 "We were barely in position when 1 heard a distant cannon, and the same instant saw the ball high in the air. As near as 1 could calculate, it was going to strike exactly where stood, and I dismounted with remarkable agility, only to see the missile of war pass sixty feet overhead. 1 felt rather foolish as l looked at my men, but a good deal relieved when I saw that they, too, had all squatted on the ground, and none of them were looking at me. | quickly mounted again and commanded them to stand up. We were ordered to charge soon after, and the enemy easily gave way before us, for which ] was most devoutly thankful. Chums

An Officers First Battle.

What are the feelings of an
 officer when for the first time he
 leads his men into battle? This
 is a question which the soldier himself alone can answer, and
 we suspect that a good many
 would be unwilling to go too closely into the subject. The hum of a rifle bullet, the shriek of shell, the rush of a cannon shot must be, and always has been, extremely trying to the in experienced warrior. A certain officer, who prefers on thls occa- sion to be nameless, has frankly described his first experience in
 battle. "We were advancing to the scene of operations, hesays.
 FOn entering a strip of wood it occurred to me that my men be- ing raw recruits, would not fight we'll on horseback, and so 1 or dered them to dismount. This, of course, stopped the whole body of the army behind the reg iment. While the men were lei surely tying their horses, an officer came up at a furious gait and asked peremptorily, 'What have you stopped here for and blocked up the whole road?' l saw the point in a moment, and bade my men move out of the wood. In the mean time my scabbard got itself hopelessly tangled in bush, and the more I tried to get it loose the more if stuck the faster So told my men to form at the edge of the wood and wait for me. Then l cut the straps and left my broken scabbard iii the bush, while, with the naked blade flashing in my hand, I rushed to the front. Not a man could I find. They were anxious to see the fun, and had run over the brow of the hill, and scattered along the whOlc

DOUrkeeper Too Much For Mansfield.

Nearly one hundred people fig ured in Richard Mansfield's pro- duction of "Cyrano de Bergerac" last season, and, in order to pre- vent any outsider from getting behind the scenes, he provided each member of the company with ticket not unlike those used by suburbanite commuters, which served as a means of ad- mittance to the rear stage en- trance and a tally for the salary list. In order to see if his orders were strictly enforced, Mansfield one evening presented himself at the door, but as he had no ticket the infexible guardian of the stage not only refused him ad- mittance, but proceeded to use force to make him move on. When the joke had gone far enough, Mansfield wrenched himself free from the grasp ot the burly custodian and asked, impressively:
 "Do you know who 1 am?"
 "No," replied the guard, eye ing the speaker with distrust "do you belong to this show"
 "No," laughed Mansfield, as he started to go away; "but the show belongs to me"
 The next day the incorruptible guardian received a raise fol carrying out his orders so un finchingly.-Chicago News.

Secretary Gage served longer as the head of the Treasury De- partment than any other man except Albert Gallatin and Alex ander Hamilton. He held office nearly five years. Albert Gal latin served longest, nearly twelve years. from 1901 to 1913. Alexander Hamilton's term was a little over five years, from 1789 to 1793. Under Secretary Gage the revenue and expenditures in one week exceeded those under Alexander Hamilton in a whole year.

mining and treatment for the gold and silver they carried. The Boston Journal for Investors in a recent issue commented edi torially as follows on Arizona's success:
 "The criticism of unsuccessful miners who did not dig down, that Arizona mines had no depth, has been disproved by the suc- cessful miners who have dug mines down to great depths. At the same time Arizona mines have been found to have great breadth as we'll as depth. The mines are notable for the enor- nous ore bodies that extended working has disclosed.
 "The great change in Arizona mines from what they were a dozen years since to what they are now, can be attributed prin- cipally to the increased value of copper and to the improvements in modern metallurgical methods.
 "Much Of the mining work going on in Arizona during the last two years consists in the opening of great metal l-bearing deposits and in their equipment with metallurgical plants. In nearly every county of the terri tory new mines have been opened, developed and equipped without the aggregate of this work at tracting attention. In nearly every county in the territory a large proportion of the old mines are being reopened. This is true, not only of the old mines that were worked as free-milling gold and silver propositions down to the zone of experiencing Sul- phideS and then abandoned, but is equally true of the great silver mines, which have had the same kind of a record of free-milling exploitation of upper levels and abandonment by reason of the incoming of water with depth or the exhaustion of the first bon anza ore body.
 "The new Arizona mining Is availing itself of the methods that have proved effective in other regions. Deep shafts are being sunk and the best types ot hoisting and pumping machinery are being installed. Milling and smelling plants are being built to save all the different values that complex ores contain. Min ing is being made a business o- manufacturing rather than ar opportunity for gambling. | cannot help being made profit able business. Copper can bt manufactured very cheaply il Arizona.

Failure of a co-owner in a mi

Failure of a co-owner in a min ing location to contribute his proportion of the assessment work creates a forfeiture, after the advertisement of the failure, as provided by the statute, and after neglect by the defaulting co-owner to pay his proportion and costs within ninety days after the publication of notice to pay is completed. The forfeit ure is to the other cO-owners who do pay and title is vested in them by operation of the statute. If an outside party, not a CO., owner, pays the defaulter's share and costs of publication under an agreement to have the de- faulter'S share in the event of the latter's failure to redeem, he can only get title by deed from the other co-owners- The deed is best made after the expiration of the ninety-day period during which redemption could be made.

krizuaa'S Recent Stride h Mining.

It is interesting to note the progress made during the last few years by Arizona in the de- yclopment of its mines. Old mines-the great silver and gold producers of twenty and thirty years ago-have been reopened to work greater depth, and to se- cure the experiencing ores that were then left in the mine as too base or too low to justify

disease. One false step, one mistake, and the attack comes swift and sudden. The mistake which commonly opens the way for all attack by disease is neglect of the symptoms of stomach trouble. When eating is followed by undue full ness, belclliiIgs, sozr or bitter risings, etc, disease is attacking the stomach.
 The best way to frustrate such an at- tack IS to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and makes the body strong and healthy.

Cutting Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be cut when not more than one-tenth of the plants are showing bloom. Start to cut at this early stage and. the field of hay for the season will be much greater than if the alfalfa is cut nearer maturity. Every pound of hay secured will be worth more for feed. Once a strip through a field of alfalfa was cut when one-tenth was in bloom, while another strip was cut after full bloom was past. The strip cut early was nearly ready to mow the second time when that cut after full bloom was being harvested the first time. The strip cut early grew vigorously through the season, made three mowings and good aftermath. The strip cut after full bloom gave a low yield the first cutting and did not grow sufficiently to yield a good second crop. Early cutting seems to invigorate the plant. The late cutting of the first crop seems to injure the plant more than at any other time.
 The first time successful clover growers try alfalfa they often ruin the stand by waiting to cut until it reaches the stage at which clover is usually harvest ed. The great value of alfalfa is the large amount of protein it tcontains- material which is ab- solutely necessary for the form ation of blood, lean meat and milk. The higher the protein in alfalfa the more valuable the crop. We found the effect of cutting alfalfa at different stages as follows:
 Coming in bloom, 18.5 , per cent protein; half in bloom, 14.6, and in full bloom, 12.9. This proves that alfalfa cut in the first bloom will give the greatest yield and feeding value. The leaves of alfalfa contain more than three times as much protein as the stems. A ton of alfalfa leaves contains as much protein as 1900 pounds of bran. Every care should be taken in curing alfalfa
 10 save the leaves. The digesti- bility is changed less by the pro- cess of curing than those of any other plant. Dry alfalfa hay in the midst of summer is about as palatable to a dairy COW as Ken lucky blue grass. The ideal way to feed alfalfa is as hay. The only way that alfalfa hay is like ly to deteriorate in value is l through exposure to bad weather
 or by poor handling. If fifty
 per cent of the leaves is lost in
 the handling, as is frequently the case, the remainder will be l composed of a larger percentage
 of indigestible vegetable fiber. Molding or heating destroys some of the most valuable nutri ents. Properly cured and cared for, alfalfa does not deteriorate with age, but improves.-Den yer Field and Farm.

Bilious Collie.

H. Seever, a carpenter and builder of Kenton, Tenn, when suffering intensely from an at tack of bilious collie. sent to a near by drug store for something to relieve him. The druggist sent him bottle of Chamber lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr- hoea Remedy, three doses of which effected a permanent cure. This is the only remedy that can be depended upon in the most severe cases of collie and cholera morbus. Most druggists know this and recommend when such a medicine is called for.
