portions OF the war that have come
under his notice.
1T was about two o'clock in the
afternoon of May H." said Mr.. Ellis.
when our battery was ordered to
take its place o. the line. We were
near a turnpike road and advanced
along this, but were soon halted for
a wait of some minutes and sent into
parking at the side OF the road. We
had been there probably not more
than two mute when a shell burst
near by. The captain then gave or
ders to dismount, but Just as the or
der came another shell burst directly
over us. The fuse had been cut a
little longer. A large fragment Of the
shell descended on us and tore the
saddle from the swing or middle team
of the gun I was on. killing n OF the
horses. Then we to get out OF the
parking.
The pike was filled with wounded
men going to the rea like he crowd
in a Chicago street, and there were
strings of ambulances continually
passing. We drove against the cur
rent to the place where our batteries
of long range guns had been set up
n waited there for a while. In or
der to be of service we must be near
er the enemy and In a short time we
advanced beyond our battery line. We
descended into a ravine and climbed
the other side. unlimber1ng u four
guns under the brow of he hill. Be-
fore us at the right there was open
ground to a point half a mile distant,
where the timber began. At the left
the woods came almost to the ravine
and here the Second Michigan infan-
try was stationed.
Near the trees half a mile distant
a little at our right were four Con-
federate regiments. This point was
supposed to be one Of the weak places
in the Union line, and these regiments
had been sent to make a breach. We
shelled them, and they fanked into
the woods at our left. We were de-
pending on the Michigan men at the
left to have pickets In the woods.
Whether they did not or whether the
pickets were unable to give the alarm,
I do not know. l do know that sud
denly the Confederates appeared IT
the edge Of the woods within twenty
feet of our guns.
I'VE had loaded with two charges
of canister. and we fired tho big
twelve-inch guns In their faces. Nc
one could have withstood such firing
at so short a range. They fell back

had led his men in the advance.
Our men on the FIRST gun had been
nearly all killed OF wounded In this
charge OF the Confederates; saw q
man OF the Michigan regiment pull on
his coat with a yell. and heard him
cry, WHO says we're not artillery

and rammed home a charge Of CAMS

the woods, and no Drawer men ever
lived or died looking into tho can

heavy columns, pressing forward and
walking over the dead to I'LL the bro
ken ranks.
ITO me, as l stood in partial cover
holding the horses. 1t seemed an age.
but in reality it must have been .
short time indeed before the Confed-
crates fell back again. There had
been more Of them killed before our
battery than there were Americans
killed on the firing line in all the
Standardization war.
I'VE had received the full force Of
the fight. The Michigan infantry at
our left had helped US, but they had
not been fired on. l believe only one
of them was lost and that was q man

PORTABLE HOG PEN Is HANDY
Those That Will Accommodate Sew
eraI Medium Sized Hogs in Com
mon Use by Small Farmers.

A portable hog pen that will accom-
modate several medium sized hogs or
four shoats is in common use by the
small farmers and truckers of the
New England states. These pens are
found convenient, sanitary and far
superior to the stationary pen, which
Is more or less a nuisance in thickiy

are gradually coming into use in the
trucking sections of New Jersey. as
their many excellent points become
better known. They are just the thing

Whitewash for Cow Stables.

In preparing whitewash for the
walls. ceilings, posts OF the COW barn,
ETC., it is best to add some antiseptic.
Slack the fresh stone lime by adding
water gradually and stirring it until
it is a smooth, thick, creamy body,
says the American Cultivator Add to
this a pint Of crude c%artolic acid for
every ten gallons. If 1t is to be put
on by hand it needs only a little more
thinning with water. But If it is to
be applied by a spray pump. much
more waite is needed and the wash
must be strained through a cloth. The
withdrawing should be done when
the cows are not in the Dor The
doors and windows should be open to
allow Of rapid drying. Ordinarily 1t
is not necessary to do the whitewash-
ing oftener than every six weeks
through the winter season, but let the
fall application be done row and very
thoroughly.

HAS PIT|FUL RECORD
Carolina Woman Inmate of Home
for 81 Years.
Lynn Anderson Has Been In the "Poor
House" Of Union County, N. c.,
Ever Since It Was Built In
the Year 1345.

Raleigh, N. C.-There is in the
county home of Union county, this
state, a woman who has been it's in
mate since the home was established,
some CT years ago. Lynn Anderson
is her name, and she is now over sew
enty years old. Lynn's mother was
the wife of Jack Anderson, who had
been in the days Of his youth a sailor
and was known in the northern part OF
Union county, where he lived, as
Sailor Jack Anderson" After the
death of Sailor Jack" his wife, being
p~enniless, and unable to make a living
for herself and two daughters, Mar.
garet and Lynn, took them to the
county home, which had just been
built, on a farm three miles southeast
of Monroe, the county seat, and they
were the first inmates of the county
poor house." as it was then called.
When Lynn entered the county
home she was four years old. Her
mother and her sister died many years
ago. She knows no other home than
the one provided by the county, and
has not, in all the long years since she
entered it, spent a night from under
its roof; and she has never in all these
years been mere than half a mile from
its walls, except when she made the
trip, more than so years ago., from the
old site in the county to Monroe, when
the county home was moved to that
town.
Lynn is a remarkably strong m
and has lone an immense amount OF
hard work. She has drawn n car

FIND TOMB OF ANCIENT RACE
Skulls Found in Kansas Are De.
cIared to Be Unlike Those
of Indians.

Junction City, Kan.-While tearing
down an old mound that lay in his
wheat field, John holland, who lives
several miles northwest of town, found
several skeletons in a fair state of
preservation.
The mound, apparently, was. of nat
ural origin, and the oldest settlers re-
membered it. They say that it look
ed like the work Of nature, and many
supposed that it was a grave, pile W
cred with sod. No attention a ever
paid to the mound until several
months ago when Mr.. holland decided
to level it and utilize the land for
wheat instead of blowing around 1t,
IS farmers have done for the past SO
years.
The mound was about 80 feet in
diameter and about five feet high. It
was covered with sod, with an occa-
sional rock protruding. When Mr.. No
land started to level 1t, he found that
about eight inches underneath the sod
was a rock wall. He kept digging the
dirt away, following the rocks, until
he had unearthed about half Of the
wall. Then he started at the top,
which was slightly %concave, and gave
evidences of once having been arched
over. Digging down in the center. he
came upon many well preserved skulls
and bones, IN piles at different places
within the artificial cave.
People who have examined the skulls
say that they do not resemble Indian
skulls, and the absence of Indian
weapons and utensils would seem to
indicate that bones we're not those of
Indians.

Red in her arms from woodpile to

would be higher than the Union coun-
ty court house. Lynn has had but one
attack of illness, and that was a slight
one. She is still able to work, and is
4 willing worker. The new county
home Of Union, two miles west OF
Monroe, will be completed in a short
time and Lynn will go to it, making
the second journey she has made since
as a little f~our-year-old girl she
:rudged by her mothers side over the
long road from the humble cabin home

IN AGONY WITH H

About four years ago l broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. AZ
ter two months they were all over my

quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an itching, burning
rash. It would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains OF
wheat. l was in q terrible condition.;
l could not sleep or rest. Parts OF my
flesh were raw, and l could scarcely
bear my clothes on. l could not lie
in bed in any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down

with the burning, itching sores. I
could hardly walk and for q long time
I could not put on socks.

when 1 was advised by a friend to try

and used exactly as directed. l used

Carrots for Stock Food.

No root is more relished by domes-
tic animals than carrots. Weight for
weight, they are somewhat less nutri-
tious than potatoes. but the greater
yield more than makes up the diher-
ence in quality. Horses are especial
ly fond of carrots, and when not work
ing hard should have carrots as a
part of their ration. They keep up
their condition and give them a fine
glossy coat.
When fed to cows they somewhat
increase the richness of milk. and are
thought by some to give a richer
color to butter. They are also a val
liable food for sheep and lambs.
