Great excitement has been created

PASSING OF THE sLUGGER,

The new SOUTH was given
material aid when the govern
ors of Texas and Arkansas
placed themselves squarely
and successfully against the
prize fight. As a matter of fact,
Governors Cnlherson and
Clarke have probably pnt an
end to prize fighting not only
within their own states, but as
well in other states of the union.
1t is not probable that there
will ever be another prize fight
such as the Corbett-Sullivan
smuggling match, and it will be
a part of the best history of OUT
country that Clark and Culber-
son, two of the young chief
magistrates of the new south, -
had a great deal TO do with the
determination of this disgrace
ful sport.
1t was a great work. That
sport should be stamped out of
cities and the slugger should
be sent to the rock pile.

have improved their condition

United States the smuggling
match is not Observation-Disclosures

SAW SHOULDER STRAPS.
Story of Lieut.. P-eston's Heroism at Stand
ing Rock.


do you know Lieut.. Guy Preston?"
asked an army officer stopping at the
Windsor. mo? Well, he's a good fell
low. You want to cultivate him if he
ever strays this far away from his sta
ton at Fort Robinson.
II know a fairly good story about
him, if you care to have it.
HE was one of the younger class of
second lieutenants that came into the
northwest just before the Indian
troubles which eliminated in the fight
at Wounded Knee. Preston had been
assigned to duty in the Ninth cavalry,
the black regiment you know, and
those negro soldiers had a pretty strong
doubt about his heroic qualities.
But he gathered his men, according
to orders, when the hostiles were
rounded up there at Standing Rock,
and held one side of the square which
inclosed the warlike and dangerous
band of savages. The Indians had
come out of their tents with their
blankets around them, and their lead
ers declared that they were unarmed,
and that they wanted to talk The
negro cavalrymen dismounted, and,
'restingat-will,' were inclined to wan
der about rather more than was agree
able to Prestons tidy West Point ideas,
and he hauled them back INTO line.
They looked at his jaunty uniform,
and almost wished they might see him
in real trouble, just for the pleasure of
testing him.
''Well, the Indians got to the middle
of the horseshoe-like Enclosure of
troops, and then at a given signal by
their chiefs they threw off their blank
cts, and each one was seen armed with
rifle, Ratchet and scalping-knife.
They fired point blank at close range
and with deadly effect at the soldiers.
OF course you know the story of the
battle. That is tale that is told
1.-THE attack was so sudden and I'M
expected that the soldiers were thrown
into confusion, and they turned and
ran to cover. 1t was the worst possible
thing, but the first thing that suggest
ed itself to the imperiled men.
only Lieut. Guy Preston, the youth
full West Pointer, looking around at
that savage band of murderers, caught
sight of the gold bars on his shoulder
straps-the insignia of rank in the
army of the nation. And the thought
came to him: / can't run away carry
ing that And he halted, turned,
called back his men and formed the
first line, which repulsed the Indians
and finally conquered them.
Maybe it isn't as much of story as
it seemed at the beginning, and yet
have always thought it was well illus
trative Of the view an army officer
must take of his position. He cannot
carry the proofs of that position-the
evidences of trust reposed in him by
his country-he cannot carry that in
sigma to dishonor"-N Y Herald

NAPOLEON'S DREAM.
He Longed to Follow in the Footsteps of
Alexander the Great.

Bonaparte was child of the Medi-
terranean. The light of its sparkling
waters was ever in his eyes, and the
fascination of its ancient civilizations
was never absent from his dreams of
glory. His proclamations rang with
classic illusions, his festivals were
adorned with classic ceremony. In in
fancy he had known of Genoa, the
tyrant of his island, as strong in
the splendid commercial enterprises
which stretched eastward through the
Levant, and beyond into the farther
orient; in childhood he had fed his
imagination on the histories of AleXan-
der the Great, and his conquest of orr
entail empires; in youth he had thought
to find an open door for his ambition,
when all others seemed closed, by TAX
ing service with England to share the
renown of those who were building up
her eastern empire. Disappointed in
this, he turned with the same lack of
success to Russia, already England's
rival on the continent of Asia.
1t is perfectly comprehensive that
throughout his early manhood his
mind should have occasionally revert
ed to the same ideals. The conqueror
of Italy and Austria might hope to
realize them. Was he not master of
the two great maritime common
wealths which had once shared all
eastern trade between them? En-
glands intrusion upon the Mediterra-
mean basin was a never-ceasing irrita-
ton to all the Latin powers. Her
commercial prosperity and her mastery
of the seas aggravated the eXaspera-
ton of France, as threatening
even he. equality in their an
cient rivalry. From the days of the
first crusade all Frenchmen had felt
that leadership in the reconstruction of
Asia belonged to them by virtue of
preoccupation. Ardent republicans.
moreover, saw Frances mission incom-
plete in the liberalizing of the CONT
nent, and the department of marine
under the directory stamped its paper
with the motto: Liberty of the Seas.
Imaginative forces, the revolution
airy system, and the national ambition
all combined to create ubiquitous en-
thusiasm for the conquest of the Medi-
terranean. To this the temperament
and training of Bonaparte were as the
spark to the finder. 1t was with will
ing ears that the directory heard his
first suggestions about the Venetian
ISLES, and subsequently his plans for
the capture of Malta, which was to be
followed by death blow to England's
supremacy in the seizure of Egypt and
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Turkey. Prof.

The class had talk on doves the
day before, and now they were telling
all they knew about that bird OF
peace. One little fellow, however, who
had been absent for some days, had no
word to contribute, and deeply did he
feel the humility of his position.
A great deal had been said, and yet
no one had mentioned the doves plum
age, and the teacher began to lead up
to that topic.

GRACE IN NOTE WRITING.



Among Bright Women.
Note writing should belong particu-
larly to modern times, and ought to
reach its highest degree of perfection
in these days, when a couple of hasti-
ly written pages take the place of the
old-fashioned letter, which, it must be
confessed, was sometimes just little
wearisome to read-especially when
the writer felt a conscientious obliga-
ton to fill certain number of sheets.
II will now" said a dear, old-fash-
Toned letter-writer, after she had i'm
parted all the news she could think of,
and had still several pages to write to
fill up her quota, proceed to make a
few remarks about patience" and
we can fancy what good, sound moral
advice she gave, and the praises she
bestowed upon that excellent virtue.
Children's notes are sometimes very
funny in their directness. II do not
want to go to your party, thank you,"
was the answer written by little
girl to her friends invitation, ex-
pressed, as she thought, with perfect
politeness; and the mother, rather
than tan.pe: with the child's sense of
honesty, by an explanation which she
was too young to understand, let her
send the note uncorrected. Facility of
expression and readiness of 6iction
should receive particular attention in
a schools curriculum, and practice
notes on every imaginable subject
should be constantly written.
The fashionable handwriting of the
day appears also to be in a transition
period. The sharp English hand of
decade or two ago has given place to a
notwithstanding, round chirography,
that in many cases remains uniformed
and childish-looking; and perhaps it is
for that reason that so many of the
notes of to-day look uncultured. A
lady who gave an informal dinner to a
number of debutantes last winter said
that with the exceptions of a few real
ly nice-looking and well-expressed an
swers, the notes she received were, ac-
cording to her old-fashioned ideas,
really melancholy" as she expressed
it. "Such results of higher educa-
ton make one prefer the days of
good English governess and home.
training" was her verdict on the mod
ern system which produced such I'M
satisfactory results.-Philadelp In
