pATTERSON'S FACTS.
Young Lawyer Eloquent to Old
Soldiers.

This is day sacred to the memory of
the fallen heroes Of the late war, Mr..
Patterson commenced. This day is sa-
cred to the dead-a day when all heads
should bow in respect and all hearts
should beat in reverence for the heroes
who gave their lives to save the Nation
they loved so we'll and secured to us the
blessings and liberties we now enjoy.
The songs, the old flag, the badge and
button worn by each of you, recall
thrilling scenes that occurred before we
of the later generation can remember.
Veterans, the associations of this day
carry you back on the wings Of recol-
lection for more than thirty years. You
are young man again. You see the
clouds of war gathering on our peaceful
sky. You hear the sound of prepare
ton and see the boys marching away
to the conflict. In memory you live
over your firsts battle, the long, lonely
marches; you sing the old songs once
more or perhaps you are standing by
the side of a comrade as his life's blood
Gibbs away and you lay him to rest in
his final resting place in the south far
from home and kindred. You recall a
thousand incidents that cause your
hearts to swell with joy or ache with
pain that cannot appeal to our exper-
fence. To you all is reality; to us it is
stranger than fiction, but when we re-
alize that it is all part Of the history
of our country we strive to comprehend
it and to appreciate what it all means
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-06-03

to us. We cannot appreciate all you
have endured and suffered, but we can
learn loyalty to the old flag from you;
we can assist you in keeping green the
memory of your departed comrades.
Veterans, you saved the Nation, but
you are still performing mission equal
ly as important by teaching patriotism
to the rising generation. Your efforts
have already set in motion a wave of
patriotism that has swept over the en-
tire land and we feel it's influences eve
rywhere. You saved the Nation and
now you are striving to perpetuate it
by teaching us that the most exalted
duty of citizen is love of country.
1t is the duty of all citizens to teach
patriotism. The most progressive Ma
tons of all ages have ever been Jealous
in preserving the deeds of their brave
men in song and story.
This day should remind us that we
live in a country where human slavery
does not exist-that we live in Nation
that tolerates and protects absolute free
dom of thought. We read of the old
Republics and the free cities of Europe

He Kept His Seat.

During one of the naval engagements
Of the late war a sailor by the name Of
John Davis performed an act of bravery
that has rarely been equaled While the
battle was at its height shell entered
the Valley City, of which ship Davis
was gunner's mate, and exploded on
the berth deck, setting it on fire
Captain Chaplin, the commander of
the vessel, jumped down into the mag
azine, and while directing his men to
extinguish the flames passed up with
his own hands the loose cylinders of
powder. The fireworks on board became
ignited Rockets whizzed and blue
lights blazed up in the very midst of
the ammunition. The shellroom caught
fire, and it seemed as if the Valley City
must be blown to pieces
John Davis, approaching the danger
and DESTROYS of doing all in his power
to avert it, jumped up on an open bar.

A Story Of "A Mann.cript.

A story is told of "a certain southern
author who had manuscript accepted
by northern periodical that only pays
on publication, but he has never had
the pleasure of seeing his production in
print Finally he went north, and, get
ting hard up, called on the editor, who
would neither return his manuscript nor
guarantee him a day of publication. He
repaired to his hotel and wrote the edi-
tor threatening letter, in which he
mentioned pistols and coffee, etc. Short
ly after he was arrested and taken to
the station house, where he remained
all night The next morning he sent the
following message to the editor:
Il didn't know the rules up here.
For heavens sake, come down and pay
my fine and take the manuscript as Sc
curity."
The editor was unmoved by this APP
peal and replied briefly:
1--WE cannot violate the rules of our
Office. We will pay your fine when we
publish your story. We wish you we'll.

Plea For Good Roads.-A social Side to
the Question.
During the past year and especially
the present season, numerous towns
and cities OF Michigan have followed
the example of other states and have
made vast improvements in the wagon
roads leading out into the farming
country. 1t makes vast difference To
the farmers, and TO the merchants OF a
town, whether the roads are passable
and tit To haul loads over the entire
year, or whether they are practically
impossible much OF the year. 1t not
only makes "a difference as matter of
convenience To the farmer but ii is
much less expensive for him to have
good roads the year round, over which
to draw his produce to market Good
roads will enable him to take advan-
tage OF the markets at all times of the
year, and it is nearly as much interest
to the dealer that the farmer should
get the best prices rs it is to the farmer
himself With present conditions, we
shall take it for granted that no one
will require US to prove this last state
ment.
There is also social side to this
question. The farmer would gladly
come TO town to entertainments and
social gatherings much more during
the long winter months, if the roads
would permit. Better and more fire.
quent lectures, operas and musical
entertainments could thus be secured
by this increased patronage, and we
should come to know each other better
and have more sympathies and interests
in common. No one will question the
education and business advantages to
be gained by such "a close relationship
between country and town.
In other sections the towns and the
farmers are working together with ut
most harmony in this matter, recogniz-
ing their mutual interest and benefit
in this important Improvement. U.s.
ually "a meeting OF farmers and business
men is called by some enterprising
citizen, and regular organization is
formed, with the necessary officers and

King Theebaw's palace at Mandslay

hours later he shot or killed with his
sword one of his military aids.

The late Emperor Of Russia shot and

Of his household, under the impression
that the count was nihilist and a

The Engine.

Into the gloom OF the deep, dark night,
With painting breath and startled scream;
Swift AS bird in sudden flight
Darts this creature OF steel and steam
Awful dangers are lurking nigh,
Rocks and chasms are near the track,
Hut straight by the light OF Its great white eye
II speeds thro' the shadows dense and black
Terrible thoughts and fierce desires
Trouble It's mad heart many an hour,
Where burn and shoulder the hidden fires,
Coupled ever with might and power.
II hates as wild horse hates the rein,
The narrow track by vale and hill;
And shrieks with "a cry OF startled pain.
And longs TO follow its own wild will.
oh, what am but an engine shod
With muscle and flesh by the hand OF God
Speeding on thro' the dense, dark night,
Guided alone by the souls white light.
Often and often my mad heart tires
And hates It's way with bitter hate,
And longs TO follow its own desires,
And leave the end in the hands OF fate.
o, pondrous engine of steel and steam;
o, human engine of flesh and bone
Follow the white lights certain BEAM,
There lies safety, and there alone
The narrow track OF fearless truth,
Lit by the souls great eye OF light,
o, passionate heart OF restless youth,
Alone will carry you thro the night.
