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.” —Exchange. 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 . The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland.

The sec tions hands appeared on the scene and ordered the robber to surren der, as they thought him to be the 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.

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.” A Valuable Prescription.

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 LOCAL SCHEDULE. = CHATTANOOGA, ROME & COLUMBUS RAILROAD .= EUGENE E.

HORNE., Prop. 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 - .
