corporaIs Day Of Triumph.

At the battle of Opequon Creek,
where General Sheridan had formed
his line along the north bank of the
creek in front of Vermont regiment,
there was quite deep gully. The
banks were thick with blackberry
bushes and the men had a hard time
getting over through the bushes. AS
they came out they found a long line
of breastworks In front of them.
They were ordered to lie down. Soon
as the boys had got through a big Irish
corporal, that had been called a cow
ard in his company, jumped up and
hollered az the top of his voice: you
towards, get up and fight like men
follow me-"
He started on the run up the hill
with the whole regiment after him and
over the breastworks they went, with
the Irish corporal at the head.
This was the beginning of the vic
tory of General Sheridan over General
Early. No one ever called the Irish
corporal coward after that.

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.

what you need.

HOW TO BREAK BRooDY FOWL
Confine Hen in Small Coop With Slat
Bottom and Give Her Plenty of
Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and it is
not desired 20 allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be "brol1en up
as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break hen of broodiness
she should be confined to small coop,
preferably with Stat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found in the time
required to break her of broodiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days of cOnfine-
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
ton to stay on the nest at night, the
ruflling of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes.

is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive, houses in
the South than in the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prin-
cipally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, 81 that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy low pocket or hol-
low in which cold air settles, and it
should be situated for convenience in
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial if there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in a different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any well-drained soil. A light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while very
light sandy soil through which the wa

They made better time on the west
ern slope, but the journey became
matter Of sheer endurance. Food was
scanty-four and salt and tea; with
meat and fish got by the way. And
the black flies and mosquitoes
swarmed about them maddeningly day
and night.
So they came at last to the Skeena,
and Hazels heart misgave her when
she took note Of It's swirling reaches,
the sinuous eddies-a deep. swift,
