Mai. Lamar Fontaine is probably
enc Of the most interesting veterans
OF the Confederacy. He Is the only
representative OF Camp Sam Cammack
Of Koohoma county, Mississippi.
Mai. Fontaine has been a soldier
nearly all his life. and the story Of his
adventures in all parts Of the world
sounds like fiction.
He served in the Russian army dur
Ing the Crimean war. and at the siege
OF Sebastopol was decorated by Gar

for daring bravery during the battle.

smoke of that famous battle.
After leaving the Russian army he
travelled about the world in company
with an uncle. but was living in the
South at the opening of the civil war,
and enlisted as private in the Tenth
Mississippi Rifles. but was later trans
ferred to Company X, Eighteenth Mis-
sissippi regiment. While member of
this regiment. in August, 1861, he
wrote the well-known poem. IAN

since been widely copied all over the

Temptation.
A SHORT STORY.

1t occurred in the most unromantic
roundinEs. There Is probably no po-
sition in the world more fatal to ro-
nance. or more likely to crush all su-
perfiuous sentiment out of n mans
nature, than that OF a parish doctor.
The scenes of squalid misery he is COM
Islled every day to witness are more
mely to blunt and exhaust the sense
OF pity In the average man than to
develop it by exercise, especially when
q little experience has shown how
closely they are associated with vice
and deceit, and how certain Is the man
who gives way to his first impulsivc
Instinct OF charity to awake sooner or
later to the knowledge that he has
been cheated and laughed at ten times
by specious rogues for once that he
has been of any real help TO the un-
fortunate. And he Is apt to become
rvnical in consequence.
Richard Falconcr had started in life
with more rather than less OF the
usual romance and impractical senti-
ment of youth. The last thing he had
thought of had been the hard realities
of life. And, as natural consequence
those hard realities were now assert
ing themselves and fOraing themselves

comes back again to Elspeth. and she
shudders involuntarily. Then Magnus
says slowly:

and held 1t for a minute. He does not

suddenly. He has not called her Els

The Passion Of the Hour.

Every year modern habits become
more unlovely and modern sensibilities
more blunted. The preservation of what
is beautiful, per SO, at the present time
is almost always ridiculed. unless it can
be shown to be Joined to some profit or
utility.
The characteristic passion of the hour
is greed-greed of possession, desire
Of acquisition and passion for osten-
tation. Trade has become an octopus en-
bracing the whole world The thirst
for gain engrosses all classes. Beauty,
unless it be a means of gain, is to this
temper useless, or worse than USE
less, thing; it is regarded as stumbling
block and incumbrance. 1t is doubtful
if even the power of perceiving what is
beautiful has not in great measure left
a large part Of the population in all
countries. Modern cities would not be
what they are now had not the race tc
q great extent grown color blind and be.
come without the sense Of proportion.
Modern builders and modern engineers
would remain unoccupied were not the
generations which employ and enrich
them destitute Of all artistic feelings
