A SOLDIERS LEGS.
They Are Apt TO Run, hrt the Owners Don
Tell the Experience.

the sApeIiences
People will never tire listening to
war stories," said a veteran the other
day, "but you never hear Of any of
them telling of their running expert
ences. 1t is not because they never run.
for all Of us have been through that
school. No man ever went into battle
but that he was glad when it was over.
The legs of the bravest get very weak
IN the presence of shot and shell, and
bravery, after all, is only matter OF
honor-the man without honor is a cow
ard. The honorable man has nothing to
fear, and in battle he would suffer TO-
600 deaths rather than have comrade
say he failed to do his whole duty. But
as 10 running-yes, l have run. Tell
you about it: Certainly.
Zone afternoon while Twas in charge
of the rear guard on a march in Nir-
ginia a number of men dropped out OF
the ranks for the purpose OF hunting
'applejack. The commanding officer of
the guard ordered Ile to take detach-
ment. return to TIE little town through
which we had pas ed half hour before
and arrest the str gglers. / obeyed the
command and by fast riding soon had
the 'applejack' Ihters in charge. On
the return, as il was late in the day, We
moved at leis' rely pace. A half mile
from the tow a lane crossed the road
ON which we ere travelling This lane
was over a sn all rise Of ground, SO that
one could NOS see very far alons its
stretch.
Between where / was riding and
tie mouth of the lane noticed q sus-
picious object moving along toward us.
It lodged from one corner to another OF
the fence. apparently trying to conceal
itself While wondering what the fel-
low-for by this time / discovered that
the object was a colored man-was up

stop, said the man. Go as fast as you
can. The 'Federates II git you. Dey's
right ober. lie hill. Go as fas' as you
can / gave the order, and away we
went as fast as horses could carry us.
We had Just crossed the mouth of the
lane when the 'Federates' appeared on
the summit of the little hill.
with the famous rebel yell they
came sailing down the lane, shooting
at every jump We put spurs to our
horses and presented as small a target
n possible by lying low on their necks.
1t was a hot race, with the chances in
favor of the Confederacy. For two
miles the 'graybacks' chased us, keep
ing up constant and rapid fire; but
thanks to our horses, we escaped with
out the loss of a man. That was not the
only time that ran, but the story will
suffice for this time. Louisville Cou-

or grease. After being drawn through
this first hole it is put through q series
of smaller ones until it has been brought
down to the requisite size. But the com
preston and disturbance Of the structure
of the rod consequent upon these reduc-
tions have hardened it SO much that at
certain stages it is necessary to stop the
process and soften the metal by anneal-
ing. After this it is again washed in
acid, etc. and the drawing is resumed.
Iron and the harder grades Of steel re-
quire five or six annealings while being
reduced to the finer gauges of wire. But
the manufacture of soft steel and the
details of rolling it into rods have been
80 perfected that soft steel rods can now
be drawn into fence wire without any
cleaning or annealing. After the final
drawing the wire is finished in various
ways, depending upon the purposes for
which it is intended.
No matter Of what metal the wire
may be composed, the same general sys-
tenn of drawing is used, varying more
or less according to the metal Includ-
ing gold, silver, platinum, copper, etc. :,
the commercial sizes of wire run from
one fourth inch to one-seven hundredth
inch in diameter r-Cassier's Magazine.
