!N AN IDLE HOUR.
A boy with t; rifle and cartridge
box got on the car the other morn
ing. “Fall in according to height,
light face!” facetiously remarked
a man who ute to drill on the uni.
versity campuu. “Fall in?” said a
middle-aged man with a gruff
■ voice. “I never want to ‘fall in’
again. I would rather fall out ev-
I ery time.”
I could not help contrasting the
boy and the veteran. Here was
the rosy anticipation of youth side
■by side with prosaic, pessimistic
and ba 1 tie-scarred experience.
I The veteran seemed to be very
much in earnest and I concluded
to draw him out.
“That’s very nice for the boys,”
said he, “but war is horrible. The
more I saw of it the worse it got.
A boy of 18 goes into battle with
fewer qualms than a man of 30
who realizes the danger, and it
I takes less grit for fresh troops to
stand fire than it does to keep
them there after they have seen
men shot down and mangled. In
my first battle, I was without fear
at the first fire. Pretty soon a
comrade fell over on my breast
j the blood gushing from a mortal
| wound and spattering all over me,
That made me weak. I wanted to
get out. Awhile afterward a ser
geant near me was struck on the
j head by a solid shot. His brother
close by was spattered with the
pr-or fellow’s brains and some of
them spattered me. Ugh ! It was
horrible. I turned sick and faint.”
I did not wonder that he didn’t
want to fall in any more. But
this was not all of it.
“When you hear a man describe
a battle,” said he, “you may put it
down that he wasn’t in it. It is
impossible. After a little while
you can’t see 20 feet from you.
You can’t tell whether your gun
is firing. The roar of battle drowns
a single report, even from your
own gun. The rebound makes
your shoulder si numb that you
can’t feel it. Our guns were muz
zle-loaders and sometimes they
were half full of loads. The sol
dier didn't know his gun had re
fused to fire.
“Talk about manual of arms and
beautiful company movements,”
said he, “they don’t amount to the
snap of my finger in battle. All
you can do is to keep somewhere
in line and keep on firing. You
can’t see far and you can’t hear
anything but the awful roar of
battle. If a move is to be made
you get notice of it by motions, or
by seeing the men near you mov
ing out, and you get out as quick
as you can.
“This talk about a general lead
ing his men in battle is all none
sense. If the men saw a general
in front of them they wouldn’t stay
a minute. They would know some
thing was wrong. The general has
his headquarters away back per-
I haps a mile or two, and there his
flag is flying. He must have a
! place where he can be found, like
the mayor of a city. Else it would
be impossible to get orders when a
flank is turned. I have been in
many a battle and never saw a
general yet. I have seen brigadier
generals, but not a division or
corps commander, or the general
of an army. They are away back
in the rear, where they ought to
be.”
The veteran had a personal ex
perience to ielat'l. He was on the
Federal side, and was one of those
whc. charged the Confederates in
the confusion immediately follow
ing the exp'osion of the mine un
der the fort at Petersburg. His
account of the sensation of being
shot is ; n interesting one. “A
sheet of fire shot out from the op
posite line,” said he, “and five of
us fell forward at the same instant.
It was a rain cf bullets that cut us
down. I was s-iot in my leg, in
my arm and in my head. I didn’t
know that I was shot, and thought
that I had fallen down through :
the weakness of excitement. I was
numb, for the bullets struck the
bone and paralyzed me, but I did
not lose my senses. The wounds
did not pain me at first. In the
course of a half hour, when the ex-1
;citement had" worn off, my wounds
; began to hurt. I did not know
that my leg was shot till I saw the
blood running out over my shoe.
A comrade who was badly wound
ed tied a handkerchief around my
leg and stopped the flow of blood.
But for that I would have died.
While I lay there another shot
struck me in the side. It. was two
or three hours before help came,
I suffered great pain, I wanted wa
. ter and I was deathly sick. It was
:a year after the war before I got
well, and I carry a minnie b-dl in
my side to this day.”
I thought he had given me e
ncugh for a full realization of the
horrors of war, but he had eno
’ more picture, more moving still.
) “The night before I was shot,”
. said he, “I went on the field and
i saw those poor devils lying there.
A boy of 18 was crying for his
;! mother. Oh, the pity of it! Then
> I realized that every man there
> was somebody’s son or brother.
God protect us from another war P’
He stepped off the electric car
briskly and walked to his daily
1 round of business in the Equitable
' building. The lad, who had not
heard this conversation, went on
’ to school with his rifle and Ins car
* tridge box. Thon I thought of the
scenes on the field of the first Ma
nassas, where the flower of the
Eighth Georgia lay weltering in
blood as the sun went down, and I
wondered if this boy was a son or
’ a grandson of one of those men I
thought of the time within my own
recollection when black was the
‘ prevailing color in the dress of
women, and hardship the lot of
the average youth. It has been
30 years since that time and you
hear boys and fools talk of war as
a thing for the country. God
' grant that they may never know
the meaning of Pope’s line:
“Man’s inhumanity to man, makes
countless millions mourn.”

How to Cure a Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the edit' r was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most misera
ble condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recog
nizing it as dangerous he took im
mediate steps to bring about
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, we
concluded to make a first trial of'
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. It
acted like magic and the result was
a speedy and permanent cure .

A robber who had just been re
leased from custody, held up Sec
tion Boss Creekmore near Shannon
in Floyd county Friday. The sec
tions hands appeared on the scene
and ordered the robber to surren

murderer of Gideon Pope. The
robber was armed with a double
[ barrel shotgun and two pistols, but
seeing that the track men were fl
bout to capture him he started to
run. He was fired upon, and he
returned the fire, one of the section
men receiving a slight wound. The
crowd then opened a fusnade on
the fugitive, shooting him in the
■ right hand. He raised his gun and
emptied both barrels on his pursu
ers, then dropped the weapon and
renewed his flight. A dozen shots
were exchanged. Runners were
sent to Rome, and a posse with
bloodhounds chased the man until
midnight. It is thought that 1 e

WIDOWS’ WILES THEIR WOE |
Unique Petition to Governor by
Matrimonially Inclined Maidens.
Sixteen of the marriageable girls
of Charleston, S . C , presented the
following petition to the governor
of the state in 1733: “The hum
ble petition of all the maids whose
names are underwritten: Where
as, we, the humble petitioners, are
at present in a very melancholy
disposition of mind, considering
how all the bachelors are blindly
captivated by widows and our own
youthful chances thereby neglected
the consequence of this, our re
quest, is that your excellency will
for the future order that no widow
presume to marry any young man
till the maids are provided for; or
else to pay each or them a fine to
be laid on all such bachelors as
shall be married to widows. The
great disadvantage it is to us maids
is that the widows by their forward
carriage, do snap up the young
men, and have the vanity to think
their merit beyond ours, which is
a great imposition on us, who ought
to have the preference. This is
humbly recommended to your ex
cellency’s consideration, and hope
you will permit no further insults
And we, poor maids, in duty bound
will ever pray.”

REV. WILLIAM TTTCKER, PIERCEVILLE, INDIANA.
It was publicly talked all over Decatur
and Ripley counties for some time before the
New Era sent a reporter to Pierceville to
fully investigate the Tucker matter. The
Tuckers are prominent people and are all
well-to-do farmers. The Rev. William
Tucker, subject of all the talk, was pleased
to allow us an interview. Mr. Tucker
looked well and healthy, although he is
seventy-five years old, and forty years ago
he began preaching in the faith of the Free
Baptists. This is his story as he told the
reporter:
“ I was bom and reared on a farm and be
gan preaching at an early age. I was al
ways subject to rheumatism, even when
quite young. Pains, sharp and acute, would
shoot across my body, causing me much suf
fering. The doctors pronounced it then a
spinal disease. The pains kept getting worse
all the time from day to day as the years
rolled round, and I experienced many years
suffering.
“ Although I much regretted to, I was
compelled to retire altogether from my
work in the religious cause. The pains
would first start from my spine and limbs,
but afterward begun shooting from all parts
of the body and it seemed as though a thous
and knives were sticking me. After these
pains would first come on, my entire body
would suddenly grow cold, I would be numb
all over and all my muscles would be asleep.
I would then turn suddenly blind. I often
lay in this condition for hours, and generally
I was conscious and knew what was going
on, but the suffering was intense and un
bearable, No words can describe it.
“ Frequently, in going about my place or
when I would be away from home, these

spells would come on me and for some time
1 would be entirely blind and my mind
would be affected. My family was uneasy
and feared my mind would become impaired.
I consulted several physicians at Greens
burg, but they said my case was hopeless, as
the disease was incurable. I went to other
cities for treatment. A prominent doctor of
Toledo, Ohio, dismissed me as incurable and
I gave up in despair. 1 tried many patent
medicines but none of them did the least
good. Finally I saw in the New Era an
article about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I
had no faith in them, for nothing did me any
good but I tried them as a last resort. The
first box helped me at once and 1 kept on
talcing them. I began taking them in May,
’94. I have taken’over a dozen boxes now
and I feel perfectly well in every respect and
feel that I am permanently cured. I could
never sleep before, as the pains would corue
suddenly on mein the night and I would
become numb. Many a time I’ve walked
the floor in agony the entire night. I can
sleep perfectly sound now, and ray appetite
is better than ever before, and I weigh more
than for many years. I feel that I owe my
life to the Pink Pills.”
Rev. Tucker assured us flint we need not
doubt a word of his testimony for his family
will vie with him in every word he spoke.
Di - . Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are sold in boxes (never in
loose form, by the dozen or hundred) at O
cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and may
be had of all druggists or directly by mail
