THE DYING SOLDIER.
A Scene During the Attack on
"Heil'S Half Acre.

In the February Century Gen Horace
Porter relates the following story in his
Campaigning with Grant The incident
occurred during the attack on what is now
called 'HelFs Half-Acrc," near Massapo.
max Church: Gen Grant had ridden over to
the night TO watch the progress of this attack
While he was passing a spot near the road
SIDE where there were numbered " ounded
one of them, whowaS Iyiug close to the road
side, seemed to attract his special ro,ice
The man face was bcardlcSS: he was evil

appealing look which could not fail To en-
gage attention, even inthe full tide of ha tile
The blood was flowing from a wound in his
breast, the froth about his mouth wa tingcd
with red. and his wandering. staring eyes
gave unmistakable evidence of approaching
death. Justthcna young gstaffofficcrdaSh she'd
by at a fun gallop, and as his horses hoofs
struck puddle in the road a mass of black
mud was splaShed in the wounded mans
face. He gave piteous look, as much a to

The general, whose eyes were at that
moment turned upon the youth, was visi-

seeing from motion he made that he was
intending TO dismount to hestow some
care upon the young man, l sprang from
my horse, ran to the side Of the soldier,
wiped his face with my handkerchief,
spoke to him, and examined his wound:
but in a few minutes the unnista kable
death rattle was heard, and found that
he had brcathed his last 1 said to the
general, who was watching the scene
intently: The poor fellow is dead re-

The chief had turned round twice TO
look after the officer who had splashed
the mud and who had passed rapidly on,
as If he wished TO take him to task for his

look upon the generals face, and he did
not speak for some time. While ALWAYS
keenly sensitive to the sufferines of the
wounded, this pitiful sight seemed to
affect him more than usual

THE PROGRESS OF \ NATION
Mr. Lummis on a Few Phenomena
Observable in Mexico.

In an article in the Awakening of a
Nation,'' Mr. Charles F Lummis in Har-
per's, speaks in glowing terms OF the pros
perity of Mexico. He says Il do not
know anything in history which fairly
parallels these twenty ycarsin Mexico. No
other man has taken comparable dead
weight OF population and so uplifted and
transformed it. The wonder is all the
more because to this day every other col
ony of Spain in the new world looks to be
the worse off forthe independencia. What
ever we may say of the theory of self gov
eminent, i'll practice not one of them was
ever so uiserably yiceroyed or captain
generated as it has been presidented four
fifths Of the time since 1921. Very much
the same was true of Mexico until recently.
1t has had patriotic rulers sometimes; but
that they Were at last sorry rulers, the
very roster of them shows Four presi-
dents in d year is hardly an index of pros
perity.
1T is rot far to remember when there
was rot a railroad in Mexico, and when
other material conditions Were in proper
ton The actual Mexico has forty rail-
roads, with nearly 1000 miles of track,
and everything that that implies. Its
transportation facilities are practically
as good as those Of our Western States; and
the investm ent is far more profitable. 1t
is nctted with telegraph lines, with the
cheapest tariffs in America, dotted with
postoffIces, schools, costly buildings for
public business and public beneficence. 1t
is freer than it was ever before-with free
schools, free speech, free press. 1t is
happier than ever before, and more pros
porous than even in the bonanza days Of
the magnificent silver kings of Zacaecas
Guanajuato. There are degrees, OF course,
by local variation of impulse or of op-
Eortunity but there is progress every where
material intellectual, moral

SOME QUEER LIBRARY BREAKS
Requests for Books That Amuse the
Employees of the Institution.

Requests for Books That Amuse the
Employees of the Institution.
Once i'll while the clerks in the public
library get hold of a good joke through the
ignorance OF people who come there to take
out books. 1t was not long a go that wom-
an who was anxious 90 join the Daughtersof
the American Revolution came there 70 look
up her family history and get her facts and
claims ready to submit to the committee on
membership. She went about it in rather
queer way. After looking about aiullessly
through the index for time she discovered
"Lossing's Family History Of the United
States.' She wrote her request for the
books on one OF the cards provided for that
purpose, and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it did
not contain what she wanted
1t was not long after this incident that
another woman, who, from her dress and
appearance, the clerks thought might be
literary, wrote on one OF the cards Il re-
quest for The Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table
Holmes autocrat do You want?'' Do
litely asked the clerk.
'Oh, / don't care whose it is,'' was The
reply. Il only want to find out if it is
proper to use toothpicks at the breakfast
table,
short time ago woman tit is always
a woman who makes these library breaks)
puzzled one of the clerks with a reQuest
for book which she said was called
Twin Angels He looked about for it for
a time and finally figured out that she
wanted The Heavenly Twins" Another
request for magazine which the appli-
can't said was called Brain kept one Of
the clerks busy hunting half an hour be-
fore he discovered that what was wanted
was the magazine called "Mind.'' Still an
other clerk was shocked the other day by
a request for Washington Irving's Ala
ban'a.' The clerk mildly suggested al
