His vessel was wreck, but Mr.. Pep
pard was not discouraged. He made
new spindles, repaired the damage, and
in a few days he and three compan-
ions were ready to start. Profting by
his first experience, Mr.. Peppard chose
day to start when the wind was
blowing only about ten knots an hour.
The first day they went so miles.
Their route lay northwest through
Kansas and across the southwestern
part of Nebraska until they struck the
South Platte river, and from there
they went toward Denver.
'Our best time was two miles in
four minutes" said Mr.. Peppard in
describing the incidents of the Jour
ney eve could not run faster than
that rate, as the boxing would have
heated. One day we went so miles in
three hours and in doing so passed 625
teams."-Kansas City Journal

"Silencing a Gun. !"

There is great deal Of ignorance as
to what "silencing a gun" means. A
gun is silenced when the gunners are
disabled or driven back and the gun or
gun carriage damaged. 1t is common
enough phenomenon for weapons
which have thus been silenced to re-
open fire after repairs have been made,
the gunners rallied or fresh gun crew
obtained. 1t is rare thing for a gun
to be SO damaged by hostile fire that it
cannot be refitted and brought into ac
ton again. 81 saw" says Prince Kraft
Of the German artillery in the battle Of
Gravelotte, many guns during the
cannonade lying miserably on the
! ground 'winged'-that is, with a broken
wheel. But not one was withdrawn.
The injured guns were always speed
lily repaired with the help of the wag-
ons, which were near, SO that at the
close of the battle l could not tell eX-
actly how many pieces had been put
temporarily out of action."-Army and

to use the literature furnished by men
of the south for circulation in ONO, be
talked out in meeting and used some
pretty strong and foroible language. 1t
