Mem Who liusche Wfcem Bntlets Hit Them The Worlc of a Tor pedo A Kly Crawl. Capt. Ruthven -W. Houg;h'ton, 523 West Fourteenth avenue, has just re ceived a pension of $30 per monthfor services valiantly performed. He is a striking old gentleman of about 60, of massive frame, and clear, youth ful face, and to an admiring youth ful friend who congratulated him on his good, fortune he driited back im mediately into reminiscences of the war, which 'he told with ah inimitable gTace and humor, says the Denver Post. Capt. Houghton was brought up in Haverhill, Mass., and enlisted with the Third New Hampshire as first ' ser geant of A company on July 27, 1861, and served with the Army of the South under Sherman till October, 1864, when ;sickness forced him to leave the serv ice. In the action at Seccessionville, S. C, on June 12. 1S62, many of, the officers of the regiment were killed, and Mr. Houghton was promoted to second lieutenant. He fought at Port Royal in 1861, and at Bermuda' Hun dred, Drury's Bluff, and Deep Run in Virginia in 1864, but the engagement he loves to tell about was the series of battles beginning at Morris island on'july 10, 1863, and ending with the assault of Fort Wagner on Septem ber 7 of the same year. "We were under fire every day for these two months, you understand," he said. "But see here now," as his modesty began to battle with his rec ollections, "you don't want me to tell you about this. There are plenty of other people. Did I see Col. Shaw, of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, killed? Yes, I did. There was a fine officer, now. And let me tell you, too, those colored troops of his were about as fine fellows as there were in . the army. I remerriber that charge as if it were only yesterday. "We lay there on the sand hills in our intrenchments all day," he con tinued, as his face lit up with a smile of humor .and recollection. "We had been under fire from Forts Wagner, Moultrie, Sumpter and countless bat teries hidden in the sand. Out in the harbor' a whole line of federal mon itors and gunboats had bee batter ing away at the se;esh all day, but they were in sand batteries, and the shots didn't do much harm. "Just at sunset it was the 18th of July, if I remember rightly Gen. Strong- rode' up, and, passing between the platoons . said quietly: 'Boys, I want you to take that fort, and I don,'t want you to 'fire a shot. Use your bayonets.' And we didn't." We marched up to within 20 yards of the fort, under a perfect" rain of shot. "Al vin Libbey, our adjutant general, rode directly up to the breastworks and was shot in two by a grapeshot, and -pulled into the f art. -.Whale ecsnpajnies, prrefr,.cnt to pieces, especially among Shaw's eol oTeTtrOopa, who never flinched. Hut wecouldn't get any further. Strong ordered. Col. Jackson to take his .mjen backro entrecnljent. JiSst m he -Jve.1e6Alei round. shot "took jiway the breast of Col. Jackson's eoat, and at the same time Gen. Strong1 pfrt his hand to his leg. 'Are you hif?' asked. Jackson. 'Not much, I gue&, laughed Strong. j was standing close at the tine, and yob can't imagine the strangeness of hearing two men laughing aboSit them " Most of the events of battle one doesn't remember, but that is as KdeC picture to me as the. moos- "ARE YOU HIT?" ASKED JACKSON. tains- yonder. . Gen. Strong died. from his wound less than :a fortnight later, while on his way home."; 1 Capt. Houghton; himself, received three wounds during his service, two' of which were scratches and the other a wound in the forehead which left a large but. almost imperceptible 'scar. v He had to be persuaded to talk about himself and wouldn't say any thing about his wound, for, some time. Finally he related .vhdw; he,, then a first lieutenant, was sent on the" night Df August 31 to make a reconnaissance of .Fort i.WagAer, where the confed erates were suspected of making? a sally. ... . .. mf n! arkJTrIed out over the mtrenchments.-one- a a time, across the sand, making tor. a little ditlprjrright ind$r,their walls.

Chicago, III., Oct. 7, 1902. Eight months ago I was so ill f that I was compelled to lie or sit . down nearly au "the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I 'could not urinate without great ' pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. - The doctors pro nounced, it Bright's disease and 'others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de- sire to Bsc. A sister visited me from St. liouia and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. 1 believe that it saved my life. ' I believe many women could S3ve much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? . Take Wine of. Cardui and make oho "rae effort to be well. You need to be ; a weak, helpless iferer. You can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day? REDUCED EXCURSION RATES. rVom S P and C S E Points to Seaside and Mountain Resorts for the Summer.

" - 'Where are the boys? I whimpered. , He looked up at' me, shook his head .and said noth ing. I asked him twice more ' and then fearing we were discovered, I crawled back to the intrenenments. "On the way I ran across the body of one of ithe boys and a big hole. That shot -I heard was a torpedo. ; I must have passed directly over it my self, but didn't happen to hit the cap. ';; .T "'. . -.T , ; "Well, we were up all that night, and next day as I was pretty - well tired, I lay down on a tarpaulin on a little slope inside our lines. The boys fixed a blanket to keep the sun off, and guess I must have gone to sieep, though there was a fearful racket, too. Anyway, the next thing I knew I was lying downat the foot of that sand hill, and Charles A. White, my ' second lieutenant was standing over me tying up my head. I felt' some thing moving up here over my e3e, and thought it was a fly. and when I put up my hand to brush it-away it was blood. My arm was all shot full of powder, too, though I didn't know it at the time. The whole thing didn't amount to much, though the 1 doctorg tell me that is what fixed me . as I am now," for the captain has in recent years become a paralytic, and i moves with much difficulty. ' i PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS. An Incident That Called Forth a Re versal of the Axiom by Gen eral Palmer. "Speaking "of rain," said the colonel, relates the ' Chicago Inter Ocean, "most of the Arm3' of the Cumberland have good reason to remember-.the cam paign in 1363 against Tullahoma. Our division, Palmer's, tr.oved forward in splendid "condition.' and ready, we thought, for anything that-could turn up, but we were not ready for the con tinuous rain that came upon ' us. ' It rained day and night, made the road like mortar beds, filled the streams so that we could not cross them, washed away bridges and flooded whole dis tricts. One day our regiment stopped in front of a house with a wide, com fortable porch. While we sat there in" the rain Gen. Palmer rode up and took PLEASURE BirOBI BUSINESS.' a seat oc the porch, sheltered from the rain.: j-. i '' i ' i, jJ'tlt itai soon r jioised abpiit that the epmmand had been halted while the en gineers .reported, as .to whether, the stream in front was fordable. or. as tW ooys t"-whVthcr"ttanjoT ihah '. h'deeici.,1..t A ? cavalryman galloped ' clc 'rom thebntoe' np t6 h i prch;' threw jth feins Of Ai jroife fD j .as orsderly, and startedi. up-ith. steps 3(vif;3ii;iah4ei3.elaniahgi-whe,n, a yko,ung lads , standing in-: thedoor jsprang, for ward, rew.hejrajms arpun hie iieck and kissed him.".

When the men learned that the young lady who had given the cavalryman such a hearty greeting" was -simply a sweetheart of ;his at Murfreesboro they lost interest in the case.' They had hoped that she was some southern girl who had met him previous to the war. Farthest North Civil War : Flarkta. .. During the last term of the Schuyler county court a discussion arose among the attorneys one evening as to the lo cation of the most northern battle of the civil war. Several of the United States histories refer to 3e's attack on Meade at Gettysburg as-the sceneof the most northern battle... There was a skirmish' at Lancaster in November, 1861,' and a-regular pitched battle at Athens, in Clarke county, Mo., in which several were killed on both sides, i The latter fight occurred the first Monday in August of that year. Both of these points are 60 or 70 miles north of Gettys kburg, and- were close to the Iowa line. Jn all three of these northern battles of the vrar the federals were victorious.
