SOME SPIDER STORIES.

OF blood. The kind of web used for

that caught 4 mouse. 1 will admit,
right in the beginning, that this looks

greater claim to fame was his speech
in Congress about Duluth. the zenith

morOUsiy called it, which is very far
indeed from being anything nowadays
but plain statement of fact, as he
lived to see. Governor Knott made n
statement of the event and sent it to
Professor McCOok. whose authority
on the spider question nobody will dis

she had shared the mouse by the end
OF its tail. and while it was still alive

Building and FiIIing a sllo.

The main thing in building any silo.

seasoned timber there will be little

AS foundation for the silo make an
excavation fully three feet in depth
and at least two feet wider than the
silo walls. Fill this excavation with
small stones. and mix enough good &C.
ment with them TO make it solid and
firm. Then top over with mixture of
one part cement to two parts clean,
coarse sand. On this founds ton the
frame of the silo can be built. Such 4

way until several structures have
rotted and tumDled down. With Sood
chestnut slaves or lumber fitted and
matched snugly together The silo will
be well built and alright. The inside
of the silo should be painted with hot
gas tar and the outside w.yh metallic
paint. The roof should be made
double, with roofing paper spread be-
tween the walls and painted with Cra-
phite paint. In this way the silo will
shed water and prove practically as
tight as needed. Earring the inside OF
the silo not only helps to exclude air
and moisture. but it prevents rotting
of the wood and destroys insects that
live in many woods.
In filling the silo the corn should be
cut at the glazing period. The cutting
and filling should then be carried on as
rapidly as possible, so that the last Of
the crop will not get too old before it
can be harvested The corn for the
silo should be planted in rows about

GEN. CHAFFEE's GALLANT DEED
How He Gained Noted Distinction In
Fight with the Apnchos

Fight with the Apachos.
The battle of big dry wash" in the
summer of 1882. in which Gen. Chaffee
won distinction, is cherished by caval-
rymen as one OF the most gallant fights
in their arm OF the service. About $50
White Mountain Apaches, who had ia
ken to the warpath. were on one side
OF a canyon in the Mogollon plateau.
Chaffee a major, with a pursuing troop
OF the sixth cavalry, held the summit
of rocky hill commanding the en-
trance to the canyon. The battle went
on for hours. One of the scouts fell
some two score yards from where Chat
fee was standing. A second scout at
Chaffees elbow remarked that the
fallen man was done for, but the ma
Jor saw that he was only wounded
Come along" he said, "we'll fetch
him in"
Then he threw himself fat on the
ground and crawled toward the
wounded soldier. The scout followed.
Slowly and painfully Chaffee and his
companion, in the face of a concen-
trated fire from all the Indians, worked
their way to the wounded man and half
carried, half dragged him back within
the lines. The handful of troopers on
the rock thrilled with the deed that
had been performed. forgot the task in
hand, stopped fighting and began to
cheer. This made Chaffee furious, and
he shouted at the top of his voice:
Shut up that noise and go on shoot
ing!" Thus recalled to the work OF
lighting Indians, Chaffee's men again
turned their attention to their carbines
and, relieved in the nick Of time by
two troops of the third cavalry. slowly
they fought the foe to standstill. The
Apaches, almost to man. were killed
or captured. Chaffee was breveted a
lieutenant colonel for this days work.
