A YOUTHFUL HERO.
The story of a Drummer Boy Who -
Now Captain In the Army.

InG STORY OF a hummer BOY W no -
Now Captain In the Army
An interesting story is tolc in the
musty pages of an Old wartime Har-
per's Weekly In the Young Mems
Library association and it throws some
light on the question of the youngest
veteran of the union army. Local
flavor is given 30 fle story by the fact
that the person who is entitled 10 this
unique distinction lives right here in

came here few years ago as quarter

the superintendent of which report to
him He is resident of Atlanta and
since his few years residence here has
become as much interested in the de-
velopment Of the city as anyof the old
timers
CTbe manner in which the Harper's
Weekly story above referred to came to
light was the outgrowth of an interest
ing coincidence.
Capt. Glenn lives in West End, where
he owns his own residence, and in
coming to the city a few days ago on a
West End car he engaged in CONVERSE
ton with a friend who was accom-
panied by a companion. Capt. Glen
was the first OF the trio TO leave the car
and the companion Of his friend re-
marked:
who did you say that young man
wasp
THAT is Capt Glen, of the United
States army" was the reply.
Mighty young to be captain, isn't
hep" said the companion.
"Notat all. lie is veteran of the war,
and was old enough to be captain
twenty years ago.
The companion doubted the PROPOSE
tion and thought Capt Clem's friend
must be mistaken. A few days after
wards while in the Young Mems IL
brary, looking over an old war time
issue of Harper's Weekly, which paid
special attention to illustrations from
the field, the companion Of Capt. Clients
friend was amazed to come across "a
picture of the boyish face of the man
whom he had talked TO a short while
before on the West end car On seeing
it and the article accompanying it, he
no longer questioned the statement of
Capt. Clems being a union veteran, but
was SO much pleased at the corroborat-
ing discovery that he asked the Consti-
tuition to reproduce the sketch and arti-
ele from an 1864 issue OF Harper's
Weekly, as follows:

Although the match has long since
supplanted the finder box, thousands of

In addition to the demand this creates,
there are back country regions in Eu-

DICK MOORE WHIPPED.
Fhe St. Paul Boy Knocked Out by
Dan CrcedOn.

rhe St. Paul Boy Knocked Out by
Dan Grcedon.
. Minneapolis, April 2S-Dan Creedon
defeated Dick Moore, knocking him out
in the ninth round. From the start the
men came together hard, and during the
twenty-five minutes which Moore was al
lowed to fight the pace was continuous.
The fight was good one, although it was
apparent from the outset that Creedon
was too strong for the st. Paul boy.
Moore landed plenty of good ones, but
Crecdon was net worried. Moore secured
first blood from the cheek in the third
round. Creedon played for the stomach.
Moore was very tired after the fifth
round, and at the end of the sixth his
right eye was closed. As the seventh
opened it was plain to be seen that Cree
don was fddling, waiting for a Knockout
blow Moore was vicious and tried to
land his right with quietus, but failed.
In the eighth Creedon pushed Moore all
over the ropes, jabbing him, and at the
close found the spot and felled Moore to
his side with a short-arm right. Time
saved him. The ninth was Moore S
Waterloo. Moore came up strong and
rushed Dan, who promptly felled him
again. Moore half-ducked, and Dan gave
short upper-cut with the left on the
point of the jaw. Moore went down on
his side and as the fatal ten was counted
rolled over on his back and spread out
his hands, defeated.

The ice water drinker is just as much
OF "fend" as the morphine eater.
In many cases the habit Of the former
is just as strong as that Of the latter,
and just as hard to break. It has been
frequently demonstrated that the drink
ing Of ice water is an acquired habit,
and not one that comes naturally. Give
an infant ice water and you will notice
by its action that the drink is very dis
tasteful. 1t usually has the same effect
upon an Indian or upon any person not
accustomed to it. Besides, it is very
unhealthy, and any person who can
avoid drinking ice water should do so.
