Plan FOR Tuberculosis Day.
AS SCHEDULED.

Sermons on the prevention of con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands Of churches on April %, which
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis has
set aside as Tuberculosis day.
Last year out of 1000 0 churches
in the United States, over $4,000
observed Tuberculosis day, and mil
lions Of churchgoers were told
about this disease from the pull
pit. This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel Of
health preached more widely thar
ever before. The movement will %
pushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
Iosis associations allied with the ma
tional association and through the
boards of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds Of
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and in
terested in the tuberculosis campaign.

CHAPTER xI.
In the Presence Of Sheridan.

In the Presence OF Sheridan.
1t had been dark for nearly an hour
before we entered what was from all
appearances a large and populous
camp. No sooner vas l thrust into
not unkindly sergeant, than l threw
myself prone on the floor, and was
sound asleep before the door had fair
ly closed behind him,
My rest was not destined to be q
long one. 1t seemed l had barely
closed my eyes when a rough hand
shook me again into consciousness
The flaming glare Of an uplifted pine
knot flung its radiance over half-a-
dozen figures grouped in the open
doorway. A corporal, with a white
chin beard, was bending over me.
Come, Johnny" he said tersely.
get Up you're wanted"
The instinct Of soldierly obedience
in which l had been so long trained
caused me to grope my way to my
feet.
What time is it, Corporal?" asked
sleepily.
AlIeI mluulSuI
who wishes me?"
Headquarters" he returned brusque-
ly. Come, move on. Fall In, men,"
Our march was a short one, and we
soon turned abruptly in at a wide
open gateway. High pillars of brick
stood upon either hand, and the pas
sag was well lighted by a brightly
blazing fire Of logs. Two sentries
stood there, and our party passed be-
tween them without uttering a word.
AS we moved beyond the radiance l
noted = little knot of cavalrymen ST.
lently sitting their horses in the
shadow Of the high wall. A wide
~gravelled walk, bordered, l thought,
with flowers, led toward The front door
of a commodious house built after the
colonial type. The lower story seemed
fairly ablaze with lights. and at the
head of the steps as we assembled a
young officer came quickly forward.
SIS this the prisoner brought in to-
night?"
The corporal pushed me forward.
This is the man. sir"
VERY well; hold your command
here until l send other orders"
He rested one hand, not unkindly,
upon my arm, and his tone instantly
changed from that of command to gen
erous courtesy.
"You will accompany me, and per
nit me t. advise you. for your own
sake, to be as civil as possible in your
tonight, for the old man is
In one of his tantrums."
We crossed the rather dimly lighted
hall, which had a sentry posted al
either end Of It, and then my con
ductor threw open a side door, and
silently motioned for MI to enter II
advance of him. 1t was as spacious
room, elegant in all it's appointments
but my hasty glance revealed only
three occupants. Sitting at a hand

"Rebs?" with an %incredulous laugh.

Well returned the scout, sullen-
ly, they're coming from the west,
and l know they amt our fellows"
He was too old a soldier to have
his Judgment doubted. and he was
evidently convinced. Brennan glanced
quickly about. However he may
have sneered at the report, he was
not rash enough to chance so grave a
mistake.
Get back into those rocks there on
the right" he commanded sharply.

Rapidly as we moved, we were
| scarcely all under cover before the ad-
vance cavalry guard came in sight, the
light fringe of troopers. dust-begrimed
and weary. resting heavily in their
saddles, and apparently thoughtless as
to any possibility Of meeting with the
enemy. There we're not more than a
troop of them all told, yet their short
gray jackets and wide-brimmed light
hats instantly told the story OF the1
service. Their rear rank was yet IN
sight when we heard the heavy tread
of the approaching column, togetner
with the dull tinkle OF steel which al

much attention to diversified farming,

port of the Southern Railway company.
The report was for the year ending

the twelve months $2,7OO,0OO preferred

The expenses OF operating the railroad
system were $4S, 6sS, 1853 and 7,0SS0S miles
of trackage were operated during the
period. In 1911. 7,On.s5 miles were In
operation.
Referring to the progress of agrieul-
ture in the district traversed by the
railroad. the report says: Southeastern
farmers are appreciating more tuliy

sive men in all parts of the section are
demonstrating the practicability Of great
Iv increasing the average yields per acre
OF all the staple farm crops. Notable
work in. this direction has been done
by the company's cotton culture depart
ment. The cotton culture depart
ment having demonstrated its efficiency
not only against the boil weevil, but
also In securing increased yields per
acre, has been merged into larger de-
