Error NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Ihave been
a subscriber to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for six years, and expect to be as long as
can get the dollar.
I like THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE for its
fearless defense Of the old soldiers, their
widows and orphans, and for the way it up
holds the principles for which the young
men of this country left the comforts OF
home and endured for four years the tOilsome
march through mud and rain, the WEAKNESS
of camp life, and bravely to meet the shock
of battle on many hOtly-contested field,
and when the end came thinking they had
forever got away with the States rights
theory. But, 10! 81 years after it crops out
again in the Chicago platform, hid or partly
hid by silver cloak.
Having been q soldier nearly four years,
Won must know was highly pleased at the
downfall of Organism and the defeat Of
AltpeId. If the people of Kansas had seen
fit to have downed Populism, should have
been much better pleased.
l look back with q sort of creepy sensa-
tion to their control of the State from 1892
to 1894, and realize that if they did so much
harm to the State then, when there were
enough Republicans in the State Senate and
Legislature to hold them in check, they will
do much more harm when they have every
thing their own way.
l hope, as they have got control of the
State, they will spread on their POpulism
thick enough to insure their utter defeat in
1893. I have had many q roundup here
with the Pops because they condemned
Cleveland for suppressing the Chicago riot
in 1894; the only real patriotic thing he has
done, so far AZ know.

BOY SLADEN
OF TIE BAND,
BY WALTER WOOD

Boy Sladen of the Band lay i'll of fever,
and The Hospital Orderly, who had wide ex-
perience in these things, had told the Col
onel that he was mortal bad" It's now
Tuesday, SIR" said the Orderly; it'll be
much if be sees the week through"
"He DOESN'T want for anything, does he )? F"
asked the Colonel.
Not anything in the way O. luxuries OF
attention sir" said the Orderly, whose eyes
were heavy with watching, and whose limbs
were sore with working for the boy. He's
mortal bad, or he wouldn't be after putting
me aside for the sake of woman"
The Colonel looked curiously at the Or
derly "And why for the sake of a
woman ?n he demanded.
"That's the strange part of it, SIR" re-
turned the Orderly. Ever since he woke
this mornin' he's been asking for woman
talkin' OF how he's never known the love O.
one, an how he thinks he'd die easier if he
could have young un' an a pretty 'un by
his side to see him off. If Boy Sladen'll
talk like that, sir, he's in bad way"
did he really say that ?" asked the
Colonel.
HI" The words I've told you are the words
he used, sir" said the Orderly.
"Then he shall have one," said the Colonel,
and he strobe to the orderlyroom, tele-
phoned to the Nurses Institution, and in

The Orderly forgot Boy Sladen and every
thing else in that supreme moment He
had heard his chief, his god, set at nought by
an intruding female, and he could do moth
Ing but sidle from the room, and wonder
vaguely as he walked across the parade.
Nurse Gaughan stepped softly up to the
bed in which Boy Sladen lay. He was the
only patient in the hospital, and the bare,
bleak room looked barer and bleaker than
ever. The boy was sIumbering, and he
muaered in his fevered dreams. Nurse
Gaughan put her cool hand on his forehead
the heavy eyelids were raised, and Boy
Sladen looked with dull establishment at
her face.
"Who are you?" he asked, in feeble
voice.
Pm Nurse Gaughan," she answered
"But go to sleep again; you mustn't talk
The more you keep quiet the sooner you'll
get we'll"
Boy Sladen laughed a curious Little
laugh.
"Get well?" he echoed; not this jour
ney. The Doctors given me up-I heard
him tell Dennis, the Orderly, that it wa,

that while everybody seems to be climbing
round the Drum-major's legs, there's no.
body even so much as thinks of looking at
the Colonel. There's glory for you-there's
fame, and if live I'll carry the staff and
march on at the head of ours just as old
Bighead does-the men call him Bighead,
because they say he's swelled up with his
own importance" added Boy Sladen, hastily
aud explanatorily, fearing that he had cast
a reflection on the dignity of the Office !;
"but that isn't right, is it? always call
him by his proper titfe."
ut isn't right at all ;" agreed Nurse Gau-
CHAN, soothingly. At any other time she
would have laughed, it seemed so ridiculous
to think of this small boy welding the great
staff at the head of stalwart men. But all
desire to laugh at his eccentricities faded
away when she thought of him lying help
less there, and how distant was the hope of
his ever realizing his cherished dream.

"a GENTLE NURSE PASSED THE SENTRY"
the tones that he adopted when ordering
goods from the town, he desired the matron
to send TO the barracks, at once, a young and
pretty nurse, for Boy Sladen Of the Band.
Within AN hour gentle nurse, wearing
neat black cloak and a dainty bonnet, passed
the sen ~ on the main-guard on her way to
hospital. The sentry stared a moment at
the apparition, then stood bolt upright, and
feeling that so unusual a spectacle called for
unusual honor, he shoaldered arms.
The Colonel, who disliked women, re-
ceived the girl at the door of the hospital.
You're the first woman that ever entered
this place as a nurse" he said, gruf1ly, and
j only sent for you because it's the wish OF
Boy Sladen to have member OF your sex
near him. Bow Sladen's in a bad way. He's
a fayorite Of mine. Do your best for him"
"Tbat's what I'm here fol" said the nurse,
with delicate flush of resentment at the
Colonel's rudeness.
The Colonel started slightly, for her tones
expressed neither fear of nor respect for him,
and Iie was accustomed to inspire both. He
pulled The end OF his mustaehe, and looked
obviously at the newcomer. She was TAX
ing off her cloak and bonnet, and handing
them quietly to the astounded Orderly.
When the commander left the room he car
ried with him the vision of little figure of
surprising grace and Deatness, and he still
pulled his mustache and muttered as he
sank into his chair in his quarters.
What nasty, cross old thing that man
Is" said the nurse, in low tones, after look
at Boy Sladen, who had fallen into heavy
slumber.
"Ma'am.n stammered the Orderly, doubt
ing his senses (" beg your pardon, what
did you say?"
i said that the man who's just gone out
is disagreeable old creature" rejoined the
nurse "Who is he?"
The Orderly smiled feebly. 1t was clear
that the girl did not know the difference
between Colonel and a Corporal. She called
the Colonel man" as if be belonged to the
ranks of the regiment. who is hep" he
repeated, slowly, initiating his lungs so that
he might the more effectively make known
the overwhelming truth. He's The Colonel

still in low tones, that he ought to know
how to treat lady civilly. You may ge

Nurse Gaughan and Private Dennis knew 1t.
Dennis, however, thoughlhis own heart was
heavy within him, chaered him whenever

To Nurse Gaughan he became friendly
and confidential as the week wore on, ana
his greatest pleasure was to draw picture
of himself rs the Drum-major.
"You know what the Drum-maJor Is,
nurse?" he asked one day.
"Yes." replied Nurse Gaughan, readily,

stick in front of the soldiers, and clears the
road for them and makes the band keep
time Isn't that what he's for? It's so
funny to see him, isn't it?"
"Stick! Clears the road! Makes the
band keep time!" repeated Boy Sladen, in
indignant amazement. "Stiek, indeed
Why, that's the staff and as for twirling it,
you just try if you can doit. AS for clearing
the road and making the bandsmen keep

The Drum-major gives the pace, and he's the
military commander of the band. He's got
nothing to do with the tunes. A civilian
could manage that"
Boy Saden's tones as he concluded ex-
pressed such intense scorn, and he looked so
severely at Nurse Gaughan, that she was
once more shocked at her indiscretion, and
craftily determined to adopt an altogether
different attitude.
"Oh, really" she pleaded, 81 didn't mean
anything. OF course the Drum-major is an
important person. In some ways he's tar
more important, I've often thought, than the
Colonel. Everybody looks at him, and yet
how few look at the Colonel"
She had not the least idea where the
Colonel came in but Boy Sladen was molll-
fed instantly. This was exactly his own
way of thinking.
"You're right, nurse he said "after all
You do know something about the army, and
what you say is quite correct. I've watched
the battalion many times, and it's always
been-the same-every eyes been turned to
the Drum-major that hasn't been fixed on
the drummer. Where does the Colonel come
in when the Drum-major's about?"
Boy Sladen spoke as if uttering chal-
lenge, and Nurse Gaughan felt it necessary
to reply.
Il really don't know" she said ,helplessly.
I suppose he's somewhere"
Somewhere" repeated Boy Sladenn,
scornfully; somewhere, that's just it-he's
somewhere out of sight. The staff comes
first, and then the man. that holds it then
the band comes, then ahe drummer and the
boys, and when they've Laal been looked at

they had been permitted by the guard
to go to this very hotel for supper, and
had nothing to pay but greenbacks,

it was said, had quietly and stealthily
applied the fire underneath the hotel
just as we were leaving the town.
About dark we met Gen. Grants staff
officer near Bolton Station, who turned
us to the right, with orders to push ON
to Vicksburg by what was known as the
upper Jackson road, which crossed the
Big Black at Bridgeport. During that
day (May 16) the battle of Champion
Hills had been fought and won by Nc
Clernands and McPherson's Corps,
aided by one division of mine (Blair's),
under the immediate command of Gen.
Grant, and Mcpherson was then follow
