before the war between the states
broke out and settled in Barren county.
Kentucky. By reason of his foreign
birth the elder Altsheler was not sub

of bushwhackers who. posing as Fed

One starless, moonless night in the
summer of 1868 a neighbor came with
the word that the bushwackers We're
on their way TO kill Mr.. Altsheler and
another resident of the vicinity who
had been outspoken in his approval of

Gas In Trees.

An interesting phenomenon, says a
writer in American Forestry. is the eS-
cape of gas from cavities at the base
of hardwood trees in the Ozarks. when
the trees are cut down. when the
cavities are cut into the gas escapes
with a whistling sound, and if lighted
it will burn with faint yellow fame
