HOW IT FEELS TO BE SHOT,

Gen. Miles Gives His Sensations When Wounded In tho Civil War.
 Interview with Gen. Miles, in the
 Bloomington Pantagraph: "You have
 been wounded several times, general.
 How does it feel to be shot?"
 That depends upon where the ball
 strikes you," replied Gen. Miles. If it passes through the fleshy part of the
 body without hitting the bone, it is a half mile away before you realize that you are shot. If it meets with resist ance, however, you get the full force of the bullet. and it strikes you like a sledge hammer. Twas shot in the neck. The ball cut along the side of my throat, under my ear and passed on. AtChan- celIorsville ball struck my waist-beIt plate and then deflecting went into my body. The blow paralyzed me. could not move for weeks from my waist downward, and everyone thought 1 would die. was taken home to Mass achusetts, and after few days sur prised the doctor by moving my right foot. They took this for sign that the ball was in the opposite side of the body and probed for it, laying the bone of my hip bare. They found the bone broken and took out nine pieces, leaving one, which they failed to find. They found the bullet several inches further down than these pieces of broken bone. At another time l was wounded in the shoulder by the half of bullet. Twas holding my sword up to my shoulder when the bullet struck the edge of the blade and was cut in two, one-half of the bullet flying on and the other going into my shoulder. At another time i| was wounded in the foot, the ball strik. ing Mexican spur that was wearing and going off into my foot. By the way. l think I have the spur.- Here the general opened drawer in his desk and pulled out big Mexican spur. which was broken on one side. The break was caused by the bullet strik ing the spur.

charge at about two p. m. just south
 of the Purdy and Hamburg road, south
 of the peach orchard at the Bell house.
 Johnston sent Harris to lead the Forty.
 fifth Tennessee regiment in the charge. When he returned he met Johnston on the ridge just southeast of the Bell
 house. He rode up to him and saw he
 looked pale. He said to him: General, aren't you wounded?" He said: "Yes,
 and fear seriously" He saw Johnston
 reel in bis saddle. When he rode up to him, he took his bridle reins, placed one arm around Johnston to steady him and rode with him back to deep
 ravine, when he helped him off his
 horse and laid him down under a tree. He called to passing confederate sol dier to go to the front, along the line where they were fighting, and ask the officers for flask of whisky and bring it to him at once. This the soldier did, and he gave Gen. Johnston drink, which he swallowed. He gave him second drink, but he could not swallow 1t, and turned his head to one side and let it run out of his mouth. Just then Col William Preston, of Kentucky, brotber-in-law of Gen. Johnston, rode up and, jumping off his horse, ran to him, placing his arm under his head, and implored him to say something to him, but aN he could do was to open his eyes and recognize him. He died in a few minutes. They were alone with the dend commander, and the battle was going on.
 Johnston's horse had died from the wounds he had received at the time of the charge and Harris horse had run away. It was agreed that Harris should go and notify Beauregard of Johnston's death, and Col. Preston would remain with the body and have it taken back to Shiloh church, which was done, and I from there it was taken to Corinth, Miss, and to New Orleans, La., where the remains are buried in the beautiful vault of the monument of the Southern Society of the Army of the Tennessee.
 The federal troops against which Gen. Johnston led the charge were the | Ninth Illinois, Forty-frst Illinois anl l Thirty-second Illinois infantry, who so | stubbornly held the position south of the Hamburg road on April 6. 1869.

shattered lines frightened at her com
 ing, while rough voices softened as they blessed her. Then came Lettie Falconer, the colonel's pretty sister, whose presence soon became as welcome as that of the other ministering spirit, whose superior faith and intuition had led the way. And so the days passed by with these shattered hulks in dry dock, as it were, and the great struggle at the front drawing to a close. Next 10 Col. Falconer's cot was that of Col. Poindexter, of the confederate army, also severely wounded, and between these two men of opposite views, but kindred courage and devotion, grew up a deep and lasting friendship. Such friendships were neither few nor far between in those days, and, thank God, they have multiplied like white roses and gold-heart daisies since then, until now they dot the fields with peaceful beauty and fill the once heated air with fragrance. Lettie Falconer wore blue nearly all the time, her union colors, as she saucily said, and so she, too, be- came factor in the hospital coloring of blue and gray. Here in this world of suffering there were pleasantmoments, and the blue of heaven seemed so clear and translucent that they thought they caught glimpses of the great White Throne on the day the surgeon assured them that Col. Falconer would live. Those who saw Ruth that day saw face so radiant that it seemed to wear halo of celestial light reflect cd from some unseen source far away.
 One glad day weeks thereafter came tidings of peace. There was among the men in gray deep sadness for the cause lost, cause winch had cost thefh so much in treasure, so much in price less human lives; but higher than this scared their thankfulness because car mage was ended and human passions no more to flash forth in flame and to subside in shallow graves along which bivouacked the silent soldiers who await the last grand review. There were congratulations. preparations for departure, and fitting to the plantn ton home of Col. PondeXter as invited guests. It was in the woods of north ern Louisiana where the Spanish moss festooning the trees, the greenish blue

as merciful butchers. pruned men as though they were trees placed ready for their knives and saws-all part of that stern discipline through which north and south became better ac- quainted, first as foes, later as conquer ors and conquered, later still as friends. And out of this furnace emerged truth triumphant, union forged and annealed under the hot hammers of war, flag made sacrad forever by the conflict through which the cause it represented bore charmed life, though thousands of its brave defenders fell.
 In this and many succeeding bat ties Frank Falconer bore himself nobly. and then one day when the war neared its end he fell and was taken, wounded, into the camp of the enemy. He was reported killed, and there was mourning among his comrades and at home. He had won promotion, too, and was colonel of the regiment when he met with this mishap. Tried in the heated crucibles of conflict, his man. hood had stood the test, and his talis- man in every emergency had been the miniature of his fancee near his heart, her better defined image in his soul, and the letters breathing love and devo- tion which she never failed to send with faithful regularity. When news of his death arrived, the gentle girl who had wept at his departure and in many lonely hours since shed not a single tear now. With quiet energy she start ed to the front, secured passes through the lines, and one day there came soft ly to the side of Col. Falconer's cot in the roughly improvised hospital a lit- tie figure in silver gray costume, with the same loyal blue eyes, from which shone immeasurable, unfathomable af- lection. There was glad and joyful meeting in the soft twilight shadows, meeting once more of blue and gray. Men saw the happy look which trans figured the pale face on the cot and the angel face bending OCT it, but God alone saw the transfguration in each loving soul, where the azure light of hope replaced those gray shadows of grief wherein the death angels wing had come between the tired spirit and the trust which aids the angs; of healing in turning such sad cases from the verge of the dark valley. The gentle girl, watchful ever of her lover's needs, was thoughtful, too, of others, and in a.few days eyes all along those

 Col. E. T. Lee, of Monticello, ILL, see
 retary of the Shiloh Battlefield asso' citation, was the organizer and origina- tor of the movement to make the Shiloh battlefield a national memorial park. He enlisted in the army in July, lS6l' and served over four years in the For ty-first Illinois infantry, participating in all the battles and marches in which his regiment took part, including Fort Henry, Fort Donaldson, Shiloh, both days battles, Corinth, Hatchie river, Vickesburg, Jackson, Miss- the march to the sea and through the CarollnaS. He entered the service in his 16'h year. He was wounded in his right hand anu shoulder in the terrible charge at the second battle at Jackson, Miss- on July 1s. 1863, when Pugh's brigade was a'' most annihilated. He has made study of the battle of Shiloh for many years, and is familiar with all the details ot that terrible conflict. During the last two years he has devoted almost his en- tire time and energies to the organiza- tion of the Shiloh Battlefield assocla- ton and the work of securing from congress the passage of the bill for tho purchase of the Shiloh battlefield TOT a national memorial park. which mas now been accomplished. and thls la nous battlefield will be preserved as the memorial for the survivors or '"' army of the Tennessee, the ono aAA the Mississippi.

of the cypress foliage, together with the blue uniform of Falconer and tie
 blue dress of his sister still displayed
 the tints prevailing in the pictures
 with which this story deals, the study in blue and gray. It was noticeable, also, that Col. Poindexter's gray uni form and Miss Lettie's blue dresses were often seen wandering together, and that inside them at such times were the wearers, not at all averse to the near neighborhood of these once con fticting colors. One evening Col. Fal- coner, coming hurriedly around the little pavilion in the grounds, found the gray sleeves around his sisters shapely waist, and really did not seem greatly astonished or overcome. Then came explanations, pretty confusion upon the part of the girl in blue, play full chidings from her brother because of this easy surrender to the confeder- acy. followed, of course, by sincere congratulations and 6 brothers bless ing. most willingly and heartily given. Evidently the blues and grays in the picture were mixing, but the general effect was pleasing and artistic, Poin- dexter being dark and stalwart, Lettie sunny-haired blonde of wiflowy form and delicate features. Falconer and Poindexter had but two arms between them, but two such arms were better than a million belonging to mere par Tor pets and perambnlating taiiors' dummies. The young ladies were more than satisfied; what matter, therefore, what cavilers and critics might say?
 And not long after they all went home. Poindexter had no near rela- lives; his plantation had been despoiled in great measure during the war, and he had ample wealth in other forms. So he went to Pennslvania with his friends and became a resident there. The double wedding at which these we'll assorted pairs were married was pleasant picture. The interior of the old church had been furnished lopp years before in pleasing tone of neu- tral gray. Ruth wore silver.s-rav ,, wedding dress and Poindexter O grav uniform. Then there were the blue uniform of Falconer, the favorite blue in which his sister was married. the boys in blue who turned out to their commanders wedding, the spotless blue sky above from which the sun sent golden strands to brighten the burhished tresses of those beauteous

There are few gourmets in Honolulu
who 90 not know our Maltese Cross
Hams. They are cured expressly for US
and are infinitely better than any other
ham on the market for boiling or roasting.
This brand of ham is from selected stock
and is in the pickle uniform Number Of
hours. They cost trihe more than Ordi-
nary hams, but they are fifty Ter cent.
better in quality.
If you want to roast one of these hams
here's good recipe: Put It in cold water
and let it soak overnight, then pour of
the water, wipe the ham dry and put it
into the kettle again, cover with fresh
water and boil for three hours. Then
take it out, scrape the rind when cool, put
it into another kettle and pour four pints
of cider over 1t and then enough water to
cover. Put in bay leaf, cloves, allspiee
and cinnamon, and allow It to boil slowly
for two hours more, never letting the wa
ter boil over. Then take it out, wipe 1t
thoroughly and dust it with powdered
sugar and cloves, sticking whole spices
here and there in the fat. Put into the
oven and bake for an hour and a half.
The Maltese Cross Hams are the only
ones suitable for cooking in this way and
