Chapter In Warriors Career

THAT young lieutenant was off on
an hours notice, He made a forced
march to Coloma and back, within a
few days reporting to Colonel Mason
that gold had certainly been found at
Coloma, and in abundance Colonel
Mason thereupon summoned a courier
In whom he had every confidence, and
handing him certain dispatches for the
government at Washington, command
ed him TO make every effort to reach
Fort Brown (now Brownsville) at the
mouth of the Rio Grande river. as
soon as possible. There the nearest
mail communications with Washing
ton could be reached. These dispatch
es reported to the government authori-
ties at Washington that a lieutenant
in whom Colonel Mason had every con-
fidence had investigated the reports of
the finding Of gold at Coloma and that
what the lieutenant said about this
discovery could be relied upon.
In due time the report reached
Washington and was published. It set
the whole country in fever, but the
name of the young lieutenant who had
vouched for the discovery of very
great gold field was speedily forgotten
You would like to know his name. It
was William T. Sherman. And. rela-
lively speaking, l think that his quick
journey from Monterey to Coloma was
beset by almost as many difficulties as
was his march from Atlanta to the sea
which made him world famous IS
years later"

How William r. Sherman, When :
Young Lieutenant, Confirmed tho
News of the Discovery of
Gold in California.

i was one of those who sailed from
New York as soon as the news came
of the discovery of gold in California
and I spent several years in Cali
fornia,' said Mr. Dudley E. Jones,
president of one of the largest of the
industrial companies of Arkansas, tc
me recently. Mr.. Jones was a native
of New York state, and while still
hardly past his majority he was tempt
ed to California and lived in the very
heart of the gold mining excitement.
Much has been said and written
about the discovery of gold at SUIT
ter's MILL, continued Mr.. Jones' Il
was there in October, 1849, and I was
there again in 1908, and Suffers
ranch and mill near the Sacramento
river looked in 1903 to me exactly as
they looked in 1S49. The only change
that / noticed was that indicating the
approach of the suburbs of Sacramen-
to City to that historic spot. It has al
ways seemed to me that one of the
real heroes associated with the dis
covery of gold in California and the
making of that discovery known to
the world has not been recognized by
the people of this generation as he
should be. Perhaps this is because he
gained other fame Is years later. How
ever, viii tell you the story exact
~ as l had it, authoritatiyely, not
only from one, but from many persons
back in the old gold days.
At the time OF the outbreak of our
war with Mexico a portion of the Amer
lean army was sent to California. A
little garrison was stationed at Monte
rey, and it was under the command Of
Colonel Mason
One day there foated into the lit
tie garrison rumors that gold had
been discovered near the Sacramento
river, and that IT promised to be a
rich find. Coloney Mason regarded
this as very important news. and felt
that the government at Washington
should receive this news at the earH-
est possible moment He therefore got
together a few pack mules. He pro-
cured them with some difficulty, be-
cause pack mules at that time were a
very valuable asset for the miners.
Tim he called one of his young lieu
tenants to him and said:
Il want you to go as speedily as
possible up the Sacramento valley to a
place called Coloma and learn whether
thee stories about the discovery of
gold up there are correct. II you find
them true. return TO Monterey as soon
as possible

Famous Statesman Broke Down and
sobbed While Delivering the Eu-
logy on His Friend, Thomas
Rusk of Texas.

General Thomas L. Clingman, who
from 1843 to 1858, with the exception
of one term, represented North Caro-
lima in the lower house of congress
and was a member of the senate when
the Civil war began, resigning that
office to return to North Carolina and
become a Confederate brigadier-gen-
eral, used frequently to revisit Wash
iDgton in the late seventies and early
eighties. He did not come upon any
political errand, for he eschewed poi
itics at the close of the Civil war. He
was an enthusiastic prophet with re-
spect to the mineral wealth of his
state; the first man, 4 fact, to make
this wealth known. any one were
willing to chat with him he would sit
b. the hour describing the treasures
Of platinum and of precious stones,
even diamonds, which he was sure
We're within the bowels of the North
Caroline mountains. Notwithstanding
his snow-white beard and the wrinkles
which time had left on his face, he
seemed TO be mentally as active as
ever, and there was no faltering in his
step.
"Of all the great statesmen of the
North that l have known" once said
General Clingman to me, the one l
always recall with the greatest salts
faction, is William H. Seward

tered the senate, and that acquaint-
ance, in due time, ripened into some
thing like friendship. Did you know
that, in Stewards time, there was no
northern member of the senate who
was on more friendly terms with the
southern members of congress gener-
ally? And that reminds me of the
first and only time / saw Senator
Seward weep in public.
Seward became a member of the
senate in 1S49. Three years before
Texas had sent to the senate as its
first representative in that body Sam
Houston and Thomas J.. Rusk, who
had stood second to Houston in the
war which had established the indie
pendence of Texas. Between Rusk and
Seward there soon sprang up friend
ly relation that gradually ripened into
a real intimacy, and this relation was
nine days wonder to many, for Sew
ard had then become recognized as
the leading anti-slavery Wing in the
senate, while Rusk represented

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
KEEPING HENS FREE
FROM CHICKEN LICE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BY PROFESSOR ]. G. HALPIN

IxNNNxxxxNxXxx: xxNNNxNANxNES
Chicken lice live on the body and
bite the fowls. They do not suck
their blood as mites do, but they are
generally so numerous that the annoy
ance makes the hen stop laying
Usually if good dirt wallow is pro-
vided, hens will keep free from lice.
Through the moulting period, hens are
more or less sluggish and do not dust
themselves as they should This is
the time lice multiply most rapidly
The dust bath should be renewed
often during the moulting season by
spading up the ground.
1t is best to examine the fowls to
see if they are infected with lice.
Chicken lice are large enough to be
readily seen when one pulls back the
feathers on the body They may be
killed by busting the fowls with in
sect powder or dipping them in sheep
dip. The dip should be heated to los
degrees.
In dipping a hen, grasp her feet
with the left hand and her head with
the right hand. Dip the whole body
except the head into the disinfectant.
1t is best to dip on a hot day in the
open air.
A good insect powder can be made
as follows: Take eight parts gasoline
and one part crude carbolic acid. Mix
these well and add all the plaster
paris the liquid will moisten Allow
this to dry and dust on the same as
any insect powder
Another good preparation is a mix
ture Of equal parts flowers of sulphur
and tobacco dust.

Armitage was, therefore, very widely

Protestant denominations who, like
Henry Ward Beecher, maintained in
innate personal and social relations
with the leading prelates of the
Church of Rome in America.
had heard that but for what seem
ed to be slight accident or misun-
derstanding DR.. Armitage, instead of
Rev. DR.. Burchard, would have spoken
for 500 clergymen at the reception
given to James G. Blaine in New York
city near the close of the presidential
campaign in 1864, the reception at
which DR.. Burchard spoke the words
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion"
which caused Mr. Blaine to lose the
presidential election. I met DR.. Armi-
tage a year of two before his death,
which occurred In 1896, and asked
him if the reports which l had heard
were accurate
Yes" he replied THAT strange
and adverse fate which prevented
Blafne-as a like destiny had pre-
vented Henry Clay-from becoming
president was responsible for the &C.
cident which brought about my non
appearance as spokesman for the
clergymen at the reception for Mr..
Blaine.
This reception, as you may remem-
Der, was a suddenly arranged affair.
1t was the understanding of those
who planned it that | was to be in
vfted to speak before the candidate.
1t so happened that I was in Philadel-
phia at the time, attending a great
meeting of Baptists called especially
to commemorate the services of Rev.
DR.. Peddie. Therefore when Stephen
b. Elkins, who had arranged for the
reception, sent the invitation to me to
act as spokesman it did not reach me-
Haste was necessary, so it was deter
mined to call upon Rev. DR.. Burchard,
who was a good man and an earnest
man, but curiously lacking in tact.
When l read the dispatch from
New York to the effect that the
clergymen were to attend the Blaine
reception and that DR. Burchard was
to speak to them, l was instantly
dominated by the conviction that I
ought to be in New York to meet DR..
Burchard and find out what he was
going to say. l boarded the earliest
possible train for New York and upon
my arrival was taken by cab to the
Fifth Avenue hotel I was too late.
The reception was almost over.
But even then, had I been told
what Or. Burchard had said, | should
have challenged him on the spot. |
should have made an effort to clear
the atmosphere Immediately, and it
would have been possible for me to
do so because the great leaders of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States knew of the warm personal re-
lations which existed between Car
dinal McCloskey, Archbishop Hughes
and myself.
Unfortunately. I did not learn
what DIR. Burchard had said until it
was too late to repair the damage.
As you know full well, his expression
was instantly caught up and pub
lished widely, and I knew from that
moment that Mr.. Blaine was doomed"

SPRAYING TO DESTROY
CHICKEN MITES
Observation-Disclosures
BY PROFESSOR J. G. HALPIN
Hircontin CnH,rs IF 1.rilrllt,.r.

1$.AH%&$.N$.%.HHS.S.S DEMONSTRATIONS
Chicken mites suck the blood of the
fowls and weaken them. They live in
the house and lay their eggs in crey-
ices. They suck the blood of the
fowls during the night. During hot
weather they multiply rapidly, each
female laying hundreds of eggs.
They can be killed by contact insect
icides. One of the best of these is
kerosene. This is more effective than
kerosene emulsion, and although it is
little more expensive to use, is is
much better especially in small houses.
1t should be applied thoroughly with
spray pump, care being taken to get
it in all of the cracks around the
roosts and walls of the house. This
spraying should be repeated in about
two weeks. Ordinarily two thorough
sprayings will rid the house of the
pest
Another way to destroy mites is to
thoroughly whitewash the house and
work the whitewash into the cracks
with broom or brush. Ordinary
whitewash to which two parts crude
carbolic acid has been added will give
the results desired. This is best ap-
piled with spray pump.
Most any of the standard coal tar
disinfectants will kill mites. A FIVE
per cent. solution should be used.
There are many of these products on
the market, Zenoleum, Crenolin, Creo-
sote, ETC., and they may be purchased
at most any drug store or poultry sup
ply house.

DR.. Burchard Was Substituted for
DR.. Thomas Armitage at Clergy
mems Reception and Uttered
the Famous Fatal Words.

Rev. DR.. Thomas Armitage was, in
his lifetime, recognized as the ablest
and most influential Baptist clergy
man in the United States. Although
he was an Englishman by birth, not
coming to the United States until he
was near his majority, nevertheless
there was no native-born American
who ever exceeded him in patriotic
ardor, nor was there any clergyman
who gave service of greater value TO
the Union at the time of the Civil
war. He was for years the pastor of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in
New York, commonly known as John
d. Rockefeller's church, although dur
ing his passionate Mr.. Rockefeller was
not member of the congregation.
DR.. Armitage was an intimate per-
sonal friend of the first American car
dinal, Archbishop McCloskey, and he
was at the time of the Civil war in
very intimate relations with Arch
bishop John Hughes, whom President
Lincoln sent to Europe as a special
