from Grodno, Russia, for two years. Their

WHERE THE GENERAL. WILL REST
Hundreds of people visited Calvary cemetery
at st. Louis yesterday to see the grave Of Mrs.
Sherman and the place for the interment Of the
general. The lot is located in the southeastern
section Of the cemetery, near the Florissant
avenue entrance, at the junction of the Walk of
the Holy Rosary, the Way Of Bethany and the
Way of the Dolor:: 1t is not fenced in. Around
its borders is fringe Of shrubbery and inside
the lot is carefully sodded. There are three
graves in the lot. On the southern side Mrs Sher-
mans grave is situated. At the head of the
grave there is q simple though beautiful monu-
ment. 1t is a cross Of grayish granite, about
fifteen feet high. On the front Of the heavy
granite pedestal is engraved, Eleanor Boyle
Evans Sherman. born at Lancaster, Ohio, Octo-
Der 4. 1924. Died at New York, November Is,
1888" ''In Thee, o God, have hoped"
Next to Mrs. Sherman monument is that of
her son: William I. sherman, jr., who died at
Memphis, October g. 1863 at the age of 9 years.
The tomb over the boys grave is Of white mar
bic and is engraved to represent crossed Tags
drum and the shield Of the Union On the

game, and Our little Sergeant Willie, from
First Battalion, Thirteenth States Infantry"

the court upon the persons pardoned WAS IL
legal Upon this point the attorney general of
the state fled his written opinion with our de-
cision. / am frank to say that have no regrets
for that vote, and would repeat il under the
same circumstances Even had not the sentence
been unlawful. II is my opinion that the ends of
justice had been fully served by the conviction
OF the defendants. One OF the gentlemen in
volyed has. within the last few weeks received
the unanimous thanks of the Pennsylvania leg
stature for important services rendered human
ity and the state.
Incidentally the statement has been made
that IL some unspeeiied manner procured or
attempted to procure the pardon OF a person
named Lynch. under sentence for forgery by
threats delivered personally to Mr. Byers OF
Ilttsburg. L cannot at this day remember the
facts or the tendency of the case. but the
charge is a lie. for which there never was the
shadow of foundation Equally false is the
wondrous lyric OF my escape from the Pitts

Men Who Get side Tracked.

Perhaps the most numerous class of men
who get side tracked are those who start in
life i'll an occupation for which they have no
natural aptitude There are thousands of
farmer boys who never should remain on the
tarm-the loud protestatiOns of the agricult-
ural press TO the contrary Notwithstanding
There are, doubtless, men who make a life
business Of stirring the soil when they
ought to be stirring the senate; and, on the
contrary, perhaps, there are men who are
trying to stir the senate who ought to be
stirring the soil Good business men are
frequently spoiled to make poor preachers;
and there are many large and heavy LAWYERS
who would make ideal blacksmiths: and
there are some slender and unsuccessful
blacksmiths with the keen logical brain and
the shrewd maSterful mind of the LAWYER.
Such men are side tracked for life, unless
there is some great event crosses their track,
such as crossed the track Of Grant the team
ster, or Cromwell the country squire. But
no doubt there are many Grants who ALWAYS
team, and many CrOmwells who never leave
the farm. There are many men who start
out in life, Ike hunters, on the wrong trail.
They never bring down their game because
their game has gone in another direction.
They are like fishermen who bob for cod in
trout brook, or start a-whaling on an III
land pond.
There are some men who are side tracked
for life at their very birth. They are born
into mesh of circumstances from which
there is no eXtrication. Of course it is easy
enough to say that a man, like water will
always find his level; but its hard for water
to rise plumb with its fountain head when
confined i'll an underground pipe 1t would
have been difficult for Shakespeare to assert
his claim to Immortality if he had been born
i'll Patagonia, and we would never have heard
of Plato if he had first seen the light in
Scythia To say nothing of the hereditary
influences that mold tie unborn man, the
environ .ent of the young humans infancy
usually shapes and directs his destiny, so irrev-
Ocably that only men of the strongest will
and he toughest mental and physical fiber
can ever counterfeit the impetus that is given
