BULLETS IN BATTLE,
Dsath Wounds and Flesh Wounds and
the Feeling When Struck.
In "Serving the Republic’’ General
Nelson A. Miles says that, like every
other soldier who has seen much active
service, he is often asked how it feels
to be wounded, lie himself was
wounded four times and twice almost
fatally, so be is nble to speak from
experience. He says:
"One is often asked bow It seems to
be wounded in bnttle. The flight of a
bullet Is quicker than thought and has
passed through a flesh wound before
one realizes that be has been struck.
I have seen bodies of men dead on the
field of bnttle where the brain bad
been pierced and death had been in
stantaneous. They would remain In
every position of the ’manual of arms,’
with an anxious look, a frown or a
smile on their cold and rigid faces.
"My wounds received at Fair Oaks,
Fredericksburg and Petersburg were
flesh wounds and disabled me but a
short time. While riding down the
line at Chancellorsville one of the ene
my’s bullets struck my metallic belt
plate with great force. This caused a
slight deviation as it entered the body.
The result was an Instant deathly sick
ening sensation. My sword dropped
from my right hand; my scabbard and
belt dropped to the left. I was com
pletely paralyzed below the waist. My
horse seemed to realize what had oc
curred. He stopped, turned and walked
slowly back. I holding to the pommel
of the saddle with my bands. We
soon reached a group of soldiers, who
took me off and. placing me In a blan
ket. carried me to the Chancellorsville
House 'and pulled a dead man off a
couch to make room for me.”

Skipper Norwood was born in a llt-
tie Nova Scotia town. During the long
winter evenings young Bill used to lie
out in front of the big open fireplace,
and just about the time he had got
warm and comfortable and a trifle
drowsy Norwood senior would make
up his mind the fire was getting low
and send his son out Into the snow to
i bring in a backlog from the wood pile.
: Eventually these nocturnal pilgrim
ages got on young Bill’s nerves, and
one night when his father sent him
out after the backlog the son contin
ued on past the wood pile and across
country to the nearest seaport, where
he shipped on a whaler.
Nine years later Bill came back. It
was a bitter winter night, and the snow
was falling. Bill sneaked up to the
window and looked Into the old sitting
room. The Are was burning in the old
fireplace, and Bill’s father and mother
wero seuted in f -out of it. He noticed
that the lire was a trifle low. So he
went to the wood pile, selected a big
backlog, carried It Into the house and
stood for a moment by the fire with
the log on his shoulder.
"Father,’’ said Bill, "I’ve brought in
that backlog you sent me after.”
The old man never budged an inch,
Instead be spat Into the Are and re

The council on Thursday night passed an ordinance
submitting to the voters a proposed amendment to the
city charter in regard to the granting of franchises. As
the granting of franchises is one of the most important
powers vested in the municipal council of a city, it is
best that changes in procedure be made carefully. Next
week we will publish the part of charter sought to be
changed, as it now stands and also as it would be if
changed by the proposed amendment.
