WHiPPLE'S CLOSE SHAVE
One of the Men Whom Bullets or Fe.

In Boston one Of the noblest soldiers

all the regulars who met him, as | had
occasion to know, with high respect for
the sort of officers which Massachu-
sets sometimes puts into the field.
l have spoken Of Maj. Whipple as a
veteran of the civil war. A tragedy of
patriotism hangs by that circumstance.
After serving his country well as a
young man in that war, he went out
again promptly to this one, and this
time he took with him his son In his
own regiment. The son lost his life in
the terrible Santiago campaign. but the
father came back again; he Is alive and
reports himself well to-day, insisting
that he Is none the worse for his two
wars. There are some men whom neith-
er bullets nor fevers can get at. They
can come near them. but they cannot
touch. / have story of the major to
prove this.
When the Second Massachusetts was
under fire before Santiago and the men
were lying fat on the ground, Maj.
Whipple stood up looking through
field glass at the enemy-and he made
a good mark, for he Is six feet high and
broad-shouldered. As he was peering
thus something struck him In the face
and eyes with such force and violence
that for the moment the major had no
sort of doubt he had been killed. The
missile, whatever 1t was. stung like
fire and one Of his eyes panied him as
II 1t had been pierced. He put his hands
to his face, took them away and looked
at them. There was no blood. Then
he looked around wonderingly, as much
as to say: what was it?' A soldier
was able to answer the question. Here
1t is, major" he said. and he picked up
a chip that a Mauser bullet had clipped
off a tree close by and brought along
With n The hlIllpt cOuld not touch the
major with the charmed life, but it
spitefully flung the chip in his face as it
passed by.

Getting RID OF Friction.

A novel invention has been exhibited
before large number of persons by J.
NJ. Aives, a Russian civil engineer, 10
st. Petersburg. With this invention
he proposes to revolutionize wheel loco
motion. By attaching it to the wheels
of any vehicle friction is reduced to its
lowest possible limit. To the amaze
ment of the spectator an ordinary
horse easily drew wagon loaded with
two and a half tons of goods. The
mechanism of this device was kept
secret. the wheels being covered with
a wooden framework. This precau-
ton on the part of the inventor, it was
explained, was because he had just ap-
piled for a patent and did not wish his
invention made public until it had been
protected by the patent.
