from our regiment and doing special
duty looking for stray guerlllas who
were continually running through our
lines, administering a blow and then
running away. Not any Of us had
been within gunshot of the firing line
and few had talked to one who had.
However, just as often as we bl-
youacked we were frightened.
zone morning rumor came that a
big squad Of guerilla cavalry had been
seen the night before only a short dis
tance ahead of us. We were not out
to retreat, even though we were so
afraid Of our lives that we all wished
we had never enlisted, so we kept
moving Suddenly a terrible gallop-
ing was heard just in front Of us and
beyond a small hill. We thought it
was n cavalry charge and formed to
meet 1t.
1T fell to my lot to kneel down in
front with my bayonet pointed at an
angle to receive the charging enemy.

had several sklrmishes with the Con-
federates, in which we lost a number
of our men. On the morning of Octo-
Der 10 a comrade named Jack Dorst-
man and myself were sent to make
detour through the foothills and try
to discover a good road for an ad-
vance.
1--WE had proceeded about a mile
from the camp when without a mo-
ments warning we came face to face
with seven rebels, all heavily armed
and on the lookout for us. 1t was a
dght place, and meant either capture
or death, for we could not hope to
cope with seven. Just as the fore
most rebel brought his piece to his
shoulder an idea came to me like a

Well, when we began to run and the
bullets began to whizz over our heads
we ducked at every sound, whether the

March Fourth,

From the Indianapolis News.
The proposition to change Inauguration
day seems to be a good deal like the an
nouncement of the Speaker Of the House for
the President of the Senate that eff the ap-
plause be repeated the galleries will be
cleared" The galleries never are cleared.
1t is well known, althogh the applause f.,
repeated VIXEN the applauders see ft So
the announce ement of the change of inau-
guration day may be received with similar
skepticism. even though Representative
Dick has introduced a bill making this
change from the 4th of March to the Both
of April There Is no reason that we know
of why the change should not be made and
a good many why 1t should be. The Both
of April has the sentimental recommended
tion of being the day on which Washington
was inausurated, and there Is the pre-
sumption that on that date the weather will
be less trying than in March. Even in a
climate as mild as Washington the 4th of
March is historically known as time when

GENIUS AND DISEASE.
Intellectual Briliiancy Due to Nalfor-
nation of the Brain.

From the Anacouda Standard.
1t is an old problem, but scientists never
seem to tire of tracing the connection be-
tween genius and disease Recently a
Paris psychologist announced that he had
the brain produces intellectual brilliancy.
The theory is that deformity. disease or
accident causes the abnormal development
of some one part of the prain and the
result is genius. In support of this sew
eral cases are mentioned.
II is announced that NJ Berthelot had
malarial fever when he was but five years
old and that two years later he struck
his forehead a stunning blow against a
milestone. This blow depressed the era
mum and injured the frontal lobes of the
brain The peculiar genius of the great
French chemist is said to be due to this
accident.
1t is pointed out that Milton wrote his
Paradise Lost while he was blind, and
1t is said that the blindness confined his
mind to certain scope in manner that
made it possible for him to evolve the
great epic. Cases of a somewhat different
nature are shown In the elegant writings
of Thomas De Quincy and Samuel Tay-
ior Coieridge. both of whom had brains
in which the excessive use of opium had
made havoc. De Quincy describes his hor-
ribie experience with opium taken in the
form of laudanum in his Confessions OF
an English Opium Eater" Byron's club
foot is seriously advanced as the cause of
his lyric power and the point is made
that Sir Walter Scott's most brilliant work
was dictated from a sick bed. Mozart
and Wagner both had deformed brains,
said to have been due to disease and
bumps while they were children.

GUARDING A PRESIDENT.
An English mans Singular Experience
In the City of Mexico.

From the Kansas City Star.
Danger OF assassination Is never far
from a president of any Of the republics
south OF U.S. said Mr.. John Walker Braith-
waite Of London. on the way from Mexico
to his English home, "and they are guarded
much more carefully than many of us i'm
agine, for they make no great display In
the matter.
This fact was impressed on me very
strongly by personal experience in the
City Of Mexico last spring. I had been
thrown from a mule and had suffered a
severe sprain IN my right wrist, in conse-
quence Of which 1 had it closely bandaged,
and after it was well enough not to be car
ried in sling 1 went about with 1t in the
side pocket of my sack coat
while walking with my injured hand
thus supported early one evening I saw
President Diaz whom I knew quite well,
ber of his official household. They were
walking on the same side of the street as
myself. and some sixty feet behind them
and at the same distance in front walked
two men, who wore no insignia of au shortly
and in no WY showed that they had any
thing to do with the president and his
companion.
'.As the two men in front neared me they
separated making room for me to pass be-
tween them. and as 1 was doing so the man
on the left knocked against my arm as
though by accident, and naturally 1 drew it
out and away from danger. He apolog:zed
politely in Spanish. took hold of my hand
gently as he did SO and asked If it had
been injured. AS 1 was accepting his
apology and beginning to tell of my hurt
the president came up and, greeting me
heartily. laughed at the situation and ex-
planned that the two men were guarding
him and had deliberately made me expose
my hand to make sure that / did not hold
in it some weapon with intent to injure
him. The presidents guardians are very
watchful and it would be almost impossi-
bic for ar armed man to get near enough
to him to do him injury

Though our best institutions are undoubt-
