story of the Engagement.
The engagement began with desul-
tory firing at the pickets, thousand
yards inland from the camp. Capt.
Spicer's company was doing guard duty
and was driven in, finally rallying on
the camp and repulsing the enemy at
five o'clock. The bodies of Privates
McColgan and Dunphy were found,
both shot in the head. The large cavi-
ties caused by the bullets, which inside
a range of 500 yards have a rotary mo-
ton. indicate that the victims were
killed at close range.

IN MEMORIUM.
Where has our little Lester gomez
We miss him at our home
we miss him at the Sunday School
Where has our darling gomez
He's gone where sorrows never come
Where death is never known
He stands with little angels now
Around the great white throne
A shining crown upon his brow,
harp within his hand
He's free from every care and pain
In heaven, the promised land.
SO wipe away those bitter tears
Ere long the day will come
When you can say with thankful hearts
Praise God! Thy will be done!

Frederick Meyer, who has been the

has in all that time never failed to ring
the bell, not only on the appointed
hour, but even on the minute. So ac-
curate was the weekly calls to service,
and so we'll known has the fact become
that people in all directions within
hearing of the bell make it custom
to set their clocks every Sunday morn

o'clock. The second bell rings at ten
forty-fve, and everybody up this way
then glances at their time pieces to see
if they struck 1t right the first time
Consequently when the second bell
