having been born in Paris August &c,
1884 When a girl of IA she was par
lticipant in the revolution of 1S4S and
there got her first taste of a vivandiere's
work, for French Mary" was vivan-
diere-the only one in the union army.
When the struggle was over she mar
ried. She was but Is and an orphan
when Bernard Tebe sought her hand.
He was a tailor and she followed the
same trade. For six years they lived
in Paris, and from there went to Lon
don. The change proved unsatisfac-
tory. Finding nothing to keep them in
England they came to the United States,
settling in Philadelphia, where they
were at the outbreak of the war.
Tebe was anxious to enlist in the
Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania volun-
teers, one of the first regiments Organ
lied in Philadelphia, but hesitated to
leave his wife alone. But she wanted
him to go and take her with him to the
front. The recruiting officers refused
this, but Tebe was so insistent that they
wrote to Washington about the matter.
Mrs. Leonard says it was President Lin
coin himself who gave the necessary
permission for her to accompany the
iTwenty-seventh.
The Twenty-seventh was three
months regiment and did not get into
much real fighting. When the One
Hundred and Fourteenth was organized
An Philadelphia she went with it to the
front. The soldiers then realized that
"French Mary" who had been acting
as head laundress, was in reality 6
heroine. She did not stay in the real
with the nurses and surgeons wher
there was fighting on hand, but went
into the thickest of the conflict on hel
work of mercy. She wore an odd com
bination of male and female attire, ar
army blouse and trousers, and a short
skirt that came to her knees. Over hel
shoulder was strapped wooden keg
and she carried bundle of lint an(
bandagcs.
She was perfectly fearless. Wherever
the One Hundred and Fourteenth went
there she was to be found. At Fred
ericksburg she was wounded, her onl,
injury during her military career. Sh
was standing in the front rank, wher'
bullets were pAttering all around her
An officer riding by saw her and ordered
her to the rear.
"Maybe am not so scared as yo,
are" she laughed, and made no sign o
obedience.
AS she tells the story she was stand
ing beside horse and fell under tn
enimal's feet, when a small bulle
buried itself in her ankle momen

that is what causes her lameness.

Lincoln on the occasion Of one OF his
visits to the army of the Potomac, and
that he spoke to hi by her army name,
which she prefers now to her real name
of Leonard. She also relates that on an
other occasion when she determined to
leave the army Gen. Mcclellan persuad-
ed her to stay, saying her services were
invaluable. 1t was this that induced her
to stay until the close Of the war.
She cannot recall all the battles in
which she participated, but she recol-
lects Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the
Seven Days fight and the operations
around Richmond. There were other
struggles, but their names have faded
from her memory
Since leaving the army her life has
been one of privation and struggle.
She married Richard Leonard, a dash
ing ex-cavalryman, whose winning
ways proved but the mask of reckless
disposition. He drank, beat her and
squandered her money. For several
years she kept tavern on the Browns
vile road few miles from Pittsburgh.
When she sold it she, by the advice of
her husband, invested the greater part
of the proceeds in gold, then at a
premium. She had $4,000 in gold, and he
persuaded her to intrust it to his care.
Within a month he had squandered
every cent, leaving her penniless save
for the little home she had bought. He
capped the climax of his conduct by
burning her zouave suit, which she had
carefully preserved since the war. Then
she drove him from her house.
When asked why she did not have him
punished, she replied simply:
Gle was a soldier. Iwould never have
a soldier locked up"

She is very anxious that her pension be
granted. Sometimes" she said, 81

wouldn't want a pension if 1 was not
so poor"
Her little property, worth a few hun
dred dollars, is willed to the soldiers
home at Dayton, o., she says. With the
exception of her husband she has not a
legal heir in the wide world that she
knows of. The close of the life of this
heroine of the war is drawing near amid
the gloom of friendlessness and power

ABOUT THE REBEL YELL.
1t Is the Shout Which Every Farmer
Learns to Use.

Learns to Use.
One night last summer, at the en-
campment of the Pennsylvania nation
al guard on Lake Conneaut, the officers,
several of whom had served in the late
war, were discussing the confederate
veil and the terror it was alleged to
have caused in the minds of the green
northern volunteers every time the con-
federates charged down upon them.
ut had not the slightest effect upon
me-" said one of the officers, although
when first went into the war l was
only raw recruit, and had never seen
service"
"Oh, of course, colonel" remarked
one of his companions, nothing could
scare YOU"
"Spare your sarcasm, major" was the
reply. "I'll admit l was badly scared
the first time I smelled powder, but it
was the same feeling of fright that
every new soldier experiences, no mat
ter how often he may afterward deny
it. No, sir, it was not the confederate
yell that sent my heart into my boots.
I was very familiar with it, and yet |
had never been south before. Why, you
young fellows yourselves have heard 1t
a thousand times.
every northern farmer boy can give
the rebel yell, for he learns it by virtue
of his occupation. You gentlemen have
no doubt observed, when showing your
country cousins the sights of the city,
that they are a gentle-voiced lot and
that you have had to bend your ear and
strain to hear their words above the
uproar of the street.
"But put one of those cousins on one
side of 2O-acre field and station your
self on the other, and you'll find that
you can distinguish every word he
shouts to you, while he is unable to un-
derstand you. Right there you are
hearing the rebel yell, and your cousin
has acquired it because he needs it in
his business. The workers on our big
American farms frequently must make
themselves heard at considerable dis
tances, and they train the voice accord
ingly.
"At the time Of the war the south was
almost exclusively an agricultural COM
munity, and the proportion of country
men who served in her armies was much
greater than the proportion who shoul-
dered the gun on the northern side.
Consequently when southern regi-
ment made charge, cheering as it
came, the yell Of the southern farmer
boys overtopped the deeper toned shout
of the city men, for have since ascer-
tained that the average denizen of the
southern city is just as incapable of Civ
ing the rebel yell as the average resi-
dent of the cities north of Mason and
DiXon's line Is unable to initiate the
bass-voiced attendant at the political
meeting that spoke of."-N. Y. Sun.

Force of Habit.

Old soldiers know that it took them
several years to break themselves Of
several habits contracted in the army,
and this fact formed the basis of a
laughable incident, says the Omaha
World-Herald. A veteran who had
been home from the front but few
months went downtown one morning
and purchased basket OF eggs. He
started home with the basket of eggs
on HIS arm and was observed by a wng.
The wag slipped up behind the unsus-
pecting veteran and shouted: "Atten-
toni" Instantly the veterans arm
Strengthened down, first finger on the
seam of his trousers, and the basket OF
eggs went to the ground with crash

"FRENCH MARY"
A Woman Veteran and Her Services
in the War.

A Woman Veteran and Her Services
in the War.
Many survivors of the civil war will
recollect French Mary" She cared for
the wounded of many battle fields while
the bullets were flying thick around
her. Few know that she is still living,
and that the struggle of life goes hard
ly with her. She is crippled, alone in
the world, and often on the verge OF
starvation.
Her little home is in Baldwin town
ship, Allegheny county, Pa, about four
miles from Pittsburgh. 1t is cheap
frame, surrounded by an ill-kept paling
fence, and in one room there is pitiful
lattempt at store, where few dollars
worth of pipes, tobacco, tobies and some
handfus of ancient candy are displayed.
But purchasers are few, and the profits
will not serve to keep starvation from
the little dwelling. But for the charity
of neighbors "French Mary" would
often 90 hungry. She is at times sore
ly pressed to find food enough to keep
ther alive.
Her name is Mary Leonard. Her hus-
band is still living, but he is worse than
useless to her. He not only fails to pro-
vide for her, but obstinately prevents
her from realizing enough from her
property to supply herself with life's
bare necessities. The old woman has
applied for a pension, but special act
of congress will be necessary to meet
her case, since she was never regularly
enlisted as a nurse.
The story of her life is not without
romance. She is nearly Ga years old,

The villain! Last night our boats

sert us, fearful of the punishment
that might have awaited him when
we touched land"

Hens' Nests.

Hens will "steal" their nests in sum-
mer and find some secluded location
where the ground appears moist. The
fact has prompted some farmers to be-
lieye that a moist location should be
preferred for hens that are incuhating.
The selection Of the nesting place by
the hen is not because the ground may
be damp, but because she desires a
cool location or to get rid of lice in the
poultry house. In winter the hen pre-
fers warm and dry nest. Experiments
show that sitting hens will hatch out as
many chicks from the eggs when the
nests are up on dry hay NOW as when
they are located on damp ground.

A Joke on a Chicago Doctor.

DR.. Charles Gatchell, of Chicago, IS
not telling this story The reason is
that he is too deeply concerned. But
the story is true one.
Dr. Gatchell is bachelor, and for
that reason his embarrassment is
greater than it otherwise would be.
When he and other members of the
medical profession started from Chi
cago to attend the national homOe-
pathic convention in Omaha, they oc
cupied a sleeper. DR.. Gatchell was
assigned to lower six, and being tired,
retired at an early hour. When the
train arrived at Galesburg the car was
set out to wait for a train following.

later from Galesburg
That evening there was wedding
in high life at Galesburg, and Of
course the usual amount of ribbon dec
Grating and rice throwing. Some OF
the bridal party ascertained that the
contracting parties had engaged Sec
ton six in a sleeper, and they deter
mined to decorate it up. By mistake
they got into the wrong car. Dr.
Gatchell was peacefully sleeping and
alone in the car. The decorators set
to work, and in short space of time
had the section nicely decorated with
ribbons and flowers. Then they hid to
await the coming of the groom and
bride. first sending out spy to report
their arrival
Presently the spy sneaked out and
reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Blanke
were in their car, which was down
the track a short distance But the
decorators knew nothing of this. They
rushed into the car they had first WIS.,
tied, pulled the curtains of section six
aside, and before the astonished doc
tor could protest he found himself bur-
led beneath an avalanche of rice, old
shoes and flowers.
When DIR. Gatchell recovered from
the awful shock to his bachelor nerves
he began to talk. He talked earnestly
and we'll, but the merry crowd fed
before he could finish his rather tor
rid speech.-The Omaha World-Her-
