Canadians viii Stop SEEMING in Lake
champIain.
Canada has at last consented to stop
spring SEEMING in Lake Champlain. Just
what kind of an order has been issued to
that effect is not known by State Fish
Commissioner Henry G. Thomas yet but
ne is advised by Consul General J. c.
Foster at ottawa that Hon. Raymond
Prefountaine. Canadian minister Of ma
rine and fisheries. has said that there
would be no seine fishing at Mssisquoi
bay during the next two OF three months.
It will be recalled that in a letter to
the secretary of the North American
Fish and Game Protective association
Feb. II Minister Prefountaine declined
to prohibit the issue of spring SEEMING Ii
censes to Canadian fishermen. The mat
ter was then taken up with President
Roosevelt who was understood to be will
ing to see what influence he could bring
to bear upon the Canadian authorities so
long as Vermont and New York had
agreed to stop spring SEEMING on their
part. and il is believed that this new de-
csion of Minister Prefountaine is the re-
suit of negotiations from Washington.

He Doesn't Curse Now.

Washington, Kans., Dec. 25 (Special).-
Jesse L. Mitchell is a telephone lineman, and
also a well-known resident here. Every
body acquainted with Mr.. Mitchell knows
that he was a man who held very positive
views about Patent Medicine. Hear what
he says now:

cines, for they never did me any good, but
change my mind. For twelve years l suf-
fered from Kidney Trouble. There was a
hurting across my back that made it posi-
tive agony to stoop, and as l am in a stoop-
ing position nearly all day, you can imagine
how l suffered. After a days work that
any man would think nothing Of, l would be
tired and worn out. In fact, | was always
tired. 1 began using Dodd's Kidney Pills
and after taking four boxes / feel like a new

gin work in the morning. l have no pain
in my back now, and 4 am stronger than

He offered himself for the land he loved,
But what shall we say of her?
He gave to his country a soldiers life;
Twas dearer by far to the soldiers wife,
All honor Is due to her.
He went to the war while his blood was
hot,
But what shall we say of her?
He saw for himself through the battles

A hero reward on the scroll of fame;
What honor Is due to her?
He offered himself, but his wife did more.
All honor to-day to her.
Far dearer than life was the gift she gave;
In giving the life she would die to save
What honor is due to her?
He gave his life at his country's call,
But what shall we say of her?
He offered himself as a sacrifice;
But she is the one who pays the price.
All honor we owe to her.

SHELL EMBEDDED IN LOG.
How a Sawmill Uncovered a Relic of
the Battle of Rocky Gap in
West Virginia.

J. w. Huddleston, operating a sawmill
on the James river and Kanawha turn
pike, about three miles east of Dry Creek,
W. Va, struck a piece of shell weighing
about three or four pounds, which was
in a large oak log and so smoothly grown
over that it was not noticed.
The saw cut into 1t about two and a
half inches and sustained no damage,
except requiring a new set of teeth.
There were 3S growths of wood over it.
1t was the butt end of an eight-pounder,
with a heavy band of copper around 1t.
This shell was fired into the tree at the
battle of Dry Creek, August %, 1863.
In referring to the above incident.
James F. Hays, company X, Fourteenth
Pennsylvania cavalry, writes to the Ne
ti;Gpal Tribune as follows: The shell
stuck in the sawlog found by Mr.. Hud-
dleston probably was sent there by Ew-
ing's battery at the battle of Rocky Gap.
The battle of Rocky Gap, known to the
confederates as Dry creek, was fought
August 26 and 81, 1868, between Brig.
Gen. w. w. Averill's brigade, four
mounted regiments and a battery, and
Maj. Gen. Samuel Jones' confederate d.
vision, two brigades-Echols' and Pat
tons.
This battle the confederates always
named the big Little Fight" Gen.
Averill made us dismount and fight on
foot.
The battle of Rocky Gap was the most
singular battle of the Al engagements
that | was in during rhewar Although
n was &c hours on the skirmish line, l
did not see a confederate soldier during
the whole fight. They were hidden in
the bushes which were like q thicket.
Ii the loss of III brigade was in pro
portion to the loss of our company, then
our loss was heavy; for / saw five OF
our company boys in the battle of Rocky
Gap that l never saw again. Their
names were Daniel A. George, Samuel
A. Caldwell, Simon P. Cravener, Joseph
Stoughton and Robert Young. The battle
of Rocky Gap was fought within two and
a half miles of White Sulphur Springs
Greenbrier county, w. Va.

CIVILIANS AND TRANSPORTS
Army Rules Are Constantly Evaded
by officers and
Friends.

II IA reported from washington that
the war department is renewing its Ell
forts to restrict the use of the trans
ports to officers and soldiers Oh tne
army. Similar reports have reached us
before. They make periodic appear
ances, but the transports continue 10
be filled with civilians, junketing point
ical and the s%isters, the
cousins and the aunts of officers inc
men. not to mention their wives, chill
dren and servants, while the young
subalterns continue to be thrust into
cramped quarters ~'tween-deck to ac-
commodate persons h never wear
epaulettes or shoulder muskets.
The war department has not yet had
the hardihood to deny openly that fam
lilies of officers are entitled to Tree
transportation across the seas, but 1t
tries to limit the size of the families,
not infrequently with amusing results.
Not many months ago an infantry cap
tain applied for transportation for his
wife, WI sisters and children. The
allowance of sisters was cut down ne
half, only one being given accommoda-
lions. However, he managed to ring
in the rejected sister as the nurse to MS
child. This shrewd solution OF the
problem looked lovely and everybody
was happy until on arriving on board
the transport it was found that, while
the wife and other sister were given
cabin staterooms the nurse sister was
assigned to the steerage quarters with
the wives of enlisted men. Horrible!
The roar that arose was heard way up
Folsom street. The threats Of both
sexes were taxed to express their hor-
ror and indignation. The quartermas-
ter captain was at once summoned and
a lively protest was made. OF course,
the story came out then and the fact
that the alleged nurse was really a
brother officers fair sister travelling in
disguise was impressed upon the per
picked quartermaster captain, who for
q time took refuge In a quiet stateroom
to think out the situation. 1t was
finally patched up in some way and
both sisters were taken to Manila, but
the nurse trick was not attempted
again by hat family, although it has
been successfully worked at other
times.
Another officer with a wife and two
sisters had a less fortunate experience
only a few days ago. He had been or
dered to the Philippines on special
duty. His application for his wife and
two sisters to accompany him was
frowned upon. He %thereupon wrote to
the authorities, saying that his posi-
ton, being on special duty, was moi
akin to that of those proceeding under
routine orders on routine duties. He
was in a class by himself, etc. Back
from Washington came a telegram JUS
before the vessel sailed giving him au'
thority for the two sisters to accom-
pany the officer, but directing that the
wife would have to be left behind!
