TOUCHING STORY
OF the Civil War as Told the
National Tribune.
Brothers, Opposed to Each Other
Meet in Deaths Embrace.

In his serial on The Army of the
Cumberland" now running in the Ma
tional Tribune, Capt e. @. Belknap,
OF the Twenty-6rst regiment of Michi-
gan, relates the following touching
story Of two Irish-named soldiers of
the Civil war, one wearing the blue
and the other the grey:
There was one Mike Murphy, the
Honey Corporal" Mikes twin broth
er, Pat, who had gone south to live,
joined a Mississippi regiment at the
breaking out of the war.
Mike was Il good soldier, and in a
short time was promoted to corporal.
One night the boys on a foraging en-
petition found a well-tilled begun.
Mike got live bee mixed up with a
mouthful of honey, for it was dark
night. The bee got his little bayonet
under Mikes upper lip, and such Il
sight as he was next morning, with
upper lip projecting beyond his nose.
All that day his handsome face was
out of tune, and he was ever after
wards the "Honey Corporal" For
various brave deeds he became the
color-bearer, while six other mon
coms," equally deserving, were the
olorguards.
AT Chickamauga that Sunday morn
ing, when half the regiment went
down, bullet struck the Flagstaff.
passing through it into Mikes breast.
He went down, but the colors did not
touch the ground before another had
grasped them; then he. too, was hit in
the shoulder, and another waved it in
defiance at the charging foe.
Mike was loaded into an army
wagon that night and sent to Chata-
nooga, where he was placed in a shed
building, on a cot with a lot of other
fellows, Union and Confederate. The
next morning the surgeon in charge
said: "Iou are seriously hurt; 1 don't
know as 1 can help you"
The man on the next cot began sing
ing sweet lullaby in voice like Il
mothers, so low and touching. The
cots were side by side, and Mike
reached out his hand to touch the CON-
rade. 1t was the same song with
which his mother soothed him to sleep
when a child.
1t all came back: the little log farm
house near the river, the sweet little
sister. brother Patsy. father and moth
er. How sweet the song! He turned
his face as far as his waning strength
would permit. The song came from
lips pale and weak; a Confederate coat
Scantily covered the form of "a SOL
der of the South" Along the line of
cots, each with it's burden of manned
humanity. We're both blue and gray;
the means of anguish ceased, smiles
chased away the tears from weary
eyes.
Mike had raised himself upon his
elbow, gazing intently into the face Of
the dying soldier; he struggled to rise
from the cot, and with cry, PATSY.
my brotherr fell upon and clasped
him in loving embrace. The sur
geon came, the two cots were placed
close up. The next morning the sur
vivors Of the company found the
brothers together on the grass outside
the hospital, wrapped in their army
blankets. Their bodies We're placed
side by side in garden near by. Later
they rested in the National cemetery
at Chattanooga.

"Thomas, what is the matter with
your brother Johnnie?" asked the
mother of the boys.
"He's crying" replied Thomas, "be-
cause I'm eating my cake and won't
give him any"
''Is his own cake finished?"
"Yes'm; and he cried while was
eating that. too"

FIorisant, Mo-, Dec 18TH Especially
That Dodd's Kidney pills are doing
a great work IN curing the more ter
rible forms OF Kidney Disease, such as
Bright's Disease. Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows But it must also
be noted that they are doing a still
greater work in wiping out thousands
of cases Of the earlier stages Of Kid
ney Disease. Take for instance, Mrs.
Peter Barteau OF this place. She
says:
I have been subject to pains in my
back and knees for about three years,
but since I have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In
fact, in this part Of Missouri there are
scores OF people who have cured the
early symptoms of Kidney Disease
with Dodd's Kidney Pills The use OF
the Great American Kidney Remedy
thus saved not only the lives Of Kid
ney Disease victims, but thousands Of
other Americans fgs@ years Of suffer
ings.
