 Kerchfval West, shortly after his ar rival at St. Louis, was assigned to the army of southwestern Missouri, where in a short time he saw hard service in almost every line except that of actual fighting. A large addi- ton had been made to the regular army and to i'll vacancies in the new regiments rapid promotions among the officers already in service had occurred. In a few months time West rose from second lieutenant to the rank of cap tain of infantry-an advancement which a year before could only have been gained as a reward of perhaps fifteen years of continuous service.
 As weeks and months passed on it was possible to find certain encour- agement in the fact that the defeat of McDowelPs army, while not utilized by the ConfederateA to. it's full miH- tary effect, nevertheless f1attered them into a feeling of strength and secu- rfty, resulting in comparative fnac- tivity in the field for the better part of a year. At the north the effect produced was exactly the contrary.

It flashed over Heartsease's mind at the time that one or two more commands like this one would make Beauregard hard to whip, not knowing that this was the unique First brigade of the Army of the Shen- andoah, under Jackson.

This should have been the Union reserves from CentervfIle, but it was not. It was General Kirby Smith of the Army of the Shenandoah arriving with 1,7OO fresh infantry. The whole southern line now advanced to the charge, and the combined attack upon the Federal flank and front was decisive enough to turn the tide of battle from uncertain ty to sudden panic. The lines of blue wavered and broke, fell back from the plateau, across the Warrrenton pike and on toward the Bull Run fords. The repulse became a rout, the rout grew into an appalling avalanche of defeat.
 The Federal advance on the southern side of Bull Run had seen a regiment moving toward them, but were told it was a New York regiment which had been expected for support, and the ar tsllerymen withheld their fire.

children's Scrap Books.

Scrap book collecting is farm nurs-
cry diversion that has fewer adher-
ents than II once had. Time was when
the youngsters devoted much time and
thought to gathering material with
which to I'LL the books, and who would
succeed in having the best collection
was matter of heated competition.
1t seems n pity that this form Of col
lecting should have dropped into dis
favor. for if rightly directed it may
be the means of developing traits In
the child that would otherwise lie dor
mant.
In the selection of clippings for a
child's scrap book large proportion
of space should be allotted to verse.
The attention Of the child will thus
be directed to the many beautiful ideas
that are clothed in musical measure.
Numbers Of grown folks can say that
many a noble sentiment has become
fixed In their thoughts which would
perhaps have escaped them had 1t not
been presented in the beautiful garb
of poetry and had not the making of
scrap books been one of the delights
of their childhood.
