was participant-indeed, in the fore
front of battle.
Gettysburg was different; and yet,
as respects somnolence, in my case
much the same. During the days pre-
ceding that momentous struggle my
command had been frequently engaged
and suffered heavy loss. We who re-
mained were but remnant. On the Sd
of July the division to which we be-
longed occupied the high, partially
wooded ground on the right of the line.
1t was bright July day; hot, and with
white clouds slowly rolling across the
sky, premonitory of a thunderstorm
during the later afternoon. From our
position the eye ranged over wide
eXpanse of uneven country, fields
broken by woods, showing nowhere
any signs of an army movement, much
less of conflict. Neither our lines nor
those of the enemy were visible to us;
and the sounds of battle We're hushed.
Waiting for orders and for action, we
dismounted out of regard for our horses
as well as ourselves and sat or lay upon
the tIIi. Injured to danger by contact
loAg and close and thoroughly tired in
body as overwrought in mind, we
listened for the battle to begin; and
shortly after noon the artillery opened.
We did not know it, we could see moth
ing in that directions, but it covered the
famous advance of PicSett's Virginia
division upon Meade's center - that
wonderful, that unsurpassed feat of
arms; and just then, lulled by th> IN

A BRAVE MAN.
Inspector General Ducat Ran the
Gantlet of n Thousand Blaz-
ing Muskets.

THAT is one of the bravest men ever
knew" said Gen. Rosecrans, pointing
out his inspector general, Arthur c.
Ducat. 81 saw him coolly face almost
certain death to perform duty. Three

eyes, and he had to run the gantlet of
a thousand muskets, but he did it,

Gilmore while on visit to "Old
Hosey's army at Murfreesboro, who re-
cords them in his Personal Recolec-

Con. Rosecrans referred to Ducat's
havior at the battle of Iuka. The in
spector general had observed that
regiment of Gen. Stanley's division was
about to be overwhelmed by much
larger force of the enemy.
Ride on and warn Stanley at once"
said Eosecrans, as Ducat reported the
danger. An acre on fire and swept with
bullets lay between him and the
menaced regiment. Ducat glanced at

three; gave one to each of three order
lies, and sent them off, at intervals of
about 60 yards, over the bullet-swept
field. Then he looked at Ducat, who
had seen every one of the orderlies fail
lfeless or desperately wounded.
Without word he plunged into the
fire, ran the gantlet in safety, got to
Stanley, and saved the regiment; but
his clothes were torn by the minnie
balls, and his horse received a mortal
wound.-Detroit Free Press.

them in shape ready for the wounded
who might be carried back from the
front. The surgeons, hospital stewards
and attendants were greatly disturbed,
and when another shot plowed through
the street they were all eager for some
excuse to move. While they were in
excited conference over being in range
and over what might be done, Gen.
Thomas walked leisurely down the
pathway OF the G4-pounder to where
the chief surgeon stood.
"There was not trace OF excitement

ments to indicate that he had seen or
heard the hostile 64-pounders. He
walked quietly up to the group of sur

in the range of the enemy's fire. They
are evidently plugging away at my
headquarters, and, if they are, you will
be in range for good while, for don't
intend to move. Therefore, | think
that the best thing you can do under
the circumstances Is to get out of
range
This was welcome speech to the
surgeons and assistants, and they
waited for no second order to strike
tents. One of the surgeons went to the
tent given up to the hospitalstores, and
returned to the general with a tin cup
ful of porter. He placed the cup on the
palm of his hand so that the general
could take hold of the handle, and pre-
sented it with the air of man confer

looked at the doctor, and then said
quietly: That's for the sick, doctor

was meant for a rebuke or pleasantly,

laughed, except the doctor who had
brought the porter Chicago Inter

There is Bachelors club in the west

One explanation Of this rule, given

thropic reason: Young girls always
have the best chance with their fresh
blooming faces, and we think the wid-
ows ought to be given Il show, :s heir
