their regiments, without any chance Of
assistance, perhaps literally surround
ed by the enemy. And when the end
came for one of them he must die
alone, and in time he would be marked
missing on the books and every
trace of him would be lost. c. H.
Guinand, a famous shot in his day, a
past commander Of the Berdan Sharp
shooters, was the hero Of many stir
ring adventures Of the fighting before
Fredericksburg.
Few civilians or soldiers either, for
that matter, can realize what it meant
to be a sharpshooter In such a battle
as Fredericksburg" said Mr.. Guinand,
in recalling his experiences. II never
knew what 1t was to fight beside any
one. 1 had to follow my detail prac-
tically alone.
During the battle of Fredericksburg
I with two other sharpshooters was
detailed to pick off a negro sharp
shooter, a Confederate, who had been
working havoc among u men. We
got a glimpse of him now and then,
but nothing more. He was a crack
shot and had brought down many Of
fcers and privates. In order to get
within range Of him we had to go far
beyond our picket lines and beyond
any chance of assistance. This gen.
eral region was well within range Of
the enemy, a position much too dan
gerous for the regiment to venture On.
1.-THE three of us waited for night
and then crept with the greatest eau
ton toward the enemy's lines. By
morning we had hidden ourselves in
trees we'll apart, where we awaited
developments. We were we'll enough
hidden, but the bullets whistled
through, the trees and occasionally
dropped showers Of leaves on us; but
that was to be expected. WE'LL 1t took
us all day to, locate that negro, but we
got him finally. He had hidden him
self in an old chimney, which made a
pretty good defense. He would fire
and then duck behind the bricks, and
u bullets would glance off. During
that long wait both my companions
were silenced by the cross fire. It
vas two lives for one, but we never
hesitated when such a call came"

Politician and Preacher.

A politician in a western state, long
suspected of crookedness and noted
for his shifty ways, was finally In
!dicted and tried. The jury was out a
long time, but eventually acquitted
him. After the verdict was In and
the politician was leaving the court
room, a minister who had been In
part responsible for the indictment
and trial approached the politician
and said: well, my friend, o have
escaped; but you had a close shave.
I trust this will be a warning to you
to lead a better life and deal. more

of blue is marching into the unknown.
Flowers are strewn upon the graves Of
the dead and statistics Of mortality
are as freely flung at the heads Of
the living soldiers. Possibly the vet
Grams are not cheered by this sober
and convincing information, and GER
tainly their children and grandchil-
dren give 1t cold entertainment.
A look at the other side, the living
side, Of the old soldiers great day
presents something of good cheer as
well as a surprising fact-that Of the
extreme youth of the army of the
Union in those days when the life Of
a nation was at stake.
The survivors of the Union army of
the Civil war are known to number
at this date 100000, and a majority
Of these men are In the active pur-
suits Of industry. Although there are
a few very old men among the vet
erans, the average age of the sur
vivors is sixty-three years. With the
frightening of life which has become
a feature Of our time we ought to
have with us for many years at least
a fair remnant of the heroes of the
great war.
The most desperate civil war of
modern times was fought, it is now
realized, by boys in their teens or
barely out Of their teens. The rec
ords Of the wal and navy departments
show that of the enlistments 1,151,438
were at the age of eighteen years or
under. and that 2,159, 789 enlistments
were at the age Of twenty-one years
or under, while only 618, 511 of the
total 2~,778,309 enlistments were at
the age Of twenty two years and over.
In decorating the graves of the dead
and in honoring the living soldiers of
81 the whole nation renews yearly the
inspirations Of patriotism. This year
there are still In the land Of the living
and the country they saved more than
half a million of the heroic boys" of
81, and we are Just coming to see
that they really were boys, and boys
well worth remembering-those who
have answered the last roll call and
those who are yet with us in the bat
ties of peace.

Pat and his little brown mare were

One day while leading her to water
he had to pass a corner where a

Just Hopes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his peck
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which TO go downtown in
the morning. He Is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.

man should not allow his feelings to be
hurt when his wife runs across loose

ought to play the game and take such
