of the country. I've had to give up
looking for my people-given up" He
leaned his head on his hands and
groaned.
Gust what did you say his name
wasP" the soldier asked of Captain
Jackson.
"Pen, tell him your whole name,'
said Captain Jackson to the boy.
"Pendleton John Hunter" said Pen
promptly.
The newcomer spraug to his feet.
He lifted the boy off the bench and
tiercely asked, staring into his face:
"And what was your fathers name?'
"John Pendleton Hunter. Pen
comes first in my name"
Slowly the soldier went on with a
gasp and a catch in his breath, Sand
what YVES your mother name?"
MARY Hunter"
The big, tall fellow, in his army blue
.overcoat, leaned a little forward as if
he might fall. He caught Pen up in
his arms and said: ooh, my boy! 1t
is my own little boy Penl"
The other two men wiped their eyes
o n their coatsleeves and turned away
their faces. From his trembling voice
and the tears that fell on PENS curly
hair they felt that the fathers heart was
almost broken with joy.
Pen cried, too, and then he laughed.
When he could peep out from the army
coat he said with q twinkle in his brown
eyes: "And to think I've been deeora-
ting my fathers grave. And I've got
a father alivel"
What more could the earth hold2
Then there was a splendid journey, a
wonderful journey that Pen never for
got in a steamboat on blue waters and
on a railroad train and a wagon ride far
back into the hills to the little cabin on
the bit of a clearing.
Pen always gets the story a trife
mixed up" in telling it when it comes
to the last point.
Mother was SO white and still and
father was so silent-welli I thought
sure they would die. Then we all cried
and laughed, and my tatier didn't die
in a hospital, but Sam was shot on the
field and father was sick for a year and
couldn't find us when he got well. p

WEST polMr CEMETERY.
A Noted Burying Ground Where MAnJ
Brave Soldiers Are Inferred.

Interesting to every patriot is the
cemetery at West Point. There Cen
eral Judson Fitzpatrick sleeps his last
sleep, and near him rests the sagaclous
Buford, who opened the fight at Get
tysburg, who held with two small cav
airy brigades Hills entire corps N
check for five hours, and who received
his commission as maior-general the
day he died. A handsome and sub.
s~tantial monument marks his grave,
s.erected by the voluntary contribu-
tions of the officers and men OF his COM
mand.," The grave of General George
A. Custer is near that of General Bu-
ford. Even without the solid memori-
al, the visitor 10 West Point would be
attracted to the gigantic proportions OF
q grave in the middle of a plot by itself
that of the second Lieutenant Cen
eral of the United States Army, Win
field Scott, who died May 30, 1866,
nearly five years after his retirement
from the army. Had he lived two
weeks longer, he would have reached
his eightieth birthday.
Many other brave officers are buried
OF West Point. At almost every step
is seen the name of some man that, al
most forgotten now, was q household
word thirty years ago. The hero OF
Fort Sumter, General Robert Ander-
son, General Ethan Allen Hitchcock,
and George L. Hartsuff are side by
side; at Kilpatrick's left, a simple stone
marks the burial place of the gifted
and unfortunate Ranald s. Mackenzie;
at Kilpatrick's right a handsome
testimonial adorns the grave OF
General Charles p. Stone, who is
best remembered to New Workers as
the builder of the pedestal of the
Goddess of Liberty; further along is
the grave of General Henry d. Wallen;
next is that of General Cuvier Grover,
who died some years ago while colonel
Of the First Cavalry; on q line with
Growers an imposing shaft has been
erected in memory of General George
Sykes, commander of the Regular
division early in the war, and latter OF
the Fifth Corps. So highly were Sykes's
services appreciated that Congress ap-
priated $1,000 to bring his remains from
Texas, where he died, February s,
1880, to West Point. The Army of the
Potomac had no drawer or better Cen
eral than General Sykes. Close by
are the graves of General Sherman's
favorite staff officer, General Joseph
G. Audenried, aud of General Joseph
B. Kiddoo. Several distinguished
ordnance officers have been gathered
in one section. General James Giles
pie Benton, who died August %, 1881;
Colonel T. T. s. Laidley, April 4,
1886, and Colonel Julian McAllister,
January 8, 1887. Near them is all
that remains Of two eminent engineers
General Quincy A. Gilmore, who
died in Brooklyn, April Z, 1888, and
General Nathaniel Michler, who died
at Saratoga, July II, 1881. Sedgwick
and Mcpherson are also buried at West
Point,

Penn Pen had seen General Grant at
the head of his men passing through
the old place. Phil Sheridan and his
cavalry had clattered past their door.
Their girls.could remember their sol
der father, with his soldier cap and
big, brass buttons on the army blue
coat. 1t never died out of the thoughts
of the humble family that they were a
part Of the war; that they had helped
save the Union. At the slightest
mention of General Grants name, their
fathers General. the girls, as well as
Pen, lifted their heads like little war
horses.
And now Pen was going to, the
Decoration Day service at Arlington.
His jacket was neatly mended, a good
lunch put up. A tiny note on coarse,
gray, ruled paper, the back of an old
letter, was tucked in his vest pocket.
1t read:
Dear General Grant:
81 take the liberty of sending you this
message by my only sou, who goes to lay
flowers upon his fathers and brothers
grave. I gave all I had. I want my boy
to see General Grant, his fathers General.
MARY HUNTER"
At Arlington were 25, 600 people that
May day. Bands played dirges in OPP
posite parts of the cemetery. The
great platform was draped with silken
flags. and banners. Colonel Haywood,
with the marines and marine band, sat
beneath them. General and Mrs.
Grant, General and Mrs. Sherman,
Sir Edward Thornton, the British
Minister, and Consuls and sixty-six
soldiers orphans, each carrying a
wrentr and bouquet, sat together on
the platform.
A national salute Of twenty-seven
guns was fred. A poem was read,
called 'sThe Hymn Of Peace" written
by Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Captain jackson and Pen arrived in
time to march into the grounds just as
General Grant was taking his seat.
The bands were playing. The sun
shine fell over the peoples heads and
faces like gold. 1t vas a wonderful
| scenel
There wal thick, soft, grass, such
| beautiful trees and singing birds.
| Flags were futtering and flowers were
borne about in huge baskets, and there
were armies Of people laden with fra
grant blossoms. The white stones
everywhere cleaned in the sun.
As the orphan children marched
round the gray tomb of the sun
known piling against the stone their
wreathes and bouquets, the music
played a sad dirge, Pen went up and laid
the pretty wreaths Of myrtle and white
flowers that his mother had made with
the others. BE whispered to Captain
Jackson: stIf mother could see this
she wouldn't cry so much. Oh, it's
| glorious to be a soldierl"
sPen, now it's time to give your note
to General Grant, said the Captain.
s'They are coming down from the plat
form"
A blue coated officer handed the note
to the General. He opened and read
it, every word. The little, wrinkled,
crumbled bit of paper seemed to in
teresS him. He looked down at the
small, eager face and smiled. He
went up to him, leaving the procession
a moment and took PENS hand in his
own and said warmly, II am glad to
see you, my lad. Tell your mother
| General Grant remembers her to-day
and all she has done"
The little fellow in the mended jacket
looked SO very manly, and as the Cen
eral passed on toward his carriage no

Because the weather is mild and the all
balmy we cannot count on being rid Of
rheumatism or neuralgia. The very sud
den changes OF temperature or exposure to
draughts are both likely to increase rather
than diminish both complaints. For TINS
reason 1t is wise at this season to be vel
prepared for sudden attacks, and to have
ready what is known as the best remedy
for all yisitations of aches or pains. AL
well regulated households ought to have q
nook or corner for a bottle of st. Jacobs
OIL. There are other reasons also why this
Master-cure should be kept at hand; rheu-
matism and neuralgia are chronic, acute OF
inlnmmatory, but to whatever degree OF
suffering they may come, the old reliable
cure is the best for treatment and the surest
to give permanent relief.

one Of Natures Rare Mysteries.
In works of mineralogy it is learned
that there is such a product as natural
coke, but so far as known there has
but one deposit of this commodity
been found in the United States, and
this was in the vicinity of Richmond,
Va.
Although the deposits Of coal in
Utah are immense in their proper
tions, it was never dreamed that among
its comModities of trade and commerce
the State could boast OF beds of this
natural coke, but such is the case,
however, and the Salt Lake Herald is
informed that a short time ago q vein
of this coke had been discovered in a
section of the country about lao miles
south of that city, and within fifteen
miles of q railroad.
This deposit crops out on the sur
face for some distance, and a twenty
five to thirty foot tunnel has disclosed
a body of coke that is all of five feet
in width, and there is every reason to
believe that with depth the size of this
deposit will increase. In quality the
coke is all that could be desired, and
OF the assay offices at which it has been
tested, the statement is made that tits
a pure article, and that it is ven su-
perior to the manufactured coke, as it
is entirely free from sulphur, bitumen,
and thatit gives out no smoke when
burned and makes less ash than the
manufactured article.
Tho new find, which is considered
rs being among the most valuable that
has been made in the State, is owned
and controlled by Ex-Mayor R. N.
Baskin and several other Salt Lake
gentlemen, who have located $40 acres
in the immediate vicinity of the dis

As time went on, the song grew old,
And timid grasses growing,
Waved ~fearlessly across its mouth
When hummer winds were blowing;
Gay little birds within its bore
Crept out of stormy weather,
To lay the seeds they gathered there,
While pluming crest and feather.
And so, In time, a veteran,
Along the highway going,
Beside the meadow stopped to SEQ,
Within the cannon growing,
A saucy daisy, fresh and fair,
In peace and safety blooming.
Where once a messenger OF death
Along its course went booming. :
Then stopped and blessed the fragile
thing
That told q better story
OF peace on earth, goodwill to men,
Instead OF War and Glory.

PAT IN COURT.
The Ubiquitous Defendant of
 Apache County.

Pick and Drill An amusing incident happened in court over at St. Johns the other day. Be il known that epache county con- tains several notable if not peculiar characters; one of these we will call Pat. The peculiar trait in Pats char aeter which singles hIm out from amongst his nelghbors, Is the fact, and the courts records will prove it. that Pat has been either plaintiff or defend ant at every term of court held in that county since it's organization in 1879. As usual Pat had been indicted for brandlng-"by mistake"-the other fel- lows calf. A rape case was ready for trial, and the judge noting the absence of the defendant, said:
 "Where is the defendant?" Supposedly from force of habit-on hearing the judges question, Pat jumped up and answered:
 "Here soirv'
 But when told by the court that he was not the defendant, Pat insisted that he was, and ready for trial"
 An attorney sitting near whispered to Pat that 1t was "a rape case"
 "A phwat?" roared Pat.
 "An indictment for rape" repeated the attorney in whisper.
 Now, for Pat to be indicted for steal ing COW, calf, or sheep, was in the usual order of things, but to be in- dicted for stealing "rake," was an indignity beyond his forbearance.
 Turning to the court Pat indign antIy declared the indictment to be false.
 "Plase yer honor, 'twas a small red calf of phwat use have fer a rake 1 might brand a calf or sich loIke-by mistake, ,molnd you-but niver 8 rake"
 After order was restoredin the court room, Pat was made to understand that perhaps there were other defend ants" in court aside from himself

A dispatch from Washington says that the United States supreme court has affirmed the decision of the circuit court for California, refusing a writ of habeas Corpus to William H. T. Durrant for the murder of Blanche Lamont in in San Francisco in April, 1895. Today s decision permits the law to take it's course with the condemned man. Chief Justice Fuller announced the decision. but made no remarks in doing so, save to cite few authorities on which the court based it's decision. Attorney General Fitzgerald was in the court room when the opinion was rendered, and said It would insure Durrant's ex- ecution and in all respects was satis- factory to the state.
