AnecdOto of General Polk.

A good story is told of Bishop-then
Lieutenant General-Polk of the Confed-
crate army and another general whom we
will call Blank. During the Georgia cam
paign and not long before General Polk
was killed at Pine Mountain he requested
General Blank to accompany him to hill
in front of the lines which commanded an
excellent view of the position Of the oppos-
ing Federal forces.
The figures of the two officers outlined
upon the sky as they stood upon this emf
hence offered tempting mark for some
Federal gunners, and in a few moments
both lay on the ground, stunned and sense
less from the effect Of Federal shells. The
fortunes of war had brought together a
most distinguished churchman and one of
the bravest and most trusted of Forests
officers. The latter, however, was not at
the time noted for extreme piety, which
fact the good bishop knew and regretted. =
The two officers lay stunned for several
minutes. General Blank was the first to
recover. In few minutes he heard Gen
eral Polk mutter:
20 Lord, where am I, where am I?'
General Blank, keenly alive to a sense
of grim humor, whispered gently:
'In hell, general"
"Impossible!" murmured the semicon-
scious Polk. "Who is it that tells me sof"
SIT Is l, General Blank, solemnly re-
sponded that practical joker.
20 Lord" groaned the good bishop,
shave mercy on me! If Blank is here, I
know it must be truel'-Blue and Gray.

Where Are the Great Men?

There are not great number of really
great men as the term is understood now
taking part in the worlds affairs.
Let any one sit down and attempt to
write the names of 100, or even 90, really
great men who are alive, and they will
see how difficult it is. When the question
"Who is the greatest living mani" was
brought up at an evening party some time
ago the prevailing answer was Gladstone,
while some said Bismarck. When the
question is changed and put in the form
Of "Who is the greatest living American
or the greatest man In the United States?"
1t becomes even more difficult, barring,
Of course, one pre-eminent name. Edison
looms up in the elements that belong to
greatness, but it is apparent that during
the last IS years the generals, the states
men, the scholars and poets, the scientists
and reformers, and even the men of for
tune, like Vanderbilt, Aston and Gould,
who have attained distinction, have been
disappearing from the scene. The New
York Sun contends that there are as many
great men in the world az ever. Doubt
less there are men who might prove great

was rolled over before the wayside sum-
mons was generously repeated.
"Quick, now, sergeantP said the senior
paymaster.
''Don't know, major" he replied.
"That fellows away into the swamp.
He's got under cover. couldn't even find
him. Risk it, boys, risk 1t! Run her
ahead. They can't hit us if they do fire."
"Haltv' came warningly out of the
blackness as the hand car dashed forward,
and with it came thunder that sounded
like rattle Of musketry.
"They didn't work their joke this time,
major" said the sergeant.
"There's more than that in it," said
the major. "I'm glad we're past that
PICKET, but Pm afraid we're running into
trouble. They may have surprised More
head City and the fort"
"Reckon not, major. Run her your level
best, boys. We won't halt again for any
body"
That was brave talk, but in less than 20
minutes he exclaimed:
"Hold on, boys! That picket is right
on the track. Stop her for your lives"
They did so as an ominous and menace
ing throat repeated:
"Haltl HaltH' And from the rear at

"I'm afraid they have" groaned the
major, "money and all, and we're on our
way to Wilmington"

time" squeaked the paymaster's clerk.
The sergeant ran ahead along the track
until he missed his footing in the dark
and went off into grimy depth Of water
and black mud just as somebody said:
"Who's therep" and he was trying to
respond:
"Friend with the countersign."
His mouth had too much In it for sue
cess, and once more he used strong and
very volcanic expressions as soon as his
vocal organs were at work again. Then
We heard him say:
"Come along, boysl There isn't any
body here, and the waters six inches deep
over the track"
TWAS doleful mystery, and the chance
of being fired into grew grisly enough as
the car was obviously urged forward.
The flerceness of the storm diminished,
and then, with great gust of wind from
Cape Hatteras, it ceased. More wind came
and swept away the clouds. The moon
came out gloriously, and at that very mo-
ment the paymaster's clerk exclaimed:
"Quick, sergeantl They could see to
shoot now!''
"Haltl Come along! Got 'em, got 'em
now! Bully! Better mount, better mountW
That was what it sounded like, but the
sergeant exclaimed

Carew's spacious hall was filled from

The camp fire was gotten up by Custer
Camp, Sons of Veterans, in honor to
the old veterans of Wallace T. Rines
Post. J.K. Mertz, assistant adjutant
general Of Minneapolis, was introduced
by Comrade T. II. Galley. In his hours
speech, he presented many important
points relative to the conditions of the
Grand Army of the Republic that
should receive the careful attention of
every old soldier and every good citi-
zen. Space forbids an enumeration of
the many terse things set forth by the
speaker. It was an address full of
patriotic sentiment and fully appre-
ciated by the several hundred people
who filed the hall. At the close of the
speech the guests repaired to G.. A. r.

That State Auditor Biermann

Gen. Becker, the Democratic can
didate for governor, is patent to
the most casual observer. If any
proof we're needed, it is furnished
in an article which appeared in the
Minneapolis Penny Press Of Oct.
10Th:
State Auditor Biermann has adyices
from all over the State confirming the
reports of the slump of the Scandina-
Wan voters from Nelson to Owen.
Among Mr.. Biermann's reports is that
Renville county is estimated to go for
Owen by from 500 to 600. Nelson car
ried this county two years ago by 22O
over Donnelly. Mr.. Biermann also
has an estimate on Polk county, made
by c. Rydal, editor of the Red River
Doleo, and which is in part based on a
township canvass. It says that Owen
will get from 1900 to 400 votes in
Polk, out of an estimated total of 6, 100.

The lumber barons are moving
heaven and earth to defeat Gov.
Nelson and R. c.. Dunn at the en-
suing election. Why? Because
Dunn investigated and Gov. Mel
son prosecuted the case against G..
A. Smith & Co. The opposition
of the Minneapolis lumber barons
accounts for the sudden flop of the
Thinning. Smith ct al. have
no love for S. M. Owen, but
they detest and fear honest Knute
Nelson. Had Gov. Nelson shirked
the duty imposed upon him by the
legislature, the lumber barons
would have been his most enthus-
iastic supporters. The pine gang
is not fighting Nelson and Dunn
openly; they are doing their dirty
work secretly. The pine grabbers
know full we'll that their open op-
position would defeat their pur-
pose. -ss

The Republicans of Wabasha
county have nominated Hon. AL
len j. Greer, of Lake City, as
their candidate for State senator.
Mr.. Greer served in the house in
1891 and again in 1898. In both
sessions he was considered leader
and had a larger personal follow
ing than any other member. AS a
lawyer he ranks high in his pro-
fession. He was one of the few
lawyers in the house in 1898 who
stood faithfully by Judge Fleming
and R. G. Dunn in their unequal
fight against the pine land thieves.
Mr.. Greer, from a legal stand
point maintained that ''private
sales'' Of public timber were not
countenanced by law, and he
argued we'll and ably in favor of
the minority report. His stand
on that question alone should in
sure his election to the senate by

connection with any Of the cases

not been for Governor Nelson the

resolution; Auditor Biermann, on

to allow the appropriation; Gov.
Nelson came to the rescue of the
