remedy was employed in Scotland. Here
is another medicament for the same COM

some honey mixed with it. And I'll tell
YOU what's a good thing for Group but a

this added to Mr.. T. ". Thompson, who
sets down these stories: ITS the dear

the phIegm out Of his throat bootiful,
but wa wouldn't do such a thing as that.

but he withdrew and retreated to the ship
ping, embarking Wednesday night, 18th.
Opens at Sunrise.
The attack by water was commenced at
sunrise Tuesday, 18th, and continued until
the following morning. The chief defense
was at Fort McHenry. on Milestone point,
under command Of Lieut.. Col. George
Armstead, and during the day and night.
when it was under an incessant bonn
bardment, there were nearly thousand
troops there.
Fort Covington. half mile west, was
manned by sailors under Lieut. Newcomb,
and nearby was a six-gun battery under
Lieut.. Webster. with hotilla men In
charge, and at the Lazaretto. east of the
fort. Lieut. Nutter had battery and the
barges of the f1otilla. All were brought
into action, the fire from both sides being
incessant. The enemy's boats in the dark
ness of the night had got near Fort
Covington. but were discovered and beat
en- off. Col Armstead estimated that the
enemy threw nearly l,SUO SnellS, 4OO 1all-
ing In the fort. He gave his loss as four
killed and twenty-four wounded. and said
where every officer and man did his duty
it would be injustice to others were any
named.
The enemy's vessels sailed down the
river Wednesday morning, but with what
loss Is not disclosed. It is known that ne
lost some boats and had a small number
of men killed and wounded. Gen. Smith
estimated the loss OF the enemy ashore
and af1oat at over 600 and the American
loss at 80 killed and wounded.
Key Wrote Famous Hymn.
1t was during the bombardnent that
Francis Scott Key, who had gone to the
fleet under q flag Of truce to secure the
release Of prisoner and was detained on
shipboard. wrote the words which have
become our national song. THE Star
Spangled Banner" Soon afterward the
story of the attack on Baltimore was
the subject of a song called THE Battle
of North Point" which for forty years
or more was exceedingly popular.
The failure Of the enemy at Baltimore
did much to strengthen the confidence OF
the masses In the government and was
due to the success there OF an inferior
force, three-fourths militia and volun-
teers, over the veterans Of Wellingtons
peninsula campaign. The battle occurred
soon after their vandalism here and
elated the home community. ard Septem-
Der 12 became a day for patriotic cele-
bration. In the middle states especially.
In Baltimore the "Old Defenders" were
honored by the escort of the military as
long as a corporal's guard OF the heroes
survived JAMES CROGGON.

LUMBERJACKS OF NORTHWEST
MONTHS OF HARD LABOR FOL-
LOWED By GRAND DRUNK.
Strict Discipline In the Camps-No
Liquor-Lights Out at 8
O'Clock-Reveille at 4.
From Pearson's Magazine.

From PearsonS Magazine.
In the great northwest history has been
largely made by man almost unknown
as yet to song and story, the IMAM with
the AK known in everyday parlance
as the lumberjack.
In the fall just before winter sets in the
lumbermen in tine business cen.ers send
out their tote teams, so called because
they are used to transfer the necessaries
of life to the scene of the winters work
Thousands Of men from the docks, the
harvest' f1elds-from everywhere-follovv
these teams to the woods for the season.
From the moment they join until camp
breaks up in the spring there is hard. un-
relenting work.
The strictest discipline is maintained:
the men are UP at o'clock in the morn
ing and work until dark with the excep-
ton OF the noon-time stop for dinner.
Lights are out every night at o'clock.
Dinner and Supper.
The cook. a very important person in
the camp. with his assistants, is first UP
in the morning, and one of the most no.
ticeable things about modern logging
camps is the great change in the bill OF
fare The MONDAY meal is usually pre-
pared and carried out to where the men
are working to save time. The cook brings
the dinner piping hot and the men eat il,
sitting on freshly felled logs. often with
the thermometer registering 30 below zero.
But it is at the evening meal, when the
days work is finished. that the men are
at their best; there they talk and laugh
and enjoy themselves. After the meal is
over they go to the clubhouse and light
their pipes, sing songs and tell stories
In every camp is general supply store,
where the men may procure the neces-
saries of life. No liquor is sold, as the
rule against drinking is rigidly enforced
Often men, craving the stimulant to
which they are accustomed, drink patent
medicines In place of the forbidden
whisky.
Value Of the Races.
In the average camp nearly every ma
tionality is represented. The foreman will
tell you that he likes the Irish for bosses,
the Germans. Swedes and Firms for hard
work. while he finds the men of the
southern nations. the French and Italians,
too light and erratic for the heavy work.
besides being too quarrelsome, interfering
with the discipline of camp life.
Four-hfthS OF the men employed in lum-
Der camps are Incorporate, 1t is said The
long enforced abstinence in the winter
but aggravateS their craving for liquor
and in the spring when they are released
from the discipline of camp life they
hurry to the nearest town with their
earnings. What happens then is often a
very short story, sometimes a bitterly
tragic one.

A Cure for Hog Cholera.


Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as 1t
is sometimes called is highly conta-
gious disorder.
When hog shows any symptoms OF
this disease, he should be isolated at
once and the pen fumigated in order
to save the other hogs if possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with
two parts milk in bottle and give
every sick hog tablespoonful Of this
mixture night and morning for three
days. Sloan's Liniment is powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs,
soothes all Inflammation and acts as a
tonic to the animal.
A. J. Mccarthy, of 1daville, Ind,
says: my hogs had hog cholera three
days before we got Sloan's Liniment,
which was recommended to me by a
neighbor who was using it with sue
cess. l have used it now for three
days and my hogs are almost well. One
hog died before 1 got the Liniment,
but l have not lost any since"
Mr.. G. w. Balsbaugh, of Peru, Ind,
writes: II had four pigs that were
coughing and were not doing well. !
gave them some of Sloan's Liniment
and they got better at once"

and Poultry sent free. Address DR..
