repeat his admiration of his courage
and ask me to explain again and again
the isolated and exposed position of the
piece, and then would express his de-
termination that Falligant's gallantry
and service should received their mer-
tied reward
"Once when 1 happened to be there,
soldier from regiment in Kershaws
old brigade, one of those supporting
Falligants gun, came in and reported
that his part of the line was almost
out of ammunition. He was self-pos-
sessed and intelligent and determined.
1 will remember how pale, worn and
powder begrimed he looked. He con-
firmed all / had said as to the posi-
ton and services of Faligants gun and
was enthusiastic about him and his
detachment.
81 went down to the line and after
shaking hands with the infantry and
hearing my plucky comrade compli-
mented on his quick and successful
trip, and seeing the men draw their
rations of powder and ball, ] made my
way to the gun and told Bob and his
gallant detachment what the general
had said about them, when the enemy
again began to press us in a very de-
terlnined way. The infantry ammuni-
ton had been replenished just in time.
1 was struck with the splendid fight
ing spirit of Campbell, the tall, lean
keen-eyed, black-haired gunner of the
piece; but he was entirely too reckless,
standing erect except when bending
over the handspike in sighting the piece
and not much sighting is done at such
short range. Every time the gun belch-
ed it's deadly contents into the woods,
Campbell would throw his cap around
his head and yell savagely. / cautioned
him again and again. When his COM
handing officer or l ordered him to
get down. he would do so for a mo-
ment, but spring up again when the
gun fired. Suddenly l heard the thud
of a mimic stricking man, and Camp
belts hands few up as he fell back
ward, calculating: "Oh, God! I'm done
forever" We lifted the poor fellow
around across the face of the little
work under the mouth of the piece and,
Falligant kneeled by him and pressed
his finger where the blood was spout
ing while l took the gunner's place
at the trail. Every time the gun was
discharged l noticed CampbelPs face
which was almost under the believing
rnuzzle-was contorted but he urged
me to keep up the fire. until finally,
observing a sort of hull in the fight.
proposed to cease firing and note the
effect, and the poor fellow said broken
ly: Well, If you think its safe. ad-
iutantl' then, he added. Tell my
mother / died like soldier"-and he
was gone"
These tributes from the pen of Mai.
Stiles are the love-offering of COM
rade. who Justly appreciated merit.
TWO more lovable men than Willis and
Falligant did not exist and from one
who knew them from childhood, it is
a sad pleasure to present to the peo-
nile of their old home the commenda-
ton and affectionate praise of Maj.

less numbers has passed the Ostfin-
marken and are on their way south
ward. All fish is either bel = eaten or
driven from the fiords. The only hope
| of the fishermen in this section of the
country is that the kobben will return
TO its most northerly haunts, where it
generally is wont to retire at the end
Of February" From Tromso comes
| the report that the Russo Kobben" is
| blockading tire whole coast from Va
rangerfiord to Lofoden So alarming
has the situation become that Herr
Aasen has a proposition before the
storthing to adopt means and measures
for destroying the "kobben." Herr
Aasen suggests that several vessels be
sent into the fiords to make n whole
sale slaughter of the sealions, and 9th
ers again have suggested to pour pc
| troleum into the tiords where they APP
pear thickest. If nothing is done it
is alleged that the winter fisheries
along the entire coast will be a COM
plete failure, thus causing much dis
tress among the poor fishermen.
Rumors of var with Sweden over the
| consulate question are being circulated
throughout Norway. A member of the
storthing, speaking - Tredael the
| other day, informed his audience that
war should begin within three months
time If the question should not be
solved. Much Importance has been
conferred by the public on the state
ment reported to have been made in
the storthing last autumn by Colonel
Sporch, chairman of the army COM
mittee, to the effect that he opposed
any reduction in the army budget on
the ground that 1t would be necessary
for the army to march to the frontier
before spr Jug. Colonel Sporch has
acknowledged through the press that
he made such statement, but added
that It was only fun" The Swedish
press says that inasmuch as Colonel
Sporch has been ordered to proceed to
Stockholm as Norway's military repre-
sentative, his sense of humor will be
much appreciated.
On Jan. % the storthing, by a vote
of 81 to 80, adopted the motion of
President Berner, presented Jan. 81, to
the effect that the storthing declares
that, in order to promote the interests
of Norway and assure the maintenance
Of the good relations existing between
the united Kingdoms, it Is d. rable
that separate consular systems be es-
tablished, Independent of the diplo-
matte service and of the ministry of
foreign affairs

Mount Mckinley.

Mount Mckinley, the highest peak
on the continent of North America,
was visited last season by a party of
the United States geological survey.
So far as is known this is the first time
that white men have reached even the
slopes of the peak. though it's altitude
was determined, from a distance, in
1898. The mountain is a great dome
shaped mass, formed of intrusive rock,
that towers to an Elevation OF more
than 10000 feet above sea level.
Though so much higher than Mount st.
Elias its ascent is probably not so diff
cult, and the task will probably be soon
attempted. Details of the routes of
approach 10 the mountain are soon to be
printed by officers of the geological
survey.-Chicago Journal.
