FITZPATRICK IN A TIGHT PLACE.
How He Found a Ford when Pur-
Aued by federaf

sued by Confederates.
The late Gen. Judson Kilpat~ic'y was
caught in a tight place near Chattan-
ooga during the Civil War. The gen
eral, with his cavalry division. was
outside of the federal lines on a little
raiding business. Being hard pressed
by the Confederates. it was necessary
for him to ford the Tennessee river
in order to escape. He knew there
was a ford, but did not know where
to find it. Riding up to a plantation
house. he saw a fine looking old gem
tleman, with the ladies of his family,
sitting on the veranda. He at once
demanded that the venerable planter
should lead him to the ford, which the
latter positively refused to do. There
upon Gen. Fitzpatrick told him that
unless he complied with the request
he would be shot in a minute. At this
one of the ladies exclaimed indignant
~: General. have you a father"
Fitzpatrick replied: "Yes, l have. and
a mother. too. and they have a boy.
and that boy is in a id tight place.,

The British said it wasn't a fair fight,

others Asleep, but it don't matter
Whether it was Fair or not. Our BUSH

Braced him up was Henry Taylor, and
a few days after the Battle the Great

CHUNKS OF HISTORY.
BY A Chunk of A Boy.

1t was a cold Day. 1t was the winter
which made it Cold. General Wash
ington had been Sitting for hours and
hours, saying nothing to Nobody.
There was times when he was Stern,
and when he was Stern nobody dared
speak to him.
why is our General so Stern to-
day?" asked one patriot soldier of an
other. as he Shivered in the wintry
Blasts.
Because it Looks as if our Cause
was lost" was the reply. "We are
Ragged and Hungry and Lonesome,
and the British have sent word !i:at
they will lick us out of our boots next
week"
81 will go in and see our General ard
Brace him up said the first Slider,
and presently he was Knocking on the
door.
"What do We Here?" demanded
Washington with a terrible Frown or
his pale brow as the soldier stool Be-
fore him. Know we not that | could
have We Hung on a tree for Thus in
truding upon me?"
General, 1 have come to Brace you
up replied the soldier. While the
are walking around on our heels the
game is not yet lost. When a man sets
out to win Liberty he must not give
Tn. Let's have a little talk and see
if we Can't make it Hot for The Brit
ish."
So the Stern warrior and the noble
soldied sat Down and had a long C1at,
and when it was Finished Washington
pounded on the table with his fist ard
exclaimed:
ct can be Done, and it shall be
Done, Yes, on this night we shall win
Liberty and Freedom. How did you
come to think of the plan?"

WINTER REMEDIES FOR IN
: JUnIOUS INSECTS.

It is not altogether easy to realize
that all the diff rent kinds Of insects
which were St en- flying and crawling
about during the summer, are still in
existence, III one form or another, dur
ing the winter " hat was then moth
or butterfly may now he al egg, FAST
ened 10 the t~ig If a tree, or a worm
under the bark, or pupa in ground
The beetles, which were then running
across the path. may now be hidden
away in some hole The bees, then so
busy or flowers, are now deep in
their subterranean tunnels. The grass
hoppers exist as eggs in little pockets
in the soil. And SO, whatever may
have happened to the "individuals" of
the summer time, the ''speciesL. are
s i'll with US, quies cent but alive,
and ready to appear again with the
wasm weather.
Though our enemies the INJECT pests
may be quiet at this season Of the year,
IL is TO reason why we should he.
They got alcad of us, perhaps. during
the summer; low is our chance to get
even. Many of them are now at
their lowest ebb. and one individual
killed now is worth many deaths later
On.
For example, take the plant bugs;
the squash bug or the false chlnch bug.
One winter day, | broug hit in an arm

had come IN with the wood, that had
produced the peculiar odor. HE
Female squash-bug lives during the
winter under piles Of wood, boards,

trapped and killed. Each female so
dealt with would have been the mother
of lively brood later on.
At Las Cruces, ore winter, was
turning over the dead leaves and trash
which had gathered along garden

Later on, in the spring time, these
bugs were found in niyrads llr a
strawberry patch not for away, doing
considerable damage. 1t was then too
late 20 do much with them; the trash
should all have been swept up and
burned during the winter, and the
bugs so destroyed or compelled to go
else where.
It is to be remarked, with regard 70
the last case, that the owner OF the
strawberries kept his place perfectly
clear. The bugs found shelter with his
noighbors during the cold weather,
