we could tear The skirmishers snap. ped at us as we came, and then away they bolted like corn-crakes, their heads down, their backs rounded, and their muskets at the trail. Half of them got away, but we caught up the others, the officer first, for he was very fat man who could not run fast. It gave me quite turn when I saw Rob Stewart on my right stick his bayonet into the mans broad back and heard him howl like lost soul. There was no quarter in that field, and it was butt or point for all of them. The mems blood was afame, and little won- der, for those wasps had been sting ing all morning without our being able so much as see them.
 And now, as we broke through the farther edge of the cornf1eld we got in front of the smoke, and there was the whole French army in position be fore us, with only two meadows and a narrow lane between us. We set up yell as we saw them, and away we should have gone, slap at them, if we had been left to ourselves, for silly young soldiers never think that harm can come to them until it is there in their midst. But the Duke had can tered his horse beside us as we ad- vanced. and now he roared something to the general, and the officers all rode in front of our line, holding out their arms for us to stop. There was a blowing of bugles, a pushing and a showing, with the sergeants cursing and digging us with their halberts, and in less time than it takes me to write it there was the brigade in three neat little squares. all bristling with bayonets and in echelon, as they call 1t, so that each could fire across the face of the other.
 It was the saving of us, as even so young soldier as I was could very easily see. And we had none too much time, either. There was low, rolling hill on our right flank, and from behind this there came sound like nothing on this earth so much as the beat of the waves on Berwick coast when the wind blows from the east. The earth was all shaking with that dull, roaring sound. and the air was full of it. Steady, Seventy first, for Gods sake, steady!" shrieked the voice of our colonel behind us, but in front was nothing but the green, gen. tie slope of the grassland, all mottled with daisies and dandelion.
 And then suddenly, over the curve, we saw eight hundred brass helmets rise up, all in a moment. each with a long tag of horsehair flying from it's crest, and then eight hundred fierce brown faces, all pushed forward, and glaring out from between the ears of as many horses. There was an instant of gleaming breast-plates, waving swords, tossing names, fierce red nos trils opening and shutting, and hoofs paving the air before us, and then down came the line of muskets, and our bullets smacked up against their armor like the chatter of a hailstorm upon window. fired with the rest, and then rammed down another charge l as fast as could, staring out through 1 the smoke in front of me. where I | could see some long. thin thing, which | flapped slowly backward and for ward. A bugle sounded far us to cease firing, and a whfff of wind came to clear the curtain from in front of r us, and then we could see what had happened.

RECORDS HIS WILL
 ON TALKING MACHINE
Des Moines, Iowa, Man Makes Will Which He Says Cannot Be
 Tempered With.

ld"pero0 "1th.
 Des Moines, Ia., July 2s.-what he says he believes to be a fraud proof will has been made and filed in the office of the clerk of Polk county, Iowa, by Theodore Mantz. a Des Moines lawyer. MT. Mantz die tated his will into a talking machine e and had it recorded in wax.
 At the end of the dictation, C. H. Miller, a lawyer. and H. w. Brandt, a court reporter, testified into the ma chine they were witnesses to the making of the will, and spelled their names in full as the witnesses. The record then was put on a machine and reproduced the voices. Being pronouneed correct by MT. Mantz, he took it to the clerks office, had the box containing it sealed in wax and filed.
 MT. Mantz has instructed Mrs. Mantz to take the case to the highest court of the country if the validity of the will should be questioned.
 The will on record is believed by its maker to be the first of its kind in the country. Lawyers say 8 pos sible objection to wills on talking ma chine records is an Iowa statute which says conveyances of property worth more than s200 must be in writing. Mandz says he will go before the next session of the Iowa legislature and en- deavor to get bill through which will Iegalize spoken wills when record ed as his is.
 Mantz says he believes the future will see greater uses of talking ma chimes and records, and in his opin- ion it would be much more difficult to tamper with spoken will than a written one.

WILL NOT SUMMON
 SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Sees No Special Emergency in Present Rent Situation,
 He Declares.
He Declares.

Hartford. July 2s.---No emergency exists in the present situation of rent profiteerins and if a need exists to correct by law excessive rents such laws can be enacted at the next ses- sion Of the General Assembly. Is the rist of Governor Hoicomb's reply to the municipal rent commission which on Monday presented to him a peti- ton signed by about 5000 persons asking him to call a special session of the legislature to curb rent prof. teering. The governors reply sent to John !. Coleman, chairman of the commission is in part as follows:
 1T have examined the petitions left with me on Monday by yourself and your associate from New Britain. which requested me to call a special session of the General Assembly to consider the alleged rent profteering by certain landlords in this state. do not doubt that excessive rents are charged by some landlords. Profiteer- ing existed at and before the last General Assembly was in session. There was no special emergency per taininE Co rent charges.
 There has been a large increase in the price charged for all food products. Some increase in the price of rent must be expected. If the in- crease is out of proportion to the increase which would naturally re- suit from modern conditions it can be considered six months from now by the General Assembly at the reg ular session. sec no reason for calling the present General Assembly into session to consider it.
