paper bearing the inscription, I" Must Always
Love My Mother" He bad begun each word
with a capital to show more clearly his accom-
plishment in that direction.
But Tony's mother was i'll to-day-ill with
something that had an unpleasan t-sounding g
name, and Tony was to share Karl LanZbergs
room on the floor below.
If it had not been for the German young
man, Karl Lanzberg, what would be have
done? Karl had come as a revelation to him
months before. grown-up man was lie, 81
years old, at least; aud he could play on the
violin wonderfully. He taught the people
piano. too, when he could. He had even taught
Tony himself until the little old instrument
he brought when he came disappeared mystic

long pieces" which he got Tony 10 copy for
him sometimes, since he had discovered the boy
to be one of quick intelligence aud observant
industry.
Just now while Tony was scratching

his work. interspersing these directions with
stars, as Karl had done, he meditated upon the
improvement that had taken place in his life
since the young musician had come to live on
the second floor.
Under the influence of his remarks Tony's
eyes had been opened to some of the possibili-
ties as well as the evils of existence.
With that precocity which poverty some

Just as he laid down his pen, in the twilight,

Karl. THAT is done with a crank, and it is

Thus did Tony first assume the obligations of
composition. He had never thought seriously
of being composer before. With those words,
a new idea arose before him, dim and beauti-
ful. He loved music-of course. He had
even, long ago. before Karl came, listened to
this selfsame hand-organ with respectful curl
osity. Karl had praised his first efforts on that
piano which had been vanished from some
strange necessity.
What if he, Tony, could be real musician
some day and earn money? 1t seemed TO him
very easy life, pleasanter than most. 1t

in hand at this point, and will send the boats
down for you"
When the gray streaks of dawn appeared on
the morning of April 6. 1862. Ammen's Bril-
gade heard with awe the sounds of cannon at
Shiloh, and at once prepared to move. Orders
coming, the brigade proceeded on its weary and
distressing march through swamps toward the
field of battle.
In crossing the river at Pittsburg Landing
Col. Ammen experienced great difficulty in
controlling his men, who were as yet untried
in hot engagements, and who were on the verge
of desertion at the sight of thousands of de-
moralized men, who hovered beneath the river
bank in their efforts to escape the shot that
fell like rain from heaven.
With unusual GOODNESS and tact Col Ammen
landed his entire force, and marched to the re-
lief of Buell's shattered army, where he was
soon engaged in deadly combat. Following a
night of drenching rain the siege was resumed
at daybrealx and after one of the bloodiest con-
tests of the rebellion the day was saved for the
Union cause. Col. Ammen was ordered to
move towards Corinth April 10, and partiei-
pated later in the engagement at that point.
During the months Of July and August, 1862,
Col Ammen served On a court-martai In which
Gen. Garfield was presiding officer, and upon
the recall of the latter to Ohio he was promoted
to the vacancy. On the 10Th day of July, 1862,
Col Ammen was commissioned by President
Lincoln Brigadier-G General 81 for valuable serv-
ices on the march to and gallant conduct IN the
battle of Pittsburg Landing"
When Gen. Nelson was ordered to Louisville,
Aug II, Gen. Ammen was placed in command
of the Fourth Division, with headquarters at
McMinnville, Tenn. He accompanied Gen.
Buell. in his pursuit of Bragg as far as Louis
Vile, after which he returned to Cincinnati to
enter the hospital. After his recovery he was
assigned to duty at Camp Dennison, o.; Camp
Nelson, KY, and Camp Douglas, Ill. He was
then placed in command of the District of Hi
nois, with Headquarters at Chicago, his term of
service expiring here Dec Is, 1863.
During the nine months ending Jan. Ia, 1865,
Gen. Ammen remained at Knoxville, Tenn, in
command of the Fourth Division of the Twenty
third Corps, the date above given being that
upon which he resigned from his country's
service. Though always present in the thiekest
of the fight he returned from the war without
scratch, never even having his horse shot be-
meath him.
Immediately following this he took up his
residence at Wyoming, one mile from where he
now lives, and at once opened an Office in Gin
cinnati as an engineer. In 1869 he was elected
Surveyor aud Engineer of Hamilton County,
serving three years, when he removed to Belts
ville Md, 12 miles from Washington. ID. c.
Hero he purchased plantation. upon which he
continued to reside till his return to Ohio. four
years ago.
Gen. Ammen was deputed In 1874 by the
Secretary of War to accompany the Isthmus of
Panama Commission On their tour of examina-
tion into the different canal routes proposed.

In the following year he was appointed by
President Grant member of the Board Of
Visitors to West Point
It is believed that Gen. Ammen was at time
of his death the oldest living General of the
late war, and though well on to 90 years of age.

event its composition was in one life, at least.
Now, it came to be written in this wise:
Antonio Giuseppe Monaldi was copying
music by the window. 1t was very late in the
afternoon-a November afternoon-and tie
twilight, like charity, was beginning to cover
a multitude of sins, including the defects in
Antonio's penmanship
Antonio, be it understood, was not a virtuoso,
but boy IL years old, and as for the music, he
was copying that for the German young man
on the next floor. These IL years in the mind
of Antonio (or Tony, as his American mamma
called him) formed series of dim and discOm-
fortng recollections, the Winters being very
dsagreeable and the Summers even more so.
Tony's father, poor Italian, had died when
Tony was baby, leaving him nothing but a
long name, some cheap tobacco and tiny
silver image OF the Madonna-on brass chain.
Tony's mother was a patient, tired'looking
woman, who spent half of her time, when she
was not washing clothes. wondering how she
had ever happened to marry Monaldi, and the
other half teaching Tony to read and write.
That she performed the latter part quite
creditaby was proved by the fact that Tony,
at the age Of nine, had presented her with

Are You Ready to Give Thankst


 The past year has been pretty hard one for most folks; but, with it all, every one, if he will think the matter over calmly, has some one thing, if no more, to be truly thankful for this Thanksgiving, be it only that things are not worse. Those who have not yet made up their minds what they have tO be thankful for should Ield the symposium in Demorests Nigga zine for November, in which num- Der of well-known people give their answers to the question, "What Have We tD Give Thanks Fora" The an- swcrs are characteristic, and will set every reader "a-thinkin'."
 And this is truly q specially inter- esting number. The article on "Tbe Queen of Korea" gives us glimpses of many unique things behind the scenes in the palaces of ''the hermit king dom." An article on Harvest Dec Orations," for churches, will be found very useful at the Thanksgiving season.

Recent discoveries have demonstr rated that all the organs of the body are under the com trOl of the nerve ccnters, located In or near the base of the brain and thatwhen these are deranged the organs which they supply with nerve fluid arc also deranged. When 1t is re- mcmbcred that a serious injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis of the body below the Injured point, because the nerve force Is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyZed portion, it will be understood how the dcrangcmgnt of the nerve centerS will cause the deraugcmont of the various organs which they supply with neryc force.
 TwO-thirdS of chronic diseases arc due to tue imperfect action of the nerve centers ut ment primarily originating in the organ it. treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers which are the cause of the trouble,
 DR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe- cialiSt, has profoundly studied this subject for over 20 years, and has made many important discoveries in cOnncG tion with 1t, chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong.

The attention of the readers of this column is called to an extract, pub blished this week, from the report of Governor L. c. Hughes to the Sec retary of Interior, for the year ending June 30, 1894 Friends of the tenn perance cause may indeed feel en- couraged by this report, for the facts and estimates given are official and are not to be ignored; nor can they be deprived of their force iu this instance by mere denial. Following the dis cussion under this department in the last two issues, the report is especially forcible as proving the position taken with reference to our local interests in its application to the territorial economy.

On the liquor traffic Gov. Hughes says: "There are 672 saloons and ten wholesale liquor houses in Arizona
 The average number of inmates of the territorial asylum during the year was 97. The average number of the in- mates of the territorial prison was 155.
 It has been estimated by competent authority that Arizona's drink bill for the year was $3, ,056, 900, and this does not include the cost of punishment of crime resulting directly from the drink evil, nor the cost of maintaining those same victims in the jailS and peniten- tiary, nor the victims of drink in our insane asylums and the county hospi- tals. It is estimated that not less than fifty per cent of the cost of main. taining the county and territorial gov ernments come from iutemperance.
 The magnitude of this traffic can be faintly realized when it is illustrated by the fact that the people of the ter ritory in nine years pay for drink the assessed value of all real and personal property, the annual drink bill for the territory being $j0,000 more than its entire debt, including the debt of the counties and municipalities, which is S3l 100000. And this is not all, for the cost of maintaining the municipal, county and territorial governments would be SO reduced as a result of the decrease of crime from the drink evil that the tax burdens of our people would be lcsseued one-half.
