THREE TIMES AND NOT OUT,
Happy Jack Harty's Third Buck
Against a Train.

Against Train.
Bellows Falls, August 24.-John Harty
of WaIpole, n. H., was seriously in
iured here yesterday noon. He was
somewhat under the influence Of liquor
and misaking his train boarded the
Rutland mail. The train was under
full Roadway when he discovered his err
ror and jumping from the ear fell with
his left foot on the rail- Three cars
passed over it, cutting off the greater
portion.
Harty is a well known Walpole char
acter, known as Happy Jack" and has
had a unique railroad experience. Be-
sides being slightly injured by the
trains several times, year ago while
walking on the railroad track he was
struck by an approaching freight train.
The engine hurled him through the air
and when picked mp he was found to
have escaped without the slightest bruise
and cody inquired as to the cause Of
the trouble.

specimen of her work is THE Volun-

bowlder seven feet high. It is at New

Another work of Mrs Kitson's is her
monument to the Massachusetts SOL
diers who fell before Vicksburg. The
monument is in the Vicksburg national
battlefield park Mrs. Kitson has also
modelled General Mcclellan on horse
back This equestrian statue is in
Washington. When making studies for
this statue the woman sculptor spent
weeks sketching, watching and making
notes of horses in Back Bay stables al

medallions of various generals.

child must be put to studying art. Ac-
cordingly when she was only fourteen
the little girl became the pupil Of Hen
ry Hudson Kitson. She studied with
him, and at length when this gifted
teacher went to Paris the pupil and
her mother went, too, that the instruct
ton might be continued. In Paris shei
had also several French sculptors for
masters. She made rapid progress and
in 1889 exhibited two pieces of her
work in the Paris salon, where she was
the first American woman who ever
received honorable mention in sculp-

The long association of Henry Hud-:

old romances that all the world likes to
hear of. They were married in 1898
Mrs. Kitson is now one Of Americas
most distinguished sculptors. and as
she is yet a young woman greater
achievement still is before her. She

Mother BiCkerdyke's Monument
and Its MOdeIer

HE monument to Mother
Bickerdyke. the great civil
war nurse, is to be erected at
Galesburg by order of Illinois
veterans who were Mother Bicker-
dykes boys" forty years ago Mrs.
Theo Ruggles Kitson of Boston is the
sculptor.
Small enough recognition is this post
norton monument to the woman who
after the battle OF Chickamauga wan
dered all night long in the rain with a
lantern among the dead and dying on
the bloody field to give relief where she
could She personally examined every
soldier she found who had been left
for dead, If hapIy there might not yet
be life in this or that one, as there
really was in few cases. It is record
ed, too. that in her own strong, tender
arms she carried several soldiers from
field to hospital.
And at Chickamauga or elsewhere
the great, sweet mother heart of Mary
A. Bickerdyke made no distinction be-
tween blue and gray uniform:
Love and tears for the blue.
Tears and love for the gray.
It may give American women today
something to think Of to recall to them
q little concerning one of the nobIest of
their sex and country. Priceless as
were her services during four of the
most critical years of this republics
history, Mother Bickerdyke's biography
Is not found in any of the encyclope-
dias.
She was born near Mount Vernon, o.,
in 1917. Very young she married and
went to Illinois. Her husband died and
left her with little children to rear.
She was living in Galesburg at the out
break of the war in 1861. She at once
began to aid in the collection of deli
cacies and articles useful for sick and
wounded soldiers. She went to Cairo
with a train load Of these supplies. She
was drawn steadily forward by her ex-
ecutive ability no less than by her
sympathy till she found herself as
signed as a war nurse. With the army
at the battle of Fort Donelson she saw
how far short of the need army hospi-
tai accommodations were. She hurried
north, awakened the sympathtes of the
people for the soldiers and collected
and poured southwark supplies that
could not be had among army stores.
There was lack of fresh eggs and
milk for the sick soldiers. Mother Bick-
erdylze filed the need by gathering
over 100 cows and more than 1000 hens
and conveying them very much alive
and ready for daily duty to the army
hospitals where her suffering boys
were. This unique enterprise was call
ed the Cow and hen mission"
Next the hero woman established at
Memphis a hospital accommodating
5000 men. After that she was matron
of the Gayoso Military hospital and

Experimental in every sense, we knew
very little about gardening, nothing what
ever about irrigation, or what the soil
would produce, the kind of vegetables
that would be best for this climate, how
long the season for growing, and we did
not know whether the water was suitable
ronot for rrigation,But having G good well
we were anxious to try.
So the "Gude Mon" fenced off gar
den 36x72, chicken tight, put up a wind

and put the ground in as good condition
as possible. Planted peas, beans, beets,

mustard, turnips, land cucumbers, leaving a
small space for tomatoes. He told me to
go ahead and he hoped would get one

When my garden came up it looked so

to water more ground, and we would try
