BULLETS IN BATTLE.
Death Wounds and Flesh Wounds and
the Feeling When Struck.

the Feeling When Struck.
In Serving the Republic General
Nelson A. Miles says that. like every
other soldier who has seen much active
service, he is often asked how it feels
to be wounded. He himself was
wounded four times and twice almost
fatally, so he is able to speak from
experience. He says:
"One is often asked how it seems to
be wounded in battle The flight Of
bullet Is quicker than thought and has
passed through flesh wound before
one realizes that he has been struck.
have seen bodies of men dead on the
field of battle where the brain had
been pierced and death had been in
stantaneous. They would remain in
every position Of the manual of arms
with an anxious look, frown or
smile on their cold and rigid faces.
my wounds received at Fair Oaks,
Fredericksburg and Petersburg were
flesh wounds and disabled me but a
short time. While riding down the
line at Charlottesville one of the enc
my's bullets struck my metallic belt
plate with great force. This caused
slight deviation as it entered the body.
The result was an instant deathly sick
ening sensation. My sword dropped
from my right hand; my scabbard and
belt dropped to the left. l was COM
pletely paralyzed below the waist. My
horse seemed to realize what had oc-
Cured. He stopped, turned and walked
slowly back, l holding to the pommel
Of the saddle with my hands We
soon reached a group of soldiers, who
took me off and, placing me in blan-
ket, carried me to the Charlottesville
House and pulled dead man off
couch to make room for me-"

Anger.

Bride thy passion. Anger is the sin
OF all the greatest. 1t leads up to deeds
Known only to the darkest hours of night.
1t tempts the upright man to throw aside
His cloak of reason and go forth to dip
His hands in human blood. 1t covers up
The path where duty walks with stead
fast feet
II will not listen to the soft appeals
or maiden loveliness or turn aside
From its fierce purpose when the dimpled
hands
or mercy are held up before its gaze.
II will not falter in its stubborn course
When old age counsels with great swelling
words.
1t is the curse of youth and middle age,
OF gray haired men and women. 1t be-
numbs
The sensibilities OF all alike.
'Tis only fit to live where madmen live,
Safe stalled behind the strongest prison
bars.

Haste Not, Rest Not.


Without haste, without rest.
Bind the motto TO thy breast.
Bear II with thee as spell.
Storm or sunshine, guard II we'll.
Heed not flowers that round thee
bloom.
Bear It onward to the tomb.
Haste not. Let no reckless deed
Mar for aye the spirits speed.
Ponder well and know the right.
Forward then with all thy might!
Haste not. Years cannot atono
For one reckless action done.
Rest not. Time Is sweeping by.
Do and dare before you die.
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind to conquer time.
Glorious 'tis to live for aye,
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not; rest not: calmly wait.
Meekly hear the storms of fate.
Duty be thy polar guide.
Do the right whate'er betide
Haste not; rest not. Conflicts past,
Good shall crown thy work at last.

A young country merchant who had
something Of reputation for close
figuring was especially attentive to
the village schoolmaam. The young
woman had a sweet tooth and was not
at all retiring about making the fact

admirer that box of chocolates

THE HUMk,l FOOT.
II Is Said to Be Changing and In Time
May Become Toeless.


A London physician. DR.. R. Clement
Lucas, says that if man keeps on wear
ing shoes and living under the present
conditions he may eventually develop
into one toed animal. or. more prop
erly speaking, a toeless one.
A number Of years ago DR.. Lucas
pointed out that the gradual disappear
ance of the little toe was getting ahead
fof the textbook, for while it had al
ready lost one of its extensor tendons
in quite an appreciate percentage of
cases, one of its fleXor tendons was
absent also. On the other hand, the
great toe had undergone extraordi-
nary developments because the inner
side of the foot was the first to catch
the center of gravity in transferring
the weight of the body from one foot
to the other in walking.
The horse. which was once a five
toed animal, now moves about solely

ad toes. There is no doubt that mans

in every crisis of it's history, in war and in peace from the time of the Revolution to the present day, the in Slnuatlon that their action is govern ed Or influenced by "a European heri- tage" or by any consideration other than the honor and the interests of the United States. Applause on the Democratic side.) The question of home rule for Ireland does not enter into this matter. The denial of home rule does not influence the action of Irish citizens, and neither the prom ise nor the actual concession of home rule will alter their attitude in the to all entangling alliances, whether open and avowed or disguised as ar bitration treaties. Their well justified distr9st of England is nothing com pared to their love of America.
 No reasons but such as are Ameri- can in character have been given by 1 those Americans, whom he is pleased to call ''our Irish friends" for oppos- ing this treaty. Their arguments have all been made from a we l-tal1en American point of view, and to take any other would be improper and un- patriotic. I therefore advise the gen. teman that it would be far more credftable to his statesmanship 10 aw his inferences from we'll established of imagination.
 MT. Speaker, there is no occasion for untlnely haste in conc 'uding these treaties Let the question be fully and carefully discussed throughout the entire country. There has been no public discussion heretofore, and the attempt to drive these treaties through the Senate with unreasoning haste is mysterious at least. This is a queS- tion which involves a radical depar- ture in our foreign policy, and iA should not be arranged at a secret meeting in the White House and rati- fled at an executive session of the Senate.
 And let us in the meantime recall these weighty words spoken by the irn- mortal Washington in his farewell ad- dress:
 Against the insidious wiles of for efgn influence, I conjure you to be- lieve me, fellow citizens, the jealousy of a free people ought to be constant ly awake, since history and eXperi- ence prove that foreign influence Is one of the most baneful foes of republican government
 Viewed in the light of present events these words were inspired by prophet ic vision. They have marked out the path along which this Nation has heretofore travelled and led the world in the march of progress, enlighten- ment, and civilization. It is a price less heritage, and we ought to pause and give searching criticism and pro found consideration to any proposition to barter it away. Loud applause)

BROTHER AGAINST
 BROTHER IN FIGHT
 OVER KANE ESTATE
Much Bitterness Displayed al Hearing Yesterday in
 Probate Court

The continued hearing on the appli- cation of Executor George F. Mara for the admission to probatz of the will of the late Jeremiah Kane oS this city, made Iitt.e progress before Judge Hallen, yesterday. The matter was adjourned until Monday, March 4. to give other relatives an opportunity to be heard
 The fight over the admission of the will has practically settled into a bit ter contest between two brothers. Al torney O. H. Raine of Boston, and David Kane, of F'itchbUrg, Mass. The Boston lawyer is not mentioned in the vii, while the Fftchburg man is Jbe residuary legatee. Attorney Thomas M. CuIlinan appears for the e21eca- tor.
 Thomas Connors is bequeathed the saloon business in Bank street The rest of the estate comprises about St.- coo in cash and $500 in jeweIry. All this goes to the Fftchburg brother The Boston lawyer, represented by At torney James H. O'Rourze, opposes admission of the will. The line of examination of the witnesses indicates that the opposition is to be based up on aims that the testator was Of un- sound mind.
