The Fighting Chaplain,

Many of the eth regiment boys hadn't
the remotest conception that they had
such a fighter as DR.. J. r. Paxton for
chaplain. They learned it for the first
time on Sunday evening, when DR..
Paxton, in his sermon, modestly told
them that of q regiment of 1913 that
faced the iron hail of Gettysburg only
thirteen came out alive, and he was
one Of the singularly fortunate num-
Der. ''Aftcr that experience said
one of the enthusiastic. soldier boys,
"the doctor will be invited to COM
mers, and he will be as welcome as
fresh air, and more so,' For the ben
eft of Dr.. Paxton, tits stated that a
commers is a, beer feast borrowed from
the Germans. The brave soldier boy
Intended no disrespect to the clergy
man. He apparently had an enthusi-
astic idea that one who had come out
Gettysburg unframed might venture
to- attend a commers and come out
alive. 1t was simple tribute to the
fighting chaplain of the gorgeous 9TH.

The Fourteen Great Mistakes.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con
clusion that there arefourteen of them.
Most people would say, if they told
the truth, that there was no limit to
the mistakes Of lie; that they we're
like drops in the ocean or the sands
OF the shore i'll number, but it is we'll
to be accurate Here, then, are four
teen great mistakes: It is a great
mistake to set up our own standard
ofright and wrong, and judge people
accordingly; to measure the enjoy
ment OF others by our own; to expect
uniformity of opinion in this world;
to look for Judgment aud experience
in youth; to endeavor to mold all dis
positions alike; to yield to innaterial
trihes; to look for perfection in our
own actions; to worry ourselves and
Others with what can not beremedied;
not to alleviate all that needs ailevia-
tion as far as lies in our power; not
to make allowances for the infirmities
ofsothers; to consider everything I'M
possible that we can not perform, to
believe only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to under
stand everything. New York Star

A Brave Soldiers Fall.

One of the first to answer the bugle
call ITO arms" in behalf of the South
.ern cause in 1861 was a young impet-
uous Frenchmen, who had but recent
Ey landed in New Orleans. Hot. blooded
and enthusiastic, with Frenchmans
love of military glory, he entered the
army as private and fought through
the malaria breeding sWamps and
marshes with a bravery that soon won
him distinction. When the Southern
army laid down their arms at the close
of the war D. Zante wore the golden
epaulets of a Lieutenant-Colo
Like many who struggled for the
Lost Cause" Zante made his way to
California, and with the fragments of
his paternal fortune established him
self in the lamp manufacturing and
importing business. Fortune smiled
on him and he became wealthy.
When the Franco-P russian war
broke out and the fate of his s'la belle
France" seemed uncertain, he aban-
doned his business and fastened to
Paris. Here again he buckled on his
armor and faced the Teuton foe.
Through the weary days of uncertain
fortune he kept up a brave heart, and
his fearless face gave courage to his
disheartened comrades in arms. The
fall of Sedan, the surrender of Paris,
served but to make him more resolnte
for his country's cause. 1t was no use
however, for the decree had been
made, and, broken down in health and
spirit, Zante returned to San Francisco.
His ability and energy weakened,
through the privations of his many
campaigns, he could no longer wrestle
against the keen competition Of his

Jokes on the Picket-Line.

"While on picket duty on the Rap
panhannock river in the summer of
'62 above Fredericksburg, we were
very friendly with the Johnnies oppo-
site,' said Maj. Adolph Guest. "Bath-
ingparties from both sides would swim
to the middle of the river, have chat
and exchange papers, coffee, etc, for
tobacco. AS we were within easy hail
ing distance, dialogues were frequent.
One day a big confed shouted out:
"'Hello, Yank!'
"tHello, Johnny!''
"'We'ye got a new generaIv
lis that so-Who is it?'
"Gen. Starvation!'
''After the rebel yell which greeted
the discounted Yank had subsidized,
we put our heads together and con-
cocted the following plan to get even.

The Largest Regimenta1 Loss in
the War.

The official casualty list of the Con-
federate forces are not so trustworthy
as those of the Union side because
they have not had the same careful
revision since the war closed, but the
tables now accessible, show that the
Northern aim was equally true, and
that the Northern nerve was equally
steady. The Goth North Carolina
PettigreW's Brigade, Heth's Division
Lost at Gettysburg Sc killed and 5O2*
#IneIuding mortally wounded. The official
report states that the regiment s1went in
Gully y With over $40 men, .sassaas
wounded; total, 58S, not including the
missing, of whom there we're about
100 In one company, 81 strong,
every man aud officer was hiJ;san the
orderly sergeant who made out the list
did it with a bullet through each leg.
This is by far the largest regimental
loss on each side during the Col.

business rivals, and his accumulation
of wealth was rapidly dissipated.
For the last few years he has been
occupying small store on Jessie
street, near Third, and has existed by
doing small repairs on the lamps Of
the neighborhood. His intellect has
been gradually decaying, and for the
last two years ne has daily, at sun-up,
answered an imaginary reYeilIe. Neatly
dressed and cleanly shaver, with a
broomstick for a gun, he would go
through the manual of arms, saluting
imaginary officers and keeping step to
the beat of an imaginary drum. At
other times he would imagine himself
an officer, and with a cane for sword
would issue commands to his ghostly
ilegions. These little, harmless amuse-
ments will not, however, pay rent nor
satisfy landlords. Yesterday the old
soldier, who had barred his bosom to a
deadly foe in many a hard-fought bat
tie, was thrown out of his little shop,
with all his goods and chattels, by an
unsentimental bailiff. The poor old
veteran hardly realized his position,
and, like Napoleon gazing upon the
burning ruins of Moscow, Zante stood
with folded arms and head uncovered
gazing upon the ruins of
his LIES work. A police officer
with a sympathetic heart gently
led the hero of many fights away to
the Southern Police Station. No doubt
the remainder of this noble life will
be spent in one of the State asylums
for the insane. The old fights will be
refought till the Great General shall
sound Lights out, and Zante will go
to his rest.-Sa1a francisco alta.
