,oortohle relic OF the war OF 1SGl-6J
except that owned by R T. .,. Knox ",,, x *
Bro. Of this city. Sunday he was out IN
Spotsylvania and went to the home m on
Mr. Geo Perry with parties viewing the
battlefelds Mr.. Perry had plcEeI, IL 1i up
on the field near "Bloody Angle. The
relic is a federal built imbedded in the
biz big end cf a ramrod OF gun. The gun
was 20 evidently held to the shoulder OF a
Confederate soldier in the act Of being
fred when the bullet struck the big end
OF the ramrod squarely and there became
fixed. The ramrod is bent ior more
than two inches. Some people may be
credulous as to the statement OF its be-
ing a federal bullet and Confederate
gun. The bull,ts used 10y iederals had
three rings and those 10y Coniederate'
two. The bullet referred to, while some
what battered has plainly three rings.

FIGHT sDOPE. CHAT.
Herrera and Neary to Scrap At NIL.
waukee ON Friday.

Milwaukee has scheduled the big
battle Of the week when Aurelio Her
rera and Neary get together in the hop
settlement Friday night.
This affair should be one of those
slam-bang battles. Neary Is about as
scientific as washerwoman, but has
wallop in either hand and is a great
mixer. Herrera has the edge when it
comes to speed and cleverness but he
will have to be pretty nifty to get away
from the Milwaukee man. Neary can
take all sorts of punishment and is
dangerous as long as there is any
breath in his body. His danger lies in
attempting to corner the greaser and
put him away, as many man has
rushed the tortilla consumer into a
corner to his sorrow
1t will not be one of those fast,
"footy" battles with in and out work
and close infighting, but a slam-bang
affair. like two bull pups arguing over
a bone in the alley. They will either
fiddle for fair or mix for keeps. Mel
Their one of them has it in him to cleo
trtfy the spectators with any great
amount of fancy work. They are even
ly matched and it is really too good
battle to waste on as bum a boxing
center as Milwaukee. This bout could
do $4,000 in Minneapolis, but If they
get half of it down in Havenor's village
the promoters will have fits.

out August and September It multi.
plies remarkably. You are able to
divide it after the first year, increase
your border and share with your
friends. The plants are so hardy that
you need never give them an anxious
thought. Its habit" is good and it's
foliage handsome except at the bottom
"a shortcoming which can be hidden
by planting something else in front.
In the hardy border it makes an ad-
mirable background against q fence.
A large number of plants of few
kinds usually makes better effect
than few of each Of great many
kinds, says the editor of the Garden
Magazine.
In front of these very tall plants
should come the larkspurs, foxgloves
and others, that grow to q height Of
three feet or so. In front of these
come columbines, bleeding heart, day
lilies, luplnes and score of medium
sized ones. Low edging plants, either

to the edge of the lawn. English
daisies, pansies, primulas and low
flags are used for this. Sweet alyssum
is good. too. 1t has delightful habit
of self-sowing. so that it may fill all
the space available, covering the
ground between the taller, more
"stemmy" plants. Most good garden
ers have prejudice against bare soil.
They would almost harbor q weed
rather than an unproductive square
foot in the border. l like to raise q
great many seedlings of forget-me-nots
and pansies and poke them in
wherever there is a gap. The first
year it Is we'll to SOW Shirley poppy
and zinnia seeds broadcast among the
perennials, which are, very properly,
planted far apart to give them room to
expand, and thin them out when they
crowd.

Must Use seiye Test.

Grain buyers over the state are con-
siderably wrought up over a recent
ruling of the Minnesota state grain
inspection board. Under the new rul-
ing buyers here will be forced to apply
what is known as the "sieve test" to
each and every load of wheat bought.
Heretofore the buyers have used their

own judgment in determining the
amount of dockage, but after this they
must first obtain a uniform sample
from each load, carefully weigh it,
then sift 1t absolutely free of dirt and
other foreign substances, reweigh the
cleaned sample and then, ION a basis
established by the inspection board"
they are to determine the exact amount
of dockage to be taken

Blank was surprised to find that it
was z o'clock when he awoke this
morning. How is this" he muttered,
II was not awakened at o'clock as
usual. Then he looked over at the
barnyard where the rooster lived.
"Is it possible" he gasped, Gould it
be that? "Then a smile gradually
spread over his face. He clutched his
window sill and listened for the ia
miliar sound but all he heard was the
rustling of the window shade. All
was still in the hen coop.
Blank saw, too, that the people in
the house Immediately fronting the
yard were going about with sad ex-
preston. The happy man then went
down and ate a good square breakfast
and smoked good cigar on the porch,
Blank noticed that there was also a
ring Of happiness in the salutations
of the neighbors, indeed, one man who
had been suffering with insomnia for
weeks, came upon the porch, clasped
his hands without a word and sat
down beside him with sigh of re-
lief.
It was then that Blank was told the
story which he afterwards repeated
to an Evening Times reporter.

surrounding the death of the bird and
an angry owner promises to make
things lively for several midnight
prowlers," as he is wont to call them.

PUNCH Is FLEETING.
Corbett's Famous Punch Comes to Life
ARaln-On \ Mllkman.

1t Is hard for an actor man who has
been a pugilist to forget that he is OF
the elect and residing with the gods
upon the Olympus of Art. Every now
and then the actor man feels him
self a-slipping and whenever he is slip

retains the old punch that sent several
good men and true into the land of the
aurora borealis.

Bayside. Long Island. James has been
before the village cadi on charge of
assault, and the trial is coming. James
Is talking just like he used to when he
would draw you to one side and tell
you how he intended bounding Jefferies
into giving him another battle. He
says he will have the COW foundry man
arrested for hitting his bull terrier
with plebeian milk bottle.
We are unable to give true story
of the battle of the Creamos just yet.
