The Deed OF q Hero.

Amongst the heroes who were at the
reunion was Mr.. John NJ. Nichols, OF
Spartanburg. He is the soldier boy
who, at the age Of 10 years, was fight
ing in rife pit at Spottsylvania. The
Yankees had charged up to the Con-
federate lines, driving in the skirmish
line, but had been repulsed and had
retreated to their own entrenchments
on the opposite side Of ravine. The
firing was very active and the sharp
shooters so alert that hat lifted
above the Confederate breastworks
would be quickly riddled. But out
side John Nichols heard a wounded
man whom the Yankees had lett be-
hind in their retreat, begging for wa
ter, and he made up his mind to rem
der help. His comrades tried to dis
suade him, arguing that the act would
be suicidal, but Nichols leaped over
the breastworks and crawled down a
corn row within reach of the wounded
enemy, who proved to be an officer, a
distance of twenty-five or thirty yards.
He then tied his canteen on q broken
pine limb, and handing it to the Fed
eral told him to drink what he wanted
and pour some in his own canteen.
The grateful soldier thanked him and
said, Good will bless you for this,
and commenced to tie his watch on the
stick, urging Nichols to accept it.
This Nichols declined, and crawling
back along the corn row he made an
other jump back into the rife pit, fol
lowed by a shower Of bullets. The
incident is the subject of stirring
poem by J. J. Rooney.
Mr.. Nichols is now farmer and a
man Of family. His home is in Spar
tanburg. He did not marry until
about eight years ago.. He is modest
man and as tender as he is brave. Up
to the time Of his marriage if any sick
man was to be nursed, or dead to re-
ceive the last rites, John Nichols was
sure to be there. He keeps up the
practice of kindness still whenever
circumstances allow, and is more than
seconded in all friendly services by
his good wife.
Mr.. Nichols now regrets that he did
not take the watch, as the Federal OIL
Ger was evidently fast bleeding to
death, and the watch, which he said
his mother had given him, would have
been returned to her. She may have
never learned the fate Of her son.
When asked what made him take such
a risk to carry water to the dying SOL
dier, he said some words that his
mother had taught him kept sounding
in his heart: IT was thirsty and ye
gave me drink. "--.Spartanburg Herald.

Thousands have been cured of palpita-
ton, liver trouble, shortness of breath, pain
in the side, backache, and numerous other
complaints by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This medicine acts
directly upon the stomach, the organs Of
digestion and nutrition and the blood max
ing glands, and the fact that it cures so
many forms of disease is the best proof that
these diseases originate in the stomach and
must be cured through the stomach.

Bandiness In Machine Tools.

One of the features Of the machine
tools OF American make which almost
invariably elicits favorable comment
in other countries is hardness. Il Is
not that the American workman is es-
sentially a creature of comfort which
has inspired constant seeking after
conveniences, but the striving for
economy in methods, il not in pro-
cesses, and for saving time, that is
characteristic of American ways Of do
ing things and has ultimately left its
impress on the work Of designers of
him probably than with most designers
of other nationalities; it is the new,
the untried. but possibly useful, which
appeals to him for experiment, and the
outcome of his enterprise has material
lied in many little labor-saying details,
which have helped to make an enviable
reputation for the output Of the Ameri-
can tool builder.

continent as well, for that matter, are

made by a well-known firm, were in
use, and in which the various handles
and levers were particularly well ar
ranged. Remark concerning them
brought out the statement that it was
only after insisting on that arrange
ment and absolutely refusing to accept
the machines until they were put right
that the desirable points were gained
by the purchasers. Little doubt was
expressed, however, that the makers
did not profit by the hint, but still con-
tinue to make the machine for others
in the old style, although the improve
ment demanded could not fail to be
evident to all users. Conservatism Of
this kind does not lead to a useful pur-
pose.

STORIES OF ANIMALS,
illustrating the Sense of the Elephant
and the Horse

illustrating the Sense of the Elephant
and the Horse
From the huge elephant to the tiny
ant, the entire animal kingdom offers
stories and facts which should enlist
the sympathies and engage the inter-
ests of the human being who has. in
quaint, old-fashioned speech, "domin-
len over them
IN the whole animal creation there
is not to be found creature more in
telligent, more easily managed or more
likely to become the friend of man than
the elephant. The natives of India,
recognizing this, treat him with ven
Grafton and respect; but, on the other
hand, the ferocious brutishness of the
African negroes, melted by the GRIM
inal cupidity of Arab and European
ivory merchants, transforms into a
savage beast an animal best suited by
nature to be mans associate.
A Hindoo hunter was once known to
have become so fond of an elephant
which he had caught and tanned that
rather than have his tusks sawed of
for the sake Of the ivory he allowed
himself to live in penury.
A famous general once said: 'The
most piteous thing after battle is the
sight of wounded horses. The men are
cared for, but the poor horses are left
to die in agony"
The horse enters into the spirit OF a
battle like a human being. He shows
no fear Of death and no sign of panic
in all the wild tumult of the battles
din. A horse in one of the batteries
in the Murfreesboro' fight had his skull
split by piece of shell so that one
side was completely loosened. The
driver turned him loose, but he walk
ed up to the side of the gun and watch
ed the firing, following the shots with
his gaze as if to note their effect on
the enemy. When he saw the team he
had worked with being driven back for
ammunition he ran to his old place and
galloped back with the rest, and when
an officer pushed him aside to have
another horse put in he gazed at the
newcomer with a most sorrowful ex-
preston in his eyes. Then, seeming
to realize that the glory Of battle was
no more for him. he walked slowly
away, lay down and died. The officer
who owned him declared that it was
not the wound, but a broken heart,
that killed him.

Diamond Saws

The use Of the diamond saw for cut
ting stone is facilitating the erection of
buildings. The diamonds which form
the cutting teeth OF the saw are COM
mon crystals, fixed in a steel disc over
six feet in diameter, which is mounted
on spindle, and reyolyed by steam
power, like an ordinary circular saw.
For saving hard stones there are 200
diamonds in the cutting edge, and the
speed is 300 turns a minute 1t ad-
vances into the stone about a foot in
that time. For soft stones the teeth
are of steel, with diamonds at intervals
of every five teeth. and at a speed of II
turns minute the saw advances about
a yard in that time.

An Apology.

Two well known temperance men of
Kirkaldy, Scotland, were upset one
night, when returning from a temper
ance meeting. In its account of the
mishap the local paper remarked:
Fortunately both gentlemen were
sober at the time" This remark made
them indignant, and they wrote letter
to the editor, saying so. Whereupon the
editor kept up his end by printing this
apology in the next issue Of the paper:
"Messrs.- and - demand an apol-
ogy for our having stated that at the
time of their accident they were both
sober. We have pleasure in withdraw
ing our observation"
