A very sensible bit of advice ex- pressed in homely language was given by man not long ago to an excitable and Quarrelsome friend. 1t was in a brickyard, and two of the workmen had engaged in an angry dispute which eliminated In a fierce encOun- ter. In the skirmish one of the com batants was hastily hurt on the head, and the employer, who happened to come on the scene of action when the fight was finishing and was a man of more temper than discretion, advised the injured one to get a warrant for the others arrest While the matter was being discussed by number of worlzmen who had gathered round a big, burly fellow who had heard ev- erything and seen the whole affair made his way to the man with the damaged cranium and said:

 It will be recalled that the old board experienced some confusion along this line last year At that time there were several members on the board that could not agree on the salary limit and 1t caused some little discussion among the members. It Is believed the present board will adopt the baseball rule" and keep within the limit and give every teacher everything he deserves.

l longed, under the direction of General 1 Lee, assaulted the right wing of Sher- mans army. After two hours of fierce and bloody fighting, we having failed to 1 drive the enemy from his position, were l withdrawn to the top of a ridge from the | point where we had started. General Lee then reformed and supplied us with ammunition, and then ordered us to renew the assault, but to move further to our left and the enemy's right. In this ag< sault we succeeded in turning the eneFlf $ right and were pressing them back, when we came suddenly into contact with an entirely fresh corps of the enemy's troops. We were not in condition to fight fresh troops, for the reason that we had been fighting for five or six hours and the day was one of the hottest l ever experienced. We were without any water and on account of the thirst and heat our tongues were swollen so as to protrude from our mouths. I can see before me now as plain as on that day the fresh corps of troops pressing down upon us with their magnificent silk flags emblaz- oned with great golden eagles They out fanked us, and. of course gradually drove us back to the ridge from which we had originally started. On reaching this position we were so exhausted and broken to pieces to be unable to hold the ridge against fresh troops General Lee had foreseen from the time we struck the fresh troops what would be the result and had immediately collected and con centrated about 50 12-pound brass Napo- leon guns and had them planted on a ridge that soon as we passed be- hind them he could open fire upon the confident advancing column of the enemy. We took position on the side of a ridge behind the artillery, where we were com paratively out of danger General Lee x4rau l,t- It. holding 1t in the air, and riding back and forth from one end of this great battery of artillery to the other He was directing the fire of the guns and encouraging his men. The gunners fell thick and fast, but their places were filled immediately and I do not believe there is a case in history where artillery was more success fully and oourageously employed to drive back a victorious army. General Lee looked like the god of war. I can see his face now. positively radiant. as he had these guns to mow down the enemy and check the assault. I expected to see him fall at every minute, but the God of Bat ties protected him and spared his life to his country and countrymen This uncs oual contest continued for an hour, when he finally succeeded in breaking the en- emy's ranks and driving them from the field with his artillery.
 Next Time in Battle.
 'The next time I saw General Lee in battle was on the field at Jonesboro. You are all familiar with that terrible and bloody assault that he made upon Logan's corps.
 When we struck the enemy's breast works, with the guns under the logs not more than foot apart they opened fire upon us and our troops went down like grain betore scythe. Never did I wit ness such destruction of life, and those that were left were within 40 feet of the breastworks and stood there stubbornly
