The DRUMMER BOY.
A Touching story by an Army Hos
Ditnl Nurse,

The following story is told by one of
the noble women who cared for the suf-
fering soldiers in the great civil war:
On entering heu hospital ward one
morning, she was attracted by one of
the new faces She saw there. 1t was a
child's face, and it wore a smile.
His name is Henry -, not yet IL,
but he has been in the army over three
years." the attendant said.
The nurse went to the cot where he
lay.
Good morning, mother" he said,
cheerfully, holding out thin hand.
You dear little fellow, how came
you here? You are so young"
My father was drafted, and l got
\ Nthem to take me with him for drum
mer-boy. I've got no mother, nor broth
ers nor sisters"
'Ah, so you called me mother. You
do need some one to take mothers place,
I'm sure"
"Yes'm. The boys told me you would
take care of me-"
And where is your father?"
He was killed three months ago at
w dS w nouLluCu NY
hip-same ball that killed my father.
The surgeon says l shall be a cripple al
ways"
Th eyes of the nurse were growing
moist. MY little boy looks very happy,
after all. What makes you SOP" she
asked.
The child pulled little Bible from
under his pillow and replied: I'm the
Bible it says: When my father and my
mother forsake me, then the Lord will
take me up If L get well, and try to
be good, 1 guess l shall have home
somewhere. If 1 don't get well, l am
sure l SHALL"
There was more than one deeply in
terested listener now; and each had
some new q""stion to ask the lad. Child
like faith like his was rare, even in the
hospital, where it was common for men
to feel that they could not die unless
they listened to hymn or prayer.
My little lad" some one asked, who
taught you to trust in Code"
MY mamma, until she died; then my
papa"
When he got better, he was heard one
Sunday morning plaintively to say:
81 wish l could go to Sunday school,"
Then there followed a pleasant sight.
Two of the ward attendants said: Get
the child ready. Well look after him."
They crossed their hands, and car
ried the cripple to Sunday school every
Sunday while he was in camp. But
they did not go alone. By ones and
twos and threes the big soldiers fol-

sneaker did not continue these per-

relieve his mind Of that which was
uppermost, says the Detroit Free Press,
"a friend Of mine invited me to ac-

THE WAR IN EUROPE.
SEVERE FIGHTING BETWEEN
GREEKS AND TURKS.
the Second Day After the Com
mencement of Hostillties, the Chances
for the Future Seemed to BE In Favor
OF the Greeks. -s.'-

Athens is wildly rejoicing over the
latest news from the Turkish frontier.
Gen. Smolenitz, ex-minister Of war, is
in command of $4,000 Greeks at Re-
veni, not far from Tyrnavos, northwest
Of Larkosa. At this point Edhem
Pasha, closely pressed, was nearly talk
en- prisoner. Gen. Demopoulos, at the
head of one Greek division, forced the
Turkish line at Boughazl, close to
Tyrnavos and Gen. MavromOchale
broke through at Koniskos. The two
generals united their troops near Da-
mast.
The news Of this success at ~Reveni
and of the imminent fall of PreVesa
has changed the dismay caused at Ath-
ems by the loss of Milouna into the
widest rejoicing. The Greeks report
that the Turks lost 1000 killed and
wounded at Reveni, but this estimate
is probably excessive. 1t is stated that
the Turkish forces attacking Reveni
numbered more than 10000 men.
Tuesday the Greeks, after a desper-
ate battle, captured and burned DAM
ash. Another division of the Greek
troops traversed the Rcveni pass and
captured three blockhouses. This di-
vision has almost reached Damasi,
where it will effect a union with the
force that captured the town. Twen-
ty thousand troops under Gen. Smol-
enitz displayed the greatest bravery.
Taking a general survey of the field
the fortunes of war thus far are pretty
evenly divided, but the chances for the
immediate future are decidedly in IA
vor of the Greeks.
The government has addressed
note to the foreign ministers and con-
suls in Greece, calling their attention
to the fact that Greece has adhered to
the declarations of the Berlin con-
gress of 1850, and expressing the hope
that foreign governments will respect
the laws of neutrality.

BANK CASHIER KILLED,
Brutal Crime Of Robbers Mt Summer
worth, y. II.

Brutal Crime Of Robbers at Summer
worth, n. II.
Cashier Joseph A. Stickney, Of the
Great Falls National Bank in Somcrs-
worth, N. H., yielded his life Friday
after a desperate but futile struggle to
prevent fobbers from taking the banks
cash. The amount of booty secured by
the Jebbers is a matter of conjecture.
AH@the cash is missing, and this is es-
timated to be $4,000, though it may be
more.
The robbers overlooked 100000 in
United States bonds, kept in one Of
the drawers Of the vault. None of the
negotiable paper or bank securities
was touched, the robbers having evil
IDENTIFY determined to take nothing but
cash. 1-.-
The crime was not discovered until
some time had elapsed, and the per-
petrators had ample opportunfty" to e1-
cape. Mr.. Stickney was a well-known
