Jimmy Hyde and Chauncey Depew as pawns in the corrupt game, but the damned spot will not out until the whole truth is known and the whole crime eXpiated.
 The publication of the Roosevelt Hartman correspondence places the president in his true colors before the American people. It explains his hot haste in condemning Mover, Haywood and Pettibone to the gal lows and sending Taft to Idaho to assure the shelter trust and warn the protesting people tha the Kidnapping of the workingmen had the sanction of the White House and would have the support of the national administration.
 Prom now on there will be sharp decline in the stock of Theo- dore Roosevelt. His corps of press agents at the capital may continue to grind out three-column stories about the awful conspiracy of his ,trusty friends to ruin him, but his bubble Is pricked and the cheap glory in which he reveled is departing forever.

Gen. Porter, in the Century, says:
"While at the mess table taking our
last meal before starting upon the
march to the james on the evening Of
the 18th. the conversation turned upon
the losses which had occurred and the
reinforcements which had been re-
ceived up to that time. The figures
then known did not differ much from
those contained in the accurate official
reports afterward compiled. From the
.,ening of the campaign, May 4, to the
movement across the James, June II,
the total casualties in the army of the
Potomac, including Sheridan's cavalry
and Burnside's command, had been
Killed, 1921; wounded, $3.50; cap
tured or missing, 1866; total, 54,026.
The services of all the men included
in these figures were not, however, per-
manently lost to the army. a number
of them were prisoners who were aft
erward exchanged, and many had been
only slightly wounded and were soon
ready for duty again. Some were doubt
less counted more than once, as a sol
der who was wounded twice in battle
and afterward killed may have been
counted three times in making up the
list Of casualties, whereas the army had
really lost but one man.
"The losses of the enemy have never
Deer ascertained. No precise informa-
ton on the subject has been discovered,
and not even a general statement can
hn mazda Of hic nDCIlpltinS In u few
of the battles of this campaign his
losses were greater than the losses suf-
fered by the Union troops; in the great
er part of the battles they were less.
Our reinforcements had amounted to
just about the same number as tie
losses. 1t was estimated from the
best Sources of information that Lee
had also received achievements equal
to his losses, so that the armies were
now Of about the same size as when the
campaign began.
"All the achievements organized in
way to the front did not reach us.
There was a good deal of truth in the
remark reported to have been made by
Mr.. Lincoln: we get n large body of
reinforcements together and start them
to the front; but after deducting the
sick. the deserters, the s%tragglers and
the discharged, the numbers seriously
diminish by the time they reach their
destination. 1t is like trying to shovel
feas across a barnyard; you can't get
them all there"

Not Good Twice.

Lincoln's stories grew better and bet.
ter as he grew older. One of the best
was told to a visitor who congratu-
lated him on the almost certain pur-
pose on the part of the people to re-
elect him for another term of four
years. Mr.. Lincoln replied that he Lad
been told this frequently before, n
that when it was first mentioned to
him he was reminded of a farmer In
Illinois who determined to try his own
hand at blasting. After successfully
boring and filling in with powder he
failed in his effort to make the powder
go off, and after discussing the u
with a Iooker-on and failing to detect
anything wrong in the powder, the
farmer suddenly came to the conclu-
sion that it would not go off because it
had been shot before.

Caring for the Wounded.

Such things as are found on the per-
sou of the wounded or on The field of
battle are used. If a mans leg is
broken by a bullet the proper splints
would not be at hand. The broken
limb would be comfortably fastened to
his rife by means of the gun sling, his
belt, handkerchief or necktic, and the
sufferer laid out 81 made as comfort
able as possih.a till the litter bearers
could carry him back to the rear, his
conteen being placed within reach. A
severed ar.ery would receive a COM
press made by placing a small stone or
piece of wood against a wad of cloth,
and the makeshift twisted by means
of a handkerchief or belt and the Dayo-
net or a tent peg. Maybe 1t wodld be
necessary to elevate the leg TO stop the
flow of blood from a wosnd. This
would be done by means Of the rifle.
A man wounded but able to walk would
be showed how to use his rifle as Il
crutch, and also to assist another man
to the ear for better treatment. Slings
for wounded arms are i~mproviSed by
the skirt Of the Goa or by ripping the
sleeve. Litters are improvised by
means Of two rifles and a blanket, Or
akirg use OF the bed sack, shipping
Off the corners ans thrusting two rifles
through the holes. And SO on these
means might be named. The uniform
of the hospital corps is similar to that
worn by the other men of the army ex-
cept that the trousers bear a stripe of
emerald green piped with white down
the outer seam of the trousers. On tie
left arm above the elbow IS a white
brassard containing Il red Geneva cross.
On the cap is Il white metal Geneva
cross. which, under the articles of the
Genev convention, carries some i'm
mun!ty TO the members of the hospital
corps when engaged OH duty in the field
Turing active service. All young Off
cc-s of our army are instructed by
4 of lectures and object lessons
in this most important duty OF first aid,
and many cases might be cited where
the lives of brother officers or comrades
have been saved where accidents have
occurred on hunting trips far from
skilled assistance, but where the simple
rules taught at military posts have
been made use Of and resulted In prop
erlv treating the wounded until the
most was reached and the surgeons aid
invoked" G CIfVH. %U&5

~Snrnxinc Potatoes.

Careful potato growers can no longer
doubt the advantages Of spraying in
blight years; but some doubt whether
the practice is profitable year after
year. Tests along this line have been
continued for five years by the Expert
ment Station at Geneva; and the evil
dence presented in Bulletin No 300,
giving details of the fifth years test
andsImmaries of preceding ones, seems
conclusive in favor of the practice.
The gain each year has been profitable -;
and there is already much more than
enough excess Of gain over cost to pay
for spraying five years more. Similar
gains, though not quite so great, were
obtained by farmers under tests care
fully checked by the station and by
much larger number of farmers who
sprayed independently.

The strain of the Red Texas oats
which has given the largest yield for
two seasons and which stands third in
order of yield for the four years trial
has been grown at the Kansas station
for four years and has seemed to inn
prove rather than to deteriorate in
quality and yield. Oats are not consid-
cred well adapted for growing in this
State. 1t is the general experience
that oats soon run OUT in Kansas,
and farmers consider it necessary to
secure new seed every two or three
years. The trials at the Kansas sta
ton, however, indicate that it Is not
only possible to maintain the quality
and yield of oats, but also to even i'm
prove them by good culture and by
sowing only the best grade.

Saving the Clover.

It Is q failing of the American farm
er when a blade of grass or a stem Of
clover makes a strong showing to try
to turn it into beef, mutton or pork.
In this effort to utilibze it he entirely
forsets that the plant may need a little
winter protection. He does not under
stand how little is often sufficient to
save the plant from frost destruction.
Where the clover is not pastured 1T Is
often allowed to perfect it's seed, which
is as fatal to the crop next year as the
winter freezing. Clipping would save
the crop where it is so forward as to
bloom and perfect seed.-Rural New
