Some of the regiment* that went Into that sanguinary conflict came oat with but thirty men, and one which went in in the morning with 200 --the Twentieth Illinois--came out with bat fifteen! » Logan himself has said: "Right and left, right and left, like a weaver's shut­ tle, went the Army of the Tennessee, athwart the serrifed ways, amid heat and dust, shot and shell, blood and tears, wav­ ing the crimpon network of revenge, till the field was in the bloody toils and fairly won." \" Logan became, as he always did in ac­ tion, a lion roused. Late that night, in talking over the incidents of the day, Lo­ gan said: "I made up my mind to win the fight or never come out alive, for had our army suffered defeat the people at home never would realize how desperate was the struggle against such great odds, but would sr»y: 'Had McPherson lived the re­ sult would have been different.' " Called to temporary command of the Army of the Tennessee at this critical juncture, and having by almost superhu­ man. ski'l, exertion and intrepidity snatch­ ed victory from the very jaws of defeat, it has always seemed unjust tli.-it Logan should have been immediately superseded by Gen. O. O. Howard. This was on the recommendation of Gen. jShei'inan. Logan wais the typical volunteer soldier, the idol of his men, and the ideal of the wiioie army. Gen. Sherman, however, always defended his act on the plea of HowatcVs being a West Point man, and therefore skilled in strategic maneuver. As,Logan appeared at the battle of At­ lanta so he appeared in all the conflicts in which he participated during the wa \ He was the idol of the common soldier; when­ ever he w as seen galloping recklessly in the most exposed positions, his long locks floating in the wind, the men set up a cry of "Logan, Logan; we'll follow where the Black Eagle leads!" -Dr. Roler was with Gen. Logan during the entire war. He declares that one of Logan's marked characteristics was his care for his men. During battle he ex­ pected them \o fight, to dare anything which promised victory.

A gentleman who makes his home iu the Hotel Berkeley is < the possessor of a fine St. Bernard Which deserves a gold medal. The dog has developed a string penchant for stopping runaway horses, and the last time the stop was accomplished just in time to save a party of ladies from serious injury, and perhaps worse. His master was driv­ ing down Portland avenue last Satur­ day when he was startled by a cry of "Look outI", He turned, and was just iii time to wheel his horse out of the way of a runaway, which was tearing down the avenue. Just ahead there was a party of ladies who could not possibly escape* what seemed certain death to some of them, when the dog; who had been following, and who seemed by instinct to comprehend the impending tragedy, gave a leap and caught the reins of the runaway be­ tween his teeth, his graat weight bring­ ing the frightened animal to his haunches just as he was about to strike one of the ladies, who seemed too ter­ rified to move.--Minneapolis Times. SOLDIER, dered; April 26, 1865. May 23 he was appointed to the command of the Army of the Tennessee. The war over, he resigned his commis­ sion, saying he did not wish pay when not on active duty. President Johnson ap­ pointed him minister to Mexico, but he declined the honor. In 1806 he was elected as a Republican to the Fortieth Congress, and was a man­ ager in the impeachment trial of President Johnson. * He was elected to the Forty-first Con­ gress and worked well for the reduction of the army. He was elected to the Forty-second Congress, but was chosen United States How They Robbed the Mint. Some years ago the mint authorities of a certain city noticed that a small amount of gold was missing every day after the coinage operations were over. They watched., and set traps of every description, but no thief was detected, and after the loss had continued with regularity for some months they set it down to an extra amount of unavoid­ able waste and thought no more of it. Two or three years afterward, two brothers who were working there left and set up a public house together on money which they said had been left them by an uncle. As they had both good characters, it was not until one of them told a mint foreman, on the understanding that no action should be taken, that anything was known of the following trick: Both the brothers used to grease their hands before working at the machines, and whenever they noticed some gold dust sticking to the grease it was wiped off in their hair. Care was used that enough was not taken to show, though, when they washed their hair at home each night the few grains meant sever­ al extra shillings, which ultimately enabled them to retire and live com­ fortably. : ' The Peacock at Home. The real home of the peacock or pea­ fowl is im India. There th'ey were and are hunted, and their flesh is used for food. As these birds live In the same region as the tiger, peacock-hunting is a very" dangerous sport. The long train of the peacock is not '1$ tail, as, many suppose, but is composed of. feathers which grow out just above the tail, and are called the tail-coverts. Pea­ cocks have been known for many hun­ dred years. They are mentioned in the Bible:' Job mentions them, and t hey are mentioned too in I. Kings, 10. Hundreds of years ago in Rome many thousand peacocks were killed for the great feasts which the emperors made. The brains of the peacock were con­ sidered a great treat, and many had to be killed for a single feast.--St. Nich­ olas. HIS VALOR AND RESOLUTION IN DESPERATE ORtSES. tthen "Bla A Kazle" Charged the Battle Line Knew Not Pear--ChiT- alrona with Women, and the Unrest­ ing: Friend of the Nation's Veterans. Black Jack's Career. John Alexander Logan, one of nature's captains, was born in Jackson County, 111., Feb. 9, 1826. In a mighty drama he played a commanding role. When he had hung up his sword he was raised to a se­ lect group of his nation's statesmen, and there he continued to sustain the respect that his blameless valor had won him on the bloody field. Named to sit beside the head man of his countrymen. ,he led gal­ lant charges in that civil campaign that shook the eventful summer of 1S84, and, though unrewarded with .victory, he for­ feited not the love and admiration of his followers, who afterward saw with satis­ faction their swarthy chieftain continued in his statesman's chair. With powers unabated lor future high service he was suddenly called on'the 26th of December, 18S6, to exchange his toga for his shroud. These are the influential facts in John A. Logan's "distinguished career: He was of Irish stock, his father emi­ grating from Ireland to Maryland, to Kentucky, to Missouri, to Illinois. He was educated at a common school, and by a tutor and at Shiloh College. He served in the Mexican war and served well. > •, _ v ' XX Xy After the Mexican war he studied law. In 1851 he was graduated at Louisville University,, admitted to the bar, and be­ came pinner of his uncle, Alexander M. Jenkins.

In 1852 he removed to Benton, Frank­ lin County. Try Grain-O; Try Grain-O! i - Ask your grocer tp-day to show you a package of GRAIN-O, the new food- drink that takes the place of coffee.

The general passenger agent of one of the Chicago trunk lines received a letter from a Kansas man the other day requesting a pass for himself to Chicago and return. There was noth­ ing about the letter to indicate that the writer had any claim whatsoever to the courtesy he requested, but the railway men thought that perhaps the Kansan had some connection with the road in some way, possibly as a local freight agent. So he wrote back: "Please state explicitly on what ac­ count you request transportation." By return mail came this reply: "I've got to go to Chicago some way. and I don't want to walk." No Royal Hoad. Euclid, the famous Greek mathema­ tician, was asked one day by King Ptolemy, whether there was not a shorter and easier way to the knowl­ edge of geometry than that which he had laid down in his (Elements. "No indeed," said he, "there is no royal road to geometry." In the same spirit, when Alexander the Great wanted to learn geometry by some easier and shorter method, he was told by his teacher that "he must here be content to travel the same road with others, for the things of this nature are equally difficult to prince and people."

KIDNEY TROUBLES Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, ii Kjit I ^ I cannot speak too highly of Mrs. Pinkham's Medicine, for it has done so much for me. I have been a great suf­ ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in muscles, joints, back and shoulders; feet would swell. I also had womb troubles and leucorrhoea. After using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound, and Blood Purifier and Liver Pills, I felt like a new woman. My kidneys are now in perfect condition, and all-my other troubles are cured.-- MBs. MAGGIE POTTS, 324 Kauffman St., Philadelphia, Pa. j Backache. My system was entirely run down, and I suffered with terrible backache in the small of my back and could hardly stand upright. I was more tired in the morning than on retiring at night. I had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I have gained fifteen pounds, and I look better than I ever looked before. I shall recommend it to all my friends, as it certainly is a wonder­ ful medicine.--MBS. E. F. MORTON, 1043 Hopkins St., Cincinnati, Ohio. Kidney Trouble. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I had suffered many years with kidney trouble. The pains in my back and shoulders were terrible. My menstruation became ir­ regular, and I was troubled with leu­ corrhoea. I was growing very weak. I had been to many physicians but re­ ceived no benefit. I began the use of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine, and the first bottle relieved the pain in my back and regulated the menses. It is the best kind of medicine that I have ever taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly and cured the disease.--MKS. LILLIAN CBIPPBN, BOX 77, St. Andrews Bay, Fla. Insist on Having The Kind That Never Failed You, GENERAL LOGAN AT THE BATTLE OF ATLANTA. Pure Blood and Perfect Healtl no commander could have been more at­ tentive to questions of food, shelter and hospital care. Dr. Roler relates an ex­ ample of this which occurred at Hunts- ville, Ala. The army spent two or three months there in winter quarters. Logan was popular even with the Southerners there because of his fairness and genial­ ity. One of the Union generals, now dead, was known to sympathize strongly with the enemy, although in Federal uniform. This general and his staff had been quar­ tered in a large mansion in the outskirts of the town. It belonged to a Southern gentleman to whom that particular gen­ eral was much attached. He promised that when he and his staff retired the house should not be ocupied further by the army. When the time came to move, however, there were many sick and wounded to be left behind. The only available house suitable for a hospital was the old gentleman's mahsion. Dr. Roler called on Logan and related the circum­ stances. Logan at once said: "When it comes to a conflict between our friends and our wounded soldiers, I'll take the part of the wounded," and immediately ordered the house to be used foi" hospital purposes. As an instance of his unfailing courtesy to the enemy, and especially to women and children, Major Mitchell, one of Lo­ gan's old staff oflicers and a Board of Trade man now in Chicago, relates the folowiug incident: "When the army was encampcd at Huntsville a Southern wom­ an, whose husband aud sons were in the Confederate army, applied to Logan for protection. She lived alone with her two daughters, and was afraid that the fam­ ily might be molested in some way. Lo­ gan at once stationed a guard at her house and kept it there until the army moved. Logan never could resist the appeal of the old soldier. After the bitter campaign of 1884 an old volunteer, lame and broken in health, presented himself before the general one evening. He preferred a re­ quest, compliance with which would have placed Logan in the position of an appli­ cant for favor from the administration. Much agitated at the old man's story, the "If a woman reads f m Pj Pearline 'ads,' and acts upon them, shWll%| , . have plenty of time to read everything; J5 else in the paper." //, is what a woman writes to vmt us> anc* she's a woman who jg /** ought to know.

Congress, chased the troops, grabbed a gun and stayed at Bull Run until there were extra good reasons for leaving the field. i" • He returned to Illinois in August, re­ signed his 3eat in Congress, organized the Thirty-first Illinois, and was made its colonel, Sept. 13. He v vas at Belmont at the head of his | own hot bayonets, and lost a horse. He led his regiment at Fort Henry and Fort Donclson, at the hi tter assault getting a wound that disabled him for some time. March 5, 1862, he became brigadier- general of volunteers. That summer the people at home said. "Come back, Logan, and run for Congress," and Logan're­ plied: "I have entered the field to die, if need be, for this Government, and never expect to return to peaceful pursuits un­ til the object of this war of preservation has become an established fact." In Grant's northern Mississippi cam­ paign Logan commanded the third divis­ ion of thf Seventeenth army corps under McPherson. He was made major general of volunteers Nov. 26, 1802. He fought at Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson and Champion Hills. He com­ manded McPherson's center at Vicksburg and made the assault at the explosion of the mine. His column first entered the city, and he was made its military gov­ ernor. In November, 1863, he succecded Sher­ man in eemmand of the FifU-Outh army corps. In 1864 he led the advance of the Army of the Tennessee at Resaca, repuls­ ed Hardee at Dallas and drove the enemy from his line of works at Kenesaw Moun­ tain. At Atlanta he succeeded McPherson, and saved Sherman from disaster. When Atlanta fell, Sept. 1,1864, Logan went home and took part in, the presiden­ tial campaign, but returned to Sherman and active service until Johnston surren- Standard of the World, Have made themselves the leading bicycles on ac­ count of their quality--not on account of theii; price. 1896 COL.UMBIAS, . . . :: 1897 HARTFORDS, . . . ;; HARTFORDS Pattern 2, ij HARTFORDS Pattern I, il HARTFORDS Patterns 5 and 6, Wr Si) I 3;.-•»/.
