sleepy They informed me that we had won
the battle, and they had come back to find me
and care for me; they told me that ball had
passed through my thigh and that had nearly
bled to death My boot filled with blood was
taken off; my thigh bandaged in rude, but
kindly way; litter from blanket was
quickly made and was carried to the rear. /
asked nothing, cared nothing, hut they told
me that most of my comrades fell at the same
time was wounded.
There was Peters, Campbell. Roller, Moore,
Wilson, Wood, Martin, Ryan, Cooper, Brady,
Swoope and others all shot within thirty sec
onds, and my company was almost destroyed
on that deadly field, where so many had per-
ished before we entered it, and l wondered
how many Of the Fifth Regiment were left;
but began to realize that the skeleton of tie
"Stonewa1 Brigade" was occupying the
heights in front of lis, and l was safe
among my friends.
This was on Friday evening, and was laid
in grove close by church in the rear of the
battle field, the wounded were crowded thick
around me, and on Saturday morning those
who had died about me were carried away.
On Sunday my brother came from Richmond
and took me to that city, where / remained
until Tuesday, when 1 was taken to another
brother in Staunton, where my mother met
me, and after being able to be removed I was
taken to the country where my mother and
sisters nursed me until recovery.

Hint to Five Cent Smokers

(Which end of that cigar are you going
to put in your MOUTH" inquired the dealer
Of the reporter, as the latter cut off the
closed end of five cent cigar, "Why, the
end have just cut" he replied. "Why do
you ask9'' Because" replied the cigar
dealer, "to get the most enjoyment out of
that cigar you are doing the worst thing
possible. I'll explain. In making cheap
cigars good enough wrapper is used-aa
good often as on the finer grades, Havana
filler is used in measure, hut does not
run the length Of the cigar, as in the bet
ter goods. 1t usually ends about an inch
from the extremity of the butt, or end that
is generally placed in the mouth, and poor
light weed raised in the northern states,
and of a grade similar to dried cabbage, is
inserted. In smoking the five cent cigar
all the smoke, of course, passes through
this miserable stuff, which makes it taste
badly. Now, if you will only reverse the
cigar and cut off the mouth end, light it
and puff away, you will enjoy it very near
" as much as a finer cigar. Washington

Going to Stick to Dad.

Professor Rector has lost his BRIDE He
was recently married to the daughter of
Ben Ward, a prominent citizen of Rimdo,
Ark, after very short acquaintance, and
they started on brief tour. At Hope,
forty miles away, the professor thought of
some neglected business at Texarkana, and,
leaving his wife at Hope, went to transact
it. There he spent his last cent. The girl
returned home, and the professor wrote a
note to his spouse as follows:
"MY DEAREST DARLING DUCKIE: Please,
where are my clothes?"
The answer came back:
"Your clothes are where you left them,
and am where you found me. You may

Saints College vas held last even

Instructor Willard Croxall ex-
planned the Australian system OF
voting, showing its advantages in
the matter Of halloting over all
others. The system consists Of a
voter taking ticket containing the
names Of all the candidates for the
office. Opposite each name is a blank
space in which n mark is made,
I signifying the candidate voted for.
I IL no name is marked, or If two
names are thus designated, the vote
/ becomes invalid. After having de-
posted his vote the electOr retires.
! and is not permitted to re-enter.
| Fraud and bribery are hindered and
almost totally prevented. for no one
is with the voter when he casts his
ballot; hence it il never known for
which candidate be voted.
DIR. BONANZA b. Pratt followed
with a lecture on the snbject of
''Sight.' She commenced by
dwelling upon the importance Of
the sense Of vision, on account Of
the impressions received through il,
and next detailed the structure ofthe
organ of sight, showing its adapta-
biiity TO its purposes. The eye is
one OF the most perfect Of all optical
Instruments, and very delicate.
Short-sightedness, an imperfection
resulting from a straining of the
eyes, is very common among school
children, and can he overcome by
wearing such glasses as shall coun-
teract the tendency of the lens of
the eye to focus the rays Of light too
quickly. Far-sightedness is a dis
ease of the eyes opposite in nature
TO that of near-sightedness, and
is overcome by opposite means.
Old sight is lack OF capability on
the part Of the lens, TO make a DIS
tinct image of near objects. The
muscle of accommodation, surround
ing the lens, sometimes loses its
power in middle age, and the result
is that help in the form Of glasses is
required at that stage OF life. Many
other complications, arising from
abnormal forms of lenses, were
treated upon, and remedies pointed
out. Habits, injurious in their re-
suits upon the eye, were referred to,
and the lecturer dwelt upon the |
necessity Of parents and teachers |
using great care in correcting such |
habits when they become apparent |
in children.
The Guitar and Mandolin Club |
rendered some choice selections in |
