A JEFFERSON
 COUNTY BOY
Receives High Houors at the Naval Academy for Personal Ex-
 cellence.

Some four years ago MT. Walter B. Tardy, of this county, was ap- pointed a cadet in the Annapolis Naval Academy by Maj. c. R. Breck- inridge, after most thorough and rigid examination. About ten days ago Mr. Tardy was graduated from the Academy with high honors, re- ceiying a handsomely engraved sword for personal excellence. The cadets under his command also re- ceived a flag for being the best drill- ed company.
 Since his graduation MT, Tardy has written to his friend, Mir. s. Y. T, Knox, of this city, stating that be had been transferred to the New York navy yard, where he is drill- ing 100 raw recuits daily for service in the navy. He also writes Mr. 1 Knox that as soon as the arrival of the new warships, the San Francis co and the New Orleans, which are now enroute to New York from Halifax, that he will be given a place on one or the ether of the ves- sells, and will immediately sail to sea l for active service.
 Mr. Tardy came from poor, but highly respected parents who re- sided several years in this county. His father died since his appoint ment, and his appointment, and his mother has since removed to Texas, but tbe many friends of the family will be glad to learn of young MT. Tardy's excellent record and his rapid promotion.

The recent death Of Capt. Allyn
K. Capron marked . pause in one
of the strongest, saddest little
dramas OF the whole war. Capt
Capron was commander OF the First
Artillery and one Of the veterans
Of tue regular service. He was =
widower with one son, who bore
bis name and whom he i6olized.
The young fellow was set upon be-
ing . soldier. but he was made OF
sturdy stuff and he determined to
win his way on merit strictly. So
lie enlisted as . private and eventu-
ally, through the system Of compti-
tive examinations: rose to the
shoulder straps. A civilian has no
conception Of the almost insurmount-
able difficulties that 1nvest such
task or what its accomplishment
means in downright hard work, cor
rect living, self-sacrifice and every
attribute Of sterling manhood. But
tie father knew, and The old artil-
leryman lost his blum taciturnity
in thrill Of visible pride whenever
he spoke OF his handsome, soldierlv
boy. When the war broke out
both Caprons went to the front, the
elder with his battery, the son as
captain Of Troop L OF tue Rough
Riders. In the deadly ambuscade
at Guaslmas young Capt. Capron
was shot dead while leading his
men in the very front and fury of
the fray. When his father heard
the news lie said nothing. He grew
y little grimmer, that was all, and
thereafter he seemed to be possessed
by one fixed idea to Wreak the ut
most possible destruction upon the
enemy. His battery on San Juan
hill opened the last decisive engage.
ment and never ceased To roar un-
til the red and yellow dag went
down and the white flag went M.
Throughout the battle he was made
Of iron. He trained the guns him
self, be helped carry ammunition, he
neither ate nor slept, and he looked
SO Wild and fierce his men were
afraid to offer remoastrance. Al
ter the surrender he appeared Of =
sudden to grow old and broken. |
He became ljstless, lost interest in
everything, and never spoke. |
Then he fell i'll and was sent home,
and few days ago lie died. Such |
IL the pitiful, true story Of two
brave soldiers.
