VIII Power VS.. Science.

capt. John Kicker was one of those
daredevil fellows in the war, and he
cared for nothing. One night after
there had been a fierce fight we found
him stretched on the ground in an I'M
conscious condition, and the doctor said
there was no chance to save him. So
we covered his body over, and went on
to look after the others.
after a while we got back to the
captain again, and the doctor found
that he was still living, but unconscious.
The doctor assured US that there was
no chance for his life, but, after a con-
sultation, we decided that we ought to
arouse him and let him know that he
was about to die and ask him if he
wished any message sent to his fam
lily. He was accordingly rolled about
Oil the ground and punched to a mild
extent to bring him to his senses.
Pretty soon Kicker opened his eyes,
and the doctor told him that there was
nc chance of his living until morning,
and asked if there was anything he
wished done. Kicker motioned to a wal
let that was fastened in his clothing.
and the doctor opened it. First, small
photograph was held up, to see if it was
that which was wanted, but Kicker
shook his head and signaled to he doc
tor to keep on. Then three or four
letters were pulled out, one by one, and
then another photograph, all of which
were received with looks of disgust
from Kicker.
cat last the doctor pulled out a dirty
$40 bill, rolled up into a small ball,
and this was held up to Kicker. A
glance Of approval shot across the face
of Kicker, and he raised himself slight
" on his elbow and beckoned to the
doctor to get nearer, and then he whis-
pered hoarsely: I will bet you that,
d-n you, that live longer than you
do
''The truth is that Kicker got better,
was made a major, attended the funeral
OF the doctor, and did not die until
few years ago." -Lewiston Journal.

Two nR a Mind.

In the spring Of 1865, after Fort
Fisher had been captured, l was de-
tailed with four men to do scouting
duty. We had stopped for dinner,
when I thought to ride alone to the top
of a mountain near and see if l could
| learn anything while the boys made
the coffee l was soon on the noun
tain, and before knew it, in turning
point, was in the immediate neigh
borhood Of twenty North Carolina cav
airy. 1t was too late to retreat, and
so. doffing my hat, l put spurs to my
horse and rushed in among them, ex-
claiming: THE Yanks are just upon us
strong, and we must get out of this"
| They questioned me sharply about
how l, claiming to be one of them, was
wearing the Yankee blue. | told them
that was one of the Eleventh Texas
Cavalry, and was employed as a spy,
and was then on my way to Newbern.
could see that this story was believed
by all save a tall, shrewd, silent fell
low who said nothing. l rode in the
direction of Newbern with them that
afternoon, at night camping in a Sc
cluded spot, at no great distance from
Coxes picket line After supper, for
which l had a keen appetite, lay
thinking how to escape. When they had
all got to sleep I began to crawl out of
camp. l soon got upon my feet, and
was making my way the best | could
when | heard a musket click.
There stood the Johnny who did not
believe me. told him l had been out
picking up what information l could,
and wanted TO get back into camp, but,
having got bewildered, had lost my
way. and wished he would show me.
well, you are a slick one" he re-
sponded; "come on, l will show you
into camp"
I saw at once that he was taking
the wrong way to go to his camp, but

shade the Poultry Yard.

If it is necessary to confine the poul-
try during the summer and the Enclosure
cannot be placed near the shade of
buildings or trees, try the plan of grow
ing some plants just outside the fence,
but far enough from it so that the
fowls cannot get at the foliage One
Of the best plants for the purpose is
the Gamma, using the cheap, tall-growing
sorts, and buying the roots, not the
seeds. Another quick growing plant anu
one which will make an abundance OF
shade is the castor bean, which may be
grown from seeds planted where they
are to stay that is, the young plants
cannot we'll be transferred. Even corn
set thickly will furnish some shade
quickly, and if a vine is wanted, moth
ing is better than the common morning
glory, the seeds being sown thick and
the vines trained along; strings fastened
to the poultry yard fence. While the
vines or plants are growing erect Il
rough roof Of boards open on all sides
to supply temporary shade.

Vines in the Barnyard.

The barn should never be built near
tho house, and wherever it Is, it should
be kept as sanitary as the house itself.
country barnyard should be as neat
and tidy as the dooryard. There is no
reason why vines should not grow over
the walls and fences, and trees shade
the inclosed animals. It is possible to
have lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn, as freely as about
the shrubbery. The animals are not
any less happy, and one can pick great
punches for oneself and friends.

brotherhood. All are children of one
tather-and brothers each of the other
Ihls relation is the first thought in the
Lords prayer, Our Father, Who art in
heaven" which is the pattern prayer of
Christendom. 1t underlies the two COM
mandments which our Lord substituted
for the ancient ten-namely, "a Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart and with all thy soul and
with all thy mind" and CO Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as myself" Elk
pressed in terms Of property, it ap-
pears in our Lords teaching that a
man should regard himself merely as
the steward, not the owner, of his pos
sessions; that is, that his property is
not his to enjoy for himself, but only
to administer for the greatest good Of
his brethren.
No man is a true Christian who has
not made the fundamental surrender
Of himself and all that he has to God
il and through his fellow men. He
who, processing the name of Christian
ity, still regards worldly goo his
powers, his talents his knowledge, the
wealth which he has inherited or ac-
quired-as his for his own amusement,
for his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, for the en-
richment Of his children and not for
the service Of his brother men, has
tempted the spirit Of the Lord, and
his punishment is spiritual death. He
cannot know God, for God is love, but
to know God is to possess eternal life,
and not to know God is to be dead eter-
nally.
This is the fundamental truth of
Christianity, above all expressions of
creeds. A man may believe with his
mind and express with his lips belief
in all the doctrines of the Christian
church; unless he makes the surrender
of himself and what he possesses he
does not in fact believe in Christ.
True belief in Jesus Christ is the
acceptance as the rule Of life of the
spirit Of Christ, the spirit of service
and sacrifice. To choose as the stand
ard and the aim of ones life self-ad-
vancement or self-pleasing instead of
the service of ones fellows-above all,
to make ones very profession Of relig-
ion means Of f-prof1t-that is the
sin against the Holy Spirit which may
not be forgiven, neither here nor here
after. That is the meaning and the
lesson of the parable Of Ananias and
Sapphira, who agreed together to tempt
the spirit of the Lord.

Use of Coal Ashes.

While coal ashes contain no fertiliz-
ing value they are certainly useful on
the farm and should be saved. They
are not entirely valueless in the soil,
for they will materially assist in max
ing a stiff clay soil more workable II
we'll mixed with it. The best use for
coal ashes, however, is In the filing
in OF wet spots, sitting them and using
the fine ashes in the dust boxes In the
poultry houses and the coarser por-
lions for the making Of walks alone or

ing on any other breed the Wensley-
dale has no equal. Since the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England commenced
giving prizes for wool three years ago,
the Wensleydale wool has each time Sc
cured first prize in the "any other long
wooded class" No long wool produced
in the British Isles is equal to the
Wensleydale in quality or value.

Lest We Forget.

Full 40 years have come and gone since
the boys of 81
Came marching back, in their faded blue,
from the fields that they had won
Full 40 years have passed away, tnelr
ranks are sadly thin,
But whitened locks nor feeble limbs can
quench the fires within.
And now they tell how once they fought
their country's battles DER;
Of charges made and victories won on
battlefelds of yore;
Of Gettysburg and Donelson you often
hear them tell;
Of comrades dear who persisted there in
the rain of shot and shell.
At Mission Ridge, at Seven Oaks, on
Chickamauga's plain,
Death walked abroad, with awful mien,
Grim Reaper, through the grain.
Right ON the brave old heroes went, nor
finched when facing death,
Their lines of blue closed up when thin
ned by the baleful lannon's breath
With Farragut at New Orleans and
bloody Mobile Bay
They worked their guns, and courted
death, fighting their bloody way
Past forts manned with the very best of
Dixie's Cavaliers,
And broke the yoke the slaves had worn
for many weary years.
Shall we, their sons, forget tie deeds of
warriors gone before,
When the same old Flag they fought to
save is colored with their gore?
Shall we forget, and calmly sit, while the
grizzled vet'rans march
Beneath the trees of this broad land,
their own triumphal arch?
Shall we forget the sainted dead who at
their country's call
Gave up their lives in prison pens and
sleep beneath the pail
Of Southern cypress, or beneath the
snowy cotton fields,
In graves unmarked, still slumber on, at
rest upon their shields?
No no say! We'll not forget the deeds
of these our sires,
But ON our affairs will renew our Nations
hallewed fires.
Our dear old Flag the Stars and Stripes,
We'll proudly raise ON high,
OuI uSdIIo VIII CuIOU Will d pau IOL >
zeal, our cheers will reach the sky.
Our fathers deeds will be the pride of
thousands yet unborn
A thousand years will scarce efface the
glories that adorn
The noble brows of those we love, Column
bias bravest sons,
Who offered life, sacrifice, mid the thun-
der Of her guns
Let US, then, stand, their loyal sons, and
lend a helping hand
To those who in the hour of need gave
sucoor to our land.
Their mem'ries keep, their graves keep
green, the Flag that once they bore
In Southern lands shall be our pride and
care forever more.
And when at last our race is run, and we
cross the shining strand,
We pray our sons may do the same, and
keep our native land
Free from the hand that would destroy
what they fought hard to gain,
And try as hard as they have tried our
Nation to maintain.

marder, Camp so, S. V.

Applv a Good Fertilizer.

The value of vegetables depends
largely upon quick growth, and if
crops are not growing we'll some quick
acting fertilizer like nitrate Of soda,
guano or poultry droppings, should be

Frequent cultivation Of the soil with

Highest Court the Only Hope

Unless an appeal is taken to the
supreme court of the United States,
Pima comfy taxpayers will have
to make good s3ls,000 to the hold
ers of the narrow gauge bonds. No
alternative is offered. The board
of supervisors has been mandamus-
ed TO levy tax to raise this sum,
and If they fail to do so they will
be in contempt of the territorial
supreme court. This, in effect,
was the decision handed down by
the supreme court CT the territory
at its session last week.
The narrow gauge bonds origin
ally were sl50,000. The interest
on the bonds amounts to more
than the principal, and the com
bined principal and interest is
s3l8,OO0.
For the payment of this sum,
Pima county gets nothing in re-
turn. The history of the narrow
guage bonds is one of the black
pages in Pima county's record.
The road was constructed for DIS
tance of ten miles by INSCRIPTIONS
promoters, whose interest ceased
as soon as they had disposed of
the bonds and poeketed the
money.-IRcson Citisen.

Not Found in Catalogue

The Howell County Gazette, OF
West Plains, Mo. gives the follow
ing sensible advice to ITS readers,
concerning the catalogue houses:
"When your catalogue comes
from the mail order house, wait
until you get home before remov.
ing the wapper; then wait until
after supper, when the chores are
done; draw an easy chair to the
table where the light will shine
full on the pages, put on your
glasses that no bargain may escape
your eye, and settle down for an
hour OF quiet enjoyment.
"What a wonderful book it is,
to be sure-wonderful for what it
does not contain, as well as for
what it does. We miss some
things we would be glad to see.
Where is their offer to pay cash or
exchange goods for your wheat,
oats, corn, sheep or hogs free on
board?' Aow much tax will they
pay for improving roads and
bridges, for the support of the
poor, the expenses Of the town,
county or state? On what page is
their offer to contribute money or
services in the establishment and
maintance Of a church or Sunday
school for the moral tone of your
community? What line of credit
will they extend to you when your
credit is poor, your money gone,
when through illness or misfortune
you are not able to send 'cash
order for your groceries, clothing
farm tools and crockery? Where
is their offer to contribute to your
entertainment next 4th Of July?
"In what department do they
explain to you the increasing value
of your farm as result of trading
with them?
"If you find the queries satisfact
orly answered, bring the answers
in and most merchants will go to
farming and let town go to grass.
"Under such conditions no towns
are needed further than to furnish
a railroad station, an express Office
and case for rural mail carriers
all of which may be covered by
one roof"
