<Feka. They knew what allied their
comrades but they kept their own
counsel. The report of the corporal
was accepted without question, and the
incident passed into history.
Had Eureka been well in limb he
would have made his way back to the
fort before dark. AS it was, he fed and
drank and slept. They had given him
his discharge from the service-had
made an outlaw of him, and he had no
further right on the lines or in the
stables. He did not move out of the
glade that day or night About mid
night a big timber wolf came out Of the
foothills and circled around him and
up with painful effort and made ready
to defend himself with teeth and hOof-
The wolf did not attak. however, and
when daylight came the cripple hob
bied up. the valley in search of a more
secure retreat. That was in the last
days of May. The valley was not set
tied and the horse had it all to him
self, except for the few deer, buffalo
and wild horses that strayed in coca
sionally.
June, July and August came and
went, and one day early in September
the battery was taken out for drill It
had been at work for half an hour with
evoIutiOns when it suddenly wheeled
into position unlimbered and went into
action and the guns began to boom.
/ OF a sudden the men set up wild
cheering. Captain, HeutenantS and
first sergeants sat their horses in scowl-
ing wonder at such a breach of discip-
line, but it was only a moment before
the puzzle was solved. Galloping to-
ward them down the s1oping hillside,
with name and tail flying in the breeze
and his heels in the air half the time,
was Eureka whose bones all thought
had been picked by the wolves long
ago. On he came. neighing as the men
cheered. and reaching the gun he
sought to crowd out the horse that had
taken his place.

HUGHES WANTS FREE PHONES.
Has some Ideas Which He VIII Seek
to Put Into Bell Franchise.

Free telephones for the city and
maximum rate clause are two OF the
things which Councilman Hughes says
he will fight for when the Bell tele-
phone franchise comes up for consid-
Grafton. This will be al the next meet
ing of the council.
The Bell Telephone company wants
an extension Of their franchise for q
term of 25 years; the present franchise
expires April 18th. 1908.
The Independent Telephone com
pany recently secured twenty years
extension of their franchise. The fran
chise as originally passed granted the
city the use of twenty free phones and
this clause was left unchanged. The
Bell company allows the city half
rate on the telephones used by it. This
is the only concession which the city
has from the Bell company.
II can tell you one thing, said
Councilman Hughes. Il am going to
make a fight for free telephones. We
ought to have something for these
franchises and the Bell company
ought to be made to give US the same
number of phones for nothing that
the Independent company does. And
there is another thing we ought to
have Inserted in the franchise and that
is RE clause, so that the company
can't boost up the price for it's phones
if 1t wants TO. We ought to be pro-
tected some way. If the Bell company
should happen to buy up the other
company there is nothing to keep the
rates for telephones from climbing sky
high. I don't know whether the fight
will win but I am going to start it,

A Chance for HIS Lire.


As every man in Battery NJ had a
name to answer at roll call. SO every
horse at every gun and catsson had a
name to be known by, and some of
them answered as readily as the men.

stationed there to awe and keep the
Indians IN check, gun No. had a
piece of hOrsef1esh so perfect that he
was one of the sights of the fort He
had been named Eureka when first
coming to the battery in Chicago, and
a bit of romance had been woven into
his history
Soldiers and citizens who wondered
at seeing so beautiful a horse in the
camp of the artillery were told that he
belonged to a handsome young lady in
the Windy City whose father had failed
in business, and that Eureka had been
turned over to the creditors along with

lieved It he had more care for the sol
dier's feelings than to openly say so.
A soldier is all the better soldier for
mixing q little romance with his bacon
and hard tack.
Eureka had been with the battery for
over two years, and had made two sue
ceSSfui 4ndlan campaigns, when
tragedy came into his life. One of his
hind legs began to swell and in three OF

HAVING MADE EASY.
Handling the Hay Crop Without
Hired Help ON "a New York Farm.

Handling the Hay Crop without
Hired Help ON a New York Farm.
Having a hay crop of large amount
to take care of, the first thing to look
to is a first class mower. Get to work
at cutting in the morning as soon as
most of the dew is off. Nothing is
gained by laying down heavy swath
of hay wet with dew. Cut no more
than you are likely to handle easily the
next afternoon. AS soon as the outside
rows are dry enough to rake start the
side delivery hayrake, going round the
piece in the same direction that you
went with the mower. If not dry
enough to draw in right off, leave in
the windrow overnight. After you
have moved another strip for the next
raking go over the windrows with your
side delivery rake and just turn them
over, and the chances are that you and
Willie or Mary can go right to hauling
in.
Now hitch your steadiest team on the
wagon carrying box hayrack sixteen
feet long, ten feet wide and having
Slated sides four and half feet high.
Hook on your hay loader and get strad-
die of one of those windrows just as
quick as possible. Let the child drive,
and you will have all the business you
want for the next ten minutes; it will
depend on how good your wind is and
how fast the team walks. Better drive
very slow. The load is now on. I'm
hook the loader, let it stand just where
it stopped and go to the barn.
We put the old family horse on the
end of the rope, with hook, so Willie
or Mary can easily unfasten the Whit
fetree from it, Never mind any one in
the NOV. Set the double harpoon hay
fork in the hay and start. The horse
easily snatches up 300 or 400 pounds
of hay on to the carrier in the top of
the barn, and you let it run along the
track till you have it over the back end
Of the bay; then pull the trip cord, and
away it goes clear to the bottom Of the
NOW. Continue in the same manner
For about seven or eight minutes and
the load is Off Get up in the NOW and
In five minutes it is nearly level OF
course it is easier to have man in the
NOW to help unload, but you can do
without him. This is the little story OF
"Haying Made Easy" as told by
farmer in Rural New Yorker.
