Then They Got a Big Surprise When
Daylight Appeared.
The father of Joseph Altsheler, the
writer of war stories, was a PrussiaE
who came to this country a few years
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
ject to draft by either army when hos
Titles began, but his southern SYM
pathies made him obnoxious to a group
Of bushwhackers who, posing as Fed.
erals, infested the vicinity Of the Ken
tucky-Tennessee state line.
One starless, moonless night in the
summer of 1863 a neighbor came with
the word that the bushwackers. were
on their way to kill Mr.. Altsheler and
another resident Of the vicinity who
had, been outspoken In his approval of
secession. It was not certain, the mes
senger said, which road Of two the
marauders would take to reach the
homes Of their proposed victims; but it
was certain that they would be along
soon.
Mr.. Altsheler and the other threat
ened man gathered up a blanket apiece
and went into the woods to hide. In
the darkness they speedily lost ali
sense Of direction. For an hour they
wandered about, seeking a suitable
camping place. Finally they came to
q spot that was free Of trees and
where the ground felt smooth under
foot. So they spread their blankets
and went to sleep, secure in the be-
lief that no bushwhacker could find
them there.
The rising sun, shining in their faces,
walked them. They sat up and looked
around. They had been .asleep all
night at the only place where the
raiders could not have failed to find
them had their plans been carried out
at the forks Of the county road.-satur.

Scraps Ordinarily Thrown Away May
Be Successfully Utilized.
There is a great deal of waste In the
American kitchen. Thus the green
tops of certain vegetables, such as
beets, carrots, onions and radishes, all
Of which are utilized by cooks Of other
countries as soup greens, are often
thrown away, although they are Of
food value. Pea pods make a delicious
soup If boiled with a small piece of
fat pork and some barley or rice and
then strained clear.
The stock pot, that treasure Of the
Tuscan and the French cook; receives
all the clean waste that is thrown
away by other nations. Even fruit

Gas Il rrees.

An interesting phenomenon, says a
writer in American Forestry, is the IS
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 II lighted
it will burn with a faint yellow fame"
Decomposition of the heart wood Of the
tree is supposed to cause the formation
Of the gas.

Should you eve find it necessary to
obtain the diameter Of a fine wire, 1t
may be done in this manner: Wind it
carefully around a piece Of pencil in
one layer for al inch or 50, that each
turn is touching the previous one. Then
measure exactly an inch along the wire
and count the number Of turns in the
luck. You then have the information.
Thus, If there are eighteen turns the
wire IS one-eighteenth Of an inch d.

according to DIR. Furman i. Milford 10.

agriculture Not that Or. Multord
would abbreviate the ceremonies at

dar or on future Arbor days, but be-
cause they do not mean much unless

climate. America has the prettiest
native trees and shrubs in the world
and it is true patriotism to recognize
them.
For southern states one Of the pref
test shade trees is the laurel oak. and
there will be thousands OF them
planted. 1t is almost an evergreen
and is q quick growing tree. The
willow oak is another. A little farth-
or north the red oak is one Of the
most desirable, and in many places the
swamp maple grows well, though THIS
latter tree does not thrive we'll In

to be a favorite. One thing against It.
though, is the elm beetle, pest
which is spreading and which will
kill some of our most beautiful trees
unless spraying is consistently prac-
ticed. China berry trees, abundant in
the south, and box elders. native to a
score Of states, are quick growing
but they reach maturity too soon and
begin to go to pieces
What is the reason so many 'Arbor
day trees die" Dr.. milford was
asked Usually lack OF protection,
and often lack of care in planting"
was the answer. When the new tree
begins to put out tender rootlets
child brushing against it or inspect
ing it too closely will break them off
and it dies. Or stock will nip off the
new leaves and shoots and the result
is the same a frame around the tree
would prevent this. Then. often. wild
trees are too big when transplanted.

Fruit trees are seldom success as

their branches are too low and unless
