An Aerial Shepherd.

The gallant little republic Of vene'
zuela, which may shortly come In on
the side of the allies. boasts of a re-
markable bird which can be trained to
tend fic ks. says London Tit-Bits. Not
only does the yak-a-milk, as 1t Is called.
take the place Of the sheep dog. but 1t
Is frequently used to guard the home
of its owner.
When the Indians capture a yak-a-
milk they find little difficulty In train
ing 1t to domestic use. It Is attached
to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as a faithful watchdog. A
yak-a-milk soon learns to know and
obey the voice of its master. Its usual
gait Is slOwsand sedate, but sometimes
1t will execute most eccentric move
ments, waltzlng and pirouetting In a
very absurd fashion. Instances are re-
corded where these strange birds have
defended their charges from attacks
of wild and savage animals, and even
driven them of.

For this duty there were assigned the
troops Of Pickett's fresh and splendid
Virginia division. which constituted
part Of Longstreet's corps. Long.
street himself never believed this
charge could have a chance of sue
cess. Between him and Lee there was
ever afterward bitterness. But as for
the charge itself, 1t was most gallant
ly delivered. 1t almost won.
Meade began the fighting on the
third day by aiming a heavy counter
offensive ut Culp's hill. which after
four hours Of fighting was retaken
from the Confederates. This, how.
ever, did not deter Lee from following
his original plan. He was determined
that Pickett should make his grand rs
sault. In preparation. Alexander, the
Confederate chief Of artillery. opened
with n long line of seventy-five
guns. while sixty-ive Of Hills guns
came into action on the left. Against
these the Federals, cramped for space,
could oppose but seventy-fve. and the
fire Of these vas soon stopped that
they might be held to meet the infan-
try attack.
Longstreet, still certain the result
could be only failure. could not bring
himself to order the advance, but
shortly before two in the afternoon
Pickett himself asked and obtained
permission to 60 forward.
There followed one of the most des-
perate charges in history, beside
which, when one reckons In loss OF
life. such an exploit as that Of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava becomes
almost child's play. To reach the
Union line the V%lrginians had to cross
1900 yards of ground swept by terri
BILE rifle and artillery fire. All three
Of Ptckett's brigadiers went down, two
killed and one. Kemper, desperately
wounded. The Union troops, Gibbons
division and a part of the Second
corps. all under Hancock, held un'
fiinchingly. Lieutenant Gushing. COM

with one hand while with the other he
helped roll a gun into position, cry
ing out. "Give them n more shot,
Webb" The slaughter was fnghtful,
but the dauntless Virginians actually
broke Meade's first line before they
withered under the fearful fire and
abandoned by their support. fell back
Brigadier General Garnett, who had
leaped the wall with his hat on his
sword, died under a Union gun car
riage.
This ended the battle. Afterward
there was only a retreat which might
have been a rout. had the Union troops
pressed their advantage or had Lee
/ been less prompt and skillful In raj
lying his men. The COnfederates lost

charged $500 strong. 1893 were left
on the field. Meade's losses were %,
600 out of $4,000, but the C~Onfederacy
had attained Its greatest success and
had seen that success wane into hope
less failure.
