Gen. Sherman Enlightened.

when General Sherman was on his
march from Atlanta to the sea- said
Colonel Bachtell. assistant engineer of
the State Board of Public Works, yes
terday, '.he had with him the Eighth
Missouri, noted for its foraging pro-
pensities. Nothing was safe from its
men. One day the generals foragers
brought in some fine chickens, and to
make sure that the Missouri men did
not get them they were placed in
corn crib only few rods from the
beat of a sentry. But in a few days
the whole bunch had disappeared. The
Eighth was suspected, but could not
be convicted. Years after the war, at
a reunion at Cincinnati, General Sher-
man met the major of the Eighth, and
INN ediately after greetings, said all
would be forgiven if the major would
tell how those chickens were taken.
That's easy" said the major. 1.-THE
first very dark night we sent a squad
of our best foragers with the smallest
fellow in the regiment. Removing one
slat of the crib made an aperture large
enough to admit him. A cloth soaked
with chloroform, which our hospital
supplied, applied to the head of
chicken soon caused it to topp1e over,
ard it was passed out for the bag. In
this way the birds were in a few min
utes transferred to our camp under the
cover Of darkness, absolutely without
noise The sentry was not bribed."-

For long time it was Impossible to
raise the large English varieties OF
gooseberry in this country, on account
of the tendency to mildew; now the
cause of the trouble is better under
stood and can be obviated in various
ways, so that it is comparatively easy
to grow many of the very large Sorts
Some new large varieties have been
produced which are less liable to
mildew than the older ones, though
most of them will do so more or less
in unfavorab1e seasons. unless great
care is exercised. In the first place.
the bushes should have plenty of room
as a crowded condition is one of the
causes of the trouble. They should
not be planted in a place where the
wind cannot blow freely among them.
but in an airy situation where there
will be less tendency to dampness.
The Adampness alone is not so bad. as
the effect of the hot sun on the
bushes after a prolonged wet SPELL
Judicious pruning has much to do
with the prevention of mildew, as
where the old wood is removed and
the extra branches taken out the air
has a better chance for circulation and
less mildew will be the result.
10 SUN up the mdIter, the pest way
to obviate the difficulty is to plant the
bushes where there is a good circula-
ton of air, in partial shade during the
heat of the day, and keep the bushes
we'll thinned of branches. If the fruit
is SO heavy as to bear the branches
down to the ground, frame should be
provided to hold them up.
When mildew appears in spite of all
precaution, spray can be applied
that will effectually check it, as mill
dew yields more readily to the fungi
eide than almost any other fungus. To
make it dissolve one-half ounce of
liver of sulphur in one gallon of water,
and spray the bushes thoroughly, be-
ginning when the disease first begins
and repeating if necessary. In damp
seasons the work will be needed more
often.
Bordeaux mixture has also proved a
valuable help in this work, four appli-
cations being necessary during the
season, two before blooming and two
after. If currant worms are also
working, add a little paris green OF

There can be no reasonable objection
to our young girls taking such excur-

At the fountain of freedom drink
Then the banner unfurled. mad defiance

At the vulture hand, virtue blind:
And the worms of the world shall nave

And struck, the Lord designed
Through the storm and the fight, through

Full spread to the wind of the cannon

The oppressors are vanquished, their

Like the leaves of the autumn strewn

For their anguish has blossomed in lib

WeILknown Chaplain Dead.

The Very Rev. p p Cooney, one of
the best known priests at the Univer-
sity of Notre Dame, and the chaplain
of the famous Grand Army post of
priests in that university, died last
month after a lingering illness.
He was born in County Roscom-
mon, Ireland, in 1922, but was brought
to this country while child by his
parents, who settled near Monroe,
Mich He entered the priesthood in
1859. In October, 1861, he was COM
missioned chaplain of the Thirty-fifth
Indiana, and served with that COM
mand throughout the war. He showed
the greatest courage on the battlefield
in attending to the wounded in the
midst of the enemy's bullets, and
there is a fine picture in the gallery
of Notre Dame showing him admins
tering the rites of dissolution to the
regiment before its entrance into bat
tie.
At the close of the war Father
Cooney became rector of church at
South Bend, and in 1870 he entered
the missionary field, which, however,
he was forced to give up owing to his
increased deafness--New York Press.

How Logan Saved the Day.

Illinois has had many illustrious
sons who in the hour of danger have
done her honor. Cons picuous among
them is John Alexander Logan. Where
now stands the 1ourishing city of
Murphysboro, in a comfortable farm
house, John A. Logan was born Feb
Nary 8, 1926.
His father, . prosperous physician,
gave him a liberal education with
private tutor, and a course at Shiloh
College and the Louisville Law
School.
John was a natural leader and al
ways had a crowd of admiring satel-
1ites ready to follow him in his daring
adventures, and whether it was work,
play or study that engaged him, he en-
tered into it with all the energy of his
impetuous nature, writes Austin Cook.
His experience in the Mexican war,
which he entered when IS, coming out
a lieutenant, furnished his entire mill
tary education, prior of the rebellion.
In 1860, when our country was shak-
en- to its very foundations by impend-
ing war, Logan held his seat in Con-
gress by the almost unanimous vote
of the Democrats of a southern Hi
nois district.
As time went on he saw that he
must either give up his party or his
country, and he proclaimed himself
for the Union.
When the troops were marching out
of Washington to meet the enemy in
the eventful July of 1861, Logan left
his seat in the House, seized a musket
and without taking time to change
his silk hat, took his place in the ranks
and fought as a common soldier during
the terrible battle of Bull Run.
He then returned to Washington, re-
signed his position and fastened home
to raise troops.
1t was an easy thing to return to his
political constituency, who were all
bitterly incensed against him, feeling
that he had betrayed and deserted
them but in doing what he knew was
right he never faltered.
The people had worked themselves
into a perfect fury of indignation.
Those whom he had considered his
best friends turned from him without
speaking and even his relations re-
pulsed and upbraided him. Many of
the men, made furious by drink, swore
vengeance upon the man who, short
time before, had been their idol.
Logan's danger was imminent. 1t
was one of the crucial moments of his
life. He stood calmly before them
without a shadow of fear and urged
that they would at least hear him
speak.
Mounting an old wagon, he poured
forth a stream of eloquence.
He pictured their present prosperous
condition and what it would be if
their homes were made the scene of
bloody battles. Gradually their faces
softened, the hands upon their revolv-
ers relaxed, and before he had finished
speaking they were ready to follow
the call of their intrepid leader. His
personal influence had won the day
and southern Illinois was saved to the
Union.

Bury Dead Hogs Deep.

Hogs that have died of cholera
should be buried deep in a place
that will not be used as feed
ing ground by other hogs. The
pit if possible should be near the
place where they expired, as it is not
desirable to haul them about the farm
in wagons. By this latter method, the
disease is spread. Putting Quicklime
about the body before it is covered
helps to, lessen the danger of the dis
ease germs getting from the body to
the surface. But even then it is pos
sible that after the lime has taken In
enough water to neutra1ize it there
will be some germs left to pass into
the soil with the soil water. The
more superficial the burial the greater
the danger.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretchcd for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from Door
or poisoned blood. In ansenia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, andthe poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: cdr.

Good Works.

Woodcliff chapel at North Bergen,
N. J., who learned the carpenters
trade before he studied for the minis
try, is converting the cellar of the
chapel into a room for Sunday school
sessions and church sociables. He is
doing the work without any assist
ance. The dominic told member of
the Ladies' Aid Society several weeks
ago that if the society raised 500 to
buy the lumber for the floor and walls
he would do the carpenter-work. The
women hustled around and collected
the cash and the minister got the lum-
Der. Then he donned an old pair of
trousers and started in to keep his
part of the contract.

The Strawberry Bed Ae.er Fruitina.

The Strawberry Bed After Fruiting.
The strawberry bed should receive
attention as soon as the harvest is
ended. Where large beds of strawber-
ries are grown, the mower can ba
used in clipping OF the old vines, and
as weeds will have grown up quite
thickly in the rows and between the
rows where a mulch has not been
used, the second work is to cultivate
between the rows to destroy the
weeds. If the rows are narrowed up
considerably and the growth of vines
is 1uxuriant, the problem of keeping
down the weeds will be more easily
solved.

Disease causes almost as many

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold

will cave not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in u pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures 10 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Drummer Boy at Lookout Mountain.

drummer hoy at LOOKOUT mountain.
When Grant and old Pap Thomas
were watching the immortal charge of
the federal troops up the face of Look
out Mountain, a certain regiment far
to the front was seen to waver. The
colors began to recede; the storm of
rock and bullets sweeping down from
the confederates intrenched above
was too much for the courage of the
men,
Then out of the tangle, the living
ard dying, there came a little drum
mer boy and he went beyond the col
ors and up to a perch of. rock. High
he placed himself, his face turned up
defiantly to the f1re-rimmed noun
tains crest. Sharp and long came the
call of his drum to the failing men be-
low him, while on the heights men in
gray spared their aim for the bravery
of the lad.
Men of the blue rallied. They cheer
ed the drummer boy and swept by
him in new effort. They scaled the
peaks and won the victory, while from
the slopes still rang out his challenge
for great deeds. 1t was Molly Pitcher
who rolled the drum at Monmouth be-
