Peculiar Experience OF . Man Who Wa

Peculiar Experience Of . Man Who Was
Wounded In the Civil War.
Colonel Sidney Cooke of Harrington,
Kan, one of the managers of the Ma
tional Soldiers home, tells of a peculiar
experience in the army during the civil
war. At the outbreak of the war he was
a strapping New England boy, with
strength and vitality which stood him
well auring his army life.
After taking part in several engage
ments Colonel Cooke was shot in the
head and left Oh the battlefield as dead.
The Federals retreated from the field
and the Confederates soon occupied it.
Colonel Cooke, who was then private,
was aroused to consciousness by some
one Juggling at his boots. The boots
were very fine and the pride of his boy
ish heart, having been given to him by
the dear ones at home.
"Ain't you dead, Yank?' asked the
Confederate as he ceased Juggling to re-
move the boots from the feet of the
wounded boy.
On being assured that Cooke was not
dead a compromise was effected. The
Confederate brought the Union soldier
some water and carried him to Con-
federate surgeon. In return he secured
the coveted boots.
Cooke had long convalescence and
finally recovered sufficiently to be sent
to Andersonvilie prison, where he suffer
ed, in addition to the privations of
prison life, great pain from his wound
This suffering continued even after his
release and his discharge from the army
at the close Of the war;
Ono day, long after the war was over,
Colonel Cooke. who had settled in Kan
sas, was seized with violent spell Of
sneezing. just in the midst Of it the
bullet was expelled from his nose.-Chi-

that is capable of imagining what such
an infinitesimal division of the incom-
prehensible fluid would be? We think
not. The writer has spent his life 'delv-

to be understood by the words 'soul"

who have been spending hours, days and
weeks exploring and investigating in the
bottomless ocean of electrical mysteries,
and who have arrived at some startling
conclusions. That such thing as IAN

lieved in by a number of eminent cleo
tricians and philosophers, among them
the honored Hclmholtz and our own
Thomas A.. Edison.
Working on the theories advanced by
the former, Professor Richarz, a well
known European investigator, has made
some experiments in that line that have
startled even the electricians-men who

1t would be saddening il it were not
infinitely comic to hear of the trials of
one multimillionaire who is always
keenly uncomfortable in his Greek
drawing room because he can never find
q book there. The Greeks, you see, did
not have monthly magazines lying on
their parlor tables. Accordingly the
good gentleman's wife, architect and
furnisher have impressed upon him the
necessity of not spelling the perfect
Athenian atmosphere of the apartment
by the introduction of n-Athenian fea-
lures such as literature. In its zeal for
complete harmony the powerful trium-
virate has not yet issued an order for
bidding the master Of the house to enter
his drawing room except when clad in
the Greek chlamys, but that is because
even architects, furnishers and wives do
not dare to be wholly consistent. Mean

his Gothic library and thinks how in
appropriate it is to read Dickens under
