AT THE BLOODY ANGLE"
Recalled by Civil War Survivors as
Very Hot Place.

Recalled by Civil War Survivors as a
Very Hot Place.
One of the most desperate fights OF
the civil war was that which took
place at the Bloody Angle" on May
II. 1864 1t is still remembered by the
survivors as probably the hottest place
they ever were in. General L. A.
Grant, commander of the Vermont
brigade, described the fight at the
'aead line" as follows:
1T was not only desperate struggle,
but it was literally a hand to hand
fight. Nothing but the piled up logs or
breastworks separated the combatants.
Our men would reach over the logs and
fire into the faces of the enemy, who
would stab over with their bayonetS.
Many were shot and stabbed through
the crevces and holes between the
logs. Men mounted the works and
with muskets rapidly handed them
kept up continuous fire until they
were shot down, when others would
take their places and continue the
deadly work.
Several times during the day the
Confederates would show a white flag
about the works and when our fire
slackened jump over and surrender,
and others were crowded down to fill
their places. 1t was there that the
somewhat celebrated tree was cut off
by bullets-there that the brush and
logs were cut to pieces and whipped
into basket stuff"
General MCGOWAN, who was on the
other side of the trenches leading the
South Carolina brigade, stated in his
report:
Our men lay on one side of the
breastwork, the enemy on the other
and in many instances men were
pulled over The trenches on the right
had to be cleared Of the dead more
than once. An oak tree twenty-five
inches in diameter in rear Of the bri
gade was cut down by musket balls,
and it fell about - O'clock Thursday
night, the 18th, ininring several men
in the First Sc:!th Carolina regiment"

IN TIE WAR AND AFTER.
Battle Incident Which Led Later to
Restoration of a Sword.

General Keifer, later in congress
from the Springfield 90 district was
one Of the last men wounded in the
civil war. He entered the volunteer
army in April, 1861, and served until
after Lees surrender in 1868. In all
that time he received three scratches
scouting at the head of small force
of cavalry and came suddenly upon
large force Of Confederate cavalry.
There was Il SkirmiSh, in which keifer
was wounded and in which he would
have been killed had it not been for
the intervention of the Confederate
commander. who under the circum-
stances. simply wanted to be let alone.
Keifer returned to camp had his
wound dressed. reported to headquar-
ters and received special orders and
with re-entOrcementS started to find
the dcrelict COnfcdprateS. He found
them. and Colonel Tucker. the Confed-
crate commander, surrendered. keifer
carried fuckers sword home with him,
and it was kept in his library at Spring
field as Il trophy of the war.
In 1876 Keifcr was elected to con-
gresS and in 1891 was elected speaker.
Among his &cquaintances in 1879 was
John Randolph Tucker of Virginia. In
conversation one day Keifer told Tuck
er the story of the sword. and Tucker
said the officer who surrendered the
day of the Skirmish was undoubtedly
his brother. This fact being establish
ed, Keifer took the sword to Washing
ton and placed it in the hands of J.
Randolph Tucker. who restored it to
it's original owner In after years Cen
eral Keifer became again a member of
congress and found the son of j. Ran.

Letter." Miss Pickerwick's lips
tried to murmur in denial.
81 think / went mad with grief.
Then | wrote you, begging an inter-
view. You wrote back a refusal I
thought 1 hated you then, and In my
pain and wrath | married Delaphine -
Miss PickerWick was silent but her
memory was busy. She recalled how,
fifteen years before, her Aunt Betty,
with whom she had lived then, had
tried on her death-bed to tell her
niece something about letter. Now
it was all clear. Aunt Betty, thinking
David too inconstant and reckless to
make a good husband, had sent those
letters to keep Rosanna from what
she thought would be a wretched mar
rage!
Miss Pickerwick pondered in the
situation. Should she tell David the
truth? No! Wise and feminine to the
core, she determined to shield Aunt
Betty. She sat perfectly quiet, drop,
ped her lashes, a smile nicking the
corners of her mouth.
Don't you think, Rosanna, that
God has sent us to each other at
last?"
In the back parlor with No II
marked in white letters on the big
mahogany door, the younger lovers
waited for the return of Eugenie's
father
The hours crept along until it was
almost twilight, and still Eugenie's
father had not come.

Ralph. They have much to talk
ola whole lifetime since they've
seen each other"
Lets creep upstairs" said Euge-
ME. And they did, hand in hand But
outside Miss Pickerwick's door they
paused. First they heard a womans
voice speaking very softly
And do you remember, David that
day"
Then there came a murmur and a
low, happy laugh that Ralph could
hardly recognize as his elderly cous-
ms, Next a mans voice said:
And the night of the ball to the
Grand Duke Alexis-you wore white
with such a lot of roses. All, dearest,
don't you remember"
The boy and girl looked into each
others faces in a startled way. almost
with awe, as they stole away more
softly even than they had come On
the threshold Of No. II they paused.
and Ralph took his sweetheart's face
into the circles of his hands as he
looked into her eyes.
Sweetheart, may we love so-when
we are old"

THE COMPLAINING WHEEL

A farmer was one day taking to
market load of vegetables. The load
was heavy, and as the horses pulled
the wagon up a hill, the man heard
one Of the wheels grooming and com
planning.
1T isn't fair" said one Of the spokes.
"You other spokes are Sinking your
work. Just before l began to speak,
I was carrying the whole load. Why
don't you help?"
Pm carrying the whole load now"
said the spoke that was just then at
the bottom. "You have no more right
to complain than l have. Why don't
you do wour work, instead of scolding
at me-" It's your own fault"
ooh, dear" cried another spoke,
now it has come down on me and on
that great stone, too. If you let that
happen again, I shall get out of this
"O-oh!" groaned the first spoke,
when the wheel had made a few more
turns. "That was terrible blow that
got when we fell into that hole. If
you other spokes keep on Sinking, [
shall strike"
Il believe it's TIE felloe's fault
said the eighth spoke so far as I
can see, he isn't doing any work at
all"
81 don't care whose fault it u.s." caid
the third spoke. IF we strike a stone
again when | am at the bottom, | shall
get right out and let you others take
care Of yourselves"
THE felloe is jealous" said the sec
ond spoke, "and the rest Of you are
not much better. l never thought |
would have to work with such a lott
NONSENSE" said the felloe Il
can't help it. The tire is loose thing.
he is not helping at all
Then the farmer heard another
voice that was smooth and hard, and
he knew that one of the other wheels
was speaking.
IF you people don't stop your quar-
reling," said the other wheel, land
work together as we'll as you can, you
will let the whole load down 1t isn't
fo~ you to spoil it with your little
QuarrelS.
At that the complaining wheel
groaned more loudly than ever.
Well" said the other wheel, mo
good will come of it, 1t will be the
worse for you You will see"
''Ho. you people," said the farmer
to himself, II will attend to you"
Soon the wagon came to a village
and stopped before the shop of a.
wheelwright Take off that groaning
wheel" said the farmer, land put on
a new one"
So the wheelwright propped up one
end of the wagon and took off the
wheel that was the right size, and put
put it on in place of the old one.
.'Now," said the wheelwright, will
you take this old wheel with your
NO" said the farmer. 1T is bad
wheel. Break it IL pieces and burn it
in your fire"
Then he drove on with his load,
and all the wheels worked quietly and
happily together.
