Accurate Reporting.

A reporter was sent to interview a
Western statesman on a political ques-
ton. The result was coherent and
reasonable quarter of column. The
next mail brought an indignant com.
plant that the man had not been fully
or accurately reported.

didn't write,' said the editor severely.
The reporter sat down and made
this addendum:
"Having thus expressed himself,

stituent of his dinner) for Worcester

A Drill That Seemed Easy

From the Recollections of Pri-
vate," in the November Century, we
quote the following:
"After enlisting l didn't seem of so
much consequence as | expected.
There was not so much excitement on
account of my military appearance as
| deemed justly my due. l was taught
my facings, and at the time l thought
the drillmaster needlessly fussy about
shouldering, ordering and presenting
arms. The musket, after an hours
drill, seemed heavier and less orna-
mental than it had looked to be. The
first day | went out to drill, getting
tired of doing the same things over and
over, l said to the drill sergeant, Let's
stop this fooling and go over to the
grocery His only reply was
addressed to corporal: Corporal,
take this man out and drill him like
hell;' and the corporal did. found
that suggestions were not as well
appreciated in the army as in private
life, and that no wisdom was equal TO

acquired it at last, in humility and
mud, but it was tough. Yet l doubt
if my patriotism, during my first three
weeks drill, was quite knee high.
Drilling looks easy to spectator, but
1t isn't. Old soldiers who read this
will remember their green recruithood
and smile assent. After time l had
cut down my uniform so that | could
see out of it, and had conquered the
drill sufficiently to see through it.

Marshall Swartzwelder, who, for
a quarter of a century, has been the
leading criminal lawyer of Pennsyl-
vania, died recently at his residence
near Pittsburg, from brain fever,
resulting from an accidental fracture
of his leg. Mr.. Swartzwelder was
born in Hagerstown, Md, in 1919.
His father was an itiDerant minister,
but shortly after Marshall's birth re.
moved to Pittsburg and engaged in
business. Young Swartzwelder fin
ished his preparatory course in
Hagerstown. He attended Dickinson
College, at Carlisle, Pa, and went
short time to Georgetown College. He
read law in Hagerstown, and was
admitted to the bar there, as well as at
Baltimore. At the latter place he
practiced but short time. Moving to
Pittsburg he entered into law part
nership with Hon. Walter Forward,
who was Secretary of the Treasury
under Pierce, and served as Justice of
District Courts for the Western Dis
trict of Pennsylvania. He served two
terms in the State Legislature, and was
instrumental in the passage of an act
IudkIuS IuC JuulCidiy ClCSliVO' LIS
first criminal case created sensation,
ending as it did in the conviction Of
Greatrake for seduction, after one of
the hardest fought legal battles. In a
single bound he became famous
criminal attorney, developing faculty
which afterward saved many necks
from the gallows. The only man he
ever defended who was hanged was
Ortweim, who murdered family of
eight persons. He did not undertake
the case voluntarily, but was appointed
by the Court. Truthfully it can be
said that not client of his was ever
hanged. Mr.. Swartzwelder was an
eloquent talker, and prepared his cases
with remarkable care. Upon one
occasion he quoted nearly the whole Of
Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter." and
again he used King Lear with great
effect with the jury. He was hand
some, talented and had belle lettre
education. His conversation was as
eloquent as his speeches He will be
long remembered.--Ph philadelphia CAL.

RING OUT. WILD BELLS.

Ring out, wild bells, to tho wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
he year Is dying in the night;
Hlg out, wild bells, and let him die.
ki0gout the old, ring In the new,
Rihg, happy bells, across the snow;
Tns year Is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For ii ose that here we see no more:
RI sut the feud of rich and poor,
Pin. IN redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeIer manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes.
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spire;
Ring in the love Of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes OF foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust Of gold;
Ring ont the thousand wars of old,
Ring In the. thousand years OF peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness Of the land,
Ring In the Christ that is to be.

The PAGERS Outpacing the Trettsrs

Whether the pace or the trot is the
faster gait has long been source of
argument, but as the years go by and
more attention is paid to the develop
ment of the side. wheeler, the opinion
has gained ground that the lateral
movement is the more rapid. This
seems to be borne out by the perform
ances of Minnie r and Jewett, the
former with trotting record of 2:19
and the latter with one of 2:231s.
When converted from trotting to a
pacing gait, the former PAGES in 2:16
and the latter 2:144, both in the first
year of their conversion. Taking the
six fastest pacing and trotting records,
we find the following:

Not Easily Scared.

As showing the fearlessness of the
British soldier, and his insensibility to
danger, it is related that during the
siege of Lucknow very young private
in H. Ms 102d was on sentry, when
an eight-inch shell burst close to him,
and threw up an immense quantity of
earth. The noise was considerable, as
the gun was fired from only one hun
bred yards of. The officer who CON-
handed at the outpost rushed out to
see what had happened. He saw the
youth standing at his post as calmly as
if nothing had occurred. On asking
the man what had happened, he replied
unconcernedly:
Il think shell has burst, sir"

On the general summing up it is
shown that the PAGERS are three seconds
ahead. If the tables were carried
little further it would be found that
they are still more in advance, for,
while the six trotters mentioned are
all that have ever beaten 214, Flora
Bell, Gem, Fuller, Rowdy Boy and
Westmont have all beaten those figures,
making eleven PAGERS TO six trotters
that have gone their mile better than
2:14. When it is considered that there
are so few PAGERS, in comparison with
trotters, the conclusion is natural that
the pacing gait is faster than the trot
ting gait-7urf, Field and Farm.

Freie Press, September IL.
The great question Is. Is 1t better for
society to be without any spirituous or
intoxicating drinks whatever, or is 1t
better that they exist and their use and
the traffic in the same be free to the
public2 This is not subjective ques-
ton of taste or evil passions, but an OBJ
jective question of culture and pros
perlty. Now, is humanity in better
condition, physically, morally and 9th
erwise, with or without drinks OF this
kind?
II Is known generally that In the
United States of America there exists n
continually growing public opinion that
spirituous drinks are the foundation of
all evil, and that human society with
out them.would be happy. These peo-
pie are honest in their opinions and their
desire to be of benefit TO mankind
and do them good, hence they
believe that abolition of all spirituous
drinks would be the greatest benefaotor
to society. 1t Is n serious question,
and therefore we will not treat it
frivolous or superiiciously. Are they
right or we? We claim that the exist
ence and the free usage Of spirltuous
drinks Is beneficial to society, and that
the abolition of the same means physical
and moral suicide. This Is the great
question.
Never have we seen this question
answered more forcibly and pointedly
than in the reply of the Swiss Bundles
rath (DieD to the temperance associa-
tions. 1t says: "That the custom or
use of spurious drinks at social gather
ings and entertainments increases and
CELEBRATES the tone of people thus
brought together and makes enjoy
ment more sweet, ii wipes away
the traces ofdaily labor and opens the
heart to more lofty impressions, ideals
or conceptions and is closely connected
with the development of public life.
"Public houses and gatherings increase
the intellectual activity, they awaken
the soul and are strong antidote against
misanthropical ideas, against selfish
dissipated Imagination" This report
conquered the whole Swiss people like
storm. This report says, in other
words: The character of society Is rad
ically changed according to the exist
ence or non-existenoe of spirituous
drinks in its community, In the latter
case the change is derogatory to the
same. The report says: "All that
makes life worth living or pleasant Is
communicated by means OF spirituous
drinks in truly social entertainments,
strike these out and you may hang up
the sign Compulsory Work Shop over
its creator brought forth the materials
for these drinks, made their growth and
existence possible? The happiness OF
mankind cannot be founded upon the
destruction of things which are created
by nature"
