An Old Militia Company Roll.
ROckbridge County News.)

Mr.. John F. kirkpatrick of Bolivar
Mills, has handed the County News a
muster roll, of date June 1861, of the
Bolivar Mill company of state militia,
many Of whom were soon to embark
for real war. This roll was made by
John Anderson, orderly sergeant of the
company, and was preserved by his
son, James M. Anderson.
Up to the Civil war there were two
regiments of militia in the county that
drilled regularly one year. One mus
ter ground was on the old Stuart land
southeast of Brownsburg, the other at
Fancy Hill. Companies of the regiment
had annual drills in the vicinity of
their homes; the drill ground for the
Bolivar Mill company, which included
recruits of that vicinity, was sometimes
on what is now the John ZOllman farm
and again on what is now the w. N.
Bell farm. 1t is recalled that at the
meeting of the company in June 1861;
it was then meeting monthly owing to
the war; the company was addressed
by Captain J. ID. HI. Ross, who urged
the men to enlist in the Confederate
service and many did so. The roll, of
whom few survive, is:
Officers: James M. Ackerly, captain; !;

Made Kettle Out of A Cent.

A unique plea will win discharge
from the workhouse for George
O'Rourke, whom Magistrate Moss said
last night he should take steps to free.
From the workhOuse, where the Mag
istrate committed him as vagrant on
January IA last, O'Rourke sent a tiny
copper kettle constructed out of single
cent, and with it letter explaining to
Magistrate Moss
"I had no other way to verify my
statement that / can earn my living as
a tinker, a tinsmith, or acoppersmith. "
According to his letter, O'Rourke is
also an expert granite cutter, and he
refers to Alderman Charles Delaney
for confirmation of this statement, and
besides, he is so good carpenter that
he has had full charge for time of the
carpentry work in the Tombs prison.
O'Rourke's kettle is beautifully
polished, and no sign that it was made
from coin remains on it except on the
bottom, where the words ''One Cent"
still show plainly. 1t has a removable
cover and is big enough to hold pea.
Magistrate Moss will wear it as watch
charm.

A QUIET GAME.
PARTY IN GUATEMALA
WITH GAME LEARNED AT WEST
POINT-A MAN WELL KNOW
IN STAUNTON IN IT


The New York American says: 1t
wasn't exactly 'the old army game, y
but it was its young and active brother,
the West Point game of draw poker,
that surprised a number of members of
the American colony at Guatemala
City, including the American consul
general, and caused a shrinkage in
bankrOlls that made financial panic
look tame by comparison.
The story of the game, which has
caused something as nearly approach
ing sensation in the sleepy Central
American city as climatic conditions
will permit, was brought to New York
recently by Don Arthur Calvo. The
young man is the son OF Don Joaquin
Bernardo Calvo, minister from Costa
Rica to Washington, and his father
was highly amused listener to the
tale in the Hoffman House
One day last week, just after the
siesta hour, the club at Guatemala City
began to fill. Several Americans ar
rived, and poker game was suggested.
There were only four men present who
answered the call, and no one wanted
to play four-handed, so they began to
look about for recruit.
Seated on the balcony of the club
was young South American. He was
guest of the club, but none of the
Americans knew him. Nevertheless,
they wanted to start the game, and he
was asked if he played. 81 know a
little about it," he replied, and the
other players congratulated themselves
in advance. 1t slooked easy"
When the game broker up the stranger
was several thousand pesos to the good.
Consul-General Kent was one of the
big losers at the game.
"And where did you learn to play
poker?" asked one of the Americans
while the young South American was
slowing away his gains.
CAT West Point. l graduated there
last year."
81 was that South American" said
young Mr.. Calvo at the conclusion OF
his story, and he laughed again. at the
discontinue of the clubmen of Guate-
mala City who thought they had intro
duced a novice into the game
AT West Point young Calvo was one
of the most daring among the students
where fun of any kind was concerned,
ton at the request of the war depart
ment, President Roosevelt reinstated
him, and he was graduated last year.

NEW WOODS COMING INTO USE.

The scientific study of the merits OF
many species of trees against the use OF
which there has been prejudice for
one reason or another is one of the most
important phases of the forest work OF
the government, from an economic
standpoint, and the Investigations
which have already been made have
provided the lumber industry with
much valuable information.
The latest discoveries of valuable
qualities in former neglected spices
resulted after an investigation of the
tupelo gum, which finds its home in
the Southern swamps. Experts say
that the study has brought out rs i'm
portant data as the studies made on the
loblolly pine, another species which
was neglected for many years, but
which is now put to valuable use for
many purposes.
Tupelo, two years ago, at the time
the study was begun, was little known
and seldom used even in the sections of
the country where it is most plentiful.
In the logging off of fcypress in the Gulf
States, where tupelo is found in large
quantities, the trees were entirely dis
regarded. 1t was found that the preju-
dice then existing against the wood was
caused by lack of knowledge of its
properties and lack of care in handling
the material. The Investigations have
been carried on by the United States
Forest Service, and have proved the
value of the wood for number of uses.
The result of these studies removed,
very largely, the existing prejudices
against this gum, and in a short time
the demand for tupelo rapidly increas-
ed
This wood is now widely used, not
only in the State where it grows, but
also in distant sections of the country,
in the manufacture of wooden pumps,
sounding boards for viOlins and organs,
mantelS, and interior finishing, such as
molding, door and window frames, and
door jambs. 1t is manufactured also
into all kinds of lumber, including a
good grade of edgegrain flooring. Tupelo
gum, in the form of flooring, was re-
Gently found competing successfully
| with Doughlas fir in the Los Angeles
market, even though bearing freight
rate of IS cents per hundred weight
from its source of production in Louisi-
ana.
| This is only one example of the
studies carried on by the government
for the purpose of creating markets and
establishing uses for the kinds of wood
whose properties are not understood.
The reason for making these studies is
that by finding substitutes for woods
now in use which have grown scarce in
consequence of an excessive demand,
the timber supply of the country is in
effect increased, the most economical
use of wood is promoted, and the evils
of a general shortage in wood supply
are TO that degree lessened.

THH NEW DEPOSlTOR MADE QUICK
WORK WITH HIS CHECK BOOK.
During a financial stringency aSwed-
ish farmer in one. of the middle west
states had sold some hogs on the local
market and upon receiving his check
in payment Immediately went to the
local bank to realize on the sale. UI-
o n preSentment of the check the bank
er saidto him, "Doyou wish the money
on this check?p
"Vell, tank | yust SO veil take
him" was the quick reply.
"You really want the money!"
"Yah; tank l take the none"
". u: do you really need the moneys?
asked the banker.
"Vell, no L don't exactly need him,
but [ tank take the NONE"
"Well," said the banker, ''if you real
ly want the money of course | will give
it to you, but | thought if you did not
need it perhaps you might open an ac-
count and deposit the money and then
check against it as you needed it,"
"Den ven | send my shecks here you
viii refuse to pay dem."
"Oh, no, we won't. If you open the
account, we will pay your cheeks
whenever they come in."
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said. 'Vell, if you pay my
shecks, den 1 open de account" And
the account was opened and passbook
and check book handed to the new Gus
toner.
Half an hour later a close friend of
the new depositor appeared by the
cashiers window and presented check
signed by his friend for the full amount
of the deposit, which was promptly
paid by the banker without comment.
In about an hour the Swede appear
ed and, walking up to the cashier S
window, handed the banker his check
book minus only one check, with the
remarks, "Vell, l don't tank 1 needs
