horse falls in his tracks, and we drag
the cannon and its caisson up by hand.
1t is our last stand. The army is safe
and can ask no more OF us. AS we bind
up each others hurts we can hear the
foe cheering down the road. Five min
utes later the last shell is fred. There
is no more grape, no more canister
Gun and caisson are overturned into
the ditch. We hold the hill for ten
minutes with fire of musketry which
leaps up against the evening sky like a
bonfire, and then there comes a sudden
silence. We have the order to retreat
Leaving the wounded to curse and
groan and pray, leaving the dead to
grow cold as the red sunset fades away

like shadows into the night and like
shadows are swallowed up and lost to

come. 1t is here. The pursuit is ended.

FOOLED THE SURGEON.
A Wounded Soldiers Heroic Self-Treat-
ment and Its Good Result.

A Wounded Soldiers Heroic Self-Treat-
ment and Its Good Result.
1t was at one of the fierce battles of
the Virginia campaign that John En-
neking received a severe wound in the
leg. 1t had been terrible day and all
the hospitals were crowded. Besides
he had been wounded in the edge of a
wood and was not discovered for sew
eral hours after the conflict and the
retreat of the enemy. Meantime he
staunched the flow of blood by binding
his handkerchief about his leg and fell
asleep aftorward. He awolle few mo-
ments after they had scovcred him
and while they were discussing what
to do with him.
1t was midsummer in Virginia and
the air outdoors was balmy. so he was
left where he was and rude tent was
raised over him, where surgeon came
to see him when he could do so. Soon,
however, the unavoidable result of neg
lect was apparent and the surgeon de-
clared the leg must be amputated. En-
neking kicked at this. They told him
II amputation were not performed, and
at once, he would probably lose his life
as we'll rs his leg. But he had a smat-
tering of medical knowledge and posi-
lively refused to have his leg cut off.
They left him to his fate, telling him
that the next day would find him be-
yond hope.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
surgeon left him, and no sooner was he
alone than he began to hitch down hill
n little way to where he had discovered
spring which bubbled out of the
earth. 1t was but rod or SO away,
but it took him long while to reach
| it, which he finally did after fainting
several times at the pain which NOV
| ing caused his leg. Once by the side of
the spring, he removed all the band
ages and began to bathe the member.
Hour after hour he kept it up, until,
| exhausted, he fell asleep. On awaking
he felt that he was weak, and that all
that would save his limb and his life
would be perpetual stream of water,
not one which could be kept playing
merely during his wakeful hours. He
secured his knife from his pocket. and
with a piece of elder growing within
reach he shaped rude trough which he
inserted in the bubbling spring and Il,
lowed the water to flow through it and
in a steady stream upon his gangrened
leg. Thoroughly exhausted by the
labor of doing this work in his weak
state he dropped off to sleep almost as
soon as the stream was running.
When he awoke he found some food
within reach carefully covered with ]
cloth to keep the flies from it, so he
knew that some one with a kindly feel
ing had been to see him-some one toe
kind to disturb his slumber and toe
busy to remain until he was awake
His first feeling on awaking was an alb
sence of feeling, as one might express
it-a dumbness over the entire woupc
and for considerable distance arounC
it, which made his leg feel as though
swellcd terribly, something as mem
ber feels when you have rested on it il
cramped position till it is what is pop
ularly known as asleep.
He ate his breakfast and went t.
sleep again. But he did not sleep lonl

ened by picking the flowers as soon as
they begin to fade. The pods. though
smaller, resemble those of the culti-
waited pea. and the seeds have much the
same flavor.
Vicia Americana is one of the native
food plants of the large, brilliant
western species of blister beetle,
known TO science as Cantharis Nut
talli. Whole patches of wild peas
are denuded by these insects. I'm
fortunately they have also acquired
taste for cultivated beans, and as soon
as wild peas begin to get hard the
beetles turn their whole attention to
the gardens and bean patches, where,
on account of their large size and i'm
mense numbers, they make sad havoc.
This is only another instance of a
change in the food habits of an insect
by which it discards the plants which
afforded subsistence to its ancestors
to become an enemy to the tender anC
more nutritious cultivated species.
There are at least fifteen species o.
Vicia native to the United States, be
sides the two species naturaliZed from
Europe. These latter are the trou bic

THE HORRORS OF A RETREAT.
ADangerous Tactical Course, Even Though

ADangerous Tactical Course, Even Though
Adopted Only as q Subterfuge.
A general in command may order
retreat to secure stronger line, or be-
cause he fears disaster, or for several
other reasons which might be termed
good policy by a court of inquiry, but
there is peril in any backward move
ment. So long as the lines are standing
firm so long will men die bravely. Even
if a wing is being beaten back and the
fnct is known in the center, men will
still die with their faces to the foe.
An army corps is an anomaly. 1t will
charge into the face of death time and
again. Every man will obey like a
machine. No man knows what fear is.
That is because it is at least holding
its ground if not gaining something.
Let the order run down the lines of a
retrogade movement, and there is a
paniclSy feeling observed ut once. Have
other corps been defeated? Has the
enemy pierced the center? Has the bat
tie been lost? Men ask these questions
of each other in cowardly whispers, and
within ten minutes four-fifths of the
command are ready for flight All vet
erans experienced this sensation more
than once, but no man can explain 1t.

this time. He was aroused by some
one shaking him. IL was the surgeon,
vino ut first thought he was dead, but
soon changed his mind when he heard
Enneking's vigorous language at the
pain in his leg caused by the ungentle
shake of the surgeon.
Ready to have that amputation per-
formed yet?'' he asked.

"What have you been doing?" he con.

With that the surgeon left him and
continued his rounds through the i'm
provised hospitals. Enneking worried
through the day as best he could and
went to sleep again at night with the
stream of water still playing on his
wound. He awoSe next morning with
a dull pain in and about the wound, but

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
The Excellent Road Law Passed by this
Lone star Legislature.

LCne star Legislature.
The agitation begun some time age
for the construction of country roads
that will be passable at all seasons ot
the year is not to be allowed to die out
without having produced any practical
results. 1t is now bearing fruit in some
sections of the country where the need
of good roads has been most severely
felt. The Legislature of Texas, which
has recently adjourned, passed an act
for the beginning of the work of road
construction in the state which, if it
should prove effectual in its working,
will doubtless be given wider scope at
subsequent sessions of the lawmalling
assembly until its provisions are wide
enough to embrace every portion of the
state and furnish good roads in all dl.
rections.
AS yet the law applies only to coun.
ties that contain cities and towns OF
considerable Importance, probably be-
cause the imposition of tax sufficient
to meet the expense of the construction
would be more than the sparse popula-
ton in other counties could stand. BY
| the act passed the counties are author
| lied to issue bonds for read Gonstruc-
| ton. The amount of these bonds is &c
| be governed by the assessed valuation
CT the property IN the county issuing
the paper. No larger amount may be
issued than a tax of fifteen mills on the
assessed valuation. The bonds may moi
be redeemable in less than ten or rur
more than forty years, and they may
not be sold at less than their par value
Care is taken in the law to provide
safeguards for the proper eXpenditur,
of the money. Money thus raised may
not be expended for any other purpose
than the construction of roads anC
bridges. These must be built unde,
the supervision of Il competent engi
neer and after a proper survey has beer
made for them. They are to be bull
in substantial and permanent way S,
that they will be passable at all sea
sons of the year and in such way tina
they will be easily kept in proper re
pair Should the act be administers,
in the spirit in which it has bee
passed, it is probable that Texas viii
soon be ahead of most of the othe
western states in regard to good cour

Some Interesting Information About the
Wild Pea Vine.


wild Pea Vine.
American vetch, or wild pea vine,
grows commonly on the prairies OF
Minnesota, South Dakota and west
ward. 1t is very pretty little plant
from one to three feet in height, sup
porting its slender form by clinging
TO the surrounding verdure with its
delicate clasping leaf-tendrils The
flowers are beautiful, of a brilliant
blue or purplish color, and, were the
plant less common, it would be an ac-
QUESTION in any flower garden. Few
flowers can be arranged in such man
ner as to make handsomer bouquet
than these wild pea vines and blossoms.
Where the land has been broken and
lies idle a year these little plants spring
up in great profusion and nearly
through the months of May and June
create lovely natural flower garden,
