The Piper at Dargaf.

Mr.. A. C. Andos writes from Sydenham:
1.-THE episode described by your correspon-
dent on the Indian frontier gives us
really a remarkable instance of how history
repeats itself. The parallel case oc-
CURED nigh on ninety years ago. In The
Life and Eploits of His Grace the Duke of
Wellington an incident in the battle of
Vimeira is thus described: An incident &C.
Cured in this battle, highly character

refrain from quoting it. 1t is very common
for the wounded to cheer their more FORUM
ate comrades they pass on to the at
tack. A man named Stewart, the piper of
the list Regiment, was wounded in the
thigh very severely at a very early period
of the action, and refused to be removed.
He sat upon a bank playing martial airs
during the remainder of the battle He was
heard to address his comrades thus: ''Weel
my bra lads, can gang ma longer wi We a

His Final Call,

FROM the minneapolis Tribune.
There is certain young man in this
city belonging to the four hundred who
does not call on certain young lady of his
set any more, and the great hired-girl ques-
ton is at the bottom of the trouble. The
young man and three companions, in their
efforts to add to their fund of worldly
knowledge, attended one of the dances
where the domestic help are wont to con-
gregate on Saturday nights, and they had a
very delightful time. The young man In
question paid marked attention to a petite
young lady, but pleaded a previous en-
gagement when the time to escort the
young ladies home arrived. The other even
ing, in glancing over his list of engage
ments, he discovered that it was about
time to return party call due a young
lady. and started out to fulfill his engage
ment He arrived at the house and rang
the bell The door was opened by the maid
who looked at the young man for min
ute, and then said:
Good gracious, you must not come 10
the front door to see me: the help must re-
ceive their company at the back door"
1t was the petite young lady of the ser
wants ball. and the young man fell off
the steps in his hurry to leave. and this is
the reason why a certain young man calls
no more on a certain young lady.

hungry republicans are after their places
he will add leaf to his civil crown which
very few of his predecessors can rival in
brilliancy.
1t requires a president of more nerve
than probably Mr.. Mckinley has to resist
the clamor of partisans for Office, but if
he would abolish the spoils system by
recognizing the principles of civil service
reform in the appointment of these heads
of departments, he would have the APP
proval of the best men of all political
parties. But, perhaps, that is asking
too much from him, especially in the be-
ginning of his first term of the presi-
dency. Perhaps every president in his
first term has an idea that he should be
endorsed by a second term, and if he has
such an ambition he knows that it is
necessary for him to engage the support
of politicians, and the course we suggest
would rather ALLEVIATE than draw the
leading politicians of his party to him.
Therefore, we say, it would be too much
to ask Mr.. Mckinley to inaugurate such a
policy, but if he did how it would purify
politics and facilitate the conduct of bust
ness in the several departments at Wash
ington. 1t will be remembered, however,
that Mr.. Mckinley said in his letter of
acceptance that if he was elected he
''would take no backward step in civil
service REFORM" We hope he will keep
his promise in mind.
