From the lower branches of the trees
hung wild vines, which ran in n thick
network over the ground, threatening
to trip him Mt every step.
His Harassing Wound.
And all Mt once his foot caught and
he plunged headlong. lie lay for an
instant on his face. a terrible pain
In his leg reminded him violently of
his wound. lie found himself at the
very edge OF black, shining pool of
stagnant water, and felt the slight
GOODNESS OH his burning cheeks. He
was strongly tempted to examine his
wound as he had seen soldiers do
when they were hit. and was about
to tear up his trousers leg, when 1t
occurred to him with renewed force
that every moment was precious. Tho
toy stood up, and found to his sur
prise that his leg, painful rs 1t was,
wOnld still hear some OF his weight.
Io crossed n second hill, and after
making n long detour reached the
top of high ridge, from which hc
could see great section Of the army.
One the plain below him he saw III
distinctly n figure on horseback, sur
rounded by several other mounted
men. TO reach this group OF officers
he would have to cross u bullet swept
field where it was more than likely
he would be shot dead.
Let the finish be told in Shermun's
own words:
"'rhe boy came to me at the front,
crying out, General Sherman, send
some cartridges to Colonel Malmborg!
pbo mon are nearly out!'
~ said, What Is the matter?'
"'They shot me in the leg, sir; but
Gun go to the hospital. Send the
cartridges right nway!'
Even wnere we stood, the shot fell
shick, and / told him to go to the
rear ut once; could attend to the
cartridges. And off he limped. Just
before he disappeared on the hill, he
turned and called as loudly as he
could, CALDER fifty-four!'
what arrested my attention then
was that one so young, carrying n
musket ball through his leg, should
have found his way to me mt that ia
tnl spot and delivered his message.
not forgetting the very important
part of the caliber of the muskets.
fifty.four, which is. rs you know, an
unusual one.'
AS soon rs the boy recovered from
his wound, President Lincoln called
him to Washington aud placed him
In the naval school ut Newport. The
Medal OF Honor was Ey some chance

name of Orion p. Howe was added to

MRS. EDpWs CHURCHES.
Those In NJ. Y. City Among Finest and
Costliest In America,


The first Christian Science meet.
ing In New York city was held in n
small hall. Later another hall was
needed, and secured, and finally an
old church on Forty-eight street was
purchased and used for several yenrs.
In April, 1899, the Forty-elght street
church having been outsrown, new
building site was purchased on the
northwest corner of Central Park
West and Ninety.sixth street. The
cornerstone was laid on Thanksgiving
Day, 1899.
This is the famous "First Church
of Christ, Scientist whose founding
Is told by William A. Johnston In
The New Broadway Magazine, II was
the result of the work of Mrs. Angus
tn IL. Stetson. tho leader of the Chris
tian Scientist movement i'll New
York. This church cost over mil
lion dollars and has splendid out
look over Central Park.
Further down Central Park West, Mt
Slxty-eight street. Is another hand
some edifice, erected ut II cost OF
five hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars, built solidly OF beautiful white
marble and artistically furnished
within. This Is the Second Church
of Christ. Scientist, organized by Mrs
Laura Lathrop, n woman of unusual
ability and most interesting person
ality.
There are four more churches of
Christ. Scientist, in Manhattan, two in
Brooklyn and one In Staten Island.
They have scarcely four thousand
members, but their seating capacity
and standing room are constantly tax
ed to their utmost. and it is estimat-
ed that there are fully fifty thousand
followers of this faith in New York
city. In all the country there are
nearly nine hundred Christian Sci
ence churches. Their total member
ship IS only eight thousand, but their
worshippers are legion and comprise
the most highly educated and most
successful industrial, commercial and
professional men in the United States
These are n few facts in the case;
and there arc many more. Christian
Science has grown beyond the stage
of an interesting phenomenon. As
the church exists today, it demands
the earnest consideration of every
thinking person.
The ~Flrst Church. It's most loyal
members hasten to explain, Is first
in establishment only. 1t il the
largest and most costly edifice; but
each of the others is of equal import
nnce. They Were founded simply I'm
response to the call from the various
sections Of the city which evidenced
n need for them. This spirit of
equality and unanimity is a rigidly up
held doctrine of Christian Science.
There are no leaders. The smallest
church, the humbiest member of the
congregation, each has equal claims
of respect and consideration.

How Monkeys Learn.

1t would be very simple matter
for fourteen months old child to
learn to pull in, by means of very
light toy wooden rake, an object
which it could not reach with its
hands, says j. b. Watson, and yet,
Jimmie, n very tame Rhesus monkey
of mine. spent many days in trying
TO learn this simple act and had not
learned to manipulate the rake when
our patience ran out. Jimmie was
kept moderately hungry at the time
OF the experiments: he was tethercd
just out of reach of some very tempt
ing food malaga grapes). A light
top wooden rake was given him. In
stinctiveiy, he grasped it, hit 1t, then
dropped it and began straining ut
tether and reaching out as far rs pos
sible with his foreleg, making vain eff
forts to scratch in his food. The rake
was then put around one of the grapes
and the handle extended toward Jim
mic. Instantly he grasped the handle
as before and jerlSed 1t, and the grape
rolled within reach of his paw. The
rake was dropped and forgotten and
the faithful paw utilized for the com
pletion of the act.
Now what happens when the grape
has been eatenI The rake is still
within his reach and the grapes arc
still outside the pale. Does he per

tween food out of reach, rake will

The Poet and His Song.
$ the birds come in the spring,
We know not from where;
: tho stars come at evening

We know not from where;
AS the stars come at evening
From depths of the air.
As the rain comes from the cloud,
And the brook from the ground;
As suddenly. low or loud,
Out of silence. a sound;
As the grape comes to the vine,
The fruit to the tree;
AS the wind comes TO the pine,
And the tide to the sea;
AS como the white sails of ships
Der the oceans verge;
As comes the smile to the lips,
The foam to the surge;
So comes to the poet his song,
All hitherward blown,
From the misty realm that belongs
To the vast unknown.
His. and not his, are the lays
He sings; and their fame
Is his. and not his: and the praise
And the pride of n name.
For voices nursue him nv day,
And haunt him by night;
And he listens, and needs must obey
When the Angel says. "Writen

Of one Of the weirdest tales in the
history Of the Indians, AMI is proof
Of 1.-THE growing intelligence Of the
redskins. When a young man, Stink,
supposedly died and was buried by
his fellow tribesmen with the custo-
mary ceremonies His body was
covered with rocks, his favorite pony
tied to nearby tree and food placed
on the grave to provide sustenance
on the long trip to the happy hunting
grounds.
On the morning following his burial
Stink recovered from what had APP
parently been "a swoon, clawed his
way from the grave, and, mounting
his pony, rode into the Indian village,
prepared for glad reception as one
who had arisen from the dead. In
'slte6d, he was greeted with fear and
hi ed Squaws and children ran
4 hi. him, and the bravest of the
aves cursed him as a thing Of evil.
THE Great Spirit has spewed him
ut, and his trfbesmen should do like
Fise," declared the medicine man.
10, with many objurgations and with
warning never to return, Stink was
lent forth from the village. For 25
ears the taboo has been in full eff
ect Occasionally the prematurely
(ged and broken man has attempted
10 effect a reconciliation. but the ef-
Tort has been useless until now. The
9sages, long obdurate, have at last
softened their hearts and have agreed
among themselves to restore Stink. to

Collinsville,, /. T., October las
the guests of Henry Spybuck, chief
of the Shawnee tribe, thousands OF
fullblood Indians of the Oklahoma and
Indian Territory tribes are assembled
here todaysfor what will probably be
their last great pow-wow. A great
program of festivities has been ar
ranged by the Shawnees. and the
celebration will extend through the
week All of the famous chiftains of
the new state, including Geronimo,
leader of the Apaches, are here or
will arrive later While all the an
cient Indian games. dances and
amusements will be INDUCED in, the
pow-wow is expected to have serious
effects by the inauguration of plan
whereby the Indians of the entire
Southwest shall abandon their tribal
relations and take up the pale face
mode of living. Chief Spybuck, of
the Shawnees, is the leader in this
movement. He believes that the
redskins have become sufficiently
civilized and well enough educated
to become good American citizens,
and the coming of statehood in Oklr-
homa renders such action imperative
if the Indians are to protect their
interests.
During the week a~great stump
dance will be held at Sylvan park,

the Cherokees and Osages iftsA seven
