Drum inner 10y and Hero.

A hundred years ago lOct II, 1893,
the French undertook to relieve The
town Of Mauheuge, OH the SauLre, :hpn
besieged by the AuStrians, and the
Royal Swedish Regiment was sent for
ward to occupy the village of Dourlers.
The drummer boy, IL lad of fourteen,
named Strauh, dodging the Austrian
skirmishers, reached the village first,
and at once beat rousing call 10 arms
on his drum. Thinking the foe had
gained possession Of the village, the
Austrians retired in great disorder,
thereby enabling the French actually
to- get *<4he outskirts Of Dour. .rs.
The Austrians, having discovered
their blunder, returned, and Strauh had
to run for his life. He could not es-
