Promoted on battlefield.

I was ordered to carry some ammu-
milton to the boys at the very front.
The regiment lay against the hillside
under a CALLING fire. One hardly dared
lift his head above the ground, fearing
to be killed. l got my bundles of car
tridges to the men and sat down in a
depression in the hillside. | was safe

| had a chance to think, there with
the bullets whizzing within three feet
of me. We could go neither forward
nor back. We were just sitting around
and being killed. Still, the attack had
not been given up. Sitting in that pro
tected spot, dozen soldiers, with
heads bowed low, crept past me. Each
carried a musket and a little ladder.
They were to make the desperate at
tempt to try and place these ladders
across the ditch, when the regiment
would climb over them and cross into
the works. These laddermen passed so

once, at least, l felt death to be how
ering very near. These men had surely
volunteered to die. Few, or none of
them. ever were seen again. Our as
sault failed. Our whole brigade crept
down the gullies and ravines as best
we could and got away.
Again we tried it another point. and
there our leader, Col. Boomer, calling
to the Iowa men to follow him, was
shot dead. 1t was shutdown and the
storming of the city was abandoned
The siege began. Like beavers, we dug
and dug till all the hills in front of
the forts were honeycombed with rife
pits. Every soldier at the front fired
his hundred rounds a day. whether an
enemy was seen or not. The men in
side the forts did the same with u.s.
and at intervals a hundred cannon
poured exploding shells into the city.

Protected Milk Phil.

That many of the odors and much Of
the dirt which gets into milk is during
the process of milking most Of US know,
hence every precaution to overcome
this should be taken. One of the best
methods of protecting the milk in the
pail is to arrange a cover Of tin and
cheese cloth. Have tin cover made to
go over the pail loosely so as to allow
for the space taken by the cloth strainer.
The tin cover should be higher in the
center than at the sides (see small cut
to right and a hole about four inches
in diameter made in the front center
through which the milk is directed.
Then have plenty of cheese cloth COW

lie IS urged to give up the use of his
head that he may develop his heart.
He even is told that faith is incom-
pat1Dle with reason, and love with logic.
SO strong is the emphasis on this that
he Is led to suspect that Incidence is
seeking to defy ignorance, and that
men whose intellectual faculties have
atrophied by their subsection to the
emotional now are envious of those who
retain the power to think clearly, and
would have them also deprived Of these
powers.
Nothing could be more clearly op-
posed to the way of truth than the no.
ton that religion can be bought only at
the price of reason, or that the conse-
quence of using the intelligence is the
losing of the power of affection for the
divine, the good, and the true-of the
warmth of heart and feeling that often
determine character and conduct.
If the faculties are God given they
are given for working purposes. If
man has mind and vet may not think
concerning the deepest and highest
things Of his own nature and destiny,
then the giving of that mind or the per-
hitting 1t to develop is the most cruel
mockery known to human history.
But the simple law of nature that
every faculty has some purpose, that no
power is without it's duty. is the an
sWer to all this. The mind is as sacred
as the heart; it is as much a sacred
duty to think as it is to aspire. There
is nothing too holy for men to think
about, to reason about. The mind must
serve the truth-must with reverence
lead to larger truth.
No man is religious who represses
any Of his reasoning faculties. Every
one OF the higher powers must be
brought to their greatest perfection Not
by dwarfng. @denying, but by develop
ing do Pen glorify their Creator. Just
as the finest tree in the forest speaks
most eloquently of the bounty and
beauty of nature, so does the gigantic
intellect glorify the intelligence that
ordered it's being.
Fear not to think of sacred things
nothing is sacred because it is mysteri-
Gus; reverence does not dwell apaps
from reason. Faith does not reach it's
perfection in the fool it shines most
glorious where wisdom dwells There
still are the SlIDerStitiOuS Sol11s who
confound darkness with divinity; who
cry aloud against the light Of knowl-
edge. But they can no more stay the
discovery of truth than the bats can
hold back the dawn,

Old Comrades Meet.


About forty years ago on a spring
morning, Abner Crull, Of the Four
teenth Regiment, Indiana Artillery,
saw his army chum, Caleb Trees,
thrown into an ambulance and started
for the pesthouse, victim of small
pox in an advanced stage. Physicians
stated there was no hope Of recovery,
and the Hoosier soldier mourned for
the man who had fought shoulder to
shoulder with him through three long
years, as for a lost brother.
Recently the Alvin Hovey Post, G.
A. R., of indianapolis, held its installa-
ton of officers. Among the gray hair
ed veterans who took part in the cere-
monies was Abner Crull, 1902 Nordyke
street. He was standing in the rear
of the hallway when suddenly friends
noticed that his bronzed face paled.
His eyes were fixed with an intent
look upon the face of a man whose hair
was as gray as his own-a portly
stranger however, who was gazing at
him as intently as he was being scru-
tiniZed.
Closely the two men came together
Their hands were outstretched. Not a
word did either utter until each, with
a gulp, has swallowed a lump which
evidently would not down.
"Ab," said one.
"Cal," hoarsely calculated the other
Those who saw the meeting say that
big tears rolled down the cheeks Of
the two old soldiers as they stood, re-
CARELESS of surroundings. gazing with
out a word at one another.
Many times since the close of the
great civil war have comrades of
bloody battle fields clasped hands
after long separations, because of the
Army of the Republic.
Members of the Hovey Post, how
ever, who witnessed the meeting of the
two old artillerymen, state that they
never saw another which was so af-
fecting.
1t was hours before the two babe
one another goodnight. They had
fought over old battles; recalled old
army tales both had all but forgot

that his comrade had been killed in a

years, few weeks ago Mr.. Trees de-

with his children. The family reside

To Drive Away the Green Fly.


Next to clean water for the destruc-
ton Of green fly upon the majority Of
plants, gardeners value soft soap the
most; when judiciously used it is an
unfailing remedy and attended with no
risk. Dissolved in water, at the rate
Of two ounces Of soap to one gallon of
water, and the plants dipped in the
liquid, or syringed with it, so that 1t
reaches insects in sufficient quantities
to thoroughly wet them, it will do its
work in the most effectual manner. 1t
is however, a remedy that requires the
exercise Of a little forethought. If 1t
is to be used i'll houses it should be ap-
piled in the evening, when the house
will be closed for several hours, and
when it will not dry up too quickly.
When the liquid is to be applied to
plants or trees growing in the open air
it should be done in the evening of
warm and still days. If there Is only
a little wind blowing the liquid 50
quickly disappears that it is dried up
before 1t has time to complete its work
nf destruction.

Weeds in Corn.

The corn plant is a gross feeder and
accepts any kind of manure that may
be applied, but it will not thrive in
partnership with any other plants, for
which reason it must be kept free from
grass and weeds, in order to have it
mature before frost comes in the fall,
which necessitates the frequent use OF
the cultivator The clean preparation
of the land before planting and the
stirring of the surface soil after every
rain destroys weeds and grass, which
permits the farmer to accomplish such
task at the least cost, as he benefits
the corn crop while preparing the land
for another the following season. For
this reason, where large fields are cul-
tivated, there can be no substitute for
corn, and whether prices rise or fall
the corn crop is a necessary adjunct to
farming in this country. On the farm
its value is not confined to It's grain
alone, but the entire plant can be util-
lied for some purpose. 1t is therefore,
the most inexpensive preparatory crop
known. Every farmer aims to secure Il
crop Of corn, and late planting is re-
sorted to rather than incur total fail
ure. Success with late-planted crop
depends upon the condition Of the soil,
the variety and the mode Of cultiva-
ton, but the main drawback Is the ap
pearance of frost early in the season,
which, however, does not frequently
occur.

Handling Guinea Fowls.

Young guinea fowls are quite tender
and need feeding frequently, say every
two hours, for a week or two. They
can be raised successfully If fed SINH
lar to turkeys or young chicks with a
variety of feed, including small seeds,
etc. They must have pure water and
shade and some animal feed, such as
worms, grubs, or green bone. Mrs Tate
wrote to Farm and Home that her
chicks are fed equal parts of bran, corn
meal, crushed rice, and little bone
meal. and some ground raw potatoes
each day after the first week. Chicks
are fed all dry food In hoppers, SO none
is wasted or soiled. They are fed all

According to an expert in the en-
pIoy of the Interior Department, the
enormous basin drained by the Mis-
souri, River absorbs no less than IS per
cent Of all the rain that falls upon it,
whereas the basin of the Ohio River
absorbs only 70 per cent. The amount
Of rainfall In the course of a year is
proportionately greater in the Ohio
than in the Missouri basin, and so the
former river, although much the short
er Of the two, contributes more water
to the Mississippi than does its ggan-
tic rival from the west

it may be secured by a tape or by slip

Put on one of these covers, then the tin

The cheese cloth will prevent any filth
getting to the milk, and If these covers
are washed in boiling water and sun

SHORT CUTS TO RICHES.
By Rev. Polemus II. Swi

One Of the most subtle and dangerous
temptations is that which inclines US
to seek perfectly legitimate and worthy
ends by unjustifiable and destroy
ing short cuts. One has a desire to
make money. That is not an ignoble
desire in itself. Quite the contrary.
But when he yields to the temptation to
do dishonorable things to get rich
quickly he has wronged himself beyond
power of words to describe
These short cuts are many. They
are questionable or unrighteous bust
ness methods the adulteration Of food
products; the making of gain of other
peoples necessities the boosting of
prices because people must buy your
products, gambling, political chicanery,
the abuse of public or private conf
dence, the employment of unhOly means
on the theory that the end juStifies the
means. A hundred others will readily
suggest themselves.
But remember that the man who
takes the short cut sells himself to the
devil. The gains that are reached by
short cuts will not profit. The king
doma will still belong to his satanic
ma jesty.
