g Civil War Stories 8 A Con federate Veteran's Story. There had been going on during the 21th of March, ISO 1. a harmless cannonade by Edgar's Texas battery, placed in position at Henderson hill, four miles west of lied river, to resist Banks' advance. A shell from this battery had iiilled a mounted infantryman under a persimmon tree, yet standing. More importance was given the position as to strengthen than It merited. That night a freed:r-n, Tom Runnels, piloted a regiment so that a surprise was made on the small force of confederate soldiers, 2ÖO in number, holding what the federals thought a fortified position. A clay, gravelly hill was the fortification. About 1 a. m. the spiteful pop of muslicts was heard In front of the house temporarily occupied by confederate officers of the Second Louisiana Cavalry, Taylor's command, and tho owners of the dwelling. Col. Vincent, In command of cavalry and battery named above, made his escape from under imizzle of a federal colonel's pistol, who humanely declined to shoot Vincent in the house, among a lot of terrified women and children. An old rb?l darky had promised to aid Vlnceut if occasion required, and that night i-laced his horse in a position whereby the rebel colonel made good Iiis escape. Vincent lives yet. and I hope the gallant federal colonel is alive and will let mo hear from him. The attacking party intule a c'.nplct? urprise of the place and wore among the sleeping batterymcn without getting a scratch. Rig. bnrly Ilarroll. sergeant of one of the gun.:, sprang to his piece and endeavored to discharge Its load of canister among the advancing foot. Tho .-olonel of the federal force promptly shot him in tho arm, rendering It useless for many months afterward. lie tried to finish the undone work with his left and found the pistol barrel ngaiust his temple. "Lot go your hold, bless you'." said the Yank, and the burly sergeant promptly obeyed. The baffled reb vented his Impotent wrath rm his federal captors but was made to "hit the grit" with the balaace of us. "I should have sent many a one of you blessed Yank3 into hades In another second or two more but for my crippled arm." said Harrell ; and it is highly probably, for "feds" were thick and discharge of grape and canister rovu-t hare wrought great destruction. Xearby was a sleeping reb maybe rlreamlng of home and peace. A deafening roar near his head and a quart f dirt and gravel In his upturned face made him realize that war still raged. Our friend got onto all fours and leaped from the hill Into outer darkness, brambles and briers. lie was unhurt but probably got the worst scare :f lis life. "Itch" was your scribe and went with his captors and four ndlos away ppeut the'renialndor of the eventful nicht. A gun coat proved a good disguise and without trouble a cup of "Yankee colTee, as rebs cnld it here, was procured from a comrade In blue. Hardtack was offered. but not much liked by rebs, who werebetter used to corn dodgers. - Returning to where the rebs were corralled the guard halted me and suggested that I had bette s'fay where I belonged, taking me for a Yank. At sight of my gray jacket he hesitated no longer but ordered Johnny Reb home immediately. Early next morning I saw n mounted Infantryman riding Dick, my war horse. I hated to part with horse, new saddle and bridle, private property all of them, but such was war. My gloves, a sweetheart's gift, were returned on demand, after I satisfied the generous, manly trooper where I had lost them. I'think our captors were the Thirty-ninth Illinois regiment. Winning; Ills Xante. No doubt many persons have wondered where and how Admiral Evans got his name of "Fighting Bob." It is a name that Is In thorough accord with the admiral's rugged face, every line of which denotes the power and purposs of the soul within. "Fighting Rob" Evans he Is called by the ieop!e In the same tones of affection and admiration with which they speak of President Roosevelt as "Teddy;" and it Is probable that in this aspect the layman will like best to lingerhigly consider him this sailor chieftain with the homely, seamed square-lined countenance that would serve Rodin, the sculptor of ruggedness, perfectly for the model of a fighting face. It must not be thouzht that this'popi.lar name came to Evans out of any banquet hall oration, nor. In the least, has he ever bid for the tinsel glory of being a newspaper-made hero. It was given him before he could raise a mustache in fact, before he could raise even the mere wJsp of a mustache. Out of his modestly worded book, "A Sailor's Log," is best to be found the origin of the nickname for courage and aggressiveness that he bears. Seventeen years old and an active ensign, he was n, member of the naval brigade that assisted the Union army in the land attack on Fort Fisher. Little Evans had led his men to within 3fXi yards of intrenched Confederates. "At this moment," he says, "I saw Col. Lamb, the Confederate comander, gallantly standing out on the parapet and calling to his men to get np and shoot the Yankees. I considered him within revolver range, so took a deliberate shot at him. As I fired a bullet ripped through tho front of my coat across my breast, turning me completely around I felt a burning sensation like a hot Iron over my heart and saw something red coming out or a hole in my coat. I knew, of course, that if a bullet had gone through this portion of my body, I was done for; but this was no place to stop, so I went on ahead of my company. I was aware that one particular sharpshooter was shooting at me, and when, v.e were a hundred yards away he hit me In the left leg. The force of the blow was so great I landed on my face on the sand. I got n silk handkerchief out and soon stopped the blood and again went to the front as fast as I could. My left leg seemed asleep, but I was able to use it. I managed to get through the stockade with seven others when my sharpshooter friend sent n bullet through my right knee. I tried to stand up but It was no use, ray legs would not hold me. My sharpshooter friend continued shooting at me. At the fifth shot, I tfiink It was, he hit me again, taking off the end of one of my toes, tearing off the sole of my shoe and wrenching my ankle dreadfully. For some reason, I don't know why, his shot made me unreasonably angry; and, rolling over in the sand so as to face my antagonist, I addressed a few 1

brief remarks to him, and th?n. Just ns some one handed him a freshly loaded musket, I fired, aiming at his breast. He staggered around, finally pitched oer the vrapct and rolled down near tnc, whore he lay dead." With four wounds in his body, prone and helpless, young Evans was exposed to a bitter fire for more thau five hours. Three men who tried to rescue him were shot dead in his sight. Rut when night came two sailors found nim and carried him bak to his ship That was when and where he began to be called "Fighting Bob."

DnnKerouly Near Conspiracy. "Sherman was not exactly careless as to his dress, but unconventional He always comes up in my mind's eye in contrast with the gocd dressers of the army, like McClellan ami Fitzjohn Porter and scores of others who in dress and bearing were the ideal soldiers. Strangely enough, these good dressers of punctilious habit were more often engaged In controversy than any others. My sympathies were with Porter in his famous controversy with Pope, and I think most men who met him personnlIy were on his side of the case. The splendid physique and fine eyes, the masterful poise of the man and his insistent courtesy won men to his way of thinking. "My loyalty to him rc-coired n hard blow on one occasion, and I have never been able to get away from the Impression that a few honestly spoken sentences left upon my mind. In the early days of the Tope campaign in Virginia a warm friend of mine, a general officer, by. the way, who was as tall as Porter, as winning in hi- mauner and ns masterful In his bearing, was returning from Washington to his own command in the field. Ho stopped at Porter's headquarters for a short time, heard the conversation among the officers coming and going, and without making himself known as Porter was absent he took the train for the DP.xt station. There were probably twenty officers of various grades on the train. One of these came to the seat occupied by my friend and sat down by his side. "He opened a conversation at once, as If well acquainted and proceeded to say that if the general did not Interfere end certain plans which had been discussed were carried out. General Tope could be put in a hole In two minutes It became apparent to my friend that the officer thought he was speaking to General Torter. The conversation was of the most confidential character and it revealed enough to show that there wp.s intrigue against General Pope; that there was among Porter's officers a disposition to let Pope save himself. As soon as ho divined that the officer was talking to him In the belief that he was General Porter, my friend turned and said, 'I beg your pardon, but I am not GencTit Porter.' The officer gave him a sharp look, stood on his feet, made a stiff salute and walked away. "My friend tcld me this story, not tc cool my ardor, not to prejudice nu against Fitzjohn Porter, but to show me that among Porter's Intimates there was resentment against IVe and a disposition not to help him by earnest cooperation. My frlei' 1 carried the secret to his grave. During his lifo he never entered into the controversy on one side or the other, but he felt to tho last that some of the best officers In the army of the Potomac were dangerously near a conspiracy to rrevent the success of General Pope in the field." Chicago Inter Ocean. A. SLUM OF CANTON. Where the Many Poor of n Great Chinese City Live. Stand beside the imperial custom house at Canton and let the eye range down the river toward Hong Kong. As far as the sight can reach lie boats. boats and again loats. These are no ordinary craft, mere vessels of transport plying hither and thither, but the countless homes of myriad Chinese, In which millions have been born, have lived and died. They are the dwellings of the very poor, who live In them practically free from rent, taxes and other burdens of the ordinary citizen. The taukla (which means boat dwellers), as the denizens of these float lug houses are called, form a sort of caste apart from the rest of thCantonese. The shore dwellers regard them as lelong:ng to a lower soclu order, and Indeed they have many customs peculhir to themselves which mark them as a separate community. How the swarming masses of them contrive to support existence, Is a mystery, but their chief mode of employment Is In carrying merchandise and passengers from place to place. In some cases the daughters of the family go ashore to work in factories, as do the girls of other countries; but the year's earnings of a Chinese factory girl would scarce suffice to buy a single hat for her western sister. Of course as against this low rate of pay the standard of living Is correspondingly different. The houses which make up these vast floating slums are of all sizes. Some are but fifteen feet long. From these cramped dimensions, however, they range up to a length of fifty or sixty feet. A boat large enough "to accommodate a family of moderate size can be obtained for ?-0, and since the anchorage Is free It Is obvious that the taukla effect many savings Impossible to the shore dweller.

They give twice as much power for the same quantity of fuel. The production of lead In this country last year was 414,18. tons of 2,000 pounds each, as compared with 401.W.) tfpr.s for the year before. Italians of the poorer class generally enjoy good health. This Is partly attributed to the fact that the working clacv.es of Italy eat less meat than thost of other European nations. Estimates of the extent of the coal deposits recently discovered along the line of the trans-Baikal railway, have placed the amount of fuel available at nearly IC.000,000 short tons.

The United States, it is estimated, has 201,704,021 apple trees and 17,71G.1S1 pear trees. It Is not always the man who gets into the field first In the morning wlro raises the best crops. The man who refuses to mix with his neighbor and flocks all by himself has mighty poor company. Being a good neighbor means a great deal more than merely keeping our share of the line fence. A steady pull of ten hours counts more than a spurt before breakfast end an afternoon's rest at the old Sshln hole.

Good secordgTowth clovor is a great feed for the lambs. The heaviest fleeces are generally found on medium-sized sheep. For a number of years following the introduction of the culture of sugar beets in this country in 1587 the industry was at a standstill. By 1803 the production of beet sugar had i cached 22,3 14 short tons. In 1001 it was 1S1.G0C, while last year th? total output was r.00.000 short tons. The increase noted Is due chiclly to the extending ofathe culture of the sugar beets In the Irrigation sections of the West rather than to its adoption in sections where there Is sufficient rainfall to produce the ordinary tilled farm crops. ucees of the Corn Show. The Chamber of Commerce, the business men of Springfield, the exhibitors, the newspaiK.rs and the people who jiave patrouized the exposition, have all been sowing corn show seed. They have visited the Illinois Com Exposition which closed last night, seen the glorious exhibits, realized the value of the show as an entertainer and educator, and are sowing the seed of indorsement right and left. Now let's see that ihe Holds are well cultivated, the growing plant of future corn show enterprise properly nurtured nnd a magnificent crop reaped in the form of still better and greater corn show in 1009 than the brilliant show of the present year, the magnitude and success of which were sufficient to warrant making the Illinois Com Show a permanent institution in Springfield. Springfield Register. Fife Wheat. Each wheat has its own life history and romance. Take Fife wheats, which were tho foundation of many varieties in spring wheats up to tho Introduction of Durum wheat. Years ago, nearly a century ago, Duvid Fife, a Scotchman of Otouabee, Ont., sent to a friend in Glasgow for a small bag of seed wheat to try in a cleared patch of the backwoods. The friend obtainod some seed from a vessel Just In from Dantzic. Unfortunately, It was a fall wheat and reached David Fife in the spring. Nevertheless, Pavid rife sowed it in the spring. One can guess how feverishly the backwoods farmer watched for the growth of his experiment. Only three wheat heads survived till the fall; but those three wheat heads were entirely free of the rust that had ruined his neighbors' crops; and those three heads really represented a new variety of wheat, a fall w-hcat turned Into a spring wheat. David Fife treasured the three heads and planted them in the spring. Such was the beginning of Fife wheat in America. It Is thought It must have come originally from Russia; for, crossed with Russian Lagoda by Dr. Saunders of Ottawa, it has produced a wheat splendidly adapted for the cold climate and long summer sunlight of the northwest. Decrease In Apple Production. To show the decreases In .he production of apples in the Union In the last twelve years, these statistics, compiled by the Federal Department of Agriculture, are quoted: Growers produced 00.010,000 barrels in 1S0Ö, and 00,070,000 barrels in ISM, the banner year In the history of the country. There was a decrease of nearly 28,000,000 barrels, or more than the entire crop of 1S07, when the yield amounted to 41,530,000. Another decrease followed in 1S08. the yield being placed at 28.570.000 barrels, but In 1S.V. and 1000 there were substantial increases, placed at 37,500,000 and 47.0;o,000 barrels, respectively. There was a drop of 20,800,000 barrels in 1001. while In 10O2 there was an Increase of 20.053.000 barrels, the crop bolnr estimated at 47,025,000 barrels. Forty-live million barrels of fruit produced In 1003, and In 1904 the yield wa r.C'0,000 barrels greater. Then, in 105, it dropped to 23,500,000 barrels, and In 100 it increased to 30,130,000 barrels. The crop of 1007 fell off to L5,000,(0i barrels, which Is the estimated yield for 190S. The total yield for the thirteen years amounts to 550,701,000 batreis or 1 ,C79,2S3,000 bushels. fleef Produced on Grns and AlfalfM. Prof. Herbert W. Mum ford of the University of Illinois, who has spuit half of this year investigating cattle conditions In Argentina, South America , recently showed to a farmer and student audience at the College of Agriculture a very interesting series of photographs which he took In that country, and gave the following, among other Items, showing conditions In strong contrast to our own and throwing clear light on the character of Argentina competition: The past three years Argentina has been exporting considerably more leef to Great Britain than have the United States, and the Argentina beef can be delivered In London as cheaply as that from Chicago. The best sires have been secured without regard to price, $10,000 and $15,000 being paid many times, nnd one animal was found which had cost $21,000. But he best bull seen on rhls trip was bred In Argentina. Tho shorthorns ra the most numerous The cat-

tie country is dose to the great river system which furnishes much of the transportation, and lies principally Im- . mediately west of Buenos Ayres. j As fiiie herds of cattle ns you ever J saw are produced In Argentina without j a moutntul or grain, simply on grass and alfalfa, and these cattle were never in a stable. Breeding cattle In extra fine flesh were seen on alfalfa pasture one cow in particular showed actual rolls of fat oa her rump, and yet sh had never tasted anything else than alfalla from her birth. Grass-fed mutton has gone to London market too fat to sell. One ranch or estancia visited contained 100,000 acres and had on it lS.oCO cattle, 10,000 sheen and 2.000 horses. Most of the cattle country is flat and level. No Mud for Hogs. There are some farmers who are Impressed with the belief that hogs do not require mud wallows In summer and then there are others who declare that a hog that does not -have aeoess to a mud hole cannot thrive. Thjre is no doubt that a hog is a "hog" iu his habits largely because he does not have a chance to be decent. IIo needs a great deal of water in hot weather, and if he cannot get It he will take mud as the next best thir,g. A hog rushes to a mud hole to cool off. He comes out and the mud dries on his skin. The ne;rt mud bath he takes adds another layer to that already dried ui and in a short time the pures of his skin are completely clogged up with mud. Now, a hog cannot thrive with his pores all closed any better than a man. A dirty man Is never a perfectly healthy man nor a dirty hog a perfectly healthy animal. If a hog has access to a deep pool of water, as he should In hot weather, he wfjl keep clean and thrive much more than if he lies around In a mud hole mule filthy by long continued use. Most farmers who supply a bathing place fr their hogs make. them so shallow tint they are soon converted into mud h des. On car home farm we usually kept from t.irty to fifty pigs and they had a pool ftf water fed by a stream, and it w!ts dtvp enough for them to swim in. The slües were dug down sharply and were Itdd with cobblestones for distance of four or five feet from the water's eCge. The pool was always reasonably clean; we never had trouble with u ange or lice, and when ou two occasions cholera swept through the countrj our hogs were not affected. The begs never uod the pool unless the weather was extremely hot. We do not believe in the mud Idea for hogs oi filth of any kind for other animals. J. B. Miller. ClOlE TOR SNAKE BITE. Hot UsurUnian Treated n Wound Vhii Far from a Settlement. R.ttea by a rattlesnake In the calf of the right leg in the Santa Ana .Mountains last Saturday, John Mo Cornick, a rancher of Grapelaud, saved his lift by making an Incision with his pocket knife and inserting a piece of the rentile's flesh Iii the wound, .says the Lcs Angeles Times. He bandaged It tightly and walked seven hours before te could receive medical treatment. Dr. Summer J. Quint was called from Los Angeles to attend McCornlc. When he arrived he found that hs patient was suffering from a slight poisoning. He declares that MeCor.ilck saved his life by his own treatment. M-Cjrniek was hunting through scrub rak when he felt a peculiar sting in his leg. He looked down and saw the snake dragging on the ground asbe walked. Its fangs had become fastened !n his leggings and It was unable to withdraw them. With the butt of his gun McCoruick knock d the snake off and theu crushed its head with his heel. As quickly as poilble he ran Into the open and carried the snake with him. When he bared his leg he squeezed all the blood be could out of the two punctures which the fangs had made. Then he opened a gash, cutting though the two wound and letting out the blood and poison. He cut a piece of tlesh out of Hie snake's ba :k and inserted it in the wound. McCornlck used his handkerchief for bandages and then tied his leg ailu Just above the knee to stop the poison from working through his system. McCornlck was miles away from any settlement where he could secure medical attention, so he started back to Grapelaud. Ills leg pulsated with pain and he soon became deathly sick. In his weakened condition he was compiled to rest on the road time and again. When he finally reached home he was almost exhausted and his leg was dreadfully swollen and almost blackT " McCornlck says that his treatment was famous amorg the Indians for snake bites and he has known of a number of. instances where its application bus saved lives.

"Asbestos Is destined to take the lead of mineral wool and mark a new era in the development of the mineral resources of the United States," said E. A. Ximiun of Wyoming to a Washington Herald reporter. Mr. Nimiun lives In Natrona county, Wyoming, where the largest asbestos vein in North America was recently discovered "It may not be generally known," continued Mr. Nlnalun, "but it is true that asbestos is a mineral that comes out of the ground. The entire supply of the United States has until recently been furnished by Canada. "The discovery of this large vein in Gaspar mountain has caused considerable excitement in that vicinity. Its existence has been known for a long time, but it had never been known to exist In such large quantities. "Unlike other minerals, asbestos is quarried rather than mined in the reg ular way. The market value of the product ranges from $50 to S500 ier ton. New uses for it are discovered every day. "The demand is fast becoming great er than the supply. Every fireproof sky scraper has within its walls and its flooring a composition of asbestos. Ev ery electric car has asbestos somewhere within its mysterious confines.

Start the New Year Right!;

TART the new year with a clean mind and a clean body I Most people are very neat and clean in their outward appearance, but how about the inside? Are you clean Inside? And if not, how can you face the New Year ith clean thoughts, clear Intelligence, a fair, Just, and bright mind, and your full shara of capacity for work and enjoyment. a The holidays are over and everybody's had a good time perhaps a little toa much of a good time. Over-eating and overdrlnklng have been the ru!e ever since Thanksgiving Day. Many people get little exercise in winter and breathe much stuffy, over-heated inside air. - At the same time they eat tec much rich and indigestible food, while fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are scarce in the market.

Instead cf wholesome nourishment. That's what must happen. Isn't it plain as day? What's the result? Nearly everybody "gains In flesh" in the winter time, but It's pussy fat not healthy flesh and muscle.

Spider's Wonderful Silk. The astronomer after the experience 'of many years has found that the spider furnishes the only thread which can be .successfully used In carrying on his work. The spider lines mostly used are from or-fifth to one-seventh of a thousandth of nn Inch in dlametei, and, In addition to their strength and elasticity, they have the peculiar property of withstanding great changes of temperature, ' and often when measuring the sun spots, although the heat is so Intense as to crack the lenses of the micrometer eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not In the least injured. The threads of the silk worm, although of great value as a commer cial product, are so coarse and rouch i compared with the silk of the spider j mat tney can not be usea in 6ucn instrumenta. Spider lines, although but a fraction of a thousandth of an Inch In diameter, are made up of several thousands of microscopic streams of fluid, which unite und form a single line, and it is because of this that tbey remain true and round under the highest magnify lng power.
