One Of the recent tributes laid upon
Admiral Coghlan, is in the form Of
a thrilling story Of the late admiraPs
early days. A bluff old sea captain,
Commander Plat, of Washington, re-
Gently told of the experience and in
It's telling there was nothing of sensa
tion--it was just an affectionate tes-
timony to a brave man by one who
knew him in his youth and shared
with him some of the dangers of civil
war.
The incident occurred during Dahl
green's time, when Sherman was on his
famous march to the sea. Every effort
was made by the Federal forces to
effect junction with Gherman's army.
The ocean and it's estuaries had been
carefully sounded and explored to
guard against Instructions to the ships
and avoid their determination by hid
den mines.
Capt Balch, afterward a rear ad-
miral, with his flagship, the Pawnee,
was with the mosquito feet off the
coast of Charleston. He had carefully
explored the depths of Port Royal
sound, and wishing to probe still
farther, sent for Robert Platt, then
attached to the United States coast
and geodetic survey and now a retired
commander Of the United States Navy,
who had sounded and chartered the
Atlantic coast from Maine to the Gulf
of Mexico and knew more perhaps of
its treacherous depths than any other
man living.
'Platt." said the captain, Il have
sent for you because / want to find
out more about what the Johnnies arc
doing and have done up on Tullifinney
river. l am inclined to to believe they
have been busy up there lately, and
unless we discover how there may be
a reckoning later on"
"Well, captain, said Platt, I'll take
a boat and some boys and explore"
He did, and later, after two days
and a night Of creeping in and out
here and there along the line Of the
river he discovered mud fort well
manned, with guns enough to make
trouble for any Of the little feet of
Federal gunboats that dared up that
way.
He found more To obstruct the
passage of the river and practically
ground the little boats until they could
be shot to smithereens the Confeder
ates had sunk piles on either side Of
the river right under the very nose of
their guns. AS the means of detecting

- what kind of a shell are your
.,,n machinery and tools? asks the
rbfcaco Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
,,.,ors have a big machine shed with
H., skv for a roof This is a roomy
',n,o Int it has the disadvantage of
Is;no Ieaky when it rains, and water
:. NOT the best thing for wood and
iron.
ca many complain that net profits
, farming are small. No wonder,
rson they are compelled to purchase a
,,n hinder or cultivator nearly every
MINER. These machines ought to and
rf7 last for many ears if properly
cared for.
yov is the time, if it has not al
raojr been done, to get all tools and
rnpmpnts carefully stored away in
drr bindings. On rainy days or at
ID fines all the wood and iron work
,bon7d be coated with oil or axle

rim smooth. and the rusty pillow is a
ovation when the new season opens
FIR rush work. A cents worth of oil
and 4 minutes work now will save an
bm,r's work of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money

life of their farm implements by shell
nrtng them and keeping them well
oiled and painted. Why not you?

VVN III HoRSES. and often vain EFFORTS
to keep their feet will hope that the
invention is a financial success. The
loSeshoe has a series of parallel ridges
On its heel and toe portions. The ridges
Oh the toe portion run parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the shoe and those
the heel portion run transversely.
These ridges form a series of recesses
adapted to receive and retain snow or
dirt thus forming a bearing surface
for the shoe and making the horse
Irer Of his footing. Running in oppo-
Ste directions, as they do, the corruga-
lions act as sort of brake in which
ever way the animals feet may happen

vent snow or dirt "caking" ON the fat
Of the shoe.

Tbe Pride of battery b.

The Pride of Battery B.
South Mountain lowered upon our right,
far off the river lay;
And over on the wooded height we held
their lines at bay.
At last the muttering guns were still; the
day died slow and wan;
At last the gunners' pipes did fill, the ser
geant's yarns began.
When, as the wind a moment blew aside
the fragrant flood,
Our briarwoods raised, within our view
little maiden stood
A tiny tot of 6 or I, from freside fresh
she seemed.
(Of such a little one in heaven, one sol
der often dreamed.)
And as we stared one little hand went to
her curly head
In grave salute And who are you!' at
length the sergeant said,
"And where's your homer" he growled
again.
She lisped out, "Who is me?
Why, don't you know? I'm little Jane,
the pride of Battery B.
NY home? Why that was burned away
and pa and ma are dead;
And so l ride the guns all day along with
Sergeant Ned.
And I've a drum that's not a toy, cap
with feathers, too;
And | march beside the drummer boy on
Sundays at review,
But now our 'bacca's all give out, the
men can't have their smoke,
And so they're cross-why even Ned
won't play with me or joke,
And the big colonel said to me to-day Il
hate to hear him swear)
He'd give leg for a good pipe like the
Yanks had, over there,
And so 1 thought when beat the drum,
and the big guns were still,
I'd creep beneath the tent and come out
here across the hill,
And beg, good Mister Yankee man, you q
give me some Lone Jack.
Please do! When we get some again III
surely bring it back
Indeed | will, for Ned says he, if l do
what l say
I'll be a general yet, maybe, and ride a
prancing bay
We brimmed her tiny apron Ger. You
should have heard her laugh
As each man from his scanty store shook
out a generous half
To kiss the little mouth stopped down a
score of grimy men,
Until the sergeant's husky voice SAID,
"'Tention, squad" and then
We gave her escort till goodnight the
pretty waif we bid,
And watched her toddle out of sight-or
else twas tears that hid .
Her tiny forna-nor turned about a man,
nor spoke a word,
Till after awhile a far, hoarse shout upon
the wind we heard.
We sent it back, and cast sad eyes upon
the scene around,
A baby's hand had touched the tie that
brothers once had bound.
That's all-save when the dawn awoke
again the work of hell,
And through the sullen clouds Of smoke
the screaming missiles fell,
Our general often rubbed his glass and
marveled much to see
Not a single shell that whole day fell on
the camp of Battery B.

ing Private Show House
for His Plays

BERKELEY. Sept. 22.-An open air
theater in natural hollow amid the
trees adjoining his home in the Clare
mont section of this city is being
built by Charles Keller. the poet. The
new theater will have fat piece of

playwrights. The auditorium of the
theater. which is surrounded by trees
around the natural hollow, is cut out
of the solid ground, the seats being
in tiers like the Greek theater on the
campus. The approach to the theater
is over a rustic bridge.
Keeler expects to have the theater

Sacred Heart College Lads
To Plan Seasons Athletics

The members of the athletic asso-
citation of Sacred Heart college will
hold their first regular meeting OF the
term this afternoon. An election of
officers will take place and a schedule
of athletic events will be drafted. The
collegians have already made known
their determination to take part in the
games which will form part of the
Portola celebration.
Owing to the lateness of the opening
of the college year. the Sacred Heart
college boys will not enter a Rugby
team this season.
This year the collegians intend to
concentrate on basket ball and track
events. The former game has taken a
strong hold at the Fell street institu-
ton. For the coming season Sacred
Heart will put at least three strong
fives in the field. Several of the bas-
ket ball contests will be played under
the auspices of the Catholic Schools
athletic league.
Though Latulipe, Callahan and sew
eral others of last years star track
team graduated from Sacred Heart col
lege last June, the ranks of the sprint
ers and distance men are by no means
exhausted. and 1t is likely that the
college will make a good showing in
the indoor meets to be held in the late
autumn.
The Sacred Heart boys are looking
forward with eagerness to the track
meet for Catholic colleges to be held
under the auspices of the Catholic
Schools athletic league some time in
lege, the academic department of st.
Mary's college will take part in the
meet. as well as the crack squad of
sprinters hailing from st. Joseph S
academy, Berkeley There is also like
lihood that the high school classes of
Santa Clara college will be represented.
The details of this meet are to be ar
ranged at an early meeting of the
board of directors of the league.

ceived today at the information bu-
reau of the auxiliary state fair at
Idora park that 500 residents of Sac
ramento will leave that city tomorrow
morningiat o'clock to attend the fair

vitations have been sent to all the
counties of California and to the most
important cities. asking them to choose
a special day for representation at the
exposition.

ciaf efforts to provide amusement and
entertainment at the exposition, as

with especial favor is the music.
A booth at the fair that is drawing
much interest is that of the Alameda
county anti tuberculosis league. which

society. A startling exhibit is skel-
eton with a red ineandescent light
where the heart should be. The light
goes out every two minutes and 36 sec

United States a life has been sacri-
feed to tuberculosis. Literature is also
being distributed at the booth
