strong physically as the country boys,
bnt then they coaId stand the irregularity
Of army life better.
'sIf there's ever war in this country
again I think the greatest army men will
be made up of the railway meA. In the
first place, they are strong physically.
In the second place, they have learned
obedience, and have learned to obey all
orders without questioning them. This
wasn't so in the late war, for then men
had to be taught obedience and
their lesson was bitter one some
times. But, as 1 was saying, the railway
men will make q grand army. They,
above all things, are Injured to a life of
irregularity. They are used to fatigue
and hardships of long hours of work
without rest. This irregularity of life,
which all railroad men know is q fact,
more than anything else will make them
the best soldiers In the world, but hope
they viii never be called upon to shoulder

Gen. Sherman Answers Some Interestin
Questions.

Gen. Sherman Answers Some Interesting
questions.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
'Gen. Sherman" asked Capt Mattox,
"do you think if there was another war
that as good material would offer itself as
in the last war-mater1al like Grant,
Sherman, Thomas and others"
"Why, certainly" replied the general,
"there are as many good men in the army
now as there were when the army broke
out, and they'll make as good generals,
too. What they want is the opportunity.
THAT is what makes men great. Why, in
'61, out of 1000 officers of the army, there
wasn't one who would put his hand on
Grants shoulder and say, Here's the
greatest general of the war. They didn't
know then. 1T takes the opportunity to
bring them out. There is the making of
as great generals now in the army as
there was then. There always Will be
men who will come to the front ia
times of great emergency, and there 81
ways was"
"Tne next war;" said Gen Sherman lat
or, in answer to a question from Capt. w.
G. Smith, twill be terrible slaughter
Men won't be able to come tog ether and
fight. These machine guns are terrible
things, and with them war will be as
bloody as a big slaughter-house. War
won't be fought over again as it was in
'61-'65, and in 20 across the water.
Those were hand-to- hand engagements
almost. Men fought close to one an
other, and physical strength and powers
couRted for a good deal; but in the next
war all that will be changed. Then it
will be slaughter with these terrible ma
chimes that fire thousands of bullets in a
minute or so.''
General" asked an inquisitive young
man, do you think that the strong robust
young fellows from the country make
better soldiers than the young men from
the city,"
"The late war; replied the general,
demonstrated the fact that the boys
from the city could stand more fatigue
and hardship and marching than the
country boys. The boys from the coun-
try were stronger always, but they were
used to regular life, and when they got
into the army the irregularity of the life,
its hardship and exposure, weakened and
fEally killed many strong young far
mer boy, while the boys from the big
cities, being used to irregular hours, ir-
regular living, and unmethodical ways of
life, could stand any amouut of hardship
without going under. This was proved
by the war. / saw it proved in many
cases myself. Young city chaps were
tougher in every way They weren't so

THEY HAD NO poEriAND so THEY DIED"
JAMES NEWTON MATTHEW'S.

In the dim. waste land of the Orient stands
The wreck of a race so old and vast,
That the erayest legend cannot lay hands
On a single fact of its tongueless past;
Not even the red gold crown of king,
Nor a warriors shield nor aught beside,
Can history out of the ruins wiring
They had no poet and so they died.
Babel and Nineveh, what are they
But feeble hints of passing power
That over the populous east held sway,
In dream of pomp for paltry hour!
A toppled tower, and shattered stone
Where the satyrs dance and the dragons hide,
Is all that is known OF the glory hown-
They had no poet and so they died.
Down where the dolorous Congo slips,
Like a tawny- snake through the torrid cline
Mans soul has slept in cold eclipse,
On the worlds dark rim since the dawn Of
time?
And if ever the ancient Nublans wrought
A word of beauty, or strength, or pride,
1t was unrecorded, and goes for naught-
They had no poet and so they died.
In the lonely southwest, by the tropic seas,
In a land of summer, and fun, and gold,
lis said that a nation as grand as Greece,
Up grew in the glorious days Of old;
But Time, the leveler, came at last,
And scattered its splendors far and wide,
And the marvellous Aztec empire passed
They had no poet and so they died.
And even here in the sr1n-crowned West,
In the land we love, in the wales we We trod,
Where the bleeding palms of the world ind rest,
On Freedom lap, at the the feet OF God
Even here. l say, ere the earth waxed OLD,
race Titanic did once abide
But all their story is left untold
They had no poet and so they died.
The same old tale and so it viii be,
As long as the heavens feed the stars
As long as tribes of men shall see
A lesser glory in arts than
And so let us live and labor and pray,
As down we glide with the darkling tide,
That never a singer of US may say,
They had no poet and so they died.

Or will prove fatal immediately" The
doctor answered.: "You can only live a
short time without it, and it may possibly
relieve YOU" Then Patrick Henry said:

after ward, in perfect calmness, ne swal-
lowed the medicine. Meanwhile DR..
Cabell, who greatly loved him, went out
upon the lawn, and in his grief threw
himself down upon the earth under one
of the trees, weeping bitterly. Soon, when
he had sufficiently mastered himself, the
doctor came back to his patient, whom he
found calmly watching the congealing of
blood under his finger nails and speaking
words Of love and peace to his family,
who were weeping around his chair.
Among other things, he told that he was
thankful for that goodness of God. which,
having blessed him through all his life,
was then permitting him to die without
any pain. Finally, fixing his eyes with
much tenderness on his dear friend, DR..
Cabell, with whom he had formerly held
maHy arguments respecting the Christian
religion, he asked the doctor to observe
how great a reality and benefit that
religion was to man about to die.
And after Patrick Henry had spoken to
his beloved physician these words in
praise of something which, having never
failed him in all his life before, did not
then fail him in his very last need OF it,
he continued to breathe very softly for
some moments, after which they who
were looking upon him saw that his end
had come.

Never Sell Corn.
H. AInInAn Dnn.sn.Aan

When the agricultural editor came to
Iowa third of a century ago, there was
but little stock in the state, and about all
of the products of the farm were wheat
and corn, which had to be hauled so far
to market that if full prices were charged
for time and expenses, the proceeds
would not pay for marketing. Though
cramped then for means, as most farmers
were, and as large number are now, we
resolved, at the end of the third year,
never to sell bushel of corn or wheat,
except when it paid full price for pro
duction. We resolved that not another
bushel of corn should ever go off the
place unless it Melted so c. at the crib.
And we stuck to this resolution for twenty
years, raising every year enormous crops
of corn. This resolution created the ne
cessity of studying how corn could be
used to net the producer over so C. per
bushel. The problem was easily solved,
and grand success achieved. It is true
it required for few years of the closest
economy in family expenses, and the
wisest plans to stock the farm properly
with money. But these things can be
done, and our own books, as we'll as all
of our neighb 0rs, gave US credit for run
ming by this process. And any farmer
can do the same, with or without money
to start with. If any one were to ques-
ton II. G. Wheeler, who, it is understood,
is raising over 5000 bushels of corn per
year, he would inform you that every
bushel of his corn nets him over so C. per
bushel. And whenever you see any man
hauling his corn to railroad stations or
to town and selling it at reduced prices,
it is neither policy nor necessity that in
duces such suicidal policy, but the man
himself is scrub stock, degenerated,
dwindled in intellect and energy by thou
sands OF years of inbreeding and cross
breeding on the lowest grades of such
stock. No farmer should sell corn until
it brings remunerative prices, and firm
resolution to do this is one of the best
trust companies which are so prevalent
a trust which one man can rule, and by
which all men can win. And this is one
OF the kind of trusts which are legitj mate
and right.
