The death of the Count of Punonros-
tro, Spanish nobleman, recalls sin
gular story of the past. The Emperor
Charles V. was hunting one day-so
the story goes-which is very likely
founded upon an actual occurrence. but
In its details may have been modern
lied in the long time which has elapsed
with one of his body-guard at his
side. Charles was a redoubtable hunt
er, and so was the guard. Presently a
partridge passed, quite high over their
heads. Both sportsmen fired at the
same time, and the bird fell. 1t was
brought by the Emperor's servants.
(Which one of us, do you think, said
Charles, killed this PARTRIDGE
ut was l." said the guard.
"Thou lest, scoundrel," said the
Emperor.
He had hardly spoken when the
guard struck him so severe blow In
the face that he could hardly keep his
feet.
Charles first movement was to point
his gun straight at the audacious
guard, and pull the trigger, but the
weapon had just been discharged, and
had not been reloaded.
While the Emperor was reloading he
decided that he would not shoot the
guard on the spot. He sent him to
prison instead, with orders to prepare
for his execution.
Your fault is the greater" said the
Emperor. because there was doubt
whether thou didst really kill the
bird"
There is no doubt, sire, in my mind,
said the guard. viii you permit me
to see the bird?'
The partridge was brought, and the
guard showed the Emperor that it had
been killed with ball from his rifle.
The Emperor had been using bird-shot
all day.
The Emperor felt a little remorse at
this, but did not countermand his or
der for the guards death but at the
last moment he had the man brought
before him.
''Dost thou repent of striking me?"
"No, sire" said the guard. IF / had
a thousand lives, and your Majesty
should tell me thousand times, with
out reason, that / lied, thousand
times would / put my fist in your face
Uni puno en- ell rostro), and thousand
times would l go calmly to the block. 4"
The Emperor sat pensively for some
time revolving the matter in his mind.
The words mi puno en- ell rostro ran
kled in his mind, but presently he said,
My reign has need of such men as
you, after all. / wish there were a
thousand like you! Live, and be
known herafter as the Count of Punon-
rostro!'
The Count became the most devoted
of Charles vassals, and his family has
survived to this day. Youths Com

A Heroic Woman Gone.

A new-made grave In the National
Cemetery, Preside, marks the last
resting place of Margaret Molloy.
There is not soldier who has served
in the First Artillery Regiment during
the past thirty years who did not know
and love the woman whose life has just
gone out.
Margaret Mollov was the daughter
of the First. She had followed its for
tunes for the past thirty years.
Born in County Mayo, Ireland, she
came to this country when little girl,
and from that time almost up TO the
hour of her death her life was an event
full one.
The booming guns which marked the
opening of the civil war were her we'd
ding bells, for beneath the stars and
stripes floating over Fort Sumter
Margaret was married to one of the
little band Of soldiers comprising the
command of Major Anderson, and when
the garrison marched out of the fort
they had so nobly defended, Margaret
Molloy marched with them.
She was eighteen years OF age then,
and through the long years of the civil
war she followed the fortunes of the
First, caring for the sick and wounded,
nursing back to life many soldier
who, but for her aid would have filled
an unmarked grave. For her services
Margaret Molloy more than once re-
ceived the thanks of the commanding
General. and her name has found fire.
quent place in the army reports.
At the close of the war Margaret and
her husband still remained with the
First Artillery Regiment. and with
that command came to the Preside
in 1891.
In February last her husband, John
Molloy, Battery &C." died, and was
buried with military Donors. He, too,
was a native of Ireland, having been
born in County Westmeath fifty four
years ago. He had served longer in
the First Artillery than any other
soldier in the regimgnt, and his fune-
raj was attended by all the officers
stationed at the Preside.
And now Margaret Molloy's wish
that her life should end has been full
filled.-Sdn Francisco Examiner.

A Democrat but Not Doughface.

Gen. Daniel Sickles is Democrat and
a Democrat of good standing IN his party.
Gov. Hill made him Sheriff of New York.
Gen. Sickles does not consider that being
a Democrat need III Ike him a doughface
afraid to talk as he shot twenty-five years
ago In his Decoration Day address at
Boston Gen. Sickles spoke of the use of
Confederate flags at Richmond, saying:
Il am unmoved by the rancor of asperity
or hatred toward the men We met in bat
tie. But l am an American. / am a
Union soldier and / love the old flag.
And / say here, as will say everywhere,
that for Americans there is but one flag
the flag OF Lundy's Lane and Lake
Champlain and Lake Erie and New Or
leans; the flag of Scott and McDonough
and Perry and Jackson; the flag
of Lincoln and Hancock; the flag of
Grant, the flag of Wa~hinQton, the only
flag deserving of honor from Americans.
1t is the only flag which should float over
this broad land. 1t is the flag that rep
resents right, and in all our charity let
us not forget the difference between right
and wrong IL all Democrats would
speak as General Sickles speaks, and act
as he acts. there would not be n recur-
renee of the Richmond foolishness.
