creature in battle, absolutely fearless,
and I had another soldier, little fell

who looked like girl, and he was as
calm, and brave a soldier as ever went
into an engagement
HE was wounded in one battle, and
] saw him drag himself and his gun
down to a stream. There he washed
his wounded leg, bound it up with
bandGges made from his shirt, and he
came back proudly to the firing line
where he stayed all day. There were
many men of special bravery in every
company, and those who were coward
" were very few, as my experience in
the late war taught me-"

him the fact that he was a south
erner, ordered that he be held under
arrest and charges of desertion be
made against him.
Davis laughed at the idea of charges
against man who hated Confederates
as he hated poison, and if he felt the
least doubt about his being able to
clear himself none of US could de-
tect it.
But the evidence came in heavy
against him. He was recognized as
having belonged to an entirely differ
ent corps from ours and as having
played the same game before, doubt
less serving as a Federal soldier and
carrying information to Confederate
generals. Before the court finished the
case it came out that Davis belonged
to an old Maryland family, that he
held a commission as lieutenant colo
mel in the Confederate army and was
high in favor with several Confederate
generals, whom he had furnished with
enough information to enable any army
to defeat twice its numbers.
Davis was sentenced to be hanged.
His family might have saved his life
had he been convicted of desertion.
Indeed, they were handicapped, know
ing that he was SPIN fact, an of
ficer of high rank in the Confederate
army. The best they could do for him
was to obtain a change in the mode
of his death. The sentence was made
shooting instead of hanging.
Davis maintained the same GOODNESS
of outward appearance to the moment
of his death. Before he was a spy of
the enemy; now he was one of natures
princes.

guest of honor, for veterans from both
sides assembled to see and talk to ''the
oldest man at Gettysburg"
Weiss served through the four years
Of the war in the One Hundred and
Fourteenth Pennsylvania volunteers,
enlisting at the age of fifty-eight. His
mental alertnesS and his willingness to
talk of his war experiences astonished
visitors to Gettysburg in view of his
very advanced age An interesting in
cident Of the encampment was the pho
tographing together of Weiss and Colo
mel John L. Glen. who was the young
est veteran at the Gettysburg encamp-
ment. Colonel Glen was only sixty one
at the time of the reunion, although
that occurred fifty years after the bat
tie.
Old Micajah is a native of Delaware
Water Gap, Pa. All his life, save his
four years in the Union army, was
spent in the woods hunting, fishing
and trapping He survived three wives
and at the time of the Gettysburg cele-
bration was living with his fourth wife,
who was seventy-eight years old.

them aside with his cane. Not yet"
he said. II only stopped in to see If
a tired and hungry old man could get
a bite of sandwich and a bit of coffee
to stimulate him so he could continue
on his way feeling stronger"
He was fixed up in hurry. The
surgeons wanted him to come in and
lie down because he was overheated,
but he would not hear of it.
The veterans at Gettysburg seemed
old, but it is certain that some of them
will be there twenty-four years hence

sary of the battle Brakeman, the last
soldier of the Revolution, lived eighty
six years after peace was signed, or
until 1869.

The softest whisperings of the scent

And where the thunders of the fight (

The winds sweet tenor in the stand

And low skies bending over love

Or where the wales ring with the

Sad. ,wistful eyes and broken hearts

For the loved sound of unreturning

SWAT THE ROOSTER

In the inSerst of the infertile egg
the poultry specialists of the De
partment Of Agriculture have Start
ed a campaign for the elimination
of the rooster among poultry flocks
during the Geason between May 1
and December l. In this connection
Saturday, May 16, has been set
aside as rooster day in Kentucky
and Tennessee, when every poultry
dealer in these states has agreed
to pay the same prices for ROSTERS
as they do for hens and pullets.
There is an enormous loss in eggs
as the resultof the fertile egg, es-
pecially during the summer and
fall months, and it is for this reas-
on the Department of Agriculture
recommends that the rooster be kept
away from the hens during those
seasons. 1t is estimated that one
third of the tremendous annual loss
of eggs is due to the fertile egg.
The department advises that on
the 1st day of May all male birds
be either killed, sold, or confined
until the LIST of December or as the
1st of January in some localities,
inasmuch as it is not necessary TO
the laying qualities of a hen that
a rooster be maintained in the
flock. Moreover, his presence dur
ing those months mean fertile eggs
which mean bad eggs, and the con-
sequent loss to the producer and the
consumer.

: In an effort to stamp out the
CHAMBERS which have been prevalent
in the Big Lost River district since
last December, the state veterinarian
has killed in the neighborhood of six
ty horses and while the disease now
appears to be under control and
Their are no known cases existing now
he feels that there is still danger in
some of the more out of the way
canyons and that it is possible that
twenty or thirty more horses will
have to be killed before the disease
is entirely stampedout.
Owners of horses will be glad to
learn of his determination to stamp
out this dread disease and also that
the efforts are being successful.
Chambers is a very fatal disease and
when once started means the killing
of a large number of animals and I'M
less the strictest measures are taken
it spreads very rapidly from one SEC
ton of a state to another. AS no
other section of the state has hid
amy cases of CHAMBERS it is probably
that the prompt and efficient work
of the state official has prevented
the spread of the disease and the loss
of any more animals.
