How Ii Feels.

And Yet the Soldier Lives to Teno
How II Feels.
II was killed in the fight at Haineg
Bluff, Miss. December 20, 1862" ssi6
one Of the men Of a group in blue in the
smoking car.
A dozen Wisconsin veterans were re-
turning from the national encampment
at Buffalo. and were relating wartime
experiences. Stories Of hand-to-hand
struggles, desperate fighting by COM
panies, regiments and divisions. and
narrow escapes from death by bullet,
bayonet and bomb had followed one an
other but the calm assertion Of John W.
Hedges, a Dodge county farmer, who
had fought in the Sixth Missouri resi-
ment, caused q silence to fall.
"Yes." Capt. Hedges continued, Il r.
ceived wound at Haines' Bluff that IN
900 out Of 1000 instances would have
proved fatal instantly. As II was, was
reported dead, came within an ace Of
being tumbled into the trenches dug for
the dead, and for two years and i've
months did not know my own name,
where lived or whether was 'Yank
or Johnny Reb. In fact, was dead
to all intents and purposes for nearly
two years and half"
"A brother of Ananias!" said q man
across the aisle.
"You are mistaken, sir" was the quick
retort, II am not related to you in any
manner"
"You remember" Capt. Hedges con-
tinued. that when Blair's brigade at
tackled, they were not supported by
Morgan, and retreated. My regiment
had reached the foot Of the bluffs, which
were lined with confederate infantry
men and IS or 20 pieces Of artillery, and
could not get back. We dug holes and
lay down. So close were we to the con-
federate line that the rebels came to
the edge Of the bluff, held their mus
kets vertically at arms length, and fired
down on our heads. One bullet fired
in this way struck me here" and he re-
moved his hat and pointed to hairless
indention on the back Of his head at the
verge Of the crown, land came out here"
and he pointed to white and blue scar,
us big us u silver dollar. under the beard
on the neck.
II was left for dead on the field, and
the official report said ! had been In
stantly killed"
slow does o man feel when he Ii In
stantly killed." inquired the man acrons
the aisle
81 wasn't conscious a second after
that bullet struck me, the doctors
say continued the captain, "but the
sensation experienced seemed to ex-
tend over period Of five or six minutes.
l experienced terrific shock that made
every nerve in my body ache, from tho
crown Of my head to the tips Of my ten
toes. | seemed paralyzed, The roar
Of musketry and the thunder Of big
guns drowned my hearing. Then
realized that l was HIT 1t flashed over
me that l was dying. ! sprang to my
feet, half dubbed my musket, and at
tempted to spring into the rebel lines.
My legs seemed made OF wood and re-
fused to carry me. Great lead weights
were on my feet. | thought Of home,

Where They Come From.

Irving Scott in his speech brfo." the
Chamber of Commerce in San Fran, $50
paid this tribute to the crew OF the
Olympia:
There is no doubt but the gallant
leadership of Dewey gave us the victory
In which we all take such pride. But it
Is true, too, that ninety per cent of the
crew on his vessel, the Olympia, came
from the RANGES of California, Oregon and
Nevada. They were born on the Pacific
Coast, under the old flag, and when they
fought it was with single feeling in
view-the strengthening of liberty and
the uplifting of the races
