''The way in which certain members OF

which he always found ready market,
and The German grew vegetables. The two
men wrre good friends and frequently
chatted with each other over the fence.

the week ended February 10, 1896,
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1896-04-30

President Homer T. Fuller. Of Drury
college, Springfield. Mo-, announces that
he has received a singular proposition
from a-wealthy Massachusetts, man.
whose identity he would not disclose.
The man offers Drury a large sum Of
money II 1t will verify the truth OF a
war incident which is alleged to have
taken place in Missouri, and equals the
story of Damon and Pythias. The
president announces that the college
will accept the offer. and requests the
students to help him secure evidence II
such a thing really did occur.
The story is that in the early part OF
the war a detachment Of Confederate
troops IN Missouri took about 400 Union
prisoners. Twelve of these prisoners
were lined up and shot without provo
cation by the Confederate officers. Up
on hearing of this act the commander
of the Federal regiment drafted twelve
prisoners to be shot in retaliation. AS
the line was being formed a young man
named william Lear stepped forward
and asked permission to take the place
of one of the condemned men. who was
his friend. The request was granted
and Lear was given the place OF MS
| friend.

At one of the engagements in Tennes-
see a Confederate captain was detailed
to support a battery. The Federal
troops made q fierce assault and car
ried off one Of the guns. The officer
was furious over the loss of the gun
and swore that his men should charge
and recapture it. One of the privates,
who now lives near this place, said:
Look here, captain, II the confederate
government must have a gun. propose
we chip in and buy one."
A hungry Confederate by the name
of Johnston walked into a farmhouse
while the family were seated at the
supper table. The farmer had been
so much troubled with soldiers that he
concluded not to invite the manato par
take of the meal with him, but to make
conversation said to the Confederate:
What is your name:
"Take-a-bite," replied the soldier.
what" repeated the farmer. Take
a-bite"
Thanks" said the soldier, "as you
insist, l believe I will eat something.
and sat down at the table.
A slim specimen of North Carolina

Town To BE Moved.

lie town of Wenatchee. Wash, Is to
be moved two miles from its present
location to a point on the bank OF a
river. 1t is a pretty fair sized town,
too. All the buildings will be moved
in the usual way to the new location.
There is not an adequate supply OF
water where the town now stands. and
in addition the citizens are incensed at
the avarice of the owners OF the pres
emit town site. who have fixed the price
OF property at a very high figure.

Roar Of tho Cannon.

More than twenty years ago we heard
a preacher in a sermon declare tna'
since the opening of this century the
cannon had never ceased to roar. That
is, there had never been a time during
the century when there had not been
war somewhere. He said it was wrong
idea to call this the century OF peace.
Wehave watched events since that time
and have never seen a time when there
was universal peace. War RACES some
where, and when one war is brought
to a close another flames out. These
are not always great wars, but they
are wars all the same. To-day there Is
war in Abyssinia, Central America. and
what may be designated as wars in
Central Asia and Farmosa. Tomorrow
the panorama will change: some OF the
old scenes will disappear and new ones
will burst on the vision. In this way
history is made.
It is doubtful if there ever was time
when the changes were so rapid as at
the present time. The increased faciii-
ties for intercourse and the perfect
means of transportation accelerate both
thought and action. AS an illustra-
ton of this we point to the invasion OF
the Transvaal. The scene passed quick
ly. A few days only elapsed between
its beginning and end. No such thing
could have taken place fifty years ago.
We have no way Of judging Of the fu-
ture but by the past, was the saying oil
an American orator. but in the light
of modern events the judgment must
be by the very recent past. Judging by
that past there is little probability that
the time is near when the roar of the
cannon will cease to be heard.

We walked across the battlefield where
once the bullets few,
And the green and bending grasses felt
the fall of crimson dew;
And we talked the whole thing over.
where the flag was waving free:
How he had marched with Sherman,
and had served with Lee.
The drums had ceased their beating, we
saw no sabres shine;
The hair about his forehead fell as
snowy white as mine,
And voices seemed to call US DER the
far, eternal sea,
Where the men who marched with
Sherman are in camp with those OF
Lee.
We parted: eyes grew misty, for We
knew that nevermore
We'd meet until the roll call on the
other peaceful shore:
But both shook hands in friendship, as
hearty as could be.
Though he had marched with Sherman
and I had fought with Lee.
