IN TwENTY-EIGHr BATTLES
And Can Freely Say That He Never Got
'sUsed to It.o

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Col. James NJ. Thompson gave his opinion as
follows: ''The quality of courage in battle re-
gard as being to large extent physical attri-
butte. have heard a good deal of talk about
the nonchalance Of men in action and their
ease and composure after the first gun was
fired but l never took much stock in it.
went through the war in the army aud it was
my fortune to be in portion of the service in
virginia where there was good deal of hard
fighting to do, and there wasn't any creditable
way to get out of it, either. I saw service in
twenty-eight battles and 1 can freely say that
for one never got used to it, I never went
into fight without an all-pervading sense Of
danger, and was always glad when it was over.
VI course moral courage, high patriotism and
the military spirit kept the great majority of
men right up to the mark, but there were notable
instances OF men whose physical natures simply
failed to respond when called on. They could
not possibly go into fight A clear head and
full conception OF the enormous consequences
OF cowardice to themselves failed to spur them
to the staying point, and on the first whiz of
bullet their signals of distress were visible to
all in sight. A weil-known New York colonel,
a perfect gentleman a scholar, patriot and
really noble fellow, was SO weak in point OF
courage and his humiliation so great at really
being afraid to face danger that he was forced
to retire from the army, went to Washington,
pinned away and died in few weeks. l knew
another prominent officer whose friends, out of
consideration for his well-known failing, used
TO manage, on one prete1t or another. to keep
him out CT engagements and thus shield him
from exposure Men like that are to be pitied,
not blamed. They want to fight, but their
bodies actually refuse to obey their will. /"

A wOMAN'S BUCKET-SHOP.
How the Woman of Chicago Crafty
Their Love For Stocks.

From the Chicago Tribune
A reporter gained access to the place. 1t is
medium-sized room plainly fitted up. The
customary black board covers one wall and
Brussels carpet the floor. The .'costly cur
tains" consist of plain shades; the paint
ings," picture of patent corset. The only
article that could possibly be defined as brio
! a-brac was cuspidor, and it had several ciga-
rette stubs. Twenty or thirty cane-seated
chairs were occupied by as many women. The
majority were prououncedly middle-aged
few were positively venerable, the remainder
being near that feminine poin. of life which is
not dated.
Not one of the women bear any appearance
OF being in afiuent circumstances. None were
richly dressed, while several were yerging on
shabbiness. The impression which an ordinary
bucket shop gives observer-that its hab-
itues are playing away their grocery money
suggested itself here.
Half q dozen Of the women crowded around
ticker superintendent by young man in his
shirt sleeves. The rest watched little boy in
a Eauntleroy suit playing at chalking I'D fig
ures on the blackboard
This is a pleasant room,' veutered the re-
porter to portly woman in faded black.
Yes. it is real nice. Mr.. Bradley tries to
make everything pleasant for u.s.
How heavily DO they speculate here?"
huV"' tLS lClQdle re-
piled. ''Some ladies buy as much as $40
worth, but most of them, guess, invest % and
80 at a time"
Don't they ever sell-sell short?'
well. now, really / am afraid we ladies'
don't quite understand that--at least some of
US. But some OF US make money. That Young
| lady near the window with a white feather on
her hat made Sc yesterday. How much did
she lose first? o, L couldn't say. There was a
| lady friend Of mine who used to come here who
lost so, though. She told her brother all
! about it, and said she couldn't see why she
couldn't make instead Of losing. He said he
didn't see why colt couldn't wade across a
I river without getting its feet wet. But then he
was man and men are SO unsympathetic
Look at Fanny Blinn ON the big board. She's
| made hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
| dollars and she's a woman. We would all buy
over there If we had money enough; but we
| have to begin"
The manager said he didn't care for any
| notorety. They were not advertising this
place, though the female habitues might tell
their friends about it.
There are plenty Of women who want to
speculate" he said, land you know many
brokers object to taking their business. Its
too small and they think women are .kickers.
Bradley Il Co. might as well have their bust

The Boston Girl Never Gets Left.

This story of the Boston girl abroad is con-
cocted by the London Illustrated Neaos: ."The
proprietor Of fashionable West End hotel
does not receive young ladies who are unac-
companied by chaperons, even though they
hail from the United States The other day a
saucy young damsel from Boston went bowling
along Piccadilly in high spirits and spick-
and-span new hanson. The fetching" COM
bination pulled up at the - hotel She
bounced in and asked if she could have room
for the night. Before the clerk could twist q
smile with which to decorate his regrets that
every apartment in the house was engaged the
young lady snapped out: MY mamma will be
here tonight from Liverpool. I've telegraphed
for her."
''Oh, very well; in that case, you can, per-
haps, be accommodated" gently suggested the
clerk. The new arrival went on in a voice
tremulous with irritation: Perhaps you'd like
me to send for my father, too, and my sisters
and my cousins, my aunts and grandfather or
two" Mamma will answer the purpose
nicely" the clerk replied with serenity. "Oh,
I'm glad to know that" replied the Boston
lassie with toss of the head; because if it
will appease your suspicious as to who am

my birth, the pedigree of my family for three

Welded AND WIDOWED.
John Lawton's Romantic Death-B Bed
Marriage with His House Keeper.

A Providence, RI, special says: The DEATH
bed marriage Of John Lawton, past national
supreme ranger Of the Forresters, has invested
the closing scene Of his life with q touch Of
romance. Lawton was man of considerable
means and had a big and generous heart.
Touched with the devotion of Clara Louise Eli
nora Fogg, his house keeper, he offered her his
hand and heart as he lay dying with but an
hour OF life to live. The person to whom he Of
fered to devote the remainder Of his existence
(about SO minutes) did not ask for delay nor toy
with the offer. She was no coy maiden, but
matron OF thirty-fve. who had passed through
period OF miserable matrimony wears ago.
She had nursed him with tender solicitude and
with unselfsh devotion and had refused to be
relieved OF duties trying enough to PROSTATE
the most robust woman. He appeared to be 30
DESTROYS OF being accurately informed as to his
condition that he created an impression that il
there had been any hope of recovery he would
have reserved his hand for some other woman,
to whom rumor says he was engaged in New
York. But the medical men were positive
nothing could save him. His house keeper
had gone into the bed chamber with tray
containing delicacies, when Mr.. Lawton beck
oned her to his side.
II want you to do me favor" he said II
want you to marry me. have but few hours
to live, and want to make you some return for
all your goodness and attention. Will you have
me?'
The proposal almost took away the house
keepers breath.
1T won't be for more than an hour or two,"
said Lawton, thinking that Mrs. Fogg was un-
certain about committing her future to his
keeping: His explanation had the effect of
making Mrs. Fogg cry, and through her tears
she promised to be John Lawton's wife for bet
ter or worse, come veal or woe.

THE NEXT APPORTIONMENT.
Two Estimates of Party Strength the
Next Census Will Show.

From the New York Press tRep.}
Within short time one Of the most interest
ing topics Of discussion in political quarters
will be the probable population Of the country
as returned by the eleventh census and the
new scheme Of apportionment. All sorts OF
estimates have been made in relation to the
population. Some have been roughly made by
adding 80 per cent to the returns Of 1880. and
the forecast Of IS, OOO, 900 has generally been
accepted. Not one of these estimates, how
ever, has shown the population by states, and
hence the Press has undertaken to do this by
the aid Of the state censuses of 1885 and by the
vote at the last presidential election.
For convenience table is herewith ap-
pended showing the number Of electoral votes
on a representation of 192, 999 to a congress
sional district, which would give us the present
number of Congressman plus the members
from the new states $500; also the number Of
electoral votes on the basis Of 215000, 220, 900,
$4,000, and $50, 900 to a congressional district.
The states have been divided into republican,
democratic, and doubtful.

'She died of broken heart is what might
be written over the grave of Mrs A. B. Adams,
who was buried in Macon, Ga, Saturday. Just
six months ago her son, Jonathan Adams. to
whom she was unusually attached, preceded
her through the dark valley. He had been one
of the leading cotton dealers OF the city and
enjoyed excellent credit. The discovery of
numerous forgeries threw him into prison. He
refused to eat and continued his determination
of starvation until his death followed. From
that day his mother was no longer herself Her
health began to decline and change Of location

was brought home, where she gradually grew
weaker until the tired spirit sank to rest.

These figures are an eloquent protest against
the stupidity OF any attempts to force the west
to the rear. No one who examines the subject
will believe that the electoral vote of the west
in 1892 is likely to be less than 157 in an e,ecs
toral college of 424. or in that proportion in a
smaller college. Giving one party all the votes
Of the southern states (l59), with New York
$3.50 and Indiana Q5) added, it would have only
2lo electoral votes, or with the votes of New
York (36), New Jersey (9) and Connecticnt *,
only 209. In order TO win on the old comh;naII
tions 1t would be necessary to carry the entire
south. New York, Indiana and either New Jer-
sey or Connecticut. New York and Indiana
would not decide the result nor would New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut even Ala.
ing that Connecticut will retain its present pro-
portionate strength.

the west Will lose foothold in national politics
