Capt Charles Reese, the Assessor of Fort
Wayne, Ind, was one of the bravest Union SOL
diers at the battle of Gettysburg. On the sec
ond day Of that memorable engagement Of the
civil war; July 2, 1868, Mr.. Reese was hit by a
bullet from rebel rife. The lead struck
him fairly between the eyes, at the base of the
frontal bone Of the skull aud buried itself in
the inner channels of the nose. He was car
ried from the field and conveyed to the hos
pital, but so firmly was the bullet imbedded in
the inner facial recesses, at the base Of the
skull that surgeons could not reach or disturb
it. Ever since that day it has been constant
and sore reminder of Gettysburg, despite the
fact that eminent surgeons were consulted.
Nature however, was at work, and slowly
but surely it operated TO liberate the leaden
memento Of Gettysburg. One day recently
Capt. Reese experienced choking sensation,
and sought relief by coughing when an ugly,
fattened piece of metal dropped to the floor
1t was the dreaded lead of Gettysburg, liberated
after 81 years imprisonment. and weighs one
ounce and 27 grains. Capt Reese is observing

Compromising the Claim.
Boston TranSerfnEl


A man came to the City Hall one day with q
claim for 81 600 in compensation for personal
damage received in fall down a coalhole. he
seemed to be under the impression that he had
to place his claim at q very moderate figure
indeed. 80 a sort of concession TO the econOmi-
cal practice then prevailing. But of course he
could not think of taking cent less than
$1,000. He was sent without hesitation 10 the
Mayor (0tis NorcrOss), who took care of such
applicants. The Mayor questioned him sharply.
The talk, to boil it down to small compass, ran
somewhat like this:
"What actual bodily injury did you receive,
Mr.. Smith,"
well, it hurt me pretty bad"
"Any bones broken?"
"N-nO, no bones broken"
"Any sprains? Any severe contusions7"
"Well, not exactly that, but"
"What harm did it really do your"
'Well, it tore my trousers aWfully!"
"Tore your trousers, Ell? It comes down to
that then2 Now, don't you think, Mr Smith,
that new pair Of trousers would about COM
pensate you for the loss yon sustained?"
well, I don't know but il would, Mr..
Mayor, come right down to it."
So the city of Boston presented Mr.. Smith
with new pair of trousers to replace the ones
he had torn, and Mr.. Smith waived his claim
for 81 900 damages.

It was in a Boston church, at an afternoon
meeting during the week Of prayer. One Of
the regular attedaHts was cOlored woman who
could sing a solo effectively, but was not always
edifying in speech. One afternoon, after sing
ing a hymn, she rose to her feet to relate an
experience" which she did in substance as
follows: 81 thank the Lord for what He has
done for me. He is always good to me. He
has always blessed me. l am 81 years old and
