VITALITY AND PLUCK.
Terrible Wound Did Not Deter a Sol
der Boy from Leading
Il CHARGE

AS an instance of remarkable vitality
and pluck l believe a surgical case we
had at the battle Of Lexington. No, in
September, 1861, will equal ANYTHING
during the war, says the American Trib-
une.
member of company e, Thirteenth
Missouri, was struck by a cannon ball
which carried away his arm and shout
der, and also lacerated his chest. This
happened about four p. m. the first day
of our fight. The boy was picked up
and carried to the hospital, but as the
case was considered hopeless and many
others to attend to, nothing was done
for him until IL p. NJ, when all the other
wounded had been cared for. Finding
him still alive he was carried to the
table and his wounds carefully dressed,
but with no expectation of recovery. On
the seventh day Prices men captured our
hospital, which was in a brick building
some 200 yards to our right, and our
wounded were put in cellar to be out
of the way of bullets. When our men
charged to retake the hospital this boy
seized gun in his one hand, ran out with
arms at trail from the cellar, and led
the charge into and through the build
ing. He lived through the trials and ex-
posures of our imprisonment and is liv-
ing to-day

LINCOLN'S WAY ROUND.
Got Soldier Boy His Discharge in
Spite of the Secretary
of War.

Many stories of Abraham Lincoln
turn upon his tact. One was told re-
Gently before the MiddleseX club and re-
peated in the Boston Herald. During
the civil war a Bridgeport boy, return
ing from school, was taken by bounty
agent and hurried to the front withou,
his parents knowledge. His father, the
vain for his releases and delegation of
citizens, who appealed to the secretary
of war, met with gruff refusal
In the hope of being able to accom-
plish something, Congressman Brande-
gee and Senator Dixon, of Connecticut
determined to use their influence in be-
half of the afflicted mother They visit
ed the secretary of war and asked fer
the boys release. Mr. Stanton instant
ly roared out an absolute refusal He
had decided that case before The boy
had taken his money and enlisted If
he should discharge all the minors
whose mothers wanted them at home
there would soon be no soldiers at the
front
Leaving the war Office the congress-
man and senator went to the white
house and appealed to the president
Mr.. Lincoln heard the case with SYM
pathetic interest and at once wrote on
an envelopes:
Let young Beardsley, of Connecticut
a minor enlisted by fraud in the 18th
New York regiment, be discharged and
sent Immediately to Washington.
"a LINCOLN"
The two men returned to the war Of
flee and showed this order to the sec
rotary. He glanced at it, crumpled it liz
his fingers, threw it on the floor and
said: Il won't do it,
Shall report that to the president o.
Congressman Brandegee asked
'Yes!'' roared the secretary. "And
you may add that I'll resign my port
folio before I'll adopt such precedent
as that"
The men reported to the president
everything that had occurred.
did Stanton say that after reading
my order?" asked Mr. Lincoln.
Eyes, Mr.. Brandesee replied, expect
ing an explosion
WELL" Mr.. Lincoln said, with slow
smile, Il guess he would do it. We must
find some other way to get that boz
back to his mother
He took piece of paper and wrote
to the commanding officer of the regi-
ment: Discharge young Beardsley
and send him to Washir gton

sired. In No. 1 the work will be found
quite simple if the hexagons are worked
first, as the dotted lines show, then the
other lines, making an elaborate and in
tricate pattern when finished.
In No. 2 the thread must be carried
under the material, making a stitch on
the wrong side, and after the outside
lines are worked it will not be at all
difficult to finish the pattern.
These bands are suitable also for the
ends Of bureau scarfs. work bags, sash
curtains, or anything one can think Of
that can be made of the toweling. A
beautiful center-piece and plate doilies
can be made by hemstitching and work
ing simple band all around inside, the
centerpiece having corners like those IL
Illustrated worked in two shades of green
one very pale, the other one quite dark.
And what more serviceable than tray
cover with such corner darned in two
shades of blue?
Any design is excellent for work bag
when followed out in pale lavender and
a medium shade of yellow. For the
fringe, ravel out about five inches of the
buck. and, making a fine knot on the
wrong side, draw through alternate
threads of lavender, yellow and black,
about quarter of an inch apart, cut
ting it off the length of the other fringe.
Now knot these together in some simple
manner, and desirable and useful bag
will be the result. It may have a cas-
ing and ribbons to draw it together and
be stitched all around on the machine,
and it will be as good as new each time
it is washed
The New York Herald says that after
becoming accustomed to the work the
most elaborate patterns may be fol-
lowed, and will usually be found hand
somer If the design has double line.
Anything can be adapted to this work
that has sharp corners and diagonal
lines, as, for instance, the old patterns
for cross stitch.

washing very well. The effect of an "old
bleach waist, with cuff bands, stripe
down box plat in front, and stocks,
Garned in turquoise blue and black, is
very good. AS the two threads are
darned in at the same time, it is some
times the blue and sometimes the
black which shows the most. Pale
blue and dark blue, light green and
black, dark blue and green, pink and
black are all good oolCr schemes, and if
something very extra is wished three
threads-black, light blue and shrimp
piDk-are very rich, all three being
worked in at oEce.

PAINTING LACE A FAD,
Artistic Girls Have Made the Dfsc0v-
cry That Color Adds to beauty
of Fabric.

The fad for painting on lace gives a
chancd to the girl who has more artistic
ideas than she has skill with her brush.
A certain part of the design OF the
lace is selected, and the color is lightly
applied. Care and lightness of touch are
all necessary for the amateur to succeed
as we'll as the artist. It is the easiest
thing in the world to bring out the
roses, and violets, and the different
wreaths, and garlands which appear In
the laces which adorn everything.
A white silk parasol with lace medal
lions can be made much more beautiful
by adding color to it in this way. A
simple little gauze fan with lace motifs
set inibecomes artistic If the tiny flowers
are painted A pair of pink silk hose with
lace insets is worth double the price II
the small sprays of arbutus In the de-
sign are just touched with pink.
Even the wash laces are painted In
stead of working out the design, in col
ored cotton, as IS also done on both lace
and embroidery. The painting is far
less tedious process, and for thin gowns
is a great deal more beautiful.
To make it practical for trimming
wash gowns, the girls at the art insti-
tute use the little package dyes, which
are indellible, instead of paints, for
their colors, and for mixer, gasoline is
used. adding little at time, as fast as
It eyaporates This makes color which
is heavy enough for anything SO trans
parent as lace, and which will stand the
Tubing process.
Care should be taken in selecting a
lace with motif whose color can be car
ried out to combine artistically with that
of the gown.-Chicago Tribune.

SCLDIERI SOLDIERl

Soldier!
Soldier!
Swart of face and 1.-THE of limb
Lips that smile and still are grim
1t is fine to see you come
Swinging with the rolling drum
Swaying to the trumpet song
AS you swiftly march along
Soldier!
Soldier!
How the bayonets All swerve
When your ranks come round the curve
With tbs banner that you serve!
There's tingle in each nerve;
And the blood begins 10 thrill
AS the blood of battle will
Soldier!
Soldier!
When you come with clank of steel,
Clinking spurs and rumbling wheel,
Then we hea- the roar that pealed
Over some far battlefield;
Hear the rushing of wild feet
And the shock when foemen meet.
Soldier!
Soldier!
When You come in this array,
Then we look away-away-
Where the crushing battle sound
Quivers through the shaking ground,
And the brazen bugle calls
Over parapets and walls.
Soldier!
Soldier!
When they bring you home some day
Bring you back from out the fray
We may stand and look and weep
Where you fold your hands in sleep,
But the bugle and the fife
And the drum will call to life
All the memories of you
When you swung across our view.
Soldier,

N TIE old days, when our grand
mothers, or even our mothers, were
young, darning meant either rents in
gowns to be neatly drawn together or
stockings to be mended. But now darn
ing is pastime, an art, an accomplish
ment, if you will; but one need not be
possessed of patient mind or even an
artistic soul to make for herself one of
the new darned waists now shown in
the shops. Shirt waists are the most

ACROSS THE BIG BLACK.
ODD Exchange of COurtesies Between
AaHk and Reb at Long
Range.

Some time ago." said Col O. H.
Williams, according to the Chicago IN
ter Ocean, Il met down in Mississippi
Col. Montgomery, now Gen. Gordon S
chief OF staff. He lived in Edwards
vile, near where our division crossed
the Big Black in May, 1868 His
daughter married the son Of that Mr..
Champion who owned Champion Hill,
and the old battlefield is now the
property OF that daughter This as
sociatlon with the field of our opera
tons, nearly 40 years ago, led to a
very pleasant acquaintance, and the
colonel told me a good many stories
OF the Vlcksburg, and other cam
paigns.
AT the time Grants army was
maneuverlng south and east of Vicks-
burg Montgomery was chief of the
confederate scouts, and posted his men
at the crossings Of the Big Black
river to watch the movements of the
union army. On one occasion, when
the scouts in blue camesup on the op-
poslte side there was brisk firing, but
it was not effective After a day or
two OF this sort of work, the confed.-
crates became FESTIVE, fearing they
were being held at that particular
point to serve some purpose of the
union commander.
1t seemed, however, that the Yanks
were as FESTIVE or as tired of the use
less firing as the rebs, for one rainy
day the officer in command of the
union skirmishers made his way to
the extreme front, and shouted across
the river: Hello, Johnny, who is in
command over there?" Montgomery,
under cover, replied that he was, and
asked what was wanted The union
officer answered that he was tired of
the durn fool firing; that it was a
waste of ammunition without doing
any good for either side, and pro-
posed that they agree to stop it, and
that there be no more shooting except
one party Or the other attempted to
cross the river
Montgomery expressed his willing
ness to discuss the matter, but asked
the union officer to take the initiative
by standing up and waving his hand
kerchief. The officer did so, and Mont
gomery stood up also. ThereupOn the
Yank said: What is the use of shoot

and width. The best for the work is
quite coarse, and as the loops or threads
through which the pattern is worked
are large and loose the work will be
found not at all irving to the eyes. A
rather large-eyed needle is used, and
must be threaded with two threads of
working cotton of different colors. Dark
blue and red are the best colors if the
article is to go to the laundry often, but
there are many beautiful combinations
which will stand an ordinary amount of

The work is actually darned through
the loose threads, the color all being on
the surface, and not a single stitch
should show on the wrong side unless
there is an open space to be left between
two lines, in which case the thread must
be taken through to the other side. If
possible, the thread should be Icing
enough to follow out one line Of the pat-
tern, but in case a new thread must be
taken a small but very secure knot may
be used to begin with.

The Bible and the Empire State
Express.
d Pine Street.

A Bible student has recently been fgur-
ing on how long it would have taken the
people to make the journey from Dan to
Beersheba if they could have had the
benefit in the olden times of the Empire
State Express He figured that the train
would have made this journey IN less than
account in the Bible one would think it was a
long journey, and it was for those days with
their limited means OF transportation.
Ezekiel, the Chaldean prophet, had in his
minds eye something like the Empire State
Express when he uttered the words recorded

ing" and asked the confederate to
come over for conference. He ex-
planned that his quarters were in a
house near, where he had abundant
supplies, including some very good
whisky, and if the Johnny would come
over they could refresh the inner man
while they were discussing the agree
ment as to shooting.
Montgomery conferred with his
men, and every one of them was against
the adventure However, Montgomery
decided to accept the invitation, and,
jumping into a small boat, rowed
across. He was received Hospitality,
was taken to the captains headquar-
tiers, and was given the best OF ali
that was in the house. AS the rain
still continued, he was persuaded to
stay all night, and slept in the same
room with his host. He awoke during
the night, and wondered what had
happened to him, and where he was.
Bewildered, he sat up in bed
After rubbing his eyes, he recalled
the incidents Of the day, and wondered
il he had walked into a trap. Just
then his host said: Better than
sleeping out in the rain, isn't it? |
tell you, captain, there is no sense in
plugging away at each other across
the river Both lay down again, and
the next morning Montgomery re-
turned to his side Of the river, his
men viewing his start toward them
with amazement. He explained the
situation, and for time the men on
the Big Black stood guard without
shooting.
This incident was, of course, the
mxrest trile, when considered in it's
relation to the battles at Jackson,
Champions Hill, and the Black River
bridge, or when considered in associa-
ton with the great campaign that cul-
minated in the siege and fall Of Vicks-
burg. In the rush Of tremendous
events, it was forgotten by the two
participants, who, swept apart by
the high tide of war, never saw or
heard of each other again. Mont
gomery does not remember even the
name of the union officer who enter
tanned him on the Big Black, but if
that officer should ever step off the
train at Edwards Station, he would
meet with a royal welcome from at
least one old confederate.
