GAFFNEY WAS PLucKY.


He Lived After Silk Handkerchief Had
Been Drawn Through His Body.
"They are fanking the brigade
and charging the battery
The words we're uttered by an
officer who had sufficiently recovered
from the stunning a gunshot wound
had given him to raise his head and
reply to the salutation of his brigade
commander. 1t took place on the
field of Antietam early in the day,
and the man who spoke was Edward
S. Bragg, then lieutenant colonel,
commanding a regiment. A bullet
had struck his arm, inflicting pain
full wound, paralyzing it.
General John Gibbon, the brigade
commander, was riding rapidly to
give directions to the battery when
he saw Colonel Bragg lift up his
head. "Old man, are you hurt? You
are very white, said Gibbon.
mo. They are thanking the bri-
gade and charging the battery"
It was one of those occasions when
a lieutenant colonel presumed to
give directions to his general.
In few minutes the colonel was
able to walk to the field hospital.
Surgeon Bartlett and Bragg had
often bantered each other When
Bartlett saw the colonel, he said: $50
you have come to see me. Have
been expecting all the morning to be
called upon to amputate your head.
What is the matter, colonel?"
Il don t know. If did, I wouldn't
come here. want to find out. y
Where are you hit?"
In the arm. Can't you seer"
lis it broken?"
You are paid to tell me if it is
broken"
The doctor took the limp, helpless,
hurt arm, felt of it hurriedly and
said, Bragg, if any other man IN
the army had been hit as you were,
he would have had broken arm,
but your arm isn't broken"
Thank you. Tie this handker-
chief around my neck and hitch it
to my hurt arm, doctor. y
What are you going to do?"
lam going back to the regiment.
Better let me dress your wound
first.
Never mind the wound You
can dress that tomorrow. :" And the
pluoky little warrior, who more than
earned all of his ranks from private
to brigadier, rejoined his fighting
and dreadfully deoimated regiment
On his way back the colonel saw
a man of his old company. Hello,
Nick! What's the matter?"
Il am shot, colonel I'm going to
die.
mo, Gaffney, you are not going
to die. Let me see your wound :"
The boy pointed to blue spot on
his breast. You're all right, chick
en-" Then the colonel put his hand |
over the wound and said:
Take long breath.
Poor Nick took a long breath, but
it hurt him like the cut of a knife,
and the colonel's hand was covered
with blood. The shot had struck
him in the breast and gone clear
through.
In telling of the incident years
afterward General Bragg said: II
told the poor fellow he was all right,
but | didn't believe it. I didn t see
then how fellow shot through the
lung could survive.
Nick Gafney is still living and
apparently strong man. The sur
geon drew a silk handkerchief
through his body soon after he went
to the hospital 1t makes you shud-
der, doesn't it? 1t made poor Nick
vince, but he uttered no
sound.
Colonel Bragg remained with his
regiment the balance of the day, but
when the battle was over the reac-
ton came, and he had to give up for
a time.-Chicago Times-Herald.

says, concerning the use of hot and cold

bathing the eyes there are cases where
cold is required and that the patient
should decide for himself, giving tRe
preference TO that which the more
quickly relieves the pain and leaves 10
bad effects. Hot water is generally con
sidered TO be far better than cold fbi

Why the Lady Bird Is Spotted.

The first ladybird was gentleman bird,
And a fierce warlike fellow at that.
He wore long sword, and he felt very proud
When he put on his martial cooked hat.
One fine afternoon in the month of July
He set out an adventure to seek.
1.-THE times are too peaceful, " he grumbled,
"by far,
For I've not drawn my blade for a week"
A hornet few by, and the breeze from its
wings
Blew away the cooked hat Of our friend.
HALT at oncel' he exclaimed. sin a quarrel
like this
We must fight to the bitterest end"
Then the combat began. 1t was parry and
thrust
For an hour upon Grasshopper plain,
But the gentleman bird proved no match for
his foe
he was wounded again and again.
The fairy queen happened to come with her
suit
To that spot by the light Of the moon,
And she found the poor duelist stretched at
full length,
With his sword by his side in a swoon.
"Brng court plaster" she cried. "We have
plenty at court,
And he needs patching up, on my word"
So her fays set to work TO attend to the cuts
Which dsfgured the gentleman bird.
Round pieces of plaster were stuck on his back
In neat and methodical way,
And the fairyland gossps declare that Is why
His descendants are spotted today.

Tommy Atkins Marvellous Escapes.

One of the worst storms that ever
visited the English coast took place in
1903, when SO many ships were destroy
ed that the gale became historic. A
man-of war named Mary, with Rear
Admiral Beaumont aboard, struck on
the Goodwin sands, and every soul per-
ished except one. This sole survivor of
a crew Of 270 was called, curiously
enough Thomas Atkins. He was car.
ried by big wave right off his own
ship and planted OH the Stirling Castle,
a vessel that was being borne broadside
on to the fatal sands. While she was
being smashed to atoms one of her
boats was washed away, and at that self
same moment huge sea flung Atkins
overheard, and he fell in the small
boat. This little craft bobbed about on
the angry waters, and in the end Atkins
managed to reach shore. But two such
escapes Of such a similar character are
little short of marvellous. Indeed one
would hesitate to believe them were
they not accepted as fact by SO capable
historian of the sea as Mr.. Clark
Russell.

The Pitcher Plant.

In the swampy regions of India and
China plant is found which has very
curious leaves. Each leaf has the mid
rib prolonged TO great extent, far be
yond the leaf proper, and terminating
in very singular pitcher, from which
the plant derives its common name Of
pitcher plant. This again terminates
in lid, which is regarded by botanistt
as the true blade of the leaf. In this
pitcher a fluid is found which comes
from the plant itself and is probably
necessary for its nourishment. This
fluid, which is said to contain some pot
ash, varies much in quantity, some
times only drop or two, but Otter
there is enough to drown any inquisi
tive insect that may venture inside
and such insects are frequently found
in the pitcher

A Cricket Loving Parson.

Pebmarsh, village in Essex, is some-
what difficult of access but a pretty,
peaceful parish. For some 40 years the
Rev. the Hon. Edward Harbottle Grim
ston, brother of the better known Bob
Grimston of Harrow, the great cricketer,
was the squarson Of Pebmarsh. He would
employ no curate who could not sustain
the family credit at the wicket, and
when his govt would not let him play
he would look on at the game. Late in
life, to the establishment of Bishop
Claughton, ourate who was fair
cricketer but famous musician reused
him to restore his church, and ON the
day of its opening, when there was an
evening service, Mr.. Grimston told the
bishop that he had never in his life
been at church after o'clock in the aft
ernoon Westminster Gazette.

Apureciated Scotch

A well known learned Judge, who
was keen politician before his promo

plain Q. O. to help the Liberal candi-
date for a Scotch borough. He began a
speech with Scotch story, but failing
in giving the "awccent" with due en-
phasis the story fell fat, and the audi
ence began to murmur. The practiced
orator changed his key and resumed in
his natural and stento1ian voice. Gen
tlemen, l do not speak Scotch, but l

lowed, whereupon our O. G. proceeded,
no doubt very reprehensibly, And Of
