But Henry was by no means done for Against the verdict of all the surgeons he fought his way back to life and had the reward of his heroism when the cross was pinned on his breast
 A no less gallant bearer of a charmed life was Capt John Wood of the Twentieth Bombay Native Infantry, who covered himself with blood and glory in our war with Russia nearly sixty years ago
 Told off to lead the assault on strongly defended Russian fort. Capt Wood. who was well in advance of his men, rushed to the attack in the face of a hurricane of bullets Again and again he was struck, but he never paused until with waving sword and shout of triumph, he charged over the parapet and ran the Russian leader clean through the body. Although drenched with blood pouring from seven wounds, he fought like demon until the last of the enemy was dis posed of, and not until victory was as- sured and complete would he consent

 It was in this battle that a color
 sergeant was discovered with fifteen wounds-a veritable lead mine" as a surgeon declared. but so amazing was his vitality that within two months he was as sound as ever again.
 Many a man carries a charmed life through that terrible fight on the banks of the Alma in the Crimean war, but

 Through the whole of that day of carnage he carried them, refusing point blank to go to the rear, although scarcely able to stand for loss of blood.
 Through what perils he carried his
 flag and his life may be imagined from the fact that the banner he so bravely bore was found to have been hit in seventy five places.
 Another of the heroes of the Alma was Lieut. Lindsay of the Scots Fusilier Guards, who carried the colors of his regiment through the entire bat
 tie.
 Waving his flag aloft the gallant
 young lieutenant raced up the heights
 through the tempest of shot and shell. although men were falling like autumn leaves around him and the flag he car

If is one of the ironies of battle that while one man may be killed by the first bullet that comes his way, his fel- low man may be hit a score of times and yet survive to fight again and to die peacefully in his bed.
 Already the story of the present war has furnished several illustrations of this strange diversity of luck, notable that of Kruitchkoff the valiant Cos slain in his first action. while he, after receiving sixteen wounds and killing eleven Germans single handed. is re- ported to be on the highway to recoV- cry.
 Even more amazing was the eX- perience of Lieut.. j. Evans of the In- his killing Fusilters, in our last South African war In the first attack on Pieters Hill, Lieut. Evans fell shot through the right shoulder by Mauser bullet For two entire days he lay on the hillside exposed to the fire of the enemy.
 When he was at last discovered, it was found that he had received no fewer than twenty six wounds Such, however, was the leutenanrs vitality that within a few months he was a hale man and fighting as valiantly as ever
 Few men have ever borne more charmed life in battle than Lieut. Con- low aides de camp. Schofeld and Rob- erts, he rushed over the bullet swept veldt at Colenso to the rescue of the guns. Roberts fell dead man before he had gone many yards; Congreve raced on through the tornado of lead

 But, desperate as his plight was the bullets raining thick as hail, the gal lant fellow managed to crawl to safety How fearful the lead storm was al Colenso may be gathered from the fact that one gunner was found with sixty four wounds in his body.

CURRENCY BilI's WORKINGS.

q BY the currency bill the Democratic
party created democracy of credit
such as has never existed in this
country before. Fer a generation or
more we have known and admitted
that we had the worst banking and
currency system. In the world, because
the volume of-our currency was wholly
inelastic; that Is, because there was
more than enough at certain seasons
to meet the demands of commerce and
credit, and at other times far too lit
tie; that we could not lessen the vol
ume when we needed less nor increase
it when we needed more. Everybody
talked about the absurd system and
its quite, necessary embarrassments,
sure to produce periodic panics; and
everybody said that it ought to be
changed and changed very radically;
but nobody took effective steps to
change it. Until the present congress
addressed itself to the task with genu-
ine< resolution and an intelligence
which expressed itself in definite &C.
ton. And now the thing is done.

Nor is this all. Secretary of War

People Will Not Overthrow the
Democrats.
Party's Conduct OF Affairs Undoubt-
ed!y Has. Met With the. Approba-
ton of Large Majority
of the Voters.

Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
stopped off in Washington for day
on his way to New York. He said
that crop conditions in Missouri are
excellent with the exception. of corn,
and there has been too much rain for
that staple. The people are beginning
to talk politics, he averred.
Il attended q number OF meetings"
said Senator Reed, "and everywhere
! found the administration exceed
ingly popular and the Democratic
party In excellent condition. The
president has grown very popular
among the people of all parties be-
cause they believe he is directing our
foreign affairs with rare patience and
wisdom. We do not want war, but
we do want the honor Of; our. nation
upheld with dignity, and that is>what
the. president is trying to do. He has
an exceedingly difficult task. j
One OF the most striking features
OF the political meetings I have at
tended is the evident respect in which
the president Is held. One is accus-
toned to hearing shouts and hurrahs
at the mention of Roosevelt or Bryan,
but when the name OF Wilson is spo-
ken there appears to be a disposition
among everybody. to take off his hat"
OF Democratic prospects next year
Senator Reed was very optimistic.

nothing to- it," said the senator, land
If it should end we shall have such an
era of prosperity that the people
would deem it unwise to make q
change. Washington Post.

Demand for.iTariff Revision.

There has been an outspoken, ma
tion-wide demand for downward re
vision of the tariff, since 1907. In the
campaign of the following year both
parties promised it. The party that
was given the opportunity to fulfill
that promise failed. It failed because
the president was deaf ito his party
voice and heard only the evil counsel
OF advisers who were no longer theil
party's Spokesman. There was not
evenathe. false stimulant of uncertainty
after, the inaugural four years ago. In
stead there was the blighting certainty
of . betrayal. Big Business chortled
and proceeded forthwith to become
bigger.

ton of the Wisest Character-Big
Issues Are Soon to Be Placed
Before the Country.

The Democratic majority In the next
house is certain to be in the neighbour
hood of 80. This will be ample for
strictly partisan purposes in most adj
ministration matters. x
If the tariff subject were opened up,
however, the tfnatority might be insult
ficient to insure safety for the admin,
istration. !. There are a number OF
Democrats who are in favor of a rea-
sonable amount of protection. :
Any attempt to suspend the free
trade clause of the sugar schedule,
therefore. is apt to prove dangerous

permit q general revision Of the tariff.

their majority on any issue, ~
Inasmueh as those conditions will pre-
