MEN HIT IN BATTLE.
OBSERVATIONS OF A SOLDIER WHO
FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR.

"If you want to know how men dio
In battle, BBk some of those who
bate been ot Wilson's Creek, on one
tde or the other," said Judge David
Murphy of the criminal court of St
Louis.
"I was In Totten'a Battery, and I
taw them, wounded and dying, fall
ing thick and fast around me. You
mar say that I taw not one man
flank In the face of death on that
lerrlble day of fighting and bloodshed.
While I was firing my gun from
Bloody Hill a youngster, not more
than twenty years old, suddenly jerk
ed bis leg. He uttered a sharp, quirk
err. then bent down and tore the
trousers away from the place on his
skin where a Mlnle ball had struck
btm. He looked up with a stylle, pat
ted the wound with his hand, pulled
the torn trousers down and went on
shooting. Five minutes later he yel
led again, and his hand went up to
the fleshy part of his arm. 'Hit again!'
he said, sat down behind the battle
ranks and examined his arm. The
wound was only skin deep, and that
eemed to please him hugely, for he
tied his handkerchief around tt and
-went again forward Into the ranks
with his musket.
"You're fighting In bad luck, to-day,
Pete,' said a comrade. The youngBter
turned his face to answer back, and
(by the mapping of his eyes It could
be seen that bis mind framed a saucy,
defiant reply. Just then his Jaw drop
ped. A ball ploughed its way through
Its mouth leaving nothing but a bloody
cavity. With a hoarse gurgle the fel
low threw bis gun on the ground and
fled back of the lines. He was found
to a hospital afterwards, but never re
covered. "On that same day I encountered
three men under a tree. Their faces
were ashy gray, showing that they
were mortally wounded. I asked them
why they were not attended to, and
J one of them said that it was all over
with them; they wanted the surgeons
to attend first to those who could be
eared. One of the men was smoking
short brlarwood pipe.
What are you doing, my friend?"
' i asked.
"Taking my last smoke," be answer
ed, his glassy eyes looking steadily at
Be. Another was reading a letter. He
aeld It up to his face, but I could see
that he was not making any headway.
' His yes were growing dim. and bis
weak, trembling bands folded the mis
sive and thrust it Into bis breast
'pocket.' He was perfectly resigned to
'tis fate and had not a word to say.
When I returned In the evening, after
a lull. I found the three men dead.
Their faces were white and set in the
shadow of the tree Under which they
lay.
"That's all bosh about men raving
" about home; mother and heaven. All
the men I have seen die or near death
were quiet and perfectly rational.
They made no fuss. Those that did
were usually delirious, entirely out of
their minds. The faces of those were
frequently distorted, and gave every
evidence of the mental and physical
agony they unconsciously had endured.
"One thing struck me as peculiar.
Nearly all the regulars exhibited an
instant desire to examine their wounds
when they were hit, and the expres
sion of their faqs indicated in a mo-
saent whether they were slightly or
' Mortally wounfled. They seemed to
know with unfailing certainty. If the
wound was slight and in a place
where they could tie it up convenlent-
tj. they did so, and then went back
to the fighting lines. If it was mortal
their grave, pale faces betrayed their
knowledge. The volunteers were not
so well poBted, but they were as brave
as lions, and seldom gave up unless
seriously hurt."
Whan a Man Ileeomm of Ac.
The question sometimes arises
whether a man is entitled to vote at
an election held on the day preceding
' ti fwnntv-first anniversary of his
Mrth. Blackstone, in his Commen
sries, book 1, page 463 says "full age
Jh male or female Is twenty-one years
which age Is completed on the day pre
ceding the anniversary of a person's
Irth, who, till that time. Is an Infant.
and so stvled In law." The late umei
Justice Sharswood. In bis edition of
Blackstonc's Commentaries, quotes
Christian's note on the above, as fol
lows: "If he Is born on the 10th of
February. 1608, he is of age to do any
JeKal act on the morning of tho 16th
f February. 1629, though he may not
nave lived twenty-one years by nearly
forty-elrht hours. The reason as
signed Is. that in law there is no frac
tion of a day; and if the birth were
en the last second of one day, and the
t of the first second of the preceding
day twentv-one years after, then twen
ty-one years would be complete; and
fn the law it Is the same wnetner
ihtng is' done, upon one moment of the
iay op another." The same high au
thority (Sharswood) adds in a note of
Is own, "A person la ot full age the
day before the twenty-first anniver
aary of his birthday."

This was au error in fact, and no otll

there Is still some sinoko dlsccruahlo

hundreds of formulas prepared ami

we will not have any advnt'taKo ever

well off In this particular as we will

mulas, but tho base is the same, nitro
glycerine. Smokeless powder has a
particular value for sharpshooters. It
allows them an opportunity to do dam

I chances of them beiug discovered.
Slmrpshootiug Is only au incident of
warfare and a small one lu compari

to take every advantage that la fair
