SOLDIERS IN BATTLE,
The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.

The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.
If you take dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far rs height.
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance go and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you will
find that scarcely any two Of them are
affected alike.
One man on receiving bullet in his
leg will go on fighting as if nothing
had happened. He does not know, in
fact, that he now contains bullet
But perhaps in two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall.
Another man, without feeling the
slightest pain. will tremble all over,
tOtter and fall at once, even though
the wound is really very slight.
"A third will cry out in way to
frightcn his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. \ fourth will
grow stupid and look like an idiot.
Some soldiers wounded in the slight
est manner will have to be carried Off
the field. Others, although perhaps
fatally injured. can easily walk to the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock to the nervous system.
a very curious case is recorded in
the surgical history Of the American
civil war. In which three officers were
hit just at the same time. One had
his leg from the knee down carried
away. but he rode ten miles to the
hospital Another lost his little finger,
and he became raving maniac, while
a third was shot through the body
and, though he did not shed a drop Of
blood externally. he dropped dead from
the shock.-New York Telegram.

Origin Of the Boat.

Only lately has the original boat been
found In use and among the savagcs
OF the south sea islands. There tho
natives take the stump Of tree whose
roots offer good seat. and, launching
this primitive craft, they paddle around
as contentedly as IL there was no such
thing as n European steamer, and, to
tell the truth. they do not suspect it's
existence.
There can be no doubt whatever that
In this stump boat we have the original
method Of transportation by water.
Accident certainly contributed to this
discovery.
A tired swimming savage found log
hOating near him. He grasped it and
found that 1t held him above water.
He mounted his log and used n floating
branch to propcl the log.
1t was but step from the log to the
more comfortable root OF tree and
another step from the branch propeller
to q shaped paddle.

A Tribute to the Country Editor.

4 Tribute to the Count Editor.
In speech in opposition to the
Loud postal reform service bill,
Congressman Champ Clark paid
the following Just tribute to the
country editor which will be ap-
preclated by the craft regardless of
party:
Having once been a country
editor myself, | entertain the
most kindly feeling for my old
confreres. | am willing to make
affidavit that the eleven months /
spent editing rural journal were
lhe most benifical of nv life to
myself, perhaps to others. | am
proud to have belonged TO the
editorial guild. l am unalterably
opposed to anything that will IN
jure the country editor, curtail his
profits, cirumscribe his usefulness
or place mn additional thorn in his
pathway.
The rural editor--God bless
hlm!-ls the most presltent of
teachers. Like Charity, as des-
crlbed by st. Paul in the thirteenth
chapter of First Corinthians, he
:ssuffereth long and is kind which
can not be said of the man that got
up this bill. HE envieth not"
IN which he does not resemble
some people over on this side of
the house. she vaunteth not
hlmself," in witch he is unlike the
leaders on the other side of the big
aisle. '!He is not puffed up" In
which he does not resemble a
good many OF us. she does not
behave himself unseemly; seeketh
not his own, Is not easily pro
yokedn.
He is the pack horse of every
community, the promoter of every
laudable enterprise, the worst un-
paid laborer in the vineyard.
Counting his space as capital he
gives more to charity, his means
considered, than any other mem
Der OF society. Line upon line
paragraph upon paragraph, he is
enbalming IN cold type the facts
from winch the Herodotus, the
Tactitus, the Sismondi OF the Ma
cauley of the future will write the
history OF our times. He joyously
announces our advent into the
world, briefly records our uprising
and downsltting, and sorrowfully
chronicles our advent from this
vale of tears. He is the greatest
and most ingenious of manafactu-
rers, for, while other manutactu-
rers produce only perishable stuii

REED AND HIS MUsTAcHE.
The Man from Maine Was Proud OF
It Tiil q barber Did. 1t UP
for Him.

.aThe members of the last two congresses
will recall the smooth-shaven visage of
former Speaker Reed" said an old attache
of the house to a Times reporter the other
day. "And the older members will likewise
remember that Reed at one time wore a
mustache of a few struggling hairs, so often
seen on the upper lips of extremely heshy
men. How Mr.. Reed parted with his hirsute
apology can best be told by a certain barber
in the house of representatives who attended
to that gentleman's wants.
"One day the big man from Maine settled
himself in the BARRIERS chair and requested
d shave. When the operation was completed
MI. Reed Strengthened himself and asked:
Have you any Of that old-fashioned pomade
to wax mustaches WITH
"The barber hustled among his pots and
Jars and produced a French preparation in
vogue a quarter of a century ago, and then
proceeded to wax the ends of the Maine
statesman's few wirelike hairs.
"When the man of snapshot sentences
arose and contemplated himself in the glass
he turned to the astonished barber and said:
Cut this blanked-blank mustache off, for
you have made me look like a confounded
catfish

covering beneath his ose."-Washington

Our men were coming like The wind,
but not too fast for ne ~to.recognize the
man who rode at their head. Ridera and
horse dashed on like a %centaur, with
huge leaps, the horses eyes not more
cleaning, his nostrils not more dis
tended, than those of the general.
There was a shock between the two
| opposing lines, a shouting, swearing,
volleys. The confederates were en-
barrassedw with their panic-stricken COM
rades; the union troops made a wedge
through their center and sent them
flying down the road.
The general having ordered q pur-
suit. turned his horses head and rode
leisurely back.
"General!'I cried, as he was riding
past without seeing us.
~ expected to see his face light up
with joy; instead, as soon as his eyes
rested upon us, he started, and looked
at. us o%minously.
"We've brought the news, general"
Without needing my words, he
turned to Maj. Ping, who was near.
"Major," he said, in a voice that froze
the marrow in my bones, 'arrest those

Margaret and I looked at each other

what proof have you, general?'
Margaret asked.
Proof! One of your men came in
not an hour ago and revealed the whole
plot"
"Who?"
"Private Enoch Mellodew."
"He les" I cried. 'sWill you believe
a coward before your own aide-de'
camp?"
"There is supporting evidence
against the aide"
"But Corporal Plunk-he knows the
truth"
"He has not returned"
"Dut he will"
"Mellodew reports that he was
taken in disguise in the enemy's lines
and hanged"

Margaret" I cried, ''who is to shield us
from that hound?"
Guard" cried the general.
A corporal and half a dozen men rode
up and surrounded us. We were toe
weak to walk, and mounts were pro
vided for us, on which we rode to tht
plantation, not as triumphant bearer:
of important military information, bu1
as prisoners.
