ECHOES OF WAl DAYS

one of the most interesting char
acters to be $een at the old soldiers
encampment is Sanford c. West,
drummer. Born in Rockford, New
York, in 1894, he entered the 18th
corps of the Western Army in May,
,s1 and continued in the service as a
drummer until he was mustered out
,n lime GA. His days of service
uere active ones. Among the most
famous engagements that he took
mart in were the siege of Vicksburg,
the battle of Lookout Mountain and
the fight of Missionary Ridge. OF all
those engagements, together with the
events of each day of the entire four
years West kept a detailed diary. He
refused to part with this manuscript
at any price at the end of the war
and as a consequence it was stolen
srom his home within year and all
trace of it was lost. Probably 1t
went to make up the details of some
chronicle published by an enterpris-
ing company. West was with the H.
linois infantry at the time that the
commander, Colonel Wyman, was
killed The drummer saw the Col
mel fall and made his way to him.
AS he bent over the body piece of
she'll tore away the collar and shout
der of his blouse, but left him un-
touched. Again and again bullets
tore their way through his hat and
clothing, but not once during the war
was he injured Sanford West is the
proud possessor of the drum which
he made himself when he was 10
years old and which he used during
the political campaign in which Polk
and Dallas were elected. He accom-
panied the men on their campaign
tour in an open wagon and when a
new town was reached the boy West
was rousted out to beat his home
made drum and draw the crowd to-
gether for the stump speech which
followed. In the years since the war
West has attended practically every
reunion which has been held by the
G. A. R. and everywhere his drum
ming has been received with enthus-
iasm. He is member of the Ma
tional Association of Civil War Mu-
sicians, an association which boasts
of some 700 remaining members. To-
day West lives at the Old Soldiers
Home at Port Orchard.

Horace Pardo of Spokane Joined

the war At Lookout Mountain
Hooker drilled his men for two days
before the charge. Up and down the
side of the mountain they were sent
at double-quick and hardly man re-
allied when the final charge was be-
gun. Pardo differs with some of the
old soldiers in believing that the
most trying part of campaign is
charging instead of receiving a
charge. To use his words, Charging
is the worst. You see you are going
at double quick and the enemy has
every opportunity to NOW you down

He was only a private, but there
are few men who can tell of a more
strenuous service during the four
years of the war than Private Isaac
D. Rowden. Rowden enlisted in the
opening year of the war in the 14th
infantry under Ex-Governor Palmer.
After a years service he was dis
charged, but Immediately accepted a
mans offer of good horse and bril-
die to take his place in the Fifth
Missouri, and for several months
Rowden answered to another mans
name and took his chances of being
killed. Following his service in Mis-
souri, Rowden went to st. Louis and
enlisted in the 18th Missouri Cavalry,
Company K. He was in Memphis,
Tenn, when General FORESTS cav
airy swept into the city and took po-
sition in the public square, on three
corners of which were hospitals AL
though there was a battery only
three-quarters of a mile away and in
good position to shell the rebels, it
was impossible to do so on account
OF the hospitals and so the cavalry
forces which Rowden was with were
ordered in An extremely hot fight
took place, in which Rowden's horse
was shot and seven bullets tore
through his coat. He escaped with
out injury at this time, but later, on
the very day that President Lincoln
met his death, Rowden, with seven
companions, was cut off by a COM
pany of Forests scouts while forag-
ing and knowing that surrender
meant death they fought it out.
hoWden was left for dead on the field
with both sholders dislocated, hole
through his shoulder and bullet
IN his neck. He was picked up by a
rebel and cared for in a crude way.
Inc bullet in his neck was extracted
WIN the aid of a curved pruning
knife. Rowden lay for seven weeks
without any medical attention, fin

A HARMLESS Way TO
DARKEN The HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy for
All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy and in good
condition.? AS matter of fact, Sui
phur is natural element of hair,
and deficiency of it in the hair is
held my many scalp specialists to be
connected with loss of color and vi
tality of the hair. Unquestionably
there is no better remedy for hair
and scalp troubles, especially prema-
ture grayness, than Sage and Sui
phur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal prepara-
ton of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which
Sage and Sulphur are combined with
other valuable remedies for keeping
the hair and scalp in clean, healthy
condition.
If your hair is losing it's color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get fifty cent bottle of Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the sim
pie directions, and see what differ

in the appearance of your hair.
