HE PARDONED THEM.
Why President Lincoln Set Free a
Number OF Deserters.

1t was President LiEcoln's intense love
for his fellow men that led him to disap-
prove OF the findings OF coyrt-martiaI,
whenever there was possible excuse,
particularly in the cases Of soldiers
charged with desertion, with having
fallen asleep at post Of duty, or with
other offenses.
Secretary Stanton always insisted
upon the strictest discipline in the army
and frequently urged that derclict SOL
diers receive the severest punishment
OF military law and custom, but Lincoln
rarely took any advice on such matters
lie had meditated deeply on that sub
ject and consulted his own judgment in
disposing of cases of that kind that
came before him.
The late Joseph Holt, who recently
died at Washington, was judge advocate
general OF the army during the whole
period of the war and it became his duty
to report many cases Of alleged cow
ardice OF soldiers as wd as other Of
lenses. President Lincoln carefully
read every line Of the charges against
such men, and as soon as he saw the
slightest chance to excuse the poor fell
low, a CLEAN Of satisfaction would pass
over his serious face. Then folding the
papers together he placed them in a
pigeon hole Of his desk, and with his big
eyes looking into those of the judge ad-
vocate standing before him, he would
say:
Holt, we will let those soldiers go.
Order them set free"
1t was after the battle of Chancel-
louisville that charges were brought
against several men for failing to march
with their regiments into the fight at
a time when they were most needed
The charge of desertion was made.
When Secretary Stanton heard of
these cases he commanded Judge Holt
TO present the charges against the men
TO the president in the strongest posi-
BILE terms.
Eve need stronger discipline in the
army" said the stern secretary of war
to the judge advocate. THE time has
come when the president must yield 10
our opinion"
Judge Holt was himself one OF the
ablest lawyers Of his day, and had won

allied Very often the bird of the
Merry Heart"
One of the most interesting and one
If the most useful Of our common birds
s the sprightly titmouse, otherwise
known under the popular name OF
chickadee, so called because of its Pc
culiar chat: Observation-Disclosures"
In appearance the black-capped
'crested) titmouse has the most jaunty
air conceivable: the neck and head OF
a glossy black. the balance of the upper
part OF the body being of a peculiar
drab, while underneath it is q creamy
white or fawn. The habits OF this rest
less, nervous, active little creature
make it general favorite with all those
who have come TO know il well.
The disposition of this brave little
fellow is no less remarkable than its
habits, for it seems TO be cheerful I'M
der the most adverse circumstances.
No cold is so intense as 10 chill its en-
thusiasm, no storm so severe as to
brighten the chickadee. Let the gale
roar never so fercely. the chickadee still
Voices its cheerful call, and continues
Its work in spite of wind or weather.
Let tomorrow take care of ITSELF"
seems TO be its motto. Emerson refers
to its splendid courage In midwinter
when he writes:
Here was this atom in full breath.
Hurting defiance at vast death;
This scrap OF valor, just for play
Fronts the north wind in waistcoat gray,
As IL to shame our weak behavior"
You may learn few lessons from
the chicAadee. First, never allow sur
roundings or circumstances TO dampen
your ardor. If the sky is dark to-day
1t may be brighter tomorrow. If dis
coura gements exist, never relax your
efforts, but keep right on Saving
wood"
As an insect destroyer, the chicadee
is invaluable to our agricultural inter
ests, and for this reason Off for no
other it should never be killed or its
eggs destroyed. The chickadee is very
confiding, can be easily tanned, and
seems TO be one of mans best friends.

A FRIENDLY WALTZ.

Danced by a Young Lady Kitten and
Her Canine Ads1irer.
Dogs are usually regarded as the bit
terest enemies of cats, but famous
German animal trainer has recently in
trodueed some clever tricks in which
both cats and dogs play part.
In - o. iASset, Miss Mimisse, the
cat goes to a ball and takes her place in
a chair, as becomes a modest young
lady kitten. In comes Mr.. Toilette, the
dog, and with many bows and smiles
invites her to dance polka, Miss Mi
MISE bows bashfully, and takes Mr..
Follette's arm, and they dance off to-
gether across the stage on their hind
legs. OF course everyone cheers.
Another big scene is a triumph in ami
NAL training. a big English dog named
Cerberus is chained on the left side of
the stage, while Pippina, the cat, takes
