A Tough Regiment.

Jack Stephens, Clerk of the Criminal
Court, tells how it came about that his
regiment was in the late Senator Mill
ler's brigade but fifteen minutes.
Jacks regiment was one Of the tough
est in the army, and nobody seemed
anxious to have it in his command.
After it had been transferred from one
brigade to another and had found no.
body who could control it, Gen. Miller,
who was on pretty good terms with
himself and had high opinion of his
ability to control any set of men, asked
to have the tough regiment added to
his brigade. There was no opposition
to this, OF course, and the transfer was
made. Gen. Miller Immediately order
ed the regiment up in line and proceed
ed to make a speech to it, telling the
BOYS what he was and what he was not
going to suffer them to do. AS he
warmed up to his subject he drew off
his long gauntlets and laid them ..on a
drum standing near him. Hardly had
he done this when one of the boys in
the line sneaked behind the Gener al
and in plain sight of the entire regi-
ment stole the gaunlets and succeed ed
in getting back to his placein the ranks
unobserved by the eloquent General.
At the close of the speech, which did
not take longer than ten minutes, the
General dismissed the boys and turned
to pick up his gaunlets.
well, I'll be blessed y What he
said is not fully reported, but the fact
is known that in five minutes more he
had succeeded in having the regiment
turned over to another brigade.

A ALevel-Headed Brakeman.

\ number of years ago a stnbby
young man with a big mouth and solid
looking head was taken on the Chicago,
Burlington 81 Quincy Railroad as
freight brakeman. He seemed to pay
no attention TO the sports INDUCED in
by his fellow .brakemen wheI off duty,
but spent most of his time around the
shops learning how to run engines and
picking up information about the ma
chinery of rallroading. One day tall,
clerical looking man was riding in the
caboose of the train on which this
young man was employed. The tall
man seemed to take a kindly interest
in the young brakeman, who answered
his questions courteously, but did not
permit the passenger to interfere in the
least with his duty. Finally the train
came to a standstill, and it was found
that it had met another freight train at
station where the side track was not
long enough to hold either train. The
problem presented was How were
the trains to get by each other? In this
day that would be solved very easily,
but it so happened that at that time,
when railroading was very different
matter, neither conductor had encoun-
tered such a condition of affairs and
both supposed that one of the trains
would have to back up to a station
with a longer side track. AS the con-
ductors were discussing this the tall
passenger and the young brakeman
came mp to them. When the young
man understood the situation he said
to his conductor, respectfully
You can get by
sHow, I'd like to know p said the
conductor.
Tie young brakeman picked up a
stick and marked out in the mud what
is now known to every railroad man as
ssawing-by.' The trains we're sawed
and went their way. The next day
the young man was called to the diyis-
ion superintendent's office, where he
met the tall neutrality-suspicious.
I'll. II. Hitchcock was taken into
his more immediate employ, where he
learned telegraphy and became a train
dispatcher. In short time the Office
of master of transportation was Great
ed, and the young man was given that
place. From that day he has grown
rapidly, ard now the man who rides
over the Chicago & Alton Railroad on
the general managers pass reads that
young brakeman's name at the foot OF
it, c. Ii. Chappell, general manager

The Impression of Dying Mothers
Last Words.

A venerable clergyman of Virginia
said lately Men of my profession see
much of the tragic side Of life. Beside
a death bed the secret Of passions, the
hidden evil as we'll rs the good IN hu-
man nature, are very often dragged to
the light. haye seen men die in bat
tie, children. and young wiyes in their
husbands arms, but no death ever
seemed so pathetic to me as that of an
old woman, n member my church.
Il knew her first as young girl,
beautiful, gay, full of spirits and vigor.
She married and had four children; her
husband died and left her penniless.
She taught school. she painted, she sew
ed. she gave herself scarcely time to eat
or sleep. Every thought was for her
children to educate them, to give them
the same chance which their faith
would haye done.
She succeeded sent the boys to col.
lege, and the girls to school. When
they came home refined girls and strong
young men, abreast with al the new
ideas and tastes of their time, she was
a worn out commonplace old woman.
They had their own pursuits and COM
panions. She fingered among them
for two or three years and then died of
some sudden failure in the brain. The
shock woke them to consciousness. i'll
an agony of grief. The oldest son ,as he
held her in his arms, cried:
You have been good mother to
us!'
Her face colored again, her eyes kim
died into smile, and she whispered,
you never said that before, john
Then the light died out and she was
gone
How many men and women sacrifice
their own hopes and ambitions, their
strength, their life itself, to their chill
dren, who receive it as a matter of
course, and begrudge a caress, a word
of gratitude, in payment of al that has
been given them.
Boys, when you come back from COL
lege, don't consider that your only re-
lation 20 your father is to get as much
money as the governor will stand
Look at his gray hair, his uncertain
step, his dim eyes, and remember in
whose service he has grown old. You
can never pay him the debt you owe,
but at least acknowledge it before it is
too late.

Enbalmed by the Soil.

Human bodies buried in limestone
countries are often turned to solid stone
by the lime water which penetrates the
graves. In other soils there are ele-
ments which sometimes so enbalm the
buried dead as to preserve form and
features unchanged. Many such cases
are on record. Robert Burns body
was disinterred in 1915, to be removed
to a new tomb. 10 the surprise of all
his friends. the features were found to
be as perfect as at his burial.
The case of John Hampden, the fam
Gus English patriot and leader, was
more surprising. His body was dlsin-
terred by Lord Nugent, two hundred
years after burial. but folm and feat
ures were as unchanged as if the corpse
lad been recently laid In the grave.
When General Washington's body
was taken mp at Mt. Vernon, to be laid
in sarcophagus and removed to the
permanent tomb, his face was found
to be in state of perfect preservation
In all these cases. however, the pro-
cess Of decay had gone on internally,
though arrested at the surface. After
a brief exposure to the air, the body
crumbled, and all resemblance to life
passed away Youths Companion.
