MosBy,s MEN.
Rcad at Reunion at Manassas, October,


Gordon, of stanton, and read by Rev

followers OF Mogby held In Manassas:
They tell tile tale with magic words.

OF Mm who fought with Sidney's

For honor bourgeons from the mold
And blossoms from the dust,
Though Pcrcys antique spur he cold,
And Sidncys sword be rust

When hearts and hopes were nigh.
A little band ross down this way
whose fame will never die; ,>,aso.
Their cause WAS right. their places
were bright,
And honor shone again,
:. cloud by day, n fire BY night.
To neckon Mosby's men.
The wilderness their secret kept,
They bivouacked meath the blue:
The fonts they spread, tho sleer they
The foreman never knew,
No bugle blast nor tap or drum
proclaimed their headlonE fight;
The startled picket saw them come
And pcrlshed with the sight
They came as iightnines come; they
went
AS swift the west winds blow:
And blood ran red. and life was spent
Whcrocr they met the foe.
They buckled to the deadly fray
Where they were one TO ten,
He spurred and drew TO die or stay.

They carried on their ssbrcs thero

'Tis written that the eternal right
Can never be made wrong.
Down the dim years long gone, once
Appears that phantom band:
hear the changing charge of yorc,
see a war-rent land.
The vision OF the desperate strife
Returns through mists again.
Those were tho bravcst days OF life.
The days of Mosby's men.
The hravest days of all that shine
Through immortal years;
Days OF lifes sacr!ficiai wine,
or loves divinest tears;
When Valor guarded all the land,
When hearts and hopes wore high,
And love and death went hand in hand
With faith that could not die.
And Sidney's sword is rust.
And marH lad who rode OF old
With that gay band Is dust;
While those bereft. who linEer yet,
Are wearcr now than then.
What matter? They cannot forget
That they were Mosby's men
That they were Mosby's men. and rode.
AS soldiers love to ride.
Where the red stream of battle lowed
With its most sweiling tide.
No future stream may run so red,
No higher tide may now.
TIL God afiell awake the heroic dead
From where His four winds blow.
The circling seasons come and 20.

And winter with Its driftcd snow

And song of bird and tint OF bloom

And ghastlier Cor Its snow,
To him who looks with time-worn eyes
On scenes of long ago;
And neither autumn's glow, nor spring.
Nor summers emerald sod

1t is His will for swords to rust
That battle for the right;
For banners TO be trailed in dust

For wrong to wear the victor's name,
Where one may strive with ten;
But fate can never take from fame

HIGH FOOD VALUE OF HONEY
Single Pound Of WsiI-Rlpened Product
Contains More Nutrlment Than
Two Pounds Of Pork.

A single pound Of well-ripened
honey contains more nutriment than
two pounds OF pork. and more medi-
cine than any druggist would put up
for fifty cents. says the Bee Journal.
Honey is also one Of the choicest
foods for man, and not the least valu-
able. as 1t Is the only food that. hav-
ing undergone chemical change In the
body OF the bee. can be taken directly
into the system and used as force
producer without having to pass
through the ordinary digestive nroc-
ess.
The apiary is fast being recognized
as one of the sources OF profit on
the farm. especially with the farmer
who desires to carry on system OF
diversified farming. The farmer. OF
all people. Is perhaps the least de-
pendent upon his fellow men. and on
every fatr-sized farm there annually
goes to waste several hundred pounds
OF nectar. unless he has the means OF
gathering and storing for the use
OF himself and family. It Is not neces-
sary that the farmer beekeeper be-
come competition In the market
with the expert bee keeper. and in
most instances this would not be de-
sirable or. profitable. but the farmer
should produce at least enough to sup
ply his own table. II not more.

all rocks in less than five feet Of

It has been abundantly shown that
pastures may be improved either by
natural or commercial fertilizers.

food, usually the pastures gradually
decline. If. however, the cattle are
fed a little concentrated food. espe-
