Humorous Incident of the War.


Out of the New England States
early in the COS, marched a youngster
in blue-a runaway drummer boy.
Frank Bancroft is an inimitable story
teller, and the influence of the granite
hills always draws from him some
new "Reminiscences when he reaches
the stamping ground of youth
I'm my regiment" unused the old
war horse, 1.-The chaplain, who was a
good old soul, had charge of the mail,
and when we were at the front he
was peStered to death by the boys
who wanted to know when to expect
letters from home. One morning he
fell upon a scheme to save his breath
and he pinned the notice on his hat:
L Don't Know When the Next Mail
Will Come In Some wag took down
the sign and scrubbed the profane
addition: And 1 Don't Give a D-n!'
When the parson saw the amended
proclamation he was wild, but he new

1t wouldn't be far shot to guess
that one Frank Bancroft might have
had a hand in it.

TWICE REPORTED DEAD

Its a very difficult matter to iden-
tify dead people, and it has often hap
pened that the supposed dead man
has turned up months afterward,"
of Arkansas, to a party of friends,
says the Washington correspondent
of the Boston Journal
81 know of case of mistaken
identity of a dead man which was,
perhaps, the most remarkable case
on record. 1t was during the civil
war. A confederate soldier by the
name of Bradshaw, belonged to the
Sixteenth Arkansas, of which regi-
ment Senator Berry was a member
After the battle of Pea Ridge Brad
shaw was reported killed and his
body was identified by his comrades.
He was buried.
Some months later, to the aston
ishment of his messmates, Bradshaw
appeared among them. He explained
that he had been captured by the
Yankees and had just made his es-

cape. His comrades gave him a
warm welcome, after telling him how
they mourned his death.
1.-TWO years later Lieut.. McKennon,
of the Sixteenth Arkansas, came upon
the dead body of Confederate SOL
der He positively identified it as
Bradshaw's, for he knew Bradshaw
well. The lieutenant had but one
blanket, in which he wrapped the
supposed Bradshaw for burial. The
lieutenant reported Bradshaw's death.
There was no mistake this time, the
boys were sure. But six months
later, one morning, just as the regi-
ment was breaking camp, Bradshaw
turned up, very much alive.
Lieut.. McKennon could hardly be-
lieve his eyes. He had been so posi-
tive that ne had buried the real Brad
shaw. That was the last time such
a mistake occurred for the twice
buried Bradshaw remained with his
company until the end of the war; He
may still be alive"

which 1 received but very little relief.
Being advised to use st. Jacobs Oil.
l did so, and am happy to say that
after a few applications l felt great
relief, and continuing it's use 1 can
now say 1 am perfectly well. st.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion, thing
which should be in every household"
What a blessing, and what hours of

have been saved had Mr.. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
St. Jacobs Oil at first, instead OF
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which, unfortunately, the market is
flooded. The public should not lose

WHERE BRADDOCK FELL

The protected memorial tablet in
Kennywood Park, Pittsburg, to COM
memorate Gen. Braddock's crossing
of the Monongahela river at that
point has awakened public interest in
those chapters of local history relat-
ing to the ill-starred expedition
against Fort Duquesne, and every me-
mento of Braddocks defeat is being
unearthed. The exact locality of the
battle in the wilderness is being
sought, and probably will be marked
by a suitable monument.
The ground occupied by the Brit
ish and colonists in the fight on July
9, 1855, has long been a matter of dis
pute, but the best authorities agree
that the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
ton in Braddock is near the spot
where the most severe fighting oc-

the British vanguard, advanced high
er up the hill, but his men soon were
driven back, and Braddock's position
was confined to a cramped line flank
ing the narrow roadway which Cages
men had cut through the forest. Near
this road Braddock was mortally
wounded while striving to check the
panic among his veterans. The re-
treat had been sounded and the mar
row thoroughfare was crowded with
the frightened troops. The spot
where Braddock fell, however, never
can be pointed out with accuracy, as
every vestige of the road has long
since disappeared. Nevertheless there
is tradition which receives credit
among many residents of the town of
Braddock that tree is still standing
over the place where the British lead
er met his fate.

TRIAL FINISHED.
Mayor Waller Charged With Executing
Natives Without Trial.

Manila, April 12.-Judge Advocate
Major Henry p. Kingsbury replied to-
day to the summing up before the
court martial yesterday by Captain
Arthur T. Mark. representing Major
Lytleton W. T. Waller, who is being
tried for executing natives of Samar
without trial. Major Kingsbury made
an eloquent address. He contended
Waller was under military and not
martial law and there was nothing in
the conduct of the men who were shot
deserving of such punishment. The
Judge advocate blamed Waller himself
for the disasters which befell the ma
'rines and accused him of abandoning
ter helpless comrades. whose bones
were now bleaching on the banks OF
the Lanang," to die of hunger. Cap
tain Mark requested permission to
make a short reply. He protested
strongly against criticism of the way
in which Waller conducted the cam
paign. which. he said. was outside the
case. and again insisted that martial
law ruled by the mere nature of cordi'
tions. The court delibeIated less than
half an hour. No decision was an
nounced.
