ELDERLY PEOPLE HELPED FREE The last years of life are the sweetest, and yet the most difficult to prolong. It is then that the Kröntest care Is exercised in maintaining bodily tealth. But the chief care should always be with regard to the food yon eat and whether you are digesting it properly. You should not allow yourself to become constipated. No doubt you have tried salts and cathartic pills, purgative tablets, etc.. and have coir to the conclusion that they are violent in action and do but temporary good. Listen, then, to the voice of experience with regard to a wonderful and mild laxative. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Fepsin. It is not new, nly we are trying to find new friends for it. A. A. Felts, of Johnston City, III., suffered from stomach trouble for six year and found his cure la Dr. Caldwell's Syruj Pepsin. His wife uses it too with success. We could name hundreds of others. Some heard of it first through neighbors or friends: others through the doctor's ffer to send any sufferer from a stomach, liver or bevel complaint a free sample fcottle for trial, -without charge. If you will send your name and adlress t.t will end you a trial Lottie direct to your home. If it proves itself as he claims then continue the treatment by buying a 50-cent r $1 hottje of your druggist, as all f tfcem pell it. Old people, like children, should look for purity, and it is well tr mention that the, purity of this remedy Is Touched for with tbe U. S. povernment. Also, though a free bottle is Fent to prove Its merits, rs;ilts are always guaranteed from the regular bottles bought of drujrfrists, who will refund your mony If it does rot satisiy you.

ttV My First Battle. First Speaker I say. Bill, I w ish we could get into a fijrht with the Johnnies. I nm skk of this inactivity this eternal camp life, cleaning up, fxuard mounting, and dress parad This will never pur down the rebellion. "hat a farce, this going on picket duly when there is not a reh within a hundred miles. It's enough to drivo one distracted. No wnnrler our hospitals are filling up with sick men. All that alls them is homesickness, caused by having nothing else to think about. My God. I want to "up and at 'em.' Second Speaker Hfre. too; so do I. I'll bet we could whip h 1 out of twice our number and make them hunt their holes. Third Speaker Oh. yes; you fellows can talk big nor,-, while we are at a safe distance; but by the time we are at close quarters with them, their bayonets clashing with ours, and the balls flying about your head so thick you would think a whole swarm of bees were ping to light on you, as it was when our old Seventh was cut up so bad at Winchester. I'll Let you'll sing a different tune, and wish you were anywhere but there. You would be the ones to hunt for a hole, and it would not be a very big one that would hold you. either. I've heard big talk before, and the ones who did the loudest talking were the ones to he the last at the front, if they ever got there, and the first to the rear. Tor my part, I am perfectly satisfied to stay here ar.d d camp duty sis long as It is necessary. I've had enough fighting to do me the balance of my days. Such was the common talk while we were lying in c;unp at Tullahotra, in 1SI54. Our regiment (One Hundred and Seventy-seventh Ohio) and the One Hundred and Kighty-eighth Ohio, with a battery of regulars, were guarding the railroad between MurfreesNoro and Chattanooga. Tiut the grumblers as well .is all others, were soon to have a chance to "up and at etn." or. rather, up and away from them, and we were not slow in our manner of doing it. either. Our old scout came into camp one morning and reported General Hood's whole army two days inarch south of us, moving toward Nashville, and that he was picking up all our small detachments along the railroad as he came north. There was plenty of life and activity in our camp that day for all able-bodied men. Ditches were dug. breastworks thrown up.and everything dor.e to make our jtosition as strong as possible, even to digsing a trench through the burying ground, where the dead had been buried at the previous battle fought when General Pragg made a stand on his retreat from Tennessee. The dead and the living were In the trench together, perhaps to participate in another fight. After all these preparations, our commander ff ten era .Milroy), deeming it not prudent to risk a battle, ordered a retreat to Murfreoshoro, where he could join forces with Ceneral Rousseau, and a lively race we had for two days. We -iad important business there, and had no xise for Forrest's Confederate Cavalry, who tried in vain to get on speaking terms with us. . I never saw a more ambitious set of men In my life. In fact we had b "get there. Eli." And we dtd not I ?t our ambition cool until we were safe under the guns of Fort Koecr:es. It was then that our old Seventh comrade "remarked: "Well, itoys. we gavethem h 1. didn't we? I never saw old soldiers more anxious to move or show more zeal, than you. Oh. yes. but then if Old Milroy hadn't got scared we'd have smashed them." I am satisfied that our boys who were so anxious for a fight had their ardor somewhat cooled off during the retreat, and would have been perfectly satisfied to never have seen a Johnny; but such was not to be, as the sequel will prove. Our two Ohio regiments went Info Kimp a little northeast of the fort, and the One Hundred and Klghty-eighth was ordered out as skirmishers Immediately in our front, on open ground. The Confederates had a line of riflepits which they were occupying. A casual firing was kept up for the most of one day, with only one man killed on our side. He, not satisfied with lying down and firing, after making Feveral shots at one of the enemy who was firing at him. stood up and advanced several steps and fired. His adversary also did the same, and they became the objects for all beholders. The firing from all other sources nearly ceased, oxh skirmish lines watching these two. They fired several shots each without effect, when our man was heard to exclaim. "There! I hit him!" We looked, and saw a puff of smoke curling from the Confederate's gun, while at the same instant he. was soon to throw up his hands and fall back Into the pit. At the Mine time, our man, who had only just spoken, as above noted, fell back shot through the head. I'oth men fell at the same instant. Immediately after this I saw a body Df cavalry moving up a hill on our left, that we raw recruits suposed wer our own men, as they carried the stars and stripes, but who proved to be rebels, and part of Forrest's Cavalry. A cluster of officers rode out in advance and stopped, and were evidently takin? a view of us, when a shell from Fort Itosecrans came screeching over our head.. It must have disturbed the group of officers, for they hastily disappeared in the woods. We were then ordered into the fort, from which we could see we were completely surrounded by the enemy. We were penned up there for two or three weeks on short rations. In order to make it appear that we had more men than we had. we were made to show ourselves oil one side of the fort, then duck our head, run to the next side, and so on until we had made the rounds. A prisoner whom we afterward captured s;iid they estimated our force at 40,M' (it was but lO.fxin). We had been reduced to a pint of meal and a little molasses, and our chances looked desperate, when ( Jenera 1 Milroy asked permission to make a dash out. for the purpose of foraging some, which was granted. We went 3ut Imh) strong, with one lottery, moving west from the fort, thence north behind a hill and in the wo ids. then moved in line of battle up the hiil toward the east, where we found the enemy in line facing us behind a stone

wall, and not rail breastworks as given in history. Our regiment was ordered to lie dwn while the two-sun battery went to tlie fro.r. and tried to rout them. While the lattery was hotly engagsHl, our major tCJrciger) rode his horse along in front of our line, encouraging us and said: "Never mind it dish ish noddings we can dodge dese, l.'.it ven dem eo( lo tings go zip. zip. den look oud !" The result of the cannonading was one battery-man killed and one of our boys hit in the foot. Nothing c.iuid be effected here, so we were marched to the rear, down the hill to the level, open ground, and out toward the fort, and as we still believe, that was the intention; but when we got in good range of their two guns a shell came bounding along the ground and passed near General Milroy's horse. The general turned in his saddle and said: "Py . I'll whip them if it takes the last man." The order was given. "F.y the left flank, charge!" and then was the time that I could feel my hair prick and my cap rise on my bead. I thought of home and friends, and I verily believe if there had been a hole In the ground large enough to hold rne. I would not have been able to resist it. but would have had business with it immediately. When men say they are not afraid or scared, I don't believe it. I am satisfied it is only pride that keeps them at the front. Our regiment was on the right, and our company (R) was out as skirmishers. We had to force our way through a cedar thicket, where the rebels had cut the trees part of the way through, about breast high, and then broke the tops over. It was slow getting through, and we were under a deadly fire (for an age, it seemed to us) only a few minutes, say eye witnesses who were standing on the works at the fort. We drove the enemy about a mile, captured two guns, killed thirty men, wounded 17."i. and captured 207. Our own losses I never knew, but. as the brush was a protection to us, they must have been light I think about l."i! killed and wounded, r.nd one major killed.

"Donlile Slow." A soldier in Company I, Twentyfourth Massachusetts Infantry Volunteers, quite a wag in his way, was once put into the regimental guardhouse for some trivial offense, writes Philip T. Creely in the Veteran's Advocate. The reader will remember. If he served his namtry during the war. how such offenders were degraded and punished by being forced to perform police duty about campvnnd other menial work, and how cheerfully and willingly they fell in for this service. The Company I man was no exception, as will appear by the following: He was honored one morning by being placed In command of the s-piad that was to sweep the company streets, and as they were to manh by regimental headquarters, he resolved to show Colonel Francis A. Osburn ami ids associates with what alacrity and fidelity they were about to enter upon their duties. So Just before reaching the Colonel's tent he halted his squad and called them to attention. He cautioned them to remember that they were soldiers; told them to "brace up," as they were about to pass in review; gave the order, "right shoulder shift," and then, in a loud voice, "iorward. march." As the imposing procession neared the colonel's headquarters, the command Mas given, "shoulder arms." at which all the brooms were brought down with the regularity of clock work. By this time it had become noised about that something unusual was going on. and men ran from all direc: tions to see the fun. The field and staff of the regiment stood in fron, of their tents, and quite a number of staff ofcers from brigade and division headquarters happened to be present. Just as all were wondering what was coming next, the commander of the broom brigade brought matters to a climax by crying out at the top of his voice, "double clow, march!" and this last order, amid rcreams of laughter, was strictly obeyed. Family I.ikeneni, rhiring the Civil War Col. E. .7. Sherman visited Washington, and called upon his distinguished kinsman, (Jen. Wiiliam T. Sherman. In "Some Recollections of a Ixng Life" he describes the visit: ' 1 I sent in my card, and when I entered his room, he said: "Well, Mr. Sherman, are we related?" I answered, "Yes. general, but not near enough to cause you any special uneasiness." I explained to him just what the relationship was; that we belonged to the same "Sherman family"; that we separated four generations back from him. "Well," said the general, "we Shermans all look alike." After a little another card came In. The general remarked that probably the gentleman had never seen him, and asked me to take his chair, which I did, we both being in civilian dress. As the gentleman approached. I rose and offend him my hand, and as he t. ok it he said to me: "I should know you, general, from your pictures." I replied, "I cannot claim to be (Jeiieral Sherman. I am only a colonel. This," turning to the general, "is (Jeneral Sherman. "Well." said the general. "I had just remarked to Colonel Sherman that we Shermans all looked alike." Worth Heading.

With hogs especially care should be taken to feed according to age, condition and time of marketing. In hog growing the chief aim is to ffceure the greatest amount of pork value with the least cost of feed. Get the lambs to eating grain as foon as possible. They should have the grain diet ten weeks bef.TO weaning. Feed the colts bone and niuscleformlng foods In suffieieut quantity: never let them go backward or stand tili. A mighty three to test out your herd. Start In this spring. Scales, a tally-sheet and a Rabcock tester are what you need. A healthy sheep will have a bright, clear, pink skin, differing in shades according to the color if the face. A large, open nostril shows goed breedinc capacity. Scientific butchers claim that the less pain or excitement in killing hogs the better the meat, and that when butchering pi should be shot with a rifle or stunned with a light sledge. Thick sour skim milk seems to have a greater value for hens than sweet milk. This may be due to the milk sugar not being digested and assimilated by fowls, or, possibly, the lactic add which is present in sour milk may Lave an esieeially lenefie!al effect. If farmers could grasp the great market demands for good horses and the high prices prevailing ad over the world they would n only increase their horse breeding, but would more vigorously improve the qualify for more big heavy drafts and handsome carriage horses. Let quiet prevail in the stable at milking time. Don't get the cow to stand over by giving her a kick or a jab with your fist. Flace your hand on her flanks and tell her to get over in a kindly voice. Unless she is spoiled by brutality she will do it and do it wllll-.gly, for she wants to get rid of the Liiik in her udder as badly as you want to get it. Millet is good for the laying hens, r.eans are equally beneficial. Sorghum and broom corn seeds will do to add variety to the bill of fare. Barley Is about of the same merit. Popcorn contains more nitrogen and phospluares than does the regular Indian corn. Ruckwheat is an egg-producing Tood. but must be fed sparingly, as it is overfatteiiing. Every little dairy is a part of an en-r-.ius industry whose aggregate in the United States represents an invested capital of $l.ri00,0i)0.!00. and the coui'iiercial value of whose products, including the skim-milk, aggregates another $l.r(XKK.(00. The figures can beat Ik understood when we know that the latter sum represents over four tliius the combined value of the annual product in the Cntted States of gold and silver bullion, pig iron ami wool. Fed fur Er Yield. There is nothing that will increase the egg yield like fresh cut green boiuv It should, however, be fed judiciously, as it is highly nutritious, und a little goes a good way, but as a upi-leivient to the regular daily grain ration Is sure of bringing good results. It should le fed in about the proportion of one to one and a half ounces per bead three times a week. It is advisable to begin on even a sinaller nmomt than one ounce to each fowl rn tl.c start and gradually Increase to the maximum amount. Urnt Vnrietlea of Potatoes. Of I he ill varieties of potatoes tested at the Ontario Agricultural College the following varieties are among the best v;hen yield, size, freedom from rot and quality are considered: Late Empire State, Dempscy Seedling, Rural New l'orker No. 2. Medium Rose of the North, IWirpco's Extra Early. Early -Early Fortune, Early Harvest. Extra Early Eureka and Early Dawn. The results of planting potato sets of different sizes at different distances were n favor of two ounce sets planted tlu closest together. Planting one pet iur hill has given the best avernge r. i-ults for eight years, v nine of Ilnmaa. Th mission humus in the soil fulfills 1? second in importance only to that i-hich is fulfilled by the presence of .!nt food. Humus Is helpful in keeping soil in projier mechanical halnnco. in binding sops that are much pront: to blow, in increasing the power ?f soMs to absorb and hold moisture, and making more effective the actIon of fertilizers. When the humus is exhausted in a soil its mechanical condition suffers. It becomes more imparted, less easily aerated and less aslly penetrated by the roots of plants. Some soils so light as to lift with fhe wind can be kept from blowing at least In a great measure, by simply keeping them stored with grass, roots or ;ither vegetable matter buried in 'the poll. The increase in the power of "soils to li d. moisture is very great when ivell tored with lnr.nus. Kansas r.lrmci'. XiiiiI.vmI of H't'ciii.

In eo-eperation with the stockmen, the Fnited States Forest Service lias liegun an active campaign against prairie dogs on the infested ranges within fhe national forests of Arizona and New Mexico. Successful attempts at poisoning prairie dogs were made last spring and summer by the forest service in other parts of the country, and th's year the work; will be carried on much more extensively. The ioison used to put an end to these little pests of the Western ranges Is prepared by coating wheat with a preparation of strychnine, cyanide of potassium, anise il. aod molasses. The stockmen supply horses and men and the poisoned wheat is given out by the government offices for distribution upon ranges within the national forest areas. The act lob of the poison is almost .:nstanlaneous. Most of the prairie dogs are dead within an hour or two after the bait Is dropped. Early last month O.oOO pounds of wheat were prepared in Albuquerque and shipped to the various national forests in Arizona and New Mexico to lie distributed. This quantity of wheat will make approximately (.020.000 baits, which will clear up an area of from Ci.".000 to N00d acres, at a cost, exclusive of the lalwir of distributing It on the ranges, of about 1 to Df. cents an acre. The poison is used to best advantage in early spring when the dogs first come out of their winter quarters, aud before the green grass is plentiful enough to appease their apatites. As all Westerners know, prairie dogs are among the worst enemies with which the stockmen have to contend. Boston Transcript. Small Farm. More men. whether working fo? themselves or others, lose money by trying to do more work than they da properly, says the St. Louis Weekly Star. Work half done or performed ii a shiftless manner is never profitable' in fact, it Is rather a failure. Particularly is this tnie In farming. Fnv duction can be materially Increased where the work is confined to fewer acres with concentrated effort. Small farms pay better dividends than largf ones. lecause better cultivated. On 4C acres of land one man will find al! ho ran attend to the year round. Witt labor as high as It Is, there is llttl to encourage the farmer who is doiiijj well to buy more land. It is intensiv and intelligent farming that pay. There are many hindrances nssociat ed with the ojeration of large farms There are increased taxes to pay, tht expenses of larger buildings, the uu certainty and perplexity of obtaliln; efficient lHp. large expense bills foi fences, Insurance and fixed opera Hnj charges. If wealth brings increased responsibilities, so does a large funi incur enlarged expenses for ; inain?n a nee when contrasted with the cost o: keeping the smaller farm in good re pair and under high cultivation. It Is easier for the small farmer t keep up the fertility of his land tbai it Is to maintain the productivity itf 1 large farm. More manure Is made relatively, r.n a small farm per acr than on a large one. Commercial fer tilizers arc too expensive for ordinarj farm use. aud the farmer must depn on the fertilizer made on the farm t keep up the productiveness of the land All branch of agriculture can le bx plolted on u small farm, and more par ' ticularly pultry, fruit and mark gardening. High fertility takes thi place of broad acres In cultivating th small farai, and increased productloi gives the small farmer larger no profit for tbe labor expended thai were the Mine effort spread over 1 larger ara. To Gwow Sweet Potato Plant. Prepare a hotbed by using fresh ma nure from the horse barns. Add aboul one-third to one-half straw or beddlnj material and mix thoroughly. Ttda mixture should be packed in the bad to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. A convenient width for a hotbed is six fee:; they can then be made as long as d sired. The mixture should then be thoroughly moistened but not maCfi wet ; too much water will retard tl.e heating process caused by the fermentation of the manure. Iiet this mixtuie stand In the bod for three or four day?, by which time It will have reached lis highest degree of heat. At this time the bed should be carefully examined to see that there are no dry spots. The mixture should be ktpt 'II moistened. The frames that nie t. support the covering of the teil should then be placed on top of tie bed of manure with the shqie of the top to the south. Two or three Inches of sidl should be spread over the mixture and the sweet jiotatoes careful! y placed on the surface and coverd with an additional layer of soil to a depth of two or three inches. Sandy soil Is bet for this purpose. Keep this soil mo,rit througnout the entire period of platt growth. The potatoes should be carefully distributed over the bed and no two pl a toes should lie against each othw. but they need not be more than half u 1 inch upart. l'otaioes that are more than two and a half or three inches In diameter should be split lengthwise, and the cut surface placed down In the bed; smaller potatoes may be placed in the bed whole. The plants should be placed in the bed ahmt six weeks before the fin-t plant are to be transplanted to tii-i open field. If care Is exercised la juilün. the plants, a second crop nf plants will be produced in about twj weeks, and a third and much lighter crop will be produced about two weeks later, during which time a good bed will produce from Ko to 1Ö0 plants per scuaro foot. The plants should not bo placed in the open field until the soil is quita warm and all danger of frost is passed. In the central part of Oklahoma transplanting can 1' done in May. while in the souiheru part of th state it ca;i frequently be done with safety during the latter part f April. In the northern part of tli- state transplanting should be d'-iie after the middle ol May.

Portion of Priaon Made Famooi bf niekenn Mjiy He Seen Vet. Among the few places still strongly reminiscent of,t one of Dickens' most famous works "Little Dorrit" is Marshalsea prison, a portion of which may be seen just across London bridge on the south Bide of the Thames, says an exchange. This place is often sought by American visitors, but it ia by no means easy to find. There are several narrow courts and turnings to negotiate; and, as the inhabitants of the district are of the very roughest element, inquiries as to the whereabouts of the relics meet with little response. Most of the denizens of the district think you mean a saloon when you Inquire for the "Marshalsea" and kindly offer to show the way, their good nature being only exceeded by their anticipation of favors to come in the form of liquid refreshment. Tucked away behind a lot of buildings, after passing through a place called Angel court, there still remains a portion of the Marshalsea prison wall. The paving stones of the little garden which faces this wall are the actual stones which at one time formed a portion of the prison. In the introduction to "Little Dorrit" Dickens thus describes this spot; t "Whoever goes into Marshalsea place, turning out cf Angel court, leading to Bermondsey, will find his feet on the very paving stones of the extinct Marshalsea jail; will see its narrow yard to the right and to the left, very little altered, if at all, except that the walls were lowered when the place got free; will look upon the rooms in which the debtors lived, and will stand among the crowding ghost3 of many miserable j-ears." If you stand in the little recreation ground facing the wall you can read a tablet inscribed as follows: "On thi3 site was originally the Marshalsea prison, made famous by the late Charles Dickens in his well-known work, 'Little Dorrit.' " Just above this is the name, of a firm of machinists. The prison bars In the windows still remain as in the days when the place held its motley crowd of debtors. Among these, it will be remembered, was Dickens' own father, whom the novelist has described under the name of Mr. Micawber. SHORT METER SERMONS. a Con Otic nee A'eeded.

Lillian Pascal Day, in Success Magazine. Only Once. The grass widow was reading in Fome dismay a letter from a youth who hadn't seen her for two years.

When a woman like Mrs. Watermann is generous enough to write such a letter as the above for publication, she should at least be given credit for a sincere desire to help other suffering women. For we assure you there is no other reason why she should court such publicity. We say it in all sincerity and friendship try this medicine-

For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been tlie standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands ot cures to its credit, I 1 Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women J to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health free of charge.
