THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL

Touching Incident of Sacrifice on th.
Altar of Her Country’s Need.
O |
One of the touching incidents of
General Lyons’ march to Wilson creek'
was that of a Tennessee mother bring
ing her little boy to the captain’s tent ’
and offering him for the Service of his
country. The boy's father had been
filled In battle and the mother and
boy were Jilone lij ths world. TJie |
bright eyes arid alert bearing of the
little chap, for he was scarcely thir
teen years of age, caught the eye of
the captain and he asTed what the
boy could do. ‘‘l can drum,” he said
proudly stretching hintself to his full!
height. And he could as the flfer |
soon found out as he played ‘‘The
Flowers of Edinborough,” a most dif
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 I give you to my country, and j

marches from Rolla to Springfield it j
was amusing to see the long-legged i
fifer wading through the mud with our ]
little drummer hero mounted on his I
back. During the fight at Wilson .
creek the cheery fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys In bat
tle. 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
hoard faintly the sound of a drum. He
listened in the moonlight and when
the relief came ho asked permission to
go in search of the little drummer lad.
He followed the sound of the drum
and soon fbund our hero Seated on the
ground with his back against a tree
and his faithful drum hanging on a
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed:
"Oh, corporal, I am so glad to see you.
Give me a drink,” and as he turned to
go get him water, he pleaded : “Oh.
don’t go and leave me. I ean't walk.”
His little legs had been shot off at
the knees. Looking closer he discov
ered a dead soldier lying in the grass,
but evidently before he died he had
put a 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.

And faithfully obeyed.
Thy honor ne’er betrayed—

1 ‘LIBERTY BONOS’
ATLANTA, iGa.. June 4. —Splendid
reports are coming from those cities
and towns in this federal reserve dis
trict where committees are organized
and at work upon the sale of Liberty
i Bonds. Where there are no commit-
I tecs at work, no work is being done
and nothing is being accomplished.
The Liberty Loan central committee
j finds that about half the district is
'thoroughly aroused and hard at work
i while in other sections there is appar
ent apathy! The committee says it
means many communities in the dis
trict have not yet awakened to a reali
sation of the fact that the United States
lis at war with Gerfmany.
Joseph A. McCord, of the federal re
serve bank, which is acting as fiscal
agent for the sale of the Liberty Bonds
iu this district, said:
“From many sections of the district
we have already received good sub
scriptions to the Liberty Bonds. In
others, nothing at all has been done. It
lis dufflcult to understand the reason
for this. Practically every community
in the north and east is thoroughly
aroused and many of them have al
ready over-subscribed their quotas of
the loan far in advance of the closing
of the campaign. We are doing well
where we are at work. Elsewhere we
are getting no results. If this district
proposes to do its part it is essential
• that every community get busy. If any
i information or assistance is needed, it
i is only necessary to apply to us here
land it will be promptly given.”
Those communities which would like
I to have speakers come and explain t >
them the Liberty Bond issue and tell
' them the reasons why it is necessary
that everybody should participate in it,
may secure such speakers by corres
ponding with the Speakers’ Bureau, P.
|C McDuffie, federal reserve bank, At
lanta. Ga. A number of communities
have already applied for speakers and
arrangements hav|t -been made to
have brief 3 to 4 minute speeches made
in a large number of theatres and
moving picture houses all over the dis
trict. This plan has already been in
augurated in Atlanta and several other
cities.
The central committee makes the
special request cf merchants and busi

lowing postscript to every letter t.liey
send out:
“P. S.: Have you subscribed to the
Liberty Loan?”
Many merchants over the district
have already agreed to do this, and it
is expected that hundreds of others
will lend this important assistance.
The Liberty Loan central committee
has just received from Washington
headquarters 85,000 handsome posters
in red. white and blue, which are ready
lor distribution all over the district.
It is especially requested that all
merchants, storekeepers and others
who can use one or more of these post
ers in their windows where they will
be prominently noticed, will send for
them to St. Elmo Massengale at the
federal reserve bank in the Hurt build
ing, Atlanta, Ga. He will be glad to
furnish any that are desired.
There are four different posters. On
one of them appears the statue of lib
erty in blue with the following word
iyg; “If you can’t enlist invest. Buy-
Liberty Bonds. See your bank today.”
On another poster appears the statue
of liberty in brown and black on an in
tense blue background with the word
ing: “Have you bought your bond’.'
Liberty Loan subt-criptions received
here.” These are especially designed
for use in banks.
On another of the posters appears the
liberty statue holding her light aloft-

The fourth and largest of these post
ers is worded as follows: “Make your

do the rest.”
