An Army In Himself.

1t was the custom during the war,
for all the gentlemen who from age or
other disabilities were not in the
army, to visit any soldier who came
home sick or wounded.
Bill Tucker lived in the piny woods
not far from Col. LIS plantation. He
was wounded at Fredericksburg and
came home on a furlough. AS usual
Col. L. no sooner heard that Bill was
at home and wounded than old Dan
was hitched to the buggy and bask-
ct of something good" was prepared
by Mrs. L. Bill was not much hurt,
and intensely hattered by Col. LIS Wis
it. 1t happened to be Sunday and sew
eral of the neighbors had dropped in,
so Bill Tucker laid himself out to en-
tertain his company.
For some time the conversation was
general and consisted of inquiries af-
ter the absent boys. Finally, Col. L..
asked, We'll, William, tell us how you
got hurt"
"We-e-ell, colonel, I'll tell you," said
Bill. Ou see OuI Dll6dNS "oo va
them big rollin' hills was tellin' you
about, and just about day in the morn
in Gen. Lee rides up, he did, and he
said, 'Whar is Gen. Hoke?' And Gen.
Hoke, he says, Here 1 is, general
says he, and Gen. Lee, he says, Gen.
Hoke, who is the bravest man you've
got in your brigade? and Gen. Hoke,
he says, General, Mr.. Bill Tucker is
the bravest man ever seed and he
says, Call him here, and Gen. Hoke, he
says, Come here, Mr.. Tucker, if you
please and 1 come, 1 did, and 1 tuck
off my cap, polite like, and l says,

plosion balls, and I want you to get
out yonder behind that thar wall, and
don't you let 'em come on me, Mr.
Tucker And / says, 'Gineral, I'm

and garden crops. Usually it Is better
to use lime when seeding to grass,
grain or clover. Do not plow lime un-
der, but spread on the rough burrows
and harrow in. You will seldom OBJ
tain good results by spreading on top
of a sod. Do not mix burned lime
with hen manure or any other organic
plant food. The ground limestone
may be safely used for this purpose.

How to Use Lime.-We have more
questions about the use of lime than on
any other single line of agriculture.
There are several things which may he
repeatcd over and over. Ground lime
stone is better on light soils which
have little humus in them. We would
use burned lime on heavy or very sour
soils Never buy lime without guar
anteed ANALYSIS. and figure from it
which pound of lime is cheapest. For
quick results YOU should use two
pounds Of ground limestone to one of
burned lime. Do not use lime on pota-
toes or strawberries. its best results
are on clover. alfalfa, timothy. wheat

CLEVER ANIMAL CRIMINALS.
How Birds, Dogs and Monkeys Assist
Bill Skies.

France has been laughing over
Boschat and his crow, says an eX-
change. Boschat, youth of IS, went
into a grocer's shop in a suburb OF
Paris. and asked for some sugar The
shopkeeper, turning to get the article
was horribly startled by the sight
of a large black crow sitting on a
shelf with it's head on one side and
it's beady eyes fixed on him.
He made a rush to catch the bird'
but it tapped away to the top of some
cases. cawing loudly. Eluding a
further effort to seize it, the crow flew
out of the door, Boschat after 1t. 1t
was not till bird and owner both had
gone that the poor grocer found that
his till had been rifled.
Paris is a favorite centre for the
thief who uses animals as accomplices.
About a year ago a foreign-looking
man, rather fashily dressed, entered
a jewelers. shop in the Rue de la PaiX,
and asked to be shown some rings. A
tray was placed before him, but he
asked for another.
The shop attendant turned to get
them. The man did not move; but. as
it happened, there was a mirror in the
opposite wall behind the counter, put
there for the special purpose of de-
tecting thieves. In this the attendant
saw tiny brown head peek out of
the customers pocket; then a long,
thin, spidery arm flashed out, seized
two rings, and vanished.
The attendant touched an electric
bell. which summoned help, aid the
man and monkey were both arrested.
The man turned out to be a Mexican.
He had been travelling with a menag-
erie. had stolen the monkey, and
taught the little animal to pick up any
article which it's owner had previously
touched with his fingers.
His lodgings were fun Of stolen lace
and jewelry.
A jeweler in Budapest was asked by
customer to procure two fine dia-
sterdam at a price of 6 1000 for the
pair. The customer was examining
them in a private room, when the jew
eler was called away.
When he returned a few moments
later the customer was sitting in his
chair, but the stones had disappeared.
A detective was sent for, but custom
er and room both were searched in
vain.
The jcweler then noticed a small dog
under the table, and it suddenly occur
red to him that the creature must
have swallowed the stones. In spite of
the indignant remonstrances of the
customer, the dog was taken to vet
erinary and poisoned; and when the
body was cut open, sure enough. the
brilliants were in its stomach.
A great Dane was employed as ac-
complicc by two French thieves. Some
little time ago an elderly gentleman
was returning to his home when a
huge dog bounded against him, plac-
ing its fOrepaWs upon his WaistcOat.
Under the pretense of assisting the
daZed man, and brushing the dust off
his coat, the thieves succeeded in
stealing his watch and chain.

UNCLE sam POOR EMPLOYER
Public officials Receive Small Pay IN
Comparison Win Employees
Of Big Corporations

The American people are en-
tremely generous employers when
the compensation Of an expert or
gsnizer, or administrator Of a great
money-earning enterprise is to be
decided; but they are exceedingly
niggardly employers when the mat
ter Of conducting the affairs Of their
own government officers is involved.
A salary Of $50, 900 is promptly vot-
ed by the directors and stockholders
Of an important bank or railroad,
and 20 long as the man who receives
it organizes, extends and administers
the property successfully and meets
dividends and surplus requirements,
there is no breath Of complaint or
criticism. 1t is, in short, only nee
essary to "make good" In the gov
eminent service, on the contrary, ex-
cept few men in the customs sery-
ice, but three administrative officials
below the rank Of cabinet officer re-
ceive a salary as high as $4,000. In
Guiding the customs service, there
are less than two hundred permanent
administrative positions under the
government which carry a salary of
over $50 per week. OF course it
cannot be expected that the great adj
ministrators of banks and manufac-
turing and public-service corpora

ton to federal positions Of uncertain
tenure, carrying compensation

Fremont. looking down, saw
black specks where he knew his

sheer fall of 500 feet, and then a
broad expanse of ice and snow, a
mile square, terminating in anoth-
er precipice. He looked about

Fremont gained the title of The

early forties, when he blazed the
trail westward for the California
pioneers. Afterwards he helped
California gain independence from
Mexico, was elected governor of
the territory, became United
States senator, and finally was the
first candidate of the republican
party for president, but was defeat
ed by Buchanan. Men still living
proudly boast that they cast their

An amazing number of black
costumes have been seen lately,
and when black is not chosen the
costume is generally of some very
dark hue that, under artificial
light, easily passes for it. Few
are the light or bright costumes
seen, and as fer the all-black hat,
or that with merely touch OF COLI

so much worn that it is safe to say
that a little later there will be a
