WHEN sToNEwALL JACKSON
SAVED THE LIFE OF WILLIAM
MCKINLEY.
From The Atlanta Journal. Wednes-
day Evening. September %, 1901.

one Of General Stonewall Jackson's
brave men raised his gun to fire at
a Union soldier. who stood Just OPP
posite the creek. As he was about
to fire. General Jackson said: "Stop,
lower your gun. / have watched
that boy all day. He is too brave to
be killed" The boy in blue was our
late president, VIM. Mckinley, then
only seventeen years of age. Those
words were an eternal tribute to
Stonewall Jackson, and were indica-
tive of the regard he had for cour-
age, even in his enemies"
This, | believe. is a perfectly true
account of the saving of The Life of
President VIM. Mckinley by General
Stonewall jackson. In concluding
these articles on MY Hero, | COM
mend to my home people the reading
of the following books written about
the Great General.
