Kansas City Times. John Brown Gordon is one of the heroes of the south. The south learned to love him in time of war, and that love has grown and broad- ened in time of peace. The life of ahero is generally filled with ro- mance and adventure, but the lives of but few men furnish as many of those incidents the mere reading of which causes the heart to swell and the eyes to shine as does the life of General John B. Gordon. His war record from the time he riding coat rode slowly along the} VEST VIRGINIA’S STRONG MAN. | line and stopped in front of the col- ors of the Forty-ninth.

The eyes of the jlong gray ranks all turned upon him. It was Gordon. Spurriag up to the silent man he grabbed his bridle rein. The men about the colors of the Forty-ninth heard him say: “General Lee this is no place for you! Do go to the rear.” Then he raised his voice that has thrilled thousands, and the men heard him say: ‘These are Virgin- ians and Georgians, sir—men who have never failed—and they will not fail now. Will you, boys?” he asked of the ranks. “Is it necessary for General Lee to lead this charge?” “No! No!” came an answering roar. ‘Lee to the rear!” “We drive them back if Lee will go to the rear. Gordon can take us through. Go back, general!” Lee bowed his head. There was but one thing he could do. Two soldiers stepped from the donned the gray until he stood be- fore his brokenbearted men after ranks and led his horse to the rear. Gordon then wheeled his horse, It was evident that he intended to ninth all along the line there ran a Lee | his massive shoulders, which the stars and bars had been run|placed as he was just where the down forever, and in one of the| fighting was soon to be most furious grandest speeches in all the nation’s|and above all the roar of fighting all history told them to bear the trial,|around, his wonderful clear voice|can easily hold out at arms length go home in peace, obey the laws, re- build the country and work for the weal and harmony of the republic, was one of the greatest brilliancy. Gordon's perfect chivalry and wonderful bravery reminds one of the kings of the battlefield of the olden time, and there is not the need of the coloring of fiction and tradition to give them added luster. Every man whose heart leaps when he hears the shrill notes of “Dixie” loves to hear of the stories of Gor- don. Where is the southern veteran who has not a stock of them to tell his sons around the evening fireside. Wherever the bullets were thick- est, there was Gordon. He was five times desperately wounded. At Sharpsburg he was shot all to pieces, but his faithful wife followed her warrior through all his campaigns, and her loving nursing brought him back to his saddle to lead the last charge at fateful Appomatox, where with one of the boldest dashes in history, he took his ragged, hungry men through a storm of leaden} death over the fatal breastworks, | and captured a number of pieces of artillery. Oue of the stories the veterans love to tell is how General Gordon ordered General Lee to the rear. Robert E. Lee was a general who loved his soldiers as a father loves his children. His men returned in full the love he gave them. sentiment of the whole army was, “Lee must not die. ° On May 10, 1864, the confederate | lines were broken near Spottsylvania | court house. The federal troops poured through the opening anda terrible disaster seemed staring the confederate leaders in the face. Lee was there. He knew that something must be done. Gordon was there. He was the man to do it. Gordon was in command ot Early’s old divi- sion, one of the best that ever wore uniforms of gray. He was ordered to recapture the works. There were no raw recruits in that old division. | riously protested “Vy shudge, dem jn its The veterans knew what was com-| ing when Gordon dashed up and down before them, and they form- ed for the charge. The Forty-ninth Virginia was in the center of the line. The soldiers of the whole di vision could see its tattered colors, ! which were to be carried to the front by men who had taken them bravely there many times before.

Gordon was in front. Nothing could stop them. It was a fearful fight. When it was over the works had been recaptured and the confederate line established. Lee had not been killed and Gor- don had once more proved himself one of the most dashing soldiers in the world. ; Fight Oyera Claim. Perry, O.

Jobn Willey is 28 years old andj} weighs 216 pounds. He is che youngest son in a family noted throughout the country for muscle. His mother could easily carry a bar- rel of flour on her hip, and once ex- asperated at her son's inability to draw with his horse a log of fire- wood 18 inches in diameter and about 14 feet long, she seized one end of it and raised it up until it} was nearly perpendicular. | Wiley seems insensible to pain| of any kind and does not feel the} hardest blow that can be given him. | In an altercation once his antagonist | struck him three times on the arm with a half inch bar of iron, bending the rod almost double, und bruising the flesh black and blue, yet Willey asserted that he felt no pain either at the time or afterward. Wil- ley at the time was held by three men, but he wrenched himself away and with one slap of his brawny took all the fight out of the other fellow. Once he was attacked in the stable by a large and vicious Spanish jack, which made every effort to kill him. Willey seized the enraged animal with his powerful arms and threw the brute down and sat on him. He 50 pound weighta, and has shoulder ed and carried for some distance a square piece of timber weighing more than 900 pounds. . Perhaps the most remarkable test be hag given of his strength was when in the presence of a number of persons Willey lifted clear of the ground the enormous weight of} 1,700 pounds.
