JELLY FOR THE SOLDIERS.

AS but little has appeared in the papers
of late. possibly some may think that
the Daughters of American Revolution
have ceased to work. The committee are
still vigiIant, and as the hospital cases
grow less, more attention is given to the
sick soldiers in their homes IL Is the
wish of this committee to send some
dainty to every case that comes to their
notice. Home made jellies are now need
ed. If each member of d. A. r. or any
lady friends would each contribute one
glass from their store of jellfes it would
greatly aid this committee. The treas
,irer of the committee at 772 Congress
street will be very glad to receive the
contributions and will see that they are
distri Duted.

on to the Elk river to repair a bridge.

as Hank, went down the stream little

suasion, and dressed while laughingly
telling his captors that if there had
been but four of them he would have
declined to recognize them as a SUI
perior land force, and fought them
from the water.
while the prisoner was awaiting an
order to march, the five surprised him
by stacking their arms, notifying him
that they surrendered, and asking to be
taken into camp. Like hundreds of
others in lower Tennessee during the
summer of 1863, they were tired of the
fight and glad to get within our lines.
The last time | was at national en-
campment | came across the hero of
the occasion, and I'll be blowed if he
wasn't telling in solemn earnest how he
made a sudden dash upon those five
Johnnies, surrounded them, disarmed
them and marched them to headquar-
ters. Such stories are apt to grow, even
with one who participated in the event
and l was convinced that Hank thought
he was telling the Gospel truth"
The veterans other story is about a
big member of the Red Sash brigade
who had done yeoman service in the
pine woods of Michigan before he en-
tered the army. 81 didn't see this" he
acknowledged, "but l can bring the
proof if it be demanded. At the Bull
Run retreat the woodsman STOPPED to
assist wounded comrade. While he
was doing this Good Samaritan work
he was suddenly surrounded by pursu-
ers and ordered to surrender. He had
not yet been weaned from the favorite
method of fighting in the lumber camp,
so he threw aside his gun and bayonet
as useless encumbrances and sailed in
for a rough and tumble, repeatedly an
nouncing that he could lick the whole
outfit. The onslaught was so sudden
and so ludicrous that those assaulted
were temporarily paralyzed by laugh
ter, and half dozen of them had gone
down with damaged heads or bleeding
noses before they could rally. Then the
bold puncher was taken by good-na-
tured exertion of force. and was only
reconciled when assured that some man
would be found to do him battle in a
rough and tumble. e."-Detroit Free
