There 10 q distinctly peculiar halo that
invests the Being Of an old soldier In the
eyes OF the present generation. The sight
OF him aroases afeeling Of admiration for his
brave deeds and heroic achievements.
Among those who bravely fought was
DR.. L. ]. Clark, who, when but beardlcss
boy, heard the tocsin Of war sounded.
1t fired his patriotic spirit to fefvency
that found relaxation only In his realization
Of fighting In the battles.
Tothe calf Of President Lincoln for troops
In the latter part Of 81, young Clark
promptly responded.
There was need Of men In the navy, and
he Joined that service In the mortar fleet
d Admiral Porter, which soon after began
operations On the Nississippi River.
At the terrific bombardment Of the
Vicksburg forts, the hero Of this story fell
on the deck Of the JuGctte with shattered
arm from charge Of sehrapneI
He lay In the hospital for months, and
when he had recovered sufficiently to be
moved, was sent to his home at Warren, o.
Though partly incapacitated for active
service, his patriotic zeal got the better Of
him, and when the calf for more troops
came, young Clark enlisted in company
formed by Capt. Joel l. Asper, at Warren.
1t became Co. H. Of the 9TH Ohio Volun-
tesrs and was sent to the Amy Of the Poto-
macunder General Grant then campaigning
In Virginia against General Robert E. Lee.
In skirmish near Richmond, he was
wo.ndcd again and was seat to the hos
pital. He remained there for some time,

but finally recovered, and went home.
Shortly after, he began the Study Of veter-
mary surgery, and, when completed, wen.
to Chicago, where he has resided for thirty
years, and Is now one Of the leading su--
geons OF that profession In the city.
His old wounds began to trouble him
several years ago. He grew weak, ema-
ciated and thoroughly debilitated. His
friends began to despair Of his life.
He was but shadow Of his former self,
weighing only 90 pounds, loss Of nearly
so pounds. He had the best medical attsn-
ton, bot II did not benefit him.
Finally friend gave me boz Of Dr..
Williams Pink Pills Tor Pale People, ," said
DR.. Clark. "After taking the pills was
so much benefited that purchased a half
dozen boxes and took them.
"They were of more benefit than the
ablest physicians treatment. By thcis aid
alone, soon regained my strength.
II weigh $50 pounds now, and except
for injuries that can never be remed;ed,
am as well as ever.
~ consider DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People the best remedy / know of to
build up a rundown SYSTEM"
To-day Dr.. Clark is picture Of health.
He Is 50 years old, an active member OF
Hatch Post G. A. R., and resides at 1885
Ashland Ave, Chicago.
Many veterans have found DR.. Vii
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People of inestim-
able value IN counter acting the unhealthfuI
effects OF army life. All druggists sell
these pills and highly recommend them.

The First of the Family 10 Come TO
America.
When Longfellow wrote "a thing
FOR fiouts and sneers and jeerS is an
American aristocracy" he could not
have meant 1t in literal sense. There
are many families in the United States
who can show as illustrious descent,
and whose achievements in peace or
war would favorably compare with the
renowned families of older nations
were our institutions strained in order
distinctions. Nor could the poet
have intended that 1t was bad or un-
becoming thing to have come Of good
stock, or to have had famous forefath-
ers. AS we hope that our own deeds
shall be sweet and inspiring in other
ages, so we are all in duty bound to
revere the memories Of those who have
gone before u.s. Burke who uttered
SO many wise aphorisns has truly said
on this subject: "he will never look for
ward to posterity who never looks
backward to his ancestors; and their
deeds whether good or evil can never
be matter of indifference in the life
OF a nation"
And amongst those prominent fam
lilies who have enriched the history Of
the United States, and whose records
can never be subject Of Indifference
to our people is that Of the Lees of
Virginia The family Of Lee is prob
ably among the most distinguished in
martial deeds as well as in point OF
antiquity. And as illustrious public
services will always rate higher than
mere uneventful pedigrees, however
long descended may be the line or
numerous the quarterings. let us see
how the Lees OF Virginia measure up
in this important respect.
The first to whom there is mention
was the Richard Lee of Colonial times,
who was Secretary of State for Vir-
ginia. He's said to have been six feet
high with handsome face denoting
spirit and enterprise, and which ap-
pear to be characteristics that have i'm
pressed themselves upon all his de-
scendants. In the time of King
Charles he received large grants of
land Of Virginia where he died in 1868

General Wheeler.

The military man who, next to Col.
onel Roosevelt, has been fortunate in
the reputation he has made out of the
war seems to be General Wheeler.
He has filled conspicuous places both
at Santiago, when General Shafter
was sick, and more lately at, Camp
Wickof. Being an older man than
Colonel Roosevelt, and not put to-
gether with the same quality of rivets.
he had the bad luck, which Roosevelt
escaped, to catch the fever inoppor-
tunely at Santiago. Every one knows
how resolutely he minimized that dis
advantage. All that we heard of him
in Cuba, and all that we have heard
Of his labors and reports and observa,
tions at Camp Wickoff, have tended
to make folks think of him as a truly
valuable citizen, wise, active, efficient,
very able soldier, and possessed of
an admirable spirit. Wherever we
hear of him, he is doing good. When
ever we hear from him, it is someth-
ing worth attention. 1t is matter for
thankfulness that he is a member of
Congress, and that when military and
other important measures come up
there next winter his voice will be
heard and will carry weight. The
sympathy of the whole country goes
out to him In the loss of his son, Naval
Cadet Wheeler who was drowned
while bathing at Camp Wikof.-

GEN. ROBERT E. LEE.

His son, Major Richard Lee, was sent
to Oxford University, and when he re-
turned was appointed Naval Officer for
the Potomac River being succeeded in
that capacity by his son. He was
spoken of by the English Governor as
"loyal discreet person and a gentle
man of as fair character as any in the
country" the succession of the son
being a mark of esteem for the father.
This son, Thomas, accordingly be-
came president of the Kings Council
and Commander-in-Chief of the Col
ony and played a rather important
part In the early annals of Virginia.
He negotiated treaty with the six
Nations" or Indians which so advanced
the Kings interests that the Queen
Caroline sent him present Of $685.
On the occasion of the burning of the
family mansion at Stratford. This
was a mark of uncommon esteem, and
when Sir William Gooch. the Governor
of Virginia. died, he was appointed the
frst American Governor of his native
state. He left six sons, whom John
Adams alluded to as that band of
brothers, intrepid and unchangeable."
They were the neighbors and the
earliest advisers of Washington whose
home was only one mile distant. When
the famous Westmoreland declaration
against the Stamp Act was drawn up,
the official connections OF the Lee fam
lily was severed with England. Four
of these six brothers signed their
names to the Westmorelard declara-
ton and two, Richard Henry Lee and
Francis Lightfcot Lee, also signed the
Declaration of Independence. Indeed
this Richard Henry Lee has a most in
innate connection with the Revolution.
Like others of his family he was sent
to school to England and was so pain
fully reminded by the sons of England
aristocrats OF the inferiority OF the col
onists to themselves that he returned
from England a pronounced Re2ubll-
can and heEceforth resolved to make
his country free. 1t was he who drew
up in the Continental Congress the
famous stirring resolution that these
united colonies are and of right ought
TO be free and independent states, that
all political connection between them
and Great Britain Is and ought to be
totally absolved." One of his sons
was Washington's Attorney General
and the other was the famous dashing
Light Horse Harry" Lee. He raised
the independent corps of light cavalry
which he commanded and which under
the name OF Lees Legion" became
proverbial for the dash and bravery Of
fts men in the Revolutionary War. In
1873 at the head Of three hundred men
he captured the British fort at Jersey
City taking one hundred and sixty
prisoners for which Congress also pub
hely thanked him, and also presented
him with a medal and commission
in the army.
Light Horse Harry" was renowned
in war but 1t may not be generally
known that he was no less renowned in
peace and was the author of the phrase
used by Washington: First in war.

portunity, more self denial would
prevent the greater groaning. The
man, either in, or Of business, who
breaks with the old year even, has
either been hero in the struggle or
an uncommon good manager. Look
ing ahead, there is one thing that
sensible, not morbid, always wish
ing l had SO ard so, people can
do and that is, not 60 in debt. If
you have not the money to pay, do
not buy, for pay day and worry are
same as death. 1t is the little lila,
the little bills, that make life so I'M
bearable, worse than ths elephants
tread, and the way to stop it, is to
curb and down the desire for show,
nonsense and the unnecessary. That,
will at least, keep the constable from
the door. We propose to take our
medicine, avoid debt and break evens
with our fellow sojourners.

On Wednesday morning the dread
ed fire bell rang, calling people to
duty. The Fire Department ans
wered promptly, as they always do,
and rushed to the place announced,
"The Troy Laundry owned by
Messrs. Dorm and Quenzel. They
could do but little, and the fire was
prevented from spreading, but the
laundry was consumed and the ma
chinery badly damaged. There are
various theories as to the fire, and
as steam apparatus was used through
the building, there must have been
an escape OF fire somewhere that
had been overlooked in putting in
the machinery, as the laundry had
been built specially for the business.
We hear, there is some insurance,
but not enough to pay the losses.

Christmas Entertainment.

Long before the hour appointed
Wednesday evening last, the people
were crowding into the large First
NJ. E. Church, of this city. 1t was
the aucual Christmas treat to the
scholars, and at TAO the services be-
gan under the direction of Mr.. /. L.
Bender, superintendent. The pro-
gram was nicely rendered with
much credit to participants and to
those who trained them. The reel
tations were well executed and we'll
received by the vast audience. The
music by the school "The Prophet
of Nazareth was very fine and we'll
rendered. The decorations were
pretty and were the work Of COM
mittee, of which Miss Ida McElroy
was chairman. There were few
numbers on the program which de-
serve special mention. The recita-
tions by Ethel Chambers, Amy La
mar, Bernard Fetzer, Della Oliver,
and the solo and recitation by Jane
Friskey were exceedingly good and
we'll received. The duett by Edith
DeGrange and Nellie Grimes was
very pretty and sweet. The recita-
tion and solo by Miss Hattie Gran
than was far above the standard.
Miss Grantham is a natural elocu-
zionist. Her recitation "Christmas
Eve" was executed in graceful and
beautiful style, her gestures were
perfect and her voice clear and dis
tinct. Too much praise cannot be
given her as she merits all that is
showered upon her. We bespeak
for her a bright future in her sphere,
as her Rotations are well received
wherever rendered. Her solo "The
Guiding Star, was sung ia a clear,
sweet voice. Santa Claus, imper-
sonated by Mr.. Frank Hare, came
in at the proper time and created
much fun for young and old, espec-
tally the children. The school re-
ceived their usual treat Of candy.
The offering was rendered for the
support of needy Sunday Schools.
The Sunday School was assisted in
the music by the church choir and
Sunday School orchestra. Teachers,
S. S. Grantham and f. A. Cham
bers, received handsome teacher 5
Bibles from their respective classes.
Taking it in all, the entertainment
was one OF the finest ever given by
this school.
