VETERANS STORY
OF WAR CAREER
Had Learned to Obey, and Con-
sequentIy Successful When
He Came to Command.

THE life story of veteran, whose
rise in the commercial field was
from errand boy to head of the
firm, and whose elevation on the bat
tlefield was that from private to cap
tain. He had the old soldiers mod
esty and wariness of bombast, but the
character or the man shows through
his whole explanation. His war rec
ord end his high position in the city's
responsibility speak for themselves.
Before / was twelve years old l
had to go to work somewhere, and,
searching around, found a one-dollar-
a-week position in a wholesale cloth
| ing store. 1t was the old story of 60
ing to work early and quitting late.
AS l grew older and found more
things to do they piled responsibility
upon me. / learned at this point the
things which have made me success
full in later years. l developed the
qualities of dispatching duties with
precision and exactness. / also learned
to obey orders. When one of the
heads of the firm snapped out some
thing at me / did it, and did it quick.
This training was of inestimable value
on the field and helped much in my
promotion.
All the agitation between the North
and South | followed closely in the
papers. / was enthusiastic for the
Union, and when the fort was fired

haps, but my body was strong and
well knit for my age, and / suppose
l was older in experience than many
OF my seniors. l felt at home with
men older than l, mainly because l
had developed a responsibility and Sc
robustness through hard work from an
early age.
While We were in camp was made
corporal. 1t was a minor post, but
there were some duties to be per |

afraid of being afraid. When we re-
ceived orders to charge, however, all
shakiness left me, and / went into
the fray concerned only with doing

Through those first campaigns l
was just one OF the rank and file.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened
to me- A bullet cut through my
clothes once, but did not break the
skin. A queer thing about that incl

chief in my breast pocket, and the

.ERADICATING PESTS
FROM FARM GARDEN
Onion Worm Is Formidable Foe
to Deal With-Green Aphis
Saps vigor of Cucumber.
(By NJ. ROBERTS coNovER.)

| tBy Nj. ROBERTS CONOVER.D
War should be waged from the first
appearance of any garden pests; for
from the grub or maggot that feasts
upon the tender onion bulbs to the
tiny green aphis that saps the vigor
of the melon or cucumber through its
foliage, their depredations advance
rapidly.
When your onions 1atten their
| green tops on the ground pull up kew
eral and examine the bulb. If yau
find it wriggling mass of tiny worms.
you have a formidable guest to deal
with.
Dig up the affected onions and de-
| stroy them, if the bed is not extensive
ly infested, then make an emulsion of
carbolic acid and soapsuds in the pro-
portion Of one pound of hard soap.
| one gallon of water and one pint of
crude carbolic acid.
Dissolve the soap in the water and
add the carbolic acid, stirring until it
forms an emulsion. Then dilute it
with seven and one-half quarts of wa
ter. Pour this down the rows, close
to the plants.
Holes eaten In cabbage leaves are
due to the cabbage worm; a green
creature, whose appetite demands an
extensive area of leaf food. Paris
green mixed with land plaster, in the
proportion of four ounces of paris
green to twenty-five of land plaster,
will kill them.
This is busted over the plants from
a covered tin vessel with perforated
bottom. When done during the
growth of the plant this does not rem
der them injurious as food, as the
growth is from the center.
But If your young cabbage plants
are nipped off just above the ground
with smooth, clean cut, save your
plaster A cutworm has been there.
He is the meanest creature ever held
on charge Of malicious mischief. He
delights in compost and you will find
him near the finest vegetables.
This worm comes out of the ground
in cool, cloudy weather, or at night.
He will nip off any valuable plant in
his vicinity and retire. A circle of
poisoned bran about the plants will
destroy these worms. Two ounces of
paris green are mixed with twenty
five pounds of bran. This should be at
least three inches from the plants else
the poison will injure them.
A collar Of stiff, brown paper, 80
large as not to choke the plant at any
stage of growth, is a protection. II 1t
extends an inch below, and an inch
and a half above ground.
A handful OF tobacco stems, mixed
with the soil In the hill, Is destructive
to pests, and does not injure plants.
When the striped beetle appears on
the squash, cucumber and melon
vines, dust them thoroughly with land
plaster, and repeat after each rain, an
Ioon as they appear.
When the radishes are affected with
wire worms, the second planting
should be made in an uninfested soil.
