To be a successful wife , to
retain the love and admiration
of her husband should be a
woman's constant study. If
she would be all that she may ,
I she must guard well against the
signs of ill health. Mrs. Brown
fells her story for the benefit of
all wives and mothers.
" DEAR MRS. PJNKITAM : I/ydla E.
Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound
will make every mother well , strong- ,
healthy and happy. I dragged through
nine years of miserable existence , worn
out with pain and weariness. I then
noticed a statement of a woman
troubled as I was ; and the wonderful
results she had had from your Vege
table Compound , and decided to try
what it would do for me , and used it for
three months. At the end of that
time , I was a different woman , the
neighbors remarked it , and my hus
band fell in love with me all over
again. It seemed like a new existence.
I had been suffering- with inflamma
tion and falling1 of the womb , but your
medicine cured that , and built up my
entire system , till I was indeed like a
new woman. Sincerely yours , MES.

"Some of the boys , " said Dan R.
A.nderson , "want to know why I
lidn't say more about the Resaca am
munition story at the time , and why
I waited forty years to put the inci-
! ent on record. I said little or noth
ing to the men of the company at the
lime because the doing of the thing
lid not seem to me then as remark-
Ible , and because just at that time
my younger brother , Eli S. Anderson ,
Ivas very sick and was quartered in
in old building not far from the rail-
t\ray station , used as a hospital and
lurgeon's headquarters , ' and I Avas
tmrsing him.
"Taking care of him kept me busy
Ind away from the company. I felt
then that my brother could not live
tnany weeks , and I was so absorbed
In the work of getting him home to
lee the good mother that I forgot all
ibout the fire incident. In a few
\reeks our regiment was ordered
tforth for discharge , and after a re-
: eption at Cincinnati we were ] uar-
; ered at Newport barracks await'n : ?
discharge. There was delay about dis-
iharges , and payrolls , and I fretted a
good deal about that sick brother.
Dne day I met on the streets Coat < s
! \inney , the man who wrote 'Ruin on
the Roof. ' Mr. Kinney had been an
Jld neighbor of mine before the war ,
ind he found a way to help me.
"When I explained the circum
stances he asked why I didn't jro
home. I answered that I was wait
ing for my discharge papers , and my
pay. He said that being a paymaster
he could help me , as he knew the dis
charges for the men of our regiment
were ready , and that the payrolls
had been approved. He went with
me to the paymaster's office , where he
Touched for me , secured my discharge
and pay , and started me on my home
ward way with the remark , 'You are
the first man to receive a discharge
for a full three years' service in the
Western army. '
"I went at once to my brother , and
thanks to Coates Kinney we were
* eon at home. My brother lived until
1S75 and Mr. Kinney was buried re
cently at my old home town , Waynes-
rille , Ohio. Every time I hear the
; ain on the roof or against the win-
flows , I think of his kindness to the
soldiers in 1804. This explains how I
was carried away from the men of
toy own company , and , as to making
; record of the affair , I was disin
clined to do that because it might
seem like boasting for me to tell the
Story myself. But longing to hear
! rora the real hero of the occasion ,
the officer who led the way into the
crater , got the better of me and I told
the story. Like Lieutenant Gruff. I
nm pretty well worn out , but I am
not ashamed of what the of us did at
Ilesaca in May , 1804. "
"I know how Comrade Anderson
felt , " said Peter Miller of Company
C , Ninety-second Ohio. "At the
charge up Missionary Ridge , William
Croy , John McVey and myself cap
tured a battery , and there is no rea
son in the world why we should not
iiave received credit for the capture.
When we three men of our company
climbed over the rebel works there
were only three men with the battery
that had been blazing aAvay at us. All
of the three were swearing at their
comrades for running away. I ; = aid
[ ocularly : 'Swearing is all right , but
It cuts no ice. Why don't you turn
your guns and shoot the other way ?
You have been shooting at us long
enough. '
"Greatly to our surprise , the rebel
artillery men promptly turned one of
the guns the other way and fiml sev
eral shots as rapidly as they could
oad. The guns were brass twelve-
pounders , and on one was inscribed
Lady Bragg , and on another Lady
Breckinridge. The battery was to the
eft of General Bragg's headquarters ,
ooking from our side of the line , oren
on the right from the rebel side of
the works. The battery was almost
directly In front of Fort Wood , and
remember shells thrown from Fort
Wood burst over our heads when we
were quite near the rebel works. My
regiment , the Ninety-second Ohio ,
was in Tnrchin's brigade of Reynolds'
flivisiorf.
"P am thus particular about local
ity , regiment , and brigade , because ,
n the history of the battle , it is
stated that 'General Thomas' jQacJ&
charged to the top of the iifige , cap
turing a rebel battery , and turned the
guns on the retreating foe. ' Now , the
truth is that battery was captured by
Peter Miller , William Croy and John
McVey of Company G , Ninety-second
Ohio , and the guns were turned on
the retreating foe by the enraged
rebel artillerymen captured by us. I
flo not tell this story in boastful spirit ,
hut as a remarkable incident in a re
markable battle , and because I be
lieved that Croy and McVey , to say
nothing of myself , ought to have
credit for what they did that day. "
"The Ninety-second Ohio , " said the
Major , "made a splendid record at
Missionary Ridge. In twenty minutes
it lost one-third of its officers and 10
per cent of the men engaged. The
regiment as a regiment was given
credit for capturing the two guns
near Bragg's headquarters , and for
doubling up the rebel line and start
ing the panic which General Bragg
complained of in his report The
Ninety-second was one of the few
regiments that went into a fight be
fore the men were mustered. It
served in West Virginia under Crook
and in the West under Crook and
Turchin , was with the latter at
Chickamauga , and went with Sher
man on the march to the sea and
through the Carolinas , and was not
mustered out until June 19 , 1805. "
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Jake's Horse.
The fellows in the old Union army
who had the most fun with horses , "
said an old cavalryman to a reporter
of the Chicago Inter Ocean , "were
those in regiments of mounted infan
try. When they were first mounted
they were expected to ride only from
one place to another , and to do theirt
fighting on foot. " j
In the distribution of the horses to a
certain regiment a little , short-legged
German secured the largest horse in
the drove. He selected his mount for
its size , thinking little of his own con
venience in the matter , and it was
amusing to see Jake fluttering about
the great beast.
One morning the boys were ordered
to bring their horses out and get ready
for a march. Jake was troubled when
all were ordered to dismount for in
structions. He was more troubled over
the order , "Prepare to mount ! "
If he had stood on a chair he could
pot have reached the stirrup with his
foot. Nevertheless , he was equal to
the emergency. He ran back a few
steps , picked up a board , placed one
end on the ground and theother on the
horse , and crawled up.
This performance was greeted with
a roar of cheers and laughs. But Jake
was in his seat as soon as many others
who had skittish horses.
"What do you mean , sir , " questioned
the officer , "by that kind of perform
ance ? "
"Veil , you say , 'Prepare to mount1 !
and I makes mine preparations. I can
no step upstairs on mine horse mit one
step. "
When there was a skirmish two men
assisted Joke to mount , and he was
generally away with the rest ; but on
one occasion he dropped his gun. as
the astonishing gallop of the old horse
demanded his full attention , and the
men , seeing the little fellow tumble off ,
thought he had been shot.
Jake was given up for lost but a
short time afterward up came the big
horse at a furious gallop , with Jake
hanging on to his neck. The men
cheered and laughed , stopped the horse
and assisted Jake into his saddle. Once
in his seat , Jake said :
"Ven dere vas no time to make my
preparations to mount , it vas uncon-
venient a little ; but mine big horse
vas a goer , and dat vas mighty conven
ient for me ven I vas been chased by
the Johnnies. So egshuse me if I not
trade mine big horse. "
He Be'camc a Hero.
Some "ex-Confederates" were swap
ping war stories recently , when one
of them told the following , which con
veys a wholesome lesson against hasty
judgment.
Just before the battle of Murfrees-
bore a detachment of Morgan's com
mand was guarding a mountain pass
a few miles from Bradyville , Tenn.
A portion of the valley leading to the
pass was densely wooded and swampy.
The marshy ground abounded in bull
frogs of huge proportions , and the
trees afforded a roosting place for
numerous owls. Among the soldiers
was a strippling by the name of Spree-
lor. It was a wild and windy night
when Spreeler was called upon to do
guard duty.
About one o'clock , when the sky
was of a leaden hue and the wind
sighed fitfully' through the trees an
owl on a near-by limb hooted :
"Who who are you ? "
' "John Spreeler , " exclaimed the sentinel -
tinol , trembling in his boots.
Just at that moment a bullfrog , in
deep bass tones , seemed to say :
"Sur sur surround him ! "
"I'll be hanged if you do , " exclaim
ed Spreeler , as he fired his musket and
broke for the camp , which had been
thrown into the wildest confusion by
the alarm , which was supposed to
mean that the enemy was attacking
the outposts.
When the true state of affairs was
understood the other men made life a
burden for John until the battle of
Murfreesboro , when the Lincoln coun
ty strippling was promoted for con
spicuous bravery. He was afterward
assigned to Bragg's army , and died
like a hero at the "battle above the
clouds" while in the forefront of the
charge , trying to spike an enemy's
cannon.
Not "What She Expected.
An English lord was recently dining
with a family in New York. The host
ess' little girl , says the Children's Vis
itor , sat opposite the lord and stared
solemnly.
"Are you an English lord , really and
truly , sir ? " she said at last.
"Yes , " he answered , laughing , "real
ly and truly. "
"I never saw an English lord be
fore , " she said. "I've always wanted
to. "
"And now you're satisfied , aren't
you ? " said the young man , gaily.
"No , I'm not satisfied , " responded
the little girl. "I'm disappointed. "
"What Ma Says.
"Now , that phrase , " said the teach
er , "is an idiom. Does any little boy
know what an Idiom is ? "
"Yes'm ! " piped little Tommy
Skrapps , "that's what pa is when ma
don't want him to have his own way ,
and he does. " Philadelphia Press.
