yer this Monday morning about 1000
O'Clock, the revolver was discharged
and the ball passed through his right
hand in the fleshy part, near the
thumb. He will probably lose no
part of the hand unless blood poison

expected. It was fortunate that the
revolver was held in such manner
that the ball did not enter the body,
as it might have done, the way he
was handling the revolver. The

BE GOOD TO YOUR HORSE

Supt. Clayton of the Wisconsin
Humane society has issued instruc-
tions for drivers of horses during
the hot weather. He advocates
using a moist sponge held in place
above the horses head on very hot
days, and frequent washing of the
breast and neck. He warns drivers
particularly to keep the sweat pads
clean, and advises that care should
be used in keeping the name from

SONNET

Fairest of visions to our longing eyes,
Eden, thine exiled children sigh for
thee.
Dear long lost home of bliss and purity,
Beauteous dost thou before the mind
arise.
Like some sweet memory of a vanished
past.
Each human spirit doth thine impress
bear.
Through life all seek, nor find thee any
where
Yet do we seek and hope until the last.
Vain is the search of youth and hoary age
Nor will we learn till life is almost done.
Earth does not hold our vanished heritage
Still Heaven born Hope lifts her bright
torch on high
And calls Behold above, oh weary one.
Thine long sought Eden sparkling in the
sky.

THE WOMAN'S
RELIEF CORPS
Auxiliary to the Grand Army
of the Republic.

AS soon as war was declared in
1861, there was need for the min
istrations of women, and relief So
cieties sprang up, first in the North,
then in the West, and soon they
We're found everywhere there was
need for them.
All through the war they worked,
and after the close of hostilities it
was found that their work was not
done, so many of them continued to
care for the MANNED and sick sol
phans of those who slept in ''low
green tents" all over our land.
There were men who were unable
to care for their loved ones and those
dependent ones too were looked after
by the loyal women.
When Paul Van Der WORT was
Commander-in-Ch of the Grand
Army of the Republic he called for
the societies then in existence to
come together, and in 1883 their rep
resentatives assembled in Denver,
and were organized into the WOman's
Relief Corps, and accepted as the
auxiliary of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and left free to work as
suited them
The Order has grown to magnifi-
cent proportions, and today there are
upon the rolls more than 100000 pa
triotic women.
The members come from every
walk in life, and the best women Of
the country are proud to wear the
little bronze badge, which represents
Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.
The bounty of the Order flows
through mnay channels, but the
end is the same, and there has been
expended in relief since 1883 more
than three millions of dollars.
Aims and Objects.
The aims and objects if the Wo-
mans Relief Corps are:
