1t was at Antietam that Lieut.. Grieg,
of this city, won the medal of honor
for his capture of confederate flag.
He was in the SiXty-first New York
Gen. Nelson A. Miles old regiment
when he saw JUS in front a confeder-
ate battle-hag planted firmly in front
of the Fourth Alabama. Leaving his
command he "sprinted" for the flag,
shopping low as bicyclist to avoid
bullets. Before the others quite re-
allied his intent he had reached the
flag, wrenched it from the ground and
turned to dash back into his own lines.
Then thousand men began firing at
him all at once. Greig had almost
reached the shelter of a low stone wall,
behind which his men were lying, when
bullet struck him in the neck, in
flicting a dangerous, but not fatal
wound.--N. Y. World.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-08-03

stovepipe, split oak sapling and
small two-inch board nailed across the
split just behind the roller. The pipe
was well riveted with wrought nails;
short apple tree limb, with old bolts
driven in either end, was put in the
pipe and packed solidly in gravel and
sand, and an inch board was sawed out
to fit the ends, and nailed in, after
tamping the sand and gravel. Anger
holes bored in either side of the split
handle made that fit nicely, and to
strengthen it wire nails were driven
through and bent on both sides. A
support to hold the tongue or handle
off the ground was made by mailing
an eight-inch peg in an auger hole at
the point where the split stopped. The
roller could be pushed or pulled back
and forth, over and across, and did
most effective work.
The small roller proving inadequate
as a clod crusher and leveler, where the
soil was rough and uneven, / made a
larger, stronger and more durable tool
after the fashion of wheelbarrow.
In this l used the six-inch stovepipe
filled with sand and gravel, and iron
spikes driven in a center square block
for an axle. The frame was made Of
two by four-inch scantling, with boards
nailed across for bottom, and DASH
board of eight-inch plank nailed to up
right standards just behind the roller.
This made platform for weighing
the roller, by giving the children ride
or putting in some rocks. The legs
may be left off, if desirable, and the
roller can be made of wood to suit
| the circumstances. In this roller how
ever, where much weight is needed, the
stovepipe is hardly heavy enough, and
round block of wood, even one foot
in diameter, is preferable. This roller
can be used in the same manner as a
wheelbarrow. and is very handy, in
expensive tool that more than pays for
| its manufacture in one season, and will
last great many years if properly
handled.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm and
| Fireside

branoe for the kind and loving atten-
ton that they gave us while we were
under their care and keeping. l never
see one of them wearing their peculiar
garb but my mind goes back to the
time when, wounded and sick and away
from home and our own loved ones,
they ministered to our every want as
tenderly and cheerfully as our own
mothers or wives or sisters could have
done.
When we left Gettysburg we were
taken to the cotton factory hospital
at Harrisburg. Here we found more
sisters, not dressed in any peculiar
garb, but with hearts as loving, loyal
and patriotic as any in the land. And
as our mind goes back to those days,
and we think of the buncEes of flow
ers, the baskets of fruits, the kind
words, and the loving cheer. they
brought us each day while we lay in
the hospitals-and when we think of
how the brave, unselfish, heroic wom-
en- of the north stood up for the boys
who wore the blue-we can but say:
Had it not been for them our cause
had been lost."-J. r. Balsley, in Ma
tional Tribune.

WAR STORIES NOT RECORDED
Funny Tnles-A Sample of
His Stock.

An old soldier of Detroit has 6
couple of stories Of the late war that
will not be preserved in the archives of
accepted history.
'In the Pioneer brigade to which l
belonged" relates this veteran, there
was Wisconsin man who seemed to
have the gift of perpetual good feeling
After Bragg had left Tullahoma on his
way to some safer locality, we pushed
on to Elk river to repair bridge. The
Wisconsin man, whom l remember as
Hank, went down the stream a little
way to take a swim, and while he was
disporting himself in the water five of
Bragg's boys appeared on the bank,
covered him with their guns and cor
daily invited him to come in out of the
wet. He promptly yielded to the per-
suason, dressed while laughingly tell
ing his captors that if there had beeh
but four of them he would have de-
clined to recognize them as his supe-
rior 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 1868, they were tired Of
the fight and glad to get within our
lines.
"The last time I was at national
encampment came across the hero of
the occasion, and I'll be blowed if he
wasn't telling in solemn earnest how
he made 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 was convinced that Hank
thought he was telling the gospel
truth"
The veterans other story is about
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 acknowledges, "but can bring the
proof of it 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
pursuers and ordered to surrender.
He had not yet been weaned from the
favorite method of fighting in the lum-
Der camps, so he threw aside his gun
and bayonet as useless membranes
and sailed in for rough and tumble, re
peatedly announcing that he could lick
the whole outfit. The onslaught was
so sudden and so ludicrous that those
assaulted were temporarily paralyzer
by laughter and hall dozen of then
had gone down with damaged heads oil
bleeding noses before they could rally
Then the bold puncher was taken by {
good-natured cXertion of force. anC
was only reconciled when assured
that some man would be found to dt
him battle in rough and tumble. DE

AT GETTYSBURG.
On the Field Among the Enemy ana
in the Hospitals Cared for
by Patriotic Women.

1t may be interesting to the present
generation to know things not re-
corded in history that happened in the
dark days of the nations life, and how
certain feeling existed among some
who were fighting against Old Glory,
and also how the wants of the wound
ed and dying were ministered to by
those noble women whose lives are de-
voted to purity and to God, and by
those whose patriotism was the bright
est Jewel in their every deed.
About noon on the first day OF July,
1868, at the memorable battle of Gettys-
burg, Just as our lines were being
driven back, and while trying to lift
the colors of our regiment that had
fallen to the ground, was struck down
by two balls, This happened on knoll
back of the seminary, toward Willough-
bv run. Our line fell back about so
wards farther, then rallied, and for a
half hour held that position. To be eff

possible. You can imagine what an
interesting time I had during that half
hour, as received third shot from
our own men, and had my haversack
and cartridge box torn from me while
lying in that position.
About four o'clock, after our men had
been driven to Cemetery hill, Nortf
Carolina lieutenant, belonging to the
regiment commanding the rear guart
of the confederate army, approached
me. He was very jubilant, and told OF
the great victory that they had won
how they were going On in the morning
to Harrisburg, thence to Washington
city, and so on until the whole northern
army was wiped out.

would find some obstacles on their way
He then wanted to know how many o
