A HERO UNDER FIRE.
Reward of a Soldier for UncOnsciOu
Bravery In Battle.

Reward of n Soldier for Unconscious
Bravery In Battle.
From the Youths Companion.
An old soldier, Who Rad seen service for
many year in the Crimea. India, China,
Africa and Egypt, was asked one day in
London club whether he remembered the
first tire he was under fire.
Certainly he replied. mo soldier ever
forgets that experience"
Did you feel like a hero at the timer
NO indeed. 1t was in one of the great
battles of the Cr:nea. 1 was young Off
Ger who had run out Of the military school
ahead of time to fill vacancy. I had
hardly been in camp week before the
battery. which was posted in a command
ing position. We went forward on the gal
lop through a dense cloud of smoke, swoop
ed down on the battery, Sabered the artil-
lerymen and captured the guns. We lost
many Of our men. but it was very bril-
liant charge. Yet there was at least one
hussar who acknowledged himself to be a
coward from beginning to end"
Then you were terribly frightened by
your first battle?
Yes, that is the truth. / went ahead
with the others, but i was trembling with
fear and excitement i shut my eyes and
made no attempt to guide my horse.
thought of my good mother at home. and
wondered how i had ever been so foolish
as to think of the army, when there were
comfortable profes sions like the ministry
and the law. which i might have followed.
The charge occupied only few minutes,
but ii seemed an endless time before we
were behind those murderous guns and had
the cannoneers at our mercy. / was
among the first to be with them and I
staggered with my saber, while the horse
rode down and killed gunner. But my
heart was like a ball of ice. A greater
coward never scrambled over an intrench-
ment- All the time l repeating texts
from the Bible and sentences from the
Lcrd's Prayer, and wishing myself thou
sands of miles away"
The veteran laughed heartily over the
"reminiscences of the first battle.
The funniest part of it," he added,
was that they considered 1t a great ex-
ploit. and insisted upon giving me medal
for my heroic and courageous conduct,
when l was a white-faced. mean-spirited
coward from first to last, and my horse
did all the fighting for me. trampling the
gunner under foot"
Probably the veteran exaggerated his
boyish trepidation and panic. He could
have afforded to do So for he was a sea-
sone1 soldier, whose courage and even
recklessnesS were well known, but he was
rot far from the truth when he declared
that no soldier ever felt like a hero when
he was first under fire.

William S. Walsh has written Handy
Book of Literary Curiosities,' from which
the following were selected: An Irishman
got out OF his carriage at railway sta
ton for refreshments, but the bell rang
and the train left before he lad finished
his repast. "Hould orr cried Pat, as he
ran like mailman after the car; "hould
on. ye murther'n ould stame injin; you've
got passenger on board that's left be-
hind"
MY dear, come in and go to bed,' said
the wife of a jolly son of Erin who had
just returned from the fair in decidedly
how-come-you-so state; you must be
dreadful tired, sure, with your long walk of
six miles "Arrah. get away with your
nonsense said Pat; "it wasn't the length
of the way at all that fatigued me; twas
the breadth of it,
A domestic newly engaged presented to
his master one morning pair of boots,
the leg of one of which was much longer
than the other
How comes it that these boots are not
of the same length?'
Il rally don't know, sir; but what bothers
me the most is that the pair downstairs
are in the same fix"
An Irishman having feet of different sizes
ordered his boots to be made accordingly.

the smallest boot on his largest foot he
exclaimed. petulantly: "Confound that fell
low! ordered him to make one larger than
the other and instead of that he has made
one smaller than the other"
Two 1rishmen were working in quarry,
when one Of them fell into a deep quarry
hole. The other. alarmed, came to the
margin of the hole and called out: AR
rah, Pat, are We killed entirely? If yere
dead, spake." Pat treasured him from tie
bottom by saying in answer: mo, Tim,
I'm not dead, but I'm spacheless."
An Irish hostler was sent to the stable
to bring forth a travellers horse Not
knowing which of the two strange horses
belonged to the traveller, and wishing to
avoid the appearance of ignorance in his
business, he saddled both animals and
brought them to the door. The traveller
pointed out his own horse, saying: That S

Certainly, yer honor; 1 know that: but
I didn't know which one of them was the

Wished to Die Without Trial.


From the Chicago Record.
George Anderson demanded sentence of
death and Judge Ellison endeavored to in
duce him to make a legal fight for his life
In the circuit court at Macon. Mo-, today.
Anderson killed his wife with a hammer
and razor, then cut his own throat, but re-
covered. and has been in Jail here ever
since. After the Indictment was brought
charging him with murder in the first de-
gree, he was asked by Judge Ellison how
he wanted to plead. He promptly answer
ed guilty. The court asked him IL he knew
the consequences of such a plea would re-
suit in death. He said he did. and was
ready to meet It, The court told him to re-
turn to the prisoners box while he con-
suited with the attorneys. -
Afterward the judge called Anderson and
told him he would withdraw his plea of
guilty for him, and ordered a trial to begin
at o'clock tomorrow. Anderson showed
no emotion whatever, and simply said he
would as soon be sentenced to death by the
court before trial as by jury afterward.

perhaps the most historic tree in the coun-

whereon the famed Jackson Dickerson duel
was fought, years ago. and under it's
spreading branches Dckerson reclined,
awaiting medical attendance after being
