The shock he sustained was a most

that his. previous ideas Of death from
strangulation were changed from this

horrible and tortuous death, but said
it was on the contrary quite easy and

He Was There.

Mr. r. w. Whitesides, of Smyrna,
was in Yorkville Monday on business,
and during half hour in which he
was rainbound at Strauss's store, he
entertained the writer with some in.
teresting war "reminiscences.
Mr.. Whitesidcs was orderly sergeant
Of Company B, 18th regiment, and
was with the regiment during all of
its hot work, when he was at home on
account of wounds.
"Oh, yes, I was very much inter-
ested in that old Gaines's Mill casual
ty list,' he said. II was there, and
speaking of Gaines Mill, reminds me
of funny little incident. That
morning 1 had found partridge nest
containing 13 eggs, and I put them in
my Beauregard cap. During the bat
tic we were ordered to charge, and the
charge carried us through a swamp.
l begged up and somehow my cap fell
off, spilling my eggs, but did not
break them"
"And 1 guess you just went on"
suggested listener.
"And I guess didn't do anything
of the kind" said Dir. Whitesides,
with plying look. 1T was a hot
time there; but by that time had
learned by experience that when I got
hold of anything to eat, the proper
thing was to hold on to it. I stuck
right there until I got all of those
eggs that could find and then I went
on"
Mr.. Whiteaides carries the scar Of
bullet that wen, through his left ear
and plowed the flesh to the skull and
along the back of tho head. Asked
as to how he had gotten the wound,
ne said:
"It was at Deep Bottom, or Fra
xier's farm, the next Tuesday after
the battle OF Gaines's hill. Colonel
Barnes knew that the enemy was in
front; but did not know exactly
where, and called for volunteer to 90
forward and uncover him. Somehow
it looked 10 me az T felt called upon

Value Of a Woman's Life.

The recent decision of Judge at
Akron, Ohio, that the value Of a wo-
man 8 life is $500, while that of man
10 $4,000, has created not alone O.
Senoation; but something like en- in
dignant uprising among the women OF
that community They contend, and
not without justice and reason, that
the Court has no right TO lay down
such hard and fast rule, or to ap~
praise masculine and feminine lives by
the rules which govern relative values
OF sheep and oxen.
AS matter Of fact, there are almost
as many exceptions to such general
rule as that OF the Ohio Judge as
there are men and women. When the
law does not put an arbitrary, uniform
valuation on their lives they must be
valued according to their actual or
potential value to those who are or
may be dependent on them. If they
are of no service to anyhody .hea :hc;
are Of no special value to themselves
or any one else. It is absurd to say
that every man. 8 life is worth $40, 900
when there are large numbers of men
who are OF ne more value than ycl-
low dog, and it is equally absurd to
say that every woman life is worth
but $500 when there are large num-
bere of women who are of no moro
value than canary bird
If the value of man Q life is to be
estimated by his services to the COM
munity, there are those whose loss
cannot be computed in dollars. So.
too, are there women whose value to
the community is above price. In
fixing the value of life, where the Law
has not fixed it, the utility of that
life is the fact to be considered. :.
There is no other fair test, and deter.
mined by such test there will be as
many different prices as there are peo.
pie. Alapy women will be appraised
as high as some men and some men
may be appraised as high as many
women. Chicago Tribune.

who is q smaller man than yourself, to
