and there, carrying orders, or were
sent out on reconnoitering dashes to
keep the commanding general posted as
to how our long line of battle was far

late in the morning, when Longstreets s
famous assault had been begun with
such far-reaching disaster, later, but
just before the actual big break in our
battle line had taken place, Gen. Rose.
Grams sent me with a hurried oral
dispatch to Gen. Thomas, and l re-
member the words of that unwritten
message as if it stood out in letters
of fire. He said: Orderly, ride to
Gen. Thomas and tell him, with my
compliments, that there are a number
of pieces of artillery in front, or left,
of Glenn's house that seem to have no
owner Ask him if he will take care
of this artillery and tell him TO hold
the Chattanooga road at all hazards" "
After saluting l dashed off, and as
made my way, events happened, as
the reverberations of the heavy firing
all too plainly told.
After q hard ride | was able to de,
liver my message, and found Gen.
Thomas sitting on his horse, and al
though he realized he was soon to face
a great crisis, he seemed as calm and
self-poised as If those southern hordes
were being driven back, inst cad OF
toward the heart Of the union army
On all sides our men were to be
seen taking the cartridges from the
boxes of dead comrades to fill theiI
own. No man could have fathomed
the thoughts of Gen. Thomas at this
moment, but there was a grim look
on his face that bespoke al unfiinch
ing determination to hold his position
and that road, until he and every mar
in his command were swept from the
face Of the earth. And how we'll he
did it history has told.

Oriqin of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention of the
elevator is made in letter of Ma
poleon |. addressed to his wife, Arch
duchess Maria Louise. He writes to
her that when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" flying chair) in that
castle which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa. 1t consisted
of small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings of red silk
and suspended by strong ropes with
counter weights, so that it could be

This is not the only age in which
motor cars have created excitement
and disturbance. In 1902 such appari-
tions were few and far between; at
present they are too frequent to at
tract attention. Mr.. Joseph Hatton, in
"Old Lamps and New" tells of the
fright caused by one Of Trevithick's
steam locomotives, made to run on
unrailed roads in the early part of the
last century.
Now and then one of these extraor
dinary vehicles would be encountered,
snorting and putting on the highway.
The countrymen regarded them as the
evil one in disguise.
One of the cars, coming to a toll
gate, stopped for the gate to be
opened The toll-man came hurrying
out. He flung the gate open with
trembling hands, and teeth which

in regard to lack of valor on the

Why" said the one, "at the very
first engagement, when the order was
given to retreat, you were so scared
that you threw down your arms and
ran for dear life"
Nonsense" replied the other.
THAT was the time l got the three
flesh wounds in the chest If I'd been
running away, as you claim, l would
have been shot in the back"
"Oh, no. you wouldn't" returned his
friend. "The reason you got shot in
the chest was because you took to
the river and were trying to get away
in a roWboat."

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

Az OlA age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not oveCsax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food IS found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and harley

in the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.

WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED 90 BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do
minion Government Commissioner Of
Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the Agents of the Gov
ernment that ON the free homesteads
offered by the Government it is pos
Eible to become comfortably well of
in few years:
Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that reply to
your request. Some years ago I took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level
and heavy land. We put in 70 acres Of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and so acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. 1 hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. Wedidnot sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed,
for there is no doubt if you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of
first-class oats out of 100 acres. so
acres has been fall plowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch
| it.
notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
l am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner

egist, his bulldog tenacity as a fight
er, and all the qualities that go to
make a great and successful general
All night my rest was disturbed by
the tramp of the horses of officers of
brigade or division, arriving and de-
parting, after consulting with "Old
Rosy" as the general was affection
ately called throughout the army.
Our commander knew the urgent need
OF every precaution, and was busy
till long after midnight giving his
chiefs orders, and studying every
measure to strengthen his position
against the determined assaults of
the combined hosts of Bragg and Long

Before proceeding with my personal
experiences during this second days
battle, and without giving any account
of the sharp encounter between the
armies on the previous day, it will per-
haps be best to give brief summary
OF the events leading up to the gigan-
tic effort of the southern army to
crush Gen. Rosecrans and recapture
Chattanooga.
Gen. Rosecrans had, before this,
completed his celebrated Tullahoma
campaign and captured Chattanooga; ;
and although for weeks he realized
that Longstreet's strong corps of
tried southern veterans was march
ing to join Bragg's army, and had
begged the war office that a feint or
demonstration be made by the armies
OF Grant or Sherman, both then unoc-
Cupied, to prevent this union of con-
federates. and begged even that Burn
sides army Of $4,000 men be sent him
as reenforcements against this for.
midable combination of confederates; );
still our commanding general had been
left inexplicably unsupported by the
administration. Thus, when Long
streets heavy battalions furiously at
tackled our army and forced their way
through gap in the line, this gap
being made through a misconstruction
of orders by Gen. Woods division, 1t
was almost an impending defeat and
the loss of Chattanooga as we'll How
we'll Gen. Rosecrans took instant
measures to avert this calamity by
gathering his shattered cohorts togeth.
sr and fortifying Chattanooga, how
nobly our great Gen. Thomas bore the
brunt of repeated onslaughts in the
field, are facts now well known to the
impartial student of history; so l will
with this passing depression, resume
my account of personal happenings.

gloomy thoughts floated through my
sensations that often come to
the soldier just before the conflict;
and although l did my best to shake
off these forebodings, it was a diff.
cult task, until we mounted and re.
ceived our various orders. The bat

"reminiscences of the Second Days
Battle from "TaIes of a Trooper"

The historian and the memoirs Of
the commanding general may record
the planning and winning of military
campaigns, but the private soldier
prefers to recount his own impressions
and individual experiences. 1t was
my privilege to be a trooper of the
Fifteenth Pennsylvania cavalry dur
ing the civil war, with the plain title
of Mr." or Jack" so | can only tell
of such incidents as came within my
own vision, relating them from the
standpoint of the private soldier. AL
that over four decades have passed
since then, it seems only yesterday, so
clearly do the acts and scenes of those
days stand out in my memory
1t was at headquarters at early
dawn on the goth of September, 1868
the second days battle of Chicka-
mauga The previous days fight was
but prelude to the titanic conflict of
this day. On the silence of dawn
broke the clear notes of the reveille,
rousing from slumber many a soldier
on whose ear that sound would never
fall again.
The escort was encamped at the
headquarters of Gen. Rosecrans at
Glenn's house, and l will here explain
that the Fifteenth Pennsylvania was

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD Isi
Its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course. to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
The National Lead Company guar
antee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing it's Dutch Boy Painter" trade
mark to prove absolutely pure under
this blow-pipe test, and that you may
make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with a valuable booklet or paint. Ad
