Armed with a saber Hit.

When William L. Royal of Eau
quier County, Virginia, was II years
old, he became a Confederate soldier.
In his "Reminiscences" he says that
the feats performed by the Confeder-
ate cavalry in the early part of the
war were remarkable, because not one
company in ten had any arms that
were fit to fight with.
When | joined my company, he
writes, they gave me saber which L
think was used in the Revolution, and
this was the only weapon | had. One
day, while my regiment was standing
in a road, / bantered a comrade to see
which of us could cut the largest twig
from a tree I made a powerful cut,
and the blade of my saber broke of
at the hilt.
In a short time we were dismount-
ed and ordered to clear the Yankees
out of piece of woods in skirmish
formation We marched through the
woods. but fortunately no Yankees
were there. l have often wondered
what / should have done, armed with
that saber hflt, If I had met Yam

man in particular having a large stock
Iarm IN Ohio puts up annually be-
tween $500 and 5000 tons of corn and
cowpea silage, which he feeds to his
peer cattle. A 1,000-pound steer will
usually consume about 80 pounds of
slIage per day. When fed a ration of
this kind, some nitrogenous food
should be added, such as oil meal. cot.

products found on the market. The
FEEDER from Ohio referred to feeds on

ABOUT pounds Of clover hay, in addi-
tion to the so pounds of silage. For
beef cattle it Is usually considered ad,
Vlsable to allow the crop to mature
before cutting, and also to plant it the
same as one plants for grain produc-
ton. The cattle feeder is not partic.
uIarly anxious to obtain. a large
amount Of forage, but he is more anx.

A crop OF corn that will produce about
oo bushels per acre will make from
eight to nine tons of silage planted in
the usual way and harvested when

are using silage, and similar reports
nave come from stations, that cattle
fed on this produce scour less than
when fed on corn and dry roughage.

GOD IS OUR FATHER.


Prayer is both our duty and our
privilege. To be in conscious contact
with God our Father is our highest
blessedness None of US can do with
out Him. Our weakness needs His
strength, our evil His forgiveness, our
fears His assurance, our hopes His full
ailments He seeks to draw us nearer
to Himself, and the forces of the soul,
love and hope and faith, work their
strongest when we pray.

Here Is true story of love. 1t has
none of the vapid romance of the sea-
side, nor the sprightliness of the ball
room, but it shows and evidences that
the human heart is susceptible to love
under the most adverse conditions. In
deed, we are not sure but love-true
love-ts plant of more tender and
healthful growth when removed from
all selfish and narrowing surroundings.
At the beginning of the war most of
the Southern troops were sent to Vir-
g1nia Among other regiments the
Fifth Alabama, under Colonel R. e.
Rodes, who was afterward promoted
to major general, moved from Mont
gomery to Richmond, and afterward
to Manassas Junction, near Bull Run.
After remaining there a short time a
member Of Company D. Fifth Ala
bama, was taken sick with camp fever
and sent to the hospital at Culpeper
Court House. The hospital was in
charge of a lady from Hale County,
Alabama, by the name of Miss Sally
Anne Swope, a noble-hearted woman,
but a perfect f1re-eater toward the Yam
kee soldiers. She would nurse sick
or wounded soldier either Yankee or
rebel, as wei as If he was one of her
own family, and at the same time if
he were a Yankee she would tell him
that she could cut off his head when
he was WELL After the young man
came to the hospital, he continued to
grow worse, and at times would be en-
tirely de1irious. I was sick at the
same time, and noticed bright, pretty
young woman, whose name I will not
mention for fear it will recall sad
memories to her dear friends and rel
atives, and whom they will remember
with pride for the many noble traits
of character she possessed. She would
sit by the gallant soldier, during his
moments of delirium, for hours, and
battle his brow with her soft, pretty
hands and soothe his restless spirit
with cheering words. At times the sol
der would catch her hand and tilk
Of the dear ones at home, thinking it
was his loved sister. Again he would
tell her how he loved her-whispering
words of love. It became we'll known
by all the friends at the hospital that
it was a case of true love- Although
it was labor of love and mercy that
made the lady a nurse, yet she never
neglected her many patients At the
same time her lover, who was much
sicker than any other, received all of
her spare time But the poor fellow
continued to grow worse from day to
day. The poor girl watched with in
tense sorrow and affection his sunken
features, sweetening the long hours of
watching with such loving looks and
expressions as could not be mistaken
At last the end came. The dear crea-
ture who had watched his bed seemed
to have wasted to mere shadow The
doctors advised rest; but no, she con-
tinued to hover around the other pa
tients like one In a dream, providing
for their every want. Alas! her heart
was broken, and in a short time she
too was laid in the grace, having con-
tracted the fever from her lover.

When Does Railroad Journey
Really Begin?

Washington. Aug 7.-"When does a
railroad journey begin:" This is the
curious question which has been pre-
sented to the interstate commerce COM
mission. 1t involves some intricate le-
pal points and therefore is problem
about which already there is serious
contention.
Several railroad lines hold that a
passengers journey begins when he
passes through the gate from the sta
ton to the train and his ticket is
punched by the gatenan. Although
for any one of many reasons the pas
senger may not take the train, the
companies refuse to refund~to him the
amount he paid for the ticket. main
tanning that the passenger began his
journey when he passes the gateman.
The question will be fought before

hearing unless the railroads should ac-

More Than Mile of Street Car
Tickets and Transfers Needed
Time has brought change in way Street Cars Conduc

stituted, to extend down to the present
day.
Some cynics have declared that
there is a disposition upon the part of
the employees of the street car COM
panies, in many instances, at least, to
regard the public as their natural en-
emies. This impression, it is stated
by sociological students who have de-
voted their attention to the subject
has been brought about by divers
causes. Among the latter, the trans
fer slip, inoffensive and harmless as
it appears to the eye of the casual OBJ
server has figured to no slight de-
gree. The sting of the transfer slip
is in the little hole punched by the
conductor, which indicates to the
learned the time limit set upon the
document. Between many passengers
and conductors there exists contin-
ual difficulty in regard to this time
limit, and to the Specification of the
punch denoting the same. AS argl-
ments accruing from this condition of
affairs usually result in the triumph
of the conductor and the company,
there is about them a sort of monot-
ony, but the baffled passenger, of
course, is at liberty to retain his op.
inions.
Improvement is Shown.
At the present time there is to be
noted a late improvement in this re-
gard. however. The passenger is ex-
pected to ask for his transfer when
he pays his fare, thus enabling the
conductor to exercise GOODNESS and
discretion in the operation of punch.
ing the time on the former. Before
this salutary innovation, the request
for a transfer went UNDECIDED by the
man in charge of affairs until the
point of transfer was approached
when the operation was often con.
Quoted in a hurry. The result was
found to be, in some instances. that
transfers were punched for several
hours previously, while, again, they
were made good for the remainder OF
the day.

New York deSpatch.25th.
Gripped by the mys elious 'au-
rora" telegraph wires practical
ly all over the world were parlyZ-
ed today. From early morning
until night, Communications was
erratic and at times cut OF en-
tirely between certain points.
Old telegraph operators called
it the 'anrora," for brilliant
northern lights usually follow
such an electrical phenomenon,
but instead of watching for the
display, they bent their mind and
energies to untangling the snarl
and adjusting their instrument .
The first break. came shortly
before 7 a. m. eastern standard
time, or noon at Greenwich, and
for the next five hours telegraph
wire chiefs fromBoston to Chica
go wrestled with the strange
force.
That the disturbance wa
worldwide was shown by Euro
pean dispatches, which told O.
similar trouble on lines on tn
continent as we'll as on the sub
