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 La the world. The
little chap, for he was scarcely thir-
teen years of age, 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 fifer
soon found out as he played ''The
Flowers of Marlborough" a most diff
ficult 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
boy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, God bless
you, my boy. You're all I have left,
but l give you to my country. and
drum right bravely for the boys in
blue" During the heavy fatiguing
marches from Rolla to Springfield it
was amusing to see the long-legged
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 a 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 drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came he asked permission to
40 in search Of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound of the dram
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against q tree
md his faithful drum hanging on q
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
lhe guard came UP and exclaimed:
"Oh corporal, an so glad to see you.
Give me q drink" and as he turned to
go to get him water, he pleaded: "Oh,
don't go and leave me. l can't walk"
His little legs had been shot off ut
the knees. Looking closer he disoov-
cred a dead soldier lying In the grass,
out 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 a country
served even unto death.
