A FIGHTING CHAPLAIN.
How Father John Ireland Saved the
 Day at the Battle of q Corinth.

Here and there among the preachers who took part in Memorial day services, says the Washington Star. stood gray haired man of the cloth who in the six ties was universally referred to as fight ing chaplain So-and-So. Such one Is Arch bishop Ireland. of St. Paul.
 As Father John Ireland, he was chap lain of the Fifth Minnesota for three years, seeing service with the regiment at Corinth. Yicksburg. Red River. Nash vile and elsewhere where the fighting was severest. It was at Corinth that he particularly distinguished and en- deared himself to the men of his regi- ment
 At the critical stage of the battle the enemy preached the union line, cap- tured several batteries and gained the streets of the town. It fell to the lot of the Fifth Minnesota to drive the confed- crates back. which they did by falling on the right flank of the penetrating eol- umn and subjecting it to a pitiless fire. The batteries were retaken, the line re: established, but the confederates were still full of fight, and could be seen form ing for another attack.
 At this iuncture the Minnesota boys discovered that only round or tvo of cartridges remained in their boxes. The situation was desperate-already the enemy was charging toward the blue line. Hastily the boxes of the dead were rifled of the few cartridges remaining in them, the firing began. closer swept heenemy. when suddenly. above the din of battle rose the piercing cry: Here are cartridges for you. boys." and the next moment Chaplain Ireland began distributing handfuls of bullets from the heavy ammunition case which he had secured and carried to the firing line, to the salvation. undoubtedly. of the regiment All through the battle he stuck on the firing line feeding out ammunition. and when the smoke Of the guns had cleared away be had the sat- isfaction of knowing that the enemy had been repulsed, ard the Fifth Mime sota held. undisputed the line and the batteries.

fright, being unable to stand or to speak. During the remainder of=the day he remained silent, preparing the "grub" and serving 1t without com ment, but furtively scanning the hori- zon for more spook towns. Late in the afternoon Maj. Fullington heard a piercing scream, and, turning, he saw Nose standing up in his wagon, his body rigid, his right arm extended heayenward. Gazing in the direction of the extended arm, the men saw a railroad train with smoke flying from the stack and apparently doing 50 miles an hour in mid air. Not a sound could be heard, but there it was, and the "blow-off'' of the huge iron monster could be as plainly discerned as though 1t were standing right be- fore them.

That's just what 1 mean, Nose" re- piled the major. unconcernedly. Nose rode along for time in ss.snce. look ing occasionally at the mirage out of the corners of his eyes. Finally he asked: How cum dat am a spook own, Massa Fullington7"
 Why, you see. it was this way, Nose. Ages and ages ago all this country was inhabited by strange and un- known race of people. All over west ern Kansas they built beautiful cities and they were very rich and prosper ous. Hundreds of years ago, no man knows when, there came upon the land a terrible deluge. It rained for days and earthquake followed earth quake and tornado chased torna- do. When 1t was all over there was not a living thing in all this great country. The people thus destroyed loved their country so well that ever since their death their spirits return and rebuild their towns and cities in tbs air and hold high links until dris<n back to spirit land"
 Good Lord," exclaimed Nose. Am dat what dey am doin' right now in dat spook town?"
 You're on, Nose"
 What am it dat drives dem away, Massa Fullington?"
 They cause their cities and towns to suddenly disappear as soon as human folks come near them"
 "Massa Fullington, you am jokin' me. Dat certainly am a real town"
 Now look here. Nose. That town is on wonder hill. is it not? We'll, you know very we'll that we can't see over the hill. and therefore the town must be on top of it. Now we are going to drive the cattle right over that hill. and you keep your eyes on that spook town and see if it don't fade away be- fore we get there"
 Several of the cowboys had entered into the spirit of the fun and began telling Nose of the wonderful spooks there were in the plains country. 'When we get within SO miles of town" declared one of them, I've will show you a spook railroad train com ing after you in the air" Nose sniv- cred. but said nothing. His eyes were riveted on the spook town. which seemed to hi1f to have already begun to fade.
 Do you see. Mose?' asked Maj. Fuilington, the spooks are cleaning house"

pEPoPULATMc ENGLAND.
The Craze There for Extensive Cams Preserves Is Driving Out
 the Farmers.

There has been for many years . tens dency to increase the size of farms by throwing three or four into one and pulling down the supernuous buildings. Farmers and land owners alike pro noted this disastrous policy, says the Independent Review.
 In the fat years farmers competed wildly with each other for every vacant farm; 1t was easier to collect rent from one farmer than from three or four; but, above all, think. in many places the growing love, not of sport" in the old sense of the word, but of greserva- ton of game on a huge scale. as an at- traction to the squire's sporting friends. was the chief incentive to this truly un- patriotic procedure.
 A large head of game is much mora easily kept up when farms are large. farmers few. and cottages far apart. than when farms are small and hahita- tions near together. Wealthy men can afford to let farms on very easy terms to tenants who will help to preserve the game and make no ''fuss" about itz ravages.
 The only rural employment in which the number of those engaged has in- creased of late yesrs is gamskeeping- In all others it has decreased largely. Very high rents are paid by rich men for a mansion with frst-ciass shcotlng for the season. This ofteu psyb the owner much better than farms let to progressive and hard-vorkinE farmers would do.
