BRAvERY,s REWARD.
somsthIng Our Heroes VIII Have to F@c'
When They Return Home.

GomsehTng Our Heroes VIII Have to Face
When They Return Home.
The late Archibald Gordon, one Of the
very best writer's of English the press of
this country has ever employed, once wrote
to the New York Sun complaining that a
Hebrew merchant had stolen the name of
Gordon, which any one could see at a
glance did not belong to him and was
using it on his Broadway signboard. Mr..
Gordon's letters on the subject were char
enthusiastically witty ana entertaining, but
the point that he raised was a serious one
one that I should be glad to see taken
up and satisfactorily disposed of by those
vested with the proper authority, for it
seems to me that a man who has achieved
distinction of the kind that imparts any
luster to his name should have the exclu-
sfye right to the use of that name as a
trademark for car wheels, cuffs, collars,
cocktails or any other articles of merohan-
disc.
I am moved to speak of this by a con-
versation that I overheard the other day
between two young girls who were discuss
ing art, fashion and letters from their own
point of view.
''what kind of hat did you get,
NamieP''
II got me a Dewey sailor, and it's a
beauty. Only 4S cents. I'm going to have
a Shafter skirt too.''
''Why d1du . you ge5 one OF IneLn hooSe-
velt REFERS too? / was down to RockRway
last Sunday and there wasn't a girl on the
boat but what had one. You can get 'em
at Cash g Hustle's for $1.9S."
"Ain't that where your friend Mr..
Pointdexter, is9''
Eyes, he's on the art floor. He was
moved up from the tinware last week.
He'd been selling nothing but Sampson
boilers down stairs, and they opened n line

Is it for this that men seek fame even at
the lannon's MOUTH Is there no law
which can give man-even IL he chance
to be a hero-exclusive right to his own
nameH We thought when newspaper illus
tratfon was invented and the obituary

of perfection that the worst penalty for
greatness had been discovered, but is not

ne nred both shots at the ghost
GAS have returned the blade of your
saber to you, now 1 return the bullets
from your pistols, - said the ghost, throw
ing two pistol bullets on the mantel.
Precipitation could be distinctly seen on
the captains brow, and as he painted for
breath he muttered: "That is strange very
strange. Perhaps it is the truth the dead
may leave their graves. How pale he is p
1.-THE ten minutes have elapsed, Dumon.
I must leave you forever. I forgive you,
and there is my hand. A last handshake,
and am gone"
Captain Dumon took the hand offered
in his own. It was icy and stif-the very
hand Of dead man-and as he shook it
the whole arm, following the impulsion
given, fell heavily on the straw.
Captain Dumon of the Tenth dragons,
one of the bravest officers of the French
army, uttered terrible CRY and fell back
senseless.
''You have lostI You have losti'' cried
we, entering his tent.
He was speeohless and unconscious. We
rubbed his face with Snow. and one of the
men ran for surgeon.-
1t was a long time before he revived,
and we were all of US making piteous
faces. For my part, WAS ashamed of my
self.
When be recovered, he admitted frankly
that he had been thoroughly frightened,
and two days after the taking of Sevasto-
pol we feAsted at his expense, but five Of
US were missing. They slept their last
sleep far away from the country for which
they had given their lives. May God grant
them eternal reposel Amen.
A little explanation is necessary. 1t was
not his saber that Captain Dumon tried to
use against his visitor, but broken one
picked up on the battlefield; the bullets
had been taken out from the pistols and
the arm that fell on the straw had been
given to me by our surgeon major.-Ex'

A newspaper report ofthe speech

that Atwood, as democratic politi-
clan, had long been the target for
Colonel Anthony's criticism, but
was called on to try his case be-
cause Senator Baker, who, was
Colonel Anthony's attorney, was ia
Washington. Atwood's eloquent
plea for his client was in part as fol-
lows:
&c. The one thing that is
wrong about the case is that Your
Honor cannot find against both the
parties to this suit. From the
standpoint of personal merit, neither
of them ought to win. Neither Cd
them came into court with clean
hands, and I have doubts about
their feet. But Anthony has paid
the taxes for many years on the
property.
This is playing the part of the
good citizen, a part that is new to
him, that sets awkwardly upon
him, and one that startles the COM
munity with its novelty. But since
he is playing this part he ought to
be encouraged in it by being per.
mitted to win this suit. When You
find one doing right for the FIRST
time in his life, the thought of dis.
