Spca ker Henderson and the Dying
Soldier

Apropos Of Mr. Henderson's war expe-
rience, the following story was told by
one of his colleagues at dinner the other
night, which illustrates as well as any of
the stories concerning him his ready sym
pathy and tact: In the days when Dave
Henderson was q raw young lieutenant
and before he had lost leg in the serv-
ice of his country, he was called to a
man who had been mortally wounded by
the explosion of a gun. He found the
poor fellow lying Oh the grass. swearing
a blue streak at the unfortunate accident
that would cost him his life, while a cal
low young chaplain, kneeling beside the
wounded soldier. vainly expostulated
with him for such blasphemy and be-
sought him to pray, since he was about
to be called into the presence Of his
Maker. The chaplains exhortations had
no effect upon the suffering soldier. how
ever. who continued to swear more loudly
than ever.
kneeling by the side of the soldier, he
said in u voice as tender as a womans:
Can we do nothing for you, my brave fell
l0w?'
The soldier looked up wistfully at the
sound Of the sympathetic words. I'm
afraid it's all up Ire said, family.
Well. if it is. my man, it must be a
happiness and satisfaction to you to- know
that you died for your country. You are
just as much of a hero as though you
had been killed on the field of battle, and
your name will always be revered. God
help you. my brave boy
lis that so? Is that so! murmured
the dying soldier. It's a comfort, sir;
it's a great comfort and, holding the
hand of his young officer, the poor lad

a Bicycle Revival Year.

Manufacturers of bicycles predict that
1900 is to be the greatest year of their
business that this country has ever seen,
and they base this prediction on the size
of the orders already received. The
West, especially, is sending in big orders.
Good roads in the prairie districts and
the prosperity of the farms account for
it. While the well-paved cities of the
East and West are pretty well supplied
with machines, countless farm lads in the
agricultural regions Of the West and
South are having their first experience
with the bicycle, and this development OF
the trade bids fair to reach enormous
proportions in 1900. A well-known bi
cycle expert figures that for every mile
of good road constructed sale of from
ten to twenty bicycles in its vicinity can
be expected. For a time there was a
fear that the automobile craze might in
terfere with the bicycle business. On
the contrary, its effect has apparently
been to stimulate the movements of the
wheel Il Slie'S Weekly.
