beneath the long folds of his
blanket, Wilson turned to the old
lady and said that he was extreme
ly sorry that the hen had disap-
peared on that night for he knew
that every man of the guard was
honest and would rather give the
lady the price of two chickens
than to deprive her of the feathers
off one. He was ordered to the
rear, but the old lady was not 30
easily baffled and declared that she
believed that Wilson was the man
who had stolen her hen.
At this the Colone' interrogatcd
Wilson again, who answered
with tears in his eyes and with an
air of injured innocence, saying
that it was the first time that he
had ever been suspicioned of
theft, and told how he had been
taught to read the Bible and say
his prayers at his mothers knee,
which so affected the Colonel that
he dismissed Wilson, thoroughly
satisfied of his innocence. But
no sooner had Wilson gotten to
the rear than the hen, which all
this time had remained passive
under his arm and blanket, began
to futter and squall Justify.
A man less determined and re-
sourceful would have confessed
and surrendered the hen, but not
SO with Wilson, who came for
ward the third time and stated
that it was true that he had hen
under his blanket at that very mo-
ment but that he had bought it of
Corporal Latimer and asked per-
mission to bring the Corporal in
person to testify to the truth Of
his statement.
He was given permission to do
this and was dispatched to find
the Corporal, to whom be confess
ed that he had stolen the hen and
with whom he agreed to share the

Here is a sensible bit of advice
that is going the rounds of the
State press: Paironize home in
dustry. The home man spends
his money at home. He bears
the burden Of local taxation. He
aids in the support of school and
church. He is part of the social,
political snd commercial life of
the place. In all local expendi-
lures the home man should be
given the preference. The home
man is your neighbor. You know
him. He caunot afford to de-
ceive you if he would. He will be
in business here tomorrow and
next week. What he sells you
may depend on. 1t pays to buy al
home in more ways than one."

By j. NJ. HoLBERT.

will give one instance to show
how a hungry Confederate soldier
could display rs much strategy
in procuring a meal and as much
daring in carrying ii out as he
could in fighting an enemy. In
the fall of 81, when Bragg's army
was halted for a few days near
Knoxville, Tennessee, General
Chalmers brigade was encamped
near Tinerstown, Z miles away
One of his regiments was quarter
ed near a fine farm, on which was
a splendid orchard. An old lady
and her two daughters lived on
the homestead and report said that
the husband and two sons We're in
the Yankee army. This may have
been circulated by the soldiers to
Justify their intent to forage in the
ample orchard. However that
may have been, the old lady COM
planned to the Colonel, who placed
a guard around her premises. This
uecessitated the encampment of
ten men near her house every
night. These men would occa-
sionally take supper there and pay
her one dollar each, in Confeder-
ate money, for the meal. One
night a member .1of the guard
named Wilson, while waiting in
the yard for supper to be announc-
ed, saw a chicken hen shelter un-
der an old fashioned loom for the
night. He made up his mind TO
have that chicken for his dinner
next day, and when he had finish
cd his supper, he took the unsus-
pecting hen under his arm aud
concealed it beneath his blanket,
which all the soldiers wore when
on guard duty in bad weather.
4 These blankets had holes cut in
the middle SO as to slip over the
head and envelop the body to the
knees. Wilson carried his hen to
guard quarters, and next morning
when the guard was formed to be
relieved the Colonel happened to
be present. The old lady came
out and complained that some one
had stolen the best hen she had.
my hen was under that loom at
sun down, Colonel" said the old
lady, "and some of your men who
have been here during the night
must have stolen her." The
Colonel looked cross, and vowed
that If he found one of his men to
be the culprit that he would pun
ish him severely. So he began at
the right and calling them one by
one, said Was it you? Was it your

and source of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces a feeling of
personal defilement, and the odor of
the breath is almost into1erable.
% The catarrhal poison brings on

deafness, the loss of smell, and Civ

reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
