Soldiers Who Fave Gene Into Certain Bat
ties Perfectly Conscious Of Their Fate.
"Soldiers had strange prelnonitions Of
death before going into battle during
the war; said an old soldier. II could
not tell you how many times I have seen
my comrades foretell their death. They
scented to feel it va coming and went
into battle fully prepared to meet their
end. So common Was this, and SO regu-
larly did death follow when fcretold, that
/ often heard officers upbraiding their
men for speaking of death, remarking:
a MA never speaks OF a fear Of death
without death following shortly after.
It's like the siaaflpoz; the one that
breads it most is SURE to be the first VIC
tim But the Officers were reasoning
backward. In all the cases [ saw the pre-
diction of death was caused by an in
ward feeling, telling that his end was
near.
lit wasn't fear. for remember Boss
Mcclellan, as we used to call him, who
came from Butler county. He had been
a brave soldier, serving his full three
years, never once falling i'll his duty.
The day before his three years were up
he went into the battle Of the Wilder
ness. He was so pale and carey;orn and
lacked SO much the usual vigor with
which he entered battle that some Of
his friends remarked how changed he
was. He looked like - ghost and was
trembling all over. They asked him
what was the matter. Why he re-

betting him that it was only a morbid

liven him. He went into the battle and

he was born in 1894. When in his
prime, he measured s feet 2 inches

FRENCH ART or TODAY.

Only the Genius Of the People Keeps It
From Hopeless Debasement.
For years all the art roads have led to
Paris. It is today the center Of the art
world, a model Of taste, skill and knowl-
edge as well as u hotbed Of eccentrici-
ties, mannerisms, stilted a~ffectations
and small ~trickeries. 1t takes in the
world, takes credit for all its virtues
and is saddled with all its vices. 1t Is
ruled by the Quips and cranks of what
at times seems outrageous fortune; it is
magniied and belittled; it is over
praised and underpraised; itseems to be
rising to lofty heights at times and then
again to be sinking into the miro. 1t is
at once the best and the worst art CEN
ter in the world, a crucible where all
elements mix. all become alleged, and
yet all average up q respectable grade
of amalgam. That which keeps it from
hopeless debasement is the art genius Of
the French people. Has that art genius
eve reached is apogee? Has it fulfilled
its mission and voiced the finer feelings
of France, as painting once did in Italy
and Spain? Did we accept the exhibit
at the Worlds fair as a criterion we
might think her day was about finished,
that her artists had said all there was
for them to say, but the representation
was inadequate.
Tho French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiness displayed there, for
all the studio recitation, all the exag-
gerated realism, all the tawdry senti-
ment, and yet at heart they have little
sympathy with them. The academic
was foisted upon them early III life by
the example of Italy and the misdirect-
cd energy of royalty. Poussin or Lcbrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy up
held the academic because it smacked
of heroism and the empire because it
fostered the military spirit, but the re-
public has barely tolerated it, and the
radicals have always hated it. 1t is the
bette noir of French art, against which
there has been a long series of revolu-
lions. Why. if not that it fails to repre-
sen the French? They are fond enough
Of talking about such loyalists as Pous-
sin, David, Ingres and Cabanel, but the
men they love are the rebels, Vatican,
Fragonard, Delacroix, Millet, Corot,
Courbet. The vivacious, the decorative,
the emotional, the sentimental, the posi-
tive-all these they love because they
are national characteristics, but the
mock heroic, the grandiloouent, the
bombastic, have been more the result OF
foreign imitation than the outcrop of
French feeling. John C. Van Dyke in
