A CHASE AFTER MILK.
Curious Wnr Experience of Union
Soldier Who Lately Passed
Away.

In noting the death of Ashley
Chase, a pioneer citizen of Kansas,
the Cawker City Record gives the fol-
lowing account of war experience
had by that gentleman:
'On April 1, 1868, Chase was a SOL
der in the Seventh Kansas cavalry,
and stationed at Germantown, Tenn,
Is miles east of Memphis. One day, in
company with comrade, Chase went
tC farmhouse after some milk, and
while there was surprised and cap
tured by the confederate picket and
.lken to their headquarters. He
expected to be shot, as the Kan
sas Jayhawllers received no mercy
from the enemy. He was taken
out into the timber for that purpose,
hut the leader of the party recog-
nized him as one of party which
had captured him, the confed-
crate, three weeks before, and who
had escaped. Chase was then taken
He was cautioned by one of his guard
to keep quiet on the identity of his
regiment. An officer invited him to
play checkers, and was beaten by
Chase. The defeated officer called
others to come and beat this -
Yankee but he vanquished them all
i'll the game. He was ordered to ac-
company Gen. Chalmers command,
and was in constant danger, because
il was learned that he was Jay
hawker, and the men were anxious
to kill him. The provost marshal,
learning that he was from his own
county in New York, took some in
terest in him and protected him. He
was imprisoned at Atlanta, and aft
erward in Libby prison at Richmond,
and was later exchanged at City
Point, thence going to Fortress Mon
roe, then to st. Louis, visited his
Kansas home, and rejoined his regi-
ment at Corinth, Miss, after journey
ing 1000 miles. AS he entered camp
his comrades inquired; Did you get

After this is done tack the cardboard
upright to the strip in front of the
stage, bending them back and tacking
them to the top. Tack the painted
footlights to the front strip, high
enough to hide any roughness of the
stage. After designing and painting
the arch, cut out along the outline
and fasten it to strips of wood
nailed to the top of the stage and
jutting out as far as the strip along
the footlights.
The scenery for the little theater
has now to be made. Get old card
board boxes, and take the large fiat
pieces, cutting them to the desired
size and cover them with white paper.

"Ihe boys ran for picks and shov-

uncovered and was identified as that
of the brother of our Third Kentucky

union service stood for many minutes

confederate, not one of the men in
the group saying word. Then, at
sign from the captain, the grave was
retilled, more distinctly marked, and
the command moved on.
"On the same campaign, when our
regiment had the advance, there was
a sharp sbirmish in the brush and our
boys supposed the rebs had retreated
when they saw not 300 yards away a
head thrust out of the brush and quick

To the box he simply fastened mast
and double triangular sail. There
happened to be a good wind when his
work was done, and it carried him and
his carriage for a great distance.
Any boy can make little land yacht
of this kind, all that he needs being
four wheels, which he can obtain with
out much trouble, an old soap box,
strip of canvas or calico and stout
stick, which is to serve as a mast. When
there is any wind he will find land sail

A California Dog Hero.

From California comes tale of a
heroic rescue by dog. During a for
est fire which ragged along the border
between Yuba and Butte counties,
Bruno, Great Dane dog, fought his
way through the flames bearing in his
jaws the living body of 3-year-old Flor
ence Rogers. The parents of the child,
when the alarm of fire was given, has
tened to assist neighbors, leaving lit
tie Florence on the kitchen floor.
When the wind shifted Rogers and his
wife rushed for their home, but when
they reached the clearing it was to
see the barn in a blaze. Rogers tried
to get to the house, but was restrained.
Just then Bruno burst through the
kitchen window with the child, her
garments knotted in his teeth The
baby's clothes gave way as the dog
landed, but in an instant he had her
again in grip and reached safety. The
child's face and hands were cut and
burned but she recovered.

the regular channels of supply.
New Ration Plan.
The problem of feeding an army is
one of the most difficult in the whole
administration. If the troops could be
operated without feeding the prob
lens involved would be comparatively
simple. This IS proved by the many
battles that have been lost and the
countries rJined through loss OF sup
plies.
Furthermore. the ration of a soldier
is directly related 70 his usefulness. He
must be fed like horse, or any other
animal which has to be strengthened
for a specific purpose. The rauons are
therefore, chosen to nourish the SOL
diers in such Il way that the qualities
of strength, endurance and resistance
will be developed.
