On Wrong Side Of the Works.

A. d. Hickok. Captain, Sth Wis, Nor
man, Okla, writes:
Il noticed in The National Tribune
that the 11th Mo, led by Col. Mower,
was the only regiment in the Fifteenth
Corps that placed its colors on the rebel
works at Vicksburg in the charge made
on May 22, 1863. Gen. Mower COM
manded the whole brigade, not the 11th
Mo. | do not know the order in which
the regiments made the charge, for the
ground was very rough and broken, but
I do know that the Sth Wis. went i'm on
a double-quick by the flank on wagon
road that ran straight to the rebel
works. When the head of the regiment
reached the works the crowd of men
bucked up with the rest, close to the
rebel works, for that was the safest
place. The fact is, we were corralled
right there. We could not get away
until after dark that evening: Any am
bilious color guard could have walked
few steps to the rebel works and
stuck their colors there, but where
would have been the glory? We were
on the wrong side of the works for
glory ] attribute our failure to two
causes: First, think the entire brigade
went in by the flank. not in line of bat
tie: second, it was impossible to climb
the steep, high bank of earth at the
place we made the attack"

Usually answers to requests for
short sketches of regiments are correct,
but II is an error to say that the 1Ith
Mo. was the only regiment in the Fif-
teenth Corps to reach the enemy's
works at Vicksburs, and, theirs the only

her in astonishment.

a gracious act If you can give him up.
OF course IL you do the dinner must
be at the orphanage, but perhaps we
can make it seem homelike anyway"
So it was settled that Frederick the
Great was to go from the Carpenter
home, that the orphans might have
Christmas dinner.
They set to work at once to make
ready for the auction. Henry made
posters, which some of the boys helped
him put up In conspicuous places
about town. They were yellow and
could be seen at quite q distance, and
many stopped TO read the queer signs
which told that on Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock on the school diamond
Frederick the Great would be sold to
the highest bidder.
The placards did their work and did
it well. the tongues of the school chill
dren aided and news of the benefit sale
flew like wildhre.
Saturday morning brought dozens OF
people to the playground The gram
mar school was splendidly represented
while lads from the high school and a
number of men waited for chance TO
bid When 10 o'clock came Henry
mounted TO the highest seat OF the
bleachers to begin the sale. Frederick

Bessie stood lingering her dress and
digging her heel in the soft gravel,
trying to think OF some way out OF
the predicament. Just then Frederick

Frederick combined the good points of
the two royal breeds. Everybody in
town knew him. and many good offer
for him had been refused by the Car
penters, who would as soon have
thought of selling one Of the family
as their beloved pet.
He came up TO where Bessie stood
and rubbed his silky body against her
dress, at the same time giving a low
purr. She stopped and patted him, and
as she did SO an idea came into her
head.

called out "Ten dollars" The amount
grew steadily and rapidly. 1t was SIS
now and still the bids piled up. Henry's
voice was getting tired with much call
ing, but his ears tingled with excite
ment, for the sum had reached $27.
There was moments silence. No one
offered to go higher, so Frederick the
Great went to the mayor of the town.
"Twenty-seven dollars" thought
Henry. 'That will buy many turkeys"
Christmas day came and the dinner
at the home was an ever to be remem-
bered event. Nobody in town had ever
known $27 to go so high in the pur-
chase of good things to eat, and just
how 1t was done could be told only
by the grocers and poultrymen who
furnished the provisions There was

boys were resplendent in bright new

helped in every way they could. Henry

FOREIGN NATION HONORS
COMMANDER PEARY
ing Humbert Gold Medal
Awarded TO Him.
Confers With Secretary Meyer
With Reference To Leading To
Lay Claim To Wilkes Land,
Which Was Discovered by An
other American. But Over Which
No Flag Has Yet Flown-Hitter-
ly Assailed by A Cook Adherent

Washington, d. c. Especially -
Robert E. Peary. discoverer of the
North Pole, had the unique expert
ence of being decorated by a for
elgn scientific society and vitupera-
ted by fellow-explorer and country
man. Furthermore, it was an
nounced that Congress may supply
funds with which the American who
has been furtherest north will lead
an expedition into the Antarctic seas
to lay claim to territory discovered
nearly 100 years ago by another in
trepid American and over which no
flag has yet been flown
The Italian Geographical Society
is the organization which has con-
ferred the decoration on Command
er Peary. In cablegram received
by Mr. Peary from Marquis Cappelli
president of the society. the latter
says:
Council Italian Geographical So
ciety awarded you King Humbert
gold medal on account your long
successful attempts to- reach the
North Pole; silver medal Captain
Bartlett. Please wire If accept in
vitation lecture Rome May after Lon
dom"
Commander Peary promptly re-
piled that he was highly honored and
that he accepted the medal. He
withheld his acceptance of the in
vitation to speak in Rome, however,
for he is in a measure now subject
to the orders of the Navy Depart
ment.
Secretary Meyer, on whom the of
floor nal1nh hat
decided to have Commander Peary
head the expedition that will lay
claim to Wilkes Land on behalf of
the United States, President Taft
probably may ask Congress to pro-
vide sufficient finds for the carry
ing out of the expedition
Wilkes Land lies far down in the
Antarctic, and was discovered early
in the nineteenth century by Charles
Wilkes, an American naval officer
/ 1t has never been considered of
enough commercial or strategic i'm
portance to warrant its attachment
by this government, and, for like
reasons, no other country has cast
covetous eyes upon it. In view of
the interest now attaching to the
search for the South Pole, it sudden
ly has become of Importance.
Neither Secretary Meyer nor Com
mander Peary would divulge the ma
ture of their conference, which oc-
cupied more than an hour. Il is
not improbable that the Secretary
explained to his caller the reasons for
the defeat in Congress of the at
tempt to have the explorer retired
with the rank and pay of a rear
admiral.
Mr.. Peary will retain his present
status pending action by Congress
on the bills to retire him as rear
admiral. He will leave Washington
soon for Europe, where he will make
addresses before several scientific
societies. If Congress fails to enact
a law placing Mr.. Peary on the re-
tired list as a civil engineer, with the
rank of rear admiral, it is probable

MADRIz' ARMY
IN MATAGAlPA
Insurgents Evacuate City in the
Night.
GENERAL CHAM0RRo HAD NO CANNON.
Government Forces Had The Nicar-
aguan Town Almost Surrounded,
And Chamorro Escaped None Too
Soon--He Deserts Estrada And
Makes Overturas To Madriz,
Which Are Internationally Re-

Managua Especially. - The forces
of President Madriz have again taken
possession of 'Matagalpa, which on
February 10 was occupied by Gener-
al Chamorro, one of the insurgent
leaders.
The bombardment of the city,
which was begun Sunday night, after
notification had been given to the
n-combatants to withdraw, was
abandoned for some hours, and begun
against Tuesday. The government
forces had heavy guns on the hills, but
the insurgents We're without means
TO reply at long range Chamorro,
therefore, deemed it advisable to re-
treat and under cover of darkness
evacuated Matagalpa at an early hour
this morning.
Generals Lara, Chavarria, Martinez
and Rivas, each of whom commanded
sections of the government troops, re-
occupied the city at noon. Chamorro
did not escape any too soon, as he
was nearly surrounded by the govern
ment forces, which had been brought
up as quickly as the condition of
the country would permit during the
last few days
1t is reported here that General
Chamorro has broken away from
General Estrada and proclaimed him
self president. Overtures have been
made to President Madriz by Cha
MORO through the medium of the
American consular agent, w. II. De
Savigny at Matagalpa, for the rees-
tablishment of peace. Chamorro's
offer, embodied in a letter, is now
in the hands of Vice Consul Cal
dera, and President Madriz has as
yet been only unoffcially informed
OF the proposal, but he has already
given his answer, which is that the
unconditional surrender and impris-
onment of Chamorro are the only
terms acceptable.
Lieutenant Commander Symington
