"0LD ABE, WAR EAGLE,
LED MANY A BATTLE
Carried Into Numerous engagements
In Civil War BY the 9th
Visions n.

This is the true story Of "Old Abe"
the live war eagle which went with
the Eighth Wisconsin regiment into
the War Of the Rebellion.
One day an old Chippewa Indian,
Chief Sky, found balJ headed eagles
nest in the top Of a pine tree He
climb d the tree and although he was
attacked by the parent bird, who
screamed and fought fiercely with tai
ons and beak he finally succeeded in
capturing two Of the 1edglings which
were about the size Of pra rie chick
en-
one OF the birds died. the other he
sold for bushel of corn TO a man
named Daniel Mccain, who carried it
to Eau Claire, Wis and gave it TO the
company being organized there as
part of the Eighth regiment for a
mescot.
The men Of the company called the
eagle the new recruit from Chippe-
wa, tied red, white and blue RIB
hon around his neck and a rosette OF
the coiors on his breast
The eagle was carried into every
engagement rerched on shield
shaped like a heart which had a
grocyed cross piece for the eagle to
stand on. with three arrows on either
end This was a few inches above the
shield. When in line Old Abe was al.
ways carried on the LETT OF the color
bearer in the van Of the regiment.
The color bearer. wore a belt to
which was attached q socket TO he'd
the end of the flve.foot STAFF which
raised the eagle on his perch high
above the bearers head, in plain sight
Of the marching column A hemp
cord 20 feet long was fastened to
a leather strap around the eagles leg,
David Mclean, his first color bearer
said that Old Abe, like all old sol
die,s dreaded the sound OF musketry
but at the roll of the artillery appeared
to be IN his glory At every charge in
battle his eyes bla2ed, he tlaNpad his
wings and uttered piercing screams
II is a curious fact that in the %
battles and % skirm!shes in which
Old Abe was engaged, no bearer OF
either flag or eagle was ever shot
down, Once or twice he lost feathers
but was never wounded
Old Abe had his favortes among
the men. loving some, but hating
others and would never permit the
least familiarity from anyone whom
he disliked. Once or twice he escaped
but showed no disposition to desert
being always lured back by the sight
of food After three years active
service he was mustered out and Civ
en- to the state Of Wisconsin, where he
lived In honorable retirement at the
state capitol in Madison until his
death. And now you will never see
a shield with the eagle perched OF
three arrows without thinking of "olt

LIKE MORGAN HORSES.
Famous Breed Becoming Popular In
Southwest.

Famous Breed Becoming Popular In
Southwest.
Because Of its superiority in activi-
ty, hardness, and stamina, the Morgan
horse is increasing in popularity in
the Southwest where stations Of the
breed are being used to improve the
saddle horses on the range. Used on
the native light mares they produce
n useful animal that satisfies the
ranchers demands.
AT the Southwest Exposition and
Fat Stock show. held at Fort Worth,
Tex, March II to Is, this year. there
was a particularly good show of the
breed. Sixteen horses we're exhibited
and there was a strong class of aged
stations. Red Oak 5249 was the best
aged stallion and champion Morgan
This horse, sired by General Gates,
was developed at the United States
Morgan Horse farm at Middlebury,
VT, The Morgans were placed by one
Of the best known horse judges~in the
country, who described the Champion
as one OF the finest horses he had
ever seen.
AS a result Of the efforts Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture in improving the Morgan and in
stimulating a renewal Of interest in
this useful American breed, good
edmg specimens arc found in
many parts Of the country. In order
to obtain suitable remounts for tie
service the army has placed Morgan
stations in Kansas, Missouri, Mon.
tana, Nebraska, and Texas. A few
are owned privately in Illinois, Mis-
souri,, and Iowa, but the stronghold
Of the breed remains in New Eng
land, particularly in Vermont where
1t was first developed.

However there is nobody so often

Then there is the matter Of candy. II

ABILITIES THAT ARE LATENT
Few Realize to the Fullest Extent the
Intellectual Powers They Have
at Command. --'

How many times have you been
forced to undertake some piece Of
work which You did not believe you
could perform, only to find yourself
agreeably surprised at the credible
way in which you. finally accomplished
it? You discovered latent abilities
which only come to light through the
driving force of necessity. There is
no doubt we all have possibilities
which we do not suspect. All that
is needed to develop them is self con-
fidence and initiative.
, Many people never succeed because
they never try. They lack faith in
themselves. The habit of saying Il
can't" is III easy one to acquire, and
it grows stronger with time, but it
does not lead to accomplishment. 1t
does not put our faculties to work to
overcome the perpleXitics of the job
which confronts us. Many people feel
that unless they can solve some problem
easily they lackethe ability to do it at
all. They do not realize that the per-
Torrance OF anything worth While re-
Guires, much hard work and hard
thinking.
Don't allow yourself to become con-
ceited or to get into an overconfident
frame Of mind in regard to your abil-
5ity, but nevertheless do not give up
trying to achieve some goal until you
have brought every faculty into play.
If you concentrate strongly enough On
the effort you will be surprised at the
results.-Exchange.

= A blind man Call see with his nose"'
So at least, writes blind man who
has made a study of his own faculties
and those Of his companions in dark
ness.
THE sense Of smelling among the
blind" he says, grows exceedingly
sharp. and we utilize it instinctively
for our purposes, for which the nor
NAL man naturally uses his eyes. The
smell, IN particular, helps us in Gre
ating sense of locality, and enables
us, in a region in which we are at
home, to find the way as easily and
surely as If we could see the world
around us with our eyes. It is rela-
lively easy for the nose, as there are
not two streets that have the same
odor.Fr&7 w. ~
mot only has each street its par
ticular odor, but also the various parts
Of the same street: nay, each house
has its characteristic smell, and the
blind man knows'in n street through
which he often comes where he is.
For the recognition of human beings
the sense Of. smell Is likewise invalu-
able. Besides the special smells Of
cigars or perfumes, there are many
delicate scents by which he can rec
ognize men. Every material of cloth
ing has definite odor, and with
little experience the blind man can
see with his nose whether one wears
wool, silk or velvet" +

Liquid Air to Crack Hard Nuts.

The chicba nuts from South Amer.
lea have some excellent qualities, but
it has never been found possible to
crack the shells without damaging the
meat at the same time. United States
government authorities applied liquid
air to the problem. They did not
freeze solid piece Of rubber and use
it as u hammer, as is done in the
classic experiment in physics, but they
simply immersed the nuts in liquid air
for 80 seconds and cracked them easily
without damage to the kernels. Now
the physicists are trying to find out
whether, this method can be applied
commercially on large scale. Chicha
nuts were used during the war to
make charcoal, for gas masks and the
oil from the Kernels is valuable food
similar to copra.

Points Of the Moon,

The points" or ends Of the crescent
moon always point away from the sun.
When the moon is new the setting
sun, or sun recently set is on the
west Of it. which sends the points to
the east, AS the sun sinks farther
below the horizon the points OF the
crescent moon point more in an up
ward direction; for the convex part
of the crescent must always be
toward the sun. When the moon is
waning the sun is on the east of it,
which, Of course, sends the points
toward the west. The moon is always
sphere; the crescent is merely that
part Of its illuminated side which
we are In a position to see.

None of the Apple Goes to Waste.

The thoroughness with which the
apple is now worked over and utilized
by some manufacturers makes it conf
parable with the clearinghouse pig
that leaves only a futile squeaI. In
many of the apple-using factories the
apples are first pressed to produce
cider, which may be sold as such or
may be manufactured into vinegar.
After thorough pressing the pomace
is treated with hot water to remove
the pectin, which, after publication, is
sold in either liquid or solid form to
manufacturers Of jellies and similar
products and to housewives. The much
wasted and squeezed residue is dried,
ground and sold as cattle food.-De.
