Out of the midst of the bloody ' horrors of the battle of Fredericksburg comes a sweet and touching in- , cident which goes to prove that the rage of battle cannot obliterate the ^ tenderness dwelling in the hearts of t men. The story is taken from Major ^ Robert Stiles's "Four Years Under } Massa Robert." The Federal army was entering the town, shot was fly- s ing in all directions, and Buck, a Con- j federate soldier, was peering around the corner of a house. j A little three-year-old, fair haired f baby girl toddled out of the alley, "accompanied by a Newfoundland dog, and in the midst of the hissing shells chased a cannon ball down the street. Buck ground his gun, dashed out ? into the storm and swung his great right arm around the baby. Then he ran after his company, the little one clasped to his breast. The company took refuge behind the stone wall which has now become historic, and there for hours and days of terror the baby was kept. Fierce nurses took turns in petting her while the storm of battle raged and shrieked. Never was a baby so cared for, and scouts scoured the countryside to get- her milk. When the struggle was over and the Federal army had left the company behind the wall received the post of honor in the van to lead the column into town. Buck stood about in the middle of the regiment, the baby in his arms. There was a long halt, and the brigade staff hurried to and fro. The regimental colors were not to be found. Suddenlv Buck sprang to. the front. r ? V He swung aloft the baby girl, her little garments fluttering like the folds of a banner, and shouted: "Forward, men of the Twenty.first! Here are our colors!" . Off started the brigade, cheering lustily. A Great Invention. In the department called "About People," in the June Woman's Home Companion, is the following paragraph about Angus Campbell, the man who invented the machine that picks cotton: A farmer, when he saw the machine the first time, said very wisely: "It will put ithe children to school." > "Twenty-five years ago a Chicago pattern-maker went on a pleasuretrip to Texas, where he saw hundreds of men, women and children laboriously picking cotton and dragging their slowly-filling sacks behind them as they toiled through the hot fields. Like others before him, he wondered if a machine might not be devised to do this work better, and to accomplish in the South a marvel parallelling that which the great grain-harvesters have worked in the wheat-fields of the West Others hadtried and failed, as he also might have failed had he not been of the persevering Scotch strain guaranteed by his name, Angus Campbell. Comparatively the grain-harvester presented a simple problem, for grain ripens uniformly and the entire field may be cut at once. But the cottonbolls mature at different times. A cotton-harvester, therefore, must be a machine that thinks?a machine with sufficient discrimination to pick out all the lint from the ripened bolls, yet to pass over those not yet ? matured, leaving the delicate plant 1 unharmed. Mr. Campbell wrestled c with the problem nearly twenty s years and suffered many discouragements and failures before he at last devised a wonderful contrivance with countless delicate fingers that will really pick cotton. It is hard to realize all that this invention may mean to the cotton-growing States. That it will cut down the cost of harvesting cotton two-thirds is a moderate estimate. And, as a farmer's wife thankfully observed, 'You don't have to cook for it.' Indirectly it will enormously increase the natural production of the chief export staple, and will save the Southern farmer tens of millions of dollars each year. Moreover, where farmers have actually been compelled to limit their cotton acreage because of the difficulty of securing labor in the picking season, this ever-ready servant will enable them to increase their crops without fear, perhaps doubling the value of their lands. Better still, 5 it will release from the drudgery of 1 the fields thousands who should be otherwise employed." , TRAINS COLLIDE. Pvventy or More Injured in Smash on Burlington. Denver, May 29.?At least nine persons were killed and twenty injured to-day in a head-on collision between eastbound passenger trains \Tos. 9 and 11, on the Burlington ailroad. ten miles east of McCook, \Teb. The engineers of both trains ire reported among the killed. The members of the Denver and Dmaha baseball teams, of the Western League, were passengers on the vest bound train, the Colorado lim ted. A number of members of both ;eams were slightly hurt. James McGill, president of the Denver ;eam, was among the injured. Pitchir Kinsella had his face badly cut md Second Baseman Lloyd suffered ninor injuries. X The day coach on the limited was :otally wrecked and in this car most )f the casualties took place. The ;oiyist car and baggage car were :hrown on their sides, but so far as tnown, their occupants escaped se*ious injuries. Surgeons and nurses have been summoned from McCook and other learby towns. The fireman, brakeman and express messenger of the west bound :rain are reported among the killed. Feeding Young Pigs. At this time of yearimost of the sows have farrowed their spring liters and it is very important that the ittle pigs be kept in a thrifty, growng condition and developed to ma:urity at a minimum cost. A fender iround the farrowing-, pen made of poles or scantling about ten inches ?rom the wall and eight inches from ;he floor will save the lives of many ittle pigs and prevent the sow from ;rushing or injuring them. Until the pigs are a month old the >nly way of feeding them is through he mother, and the amount of milk ?iven by the sow has a decided efect on the future development of he young pigs. Our plan of handling hogs at Clem;on College is to keep the sow with ;oung pigs in the farrowing pen vhich has a small lot adjoining for hree to four weeks after farrowing, hen turn them out on green pre, dover, and Bermuda grass pasture )r rape, which are the only green :rops we have at present. Separate ;mall movable houses are provided or each sow and in addition to the eed given the sow, \whichv consists )f a little corn and wheat middlings, he pigs are fed in separate pens on ikim milk and middlings made into i thin slop, and if no milk is availible use middlings and ground corn >r six parts ground corn and one >art tankage. The little pigs also earn to eat the green feed and when wo months old are weaned. Having earned to eat well, they will feel he loss of their mothers very little lor are their digestive organs deanged by any sudden chage of feed. mt- 4 - X ? ? ?

It is important that the pigs >e given plenty of clean water and ihade and kept free from lice by ising any cheap heavy oil or a five >er cent, solution of any of the standird coal tar products used for this rnrpose.

PROF. A. SMITH. Snake Tries to Swallow Calf. Luray, Va., May 27.?In search of i stray calf which had become separated from the rest of the herd of :attle belonging to Mr. W. H. Keyler, of this country, James Cubbage, vho is herding the cattle in the 31ue Ridge, was horrified the other lay to find the calf some distance rom the other cattle firmly in the p*ip of a monster black snake of the iangerous species which infest that egion. The snake was hanging on vith a deathlike grip to the calf's ;ail, 7 inches of which it had swalowed. The snake when found was naking frantic efforts to complete ts feat of swallowing the whole outit. When Cubbage found the calf it ivas fatigued and emaciated, givhg mmistakable evidence that it had )een carrying the snake for some ;ime and had lost valuable time :rom luxuriant pasture in an effort :o escape. With a heavy club Cubbage broke the snake's back, though t maintained an ugly disposition until it was given a fatal blow. The make measured seven feet long.? Norfolk Landmark.

Apparently Fickle Favor Has Snitched from Harmon.?Speaker is Merely in Receptive Mood. Washington, May 28.?Whether it remains so or not, the political wind is now blowing steadily in the direction of Champ Clark for president, and it has been generally admitted; that there has been a remarkable' shift in public opinion in the past) few weeks. It is not so long ago that j ' the friends of Gov. Harmon werej enthusiastic in the announcement that the Ohio governor would capture the Democratic nomination for the presidency in the national con - - - ' " - ? r-l vention in lyiz. At mat nine mms of Gov. Harmon claimed first place for him in the race for nomination; Gov. Wilson of New Jersey was conceded to be a close second by the Harmon boomers and the first place ? was claimed for him by his friends. Champ Clark was conceded by all to be a poor third. To-day the suituation is entirely j changed. Notwithstanding the fact ^ that the Harmon supporters opened j up campaign headquarters under the \ very nose of the Democratic speaker j of the house?in fact an office in the , lirmco nffirp building was used as the 1 Washington campaign headquarters i ?the speaker has come along so , rapidly that Gov. Harmon has drop- ped from first place to a poor third, formerly occupied by Mr. Clark. ] There is wide difference of opinion ? as to the relative standing of Gov. j Wilson and Speaker Clarke, but both < sides admit that so far as it is pos- j sible to judge at this time public ] opinion is almost equally divided. j Thus far in the race Mr. Clark has \ not raised his hand to further his own political ambitions. Members < of the house who have talked to the ( speaker on the subject and who have j urged him to announce his candidacy ( have had no success. Mr. Clark has j no intention at this time of announc ing his candidacy. He has made the fact so plain to his friends that they ( have ceased talking to him about it. i I Speaker Clark is not running away ( I from the nomination. He is quite j I as thoroughly infected with presi- j dential bacilli as any man in public j life. His friends have been given to j i understand, however, that the speak er is going to stand or fall on the < i j record made by the Democratic t ? house of representatives. Ih this j respect he is believed to have an ad- t j vantage over Gov. Wilson. It is ad- i mitted that the legislative pro- j ' gramme put through the New Jersey i * legislature by Gov. Wilson and i > against the wishes of the party lead- ] f ers in that State was an extremely i J ambitious one, and one which re- < i fleeted credit on the governor. The 1 New Jersey legislature has adjourn- ] ed, however, and much that has been j 5 done there has been forgotten out- ] side of New Jersey. Mr. Clark's j ! friends figure that the eyes of the ] country are now centered on the < Democratic house and that if the i house performs as Mr. Clark wishes < - and hopes it will perform he will he ] f in an excellent position to command ; a majority of the votes in the Demo- j cratic national convention. ] > While Speaker Clark may not have the undivided support of the Demo- 1 iernc ......JUST IN......

New York, May 27.?On the eve of its opening, Coney Island, the playground of New York, was devastated by fire early this morning, resulting in a loss of 13,000,000. Dreamland, the largest of the shows, together with twenty others, concessions, hotels and bath houses were in ashes when the fire was finally extinguished. No fatalities resulted, although i number of employes of the resort ind others had narrow escapes. Little, if any, insurance was carried, since the rates for Coney Island were prohibitive. Had it not been for a shift in the wind, which changed from southeast and blew off shore, Luna Park, Steeplechase and the rest of Coney Island would have been Ired. The fire started in "Hell Gate," a scenic railway close to the entrance of Dreamland. Three alarms were immediately turned in in rapid succession, bringing to the blaze apparatus from Brooklyn, N. Y., New Fork city and surrounding suburbs. Just when Dreamland and the pther amusements burned will be rebuilt is not known, but Manager Sumpertz, of the Dreamland enterprise, said to-night that the public might be sure that a greater and Iner Dreamland is going to rise from ts ashes. cratic members of the house, it is co-day an admitted fact that thefe is a better feeling on the Democratic side of the house than at any time since the rules fight two years ago. It that time Mr. Clark, then minorty leader, made no secret of his bit;er feeling against Representative Fitzgerald and the 22 men who voted igainst Clark on the committee on committees, and the minority leader told Fitzgerald that he would have ao more of his "slack-jaw." It is aow learned that more than a year later Clark took occasion to apologize to Fitzgerald for the use of that language. This apology was in accordance with Mr. Clark's determination to maintain harmony in his iwn ranks, and it had the effect of dealing over the old wounds. Now Mr. Clark is just sitting tight waibIng for the Democratic house to complete a legislative programme which will provide him with a platform on: which he can stand firmly. - .. . / Ion's!
