Select the finest of the turkey feathers, msing thosé from the tail. A handle from an old duster is best, but one that will do nicely can ‘be found, that has once served ‘as a handle to a soup ladle’ or vegetable spoon, as they are often of wood, nicely painted black. Have ready some thick paste. Place a row of feathers around the end of the handle, tie with cord and smear well with paste; then add another row ‘| of feathers, keeping the feather ends even, ‘and wind and pasté as before. When a suitable size i8 obtained for. the duster, finish off with a few rows of the finer, softer feathers: from the body of the turkey, and trim the guill ends evenly with a sharp knife. The quills and paste are to be covered with a bit of bright colored leather, taken from the inside of an old shoe or boot, if mot too much Worn. Cut the leather in sec- tions, flaring themsto fit around the nicely; sew together and slip over the handle. The larger end may be notched fancifully, sud the other end fastened in place by a few small tacks. If desired, a bit of gimp and some tiny brass nails will finish it exactly like the beughten ones. One of these makes a nice hearth brush, and with a smell fancy dust pan, will be found convenient hung. near ;the _ stove, especially if ‘wood is burned, as there is always more or less litter from building fires.

Joknnie Klem Was, very, sinall of his 4 (age, and he was not. quite twelve years old whan he fell wounded on the bat- tle-field of Chickamauga. Somewhere along: the march Johnnie had falle#t into line, and the men, many ofgvhom bad boys at home, were Very kind to him. There was always rooms under somebody's ™ ‘blanket and a chance to ride, and if there was food Johnnie got his full share. The Colonel of one of the regiments was very kind to the boy, and he at- tached himself to that regiment. But Johnnie wanted to be a drummer-boy, and that, in his estimation, required a commission and & drum. The Colonel wrote out a. .eommission amd swore Johnnie in, and ‘the men from their "scant funds raised emough money to buy him a little drome: So Jobnnie Klem. became the drummer-boy of the regi- ment. He was very proud of his posi- tion, and soon was able to beat his drum in good style. ‘There were many hard marches, and the sapply of food was scant before the battlefield of Chicks maugs was reach- ed . The morning of the Battle: when the men were preparing to meet the enemy in force, the officers and men tried to persuade Johnnie not to go, but he was determined he would. “Pm the drummer-boyof the regi- ment, and it’s my duty to go,” he said. “But; Johnnie, we are going to fight | today, and vou might get killed.” “Well. what if I do? Fm going to the fight.” a “Rut you can’t fight--veu ¢ efet kill any of them,” “No, I Have no'gun, but I can beat the drum hard andscare them.” : So Johnnie was allowed to. go. . He kept step with the, men; as best. he could. When they came in battle line, and « shot and shell fell Tike rain, Jolinnie beat his little drum with sll his might. When the order was’ given to “charge,” Rie kept his place. with the men, running to keep up! and beating his. drum with all his: might. The Union forces were compelled to fall ‘baek. In the excitement noone noticed that Johnuie had fallen and thas they ‘had left him far behind. Poor little Johnnie lax soncly wonnded, with his drum and the. dead beside him. ‘A’ Confederate Captain came running in advance of his command. ‘Beei the boy, he cursed him and called him vile names, | = 4Y allow no man to call ‘me ,such names,” was Johnnie’s answer, as he seized the gun of the dead mam who was lying beside him - and shot the Captain, who was only a few feeb away and he fell dead. . The confederate soldiers, whey saw ‘himishoot their eaptain, came running, ‘intending to run’ him through with their bayonets; but at that moment a Colonel came ding. vp and halted them. “He killed our Captains We saw him do it,” they pleaded. ga Johnnie was Hot slow in telling his side of the story; and the Colonel had him sent back to the ‘hospital. And when a woman soldier whe had been wounded in the same battle Was sent over to the Union line under a “flag of truce,” Johnnie was sent with her with the message that “the Confederates did not use women and children in war.” The first time I saw Johnnie he was in a hospital at Chattamooga. The battles of Mission Ridge and Lookout Mountain had been fought near ut hand, but he bad mot been able to look out upon the grand and awful scenes of the conflieti There were a great many of the offi- ters came to see the little hero and have the story. verified by Ekim. So many were the visitors; that the sur- geons feared a relapse. But Johnnie recovered. As soon ashe was able to be ott he put on ' a Licutenant’s uni- form, for he had been commissioned, and the rank and pay of a Lieutenant he was entitled to, for he had earnéd promotion. Gen, Thomus placed him on his staff. He had a fine horse and carried a sword. Those who were at Chattanooga during the'stay of Gen.
