WAR FOUGHT BY BOYS

We forget that the Civil war was
waged for the most part by mere
boys, says the Chicago Post. OF the
2.27S.5Ss who enlisted on the Union
side. practically all were boys. The
$4,000 Of this number who were over
twenty-one years Of age form but .
fractional part Of the enormous total
lof 1850, 900. A million Of this total
were. at enlistment, between eighteen
and twenty-one. About 100000 We're
eighteen years old. About 10000
we're seventeen, and some 100. 900 from
fourteen to fifteen years old. Three
hundred were thirteen. 225 were
twelve, 80 were eleven. and there
were 25 who were only ten years Of
age at the time of enlistment. The
figures On the southern side would
probably show yet earlier average
age 1t is this fact that keeps the pen
sion roll alive today. II the average
soldier was twenty at enlistment, he
would be today but seventy-one years

UNKIsSED AT ONE HUNDRED

Miss Rachel Bell, who lives on the
same plot of ground where she was
born at Adamsville, O., celebrated her
hundredth birthday the other day.
She says that she expects to live at
least ten years longer, and that there
is nothing so sweet as life when one
gets old. Miss Bell maintains that
she has never been kissed, and that
though she had many offers to marry
when she was young, the man never
came around whom she could marry
and feel satisfied that she was doing
the right thing. When she was born
her father kept vigil all night and day
outside their cabin. protecting the
mother and children from a band Of
Indians who were then pillaging the
