THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident Of Sacrifice on the
Altar Of Her Country's Need.

One of the touching incidents of
General Lyons march to Wilson creek
was that of Tennessee mother bring
ing her little boy to the captains tent
and Offering him for the service of his
country. The boys father had been
killed in battle and the mother and
boy were alone in the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing of the
little chap, for he was scarcely thir-
teen years of nge, caught the eye or
the captain and he asked what the
boy could do. II can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself to his full
height. And he could as the tifcr
soon found out MS he played ''rhe
Flowers of marlborough" Il most diff
flcult piece to follow with the drum.
MADAM, I'll take the boy" said the
captain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said:
"Bring him back, captain" and to the
hoy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, God bless
you, my boy. You're MI I have left,
but I give you to my country, and
drum right hravcly for the boys in
blue" During the heavy fatiguinS
marches from Rolla to Springfield it
was amusing to see the long-leggcd
fifer wading through the mud with our
little drummer hero mounted on his
back. During the fight at Wilson
creek the CHEEKY fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys in bat
tie. The fight led down into deep
ravine and it was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst of the
fray. That night the detail on guard
duty near the ravine thought he
heard family the sound of Il drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
20 in search of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against tree
and his faithful drum hanging on
bush. He dropped his drum sticks ns
the guard came up and exclaimed:
"Oh, corporal I am so glad to see you.
Give me drink" and as he turned to
go to get him water, he pleaded: "Oh,
don't 90 and leave me. / can't walk
His little legs had been shot off at
the knees. Looking closer he discOv-
cred dead soldier lying in the grass,
but evidently before he died he had
put tOurniQuet about the stumps of
the little legs. The brave lad was
carried into camp and given surgical
attention, but the brave little spirit
went out into the brightness and glory
of a duty well done and country
served even unto death.

Let our object be our country, our
whole country, and nothing but our
country.
If we are true to our country in our
day and generation, and those who
come after us shall be true to 1t also,
assuredly we shall elevate her to a
pitch of prosperity and happiness, Of
honor and power never yet reached by
any nation beneath the sun.

GERMAN PEOPLE
ARE GRUMBL|NG
ARE DISSATISFIED WITH POLITi-
CAL RESULTS OF RUTH
LESS CAMPAIGN.

Copenhagen, June 2.-Private ad-
vices from Germany tell of growing
dissatisfaction among the people with
the political results of the ruthless
submarine campaign and the absence
of any indications that the campaign
will bring the desired peace to hand.
The advocates of the unrestricted
submarine policy made definite prom
ises that in "two or three months it
would bring Great Britain to her
knees and that France had been "bled
white" The situation is producing
grumblings, because neither country
shows signs of weakening. The en-
try of the United States into the war
is now taken seriously and is regard
ed with gloom.
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, the German
foreign minister, is quoted as saying,
a few hours before the rupture with
the United States, that IF America
will only keep her hands off and let
us alone, two or three more months
will be enough"

The pay and allowances are exactly

essential and important and men OF
