Major Charles c. Davis, the SER
geant-at-arms, keeps it as his rare
treasure, close hidden in the drawer
Of his desk. It was presented to
him at the battle Of Kelly's Ford,
Va, when Major Davis was or
dered to charge with his squadron
into a patch Of woods where the
"Jofnnies" were lying concealed in
q perfect horseshoe formation, into
the bow Of which the troopers
charged, only to receive a deadly

made from the heavy breastplate
of the majors belt, and manufac-

struck the plate squarely in the
center, at just about the pit of the
majors stomach. Out Of the saddle
he went, and for a considerable
Interval lay dead to the world. In
regaining consciousness the major
felt sure that he was hard hit, but
there was no blood. A close ex-
animation revealed a dark purple

The initiative faculty is the most
valuable gift which a civil servant
can possess, says the London Daily
Chronicle, as his success largely
depends upon his ability to repeat
Official formula and to write docu-
ments in the styie of his superior,
who will sign them. Negroes are
admirable imitators, and they make
excellent civil servants. Here is a
letter from a Gold Coast postman to

A Real cIsmbake.

It is worth while to have sea-
weed, if you have to drive twenty
miles for it, but if unobtainable you
can make shift with we'll moistened
hay, grass or such material to make
a steaming bed for the viands to
cook on. First a layer Of seaweed,
several inches deep, then your po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes, CLAIMS and
green corn IN order, using judg-
ment, so as not to have your ma
terial burned by too much Goals
or heat, and yet be sure Of enough
heat to finish the cooking. Pota-
toes, If large, will need to cook
longer than The clans or corn. The
latter should be husked, with the
exception Of one layer Of husk
over the kernels. Now cover all
with seaweed, and let the mass
steam from twenty to forty min
utes. Frequent Inspections, with
attending burns and sooty fingers,
are part Of the fun.-Country Life
