teenth Alabama. and when I mentioned
the little fellows name he said: Why,
he is one of the best officers have. He
has been with the regiment in twenty
five pitched battles and eighty skir-
mishes. and stands right up TO fire. He
has his men under better control ir
field and camp than any of the other
captains; doesn't display his authority
as so many of the less effective do, and
is altogether a most desirable officer
''Oh, l could tell You about lots Of
bows who proved themselves worthy the
name of men, continued the surgeon.
There was Col. Lowry. who command
ed a Mississippi regiment. He came
into the hospital with a saber cut across
his face. He was seventeen years of
age and didn't look day older. There
was a captain of artillery whose right
leg was amputated at the thigh He
was from Florida and was but fourteen
years old. Two South Carolina boys
were brought in the same day. One was
thirteen years old and had lost his right
leg at the hip; the other was fifteen, and
his left leg had been amputated at the
knee. The younger One-a fine. rosy
faced child-succumbed to the weakness
which followed the operation. Every
body around the place was sorry for
him.
II wasn't an old man when started
out-from the little village of Mill
wood, Mo.-to be a soldier / was
a private in the First regiment, Third
division. Missouri State Guard
then part of Prices army. The first
human being saw killed was boy of
fourteen. Our regiment was at the bat
tie of Wilson's creek, and some one in
our ranks fired the shot that killed Gen.
Lyon. A thirteen-year-old hoy in Com
pany d claimed to have fired that shot,
and while he may not have found it pos
sible to prove his assertion no attempt
was ever made to controvert it. We
went into that battle with two hundred
and thirty-siX men and after eleven
hours of hard fighting came out with
one hundred and five men. The boys
were CONSPICUOUS there. Capt. Hal
leck commanded one of our COM
panies He had been land Of
fee official under Buchanan and was
well-known. In his company were his
two sons-Alonzo, aged nineteen, and
William, aged fourteen. Father and
sons were bound by the most affection
ate ties; their tenderness toward each
other was touching and beautiful.
After we had been fighting for about
three hours Capt. Halleck was shot
through the brain right in sight of his
boys. We were moving forward then
and had only gone something like a
quarter of mile when Alonzo was shot
through the heart. Willie ran to him
and held him in his arms for the brief
period before death came. If l lived
thousand years l could never forget that
little scene, how the survivor cried for
awhile as though the light had gone out
of his life, and how he picked up his
muslket, took his place in line and
fought until the battle ended.
Don't forget that the boys played
big part in the war. Washington

Closely.

AsdhyeE AoO
Closely.
A case was on trial in a Kentucky
courtroom An old man of somewhat
disreputable appearance had just given
important testimony. and the lawyer
whose cause suffered by his statements
strOve in every way to confuse and trip
him. but in vain. The witness stuck to
his story, and did not lose his temper in
spite of the irritatiI : manner in which
the cross-eXamination was conducted.
Finally. in the hope of breaking down
the credibility of the witness, the law
yer at venture asked
"Have You ever been in PRISON."
81 have" replied the witness.
'Ah," exclaimed the attorney. with a
triumphant glance at the jury Il
thought as much May l inquire how
long you were there?"
Two years and three months" an
swered the witness, quietly. with man
ner that was interpreted by the lawyer
as indicating chagrin at an unexpected
exposure.
Indeed, said the delighted lawyer,
feeling his case already won. THAT
was heavy sentence. | trust the jury
viii note the significance of the fact.
Now, sir tell the jury where you were
confined"
I'm Andersonville, replied the old
man, drawing himself up proudly,
There was a moment Of silence, the
jurors looked at each other, and then
the courtroom rang with cheers which
the court officers were powerless to
check. and in which some of the jury
joined.
The too inquisitive lawyer hardly
waited to hear the verdict against him.

A Witty Newsboy Who Knew How TO
Turn a Penny.
In the earlier days of the sixties, there
used TO appear daily in the various
camps and forts that constituted the
defenses at Washington, pleasing and
ready-witted youth, with all the morn
ing papers. Newsboys, as a rule, are
up TO snuff: the one we speak of, as Sam
Weller would put it, was possessed of a
pinch or two over" He was gifted
with a kind. genial disposition. At re-
partee he was all that could be wished
His smile was captivating, but every
move he made, every word he uttered.
every smile he gave were given or ut
tered to induce you to buy his papers.
He rode a good horse, and sometimes
had use for good horse, for when pa
pers did not sell, he would often invent
news of a startling nature and had to
get out Of camp in hurry before the
deception was exposed. The boys would
tumble out of their shelter tents the in
slant his clarion voice penetrated their
narrow confines. His voice would reach
every tent within a half mile. Those
possessed of fractional currency would
invest in news while those whose pock-
cts contained nothing but space. would
amuse themselves with chatting the
news vender.
A day or two after the tragic death Of
Gen. VIM. Nelson. of the union army, in
the Gait house in Louisville KY, by a
pistol in the hams of ansther union Of
fcer, Gen. jeff c. Davis, our newspaper
hero with an unusually large batch of
papers made his appearance in camp.
Before offering his papers for sale he
probably argued to himself in this way:
Now, all the news in the paper this
morning, of any moment, is this shoot
ing affair in Louisville. and if / tell
these fellows in camp here that Gen
jeff C. Davis has shot Gen. Nelson, they
will not buy half dozen papers,
IF .one-half the generals should kill
off the other half, l don't believe these
fellows would care, but if Gen. Nelson
had shot Gen. Jeff c. Davis, ! could
easily make them believe it was south
ern JEFF Davis and they would buy up
my papers in no time. | believe ! will
try it, as it is, any way" And he did

proclaiming the startling news of the
death of JEFF C. Davis at the hands of
Gen. Nelson" To say the camp was
startled by this news is to put it very
mildly, the boys tumbled out as never
before, every one possessed of the need
full bought papers to send home to their
friends the welcome news. Those who
were lonesome enough to have no
money, borrowed of their terminates.
Our hero having disposed of his stock
put spurs to his horse and soon was
miles away
1t took ten or fifteen minutes for the
boys to fairly realize the little game
played on them.
Soldiers are proverbially good natured
under adverse circumstances, and there
was no i'll feeling cherished against our
newsboy, for when he appeared again
next day he was looked on with admir-
alton by those who had not patronized
him the previous day, and when he left,
some of the boys cheered him.-Grand

BOYS IN THE WAR.
A Captain of Fifteen Years and a Colonel
of Seventeen.

A Captain of Fifteen Years and "a Colonel
of Seventeen.
MY own experience, said medical
man who was surgeon during the war,
''would prove that great many COM
batants of rank were mere boys.
Early in May, 1864, then being an
assistant surgeon in the confederate
service, | was stationed at Towards
Grove hospital, near Richmond. Shortly
after | went there it became an Ala
bama hospital, and it was then that
came across one of the many notable
cases to which l can refer. While on
my rounds one morning | noticed
among the new cases a scrawny, sallow
hin checked fellow. He was an insig-
nifcant-looking youngster, and l was
not much surprised when, in response
to "a question: was making up the hos
pital record-he said he was fifteen
years of age. When / asked him what
his command was he said, THE 18th
Alabama" and then gave his rank as
captain. He was such a poor, puny
little fellow that 7 thought Alabama
regiments must be badly off for officers.
| don't know but | was somewhat pre-
iudiced against him because of his un-
prepossessing youth, although he had
commenced to fight when but eleven
years old. He was a decidedly sick boy
not wounded-yet l had a very poor
opinion of him. Suddenly he spoke up
and said Doctor, | want you to get
me out of here as quick as you can"
We always do that, | replied.
Yes. said he, but soldiers don't
always want to get out of hospital.
went out at the first call and this is the
first time have been separated from
my command,
In a day or two he began to mend
more rapidly than | expected him to
and on the fourth day he commenced
to bother me by insisting that he was
fit for duty He said he felt fully able
to get up and he pleaded hard with me
to report him for duty told him that
if / reported him he would at once be
sent back. while ] would be censured.
BY that time l had changed my opinion
of him, but had to speak somewhat
roughly to him for two days to prevent
him tormenting me. On the seventh
day he again commenced to plead, and
! at last told him that if he improved
as rapidly in the next twenty-four
hours as he had previously ] would re-
port him. lie held me to my promise
and was reported as fit for duty. While
he was in line with others who were
about to be discharged the hospital
mail came, and in it was a big
letter addressed to him. He opened it
and in a moment cried out: Take this
back: I don't want it 1t was a thirty
