orable march through Maryland and
Pennsylvania on their way to the
greatest battle of the war. At times the
roads were blocked by dear, innocent
souls flying from ~Confederates who
were two days away and not then
moving in their direction. The army
was sorry for them, but their own Sc
riOus duties. a few miles ahead, so alb
sorbed their attention that they could
not lend them a hand or stop to give
them words Of sympathy. What times
of trouble those w~ere-those of thirty
three years ago. May their like never
return to our now united country.
A tall, dignitied railway conductor,
with a Grand Army button on his coat
and a Scottish rite mason's charm fas-
tened to his watch guard, was being
introduced to the members Of a post.
Colonel Vliet, shake hands with Com
rade J%eardeau." "Why, l know you!"
Both spoke at the same time the same
words, yet they had not seen each
other since 1864, when Vliet was a
captain and Jeardeau a private in the
Thirty-firSt Wisconsin. Vliet was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant colonel of q new
regiment, and Jeardeau fought it out
until BentOnville, when he was struck
down by a wound that he will never
recover from. you were not as tall
when l saw you in 1864 as you are
now" said Colonel Vliet. NO. sir.
Six inches were added to my height
after 1 came out of the army"
Think of that. fathers and mothers
who have boys from Is to II. and i'm
agine them carrying heavy knapsacks,
Il musket, sixty rounds of ammunition,
five days provisions, al extra suit Of
clothes, a blanket, an O%vercoat and
now and then standing up all day to
be shot at and to shoot at others! You
think they could not do it, don't you?
Others did it. Jeardeau did it. Half
a million boys ranging from Is to 10
did that kind of work, and if a similar
emergency were to arise, if our form
Of government We're again endangered,
millions of such boys as Jeardeau, who
got his growth after he had served
three years in the war, where he per-
formed the duties Of a man, being
shot like a man, would flock to the
recruiting officers and offer their lives
that the old flag might go right on
waving over the land of the free.
n
Then Captain Beech, quoted in the
first story in this column, asked: Did
1 understand Mr.. Jeardeau to say that
he belonged to Marshall Post, Of Roch-
ester, n. Y.?" Yes. sir" "E. G. Mar
shall?" "Yes, sir" when l was a
little boy E. G.. Marshall visited my
elder brother. He went to West Point
and then Cadet Marshall visited at our
house. When he graduated Lieutenant
Marshall was our guest. When the war
came promotions followed in quick sue
c~ession, and by 1864 Cadet Marshall
was General Marshall. He made Il gal
liant record in the army Of the Potomac.
He died some years ago. l am glad to
meet a man who belongs to the post
named in his honor"
There is no place like a Grand Army
post, with a membership of men who
knew what it was to go through the ex-
%periences of fighting soldiers, for un-
written var history and entertaining
stories.

breaking the Record.

The Star feels Ike congratulatirg both
its readers on the journalistic feast that
has been spread before them during the
past few days, and the members of its news
stan upon their success in mastering per-
fectly difficult situation. The Star has
rot only. according to it's custom, eclipsed
the efforts of other local newspapers, but
1t has broken the magnificent records
previously established by itself. The week
which closed with Saturday last was one
which called for extraordinary exertion on
the part of local journals. Here In Wash
irgton the Christian E..,ieavor convention
was in session. while at Chicago the chosen
representatives of the democratic party
met to adopt a platform and to nominate
a presidential ticket. To place before the
people of this city the news of those great
gatherings and to keep the public fully
Informed as to other local and general
happenings was a task Of large proper
tions. even for such staff and such me
chanical facilities as serve The Star. That
the task has been performed to the salts
faction Of everybody is demonstrated by

not desire second term. His youthful

ment- At that time many men are only
beginning their serious endeavors for sue
cess. He could not be expected to retire
TO rural seciusion. 1t Is impossible to rele-
gate man 70 the back-number class at
puch an age and yet 1t is difficult to see
what there would be FOR Mr.. Bryan to do
except TO linger with energies and ambi-
ton alert bat Intellectual, chafing because
there are no new worlds to conquer M
Mckniey's election would not only uphold
the national credit and deal a stunning
blow to populis.c-anarchistic doctrine but
it would relieve Mr.. Bryan of the above
suggested painful. personal predcament.

the congratulations and words of praise
which have been showered upon The Star.
In six days The Star has published one
hundred and twelve pages Of accurate In
formation. largely as to the two big gath
erlngs. but dealing also with the news
affairs of the whole world.
Toward the success Of the Christian En-
deavor Convehtfoit'rhe Star has contributed
at least rs share by printing more COM
plete report Of the proceedings than has
ever been attempted in any other of the
cities where previous conventions have met.
1t was not mac Eine-made matter either.
Whenever and wherever there has been
meeting there also a Star reporter,
and the result was accuracy such is
common enough in The Star, but which is
somewhat infrequent in journals that are
prompted by mistaken economy to use,
without verification, advance reports fur
nished gratuitously The Stars method
was costly but satisfactory. In addition to
the reports of meetings there was a vast
quantity of other and hardly less interest
ing natter-sketches. biographical and
otherwise, brief stories of incidents, in
structive interviews, and a wealth of illus
tration. The successful combination of all
these qualities accounts for the fact that
The Star will be found and preserved as a
souvenir in far more Endeavor homes
inside and outside of Washington than will
be reached by all other secular publications
combined.
The deeds and misdeeds of the Chicago
convention have been told, carefully and
at length. Able staff correspondents, whose
good work al st. Louis had been noted and
warmly commended by Star readers, were
on the ground early, and having thorough
understanding of so much of the situation
as could be understood by any one they
kept The Star constituency we'll posted.
In addition to it's brilliant special service
The Star gave to It's readers the quick and
accurate news reports of the Associated
Press, which here as at ST. Louis distanced
all competitors. The Chicago convention
was notably afternoon newspaper con-
vention. The nominations and other events
of greatest Importance took place in day
light hours during that larger portion of
the day which Is covered by those publica-
lions which print the news of today as
c'dental and late news. of minor import

either by regular or extra editions or on
the screen.

The alis.inr Word.

Somewhere in realms Of musty lore,
Where spiders weave and book worms bore,
Where shadows in grotesque array
Hold revels and defy the day,
There is a word: grewsome sound,
Writ in strange characters and found
Within a tome. which hideous elves
Guard as they grin from moldy shelves.
1t is a most uncanny thing.
Wild as the songs that warlocks sing;
Lettered in signs that come and go
Like brimstone's Pickering. pallid glow.
It's all in vain we strive to find
This thing 80 missed by all mankind
This word. which. once We lQosed its tether,
Would suitably describe the weather.
