II there is anything the chap on the
corner likes better than another it is to
have visit from an old war veteran.
Men who have fought, bled and died to-
gether enjoy meeting at stated intervals
to talk oyer old times and battles lie
had visit yesterday from one of those
SCARED men, who for the sake OF the
old flag, and this glorious country and
sl3 a month, stood up as a target fer
thousands OF blood thirsty Johnnies
We talked together over Balls Bluff,
Lookout Mountain and glass of water
and sandwich for more than an hour
by George Niblock's watch. The old
fellow knew the particulars rs well as il
he had read the latest school history.
The chap wanted to talk about Gettys-
burg because that was the one great
battle he was in and was posted about.
The wheat field, Missionary ridge, Gene
tary hill and all the rest Of the points.
He can tell YOU the relative positions of
Hancock's, Pickets, Reynolds and all
the rest OF the corps during the thickest
OF the fight. The old Vet. said he was
where the shot and shell fell thickest
yet he did not seem SO well posted as
the chap. But the old soldier was in
the army just the same. He must have
been or he could not have had the gall
TO go around taking orders for book Oh
the war. Only real live book agent
possesses cheek. After the solicitor for
the latest publication had departed from
the sanctum, it occurred to the chap
that the man might have been where
the shot were thickest by being under
the ammunition wagon. The chap does
not believe that the Vet. suspected that
all the information he possessed concern
ing Gettysburg was obtained through a
visit to the Cyclorama.

Didn't Look Like q Poet.

about twenty-five years ago was in
Boston one day, in a book store'-a
wretched day, rainy, sloppy and muddy
when I saw the striking figure of .
little man, wearing slouched hat, his
pantaloons rolled up, dashing along the
street. He looked as little like a.poet as
man could. turned to the bookseller
and asked him who that was. That is
Oliver Wendell Holiness he said. Well,
want to know that man; and I got to
know him, and we have been the best of
friends ever since. A more genial, gen.
uine, delightful man and finer eonver-
sationalist I never knew. A copy of
The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,
which he sentme, contains an interesting
letter, giving me his reasons for begin
ing the papers in the Atlantic Monthly,
which magazine he says he named.

than that of Emerson. He visited me,

serve my correspondence; much Of it,
doubtless, would be now of considerable
interest. George w. Childs.

It was in Indianapolis, or somewhere
around there. He was trusted clerk
in the bank, with all the usual Sunday
school connections and religious reputa-
ton. 1t was a big bank, where the direc-
tors took special note of character. The
cashier died and they gave him the va
cant post. Hewas a man of feeling and
had a great deal of poetry and originality
besides. He was deeply touched by the
death of his friend, whose place he took.
So he took a page of the cash book where
his friends accounts closed, ruled it
around in artistic style with broad bands
of black, and in the center he wrote a
beautiful, touching, poetic obituary,
which brought tears to the eyes of the
president and the board of directors.
They were deeply impressed. Later
there came little dispute between the
board and himself touching an extraor-
dinary difference in the balance between
what they thought it ought to be and
what he found it was. He left, and they
turned back to read that beautiful obit-
uary again. Opposite that feeling tribute
they found ON the first page of his career
two mistakes which were much against
the bank and to the cashiers advantage.

HELENA, Mont. July s.-The Belt
mountains have always been the seat
of mysterious stories, and IN their num-
erOus gulches and canons have been
picked up wonderful relics. Among
the most curious are agatized human
maxilIaries and teeth. all of gigantic
size. Gold in quantities has been found
and rubies, sapphires and diamonds are
shown az products Of the territory. A
gold hU tier tells a remarkable story,
accompanied by. numerous attesta-
tions to its truth. While prospecting
in the mountains he found a peculiar
depression in the ground. After ex-
cavating he discovered a mysterious
cavern, reached by 23steps. -.rr
'At the foot of the stairs" says he,
ION one side of the passage lay the
skeleton Of man of immense statue,
measuring exactly nine feet six inches
in height. The skull lay a few inches
from the trunk, and between the two
lay q nuggets. They were strung on a
fine gold wire, and ranged from one tn
ten ounces In weight. Around the
thigh, arm and shin bones were other
strings of nuggets, none Of which
weighed more than four ounces. There
were about Is pieces of gold in the pile,
On each side of the skull | found some
sort Of precious stones In q tiny golden
basket that were evidently wsrn in the
ears as an ornament. Beside the trunk
of the skeleton was a copper ak with an
edge harder and keener than any steel
instrument. On the opposite side was
club made of the same material as the
ak, shaped not unlike base ball bat.
Under the trunk was gold plate ten
inches long, six inches wide and one
eighth of an inch thick, covered with
strange devices. A little further on lay
another skeleton, that of a woman.
Every now and then / came to other
skeletons, and by nearly every one of
them l found neclaces made of round
copper balls. These caticombs are
about 800 feet long, IA feet wide and 80
high, and seem to have been cut out Of
the solid rock. At the end of the gallery Is
a room go feet square and 40 high. There
are steps cut in the rock leading to the
top of the hall where stands block of
granite ten feet long, four wide and
three high. This is followed out in

THE CABINET LOOKING H1MuP
The worlds Fair in 1902.
Philadelphia Bulletin.

The proposition that an international
exposition shall be held In this country
In 1892 is one that needs to be, prompt
ly considered. 1t was more than four
years before the opening of the Centen-
nial Exhibition in 1876 that Philadel-
phia led the way in preparing for that
event, and experience showed US that
the work was not begun too soon. II,
therefore, the four hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery of America by
Columbus is to be celebrated by the
holding of a display of industry and art
which shall be worthy Of the great Oc-
casiOn, there ought to be an immediate
beginning Of preparations. The organi-
zation of q worlds fair, even with all
our facilities for communication and
travel. is still an undertaking of vast
proportions. To enlist the interest of
the civilized world, to obtain the CO.
operation Of foreign governments, to
attact the attention of exhibitors, to
raise the necessary money, and to con-
struct the mammoth buildings that will
be required, will certainly be an enter
prise which will admit Of no delays
within period Of only three years. As
NO definite plans have yet been formed
or even suggested beyond the merest
outlines. It will not be out of place now
to say that serious mistake will be
made II the city OF Washington should
be chosen for such an exhibition. 1t is
lacking in nearly all the important
things that are requisite to the success Of
an international fair. 1t has no steam
ships; its railroad facilities are inade-
quate; its hotel accommodations are
comparatively neagre; its leading citi-
zens are not as a rule merchants or man
ufacturers or men accustomed to taking
hold Of enterprises on \ large scale; its
whole population is not SO great as the
crowd which one day visited the Centen-
nial Exhibition

A False Fisherman.

Quite an idea upon the plan and pur-
pose of fishing came to light at Vienna
last week, when fellow went fishing
down on Gum creek. After selecting q
nice, shady place and comfortable seat,
he threw his hook into the stream and
took from his pocket a newspaper and
was soon lost in its columns. Directly
his cork began to bobble, then strong
pull from the water caused the cork to 60
clear under the water. Deliberately lay
ing his paper aside, he picked up his pole
and, as aeS began to wind up his Ene, re-
marked that a man ceuldn't fish.in peace
there, and he was going home. Macon

Life .. sandringharn.

Nothing can be happier and more
peaceful than the life at Sandringham,
and whether alone or entertaining their
friends, the Prince and Princess of Wales
are an ideal host and hostess. They do
net, as rule, appear at breakfast; but
shortly after II they come down and
spend the rest of the day with their
guests. In winter luncheon is generally
taken at some cottage near where skat-
ing is going on, and the princess and the
guests join the skaters and walk with
them after luncheon is over. Tea is al
ways ready in the hall at s, and every
one appears, the men in velvet suits and
knicierbockers. and the ladies in tea
gowns Dinner is ats, and the evening
is passed either in dancing or games, and
about 10 the prince and princess give
the signal for retiring, and those who go
to bed early can get to rest; but the ma
jority Of the guests go to the smoking
room till an early hour in the morning.

The German nation may be thankful
to the German army for other reasons
than simply the defense Of the father
land, according to Gen. Lord Wolseley.
He writes: "I take the German army, as
the highest existing type Of the military
system and organization, which the
changes effected in armies by the French
revolution have led up to; and much as
I admire that army as soldier admire
it still more as a citizen. Great as it is
for war, it is infinitely greater as a ma
tional school for the moral, mental and
physical training of the people. Design
ed exclusively for war, it has become
the most important of peace institutions.
In it all Germans are trained to strength
and taught the first principles Of personal
cleanliness and Of health. There they
learn to be honest and manly, and are
taught the excellence of those virtues
which serve to make men good subjects
and law abiding citizens. 1t the school
