A FIGHTING SICK MAN.
He Had But Once to Die and the EN-
emy's Bullets Didn't Drive
Him BACK.

In reading over your war memories
1 often come across a sketch which re-
minds me of a similar incident. The
one entitled "The Doctor Didn't Know
He Was Sick" recalled to my memory
one of my comrades, who was taken
down very sick short time after
we got into active service. He was bed
fast for long time, and finally con-
yalescent, says an American Tribune
writer. While he did not get very
stout, he looked quite robust, and
would answer to the sick call every
day. Finally the doctor thought
there was not much ailing him, and or
dered his captain to put him on duty.
The captain ordered me to issue him
his gun and accoutrements. When l
took them to him he pleaded like a
good fellow his inability to do duty. l
told him that it was so ordered by the
doctors, and that he would be COM
PEELED to obey. "Well," said he, 81 will
try"
All went well with him until we
were on the march to Fredericksburg,
Va. He came to me and wanted to de-
liver up his gun and accoutrements,
pleading that he was so weak he was
not able to carry them. | told him
that l had orders not to take them, but
that / would intercede with the cap
tain for him. 1 did so, but the captain
said the order from the doctor was i'm
perative, and he could not disobey it.
l explained it to him, and told him he
might possibly get on the good side of
some of the teamsters and get to ride,
which he did We went into the fight
at Fredericksburg, Va, on Sunday
afternoon and advanced almost to the
brow of a hill or plain, where by ly-
Ing fiat the enemy could not hit us
with their shots, but if we raised upon
our knees we were sure to receive a
compliment from the enemy. We lay
in this position all day Sunday, with
no fighting except desultoIy picket fir
ing. The day was quite cold and raw,
and the sick man slowly rose to his
feet and started to the rear to pick
tome blankets from the dead, as he
said they did not need them, and we
did. He had just reached the first one
when the enemy began to fire at him.
He turned and fronted them squarely,
and sang out as loud as he could:
Fire away, boys! I've only once to
die, and might as well die now as any
time"
By the time he said this they had
ceased firing at him; he still stood

Gen. Raum vividly describes one of
the greatest strategic feats, not mere
ly of Ger. Sherman's career, but in the
history of war. There was never any
thing finer than the way in which Gen.
Sherman removed his great army from
in front of Atlanta, and under the eyes
of the watchful enemy, around far
south of the city, to strike and destroy
Hoods last line of communication and
compel the evacuation of Atlanta. The
corps were moved with the precision
of pieces on a chess board, being al.
the time in position of mutual sup
port, should Gen. Hood discover tie
intent of the movement and attempt to
stop it by crushing some detached
force. AS feat in logistics it was
perfect, and deserved the brilliant sue
cess which it achieved. Gen. Raum de-
scribes the operation admirably,-Na-
tional Tribune.

A Story Without
a Climax ~ ~
BY BETTE L. REYNOLDS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

IT was one of those rainy days in
i autumn, with all the suggestion
of winter in it, except that feeling of
snugness that makes it such pleas
ure to curl up before wood fire and
bury yourself and your troubles in
book, but this element being missing,
Beatrice Russell found it impossible
to settle down to book. There are
moments when the most inveterate
book-worm finds it hard to compose
his thoughts into an appreciative au-
dience for any one, moments when
they go roaming instead into the fu-
ture, or back into the past, where the
ghost of ones dead self keeps ever
at ones side, and leads one on from
tomb to tomb in that burial land of
lead hopes and broken dreams. In
TO some such valley of shadows the
tiny ghost had led Beatrice while in
reality she had been roaming from
point to point of the room, now paus-
dng to take up half dozen books
only to slide them back into the case
with half page read and take up
her wandering which brought her to
anchor at last near the hearth where
glowed a bed of Goals. Leaning her
head against the mantel she stood
staring down at them gloomily.
What she saw there was the story
of two lives as closely interviewer as

THEY BEGAN TO UNLOAD THE BOAT.

been keeping pretty well up with him.
Here was my chance. l told him he
could sell some goods down below town
if he could get out of Helena with
them, and offered to help him do it.
He had a large yawl which he had
pressed into service before, and il did
not take me great length of time to
convince him that we could use this
yawl to advantage. He fell right into
the plan. One night we loaded the
boat down with an assorted cargo,
clothing. food and other things which
the merchant had in stock At that
time you could hardly get away from
the soldiers, but we managed to get
out into the river without making
much noise. 1t was very dark
night.
"When we had reached the current
of the stream I suggested to the mer-
chant that we lie down in the boat
until we had drifted down below the
city. We allowed the current to drive
us several miles below the city, in fact,
as far down as 1 wanted to go, for
knew exactly where the confederate
soldiers were camped. We pulled into
small bayou and started to tie up.
Suddenly a squad of men swooped
down on us and placed us under ar
rest. Then they began to unload the
boat. The merchant did not seem
to care so much about the 50, 900 worth
of goods he had in the yawl, and which
the soldiers had confiscated. He told
me we were in great danger of being
shot, but 1 consoled him by saying that
1 would fix up scheme to escape.
That night squad was named to
watch uA until daylight. About three
a. m. I nudged the merchant and told
him the soldiers were sound asleep,
and we could get away. AT first he
was afraid of being shot, but per-
suaded him that it was safe, and we
skedaddled. 1 never saw man run
so in my life, and I was so tickled all
the while that / could scarcely keep
from letting the cat out of the bag.
Sup to this day that fellow feels that
he owes his life very largely to me
when L had deliberately laid the
! scheme to rob him of boatload OF
goods for the benefit of the confed.
eracy, and 1 have. often debated the
moral aspect of the question in my
own mind. But I suppose all things
are fair in war. Besides, the motive
was to help the suffering confederate
soldiers and not to hurt and harm the

Didn't Know His own Son.

During the battle of Antietam, one
of the bloodiest in the civil war, there
had been a sharp engagement OF ar
tillery and the confederate battery
from Rockbridge, Va, was standing
waiting orders when Gen. Lee rode
by and stopped moment. A dirty
faced driver, about II, said to him:
General, are you going to put us in
again?"
Think of such question from such
a source to the general of the army,
especially when the generals name
was Lee.

kindly answered. 81 have to put you

But I'm Bob"
It was the generals youngest son,
whom he had thought safe in the Vir'
ginia military institute. "God bless
you, my son; do your duty" and the
general rode on.-Detroit Free Press.

How to Keep Lamps Clean.

Lamps often burn badly for want
of cleanliness. Keep them carefully
trimmed and entirely free from oil on
any part of the surface and occasions
ally-about once a month-give the
burner a special cleaning to remove
from it all bits of charred wick and
dust, for these prevent the lamp from
burning brightly and cause it to smell.
The best plan is to boil the burner
for few minutes in strong soda wa
ter, for this will loosen all dirt and
after being rinsed in clean water and
dried it may be put back in the lamp
and will be found as good as new. If
you have not a suitable old saucepan
the, boiling may be done in an old to-
mato tin, for the paraflin would rem
der anything the burner might be put
into unfit for other use.-Chicago

uously sought in marriage by men
prominent in social life. Since, she
has spent her years in increasing her
fortune. Her husband died at the old
Green homestead in Bellows Falls
last spring. The richest woman in
the world not long ago secured per-
init to carry a revolver, and was
quoted as saying that she wanted it
handy to keep lawyers from bully
ing her.
Mrs. Green knows her own mind,
and makes good guess at the minds
of others. When a reorganization
committee was appointed for Hous-
ton & Texas Central some years
ago the aforesaid committee found
out these characteristics of Mrs.
Green. The committee sent out no.
tices to the bondholders outlining
the plan for a reorganization. Now
it happened that Mrs. Green had
come into possession of a consider
able amount of those bonds.
The commi tee was holding meet
ing. A boy came in and announced
that a lady wanted to see the COM
mittee, one who would not be re-
fused, and who would not go away. Aft
er moments hesitation the commit
tee told the boy to send her in. She
came in. members of the commit
tee saw the woman in the door. They
looked at her, and she looked at
them, and she looked not so kindly.
She shortly announced that she
owned most of the bonds they were
doing the talking about, and she
wanted to know what right they had
to make settlement of the fate of
those bonds for her.
"If there are TO be TERMS" said
Mrs. Green, 81 think 1 should make
them, being the holder of the bonds"
The committee looked at her
again. The committee straightway
surrendered at discretion. Mrs.
Green gained place on the reorgan-
ization committee of the Houston &
| Texas Central.

divan for comfortable chat. Her
listeners were half dozen women
who go in for the strenuous life to

quently any one of them can stand

"Of course" was the reply, in cho-

HANDKERCHIEF BAG.

bag is intended may be embroidered
on one of them.
The bottom of the bag consists of,
a circular piece of pasteboard four
inches and a half in diameter, and
this should be covered on the under
side by linen similar in quality to
that used in the handkerchiefs. Gath
er the bottom of the bag, and sew it
to this circle. Make lining of col
ored silk, just the size of the out
side, and tack it in place lightly
enough so that it can be easily re-
moved when you wish to wash the
bag. Run a narrow ribbon, the same
color as the lining, around the top of
the bag, about two inches from the
upper edge.
This little bag is not only particu-
Iarly dainty, but owing to the fact
that it can be washed frequently, is
very serviceable.-Girls' Companion.

SAVES HER DOLLARS.
Mrs. Hetty Green, Richest Woman In
America, Lets Not n single
Penny Go Astrny.

Mrs. Hetty Green, of Hoboken, N.
j., and Flatbush, l.. l., with a busi-
ness Office in New York and n resi-
dence in Rhode Island, is one of the
most picturesque characters of the
time. Her fortune has reached in
calculable proportions, yet she lives
more economically than the average
New York clerk, whose income does
not exceed $100 per month. She
delights in driving a shrewd bargain,
and never gives up penny without
satisfactory equivalent. She owns
valuable real estate in every large
city in the United States, notably in
Chicago, where she has several tracts
of over 100 acres each, in promising
parts of the city.
Hetty Green was born rich, as were
her parents before her, the family
having been for years identified with
the large whaling trade which CEN
tered about New Bedford. AS a
young girl she was pertinently called
the princess of Whales" and was
even then regarded as one of the
country's greatest heiresses. AT Sar-

The Return of the Apron.

AS another sign of reversion on
the part of our girls to femininity
there is prophesied the return of the
apron, long banished to maids ward
robes and to below stairs regiong>
Now it is coming to the fore by de-
grees, and by the time all indoor
things are in full swing it will be a
recognized part of every woman's
house uniform, states the Detroit Free
Press. OF course, it will be an ornate
affair, made of materials expensive
and dressy and with everything pos
sible done to it to relieve it of it's util-
itarian aspect, though it will have
strings; no apron is complete without
strings for the tying up of various
persons that like to be held by such
means.
