WOUNDED SOLDIERS NERVE
Wrote Last Message to His Wife
While Doctor Held Back His
Life's Blood.

One day an army surgeon was dress
ing the wound of a soldier who had
been shot in the neck near the carotid
artery.
Suddenly the blood vessel gave way,
and just as quickly the surgeon thrust
his finger into the hole to stop the
flow.
Doctor" said the soldier, what
does that mean?"
1T means DEATH" said the surgeon,
calmly.
How long can l live?" asked the
soldier, whose mind was perfectly
clear.
Until remove my finger" said the
doctor.
The soldier asked for pen and pa.
per, wrote his will and an affectionate
letter to his wife, and when the last
thing was done said, quietly:
Let 1t CO."
The surgeon removed his finger,
the blood rushed out, and in a few
minutes the man was dead.-Clevelan

GAVE HER THE PENSION.
How Corporal Tanner, Commander of
g. A. r., Helped a Confed-
crate Widow.

Corporal Tanner told the following
pension:
Il was commissioner of pensions at
the time" said the gallant corporal.
Il received a telegram one day from
Lee, then governor of Virginia, asking
If he and Senator Barbour, of Vir-
ginia, could see me if they came to
Washington the next day. OF course,
| answered certainly. They came to
see what was needed in the settlement
of the long-delayed pension claim Of
Mrs. Cooper, widow of Gen. Cooper,
who was adjutant general of the army
in '61, and who went south and was
adjutant general in the confederate
army. He had served with credit in
the Mexican war.
Il called the case from the files
to my desk and went through it.
The proof was complete in every re-
spect and the filing stamps showed
that it had been for year or so
before l took Office. In a few minutes
l turned to Lee and said:
Governor, there is just one trou.

What is it?' he asked.
'Cowardice.'
"Fitz flashed in an instant, as
knew he would-we had been friends
for years. Sir said he with an
emphasis which startled my stenog
rapher, who sat on the opposite side
Of the desk, Gen. Cooper's bravery

AUTUMN IN KANSAS.

There's sort of rare completeness
To the whizzlng world to-day.
With life as full of sweetness
AS n maiden is in May
The breezes hint of laughter
AS they idle DER the plain,
And sing of groaning rafter
In the wealth of autumn's gain.
The hives are fun of honey,
With the bees still out at nights,
The pastures, green and sunny,
Speak the grazing kine's delights.
The corn stalks lift their tassels
With a grace into the air,
Then bend as willing vassals
Meath the load they have to bear.
The earth is full of treasure
Autumn brings from hill and plain,
And man is blessed in measure
That his barns cannot contain.
The days are full of glimmer
From the SUMS excess of smiles,
And night time hath It's simmer
From fair Luna's store of wiles.
AS If to crown the blessings,
Nature cools us with its frost,
And midst its pure caressings
Do! the trees are gold-embossed.
oh. life is full of beauty,
Underneath, around, above,
And so n mortal's duty
Is another name for love.

One of the judges of the supreme court

residence on the banks of lake in the
Northern part of the state, and few days

club went to the jurist and asked:
Judge, would you have any objection To

judge.

Fish? Fish? But where would you
