VETERANS UNDER FIRE.
The Reason They Don't Stoop When
the RuIIPfs Are Flyinr,

1.-THE temptation to Stoop when under
fire is almost irrcsiStiblc,' y sold n veteran,
land that accounts for SO many of the
wounds received by raw troops. You see,
when man happens to be hit in stoop-
ing posture the chances are that the bullet
plows right through his body from end to
end On the other hand, if he is standing
erect, the probabilities are in favor of the
wound being slight, anyhow not mortal
Old soldiers are well aware of this, and
while they will drop fat and hunt cover
every chance they get they never stoop.
AFTER soldier has been in few en-
gagements he learns such tricks, and, as
far as the rest of it is concerned, he be-
comes simply fatalist. There is nothing
strange about it, for almost all his eXpe
riences appear to lend color to that doc
trine. For instance, he never lodges, be-
cause he has seen men dodge and get kill
ed when it really seemed as if they had
reached for the bullet. In fact, the
strangest things are continually happen
ing, all apparently the pure whim of
chance.
Il remember near Petersburg a comrade
of mine, as brave fellow as ever lived,
took refuge behind little hut. He was
wornout under fire and wanted to get a
moments breathing space. Twenty feet
in the rear and little to one side was q
pile of crosstics full of wrought iron nails
A bullet came along, splintcred tie and
drove out one of the nails at right angles
The jagged iron struck my chum in the
side, penetrated his kidneys and killed
him
''That's the blind chance Of war, and
after getting few such object lessons u
fellow sapt to acquire a sort of sang froid
that is immensely impressive to recruit
1t isn't because he has contempt for dan
ger; he has merely learned the folly of
trying to evade it. New Orleans Times

The dresses are magnificent, as bewil-
deringly curious as any stage manager at
home ever conceived All tho talking is
in strained falsctto, and there arc yelling
and posturing and wailing and confusion.
Suddenly the band breaks in with an aw-
full crash-such n marvellous band, five
drums and ten pairs of cymbals-such Il
deafening smashing and banging! With
hoarse screams dozens of imps, green faced
and yellow eyed and horned, rush on the
stage and gyrate and tlout banners and
draw up in lines and swing partners and
set to places An ochre faced, villainous
chief demon, a heap of fantasticalncss,
twirls like q teetotum, and there is moro
banging and jumping and swinging and
mad pandemonium, and the cymbals and
the drums rend the air. 1t is terrific.
At it again, with mighty chatter and
heavings, spinning, flag waving, contor-
tioning-it is the accumulated uproars Of
the world all pressed into one Chinese the
alter.
You sit tight, with fixed gaze, waiting
for the drums of your ears to crack, and
when the top of your head is about to fly
off there is one awful thunderous bang,
and the demon king, chorus orchestra,
the whole crowd, fall, flop. and the act is
over.-Travei.

years ago, turned into little roadside Inn
near Lochmabcn. Soon afterwurd he was
joined by couple of strangers, the youn

boast about his proficiency on the "damb-

see that you are either playing with satan
himself or the Herd LaddieY"
Wyllie smilingly acknowledged his iden-

the trio had an amicable chat, although
the farmer said no more about his prowcss
