REAL HEROES WHO KEEP QUIET

THAT fight between the Monitor and
the Merrimac,' said the doctor, quoted
in the Inter-Ocean. took the peoples
eye at the time, and as a nation we are
still blowing about it. But where are the
men who were on the Monitor that day
One of them has been for ten years in
the carpet department of one of the big
stores on State street, but not even many
old soldiers knew it, until the other day
found him, and although ] hadn't seen
him for twenty-four years, | knew him.
He admditted his guilt, but he wasn't
shouting about it."
''That reminds me" put in the Colonel,
that two Of the men who stood by Far
ragut in the famous fight. put into pic
ture and story, are still living in Chicago.
They looked into Farragut's eyes at the
very crisis of the most picturesque of ma
val engagements, they heard his words.
and they acted on his orders But what
man in Chicago ever heard them boast of
it?"
Il can do as well as that" said the
private. about 10000 men remember
with a thrill the day the ammunition
shed at Resaca was struck by lightning.
The boxes of powder, shell and car
trldges for the movement on Atlanta
had been piled to the roof in the large
railway shed or freight depot. A terrific
thunder storm swept over the camp one
day, and drove evn the guards under
cover. There was Ibtinding flash; a
crash heavier than that of seven bat
cries of artillery fired in concert, and
the appalled, soldiers saw that the am
munition shed had been struck.
up near the top of the pile Of boxes
of shells and cartridges the tow packing
was on fire. Men who had stood straight
in battle crouched down now like stricken
animals, or went creeping away in fear.
All knew what fire meant in such a
storehouse Of explosives, and the impulse
to crouch down or run was so common
that the whole camp seemed like a wave
of retreating blue. But suddenly there
was q shout. One of the guards dropped
his rife, climbed up the pilets OF boxes,
snatched the burning tow from the now
exposed cartridges and shells, and quiet
ly climbed down. l saw that act from
beginning to end, and yet l never knew
until two months ago that the man who
saved Sherman's ammunition and posi-
bly, hundreds of lives, was Ramie Jenesse
CT my own company. He had hundred
c''ances to tell me about it, but he said
not q word"

A VERY NEAT ESCAPE,
Private Burke of Troop A. Fifth Cavalry
Takes French Leave.

Trooper Burke of Fort Bliss is daisy
with wings, or words to that effect.
He got on tear recently at the fort,
and going into the canteen imagined
himself Don Quixote, and the rest of
the soldiers there hobgoblins whom it
was his bouden duty to slay forth with.
So drawing his sabre he sailed in.
Only few blows had been struck and
no one hobgob.in particularly hurt
when Burke aimed blow at q fellow
trooper that would certainly have
severed his head from his body had
the blow struck true and square. But
| the sabre hit big lamp first, and as
the drunken maniac and pinioned him.
He was forthwith fired into "the mill''
and later sent to San Antonio for trial
and mprisonment.
Sergeant Ed Gray of troop A, WAS
detailed to take Burke to San Antonio,
and started out all right. Burke had
been playing paralytic, and did it 80
| might not live to reach San Antonio.
So Sergeant Gray was not as careful as
he might have been. When near
Sierra Blanca, Burke made out that
the handouts gave him great pain,
and the tender hearted sergeant re-
moved them for the time being. All
was serene, and the grateful prisoner
apparently dropped off into peaceful
slumber. The sergeant followed suit,
away.
Suddenly the prisoner was noticed to
look up and around, quickly but quiet
ly. The lights were burning low, the
sergeant was entirely unconscious, and
no one was watching. Burke rose in
his seat: his paralysis had gone a
flick ering, and with deftness that was
astonishing. he quietly opened the SER
geant's bag, took out his uniform,
donned the same, leaving his own over
the back of the seat. Relieved the
sleeper of his watch and $3.50 in money
and his six shooter, and silently moved
down the aisle of the car. At the other
end he met the conductor and i'm
pressed upon him the necessity of
seeing that 'the prisoner asleep over
there" did not escape while he retired
to the corner of the car for obvious
reasons, Burke got onto the platform
and-jumped.
The train with the sleeping sergeant
went on, and as the conductor shortly
afterwards bethought him to speak to
the ''prisoner" a conversation ensued
that was more or less exhilarating.
The conductor was with some difficulty
convinced that he had been imposed
upon, and the cavalry sergeant fairly
danced all over ten acre lot as he
discovered the loss not only of his pris-
oner, but of his uniform and valuables.
On arriving at San Antonio and re-
porting the matter, Gray was put un-
der arrest and is now languishing in
the Fort Sam Houston ''mill.' He
will be court martialed for allowing
his bird to escape, but it is not believ-
ed he will be punished to any alarming
extent as he is an old soldier with an
excellent record, and that is what tells
in the army. Burke was an Arizona
cowboy and strictly up to snuff.

Many wealthy men in New York, in
order to escape personal taxes in the

country. But even in the country the
tax assessor is b bacoming Il terror. Tar
rytown is filed with rich men, and the
assessors there have not hesitated to
ap0raise the estates a. high figures.
The GOulds have an estate there and
their personal prop perty is assessed at
