He Did Not Look Back.

At the siege Of vicksburg. on May
%, 1863, the Ninety-ninth Regiment OF
Illinois Volunteers was ordered to
charge upon the defensive position oc-
cupied by the Second Texas Regiment
Of the Confederate Army.
Don't look back, boys" was the
command which the Colonel gave as
the regiment moved forward for the
charge.
At the head Of the line Of advancing
IllinOisans was Thomas Higgins, the
young cOlOr-bearer. He held the stars
and stripes alOft. and marched straight
for the works. Before long the regi-
ment struck withering fire, and re-
cOiled before it. The line advanced.
wavered. broke, and fell back.
But Thomas Higgins. bearing the col
ors, was mindful Of the Coloners COM
mand, Don't look back" He did not
look back, and as he could hear moth
ing but the roar Of the enemy's fire
he kept marching on. the stars and
stripes held aloft. alone.
A soldier Of the Texas regiment.
Charles Evans by name. has told the
rest Of the story in an affidavit sub
mitted at the War Department.
HE never looked back. He never
noticed the retreat Of his regiment, but
came bounding forward. his colors 1y-
ing as prettily as a soldier ever saw.
When within forty yards Of our works
word was passed along the line not te
shoot the brave soldier, and all firing
ceased.
when Higgins saw his predicament
he started to retreat with his colors,
but we told him to come on or We
would have to shoot him. Several men
ran out and brought him within the
breastworks. We kept him several
days. during which time we learned tc
like and admire him. He was then par.
Oled."
Several other Texas soldiers remem-
bered Higgins exploit. and made am
davits supporting Mr.. Evans. On these
afiidavits Secretary Alger granted to
Higgins a medal Of honor for valoroue

He Hid in a Box.

Thirty-e eight years ago the Northern
soldiers, in a chase after John Starnes,
frightened him so badly that he turned
over q large box on himself and lay
there hidden until they had gone
When night came he removed the box
TO the woods. and since that time he
has made that box his home.
Starnes lives five miles northwest Of
Blacksburg, s. G. His box is surround
ed by poles to protect his hiding place.
He will even run from q horse, COW
or sheep. The only way by which you
can see the wild man Is by slipping
upon him when at his box house. Then
he will stop and look you straight in
the face. II you viii agree with him
then he will talk. but unless you do he
will either get his gun or go into his
box. Starnes is now 55 years old. Be-
fore the war he assisted his father In
making hats. The hat he now wears
was made before the war by his father.
He offers no excuse for his way OF
living. He will accept money from no
one. He will ''cuss" IL you offer him
money. He is in excellent health. He
fishes. catches and kills rabbits. eats
acorns. etc. He makes his bread on
a fiat rock. 1t has been said that
Starnes has plenty of money.--Ruther-

He Wa. in the Civil War.

ON the South Side recently had an ex.
perience which served to dampen her

contends that charity is correct as
broad principle, and should not be
abandoned unless it is conclusively
proved that it is misplaced The case
in question occurred q few days aga
when a poor and decrepit-lOOking wom-
an called at the door and asked fof
assistance. Hers was a sad story.
Her husband had been killed while
fighting the battles of his country, way
back In the civil war. leaving her with
several children to support. She had
done this nObly for years, but now
they had grown up she had found
them ungrateful and had nothing to
rely upon for support In her old age.

young matron to he a worthy one, n
there ever was one, and she prepared
to relieve the distress Of the applicant
Immediately. As she was gathering
up viands, clothing and other neces-

on the needy one, 1t occurred to her to
ask one question:
'Why is it," she asked, that you
have not applied to the government
for a pension; the government would
surely grant you One?
Il did" replied the widow, sobbinx
pitifully, ''but they refused to grant
it."
Surely that is most extraordinary"
mused the young matron; did you ev-
er get any reason from the pension de-
partment why they would not grant
it?"

cant; they said my husband was
