A Touch of Human Nature Amid the
Horrors of War.
Out of tho midst of the bloody hor
rors of tho battle of Fredericksburg
comes a sweet and touching Incident
which goes to provo that tho rngc of
battlo cunnot obliterate tho tenderness
dwelling In tho hearts of men. Tho
story Is taken from Major Robert
Stiles' "Four Years Under Massa Rob
ert" Tho Federal army wns entering
tho town, shot was flying In all direc
tions, ana Buck, a Confcdcrato sol
dier, was peering round tho corner of
a house.
A llttlo three-ycnr-old, fair haired
baby girl toddled out of tho alley, ac
companied by n Newfoundland dog,
and In tho midst of tho hissing shells
chased a cannon ball down tho street
Buck grounded hid gun, dashed out
Into tho storm nnd swung his great
right arm round tho buby. Then ho
ran after his company, tho llttlo one
clasped to his breast.
Tho company took reftigo behind tho
etono wall which has now become his
toric, nnd there for hours and days of
terror tho baby was kept. Florco
nurses took turns In petting her whilo
tho Htonn of battlo raged and shriek
ed. Never was a baby so cared for,
and Hcouts scoured tho countrysido to
get her milk.
When tho Btrugglo wns over nnd the
Federal nrmy had left tho company
behind tho wall received tho post of
honor In tho van to lend tho column
Into tho town, nuck stood about In
the mlddlo of thu regiment, tho baby
In his arms. Thcro was a long halt
and tho brlgado staff hurried to nnd fro.
Tho regimental colors wcro not to bo
found. .
Suddenly Buck Bprnng to tho front
no swung aloft tho baby girl, hor lit
tle garments fluttering llko tho folds
of n banner, nnd shouted:
"Forward, men of tho Twenty-first!
Ilero nro our colorsi"
Off started tho brlgado, cheering
lustily.

SHIRKING JAIL WORK.
Bldwell, tho Forger, Was a Champion
at Malingering.
Malingering Is common In jail, but
surely n caso quoted from his own ex
perience by Dr. Qulnton, tho Into gov
ernor of Hollowny, In "Crlmo and
Criminals" Is a record. Tho "hero"
was n violent prisoner who feigned
HtlffncsB of tho Index finger to avoid
oakum picking. IIo wns bo angry
when tho linger wns forcibly bent
that "on returning to his cell ho
promptly placed tho offending finger
In tho hinges of his table, which wns
attached to tho coll wnll, nnd violently
raised tho leaf, with tho result that
tho finger wns absolutely shattered
and bad to bo romoved."
Another caso oven moro romarkablo
in Its way was that of the notorious
American criminal Bldwell, who wob
sontenced to penal scrvltudo for llfo
In connection with tho Bank of Eng
land forgeries.
"IIo wns In good health on convic
tion, but never did any nctlvo work.
Feigning loss of powor In his legs, ho
lay In bed from day to day and from
year to year, uofylng all efforts or
pcrRiinslon and resisting nil unpleasant
coorclvo measures devised to inako blm
work. When 1 saw him at Dartmoor nt
tho chid of eight or nlno years of his sen
tent-o long UIhuso of Ills legs had ren
dcrcd him almost a cripple. The inus
elos wero extremely wasted, nnd both

Different From a Mountain.
1 certain Philadelphia!! who Is at
ce u minister of tho gospel and a
lstered physician had an amusing
Ixpcrlcnco in his attempt to corner a
Christian Scientist Every tlmo thoy
met this Scientist took occasion to
scoff at medical sclcnco and to dwell
upon tho wonders that could bo per
formed through faith.
"You aro convinced that through
faith you can do anything," said tho
medical man one day.
"Yes," he replied; "faith will inovo
mountains."
A week later ho wns In tho doctor's
ofllco with n swollen Jnw, duo to tooth
ache.
"What, you hero?" tho doctor ex
claimed, with feigned astonishment.
"Oh, doctor," ho said, "I havo suf
fered agouy all through tho night. 1
simply can't stand this pain nuy
longer!"
"Have you tried faith?" tho physi
cian asked him. "You know you told
mo faith could more mountains."
"But this Is a cavity, doctor."
