Statement Made That "Hookey JIM

Days After His Death.

At the Topeka insane asylum there is
a man of slight figure who answers to
the name of J. L. Kennedy. He is not
insane but is entrusted with the care
of the insane as an attendant and his
work is on the most violent ward in
the institution, B. I.
This is the man who rests under the
charge of having pounded 'Hooky'' Jim
into insensibility from the effect of

thing and that is that Kennedy is a

A MODEST HERO.
The Terrible Ride of Gen. Judson Kill
pntrIck'H Young Orderly
and PrOteRe.

In so great war as that which
brought the states into closer bonds
of union there were thousands of
heroic deeds that would have been
preserved in history but for the mag
nitude of the conflict and the hun
dreds of thousands who participated.
Down on little farm in Ohio there
is a man who works from sun to sun
and seeks to fortify against the in
evitable rainy day. His hands are
gnarleRs his shoulders bent, his face
tanned and his coal black hair streaked
with gray. He lives the same routine
existence as his neighbors, yet he en-
tered the civil war as handsome lad
as offered his life in that terrible
crisis. Dashing and daring to reck-
lessness, he soon attracted the atten-
tion of Fitzpatrick, the fiery cavalry

Looking Out for Comfort.

Some thirty-odd years ago, during q
course of acQuaintanceship between
the armies of the civil war, in which
both taught and learned, the grays
were the teachers in one important re-
spect They We're not long in realiz-
ing that looks were of very small ac-
count in war, and that the nearest pos
sible methods of comfort on the march
were desirable as OF great advantage.
Instead OF initiating the union boys in
wearing cumbersome uniforms and
bearing awkward packs, they wore
short pants stuffed into long socks,
which prccluded the disagreeable COM
munication of dust to the body, and
instead of regulation caps that pressed
on the head like weights of iron and
offered no resistance to the heat and
no prot, elton from the glare, they
wore large slouch hats, which greatly
mitigated those discomforts.- Nash

man, whose impetuous charges so
often realized upon forlorn hope.
Want, for that was the boys first
orderly, and the relations that sprang
from their kindred natures was more
like that of father and son than that
of superior and subordinate. More
than once their tempers clashcd and
the orderly was threatened with
everything from guardhouse to being
drummed out of camp, but he received
nothing harder than words, and disa-
greement between the two was short
lived.
One night the general wanted some
important message delivered to head
quarters, vital movement in the
morning depending upon the answer.
There were any number of brave men
prepared to undertake the dangerous
mission, but the orderly insisted upon
his first claim to the honor. Fitzpatrick
tried to cover his feeling by the rough

ter, but he knew that Want would go

fear for his safety. But his persistency
won the day and the general showed
the side of his nature that no one
would suspect when he was in the heat
of battle where, said Gen. Joe Wheel
er's men, Fitzpatrick was nothing less
than demon. He walked with Want
into the darkness between the camp
and the picket line, delivered the dis
patches, tried to cheer him in broken
voice, made the boy mount the power
full black horse that was only less IA
nous than the fearless raider himself,
and bade the lad Godspeed as the
charger sprang away in response to
the word.
1t was ride through death on every
hand, for it was the enemy's ground
and jealousy guarded. A detour would
avoid one danger, shot would an
nounce another, and then the orderly
lay along the neck of the horse as he
sped away on the errand that meant
so much for his master and his gallant
troopers.
Early the next morning horse and
boy appeared at the generals head
quarters. He had not even tried to
sleep and there was almost womanish
sympathy in his greeting as his own
strong arms lifted Want from the sad
die. The boys right arm hung limp
bullet had ridged his scalp and it was
by instinct rather than reason that
Wants left hand clung to the name OF
the trembling black steed, covered
with foam and blood that dripped
from his painting sides. The message
had been delivered and the answer re.
turned; and it meant much for the
cause in which the terrible risk haG
been taken. Want had gallantly done
the wogk of hero, yet he never was
induced to tell of the ride that he did
not give credit to the horse.-Detroit

bottom cross piece near the right siGe,
the upper end slipping back and forth
between the cross pieces that hold the
tops of the two front uprights in
place. This lever is thrown to the
right when open for the animal to
enter. AS soon as the head passes it
is pushed to the left side and fastened
as tight as required by small iron
pin slipped through the cross pieces
at top back of it.
AS soon as the head is fastened a
hand spike is slipped through the cage
back of the animal, and another over
the neck to hold the head down. These
remain in place usually without hold
ing, the operator standing in front
while taking off the horns. The small
est animal having horns, up to a bull
weighing 1880 pounds, has been de-
horned in this sized cage. Animals
weighing up 1,2OO pounds pass right
through the cage when the holding
lever is thrown back against the right
side. Cows heavy in calf and larger an
imals back out of the cage.
The maker of this cage has re-
modelled it three times to get it as
described, and has used it nine years.
The first year he dehorned $50; his
work now running from 1000 to 5000
from October through March.
Animals dehorned early in the sea-
son heal quickly because in good flesh.
AS an experiment, used saw and clip
pers on seven steers, cutting one horn
off with clippers the other with saw.
| The sawed stub healed in one-half
the time required by the clipped. The
| latter crushes inside of the horn,
which must decay and come out be-
fore the wound can heal. The op-
orator we refer to loads the cage
across a common gravel box on a
wagon and travels to convenient
| points, where the cattle are driven to
him. He is a rapid workman. With
two or three assistants TO help drive
and hold he once took horns off 33
head of two-year-olds in 81 minutes.
| Another time he dehorned 60 head
| of 700-pound cattle in 40 minutes. The
cage can be set down at any cons
venient place, at scale pen, opening
of a shed, or end of lane. The accom-
panying illustration will give the read

Not All beetles Are bad.

The common ground beetle devours
cutworms in great numbers, and the
soldier bug and the wheel bug are
noted for their predaceous instincts,
They live upon whatever worms, slugs
and insects they can find in the gar
den. Even our wasps are great insect
destroyers, and if we could overcome
our natural prejudice against them we
should find that they deserve to live.
They will not sting one unless cornered
or frightened in some way; but they
will destroy slugs and tent caterpillars

Expensive Sort of Economy.

Reports from south New Jersey
say that some of the stone roads are
in bad condition. The freeholders,
who have them in charge, are farm
ers, and will not look after them while
busy with farm work, nor employ a
supervisor to care for them. This
will prove an expensive policy, as
thorough system of care and re-
pair is essential to maintain stone
roads in condition and secure the
greatest efficiency from them.
In measure high culture helps to
produce better fruit and prevent rot.
