most disastrous things that can
be done.
A locality plentifully supplied with
clover and Eastwood is paradise for the
beekeeper and his bees.
You need be seldom troubled with

out before they are sealed over.
The workers are dwarfed female bees
and SO small that they never become i'm
pregnated and do not lay eggs.
Bees are the best friends OF the growers
of small fruits because they fructify the
flowers and cause the fruit to mature.
Honey improves with age. The older
IL is the finer the flavor. Comb honey
should be kept in moderately warm room.

legal Discrimination Against Women.

Legal Determination Against Women.
The law which makes the nationality

has worked much, hardship in this coun
try as we'll as abroad. But one Of the
most fragrant cases of injustice arising
from this humiliating status is cited by
Agnes E. Cook in The Woman's Signal
as occurring at Gibraltar, the British
milit ary station ON the Mediterranean.
No alien can live in Gibraltar without
a special permit, SO if a British girl
marries Spanish subject she passes out
with him to live in Spain, and neither
she nor her chill iren, even though she
be a widow, can return. Her male rela-
tives can marry Spanish wives and take
them into Gibraltar, but she is an alien
forever.
The case referred to is that of a Brit
fish girl who married Spaniard named
Garzon. He was sufficiently useful to
the British to be allowed to live there
by special permit. Last year he died,
and it would have seemed very proper
for his widow to have remained with
her parents in Gibraltar, who were very
anxious to make home for her and to
have her with them. Her baby was born

possible and legitimate outcome of the
unjust discrimination against the mar
ried woman. If men had deliberately
