In the New York Geological society's

were until recently two young red

When saw them they were about two
weeks old, and rather timid; in ieuk.
they were very much like bushy-taileI
and red-eared rats, though quite pre-
possessing. The mother had byrroweG

was nice and cold and damp (this was
in the carly spring., and there she
kept her cubs. 1t was rot an ideal
home for them. but she preferred il to
her man-made kennel, relates a writer
in Woman's Home Componion.
In order to be photographed the
cubs were removed from their dens b.,

others. Then they were put into the
nenaiel. which was warm and com
Portable. For this that very night they
paid forfeit with their lives; the next
morning naught but their masks re-
mained. The parents had killed and
eaten them. For this reason it is next
TO impossible to rear young foxes in
raptivity; sooner or later it will be-
come imperative that they be handled
or moved, and then they die.

PRIZE-FIGHTING IN ARMY.

The war department is reluctant to
commit itself upon the subject OF
prize fighting in the army Some time
ago the comma nding general of the q
rartment of Missouri requested de
c:eion Of the department upon the
question of the~right of an enlisted
man in the army to participate as a
PRINCIPAL in an athletic boxing con
test. In reply, he was informed That
''there are some subjects as to which
it is impossible for the war depart
mei.t to prescribe a uniform rule, and
that this is one of them. But apart
from the strict law in the case, it is Il
matter of common information that
local sentiment is divided ,iu-resrect
to contests of the kind described, and
this adds to the difficulty of framing
rule, were there no legal obstacles in
the way Of its preparation"
There being no legal power in the
department. to establish rule on the
subject, the acting secretary of wa,
decides that the question presented be
left to the regulation of the post con.

VIM. Ubelaker; President Of the Lake

1927 North Clark ST., Chicago, ILL.,, the
following letter:
The Perrlna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemcn-For years past when I
have been exposed to wet or inclement
weather, my chest would hurt me and
would have serious indigestion, and
would be laid up for day or two, caus-
ing inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
0 try Peruna, as it had helped him, and
found that bottle cured me.
If feel badly now I at once take two
,r three doses, and I find it keeps me in
fine health. Peruna is worthy of every
ones corfidence.-WM.U UBELAKER.
1t IS only just ordinary good, common
sense {, provide against inclement
weather. If you have the slightest cold,
cough, sneczing, or any other indication
that you arc "undcr the weather." few
doses of Peruna will put you right.

DIPLOMAS FOR SERVANTS.
Association Mt Chicago Plans to Have
&c raluate' Cooks and
LaundreSses.

According to plans made by the
Chicago Housewives association serv-
ing maids-may hereafter be obliged
to hold diplomas issued by the associa-
tion in order to secure positions in
the homes of m emil bers of the organiza-
ton. This plan, announced by the
women at their meeting, is the latest
suggestion for the solution Of the
servant girl problem.
The rules regulating the granting
Of the diplomas are to be definite. The
formal testimonials will be granted to
i maid only after she has beet,-in one
family for a year and has performed
her duties with certain degree of
proficiency. Real parchment will be
used and the holders will be described
as satisfactory" good" or remark
ably efficient"
Graduate cooks "waitingmaids." :"
''1adies' maids and 'laundresses" will
be the classes of household women
servants. The association is enthusi-
astic over it's new project.
1--WE have graduate nurses to look
after US when we are sick" said one of
the members. "Why shouldn't we have
graduate maids to look after us when
we are well and keep us in that condi-
ton"
A reform in the social nomenclature
denoting employer and employe was
also introduced, and in he future "mis-
tress," "6omestic.'' Servant and
''girl" may be dropped from the voca bu
larry of families of the members. MA
tron'' and maid the association in
sists, are the proper terms to use.

Johnston and other generals, but he
had received no official notice of
these facts from the war depart
ment. Gen. Brown, under flag of
truce, informed the confederates Of
the state of affairs about Washing
ton and Richmond, at the same time
inviting them to come in and lay
down their arms, as the war was GER
tainly over.
"Gen. Slaughter refused to act in the
affair of such Importance until he was
better informed. Thereupon Col. Bar
ret, at the head of a considerable force.
was dispatched to break up the ene-
my's camp. A hot battle ensued, and,
curiously enough, most of the fighting
was done on the old field of Palo Alto,
where Gen. Taylor achieved his victory
over the Mexicans nearly 20 years be-
fore. The French soldiers encamped
on the southern shore of the Rio
Grande were in sympathy with the
southerners, and they kept Gen.
Slaughter posted as to the movements
of the federal troops. Several spirited
encounters occurred, and the loss s'us-
tained by some of the colored regi-
ments must have been severe.

crates were frequently informed by

'When the engagement was hottest,
Gen. Slaughter received dispatches and
the French sent him bundle of news
papers. Fully satisfied that the cause
for which they were fighting was for
ever lost, he ordered the firing to cease.
At that particular moment neither
side could have claimed any advantage,
but both armies began to retire from
the field at the same time.
Gas Capt. S. H. Barton, in command
of the rear guard, was slowly riding

LAST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Fired by Texan In a Hot Battle
with Yankees on the Old PalO

A Texan in Washington tells the
Post that the last shot of the re-
bellion was fired by Capt. S. 81. Bar
ton, now prosperous ranchman in
western Texas. He says:
''When line of the confederate
cavalry was slowly retiring from the

the gray had met in deadly encoun-

in his saddle, and, throwing his gun
to his shoulder, fired. 1t proved to
be the last shot of the last battle,
and it was certainly the last shot of
the long war. Barton was a captain
in the confederate army and was
held IN high esteem by his superiors
and loved by the brave Texans he
led.

GETTYSBURG, THE THIRD DAY.

Twas noon, and on the field of battle,
The guns were silent, hushed. and still.
Save row and then the muskets' rattle,
From the picket lines, on ridge and hill.
All through the night the lines reforming.
Strong lines of cannon, anG of men as
we'll,
Now each commander waits the storming,
Then from the ride. where Lee had formed
His lines of cannon with their braZen
throats,
Turned to the hi1l soon to be stormed;
Burst forth a roar, and DER the field Of
oats
Swept the fierce gale of shell and shot.
Then answering came the thunder sound,
As cannon vieG with cannon hot,
TIL all the distant hills resound.
Now comes a lull amid the storm of fire
And all the hosts the respite gladly greet:
When from the woods a mass in gray attire,
Five thousand strong, come forth grim
Death to meet.
In double line, if on dress parade,
They march, nor finch, as on each side
Their even lines are torn and frayed,
AS comrades fell, and falling died.
Oh. men of valor, true ye are,
From Picket down to private least;
And high above the smoke of war
Ihe nations on your valOr feast,
But on the hill are men as true,
And shot and shell pour out as fas..,
AS gunners in their garb of blue
Stand by their guns until the last
But on they move; the columns newly
drest,
AS in their ranks the guns sad havoc
make,
For, from the batteries on the crest
The cannon roars make earth to quake
And from the ranks come bursts OF
flame,
And rank by rank the soldiers fall,
Each cannon seems to NOW a lane
With canister, and grape, and ball.
Tis man to man. and breast to breast,
For upward climb the ranks of gray,
To reach at last the hilltcp's crest
= And find foeman brave they.
They waver, all in vain they strive.
Back from the~crest now step by step.
No reenforcements can arrive,
So, backward from the hill are swept
The day was lost, and yet the day was
The ground is sacred in our eyes to-
day.
Our hearts rejoice at deeds of valor done
BY those who wore the blue, the gray,
For as Ger the storied hills we roam.
And live the scenes Of war again,
The flag, dear emblem of our home,
Waves Ger the men of Georgia and Of
Maine.
For men are men. and human breast
Pierced by the implements of war
Lets loose the life blood. and they sink
70 rest
While yet the triumph is afar.
So of the thousands that went forth thai
day,
From out the wood. in valor strong and
true,
So few returned, the rest they lay
Down where~they fell beneath the night
and dew.
