The greaspicture of the battle OF Look
out Mountain is still in Dayton. owing
to the sudden death of Col. Woods
father. The Colonel intended removing
it to Springfield for exhibition but was
delayed by this sad occurrence. The
Brown Guard from Soldiers Home stand
in all their bright bravery before the
frame building that contains the picture,
and, at certain times, drill and march
about to the stirring music of their band.
Among them can be discerned a veri-
table little ''brownie"-the son OF Col.
Brown, Governor of the Home. The
urchin is five years old and ten years
smart, and goes about handling his small
sword and gun with a telling air.
Magog and Zit live again-as far
as the personal appearance goes
in the mighty Drum-maJor, who
stands over six feet in his bootless feet
and hatless head, and the little red

trappings. Besides the Brown Guards
drill there is that of the Knights of St.

these uniformed soldiers march to the
front and stand between the spectator
and the gigantic picture the effect Is
truly startling, and one can almost be-
lieVe that the painted forms move also,
and those who have never looked upon a
battlefield can understand by looking
upon the far-distant mountains and the
near line OF moving soldiers just how
the real field looks. II the picture
should ever travel your way, be sure you
detail company OF soldiers TO make the
dramatic effect perfect.

yancing to the bedside where his wife
| lay, dressed in her working-clothes, he
| found, after close examination, that
HIS WIFE WAS DEAD.
1t seems tnat Mr.. Foggerty had lost
most of his hard-earhed money that he
had been putting by for years, and as
the work grew harder upon his wife in
consequence of his loss, her oyer-work
resulted in apoplexy.

Dayton is dull, and the truth can moi
be denied. Several serious failures have
occurred of late and more portending.
The bright, cold weather fights off the
blues, and people seem lively and busi-
