The Montana Wolf is n Coward. ,

Colonel Jim Struthers of Montana was
in tho lobby of the Shoreham last night,
and talking OF wolves and antelope he
said to the Washington Star: mo, sir,
the wolf isn't such a desperate creature
as fiction and the Imagination of some
time sports have made him. The prairie
wolf will sneak around camp at night
and steal scraps, but as to attacking any
body he isn't as hydrophobiacal as the
civilized cur. The timber wolf hasn't
the most courteous disposition in the
west, but he is cowardly, and a good
gun can stand off a whole menagerie of
them. They come out of the hill timber
at night and go for a calf OIL a heifer,
but they don't like man, and will only
touch him as a last resort. Out in the
west we roll ourselves up in a blanket
right out on the prairie and sleep the
sleep of the righteous, and no Little
Red Riding Hood business breaks our
rest"

Louisiana, 9,714. North Carolina heads
the list in the number that died OF
wounds, and 20,602 Of her sons died OF
disease, and 6,0i7 Virginians. North
Carolina's military population in 1861
was 1l5, 1863, but she furnished 10000
men to the confederate cause. The per-
centage Of lost and killed and wounded
was greater in the confederate armies
than in the union armies, At Gettys-
burg the Twenty-sixth North Carolina,
OF Pettlgrew's brigade, went into action
with over 800 men and lost 5SS in Killed
and wounded and 100 missing, most of
whom were also killed or wounded. Most
of this loss occurred on the morning OF
July ], when this regiment fought the
One Hundred and Fifty-tirst Pennsyl-
vania and Cooper's battery. This Penn
sylvania regiment lost 325 in killed,
wounded and missing at Gettysburg.
The Tw~enty-sixth North Carolina had
only PIG men left for duty when it vent
into Longstreet's assault on the third
day, and on the following day but 81
men were left. On the first day Cap
tain Tuttle's company went into action
with 3 officers and "a men. All the
officers and 50 OF the men were killed or
wounded. On the same day company Z
of the Eleventh North Carolina lost two
officers and "a out of 80 men, killed or
wounded. Captain Bird of this com
pany and the four remaining men then
went into what is popularity called
Pickett's charge. The flag bearer was
shot, and Captain Bird brought out
the flag himself. This was the severest
regimental loss during the a The
percentage of regimental, brigade and
division losses of the confederates was
terrible.
This work teaches the Importance OF
prompt regimeptal reports, and the
United States Military academy should
now TAXI steps to prevent carelessness
in this respect in the next war on the
part of regimental commanders. A
regimental count should be made before
going into action and the casualty list
p%roperlY classified and prepared.

THE BOY OF THE STREETS.
As n Newspaper Fiond no Makes 1t Rough
for tho Old peddlers.

FOR the old Peddlers.
The boy of the streets has an abound
ing sense of the heroic, says the Chicago
Record. He is full of a sentiment which
he has learned while leaning over the
top gallery rail of a theater. 1t is crude
and bOistcrous sentiment, but it is good
in part, for it has taught the boy to peel
his coat in defense of the weak. The
trembling white-haired old fellow who
has been compelled to take up at 20 the
employment intended for boys of I will
not be received with any revereEt con-
sideration along the alley. The boys
will call him "Grandpap," "Whiskers,"
Santa Claus or something else just as
disrespectful, but they will never push
him out of line when he is waiting for
his armload, They will stake" if he
goes broke" and If he is hungry they
will ''divy." 1t is hardly necessary to
say there is a certain pathos in seeing
two comrades come out from the roaring
and s%crambling alley with their papers
under their arms: one is bent and
wrinkled; he couldn't make his voice
heard ten feet through the frightful din
of shrieking youngsters and %rumbling
presses. The other is about the size
of a sparrow, with shoes too large for
him and legs somewhat larger han lead
pencils. The youngster is away like a
flash for q corner where he is known.
The old man putters behind him. If the
boy ~outspeeds him the old mar has the
advantage of q certain business dignity
and he will find customers whom the boy
has overlooked in his haste.

IN MEMORIAM.


Died, at the home of her parents. on Boyle
Heights, Saturday evening, September g, 1894,
MISS MINNIE CUMMINGS, beloved daughter OF
George and Maria l. Cummings.
Onos more the reaper death has carried from
our midst one OF earth's brightest je wells; once
more has the radiant form of youth BEEN
robbed OF life, and dear Minnie, the tender,
loving daughter, the sweet sister, the true
friend, is with US only in spirit--only in the
influence Of her beautiful life. only in the
memory of her sunny smile, her winning
voice, her lovely face, her kindly deeds.
She came to us In the sweet May time-as
beautiful as the flowers that doomed all about
her-and she left us in the tendsr twilight OF a
lovely dsy in the summers waning, leaving in
the hearts of those who loved and cherished
her breathing, pulsing echo as OF
Low, sweet music passed away"
for 30 gentle, stead fast and true was she that
only the influence that clings TO all that is
dearest and best will be felt when her image Is

For seventeen beautiful years, crowned with
fairest gifts of mind and soul she walked lifes
bright pathway-untouehed by its cares or
trials-the fond and idolizsd com panion o. her
mother, the JOY and pride OF her father, the d.
light OF her brothers and little lister. To her
young associates she was ever devoted, sym
loving natuis and gracious manner. that gave
promise Of a we'll rounded womanhood.
Music and flowers were her ever-abiding de-
light; and loves tendercst wish is that Gin the
blessed somewhere" she 10 reveiing in her

NOUS.
1t is sad to think that one so well fitted to
enjoy life's ct DIGEST blessings should be over

"where the brook ana river meet
while there were, on every hand, those to whom
life had become weariness; that This fair
young life should be snapped asunder by the
relentless hand of the grim messenger that hss
SO long passed US by, choosing this love oud
to bloom among the flowers of Eden. But it 10
not for us to know why, or even doubt the wis.,

their weight of woe, we who have suffered IAN
only say tho angel OF patience stands ever near
to strengthen and sustain.
"0h thou who monrnest in thv way,
With longinss for closing dry,
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers, BE resigned,
Bear up, bear up, the end shall tell
The dear Lord doeth all things well.''
And to her, the dear one. only gone little in
advance to wider, grander sphere of action
broader life, where she dreams no m ore, but
realizes all that living means-we cry;
"Gentlest OF spirits, not for thee
Our tears ara SHED, our sighs are given,
Why mourn to know that thou art free,
Partaker of the joys of heaven?
And beautiful as sky and earth,
When autumn's sun is downward going,
Is the blessed memory of thy worth
Around thy place of slumber glowing.
But woe for us who lipger still,
