1863, made their way thru great diff
culties and dangers thru the Union ant
Confederate lines to Winchester in an
effort to find his body and give it de-
cent interment. They finally reached
Winchester then in possession of the

found and disinterred the body of
Lieut.. Bengough and reburied it in the
cemetery. Gen. Lee ordered them to
report to his headquarters when their
mission was accomplished, but being
informed by Union prisoner that they
Were held as prisoners and as spies.

night without reporting as ordered.
They walked in the hot sun, thru by
ways and highways suffering untold
hardships and almost starvation for
days, and had almost reached our lines
when they were captured by q squad Of

| Before attempting piece of sewing
pour gasoline about the working part

When bread is done. remove at once

on wire bread or cake cooler; if a
crisp crust is wanted, allow the bread
| to cool without covering; if soft crust,
cover with a towel. When cool put
into a jar or bread box and cover close

unless the cloth is kept very clean it
will absorb the moisture and give the
bread an unpleasant favor. Keep the
bread box or jar well scalded and sweet
and dry.
Fresh ink stains may be removed by
the application of sweet milk, and this
is good in cases of colored fabrics
which may be affected by chemicals
and acids. Fresh stains should be sat
urated with cold water and then pressed
with clean blotting paper. Repeat un-
til no more stains can be removed, and
then rub it with the cut side of lemon
and sprinkle thickly with table salt.
The ink spots may be removed from
white wash fabrics by soaking a few
minutes and then washing in strong
solution of oXalic acid, taking care to
wash out the acid thoroly afterward.
Melted tailow poured on the spot while
hot and scraped off when cold will also
be found to be safe and often a sure
remedy.
Nothing is more troublesome than
trying to keep a cloth on the broom
while cleaning the dust off the wall.
Use the sleeves and legs of old knit
underwear. Put the broom handle in
the large part of sleeve or leg; pull it
up well over the broom; no pin is need
ed to keep it in place. 1t can't slip off.
The more you pull down on the wall
the tighter the cloth will hold.
Steel carving and bread knives can

the same purpose. The stick should be

JEFF Davis for Andersonville.- Comrade
Tindall was taken July %, 1864, before
Atlanta and sent to Andersonville. There
the first one they met was old Wirz, on

BY SENORA SARA.

A young lady in bright. chatty let
Ter asks me If 1 think that it will be
wise for her to marry a man who was
a coed with her, especially as their
two minds are always striking sparks
on each other. 1t is common saying
that two brilliant minds never assimi-
1ate-it is not wholly true. While it
may be true that some men who use
their brains to excess find rest In the
companionship of shallow women, there
are bound to be times when they long
to escape from them. There is place
for the bright woman in domestic life,
despite the prevailing idea that men
prefer wives who know less rather than
more than their husbands are supposed
to know.
After all, men and women are much
alike in their sentiment A man likes
to be looked up to; oh, yes, indeed. He
wants an adoring crowd about him
we all do, do we not?-and he usually
finds his chorus or echo in the women
who pat his pride into puffballs and
who have the art of making him think
he is a much injured male if his ego
has been Jared by the uncareful multi
tude. They know how TO coax smiles
to his lips and favors from his pockets,
and they never by any means express
an opinion on any subject until they
have trimmed their sails against all
danger signals. But the end comes TO
that after a few years, and after the
man has found that Syllabus and angel
food pail on the appetite as steady
diet. In time he finds that chorus and
the public differ in opinion as to his
ability, and learns 10 his sorrow that
chorus has fed him praise and compli-
ments when what he ought to have had
VI, Il,
they escape from the shallow women
and get back on the pedestal by the
brilliant wife. Most men and not
few women remember in life's soberer
afternoon periods when chorus COM
prised their little world, and grim
smiles come when they contemplate the
possible conditions had chorus not been
quietly shelved or showed behind the
curtain. Unite your two bright minds
and lives, young lady. You will prob
ably strike the sparks quite often, but
at least there will be no monotony, and
a man loathes monotony, whining and
weeping down the back of his neck.
He much prefers the woman whose
wits match his own, and who stings
him with the truth, because afterwards
she tells him nice things to soothe his
wounded feelings, and because she does
tell him the truth on occasion he be-
lieves In her compliments. With Chorus
he feels unsafe.
Save all the paper bags, and II you
90 not have enough use the loose news
papers. Fill these with the fine coal
or chips. When fuel is TO be added to
the fire, drop the bag or parcel on the
burning Goals and none will be scat
tered, no noise will be made, and the
stove door can be kept open less time.

For Those Past so.

f. F. Guild. Detroit, Mich. fears that
he will be called crank, but he thinks
that there should be a special provi-
sion of $50 month for those comrades
who pass four score, and that this
clause should be added TO The National

very little to the cost of the bill, and
The Government can well afford to

Minnesota played all around their lighter
opponents in the first, the back field men
going through the line and around the ends

upon straight foot ball. Lawrence never
looked dangerous. The work OF McGovern
and Rosenwald was conspicuous Rosen-
wald's nose was broken in the second half.
Lawrence received the kickoff, but was
forced to punt. Receiving the ball on their
own 35-yard lire, Minnesota easily carried
the ball down the field for a touchdown,
Johnston, Stevens, McGovern and Rosen-
valid carrying the ball off the tackles and
around the ends for gains Of five TO twenty
yards. Rosenwald went over for the touch
down, Morrill, failed to kick goal. Schneider
Of Lawrence, injured his knee and was re-
placed by Smith. After the first three min
utes Of rest McGovern carried the ball
from the fifteen to the eight-yard line. and
two more rushes carried Johnston over the
line. Morrill, kicked goal.
On the next kickoff McGovern made a
run OF fifteen yards and Rosenwald tore
down the field for twenty and thirty yards
respectively, the latter running for a touch
down. Morrill, kicked goal.
The next goal was another procession.
ErdshI. who replaced Johnston, helping Nc
Govern and Rosenwald to carry the ball to
the five-yard line. Stevens went over.
Brookley intercepted forward pass on the
thirty-three yard line and ran for touch
down. Morrill, kicked goal
Minnesota used several substitutes in the
last half and Lawrence took a big brace,
