and closely pressed mounted infantry
corps had been drawn in, and the
Beers driven back out of range, when
| Gen. French heard tremendous
pounding of Colt guns away to the left.
| They found Howard about a half a
mile in advance of the main body and
in splendid position. He was pouring
| a heavy fire into a ridge from which
| there was continuous rifle fusilades.
| After much trouble the Beers were
| driven back, and Howard and his lit
| tie battery reached After it was all
over and Cat had received a proper
a dressing-doWn from the general. he
was sitting in a contemplatve mood
in camp, when one of his brother Off
GERS said to him why did you get
so far forward?" well" replied How
ard. Il was trying to clean those chaps
out. and if the rest of you fellows had
followed me we would have done it,
yes. but you were under an awful
! fire. were you not?' "Of course re
turned Howard; but then, how are
you going to lick those Beers if yot
uont get up closo?' This was typi
cal of the American scouts work al
through the campaign.

of which he is a member. The affair
had been so cleverly arranged that Mr..
Pearson had no suspicion of the
scheme. lie was called from the
store after the arrival of the guests.
Although taken at a disadvantage, he
was equal to the occasion, and at once
made his visitors feel the genuineness
of his welcome The evening was
spent socially with games and music.
Refreshments were served during the
evening, and while the guests were
still seated, NJ. S. Leach, in behalf of
the choir. expressed their appreciation
of Mr.. Pearsons help while he had
been associated with them, and their
sincere regret at his departure-a re-
gret mingled with hearty good wishes
for his future happiness and prospect
ty, closing by presenting him with two
handsome illustrated volumes on for
eign travel by Cook. Mr., Leach was
followed by short speeches by others,
to all of which Mr.. Pearson feelingly
responded, thanking them for the
gifts. but even more for the feel
ing which prompted it. The singing
