HAD NO RATIoNs TO SPARE
Good Reason Why Confederate Com
mander Was Willing to See His
Prisoners Escape.

When. at Gaines Mill in 1862, the
9th Texas captured two whole regi-
ments of Union soldiers, the Texans
were all very proud of their achieve
ment- One of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union Officers gave up
their swords to Col Upton, they were
SO prompt in the duty that he was
compelled to lay down the frying pan
which he carried in the place OF a
sword and hold the weapons presented
in his arms
Just then he noticed a connection at
the far end of the captured regiments
That was near the timber, and squad
of the prisoners were making an eff
fort to pass by big John" Ferris of
Company B. who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to intercept them
Springing upon log, the armful of
swords dangling about in every direc-
ton. Upton shouted:
John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
Il am trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" yelled Big John.
Let them go, you fool" shouted
back Upton WED rather fight than

SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance In Price
of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of ice after the cold winter. we
hopefully submit the following:
1. The ice being so thick and heavy,
1t costs more to handle it
2 The blocks are SO large that there
is great waste In cutting them up for
the retail trade.
8. The ice is so cold it freezes solid
in the storage houses and Is very diff
cult to get out
A. As the winter has been SO cold,
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for ice very
great. so that it is doubtful If there
will be enough to go around
5. The ice being extra thick, extra
cold, and extra quality all through, it
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded
6. The price of ice never had any
relation to the cost of production, any
how.-Life.

ScALY PSORIASIS ON LIMBS

Mccoy, Sparta. Wis.-"I was troubled

Portions of my arms and limbs were

The looks of 1t was horrible, which

I tried several treatments which
cured me for a month, but it always
