EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We have
been very much interested for several
years in Isl and Shorty" and are sorry
they got so badly knocked out" in the
last battle. However, please have them
recover in time to make the march
through Virginia to Washington, with Sher-
mans army, and take part in the final
review. Would also like to see both pro-
NOTED to commissioned officers. Make
ST the Major and Shorty Captain of Co.
Q. Mr.. Jones particularly wants to hear
from the young Lieutenant that married
the old maid away back in Georgia, and
wants some one to write up the history
of Wilson's raid in The National Tribune.
Would also like to have story from
some one of Carter's troopers in the
Shenandoah campaign.-R. d. ROBINSON,

Parental Love Too Much for All Other Considerations.

No baby had ever come to sit at his
table-he laid this omission of Providence
very much to heart. Why came they to
Tom Splann, poor Tom Splann, without
a cent to buy the priests blessing, without
a crust to feed them save as he, generous
Jim Garrett, doled out in sort of char

claimed on one occasion, ''yez going under

stream against ye. Let go-aise her
up. Give me the little wan and I'll for
give We your debt and help ye."
1t was jocosely spoken, but with an
earnest tone which thrilled the heart of
Splann, big and true.
"Phat's that ye do be saying?" he an
swered, forcing laugh. Give ye the
apple O. me eye, bye? He's that dear to
the whole av us we'd be broke wild sor-

indorsed by all physicians. Now, in rea-
son, this was vastly preferable to his
former source of nourishment-but he
would have none of it. He protested
wildly in the best language at his COM
mand. In the end hunger lost him the
field, but the fight was gallant one.
BY 4 o'clock Mr.. Garrett had sent up
crib, baby carriage, high chair, and
dozens of things, each of which went to
the test of Stevies mouth, and was re-
jected with tears. From a worldly point
of view he had had promotions; but
babies-other peoples babies-are unsat-
isfactory creatures.
This particular baby grew more and
more restless as night approached. 1t
was quite late before he yielded to the in
evitable, and an hour later an unwary
movement of Mr.. CARROTS awakened
him. strengthened for the fray.
This time, with mind fully settled, he
declined the offensive bottle. He fought
with tossing arms and legs, with cries
which scared the higher at each attempt
at paciicatiOn.
Oh, dear, dear! Did Mr.. Garrett think
it could be collie that allied the creature?
Had they better give laudanum-or have
the doctor? She arose in her white robes,
distractedly pacing the floor, while Gar
rett followed after, vainly offering every
thing within reach. But all at once he
stopped, turning very pale.

fact that in Union. Conn.,, the mothers
have been recognized. Mr.. J. w. Corbin,
of New York City, gave the town SOL

touching inscription: Dedicated in CRATE

Listen! Me mother heard the Banshee
before
THAT was sobbing at their door, and
all at once fell to beating against the
panels with frantic, desperate hands.
Lave me have me baby" a voice called
distressfully. Lave me have the lamb!
What for would ye tear him loose from
me? Is it you, Mrs. Garrett, that can
hush him this minute? Open your door
to me-Open, l say! Let me Inlet me
in till me baby, acushla"
Mr.. Splann, Jr., recognized voice
familiar He ceased his shrieks, and as
Mrs. Garrett threw wide her door, ad-
! mitting a weeping, disheveled woman, he
broke into a crow of delight, and in an
instant was the good-tempered baby of
old.
The demented creature snatched him to
her heart, devouring him with kisses. But
in a moment the storm had spent Itself.
She stood up, trembling violently, and
made as though to relnquish her burden.
Its your pardon ask" she said, with
humble yet proud little courtesy. Il

But Nora pressed the baby back into
her arms.
Take him. she said softly. "Take
the lad! Sure, how hard-hearted was we
to try to rob ye! Right proud I'll be to
have we take him back. Och, the crying
av him! Ye can have him, and welcome!'
"And no hard feelings" Garrett in
serted, emerging from the closet. Take

Sure, all ahead is sunny for ye."
She smiled at them through her tears
trying to find a broken word. Yes, the

THAT WONDERFUL cHURN.

H. T. Marshall writes us as follows: II want
to add my testimony to the list of those who
have used the lightning chura. 1t does all that
they claim for it. You can churn easily in one
minute and get larger percentage of butter
than with ordinary churns. l never took the
agency for ything before, but so many of my
neighbors wanted churns that ordered so and
they are all sold" Other farmers can do as
well as Mr.. Marshall. No farmer can afford to
he without one of our churns. BY using it he
can make 25 per cent more butter than with his
old churn. Any intelligent farmer can easily
sell four or five churns every week in his own
township. Everyone who sees ais churn will
want one like it. We will mail circulars and
full particulars on demand. Mound City Churn

Who Knows Him?

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I desire
to know what became of Capt. Jesse Law.
of the 9th Ohio Battery. In 1862 or 63.
while his command was in camp on my
fathers farm at jamestown, Ky, mare
of his battery gave birth to colt, and
he presented it to the writer, who was
then but 10 years of age. 1 have never
heard of the Captain since this occur
renee. Though l have most of the records
of the rebellion, 1 fail to find his name
mentioned in same, and if you can en-
tighten us as to his fate 1 will appreciate
it. Thanking you in advance, am. D.

A Modern Cannery.
Century,

A modern cannery is a marvel Of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish is clean
ed, automatic machines do nearly all the
remainder Of the work, even, in some in
stances. filling the cans with a motion for
all the world like that that of two human
hands, one holding the can, the other
crowding it full of raw fish. 1 shall not
attempt to enter into a description of the
machinery; the can of fish is started roll
ing on its way, and one has the impress
sion that it continues to roll through ma
chine after machine, hardly touched by
human hands. 1t rolls into the cooker and
out again-even rolls itself into n bright
colored lakeland finally, somehow, rolls
into a packing box, ready to be loaded in
the car waiting at the door.

Mr.. bearing and a couple of friends
took an automobile ride, distance
of % miles and return, and made
the round trip in an hour and fif-
teen minutes. They attended the
Frontiers Day. at Cheyenne,
Wye, and witnessed the great rop-

rope wild steer and throw and
tie him in only So seconds.
They also saw stage coach hold
up by Indians, and many other in
teresting sights that were common
occurrences in the early history of
the Wild West. While they were
in Cheyenne, on the 25th day of
August, they encountered a real
live snow storm and the snow fell
rapidly for several minutes and al
most covered the ground. They
saw numbers of snow covered
mountains and many snow drifts
that were said to be 20 to 10 feet
deep. G. o. says that he would
advise anyone going out West to
take their winter clothing. He
says it is impossible to describe
the fine scenery in that country,
