peration that no less than $4,000 men were
wounded or killed. On the second day.
from early morning, Lees terrific fire was
directed upon the Federal line, which had
been turned against his right. On the
banks of the creek, TO the left of the
bridge, was the 23d Ohio Colonel HAYES
had been wounded shortly before, at South
Mountain, so he was not in comm and of
his regiment this day. He was in the vii
lsge few miles to the rear, watching the
smoke of battle in agonized unrest.
General Scammon was in command in
his stead. Away to the rear was the COM
missary sergeant of the regiment, waiting
for orders. As the hot and dusty day
wore on, and evening fell, this sergeant
grew impatient to be at the front, not to
fight, but to carry food and drink to his
exhausted comrades, who had had neither
breakfast nor dinner. Finally he hooked
up two wagons, called for volunteer drivers
and started for the front without orders.
AS he approached the front one team of
mules was shot down. With the other he
pushed on, Drawing the leaden hail and
the bursting shells, and succeeded in
reaching the boys of his command.
How they cheered him as he drove up!
A few minutes later, Gen. Scammon rode
up TO ascertain the cause OF the cheering.
Instead of reprimanding the boy, he
thanked him for his thoughtfuness and
bravery and permitted him to distrib
the refreshments under fire. With his
own hand Sergeant McKinley-for it was
he-passed around cups of steaming hot
coffee and liberal rations of brea and
meat. The fight proved to the North that
Lee could be defeated.
Colonel Hayes was so pleased when he
heard of this exploit that he asked Cover
nor Todd of Ohio TO commission the boy
lieutenant. This was done September "a,
1862.
Thus in one brave boys life there has
been a triple romance-his enlistment by
a presidential candidate, his recommends
ton, by another man who became Presi-
dent, for a commission, and finally his
own accession to the chief magistracy of
the nation Success.

How Mckinley Won a L,.utsnsn,cy.

There are some romances of war which
almost reconcile one to its grim tragedies,
because war alone can weave the threads
and develop the qualities of heroes.
The civil war had scarcely broken out
when sturdy lad of II walked into the
recruiting office of John c. Fremont, the
great Pathfinder, in an Ohio town.
He simply asked to be enlisted and sent to
the front. His eagerness was noticed by
the veteran plainsman, who spoke kindly
to him and ordered that his name be en-
rolled.
There began life romance which cul-
minated in the White House. The boy
was William Mckinley. He was assigned
to the % Ohio regiment, of which Ruther-
ford B. Hayes was colonel.
At Antietam came an incident which,
in my opinion, is one of the most thrilling
of that awful war. Lee had pushed his
victorious legions into Maryland. Stone
wall jackson was by his side. Longstreet
was in the front of the dght-all on the
Southern side. On the Northern side
were Mcclellan and Sheridan, grimly con-
testing every foot of the advance. On the
first day of the battle, Sept. II, 1862, the
troops on both sides fought with such des-

Iao Tons OF Paper Made Daily.

During the past year the international
paper company's daily product of finished
paper has increased nearly 20 tons. 1t
now aggregates about 800 tons daily during
the year. Their No 10 machine is to be
rebuilt at once, adding large number of
dryers, making a total of - dryers, or
cylinders on one machine. This is the
largest on any machine at Bellows Falls,
and is for the purpore of drying thick pa
pers rapidly. The length Of the machine is
not to be increased, but there will be four
tiers of dryers, one above the other, the two
lower having II and the two upper 10 cyl
inders each. The machine is to make heavy
cardboard of fine quality, and four differ
ent qualities of stock can be used in as
many layers One side of the paper can be
made one color, and the other different
one, the colors being made in the stock.

R.IIo,v, Falls y. Newport 4.

Bellows Falls won from the Newport, n
H., team at BARRIERS park Saturday in the
finest game seen in town this year. The
attendance was large and a delegation
came from Newport with the visiting club.
Newport had as battery Fifeld, formerly
with the Philadelphia national league team,
and Cotter, widely known professional
base ball and polo player Richmond and
Chapman were between the points for the
home team.
1t looked at first as though the contest
would be a walk-over for Bellows Falls,
but Newport picked up on the last inning
and got three men in after they had two
out. Excitement was caused when the last
man to make a run skipped the third base,
but the umpire did not see it" so it was
counted.
The game abounded in fast and sensa-
tional plays. The pitching of Fifeld and
Richmond was of high order. Guiheen's
hitting and the outfelding of Stolworthy
and Henkel were worthy of mention. For
Newport the batting of Chatfeld and Barry,
the outfielding of Carr, and the work of
Deming at third base were the leading
features

docs it not seem almost incredible
that good Christian woman, with heart
as tender as a spring chicken, should wear
an ornament in a Christian church that
cost the life of so beautiful creature as
an egret, scarlet tanager, or Baltimore
oriole? What satisfaction can there be in
headgear plume that cost the life of a
mother bird, whose fedglings were left to
starve in the nest? And yet, from the
Everglades of Florida to the Arctic circle,
the beautiful plumage birds are hunted
solely for the barbaric purpose of decorat-
ing ladies' bonnets. y The American

Chester Surprised Our Team.
Eleven Innings Played Before Bellows
Falls Won, IL 20 IL.

The game at BARRIERS park Tuesday was
indeed surprise party" Our boys ex-
pected to have it easy, but they came near
meeting their match. Chester ran up
good score the first inning, while Bellows
Falls made two runs. Chester made two
more runs in the fourth inning, while Bel
lows Falls did not gather themselves to-
gether to do anything until the sixth inning.
At the end of the ninth the score stood
ten TO ten, and not until the last half of the
eleventh did our boys catch up with and
pass them. Our team could not have held
them if their fielding had been on a par
with their batting. Richmond was hardly
up to his usual standard, but Chapman s
catching and the good fielding overcame
the pitchers weakness.
