Feeding Farm Hands.

Every farmers wife knows what ire
mendous appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat well they
work well, too
Here's good suggestion about feed
ing farm hands. Give them plenty
OF Quaker Oats. A big dish or
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest break
fast in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long days
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive IA
tigue. There is sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list. Besides the regular
size packages Quaker Oats is packed
in large size family packages, with
and without china. 8

HAVING FUN WITH A BANKER
Practical Joke That Doubtless Was
More Appreciated by the Player
Than the Victim.

Councilman F. A. Drew is fond OF
playing practical jokes on William II

clede National bank. Mr.. Drew was
for years director in MIR. Lees bank
While the bankers were waging
their recent war upon prohibition. Mr.
Drew late one night rang up Mr.. Lee
at his home and represented that he
was reporter assigned to get Mr..
Lees views on the situation.
Mr.. Lee complained somewhat bit
terly on being called out of bed at that
hour of night to give an interview, but
finally got warmed up to the subject
and for 30 minutes pictured the desc
lation that would result in st. Louis

cellorsville that Miles received the wound that
the surgeon said would kill him. He fooled
the surgeons got we'll and received medal of
honor from congress for conspicuous gallantry
on the field of battle, and with the medal came
a commission which gave him the right to
wear a star in his shoulder knot.
On that day at Charlottesville, Miles was
holding a line of abattis and rifle pits against
a tremendous force of the enemy. He was in
command of the skirmish line in front of the
first division of the Second Army corps In
order to hearten his men Miles constantly ex-
posed himself to the fire of the enemy. He
stood upright in the open, counting bullets and
possible death. The confederates couldn't hit
him for long time. The inspiration of his
conduct enabled his men to hold their ground
long after II seemed certain that the enemy
would drive them back. Finally a bullet
found its mark and Miles went down with a
wound that ranged downward through his
body into his thigh, producing injury that
made the surgeons say death" but neverthe-
less, death did not come.
At the battle of Fredericksburg, Miles was
shot in the throat. 1t was a Jagged wound
that bled profusely and caused great pain. He
was ordered to go to the rear. The order
came from a superior, and so, soldierlike, Miles
obeyed though he didn't want to go. At the
time OF the Fredericksburg fight Miles already
had won considerable fame as soldier He
was known to all the generals of the service.
While on his way to the hospital he came up
with Gen Hancock.
Miles put his hand to his throat so that Han
cock wouldn't know he was wounded At the
front was stone wall, behind which force
of the enemy was located. This force was do
ing great damage to the unionists. Miles
pointed to the wall and told Hancock that a
well-directed charge would take it, and then
he said: General, want to lead the charge"
Hancock knew courage when he saw IL,
but he also knew a wounded man when he
saw one. He made Miles go to the rear, be-
cause of his condition. but he took good care
that his courage was made matter OF
mention.

BY this time Gen. Young had pulled himsen
together, and he said quickly: Il have visited
Chicago and Cincinnati" The emperor roared
and went over and shared the joke with tho
empress.
When Young came out of the civil war he
dropped his brigadier generalship of volunteers
for a second lieutenancy of regulars. At the
beginning of the Spanish-American war Gen.
Young was sent to Cuba as a brigadier gen
eral
Prior to the outbreak of the war Theodore
Roosevelt had said to Gen. Young that he
would like to go to the front with the cavalry
men--to the real front, where there were bull
lets flying.
After the battle of Las Guasimas, the man
who afterward became president of the United
States, came up to Gen. Young with look of
Joy all over his face, held out his hand, and
said: by George, general, you certainly made
good on those bullets"
Yellow fever laid its hand on Gen. Young
in Cuba. AS soon as he had recovered he
went to the Philippines and was there In ac-
tive service in the field for several years. He
succeeded Gen. Miles as chief of the general
stan and as lieutenant general of the army. He
retired from the service about four years ago,
after having followed the flag for ~ years.

ord Gen Young has served in every rank
known to the military organization, barring only
that of general a rank which stands by itself
and which stands in the American service by
only few men. When he was boy Lieut.. Gen.
Young was a private of volunteers. He was as
proud when he was made a corporal as he was
on that day FIVE years ago, when his commits
sion as lieutenant general of the army of the
United States signed by Theodore Roose-
welt who had fought on the Cuban battlefelds
under the eye of the man he was commission
ing.
1t took Gen Young only six months to reach
the grade of captain. He was given the COM
mand of a troop of the Fourth Pennsylvania
cavalry and his liking for the mounted serv-
ice was such that he stayed in the saddle all
through his career a regular. The general
served four years with the Pennsylvania vol
unteer cavalry, and before he left its ranks
he had led 1t in battle it's commanding Of

Miles career on the plains with more wonde
than they do his career in the of secession
History has shown that some men lacking i
early military training can spring full-hedged int
warriorhood when the time offers This has he'll
to be true, however, only of certain kinds of wal
fare. 1T was always supposed by the old reg
ulars that no soldier could make a successful
Indian fighter until he had been for years on
the plains and had learned the ways of the
savage. Miles went through six great Indian
campaigns and carried every one of them to
success. He was one of the greatest Indian
fighters of American history.
Not many years after the civil war the Chey-
ennes, the Arapahoes the Kiowas and the Co
manches formed league and raided the from
tier. Miles went after them IL his first
great Indian engagement. He completely
smashed the reds in a hard, driving, fighting
campaign. He did that which was prophesied
he could not do, and he did it so effectively
that these warlike plains Indians never again
took the warpath.
Later, Gen. Miles took up the trail of Sitting
Bull and Crazy Horse, with the Fifth infan-
try. and few companies of the Twenty-second
infantry. Crook and Terry had accomplished
comparatively nothing against the bands of
these chiefs but Miles followed them relent-
lessly with his handful of men, fought them
VIGOROUSLY time after time. and finally cap
tured 1000 of them and sent them into the
agencies.
