only boy in my teens. took pari
in nearly every engagement that our
regiment was in We opened the
seven day fight around Richmond at
Gaructt's farm. We lost half our
men; the Eighth Georgia about the

fight while Jackson was coming in Nc
Clclland S rear One of my close calls
was at Malvern Hill, another at
Sharpsburg, Md, Booncsborough
Mountain, Wilderness, F'rcdercks-
burg, Brandy Station, Gettysburg
(thcrc received dangerous wound),
and many others too numerous to
mention. But the one 7 will relate
happened near Ccntrcvillc, Va. Our
regiment vas on picket duty some five
or six miles north Of Centrevillc. BY
some means We heard that there was
some Yankees mile or so in front of

chicvous three Of us decided We would
hunt them up, so we got our guns and
"a I ~
Foster and myself. We struck out,
following country road until we came
to 4 fence. just back in the planta-
ton stood farm house, some quarter
of mile distant We very cautious
ly advanced toward the house and we
met little negro boy as we neared
the house, some IL or ii years old.
We asked him if there was any Yam
KEGS about there. lie only grinned
and made no reply. We walked
around the house right into the face
of u whole company of Federal SOL
dicrs. AS we turned the corner of
the house they fired a volcy at US,
not more than 3 to Is feet from us.
BROOKS knocked one Of their gu, up
with his hand. AS he fired the hall
passed over his head We all three
fired into them | saw several Of
them stagger as if to fall, but we did
not stay to see how many fell We
t:;ok III our heels and I think it was
the best run Of the war.
They continued to fire on US until
wc reached the fence md woods
which were about a quarter Of mile
from where we started When we
reached the picket post we found our
regiment in linc Of battle ready for an
attack. 1t they followed us further
than the fence we never knew it.
When relating this story to my wife
she asked me why they didn't kill us
all. | told her had never been able
to tell why as the balls passed over us,
under us, by tho side of us and every
where but far from US. Brooks was
killed after that occurrence in some
engagement. Jim Foster still lives.
He lives in Cobb County, near Ac-
worth, in this State, and I will stop
here to say better soldier never went
into field of battlo than James Foster,
of Company b, Seventh Regiment.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

"1n the winter Of 1898 and 1899 I
was taken down with a severe attack
of what is called La Grippe" says F.

Winfield, Ill. 'The only medicine I
used was two bottles of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy, It broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,

GER MAN VILLAGE
Will BE One of the Most Picturesque
Spots at Buffalo

Gait Nurnberg.'' the German village a,
the Pan-American exposition, will be
ore of the most picturesque spots on the
exposition grounds at Buffalo. Great at
tention has been paid to the architec-
tural reproductions of buildings In the
famous old city of Nurnberg, and to
visitors who have seen the originals, they
will bring up many associations of the
Fatherland.
The main entrance is a rer ABDUCTION
of the old "Nassauer Haus'' and one OF
the first buildings to catch the eye on
entering the village, is st. Moritz church
it is the Frauen tower, in which Frau
lein Antonio Stole, of Boston, Mass.

paintings in the galleries of the old world.
by use of the stereopticon. These rep
reservations are faithful, even to the
beauty Of color, which is secret process
of Fraulein Stolle's.
Another artistic feature, Is the repro
ducti ion of the home Of Aibrecht Duerer:
the famous painter, who did his greatest
work Of the seventeenth century. Even
the furnishings Of his old studio are
used in making the scene more realistic.
and the old Bra twurst Gloecklein, where
Duerer and Hans Sachs, the poet, met in
lllt SfCliAl1S ~ CliJoy IAASAA bSSA 80 ~
pipes, is also faithfully represented.
In fact, "Alt Nurnberg'' will be a
place where the exposition visitor, be he
native German, German-American or
American, may enjoy any amount Of time
spent within the medieval wall that sur
rounds the entire spot. The Tenth in
fantry regiment band of Bavaria, headed
by Max Schott, the royal Bavarian band
master, will furnish music in the market
place every day and evening during the
term of the exposition Luchow's Pan
American restaurant, under the personal
management of f. A. Wahl, Of Luchow's
famous place on Fourteenth street, New
York, has provided for the demands of
the inner man, and will be well stocked
with things to please German Americans
and their friends.
One important point in connection with
Alt Nurnberg'' Is the fact that out
side of the charge OF admission to the
village itself, there are no drains on the
purse FOR the many features within All
are free-an uncommon thing at an es-
post ion.

AS the mirage is SO infrequent the

little is said about it, it is probable that
the majority Of Americans know OF it
only by name, though, they may have
read descriptions Of the mirage Of the
Sahara desert or the fata morgana of
Sicily and Southern italy. Occasionally,
1T may be seen across Lake Ontario

This happens but once in many years III.
But, the mirage Of the Southwest be-
