every time you plow it and jist wait
till er shower of rain comes and sor-
ter settle it down, the dirt will wash

tfkktk tth+ tkk

After all it was the mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts on both sides
that suffered the most in their awful
anxiety for, and often in the loss of,
those who made life dear.
Now and then some brave woman
made her way to the scene of carnage,
TO bury or nurse dear one, says the
American Tribune.
We have before us letter written
by wife from the battlefield of Co.
rinth, whittier she had gone to visit
her husband, who belonged to Gen.
Grants command.
The letter so wildly portrays the
narrowing scenes of war, that l shall
make no excuse for giving it in full.
1t is dated October g. 1862, and reads as
follows:
"Oh, my friend! How can tell you
of the tortures that have nearly crazed
me for the last three days. Pen is
powerless to trace. words weak to con
vey one tithe of the misery have en-
dured. / thought myself strong be-

"But do not wonder at it. NV dear

death. | have lost all hope of saving
him, though ! thank God for the priv
ilege of being this moment by his side.
All about me the brave sufferers lie
moaning in agony.
.The surgeons have been busy all
day, and still many of the wounded
of yesterday are lying uncared for on
the field where they fell.

only of Fred. Then | got word that
his regiment had been hotly pressed
by the enemy, and that he was
forced to fall back.
Late in the afternoon | succeed

afterward.

"Oh! How shall describe the search

1t was madness. But all night long
I staggered among bleeding corpses,
over dead horse, mangled limbs, shat
tered artillery, and everything that
goes to make up the horror of battle
field after the conflict is over. Search
parties with torches were removing
the wounded all night.

A VALENTINE STORY.

had really chosen with great discrim-
ination. The price startled him con-
siderably, but he wasn't going to say
so. I've just paid a good round sum
for that cultivator, and 1 won't kick
at this"
He carefully placed the bonnet-box
under the wagon seat as he rode
home that night. To tell the truth,
he exceedingly dreaded the presenta-
| ton. Susan wasn't accustomed to
this sort of thing, like Sans wife,
| and he didn't know how she'd take
it. But in spite of these forebodings,
there was a pleasurable excitement
| in the unusual sensation that he was
taking home a present to his wife.
"a valentine" he said, chuclllin5.
| (He pronounced it volentine, but
what's the difference?)
He didn't produce the bonnet as
soon rs he got home. He waited till
after supper when the chores were
all done. Then he sat down by the
table and began to read the weekly
paper he had brought out.
But the reading was failure, and
he sat and watched his wife over the

paper till she said: What in crea.
tion's the matter with you tonight,
Dave Robinson? Is there anything
wrong with my looks? You've been
a starin' at me like all possessed"
Dave gave an embarrassed laugh
and retired behind the paper again.
Suddenly he spoke: Did you know
it's Valentines day, Susar?"
"Bless the man, does he think I'd
be apt to remember Valentines day,
with all I've got to think of? L
b'lieve, though, 1 did hear the chill
dren a-tallkin' about it. Whatever
put it in your head, Dave?"
"Oh, heard about it downtown,
and, Susan-Susan-I met Sam Scott
to-day and-and he was a-buyin' a
present for Milly and calm it a val
entine. 1t struck me twas a pretty
nice idee, and as I'm as able any day
to buy my wife present as he is,
why-I bought-you-this bonnet"
And here he produced the box.
"Open it, Susan. Why don't you
open it? Here, give it to me-" for
the poor woman's hands were shak-
ing so that she couldn't unite the
string. There, now! What do you
think of that for bonnet?"
Susan had found enough voice now
to say: "Why, Dave! Why, Dave
Robinson!" over and over. But she
was pleased; it was easy to see that.
"You oughtn't to have done it," she
said, as she held the pretty bonnet
on one hand, and turned it round
and round carefully. "It's too good
for me, Dave, and 1 expect it cost a
heap"
"Never mind what it cost" an
swered her husband, heartily. "Put
it on, Susan, and let's see if it be-
comes you. BY George, that milliner
woman just hit it. 1t suits you to a
dot. You look ten years younger"
And truly she did. But l think
something besides the bonnet brought
that pretty flush to her cheek, and
brightness to her eyes.
Happiness is wonderful rejuvena-
tor, and "women like to be remem-
bered by their husbands"
Susan turned away from the little
looking-gloss and tenderly placed the
bonnet in it's box. "I'll fix my hair
little different when 1 wear it
more like L used to-" she said. And
then, going over to Dave, who was
pretending to read his paper, she
timidly--very timidly, for they were
not demonstrative couple-lSissed
the little bald spot on his head.
THANK you, Dave, for remember
ing me-" she said softly; and her
husband had his reward.
If he had told his thoughts, which
were supposed to be on the paper,
they would have been as follows:
Lets see, what's the next anniver-
sary day? Oh, yes, it's Easter. Well,
she shall have another keepsake
then."-Ladies' World, New York.

bull in china shop. But he wasn't
going to back out now, and went
bravely up to the counter and stated
his errand.
"A bonnet for your wife? Oh, yes.
1 think we can suit you," said the
pretty young lady, with a smile.
'What style is she? 1 mean, what
color are her hair and eyes?" as
poor Dave appeared helplessly dazed.
"Why-why she's got light hair,
rather on the reddish order, and her
eyes are blue" he stammered. AS he
spoke, he seemed to see Susan as she
looked when he married her. Her
hair was SO fluffy and curly, and her
eyes such a pretty, innocent blue.
30 hadn't thought of it for years;
he had been too busy.
"Well, them" said the little mil
liner, II feel sure this bonnet will be
becoming to your wife. Blue is its
prevailing color, and this particular
shade goes nicely with such hair and
eyes. Don't you think SO, sir?"
Poor Dave was completely out of
his depth, but he answered bravely
that he agreed with her, and would
take the bonnet, which the milliner

1T RAN HIM HOME.
The Colonel Got n jolt That Sent Him

Score.

Among the visitors to Secretary
Hay recently was Brig. Gen. Andrew
Burt, U. S. A., retired, known
throughout the west as Col. Andy
Burt" Preferring an active caree"
to one of clerical duties in the de-
partment, he has always chosen and
secured posts upon the frontier.
Col. Burt tells on himself story
that is illustrative both of his dem
ocratic nature and of his respect for
army discipline, says the New York
Daily News.
An ardent rooter for baseball and
fairly good player himself, he had
always taken the highest interest in
the games between the Twenty
fourth infantry (his regiment) and
others. 1t was a negro regiment,
but that made no difference.
A critical game was called, and he,
although colonel of the regiment,
volunteered to fill vacancy at
shortstop. He was accepted, and no
assured the boys that all consider
ations of rank were to be dropped
during the game.
His side was at the bat, and the
colonel was at first playing off for
second when the negro coacher on
his side yelled:

rassed smile on his good-looking,
sun-burned face.
"Why-you know, Dave-it's Valen-
tines day." he began, hesitatingly.
"Don't know nothin' of the kind"
broke in his friend.
"Well, you know it now, old fell
low, and I'm lool1in' for some little
fixin' to take Nfilly for valentine.
We began that way, you see, when
we was first married-keepin' ami
versary days, by me buyin' her
keepsake. 1t pleases her, and don't
hurt me. You know how women like
to be remembered by their husbands.
There's some ribbon in this window
thatl just suit Milly to a dot. I'm
going in to get it. See you later,
Dave" and Sam Scott went into the
store, leaving his friend staring
after him with perplexity written in
every line of his face.
"You know how women like to be
remembered by their husbands"
Sam was wrong; he didn't know.
The words haunted him-haunted
him all day. Went with him to the
various places where he had business
to transact; kept him company at
the restaurant when he ate his din
ner. Much to his surprise (and an
noyance), he found himself doing
some thinking in an entirely new
line.
AS far as he could remember-and
his memory was eXcellent-he had
never bought a present for Susan. OF
course, she had the egg and butter
money every week; but it suddenly
occurred to him that it was general
ly spent for the house and the chill
dren.
"Susan's as good-loolling a woman
as you'll find" he thought. "She'd
look a heap better than Sans Milly
if she was a leetle more fiXy. I'm
as able as Sam Scott to give my wife
'keepsakes,' as he calls 'em. 1 Won
der what on earth she'd think if l
took her by surprise tonight? I
swan, I'd like to try it, but I don't
want to look foolish. I'll go and see
about that cultivator I've got to buy,
and put Sam Scott's notions out of
my head"
But that was easier said than DONE
"Sam Scott's notions" had evidently
come to stay, and late in the day,
much to his own disgust, Dave Rob-
inson found himself actually stop
ping before shop windows, in which
were displayed the "fixin's" that
women like. Suddenly he drew up
before milliner's shop. "I've got
It'll" he exclaimed out loud, regardless
of the amused looks of several pass
ers-by. 'I'll buy Susan a bonnet!"
and wonderfully pleased with his
happy idea, he went bashfully into
the shop. He had never been in such
place before, and it was a terrible
ordeal. He felt like the proverbial

The colonel ran Ind brought in n
score, but when he reached the bat
ter's bench he was blazing with
wrath.
"You impudent scoundrel; I'll have
you in the guardhouse!"
Then he remembered the circum-
stances under which he had entered
the game. He added:
"If you ever again address the
colonel of your regiment in such a
manner"

district attorney I was ready to try
Senator Money, but he dismissed all
the charges against all the parties,
those against the conductor and his

and the one, against Senator Money
because the district attorney said it
