slough" but the soul of good humor.
Company D adopted him forthwith as
its mascot, but every company in the
regiment got to feel that it owned "a
part of him, as it were. We cut Jacks
hair and made him keep his face and
hands partially clean, bat don't think
his morals, if he ever had any, i'm
proved under the tuition he received
The Chaplain used to get hold of him
now and then and give him fatherly
talking to, but the boy soon rubbed it
off against the rough and wicked men
in the regiment. When we were on
the march and he got tired out, there
was always some teamster ready to
give him lift, and when fight was
imminent, little Jack was sent to the
rear to be with the wagon train and in
a place of safety.
The boy had been with III o year
when Lee moved down on Pope and
brought on the second battle OF Bull
Run. Our division was at Chantilly,
and you will find 1t on record that we
gave way grudgingly and demanded a
life for every foot we were pressed
back. We were holding our lines like
grim death, when the enemy brought
up reinforcements and redoubled his
exertions and something like panic
was observable for few minutes. 1t
was then that the gallant Phil Kear-
ney met his death--dashing in where
the fire was hottest to inspire our lines
with confidence. Little Jack had been
sent to the rear, but as the til Regi-
ment wavered and fell back, and Com
pany D became mob instead of
company, the boy came dashing up on
q mule he had taken possession of.
Hold onl Hold on !" shouted Little
Jack, in his shrill, boyish voice. "The
old til has never got licked yit, and
Company d hain't goin' to run away
from this fight! Hipl Hurrahl On
it, about facet Go in and give 'em
- *** lll!l! Come on
follow mel"
The mob heightened itself out and
became double line of men again,
and as we breasted forward we carried
the right and left companies and re-
gained the ground we had lost. Thirty
feet in front of us was Little Jack,
waving an old saber bayonet and
shouting at the top of his voice. We
saw him through the smoke and
called to him to fell back, but when
we looked again he had disappeared.
Ten minutes later there was lull in
the firing. A corporal crept forward
in search of the child and found him
aying between two corpses. He had
been struck by three or four bullets
and was dying. The corporal bent
over him and called him by name, and
Little Jack opened his eyes and family
Questioned:

"Did Company D rally?'
"Yes, we are holding the lines. You
rallied the company, jack"
A great light shone in the fast glaz-
ing eyes and the little form was partly
raised up as he gasped:
"Bully fur eth Hurrah hu-!"
We left him with our other dead for
the enemy to bury and in our hearts
we hoped that someone might say as
they looked down upon his little form;
"Why, this is no soldier, only little
child! Lift him up tenderly, and let
someone breathe q prayer as we cover
him in. Detroit Free Press.

On most farms there is little
thought of thinning out flock Of
chickens and disposing of the surplus
until late in the fall. At this time
the price is always low, and though
the cockerels have attained greater
weight, they often do not sell for any
more, If as much, as they would
bring in June or July fol- broilers.
There is early 10 the season a good de-
mand for young spring chickens, and
they sell at surprisingly high prices,

dispose of some Of the surplus this
way and save the expense OF later

The Noted Irish Leader.

Justin Mccarthy, orator, author and
atesman, is a native of Cork, and pos
sesses all of the patriotic fervor OF gen
uine child of that southern capital. In
childhood he received the best education
the schools of Cork could furnish. At
the age Of 16 he joined the profession Of
journalism, beginning as reporter for
the Cork Examiner. While connected
with this paper he, with number OF
other patriotic young men Of the city,
organized the Cork Historical society,
whose members distinguished themselves
in the Young Ireland movement of 1913:
In 1853 he was taken upon the editorial
staff the Northern Times, Liverpool.
His next .aoye was to London, where his
talents we're at once recognized. He was
made reporter in the House of Commons
for the Morning Ssar. The next year,
1861, he became foreign editor and in
1864 editor-in-chief of this great London
daily. In 1868 Mr.. Mccarthy resigned
his position on the Star and for three
years travelled in America. He performed
the remarkable feat of visiting nearly
every considerable town in the country.
He has published eight or ten volumes
of fiction, two volumes of essays, one
volume upon the prohibitory legislation
of different states Of our country-Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Iewa, ETC.
and most Of all "a History OF Our Own
Times" in four volumes. This was pub
lished in 1875, and has already reached
several editions. Mr.. Mccarthy has
been member of parliament from Long
ford county SINCE 1879, having been re-
turned each time unopposed in the three
elections subsequent to his first. He is
one Of the most brilliant Of Irish orators.
At the same time he is trusted, honored,
listened to and read by men Of all parties.

The Bijou.

Inc BJou.
After successful eojourn of spsctacu-
lar burlesque at the Bijou, Manager Lift
has arranged for week of sensational
melo-drama. A matinee, April 30, will
inaugurate the engagement of the Ella
borate scenic production, 1.-THE Struggle
of Life This piece was seen here last
season and by it's strong cast and perfect
scenic appointments scored complete sue
cess. ''The Struggle Of Life is written
in six acts and ten scenes and is founded
on the subject of life in the great city of
New York 1t was first produced at the
Standard Theatre in that city, where it
recorded a most enthusiastic success
The play tells story of to-day, an Inter
esting tale of home and country. 1t is
thoroughly American in it's characters,
scenes and sentiments. Its plot leads a
way through the brilliantly lighted ave-
nues of the great city of New York,
through it's dark and treacherous alleys,
through the gilded palaces of the mil.
lior raires and through the cob-webbed
crime stained haunts of the villain. The
story of the piece is dramatic represen-
tation of occurrences common to the
great metropolis. The dramatis per-
sonae are taken from natural types of
character always found in the larger cities.
The production is under the manage
ment of Walter Sanford, whose dramatic
attractions are all noted for the excel
lence of their scenic embellishments.
He promises that the stage pictures in
the coming production of ''The Struggle
of Life" will outclass anything seen on
the Bjjou stage for some time.

cessful open meeting ever given BY the
A. o. FL. of this city. John T. MCGOWAN
president Of the Division, conducted the
splendid program. His opening, address
which captivated all, was an able effort
and the fine address of Rev. james
O'Reilly was warmly appreciated also
Other enjoyable features of the program
were the singing of Messrs. German and
McGinty, recitation by Miss Mamie
McFadden, exhibition drill by the Hiber-
nian Rifles, song by D. L. Crowley, and
last but not least the songs and char
acter sketches by VIM. O'Brien, who so
pleased the audience that he was re-
called four or five times. The entertain
ment closed with the singing of "God
Save Ireland" by the entire assemblage.
The council committee on salaries met
Tuesday to consider the ordinance con-
solidating the Offices of city weigh mas
ter and city sealer of weights and mea-
sures, both of which are at present held
by A. G. Mosher. The committee could
not see it's way clear to consolidating the .
two Offices and will SO report to the coun-
Gil. It will also recommend that Mr..
Mosher's salary be the same as it was
last year, and that he be allowed the fees
that are collected for the inspection of
scales and measures. w. B. Jones, the
clerk OF the city assessor, made kick
on the reduction of his salary by the
committee. He claimed that in 1892 he
received 81 ,399.5O as salary and for extra
duties, while for this year his salary was
fixed at $1,000. After little debate he
was allowed $1,400, an increase of so
cents over his last years salary.
The action of Maurice Fitzgerald,
John Kinnain, Simon Lyons and John
Curtin against the Hennepin County
Catholic Building and Loan Association
was tried before Judge Hicks Thursday.
Messrs. Gallagher and Kinnane appear
ing for the association and T. E. Byrnes
for the plaintiffs. It appears that by
law in the rules says thatpayments shall
be made on nine-year basis. The ar
guments of. the plaintiff were to the Of
feet that the bylaw referred to makes
the mortgages and securities null after
nine years, it the payments have been
kept up, while the arguments of the de-
fendant we're to the effect that the by
law was only intended for such as de-
sired to withdraw from the association,
when a settlement is to be made on the
nine-year basis. The facts were stipu-
lated upon, the arguments of attorneys
being the only thing before the court.
Judge Hicks, at the close of the argu-
ments, decided the case for the plaintiffs.
This decision is of great Importance to
the association for if the ruling OF
Judge Hicks is sustained there are
twenty-four other borrowers in the
tenth series who will refuse to make
payments on their mortgages for longer
period than nine years, and the same
ruling will also have similar effect on
all succeeding series. The attorneys for
the association have petitioned the court
for new trial and if refused the case
will go to the supreme court. Judge
Hicks in giving his decision took occa-
sion to show the weak points in the by
laws which have governed the associa-
tion for many years past.

Grand Opera.

The engagement Of the charming
conedienne. Annie Pixley, at the Grand
next week will be one oft events Of the
season. Miss Plxley has been absent
from the stage for q year; and will make
her re-entree in new comedy by VIM.
Gill, entitled. "Miss Blythe, of Duluth" !"
Hiss Pixley's methods of comedy work
have been discussed so often that it is
not necessary to call attention to the
manner in (which she makes her points.
Her style is essentially her own. There
is an originality, breeziness, and a
wholesomeness in all that she does which
is pleasing to the better class of theatre
goers, and she has magnetic presence
and exerts q fascination which is half
the battle. The part she played per
mitted her to bubble over with the spirit
of fun, to capture her audience by the
exercise of her natural good humor, and
to present moment or two of genuine
high comedy in which the element of
pathos was dominant,and it also afforded
splendid opportunities for the introduce
ton of musical numbers, without which
q play by this actress would hardly be
deemed complete. "Miss Blythe of Du-
luth" will be given the first three nights
Of the week and Wednesday matinee,
and "The Deacon's Daughter" the latter
part Vt the week. Both matinees will be
at popular prices, 25 and 50 cents.
