Misplaced Sentiment.

HedQGTS VI newspapers hoNC DCSAA
informed that Gen. Daniel E. Slckles
has been arrested in New York ana
held in custody subject to ball
charged with a shortage OF S23,4'o
of the money of the Monument
Commission, and to his rescue mas
come Mrs. Helen d. Longstreet, the
wife of General Longstreet, who
was one of Gen. Robert Z. Lees
lieutenants during the progress OF
the war in Virginia.
1t is not questioned that it is Mrs.
Longstreets privileges to appeal to
her friends and to the Veterans OF
the Confederacy to aid General
Sickles in his ENHANCEMENT with
the law, but more practical and
judicious is the suggestion OF the
sheriff that the shortage of the gen.
eral be supplied by John P. Morgan,
John d. Rockefeller, Andrew Car
negie, the loyal and true, and every
one multimillionaire, but even the
restoration of this deficit would~not
relieve General Sickles of discredlt
and humiliation if the accusation
against him is provable and true.
If the charge be true, he can not
escape the conclusion that he has
misused or misapplied the funds
which were entrusted to his keep
ing, or over which he had supervis-
ion. And if the charge be true and
is provable, there is no good reason
why he should be exonerated, ex-
cept through misapplied sympathy,
suggested because he is aged and is
titled general, a rank he occupied
in the Federal army during the his
toric struggle between the States of
the North and of the South.
In her sympathy for General
SiekIes, Mrs. Longstreet from her
home in Gainesville, Ga, where she
holds the Office of postmistress,
declared in telegram to Gen.
eral Sickles that she will raise
money among the ragged, destitute
and manned veterans who followed
Lee to nav the amount demanded if
the New York officials will allow
sufficient time. The Republic, she
adds. s.whose battles YOU fought will
not permit your degradation
Such sentiment from Mrs Long
street is NOT surprising but if is

IDEAL SOUTHERN FOWL
Indian Runner Most Profitable
Breed of Ducks.
Champion Layers Of Large, White
Eggs and Require but Little
Attention Outside of Plen-
tifui Supply Of Water.

As the Matching time approaches
special attention shosld be given the
hen and eggs. Duck eggs require more
moisture than hen eggs. We sprinkle
the eggs with tepid-warm water three
or four times during the hatch They
should be sprinkled at least twice
during last ten days of incubation.
The shell of duck egg is porous. and
a lack Of moisture will cause the shell
to become brittle. and when this oc-
ours the inner membrane will become
tough and thus hinder the duckling
from getting out. The water sprinkiei
on the eggs viii be converted into
steam by the heat of the hens body.
and thus soften the inner membrane,
so when the eggs are due to hatch the
ducklings can easily liberate them
selves. Ducklings pip the eggs from
"a to As hours before they are ready
to leave the shell. The day they are
due to hatch the nest should be
watched closely in order to remove
the broken eggshells from the nest ev-
cry few hours. There is danger of
the empty shells slipping over the
ones not yet Matched and smothering
the ducklings.
II the young are properly Matched
they are very easy to raise. and If the
breeders are kept in good condition.
