HIS AMPUTATED LEG ACHES

Lester Maxwell, who lives near here,
was passenger on the Katy train that
was wrecked near Waxahachie Nov. l,
and had a leg broken in the wreck. He
was brought to Hillsboro on the next
train, and his wounds dressed by
physicians. About week ago the
limb got to paining him so badly that
physicians amputated 1t. 1t was buried
with the bandsges on it, He appears
to be doing fairly we'll, but at times
complains of the missing limb hurting
him. Today the pains got so severe in
the toes of the missing limb he could
not endure it and begged that 1t be
taken up to see if something was not
the matter with it. The sexton, John
Harris, who dug it up, says: "When it
was disinterred the toes and foot were
age. I cut it, and at almost the same
minute the pains ceased troubling
him Not long afterward he complain
ed that his knee was paining him in the
same manner as the foot had been, and
begged that it be also taken up. When
it was taken up it WAS as tight as the
toes had been, and the same relief fol-
lowed when the bandsge on the foot
was cut"
The case was considered very re-
markable. The physicians do not at
tribute the relief attendant on the cut
ting of the bandages to the fact of their
being cut. They say the same relief
would have been obtained by pretend
| ing to have done SO. Cases are not in
frequent where men who have had one
or more limbs amputated complained
of extreme heat or cold in the ampu-
tated members, but that is accounted
for by the fact of the nerves of such
being acted on by the heat or cold. But
the phenomenon of today cannot be ex.
planned on any logical reasoning

THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. BY STEPHEN
CRANE D. Appleton IL Co., New York. For
sale by Stoll & Thayer.
It will be long time before another
modest little book will attract so much
attention as this one has done. One
reads it with an interest he can not
define. There is no plot and the style
is 30 natural and commonplace that
one wonders what curious current
carries him along with the recital.
Here is picture of an army waiting:
"The cold passed reluctantly from the
earth and the retiring fogs revealed en-
| army stretched out on the hills, rest
ing. As the landscape changed from
brown to green the army awakened,
| and began to tremble with eagerness at
| the noise of rumors. 1t cast its eyes
upon the roads, which we're growing
from long troughs of liquid mud to
proper thoroughfarss. A river, amber
! tinted in the shadow of its banks,
| passed at the army's feet; and
| at night, when the stream had
become sorrowful blackness, one
could see across it the red, eye-like
CLEANS of hostile campfires set in the
| low brows of distant hills" Surely
this is marvel of grace and strength
of speech-"eye-like CLEANS of camp
fires set in the low brows of distant
hills"! What soldier has not watched
these many night in his long guard
rounds
But one lovely morning there came
the clatter Of galloping hoofs and the
army was hurried away in two thin,
silent columns. "The rushing yellow
-, of the developing day went on behind
their backs. When the sunrays at last
struck full and mellowingly upon the
earth, the youth saw that the landscape
was streaked with two long, thin, black
brow of the hill in front, and rearward
vanished in wood. They were like
two serpents crawling from the cavern
of the night!
And 80 on, through 200 pages, goes
the simple, enthralling story of the
youth who saw the fierce and
; ever-changing phases of great
war-our own war of the
rebellion. Nothing 80 good has
ever been written about it, It is true
to the life, apparently 30 much better
than mere study, and yet it must
have been study, for the author never
could have seen anything of the tre-
mendous things of which he writes
and herein is the marvel of it all. He
who takes up the book cannot leave it
until he has read every line of it. And
more than this, he will read over parts
of it many times, and with renewed
wonder at it's vividness. His descrip-
tion of the struggling, swaying line of
battle, the babble OF wild cries, the
crimson flash of the rifle in the dull

clouds of smoke, and the mad dancing
of the colors as they are borne hither
and thither, are all made SO clear and
enhancing that we can neither take
our minds or eyes from them. Nothing,
not even a single battle picture, in all
we have ever read of conflict, has, to
our mind, been finer than this whole
creation. One forgets all about style
of expression. Indeed, it seems almost
mean to speak of the few grammatical
errors that one comes across in this
tumult Of descriptive writing. Once
or twice the author has gotten tangled
up with the dreadful infinitive mood,
but this has slain its thousands even
outside of battle-pictures, and 80
should be passed unheeded here.
To the old soldier this book will be
most welcome. 1t may even be fairly
doubted if any others can see all the
good things in it. They alone know
what a "jimhicky" of chap he is who
seizes the fallen colors and rushes with
them through the red flame Of the
csnnon's discharge. And they have
seen the "jimdandy" colonel in fight,
who in the pinch of the game, could
"open a new box" of the right kind of
swearing. In short, this is a great
book; the best new thing of the season
of new books-that is, the most strlk-
ingly original and effective. He who
fails to read it misses great treat.

AWAY BACK IN WAR DAYS

During reconstruction days Captain
Rube Clark and his lieutenant, Rey-
nolds, guerrillas, we're cast into prison
and sentenced to be shot. Clark had
powerful friends, who we're confident
of his release, but Reynolds, from
Memphis, was without hope of succor.
The prison at Knoxville, Tenn, was an
iron cage in big room, whose window
had no sign of a glass, and through
the long winter CLARK and Reynolds
we're confined there. For several
months they suffered the agonies of
the damned. At last as the time
for Reynolds execution approached
it was noticed that he was going crazy.
Clark declares to this day that Rey-
nolds did not touch morsel of food
for three weeks. He would moan and
sigh and twirl his thumbs after the
manner OF crazy person. recognize

Clark was sure of his insanity. Army
surgeons and local physicians passed
upon the case and Reynolds was finally
discharged as lunatic.
Clark's friends finally secured his
release and hurried him out of Knox

him-two of his old soldiers-and
drove toward the mountains as hard

looked at the wreck of his faithful Of

One of the soldiers shut the door
locked it and approached the bedside
"It's all right, Reynolds, this is the

Reynolds tore off the blanket, sprang

of several other outputs of the literary

reviewers are doing about this time is
to be highly commended. Why so few
really just reviews have been written
these later years, even in excellent

literature. Why should not he who

read it and write about it as honestly

Mr.. Stead, the irrepressible, is out
with new proposition. He proposes
to start the publication Of library of
condensed novels-"masterpie of
literature" as he defines the works.
For instance, if a book now contains
10000 words, and this is too bulky for
| popular use, he proposes to condense it
to, say, $4,000 or 10000 words. promis-
ing, meantime, to retain all it's good
points, even to the aroma of the
original. And this is serious under
taking, though it reads like joke. He
will begin this very month, taking Ri
| der Haggard's 8 She for the initial num-
Der of the proposed new library. Let
us venture the prediction that the plan
will not succeed. We have never yet
! found any large class of readers who
took kindly to anything of the sort.
Readers can do their own condensing
| by way CT skipping what they don't
want to read carefully; and as for edit

stranger come between them and the
author.
