Leyaa. then a member of congress from Illinois and later a major general and a senator from Illinois. As so on as General Logan -- ?? that tln re was going to be some uai fighting near Washington he the capital, got hold of a musket i walked all the*,way to Bull Run. ;ere he joined Colonel Richardson's regiment and though he was in ordi nary dress stood his ground as valiantly as anyone?and longer than most. In the end, however, there was nothing for him to do 'except to join the retreat. He found himself back in Washington the next morning. Going up to the capitol, he was soon surrounded by a score or two of congressmen to whom he was describing incidents of the battle and of the rout. "'Who told you about a!i this?" asked one congressman who had come up too late to hear the begin-, ning of Logan's story. "Why. I was there myself," was the reply. 'You were there?" exclaimed the; congressman. "Why, were the carsj running out that way?" "No," said Logan with a grim smile. "The cJtr. were not running, but everything else in my vicinity was."?Youth's Companion. ? _ - y - immm ?? ?

My turnips took the highv*prize at Hayseed County's fair; rr.v pumpkins reached so great a. siy.e they made my rivals swear; you simply cannot realize their anguish and despair. And yet I labored in >i: -gust, as I toiled I said, *Tll quit this fanning graft or bust, it keeps ne seeing red"; all day I tilled m. brown earth's crust, at night L w ,-r to bed. The bed was cheap and hard j and small, the tick was stuffed w th hay, the pillow harder than the ha', with which the Giants play; this didn't worry me at ail: I slept * he night away. It seemed two minutes from the time when I began to snore till the alarm clock's raucous chime proclaimed that night was o'er, and , I'd have coughed up half a dime to sleep for nine hour.- more. No idle dreams disturbed my rest when I was in the hay; no nightmare came, a grisly guest, to drive my peace away;. I slept like Tut, whose mummy-chest has been drug up, they say. Aral now that I am rich and old the night hours slowly slide; my bed's a won-: der to behold, the mattress maker's pride, the coverlets are striped with | gold, in kingly purple dyed.

Carolina Sunday School Association is a co-operative effort . of Sunday School workers of the evangelical denominations to extend and improve Sunday School wor kin North Carolina. 2. It is the only organization irt the State which aims to belp departments of every Sunday School, and to help organize denomii ational Sunday Schools in every community that ha* no Sunday SchooL| 3. The organization stands tor those interests common to all Sunday School workers. It strives to help by way of suggestion, not by authority; therefore, it nelps ma ly; it hinders none. 4. Seventy-one of the one hundred counties in the State are now organized into Gpunty Sunday School Associations. In the Convention year, from April 1? 1922, to March 31, 1923, 67 county conventions were held. Ln these conventions 1,264 Sunday Schools were represented 16.500 people. Among those attending 455 preachers, 572 superintendents, 3,146 teachers. 5. During the Convention year 196 township conventions were held, which was an. increase of nearly, one hundred per cent, a* only 102 were held tne previous year. 6. Two counties?Rowan and Cabarrus?have covered cme hundred per cent of the "County Aims.'* Randolph and Guilford, fifty-five per cent; Wayne, fifty per cent. 7. As evidence of the need of this co-operative work, only about one in three of the white population of the State is enrolled in Sunday Schools, and the actual attendance is less than one in four.
