senate where he still ably represents his
state.
General P. M. Y. Young now resident of
Gainesville, Georgia, was born at Spartans-
vile, South Carolina, November, 1889, and
was educated at the Georgia military academy
and West Point. He joined the confederate
army as lieutenant and rose to the command
of cavalry division. He was, it was claimed,
by his friends, and he never seriously denied
it himself the youngest and handsomest
general in the Confederate army. He
was elected to congress in 1868, when it
was also claimed and with great show Of
truth, that he was the youngest and hand
soonest member of congress. He served for
three terms, showing a fair measure of ability
and strong social proclivities. Mr.. Cleveland,
in his first term, appointed General Young,
consul-general at st. Petersburg. Since his
return he has lived on his fine plantation near
Atlanta. One of the most honored citizens of
Atlanta is General Philip Cook, who was born
in TWiggs county, Georgia, in 1917. He
studied law at the University of Virginia, and
practised with success until the breaking out
OF the war. He entered the army as private

they must have known that we had been the
guests of the Blackfeet, they did not attempt
to modest US, but they told us that they were
going to destroy Whrlwind and ali his war

War is always cruel, but the cruelest part
of the Indians wars is that they regard the
women and children their foes quite as much
as they do the men, and they Kill them when
ever they can. 1t comforts me- as write
this, to know that the tribal wars are forever
over in the United States.
Now, it so happened that when the Crows
stole down by night on the chief camp of the
Blackfeet, Whirlwind was away with most of
his braves and warriors, so that there were
only boys and old men left to guard the
tepees. The gold hunters round feared a
battle, and all who knew the chiefs wife and
his lovely little daughter, were eager to save
them. 1t was this feeling that brought a
score or more white men down from the
hills, after we had seen by their camp fires
that the Crows were gathering for battle.
Itwas early in the morning, just as the sun
was rising, that we reached the place where
the Blackfoot camp ground had been under

General William Booth Talliaferro lives
near his birthplace in Gloucester, Yir-
ginia, where he was born December IS, 1925.
He was educated at Harvard and William
and Mary's colleges. In AZ he was appointed
captain of the 18th United States infantry,
but resigned after short service. In '81 he
was commissioned colonel Of the provisional
army of Virginia, and rose to the rank of
maior-general in '64. His military service,
while not brilliant, being largely of an execu-
tive character and confined to fixed posts,
was however, distinguished by fine Judgment
and unusual administrative ability. General
Tallieferro is man of fine literary tastes,
and has taken great interest in masonic
affairs, being at one time grand master of
the jurisdiction of Virginia. Although retir-
ing in disposition, General Taliaferro is
socially great fayorite and with u little
more self-assertion might have risen to any
position in his native state.
General Samuel Bell Maxey, now resident
of Paris, Texas, was born ct Tompkinsyille
Kentucky, March 80, 1925. He was educated
at West Point, graduating in '46, and was
assigned to the 7th infantry. He served with
great credit in the Mexican war, being pres
emit at all the battles from Vera Cruz to the
capture of the City of Mexico. He resigned
from the army in 40, studied law, and prac-
tieed in Texas until the breaking out of the
civil war. He raised the 9th Texas infantry
and was present at all the important battles
in the west, distinguishing himself particu-
1arly in the campaigns against Curtis and
Steele. He was elected to the senate in IA
and served till 81. He is pronounced free
trader, and his ability as statesman even

war.

sTwenty-two years ago, when first came
down to the South Sea Islands in New Bed

Fiji sugar planter, to me, sstwo-thirds of
the ships one saw in these waters foated the
American flag. The United States at that
time was in position to,control tho trade of

ing; but our people. have backed out. Why,
except on stray man7of-war one does not
sea the American flag in these waters from
one years end to the other. We still do
fair trade in missionaries, but in nothing
else"
My friend had been living in Fiji SO long
that he had no desire to return to the United
States. Yet there remained with him a spirit
OF patriotism that made him feel keeniy what
he considered the unnecessary disappear
ance of his country's flag from these profit
able waters.
Before starting out last year for tour
through the principal islands of the Pacific I
believed, and still believe, that knew far
more about the lands was going to than the
average American, yet here on the ground I
recognize not only the poverty of my infor-
nation as CLEANED from books of travel and
encyclopedias, but the entire inaccuracy of
the greater part of it. so that I find myself
forced to uniearn as well as learn.
In this remarkable Fiji group there are
some eighty inhabited islands. The area is
about 100000 of acres, the greater part ex-
ceedingly fertile aud the population numbers
100000. a tenth OF whom are of European de-
scent, principally English. Louka, the capt.
tai OF the islands, is an English town, with
daily paper and several weeklies, comfort
able theatre, a race track and the inevitable
cricket grounds.
The climate is not only heathful, but men
who have been living here continuously for
twenty years declare that it is the most salu-
brious country in the world, and that no man
coming here in ordinary health should die
under eighty unless he yields to the tempta-
ton OF French brandy or square face as

generally known in The United States that
our country was indirectly the cause of bring

In lS49 Lauka was a whaling station, and
there were fifty whites fhere, with an American
consul. On the 4th of July Of that year the con-

not know. for the color of the tribes feet,
like that of their faces, is much like that OF
the Sioux, the Snakes, the Crows and Pierce
Nozes. or Nez Perces, by whom they art,
surrounded.
The Blackfeet are to be found near the
frontier of British America, and along the
northwestern line of Dacota and Montana.
The men are very warlike and when not
fighting with the whites, this was many
years ago, they were sure to have quarrel
with some of their equally fierce neighbors;
so that there were always many widows and
orphans in the tribe.
twenty-five years ago Whrlwind was q
famous chief of the Blaekfeet. He was a
tall, slender man, with lowering black eyes,
and the 1.-the, graceful movements of a tiger
Most OF the savage chiefs, in those DAYS had
a number OF wives, but Whirlwind had only
one wife, her Indian name being s'Selink" or
the light that never dies and of her the chief
was so very fond that it tmight be said he
lived to make her happy, were it not that he
so loved his only child NOLAN the Waning
Twilight, who was about twelve years of
age.
The Blackfeet were at this time at peace
with the whites, else myself and my CON-
panlons who were out searching for gold,
would not have ventured into their hunting
grounds; but they were at war with the
savage Crows, and the Crows, may say were
very wild and quarrelsome people.
Whirlwind received us kindly, though we
were short Of provisions and few in number;
and he set aside tepee, or skin tent for our
use, and Nolan his pretty daughter delighted
to watch the white man, and one of our
number being sick, she brought him punches
OF wild flowers every day, with masses of
damp moss about their stems to keep them
fresh
never saw gazelle, but those who have
seen both say it is so like the antelope that if
together it would be difficult to tell them
apart. Poets write of 'eyes like gazette
and there must be a good reason for it, for
Molan's eyes were just like those of an ante
lope, SO large, dark, gentle and somewhat
sad were they. And never was antelope
more active and graceful, and her voice SO
low, and sweet, and soft, was quite in keep
ing with her appearance. Neither Nolan nor
the mother, whom she resembled, looked or
acted like the members of savage tribe:
they were models of all that was sweet and
kindly.
Now having said this, will tell you why;
have disliked and must continue to dislike
the Crows. As soon as our sick comrade got

RICHMOND, Va, April 13.-Judsing by the
surviving leaders of both armies, it would
seem that the confederates had many more
general officers than the union side. The
number of union troops enrolled from 1861
to 1865, many Of whom, of course, were REIN
hstments, was 2,772, 900, while the confeder-
ates, all told, had less than 10000. There
are living to-day ffty-one generals OF the
regular army, active or retired, and l4S major
and acknowledgements of volunteers. II the
officers on both sides We're proportional to
the troops, we should expect to have living
now about one-fourth the number of general
officers south that there are surviving of the
union army. AS a matter of fact, there are
all told, 1919 surviving union generals, and
100 confederates, which would go to show,
other things being equal, that the number Of
general officers in the southern army was
four times that of their opponents.
In previous articles, I have referred to
many prominent Southern leaders living at
this time in Washington or in the Northern
states 50 that in mentioning the others 1

The child did not look to be dead Tho

looked like pearls through the parting of the
