just then the order to fall back was Civ.
en-. He was assisted to his feet, stag
gered few yards in dazed kind of n
way, and then fell in n heap as Con-
federate brigade swarmed into the
woods. His comrades were forced u
leave him, and he never rejoined them.
The War Department records bore op-
posite his name this note:
Wounded md missing In the battle OF Chick
amauga, September 10. 1868.
And so he disappeared from comrades
and friends and home, one of the un-
known dead. His father, years after
wards, applied for pension on account
of his service, his mother having died
prior to his enlistment. No doubt was
raised as to his death in the army, but the
claim was rejected on the legal ground
of non-dependence.
The next scene in this strange history
opens on lonely country road, where,
on freezing February evening in 1870,
Hugh Thompson, the wounded soldier of
Chickamauga, "came to himself" as he
expressed it. 1t was just as if at that
moment he mad awoke from 2 ireamless
sleep of seven years and became con-
scious of existence. But his memory was
gone, totally and absolutely. His other
faculties were keen enough, but he could
not recall his own name, where he had
been, his family or his home. His entire
past up to that moment was simply a
blank.
The cloud on his darlxened mind grad
ually lifted, and old scenes and incl
dents came back to him more or less
vividly. He became aware that he had
been in the army and had been wounded.
Along in the sos he drifted to Kansas
and entered homestead, on which he
settled, having married in Illinois. He fin
ally became satisfied that he had served
in AN Ohio regiment, and then aided by
the Grand Army men of Kansas, to
whom he told his story, he set about
discovering his home and his family.
The local newspapers took up the mat.
ter, gave accurate descriptions of him.
and the strange story of the .Nameless
Soldier" as he came to be known.
travelled to Ohio and was read by
Thompsons aged father, who recog-
nized in the description his long lost son
Hugh. Correspondence ensued, and the
result was that Hugh returned home in
1887, was easily identified by his family
and former comrades, applied for pen
sion, and at last the certificate directing
payment to him as the wounded and
missing Hugh Thompson, of Chicka'
mauga, has been forwarded.
Through all his wanderings he car
ried little Testament given to him by
a sister, when he enlisted. The sister,
still living, recognized it at once when
he exhibited it upon his return. All
his efforts have so far failed to recall tc
him any thing that occurred from the
time that he tumbled over on the bloody
field of Chickamauga until the strange
awakening of his dormant perceptive
faculties in 1S70.-National Tribune.

A Pnrsimonieu. Prince.

The Prince de Joinville is said TO be
the most parsimonious man in Euro pc
He ~ enormously rich and is quite as
mean as he is rich. He has a splendid
mannion in Paris, and occasionally he
runs into town to give his personal at
tention to business matters; at such
times he will not have the fires in the
kitchen lighted, because that would in
volve too much expense; whenever he
gets hungry he sends his servant around
the corner for bowl of soup, bit Of
meat and crust of bread. His parsi-
mony Is proverbial; even the gamins
chaff the old man about it, as he totters
along, the streets. This curious old
miser has nephew who is almost as
penurious as he; this is tho Comte de
Paris, the gentleman who is now being
feted in the United States The Comte
de Paris is enormously rich, and 80 is
his wife, and yet they can make penny
go further than the most prudent Yam
kee ousewife.-Chicago News.

ONE OF THE QUEER CHANCES.
The Narrow Escape of n Soldier from
Death.

The Narrow Escape of Soldier from
Death.
Every once in while some war vet
eran, under proper circumstances and
conditions, will tell you how he escaped
death at such place and such time by
the "queerest chance in the world" :"
Ore of these 'queerest chances in the
world" fell to the lot of an old-timer
who lives in Germantown, and, in truth,
it is one of the very queerest. He was
about to leave for the seat of war in
1868, and the girl to whom he he was
engaged, among numerous other things,
gave him chest-protector made by her
own fair hands and wet by her tears.
1t was meant to be practical and was of
immense thickness-that is, it was pad
ded to the depth of an inch or two. Dur
ing a long and tedious campaign in
chilly weather, the soldier found it in.

and wore it almost constantly. He had
it on one morning when plunged into
the heat of hand-to-hand Skin
mish. The affair developed into quite
a little battle and soon the struggling
fire on both sides had become rafting
volleys. When it was over the soldier
retired to his tent and removed his coat
and shirt in order to stanch the flow OF
blood from small flesh wound in his
back. In removing the protector he
felt a sharp pain shoot through hfs
chest, and then he noticed that the pro-
tector was cut all up by the passage of
a bullet. An investigation developed
an awfully ''queer chance" Hiss sweet
heart had accidentally left a needle
sticking in the pad which he had never
noticed before. This ran right through
the cloth and bullet had struck it on
the point. The needle had been force.

chicks and set it, at first, three inches
lower than the underside of the tank
and lower the platform half an inch
every ten days.
The illustration shows a double
brooder, with tight partitions in the
middle, and with openings for the
chicks on the opposite sides. The chicks
in each brooder have separate runs. To
set the brooder, have the end over the
lamp (three quarters of an inch the
lowest from the top of the lamp, but
half an inch is better), and the water
will freely circulate. Fill the tank 10
