Our command was to storm the first embankment and capture artillery. We didn't Then came the second command to advance. They were firing cannon and small guns at us only a few rods away, but we advanced, scaled the ramparts and captured the position. We took the Becond rampart by storm, too. Then came the order for us to retreat and let another battalion take the fortress itself.

"What? We do all the work and the other men capture the fort? Never! I sprang out in front of the ranks and waved my sword to the comrades. They followed me. We broke into a run and scaled the castle walls nor did we stop until we had taken every gun and every parapet, and I stood on one of the Austrian cannon, shouting 'Hurray for Prussia! God save And that is how I got my medal." Recollection Is Thrilling The pangs of his sickness disappeared and his eyes flashed fire his whole aged form and wrinkled face flashed out the animation of his youth, as old Rudolph told this portion of his story. But in a moment all the emotion had changed and he put his old blue handkerchief to his eyes as he said: "There were good times then. But it is only hard thoughts now."

I worked hard. At one time I was officer in seven different societies and lodges. They all helped to bring in a little money and to send the children to school. Fourteen Around Table "I remember at one time there were twelve children at the supper table. With me and my wife, there were 14 of us eating together.

And after the meal the girls would help their mother, and in ten minutes the whole table would be cleared, and the boys would get out the big book, and we would put down in it everything we had spent that day. It is a thing my parents did in the old country, and even today when I have almost nothing, I do it. I believe the children do it yet, too. It is a good habit. "There we would sit at the long table, and I would have an apple or something in my pocket, and I would give first a bite to the littlest boy, and FALL HATS ARE NOW READY The box social held at the Methodist parsonage Thursday evening was a decided success and the Ldales' Aid society Is well satisfied and the members feel that they were repaid for their efforts.
