A man in a sweater entered an Ad- irondacl1 store a few days ago and stood about disconsolately while a couple of elaborately- gowned women priced deerskin rugs, balsam pillows and birchbark picture frames. An other man who recognized the first conner as a prominent member of the Appalachian club addressed him;
 'eThe wilderness must be spoiled for you, now that it is cut up by four railroads, isn't it?"
 The Appalachian club man picked up a piece of souvenir china which bore the legend: sJohn Browns Grave" and fingered it gingerly. "Wilder than ever, wilder than ever," he answered, shortly.
 "How's that?' persisted his ques- tioner.
 Hotels so full of women I never set fcot in lem; sleep out every night; big rabbit nibbles my toes,while porcupine scratches my ear, Wilder than ever, l tell you"

battle and the father by his own hand, when he was informed of his sons death.
 Mayimin's triumph was brief, how ever; he was soon afterwards mur- dered by his own soldiers, who then took the last of the Gordian, lad of 13, and, carrying him through the camps, proclaimed him emperor-an honor as dangerous as it was exalted, for five emperors had fallen in less than a year, some in battle, some by poison and some by the knife of the as- sassin.
 As might have been expected, the reign of the boy emperor was of short duration. The great Roman world, made up of many different peoples and held together by force of arms alone, rose to throw off the yoke. Five years after he was made emperor young Gordian took the field with his army and hurried into Asia to repel the Per Sians, who had sssailed the frontier.

History tells of more than one sturdy youngster who, long before manhood was reached, was inured to the hardships of camp and the hazard of battle. Many of these boy warriors with years and experience developed into great generals. Some did not, and their story is very sad and brief indeed.
 Almost 2,o0o years ago, when mon ster named Maximin was emperor of Rome, there dwelt in the imperial city a famous family, called the Gordian.
 The head of the Gordian had been appointed pro-consul of Africa, and

He had fought one or two unimportant battles when he was poisoned at the instigation of one of his generals, who aspired to the purple.
 Some centuries later still another boy, German prince, Conradin by name, was struggling for that part of the Roman world known as the king dom of Naples, which his father had won from the degenerate Italians. He led his army in triumph over the Alps and through northern and central Italy. It was doubtless all like gor- geous pageant to the young prince, his soldiers in their brilliant uniforms and polished armor. with waving silken flags and pealing bands of music.
 Thus attended, Conradin swept down upon the borders of the kingdom he lad come to claim, and his success seemed certain, when he suddenly found himself pitted against men of experience. He was outgencraied by the veteran Charles of Anjou. His troops were cut to pieces, while he
