A DISPLAY OF GRIT.
How q Plucky Soldier Succeeded in
Bringing In Two Confeder-
ate Prisoners.

During the campaign of 1864, and
while the division was on the march,
Color-Guard John Boyce, company B,
discovered a mounted confederate in
a wood, some distance from the road
who was intently watching our COM
mand passing, says the National Trib-
une. Making a detour, Boyce came
upon the Johnny from the rear and
promptly captured him. After disarm-
ing his prisoner. Boyce started for
brigade headquarters, in order to turn
over his prisoner to the provost mar
shal. The headquarters being some
distance in the rear, Boyce counter
marched in the woods, and while so
doing saw another mounted conted-
crate approaching. The latter, suppos-
ing that Boyce was the prisoner, ad-
preparation for fight. When sufficient
ly near Boyce pointed his revolver at
his head and demanded his surrender.
The Johnny was dumfounded, and
Boyce having him at a disadvantage
he surrendered, but continued swear
ing at his ill-luck, until Boyce turned
MIN and his companion over to the
provost-marshal.
Comrade Boyce is retired manufac-
turer of Pittsburg, Pa He was early
appointed color-guard, and in the bat
tie of St. Mary's Church. Virginia,
June "a, 1864, carried the flag in the
thickest of the fight, The regiment
lost 81 men in killed, wounded and
missing in this engagement. Among
the former was our beloved colonel
George II. Covode. who fell pierced by
four bullets. Comrade Boyce was Sc
verely wounded in the battle of An.
tietam, where we lost that peerless of.
flcer and gentleman, Col. James H
Childs.

Hard Time Getting Into Service.

THE Yates phalanx," said the Major,
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, was not the
only regiment that@had hard time
getting into the service. Missouri, /
have been told, took nearly 10000 i'm
patient Illinoisans into her regiments.
We got credit for some of them, got
some of them back, but most of them
went through the war as Missourians.
1t was the same way in Ohio. When
the half-organized regiments were not
accepted in April, 1861, the men, impa-
tient to be in the service, went into
Kentucky, West Virginia and Missouri
regiments, rather than wait for second
call from their own state. In those
months the patriotic impulse was too
strong to brook delay, and state lines
counted for little when men were in a
frenz! to fight for the union"

MOTHER, CAN I cor

written In February, 1922
i am writing to you, mother, knowing well
what you will say,
When you read with fearful fondness what
l write to you to-day.
Knowing well the flame of ardor on loyal
mothers part
That will kindle, with each impulse, with
each throbbing of your heart.
/ have heard my country calling for her
sons that still are true,
/ have loved that country, mother, next to
God and you;
And my soul is sprnging forward to resist
her bitter foe;
Can | go, my dearest mother? Tell me,
mother, can go?
From the battered walls of Sumter, from
the wild waves of the sea,
/ have heard her cry for succor, as the
voice of God TO me.
In prosperity l loved her-in her days of
dark Distress
With your spirit in me, mother could 1
love that country less?
They have pierced her heart with treason;
they have caused her sons to bleed,
They have robbed her in her Kindness, they
have triumphed in her need.
They have trampled on her standard, and
she calls me in her woe;
Can l go, my dearest mother? Tell me,
mother, can l go?

would call me yet boy,
But know the land live in, and the bless
ings l enjoy,

proud and true
To the faithful sense of duty l have ever
learned from you.
We must conquer this rebellion, let the
doubling heart be still;
We must conquer II or perish. We must
conquer and we will
But the faithful must not falter, and shall
l be wanting? No!

mother. can go?
He Who led His chosen people in their ef-
fort to be free
From the tyranny of Egypt will be merciful
to me,
Will protect me by His power whatsoe er
/ undertake.

There will come a day of gladness, when
the people of the Lord
Shall look proudly on their banner which
His mercy has restored.
When the stars, in perfect number on
their azure field of blue,
Shall be clustered in union, then and
ever firm and true,

triots' work is done,
And your heart so full of kindness, will

Or through tears your eyes may it, with

NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG WOMAN's HAP
PINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.
Interfered With Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.

WIN anu
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like nail driven into the brain, or
wedse splitting it open, or band tight
enassS about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
uislIes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years was q
great sufferer from nervous headache and
di4ziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became so restless that could not
sit still any length of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks were not SO severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became SO acute that was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which l be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity"
"a very simple thing; the call of a
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. acted on her sugges-
tion at once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
Keeps them.

That's sensible guess, but not
within 40 rods of bein' right. I've had

That's k'rect, my boy. It's the
track of bullet fired by Yank
sharpshooter in front of Petersburg.
Want to hear the yarn?
Wall, let me take my time and my
own way, for I've got chunk of Yam
kee lead in this left leg, and GO years
of life hev begun to tell on me right
smart. Ever see the spot whar the
Yanks dug mine and blew up a
fort?'
"Yes. They call it the crater"
Reckon they do, and it's good
name fur it. l had a rife pit front of
that fort about month before it was
histed. The Yanks had pits all along
in front and we was so nigh each
other that you could throw a tater
across the neutral ground. l was sent
for and put into that pit to outwit
Yank who had killed off seven or
eight of our men. l was counted one
of the keenest sharpshooters in the
whole confederacy, and l went into
that pit believing l could fool any
Yank alive He had killed the three
last men in the hole, and the airth was
soft with blood.
when it cum daylight" continued
the old man, after pause, 81 had laid
low to make the Yankee believe the
pit was empty. He seemed to believe
it, for he banged away to the right and
left, and paid no attention to me. My
object was to catch him off his guard,
and l laid as quiet as a mouse fur
three long hours. / had a dueling
| pistol fur my weapon-a long-barreled,
fine-sighted tool, which had been used
on the field of honor more than once
and little by little l poked the bar
rel over the dirt until l got it to bar
on the Yankee pit. Then kinder held
my breath and waited fur another
hour. At last the Yank showed his
head above the ground, and l fired.
Kinder hated to do it, you know, but
war is war.
when a man shoots he materially
starts up" said the old man, as he ten
derly rubbed his cheek. Il give sort
of bob and the next instant streak
of fire ran across my cheek, and l fell
backward. The Yank had been layin'
fur me, and he'd fooled me. His bullet
| hit the loose dirt in front of me and
was bruised and that's what makes
| this scar look so ragged"
How did you get the bullet in your
leg?"
Got it that night while crawling
into the fort, and by the same man.
1t was darker than 40 black cats, and
after he fired he called out: Say,
Johnny, please excuse me fur hittin'
you in the leg! l fired at the back OF
your head, but heven bin cooped up
yere fur three days I'm beginnin' to
be nervous That's what he said and
he sort o. chuckled to hisself, and
killed a corporal who was tryin' to
