Tho one be Iauded Ger and o'er,
The other ScOrned of men,
Is there in the truer scale
One whit between the two?
In which class, then
Are the better men?
In which of the two are you?

And he with colors cased

Belief that his cause is right
As God gives him to see.

The reporter, with great ingenuity,
was telling Senator Daniel the object

Printed Wartime Extra"

THAT story of Major L. H. Drury
at Gordon's Mills" said the Colonel.
Interested me greatly. 1t reminded
me that before the war Major Drury
published at Berlin, Wis, the Green
Lake Democrat. and thereby hangs
another story. Knowing Drury well,
a good many printers enlisted in the
Third Wisconsin or Badger battery
After Corinth Drury's battery was or
dered to Iuka, Miss. After the COM

printer boys strolled into town and

the devil, who said he was in charge
and that the Office force had gone into
the Confederate army to get their

reared.
Major Drury was a good discip1i-
marian, and from force of habit the
boys proceeded formally to elect an
editorial staff and to detach them
selves for duty at the cases. They
threw of their blouses, set to work
to get out an issue of the Badger Bull

Over the hills and far away
Is the land of the summer weather;
Down in the vale VIII ere the shadows play
Is my heart a silken tether.
Over the hills, beyon the pines,
Is the maid of my passions longing;
There midst the and coumbines,
Is the spot where my thoughts go thronging
Over the hills beside the sea,
Where the waves a-froth with scoding,
There is the in the world for me,
Is the one that my heart is holding.
Over the hills of sted gold
She dwells mong the bees and clover;
There is my queen in garden old
With Eros, the god the rover!
Over the hills haste away,

Follows my queen tn rough the live-long day,

When the British admiralty built
the new and splendid naval barracks
at Chatham they fitted up one of the
largest rooms in fine style for courts

for the first time the discovery was
made that the regulations require all

Boosters Carried as Pets.


a surprise to most of Sherman's army.
and there were some stirring Incl
dent But the scene that comes up
first in my mind when Bentonville is
mentioned is one to make me laugh.
On that North Carolina march our
brigade or division used pack mules
instead of wagons, and the pack train
was a picturesque affair, the mules
being loaded with all sort of plumber
In addition to other things, nearly
every mule carried at least one live
rooster and some mules two or three
roosters.
1.-The roosters had been gathered up
on the long march and had become
great pets. So it was arranged they
should be put in large wooden pals
confiscated along the route, and these
pals tied on the tops of the packs on
the mules. The roosters took kindly
to the locomOtiOn, and while the
mules were moving were very quiet
But when the train halted the roosters.
anticipating release and the freedom
of camp, would crow Justify.
'ThiS was not so comical when the
mules were scattered at camping time
among the several companies. But at
Bentonville there had been much hur-
collected in sheltered position to
await the issue of battle. AS the
cavalry and artillery moved forward
into the fight We passed the pack
train. The unusual racket and con-
fusion had kept the ROSTERS quiet,
but one old fellow looking over the
top of his bucket recognized us as old
friends and crowed vigorously. This
started another until the whole ag-
gregation went in action, every one of
a hundred BOOSTERS Growing for dear
life.
1T was ludicrous beyond descrip-
ton. The fun of it took possession OF
officers and men, and we went into the
fight laughing and talking back to
the roosters. We could hear them
crow after we got down to business,
and the boys thought it was good
omen and they told some of their
prisoners about it. When we went
into camp after the battle, the roost-
ers, it seemed to us, crowed louder
than ever, and certainly they were
greater pets than ever before.
Despite their affection for their pet
roosters the boys in good time became
so chicken hungry that the ROSTERS
began to disappear. A man who would
rot kill his own rooster would will
ingly sacrifice the last rooster of his
best friend, and it became necessary
to closely guard our pets at night
One night l tied my rooster to
long pole and pushed the pole and
rooster under the house in which /
had established headquarters for the
night A little after II O'Clock 1
sneezed and there was a vigorous crow
right under my head.
THAT rooster crowed from that hour
until daylight every time any one
sleeping on the floor moved, and the
next day my noisy rooster was the
talk of the camp. Even Gen. Kilpat-
rick sent an orderly to me with his
compliments, begging to inform me
that he had at his headquarters a
rooster that could lick mine and teach
him manners. 1 sent my compliments
to Fitzpatrick and begged to inform
him that my rooster was true blue,
and fought only secesh chickens l
stuck to my rooster, and not few

she is fat and has a narrow head. A

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an UNI
expected thing and can be corrected
if taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:
81 was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of the
injurious effects of the habit till l be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart, trouble, Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made,
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who Witnessed my
sufferings.
81 continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my illhealth, till, on applying
for life insurance 1 was rejected on
account of the trouble with my heart.
Then I became alarmed. found that
leaving on coffee helped me quickly.
SO I quit it altogether and having
been attracted by the advertisements
of Postum Food Coffee began its USE.
The change in my condition was
remarkable, and it was not long till
was completely cured. All my all
mentss vanished. My digestioa was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared. and, most important OF
all, my heart steadied down and be-
came normal, and on second examf~

PRINTING STRUGGLE BEGINS.
Union Men in Chicago Protest Against
Op,n shop Notices.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2s-The struggle between
Chicago union printers and the Chicago
Typothete began in earnest at noon to-day,
when 2Ss men employed at six places pro-
tested against the open shop notices posted
and the employment Of non-union men
and left the shops.
"The printers have simply been locked
out, said John c. Harding, organizer for
the typographical union. They will not
return to work Monday. but they will call
to get the pay now du to them"
The first open shop notices were posted
in the shops Of r. r. Donnelley Il Sons
Company and A. X. Barnes 4 Co. Before
noon several non-union men had been put
to work and their arrival in the shops was
closely followed by the appearance Of
President E. X. Wright Of the Typographi-
cal Union and Organizer Harding who
made a formal protest.
hostilities would follow the ignoring Of
the protest the Donnelleys ordered al
men paid of to Saturday night The
usual custom is to pay up to Thursday
night The members Of the Typothetea
were notified Of the action and informed
that the big strike was on and that Chic ago
reach over the United States before the
mi ddle OF winter
The chief point of difference between
the printers and the employers is the length
OF the work day. The fypographica Union
announced some time ago that an eight
hour day would be demanded as universal
standard In this country Jan 1. The Typo
theatae of the United States took action
some time later in opposition to the move.
No settlement could be arrived at and the

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. Aug. 2e.-News from
Tracy City, the mining town in Grundy
county ,is Of serious nature and 30 critical
that Sheriff Sam j. Meeks has asked Gov.
John I. Cox to send military assistance.
This is the result Of largely attended meet
ings last night and to-day by union miners

Some OF these left for other mines, but
several remained and are said to have had
the backing OF the national board. On
Thursday morning when the mines were re-
opened with non-union labor, unknown
persons fired from ambush, killing mine
Foreman j. B. Rust and Dick Henley and
fatally wounding John McGoven.
Three Thousand dollars reward for the
