sisters of the war era
survive. Like the leaders on the field , these

greatest battle of the war.
Wlillo thp great majority of the patients
were grateful to the sisters , a few were surly ,
but quint kindness conquered them. There-
was , however , a dangerous class of patients ,
some of whom labored under delirium or ex *
cltcment. Sister n. , ut Monioe , La , was shot
at by on unruly patient , the ball passim ;
through her cornetto ( white bonnet ) , within
an Inch or two of her forehead. Hut for llio

federates left Gottvsburg COO of their
wounded were gathered In the Trans } Ivnnla
college building. A sister found several of
the patients with guns leveled at a helplets
man. She hurried forward and screened him
from his assailants , pushing him toward the
surgeon's loom. When ho was safe the sis
ter placidly resumed her duties.
Presently the suigeon came to her and

"Well , " the sister replied calmly , "what

o resist a woman. "
"A woman ! " exclaimed the Burgeon ; "why
all the women In Gettvsburg could not have
Itected what you havo. No ono but a Sister
of Charity could have done this. "
In the Satterleo hospital at Philadelphia
n drunken patient struck a sister a trcmen-
doua blow and knocked her across the Iloor.
Ho was seized by convalescents and would
have been chokcn to death but for the Inter
cession of his victim , who begged , as a
favor to herself , that ho should not be pun

INCIDENTS IN MISSOURI.
Two chapters In this book are of local In
terest. Ono Is devoted to the St. Louis Mil
itary hospital and the other to Incidents of
the Colonel Mulligan cplsodo at Lexington ,
Mo. General Fremont established a mili
tary hospital ( House of Refuge ) In the
suburbs of St. Louis late In 1SG1 , and applied
to St. Phllomena's school for a sutllclent
number of sisters to toke charge oi It. Fre
mont promised to leave cverjthing to their
management. For three years they labored
there , and were treated with the greatest
respect. Every other day the women of the
Union Aid society visited the wards. Arch-
fa shop Kcnrlck was Interested In the work ,
and Father Burke was active throughout the
hospital. Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia
was then n priest , and until Ing In his labo-s
among the soldiers In St. Louis.
On September 3 , 1881 , six Sisters of Char
ity , escorted by Mother Francis , left Chicago
to minister to the Irish brigade under Colonel
Mulligan at Lexington , Mo At Jefferson
City they emlnrhcd on the steamer Sioux
City to cany them to their destination
Meantime the confederates occupied the town
of Glasgow , on the Missouri river , and also
the oppcelto bank , with COO Infantry and 1,00" )
cavalry. They opened fire upon the boit , but
though she was riddled In some parts she vv [ > a
turned and steamed back without Injury to
any ono on board. The sisters found a largo
field at the Jefferson Cltj hospital , and re
mained there until April , 1S62 , going then to
the field of Shlloh. They served for five
weeke on a hospital boat , carrying sick and
wounded soldiers from Shlloh to the upper
Mississippi. "If , " writes ono of the surviv

how to treat a woman with respect is him

I find no law authorizing the appoint

the services of chaplains are more needed ,

soldiers In the field. With this \\o\\ \ I havt

The Sisters of Charity had charge of the
Charity hospital In New Orleans and nt
tended many hundreds of the sick and
wounded of both armies. Jt was the same
with the Marino hospital of Now Orleans
Ono patient who had fcareti at first thax
ho would bo robbed was much struck by
Iho humility and chatity of the sisters , and
said :
The eoldlcrs wonder how the sisters can
work so hard without pay. "
The silstcr replied : "Our pay h In a coin
moro precious than gold ; It l.s laid up In a
country moro desirable than any on earth. "
A LESSON OF CHARITY.
Ono of the finest anecdotes In this \olume ,
whoso every page ls > touching and en
nobling , 13 a lesson of charity tint was
Impressed upon an army officer holding an
Important command , but not noted fot-
gcutlo traits. To this Irascible olllccr , sta
tioned In New Orleans at the. time , applied
a humble Sister of Charltj. The olllcef
turned sternly to nn orderly and said that
ho had given orders to admit no ono.
The sister , so runs this narrative , raised
a pair of sad , dark eyes to his face , aiu\ \
the gao was eo pure , so ealntljso full
of silent pleading , that the rough old soldier
WPS touched In splto of himself. Around
her fell the heavy muflllng dicss of her
order , which , however coarse and ungrace
ful , had something tstrangclj solemn and
mournful about It. Her hands , small ami
fair , were clasped almost suppllantly , ntuV
half hidden In the loose sleeves , as 1C
nfinld of their own trembling beauty ;
hands that had touched tenderly , lovingly ,
so many death-damp forehead's , that had
soothed so much pain.
The request was for Ice and beef at com
missary prices , and It was asked In the.
naiio of all human suffering wherever
found.
"Yes , jou can beg , I'll admit What do
jou do with all you beggings ? It Is al
ways more , more" " Never enough. "
With this the officer resumed writing. The
sister replied-
"What do wo do with our 'beggings ' ? Oh ,
that Is a hard question to ask of one whose
way of life leads over among the poor , the
sorrowing , the unfortunate , the most
wretched of mankind. Not on mo Is It
wasted. I stand here In my earthly all
What do wo < lo with It Ah , some day joti
may know. "
The s'ster turned to go , but the gencial
relented.
"There , madam , " ho said , after writing
for a moment , "Is jour order on the com.
ml&sary for Ice and beef at army terirn ,
good for three months. I do It for the
sake of the union fcoldlers who are or rmj
bo In your care. Don't conic bothering me
again. Good morning. "
LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE.
In less than three weeks afterward thh
olllrer was badly wounded In the Red ilvcr
campaign and was sent back to New Orleans
in an unconscious condition. At length bo
was nursed back to life , though hopelessly
mutilated. When icason returned he opened
his cjes and looked Intently at the sister neir
his bed. Then ho said : "Did j-ou get the
ice and beef" The sister started , the ques
tion was BO direct and uncHioctcd.
"Yes , " she replied , simply , but with a kind
glance of the sc ft , sad ejcs , that spoke elo
quently her thanks. "And jour name Is "
"Sihter Frances. "
"Well , then , Slbter Frances , I am glad you
got the th'ags glad I gave you the ordei. I
think I know now what jou do with joui
beggings , your charity , your religion , and I
hope to be the better for the knowledge. I
ovvo you a debt I oan never icpay , but jou
will endeavor to believe that I am deeply
grateful for all jour goodness and ceaseless
care. "
The sister made a pious reply , withdrew
and ho saw her no more. Two months after
ho received letter , ont to the cvuo
of tlio mother nupcrlor , cndojinR chock for
11.000. At the Mlno ttmd the oulccr txik
occasion to remark that ho wished tie were
* blo to nmko it twuo the amount , since ho
know by experience "nh.at they did with
their beggings "

The husbands of sick , nervous , irritable wives need sympathy. There isn't much
pleasure in life for them. But in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred sickly
women can be well and strong and happy again. A husband can bring his wife
back to health. She may not think she will ever be better , but if he will get her
some Wine of Cardui , explain what it has done and urge her to take it , she will
soon feel like a different person. Every husband whose wife suffers from backache ,
headache , bearing-down pains , whites or disordered menstruation , should QO that.
Wine of Cardui seldom fails to effect a complete ,
