before the stcFming Of Fort Sumter.
''Folks thought he was crazy" said the
old lady, laughing. Another interesting
document IL . proclamation issued Jam
uaIy s, 1868, in which General Milroy
gave notice Of the freedom to slaves pro-
claimed by President Lincoln Eve days
before, and declaring his intention to en-
force the edict. On the margin Of this
paper are q few lines In pencil telling
Dear Mary" what an excitement this
publication had created among the ''F.
+. VS." One paper bore the startling,
Hail to the Chiefp It was . call on
the loyal citizens Of Indiana 10 turn out
and welcome back the "Old Grey Eagle"
to the home Of his boyhood, dated No
vember IL, 1868. By the way, this title,
which has always chung to him, was first
bestowed by member Of his regiment,
distinguished lawyer.
Three other swords are among the
relics. One presented by the loyal Citi-
zens Of Shelbyville and Bedford county,
Tennessee, February %, 1856, bears on its
blade the words, ''Be Just and 'ear not. I"
Another was presented Eat Winchester,
Va, March, 1858, by the officers Of his
command. Last Is the sword In q huge
iron scabbard, presented in April, 1851,
by Governor o. P. Morton, which was
carried in twenty-one battles.
Like all heroes. the General had his
worshipen who showed their devotion by
naming their children for him. One
couple living in Telahoma, Tenn. not
only named their baby boy for him, but
presented him, in honor thereof, with q
pair Of handsome silver spurs, each set
with four caTbuncles. Another gift pre-
sented on such an occasion was two nests
Of mocking birds. Last Of these treas
ures that will mention was q curious
little Gag, knit Of red, white and blue
yarns by the Generals only daughter,
long since dead. Before leaving the sub
Jet, must speak Of the old, iron-gray
war horse, Jasper, which carried General
Mihoy through 30 many battles. It was
presented to him, at the opening Of the
war, by the citizens Of Jasper county,
Indiana. In the midst Of q great con-
course Of people at indianapolis, the pre-
sentation speech was delivered by "big
tall Methodist minister" who quoted
that stirring passage from Job, "He
smelleth the battle from affair."" etc. At
the battle Of Cross Keys, Jasper was
wounded, and ever after could not bear
the sound Of musketry. He died only q
short time since ct the old home in Indi-
ana. And now that those active and
eventful years are over, the hero Of two
wars and many battles, with his life's
companion by his side, Is passing through
quiet and peaceful years upon our placid
shores. A man Of unreproachable integ-
rity and undaunted courage, stern but
kind, enthusiastic to rashness, and mod
est TO timidity,-all honor to the "Old
Grey Eagle Of Indiana. Seattle Budget.

MADE Gigantic Strides and Forced
the Notice Of the world.
The first white man who probably saw
what is now Washington territory was
Juan de Fuca, q Greek navigator, who, in
the year 1902, sailed In q Spanish vessel
from San Bias, Mexico, to fOrtiiy the sup
posed straits Of "Anian," an imaginary
channel connecting the Atlantic and Pa
ci6c oceans, 90 as to prevent the English
from passing through this channel from
one ocean to another. The northwest
passage having turned out to be a myth,
the country ceased to attract further at
tention, and 1t was nearly two hundred
years before the eye Of white man rested
upon these shores. In July, 1776, Cap
tain Cook made Point Flatte.y, and in
June, 1888, Captain Mears Of the British
navy made limited reconnaissance Of the
straits Of Fuca, and from that time until
1906 number Of exploring expeditions
by sea were made by celebrated naviga-
tors, including Vancouver, although moth
ing was seen Of the interior. In the latter
year the American exploring expedition
followed the Columbia river to its head
waters in the Rocky mountains, arriving
at its mouth at Cape disappointment in
November, 1905, after a hazardous Jour
ney Of 800 miles through an unknown
hostile Indian country, The country
being thus visited and reported on by En-
gIish and American explorers, both coun-
tries claimed sovereignty over the great
northwestern domain, the conflict being
temporarily adjusted in 1918 by a treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain permitting a joint occupation by
citizens Of both nations. Up to 1884, the
Hudson Bay Company and Northwest
Company, both British corporations, con-
tinued practically in possession Of the ter
ritory. In 1884 the missionary settle
ments from the United States commenced;
in 1871 Captain Wilkes surveyed the coast,
