CAMPO IN
FIRE 4Gg&E:19A 4s!@GaA
YOUNG DRUMMER BOY A HERO
First Medal Of Honor Awarded to
Julian Scott, Fifteen Years Old,
Of Vermont.

The first soldier to win the coveted
medal of honor was Julian Scott, a
fitteen-year-old drummer boy In the
Third Vermont infantry in 1852 The
act which gained him the medal was
performed several months before the
congressional act instituting the re-
ward was passed
The medal of honor Is the highest
decoration for personal valor awarded
to the soldiers and sailors of the Unit
ed States. It Is to Americans what the
Victoria Cross Is to the English or the
Iron Cross to the Germans.
The act of congress ordering 1000
of these medals to be prepared was ap-
Proved by President Lincoln July IL,
1862. and the first medal was issued
the following year. It was five-point-
ed star OF gun metal, tipped with trc-
foil, each point containing a vfctor's
crown of oak and laurel.
On official occasions, says Uncle
Sans Magazine, 1t was worn suspend
ed around the neck and under the cen
president. A bowknot OF ribbon Is
worn in the lapel of the coat in the alb
sence OF the medal.
In 1868 the Grand Army OF the Re
public organization adopted design
so similar that 1t was misleading and
steps were taken by the Medal OF
Honor Legion to have new design
issued to replace the Old one. Con.
gress In 1904 adopted the new medal
1t is of silver. heavily electroplated in
gold.
The ffve-pointed star has been re-
tanned and in its center appears the
head OF the heroic Minerva, the high
est symbol OF wisdom and righteous
war
1t was on the morning OF April 16
that the afterward famous Vermont
,brigade-Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
regiments-was ordered TO advance
and to attack q strong fortification
masked in forest near Lees Mills
or Burnt Chimneys, on the right bank
OF Warwick river. When the command
reached the bank of the river under
cover of the fire of light battery
four companies OF the Third regiment,
in one of which Julian Scott was serv-
ing as musician, despite desperate re-

sistance by the enemy, hidden among
trees and dense underbrush on the
opposite side, succeeded in wading
across.
The water midstream was breast
high and soaked the paper cartridges
carried In little leather boxes on the
back. The rest Of the brigade failed
to come up, but the plucky advance
guard drove the Confederates from
their position and had pursued them
some distance before they rallied
Then, unsupported and with worthless
ammunition, the Vermonters fell back.
AS soon as the enemy realized that
the retreating companies had no de-
fence but bayonets they subjected
them to a merciless fire.
The climax to the catastrophe came
when the Vermont companies reached
the stream they had forded an hour
earlier and found 1t roaring food.
While the fighting had been going on
the Confederates had opened the food
gates at the mills above and had cut
off their assailanta Many of the Yer
monters tried to swim the stream. but
were drowned. Others were shot as
they hesitated on the bank
Young Scott plunged into the water
and struck out for the opposite shore.
In midstream he stopped to rescue a
wounded comrade who was shot
through the neck while swimming be-
side him. Scott pulled him to shore
and laid him on the bank out of dan
ger and again and again returned to
the stream, rescuing wounded and ex-
hausted men until he had drawn II
of his comrades to safety.
Even then, faint from the long strug.
gle and suffering intensely from bad
wound in his head, he went back once
more to have twelfth man, also
wounded, from being carried down
with the food The man died as Scott
laid him on the bank. 1t was by such
service that the first medal of honor
was won. Julian Scott lived not only
through the war. but for many years
after 1t, and is hlried now In a Plain.

Is not sitting down recrudescence

So saying, he took q pinch at my
shirt front and stepped back again
impressively.
Then his great head shot forward in
front of his rigid neck-so suddenly,
by Jove, that | reached out to try to
catch 1t, don't you know. He made
just two strides to the table, ten feet
| away, and pounced upon the pajamas
with obviously trembling hands.
And behind his back Billings re-
lapsed into an armchair and famed
himself with magazine.
The professor fumblingly sought
through his pockets, and producing &
pair of spectacles with phenomenally
large lenses, adjusted them shakily.
He bent over the pajamas eagerly.
Impossible! And yet, 1t is, 1t isl"
he muttered. II would know the
weave among a thousand. 1t is hers
undoubtedly, undoubtedly-the lost
silk of SLING Chi! How comes 1t
here?"
He glared around rather wildly at
each of us in turn. Without waiting
for a reply, he whisked back to the
pajamas, and fishing out thick mag
nifying lens, scrutinized the garments
closely. 1t seemed that he would GER
tainly nod his big head off its jolly
hinge; and his quick side glances at
Billings and myself, together with his
growing and muttering, just remind
ed me OF dog with bone, by Jove!

stared at me, and then he slipped over
to the divan upon which dropped,

standing so long.
Whose did he say?' he whispered.
Celia something" answered.
Dash it, didn't catch her surname.
oh, say, you know, this is awful"
Out of the professors mutterings
we caught random sentence.
Found, found again" we heard him
say. Hers beyond peradventure of
doubt. l am not mistaken"
"Ah, gentlemeni" exclaimed the
professor, coming back again, what
thing this little Chinese woman did
for civilization when she gave the
world silk culture and invented the
loom! No wonder the Chinese deitied
her as a goddess"
"Goddess!" Billings swallowed hard.
And did ese-h'm-garments be-
long to the lady?"
The professor frowned at him in sur
Drise "Garments?"
Them" said Billings in devilish
questionable grammar, pointing to the
table They are pajamas, you know"
Hal" calculated the professor,
holding them up. $50 they are. You

And he did! hadn't caught the

attempting now was laugh. l never
would have known 1t. II was more
like shrieking squeak-rusty hinge,
you know, that sort OF thing.
The professor looked up from the
patamas, and folding his arms, eyed
Billings with a cunning leer.
Il think l see." he said, leveling
his finger. You have both demon
strated how nonsensical Is the asser-
ton in this inscription. Doubtless you
desire an experiment upon my part
to confirm your proof of It's absurdity.
Reductio ad absurdum-eh. gentle
men?'
A devilish queer look had come into
Billings face. He nodded. gathered
