day or two he has been enlisted as a
private in the same command in which
ne served as captain. and has taken his
place in the ranks He marches with a

clipper as any OF the boys Of the
command despite his age of sixty years.

Col. John S. Harwood. for several years
a member Of the general assembly from

gressional race against Capt. John Lamb.
This is accepted as true in every part of
the third district, and the friends Of that
gentleman are actively at work organ

riably leads the ticket in the race for the

own ambition and to the wishes of his
friends to make the contest. Can't Lamb
has been in Congress some fifteen wears.

a very popular man. He will be in the
race to succeed himself and will conduct
q vigorous campaign.

cares can drop gift therein for the

When the little folk or the house are
hungry-and they always are-it is much
better to take the keen edge off their
voracious young appetites with some
thing nourishing than it is to satiate them
with sweets. Many mothers keep at least
one such dish on hand, and when the
children, home from school, clamor for a
piece" they preserve their health and
dinner appetites by giving them some
thing sensible as well as good.
Chicken Broth.
Remove the skin and fat from chicken
and chop it up, bones and all. into small
pieces. Add some salt and a quart Of boil
ing water. cover it and simmer it for two
hours. Then allow 1t to stand for one
hour, still covered, after which strain it
through sieve. This Is one of the most
wholesome and Strengthening dishes a
child can have.
