and the warm affection of the men
with whom he had served so faithfully
and so long, the day came when there
had to be final parting. Two hundred
of the men were pushing a. fresh In
dian trail when Old Jack, going at an
easy gallop, put his foot into a gopher
hole and broke fore leg. Two hun
dred men groaned aloud at the sight
of the poor beast standing there in the
shadow Of certain death. There was
neither water nor grass for miles
around, and. anyhow. the wolves would
pull him down after few hours. and
he deserved better death. And yet
no one could be found willing to kill
him.
strip off the saddle and shoot him"
That was the order that came back
from the head of the column, and that
was the order given by Captain X. to
Sergeant B. The saddle was removed,
and, although Old Jack must have
been suffering intense pain, he did not
utter sigh, only his eyes seemed to
open little wider than usual, and he
appeared somewhat worried and anx-
ious as he looked around.
captain, can't do it; simply can
not" replied the sergeant "Give that
order to some one else"
A second and third man were
named. but all asked to be relieved Of
the unpleasant duty. Then a corporal
stepped out and placed the muzzle of
his revolver to Old Jacks ear, but a
| hundred men shouted in chorus, and
he did not pull the trigger.

orders to shoot that horse at once,"
announced a messenger from the front.
Sergeant B., put that poor beast
out of his misery" ordered the cap
tain.
"I've got to do it or stand a court
martial, I suppose" growled the ser.
geant, "but I'd sooner take shot at
somebody down in front. Perhaps he
isn't so badly hurt after all and some.
thing can be done for him."
"Hurry up! Can't you see that the
bone is broken square OFF,"
"It's the same thing as murder!"
Poor Old Jack was rubbing his nose
against the sergeant's left hand and
whimpering. as if he would inquire
what it was all about. The face OF
every man present was turned away
and many stopped their ears to shut
out the sound of the revolver. NJ
one looked as the revolver cracked
and the column moved on its way.
Looking straight ahead and with {
suspicious quivering of the chin. tht
sergeant was heard to whisper:
"I wish I hadn't done it. wish
had taken arrest and court martial in
stead Poor old comrade!"

With the withdrawal of a quarter
from the hip of Walter Charlwood of
st. Louis the liquidation of this hui
man savings bank was completed.
Total deposits in currency one time
amounted to GO cents, while within his
anatomical vault he also carried
good sized penknife.
Charlwood went shooting in Colora-

was scarce his companion fired at a
rattlesnake. What happened to the
snake is not recorded, but Charlwood
got most of the charge of buckshot in
his hip. The shot drove into the mus

and penknife.
A surgeon in the University of Col

GIVE ENGINE TO ENGINEER.
Railroad Honors Old Time Employee
Who Runs Fast Train.

The Erie railroad has honored Alex
ander Larkin Of Cleveland, one of its
oldest engineers, both in years and in
point of service, by presenting to him
on his sixty-eighth birthday the engine
which he drives daily In hauling the
Pittsburg flier between Cleveland and
Youngstown.
Larkin has been with the company
for forty-nine years. He began his
career as a fireman with the Atlantic
and Great Western railroad, part Of the
Erie system. He served about six
months as a fireman and was then
made an engineer.
Ever since then he has been running
on fast trains, most of the time be-
tween Cleveland and Youngstown or
Pittsburg. He has been in but two ac-
cidents, in both of which he was in
jured.
The engine is to be regarded as his
personal property and can be used by
no other engineer.

"1T's THE SAME THING AS MURDER"
in the ranks, where he was given such
a reception as only an old comrade
could have counted on.
Far up the Platte, after the army
had got we'll into the Indian country,
q dozen men We're cut off from the
command one day. 1t was race for
life The horse Of a trooper fell with
q broken leg, and Lieutenant X. took
the man up behind him. Old Jack
came in carrying double, an arrow
grazing his quarter as he made the
last half mile.
Farther west it was Old Jack who
suddenly raised an alarm one mid
night just in time to save the troop
from attack. A week later he was
bitten by rattlesnake, and he was
ordered to be shot, as has been done
In a score Of like cases, but Company
A would not have it so, and, Provi-
dence sending a heavy rainstorm to
stop the march, heroic doses Of whis-
Ky were poured down his throat, and
in the course of few days he was
all right and kicking up his heels as
of yore.
Not long after this, one day while
the brigade was marching along up
between the forks Of the upper Platte,
Old Jacks rider ventured too far from
camp, and he was rushed by half a
dozen Indians. He dismounted and
covered them with his revolver over
the saddle. The horse stood like a
rock. The savages yelled and waved
blankets and fred their rifles, but they
could not stampede him. In the midst
of the excitement he saw the relief
party while it was more than mile
hway and neighed shrill call Of rec
ognition and warning to ride fast.
Is it at all strange that the men of his
company loved him as thoroughly as
they loved their fellows? There were
just fifty-flve men in Company A out
on the plains, and had they some day
been obliged to accept fifty-five hard
tack for full days rations Old Jack
would have shared equally with the
men That's how much they thought
of him.

OLD JACK, A
Wartime HERO
By J. n. ROCKWELL.


Ar OST men like horse, but only
a cavalryman takes horse
N8 into full partnership or gives
him that admiration which
heroes deserve. Love for Old Jack be-
gan at Gettysburg, when he saw the
captain who rode him cut of from his
command and called upon to surren-
der. He shouted his defiance, gave
Old Jack the spur and that horse
brought him over seven fences and
great ditch back to his company. A
bullet had raked the gallant steed, and
the men cheered him as they wiped the
blood away with their handkerchiefs.
Late that fall after a slashing fight
on Virginia meadow one afternoon
we found Old Jack standing over the
dead body Of his master. Other horses
We're galloping wildly about here and
there, but Old Jack stood unmoved by
the excitement about him. Wounded
horses approached to beg for SYM
pathy, but he drove them away for
fear they would injure the man at his
feet.
He was with the army up and down
the Shenandoah valley during a long
campaign, and one night when ter
dfic storm stampeded 300 horses over
to the enemy he alone returned. He
raided and fought through that me-
morable year of 1864 and was wound
ed twice, but when the last campaign
came he was ready for it, and when
the final surrender of the enemy was
made the white flags almost brushed
his nose. Only a day or two before
this piece of shell had given him a
severe hurt. but when driven to the
rear with hundreds Of other wounded
horses he literally fought his way back
to the front.
When he returned from Appomat-
master got hold Of him, but when 1t
became known by his old brigade that
they were to go west Old Jack was
put on the active list again and went
with them. At Fort Leavenworth,
where they weeded out the horses pre-
paratory to the long trip to the Colo
RADIO line, Old Jack was led away to
be branded with the letter "C'' and
sold to the highest bidder at public
auction. Company A, to which he
had been attached, resolved and pro-
tested and argued against it, but tc
no avail. However, before the degrad
ing iron had touched his shoulder
Second Lieutenant K. bought him, and
he was brought back to his old place
