"The old Man and jim"
The "old man" never had much to
say excepting to jim, and Jim was
the widest boy he had The old man
knew, and so did everybody in the
town, including the lady's own hus-
band, that Jim loved his neighbors
wife. But Jim didn't care and the old
man was so completely wrapped up
in him that he closed his eyes to the
wildncss of the lad. Nine sons and
Jim was the widest of them all Then
came news Of the war that was soon
to break forth between North and
South
And the inevitable happened. The
lady's husband saw Jim attemUt to
kiss his wife and she permitted him

disgracoful fight wns precipitated and
while the husband lay stunned and
bleeding upon the floor, the news was
thrown like bomb upon the excited
crowd i'm the room. The war has
broken out" Then was that terrible
but necessary slaughteL-of brave men
begun and jim was the first to
so. Some wagging tongues suggested
that he had to go to escape the result
of his terrible deed.
However, Cap" Bigler soon wrote
back that Jim was the bravest man
I'm the whole regiment, white or black,
that his fighting was as good as his
farming was bad, and he'd carried

The old man worded a letter to
Jim and Jim read it to the boys. 1t
said, Good bye, jim, take care o.
yourself" Then came the battle of
Petersburg, Genl Grant commanding
The boys in grey lay behind their
entrenchment and literally moved
down the lads in blue. Then the
spark leaped into Jim's soul, for he
dashed with his men right up to the
enemy's cannon, took them, pointed
them the other way, and socked it
home to the boys in grey as they hur-
ried for timber, on and on, Jim, a
lieutenant with one arm gone.
No battle in those terrible times was
fiercer. None had deadlier results
Upon heap of piled up corpses. grey

While his life blood ebbed away.

father OF Emancipation, Abraham
Lincoln, for whom Jim lay there dy-

fighters for Freedom. stood Liberty
herself. resplendid in her robe Of
Freedom. Blessing the stricken boy
the vision fades, and Jim, with an
effort rises to his feet, climbs to the
