Hand-to-Hand Fighting.

Il notice that q good many men are
still in doubt as to the utility of the
bayonet and seem reluctant to believe
there were any hand-to-hand conflicts
during. the war. There was one at
JonesborO. in which one bayonet was
used effectively. Our brigade had
charged a battery and the men We're
among the guns when one of the Con-
federate gunners running back TO his
gun was just in the act of firing it
when a man of the Seventy-eighth Illi-
nOis took in the situation. There was
cluster of 20 men directly in front of
that gun and pull of the string meant
death to most of them. The Confeder-
ate had been ordered to surrender and
the men near the gun supposed he had
surrendered, when he changed his
mind and decided to give us one more
shot for luck
1T was brave thing to do, but it
was a terrible thing for us and re-
quired quick action. Ny comrade of
the Seventy-eighth Illinois was as
quick as a flash of lightning. it seemed
to me. He thrust at the man in a way
to push him back from the gun, and
his bayonet went clear through the
Confederate's body. We left him, as
we supposed, dead, but at later date
I found him in one Of our hospitals at
Atlanta. by the side of one of our own
men wounded the same day. He got

For ValOr.

Andrew D. White tells in his rem
iniscences Of his diplomatic career,
which appear in the Century Magazine,
story Of British officer who has
since won distinction. This was Gen.
eral Methuen, who at the time of Mr..
Whites ministry to Germany was a
young colonel connected with the Brit
ish embassy.
One day, while walking in a remote
part Of the Thiergarten, Methuen saw
a working man throw himself into the
river, and instantly jumped into the
icy stream after him, grappled him,
pulled him out, laid him on the bank
and rapidly walked away. When the
news of it got out he was taxed with
the deed by members Of the diplomat
ic corps; but he awkwardly and blush
ingly pooh-pOohed the whole matter.
One evening not long afterward the
old emperor sent for the colonel. When
he presented himself, his majesty took
from his own coat medal of honor
for life-saving and attached it to the
breast of Methuen. who received it in
very awkward yet manly fashion.

Insured Against a Fall.

In East 18th street crowd was
staring up at second story window,
relates the New York Press. The low.
er sash was raised and the head and
shoulders Of child about years old
could be seen. In two minutes the
child had got its breast on the sill and
was reaching out to get hold of string
hanging from somewhere about-a re.
minder Of some disaster to kite.
Heavens! He'll fallw gasped one
'Stop! Stop! Go backw shouted an
other.
Everybody had something to say.
and while they were saying it the child
wriggled further and further over the
sill At length q woman with a bas-
ket on her arms cried:
.'What fools you men are. Why
don't you ring the bell and tell its
mother?"
Three or four started, but they had
not reached the door when the child
lost Its balance and fell. There was
a cry of horror, but the fall of the
child was checked two feet from the
sill, and there he hung, sprawling. with
leather strap buckled around his
waist. His howls brought a woman to
the window, and she pulled him up,
deposited him inside, and then said to
the gaping crowd:
Thought didn't know my business,
eh? Well. l just do, and you can
move on"

Everybody Is Tired = Spring
Weather Does lt-Every.One
Should Be Cautious.

Depression Of the nervous system at
the approach Of spring is the cause.
General lassitude, dull. heavy sensa-
tions, continual tired feeling. with irreg-
ular appetite, and sometimes loss of
sleep. Peruna meets every indication and
proves itself to be perfectly adapted to
all their varied peculiarities. Peruna in
yigorates the system. tjuvenates tho
feelings, restores the normal appetite and
produces regular sleep.
That tired feeling which is the natural
result of the depressing effect of warm
weather Immediately after the invigorat
ing cold Of winter, quietly disappears
when Peruna is taken. Thousands are
daily testifying to its priceless benefit.

give my endorsement for your valuable
medicine, Peruna, as l consider it a val
