Curious Record Of a Hero Of the
Revolutionary War.
Daniel M. Armstrong, now SO
years old, has been for many years
a citizen of Sumner county, says
the Wellington (Kan.) Mail. The
father of Mr.. Armstrong servedin
the revolutionary war, and he is
one of the few Americans who can
boast of such a close connection
with the birth of our government.
The grandfather of Mr.. Arm.
strong was Struggled away from
Scotland to escape the conse.
quences of a revolution in which
he had engaged. He remained for
three days headed up in a hogs
head in the hold of a ship while the
shipwas taking cargo at a Scottish
port. Arriving in America, he en-.
listed in Washington's army. Be.
ing incapacitated for duty, he Of
fered his youngest son, the father
of the Kansas Armstrong, to take
his place in the army. AS the boy
was but 16 years old, Washington
asked to see him before he was en-
listed, and the boy went to Wash
ington's camp and with his rifle
hit a half-dollar which Washing
ton put up at a given distance to
test his craftsmanship. The lad
served until the war was over,
seeing the surrender at Yorktown.
He was twice wounded, once by a
bullet in the thigh. His other
wound was in his right wrist, and
he always contended it was in
flicted by a Hessian with a bayO-
net in a hand to hand fight. This
fact had an important bearing on
his after life. From that day for
ward every time a Hessian spoke
to him Armstrong promptly
knocked the Hessian down, who
ever he might be, and regardless
Of his size or age. This led to In
Vulnerable Hst fights. One char
acteristic Of the Hessian was that
he would always bite his antagon-
ist. AS a result, when Joseph
Armstrong died he did not have a
whole finger or thumb. Some part
Of them all had been bitten of by
the Hessians with whom he had
fought.

Ball in a Tree.


1t is a gorgeous story that
comes from the golf links of Cairo,

after carry a gun in his bag Of

fine points, says the Illustrated
Sporting News. After a splendid
drive, a Cairo player watched the
ball rull over the distant turf,
when, to his Mortified amazement,
Il crow swOoped down and carried
it alOft. The golfer and the caddie
put off in chase, the caddie cursing
in fluid Arabic. Then, to the de-
light of the golfer, the crow
dropped the ball on the green, and
he holed out in two strokes, which
put Colonel Bogie out of commits.

his crowship, had to stand, Many
years ago in England, before a

emergency In cricket, it is related
that a batsman knocked a ball into

chopped down, the man with the

In the much larger "commer-

containing the names of about 80
individual Smiths; so we may take
it that there are at least 1000
Smiths inhabiting the commercial

Method to Recover Il.
"If some scheme could be de-
vised;" said George W. Noble, Of
Saltwater, at the Plankinton, TO
a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter,
by which the sunken logs which fill
the beds of rivers and creeks in
the logging sections of this coun.
try could only be recovered, i'm
mense fortunes would be mace.
Along the st. CrOix waters it is eg
timated that logs enough are i'm
bedded in the sand of river bot.
toms to keep mills running for
years. Under present conditions
the loss is total, for no successful
method has ever been devised to
effect this saving,
Occasionally logs cut years ago
are forced by the washings of
floods from their sand beds and
driven upon the shores, where the
action of sun and wind dries them
out sufficiently so that they will
float downstream, but the per.
centage of logs recovered is small
and millions of dollars worth Of
property is lost beyond recovery
until some enterprising genius in
vents a machine or process to re-
cover the timber.
"At saltwater logs occasionally
come to the sorting booms bearing
marks in use half a century ago,
and when they appear the old lum-
bermen grow reminiscent of men
who have been long forgotten,
but who were important operators
in the pioneer logging days of
Wisconsin and Minnesota.
"No possible estimate can be
made of the amount of timber thus
lost, but lumbermen estimate that
the rivers of Wisconsin, in the
value of logs buried in their sands,
have fortunes of millions of dol
lars if the logs could be recovered.
OF the billions of feet of logs

streams year after year, a per-
centage Of lost annually, finding
graves in the sand. Wisconsin has
been one Of the big pine states,
and your Chippewa, Wisconsin,

and their tributaries contain for
tunes in sunken timber.
STRANGE as it may appear, the
value of the timber is not less
ened, even after it has been sub
merged for half or quarter of a
century. Efforts have been occa.
sionally made to recover sunken
logs. AT one time a company was
organized at saltwater to dredge
streams and thus recover some of
the timber, but the plan did not
work with any great degree of sue.
cess, this method being found too
expensive. Some one will come
along some day with a plan, and
this immensely valuable product
now lost, will be recovered"
