Jim NeSbit by Superhuman EnoFtS
Lifts q Fallen Tree from HiS
Partners Crushed Form.

While Thomas Gentle, a mining ma
chinery expert of Green Lake, Wis,
was prospecting with Jim Nesbit near
Jevins inlet, 60 miles from the nearest
camp, q log rolled down the hill on
them. Nesbit wiggled from beneath
the huge trunk, but Gentle was pinned
between the log and big rock, re-
ports local exchange.
Though realizing that he must die,
his partner watched beside him for
two days and nights, seeing his life
slowly going out, before he succeeded
in prying up the tree and pulling his
crushed body free. ........ ....-.
Nesbit then went for help, but In
dams were the only human beings he
could find. He gave them $50, all he
had, to carry the dying man to the
camp at Vananda, 90 miles away.
After covering Is miles, the Indians
refused to go further.
Nesbit then gave poor Gentle's pail
bearers his gold watch, which induced
the Indians to cary their burden five
miles further, when they again halted,
saying, "No use carrying dead man"
Nesbit whipped out a revolver and
told the Indians that there would be
more dead men around if they did not
move on, and at the point of re-
volver, Is more miles were covered by
the Indians, when they abruptly
dropped their burden and fed into the
woods. Three days after Gentle
reached Vananda, his litter being
borne by his comrade. He died two
days after reaching there, which was
eight days after the accident.

Touching Devotion to his Mother.

Young Ensign Worth Bagley, a short
while before he was killed on board the
torpedo boat wins1ow. off Cardenas,
wrote to his mother as follows:
We leave in few hours for Matan-
zas, whence we came two days ago for
some minor repairs and necessary stores
and coal. You are the sweetest mother
to me for more reasons than l can ever
count; but 1 am thinking principally
about your writing to me. Every time
we have received mail there has been a
letter from you, and you would be so
glad if you knew how happy they make
me. Each time we come into port or get
any chance whatever to send youa letter
shall do so, and have done so up to this
moment.
You need have no fears about me, for
there is no danger for US now. There
may he when the Spanish fleet comes, but
l am sorry to say that fear that will
never be. A war comes only once in a
generation, and it will be very hard if 1
can get no chance to do some unusual
service, soitis very disappointing to have
no tangible enemy to meet You are a
brave mother, so you must feel like 1 do
whenever we are engaged in anything at
all dangerous enjoy the excitement; feel
that, but nothing more. Thank Heaven,
have found that have no fear, for 1
have analysed all my feelings in danger
Don't repeat that; it would be boast to
any one but you. Your last letter made
me feel so happy and 1 am so proud to
receive your praise, to feel that never
have 1 given you an hours trouble or
unhappiness. To hear you say that,
dear angel, is more to me than any am
bition in this world.
"Do you ever think that 1 have no
heart to love because 1 follow profession
that keeps me nearly away from you? I
know that you never do feel so, for you
know love you. Sometimes remember
and think of how you always love to have
us children tell you how much we love
you.
Goodbye for short space. This
letter is hurried. FOR there is a great deal
that must do. Love to every one. Good
bye for few days. Devotedly,
"WoRTH"

Thurston's Tribute.

Senator Thurston, in his Decoration
Day address in Arlington Cemetery, said:
1t was Gods providence that kept the
new world in all its virgin strength and
beauty until the restless races of men had
reached civilization fit to be transplant-
ed here. 1t was Gods providence that
gave strength and courage and victory to
the little band of sturdy patriots who
wrought the mighty miracle of American
independence. 1t spoke in every line of
the declaration of independence, it in
spired the pen of emancipation and the
sword of APpomattox. Columbus, Wash
ington, Lincoln, Grant Did chance Sc
lect them each for his glorious work so
gloriously performed? Let the fool an
swer how he will, prefer to see the FIN
ger of supreme design. That finger may
be, is even now moving toward another
hosts to a glorious victory for liberty and
humanity, who shall wreck Gods ven
geance on wicked. cruel, ,merciless Spain,
and drive from this hemisphere the last
vestige of tyranny and oppression. And
it may well be that some sword sheathed
in defeat by the Judgment of God, that
liberty might be the heritage of every
American child, will now by command of
Jehovah himself leap from its scabbard
to give liberty and self-government to
the oppressed and down trodden people
of the beautiful island of Cuba.
What an inspiring sight to see those
who once fought against each other now
rallying under one flag, exulting and re-
joicing that the azure field of the union
banner holds in equal honor every star of
Statehood, and singing together the re-
arranged music of the union-Yankee
Doodle and Dixie-the favorite airs"
