general Of volunteers, who commands one
Of the divisions Of Skaters army and
whose men were engaged In the desperate
assault at Ell Caney. They have told Of
his long years Of service. of how he has
worked himself UP through the Lieutenant
cies to his present rank. and of the train
ing given him BY more than a quarter Of
a century Of experiences; but of the gigantic
size, the phenomenal strength and activ-
ity, the abnormal endurance, the utter
fearlessness and the inalienable pic

not been utterly refined out Of them, like
him.
Lawton reminds me always Of SCOTS
Norman baron, Front de Boeuf. He has
better morals, of course, as well as q very
pretty taste in red wines and reed BIRDS
but he Is as big as the giant slain by
Richard Of the Lion Heart, is as direct in
his methods, and, in personal or general
combat every bit as savage. There Is
plenty Of the primal man in him. What he
thinks he says. He has q strong sense of
Justice, but his temper is terrific and he Is
not gentle. He requires of subordinates
the utmost endeavor and gets 1t. He asks
no one to do work that he Is not COM
petent and willing to do himself. Natural
