A WAR EPISODE.

cannot youch for the truth of the
following story, but it was told TO me
by one who professed TO have wit
messed the incident:
In one of the fiercest battles fought
by the Army of Tennessee, Tennessee
regiment which had won renown on
many bloody fields and had never re-
coiled except before fire which the
staunchest veterans would consider n
valid excuse for such conduct, found
itself in situation which fully justi-
fed, in the opinion of both officers and
men, ''retrograde movement"
Suddenly, while driving Yankee
line before it, 1t came upon half dozen
batteries, which opened at short range
with grape, while three or four other
Federal regiments rose mp on its tanks
and poured in '.blizzard." The Ten
nesseans found it best. under these cir
cumstances, to fall back TO a ridge
some 300 yards in the rear, and leaving
nearly half their number dead and
wounded on the ground, they sought
this friendly shelter to reform.
At this juncture Mississippi regi-
ment of equal celebrity arrived It's
gallant Colonel, anxious for the fray,
but not apprised of the nature Of the
situation, shouted to the Tennesseeans,

where the Tennesseeans had received
the destructive voileys, a similar greet

seemed lighted with the flame and
resonant with the roar of the Internal
regions, and they reeled back as their
predecessors had done.
Seeing them return, the Tennesseeans
rose and yelled: Make way here and
let Mississippi out."-General Basil

RESCUED THROUGH A SONG.

A Scottish youth learned with pious
mother to sing the old psalms that
were then as household words to them
in the kirk and by the fireside. When
he had grown up he wandered away
from his native country. was taken cap
tive by the Turks and made slave
in one of the Barbary States. But he
never forgot the songs of Zion, al
though he sang them in strange land
and to heather ears.
One night he was solacing himself
in this manner when the attention of
some sailors on board of an English
man-of-war was directed TO the famil-
lar tune of "Old Hundred" as 1t came
floating over the moonlit waves. At
once they surmised the truth, that one
of their countrymen was languishine
away his life as a captive. Quickly
arming themselves, they manned a
boat and lost no time in effecting his
release. What joy TO him after
eighteen long years passed in slavery.

cherished the glorious tune of "Old

pend very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and
other skin diseases. all Of which are
produced by the pungent, foul air in
the stables. Farmers and others who
have horses will take pains to keep
their carriages and harnesses protect
ed from the strong ammonical air of
the stables, lest the leather may be
rotted or the varnish dulled and spot

wonder why their horses cough, or

suffer from other diseases which, IL

due to the foul air the animals are
compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined in close. badly

very easy. The stable should be kept

Why the Body Needs Water.

Someone has asked: What would be
the cause of death OF a person who
drank no water?" This subject has
been studied considerably; animals
have been experimental upon, and
it is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the nat.
ural poisons; they must have water in
order to eliminate them. otherwise
the secretions become too dense.
Without water, the amount of urea
which should be secreted becomes di.
minished, and SO with the other Sc
cretions. We need water, not only to
dissolve the food and carry 1t along,
but we need 1t to dissolve and carry
out of the system the poisonous and
worn-out material Of the body, after II
has served its purpose. Water forms
a circulating medium for carrying sub.
stances back and forth in the sys.
tenn, conveying nourishment to the
various parts of the body, bringing
back the used-up material and carry.
ing 1t out by way of excretory ducts.
The amount Of water daily required
is from two to three pints. In very
hot weather a larger amount is need
ed, as much water is lost by perspira
ton. II ones diet consists largely OF
the juices of fruits. the quantity of
water may be considerably diminished

AS Hank had observed, Steve Brown
was always saying mean things and
provoking quarrels and was not of
much account, and after discussing the
pros and cons it was decided to over

Judge said: But don't do it again,

prisoner, and the court adjourned to

This very common condition is
most often due TO six o'clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after p. M, or at least nothing more
than little ripe stewed fruit, without
cream. and with as little sugar as pos
sible. better with none. Oranges or
some other juicy, fruit are preferable
for an evenings lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk. and similar arti-
cles which digest slowly. Fruit juices
and completely predigested food SUBJ
stances may be added In moderation.
Tea and coffee also produce sleep
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the &C
emulation of uric acid. which is a
nerve excitant. and gives rise to rest
lessness and disturbing dreams.

the laboring man is sweet" Eccl. 5:12.
Gentle fatigue produced by exercise
out of doors is wonderfully effective
as a means of producing sleep. A
prolonged bath, fifteen to forty min

PEABODY IS OUT.
Colorado GubernatOriaI Controversy
Seems Settled at Last.

Denver, March 1S.-The bargain made
by leaders of the opposing Republican
factions of Colorado to take the COVER
nor's chair from Alva Adams and to
seat in it Lieutenant Governor Jesse r.
Mcdonald after permitting James H.
Peabody to hold it for one day was car
-ried to a conclusion late in the after
noon.
In fulfllment of the agreement which
he made before the general assembly
decided the gubernatorial contest in his
favor, Governor James II. PEABODY mas
resigned the office to which he was in
augurated late yesterday afternoon.
His resignation, of which W. S. Boyn-
ton, of Colorado Springs, had been Gus
todian since Wednesday, when it was
written, was filed in the office of the
secretary of state at 20 this afternoon
James Cowie, secretary of state, immed-
lately certified Governor Peabody

Mcdonald was then sworn in as gov
ernor by Chief Justice Gabert- There
was no further ceremony. Governor
Adams was ouSted and Governor Pea
body installed. by the general assembly
Governor Mcdonald was sworn in be-
fore p. m. today. Thus in a space Of
less than twenty-four hours Colorado
has had three governors.
Governor Peabody transacted practic-
ally no business of state while in the
office of governor. He received many
callers who urged him not to resign,
and also many messages of the same
import, by telegraph and telephone. To
all these he replied that he did not care
to hold the chair. He said that he was
tired of the worry and excitement of his
contest, and wished to go back to his
bank in Canon City. Half a dozen mem
bers of the national guard patrolled the
corridors about the executive chamber
during the day as guard for Cover
nor Peabody.
