A BOOK.

So far as our experience goes, the
handsomest advertising pamphlet,
catalogue, or booklet, sent out for
the inspection of farmers only that
has yet been issued is Zone Hundred
Harvester Scenes all Around the
World" sent out by the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago, Ill.
It is an ornament to any table. OF
course it incidentally refers to the
merits of the world famous McCor-
mick Machines-a crime of which
most enterprising farmers r them
selves guilty.

Miscellaneous.
COME AWAY FROM HEAH.n

A gathering of the veterans of
both armies-Union and Confeder-
ate-a few years ago brought out
many amusing stories of army-ife.
One, reported in the Chicago Times
Herald, and told by Mayor Pelham
of Atlanta, illustrates the devotion
OF the negro b-ody-servant to his
Southern master.
"There yer four of US boys" the
major said, ''and we left home to-
gether to save the confederacy. Our
mother had the proper things, as she
thought, packed for US, and also sent
along a faithful old negro, who had
been prominent in our bringing up,
to take care of us in the army and
wait on u.s. The last words she
said to him at the lawn gate were:
"'Now take good care of my boys,
Tom,' and Tom was as certain that
he would be successful in carrying
out her repeated injunctions as he
ever had been in former years. that
he would bring US home safe from a
pOssum hunt.
"'Dona you nevah be Uneasy bout
dat, Mis- Sue. 1 gwineter bring des
heah youngsters back safe en- SCUM,
en- dey gwineter have de best dey is
in de lam
''Much sooner than we expected,
we got into battle, and it was a de-
cidedly sharp affair.
"After the brush was over, up
came old Tom, ashy but determined.
His clothing was torn, and he was
loaded down with our belongings.
Nearly breathless with fright,
fatigue and Indignation, he ex-
claimed:
"'Look heah, Marse Peter, 1 want
you to come right away from heah

that we couldn't go home. We had
come out to fight, and must stay.
But all my explanation and remOn-
STRANGE was lost on him. He per-
sisted that he would bundle us out
of that, anyhow.
"'You stan right whar you is till

Charles is, en- I gwineter fine Marse
