right, and in moment had him ~
the collar and succeeded in bringing
him to the surface. Both men were
taken into the boat, and after hard
work the half-drowned sailor was re-
yived. The next day Dewey as execu.
tive officer called Mr.. Grant up to the
quarter deck, and before EVERYONE
thanked him cordially for his bravery
in rescuing the sailor. A few years ago
when Dewey, then commodore. visited
the Maine coast and called upon Grant
at Matinicus, the incident was recalled
and Commodore Dewey again compli-
mented Mr.. Grant.

best soldiers; but this is an error. Ae-
cording to the testimony of all expert
enced officers, men of bad character,
however brave, physically, are a curse
to any army. Such men are generally
the prime movers of characterization
and muttny, and, il there is any trea-
son at work, are pretty sure to be at the
bottom of it.
Moral courage is as essential in MILF
tary as in civil life, and it is not an at.
tribute Of the depraved and vicious. He
who goes to battle with clear con-
science, confident in the justice of the
cause for which he risks his life, and
believing that God is on his side, is the
only true hero. He is not bIoodthirsty,
he is not under the domination of
sanguinary and brutal instinct, but he
is enthusiastic where ardor is required,
calm and collected in emergencies,
and can bear up cheerfully against re-
verses, hardships and privations, under
which the desperate would wilt
down." or desert.
What but moral courage, born of in
tegrity of purpose and confidence in
heaven sustained the ragged, half
starved, ill-paid soldiers of a bankrupt
republic, in their desperate struggle
with the well-appointed legions of the
enemy, during the darkest hours of the
American revolution? The ice-ob-
structed Delaware had not been crossed,
the battles of Trenton and Princeton
had never been fought and won, the
horrors of the winter bivouac at Valley
Forge had never been endured, the in
estimable blessing of our national indie
pendence had never been attained but
for the moral courage and fortitude of
good and true men, at peace with God
and their own consciences.
Rowdies and desperadoes never
achieve such exploits, or submit pa
tiently to such hardships, as have made
the heroes of rs immortal in history.
IL may be set down as an axiom that
bad men never make good soldiers.

Frank had been walking in the gar.
den with his uncle, who had been ex-
planning to him how the plant was
rolled up in the tiny seed. and how the
sun and rain and air worked together
with the mysterious life that was in
the germ of the seed to unroll 1t and
make it stretch out into a tall, fruit
full plant.
He fell asleep in the arbor thinking
about it, and dreamed that he heard a
number of soft voices talking close 70
him. He listened, and soon came to
know that they were talking about
him, and seemed to be rejoicing that
they had found him.
Isn't it wonderful" one of the voices
exclaimed. Just to think that there is
a splendid man wrapped up in him"
Eyes, dear Faith" answered another,
"and it is our duty to help get the man
out. 1t viii be your turn first. What
will you do?"

And l." spoke up Promise will

sounded like soft zephyr, will watch

Are You Looking for Mailr

A sack containing about two thou
sand letters, addressed to all parts of
the world and written by men in the
klondtke or on the trail, was left at
Dyea some time ago by an outcoming
miner, who evidently kept the money
entrusted to him for the purchase of
stamps and his services as volunteer
mail carrier. The letters have been re-
ceived, and those intended for points
In California were sent to the San
Francisco Chronicle, which has sun
piled the necessary postage. The 9TH
ers are in the hands of o. Marcusee, of
Dyea, who is mailing many of them,
and hopes soon to have them all sent
to their destinations.

The First Shock of Rattle.


Men even of the strongest nerves and
the most undoubted pluck do not feel
quite comfortable when, for the first
time, under fire. 1t is no dishonor to his
manhood if the heart of the young SOL
der beats double quick" in his maiden
battle. This feeling soon wears off.
During the war in the Crimea the
men in the allied army were often
heard specializing, on the eve of a con-
h1ct, upon the probability of obtaining
certain articles of clothing, of which
they stood in need, from the bodies of
the Russians they expected to slay.
They never seemed to take into consid-
Grafton their own chances Of being
knocked over and stripped by the Rus
SLAMS. The cool and systematic manner
in which they provided themselves
with foot gear is worthy Of note.
When French or English soldier, on
the lookout for "unconsidered trifes"
after a battle, deserted on the field a
corpse Of the enemy whose boots
seemed likely to suit him, down he lay
on his back, and putting his soles
against those of the dead man, ascer-
tanned by that mode of measurement
whether the articles were near enough
to fit to be worth the trouble Of re-
fhoval.-EX.

PRAYER RRokE DROUGHT.
"A Gully Washer, a Trash Mover. s Pine
Enot WIoatary,

Gully Washer, A Trash Mover, Fine
Knot FIoater."
From the Washington Post: 1T was
awfully dry in Georgia once, remarked
Mr.. George Dallas. There had been
no rain for weeks, and the corn and
cotton were burning up in the fields.
The creeks had begun to dry up, and
even springs that had never been
known to fail gave signs that their
supply of the aqueous fluid was rum
ming low. 1t began to look as though
relief could never come from the
heavens. Day after day blazing sun
shone down from a eloudless sky, blis-
tering and whitening all vegetation
and expressing the Woodworking sons
and daughters of the land with fear
that distress would soon be their por-
tion-distress that might take on star
vation's form. About this time the
religious people of the county began
to hold prayer meetings to invoke as
sistance of the Deity. In every conf
munity the good old farmers and their
families assembled to pray for rain.
This was at an epoch when the scien-
tific ideas about producing rain from
explosives had not gained a foothoId,
and no faHirs went about, as they
lately have done in Kansas and other
parts Of the West, Offering to bring
showers at so much per shower. No,
indeed these were the times of simple
faith and belief in the efficacy of sup
plication to the Omnipotent. In one
neighborhood in the county of Coweta,
where the drought was particularly
severe, a prayer meeting had been
called for a certain day, and at the
time appointed a congregation of sew
eral hundred sufferers met to beg that
the drouth be broken. It CHANGED that
new preacher, who had but lately
come to that section, and who was, as
l remember, an exponent of the hard
shtll' Baptist creed, was called upon to
make the principal petition. He pray
ed ferVently and with all the fervor
OF an agonized spirit. o Lord said
he, Thou knowest our distress. We
beseech Thee come to our rescue. Lord, !
we don't want any of your little
drizzle- dozzles, but send us instead a
gully washer, a trash mover, and a
pine-knot fioater. Amen I hope 1 |
may never gain pardon for my faults
in the next world if there didn't come
within the next thirty-six hours after
the delivery of that prayer the biggest
rain that had ever descended on
Coweta county. The oldest inhabitant
couldn't remember such another de-
luge. 1t rained about three days with
out stopping; washed two-thirds of the |
fences through a big region into the |
Chattahoochie river; swept away every
bridge, and played havoc generally |
And the worst of it was that those
miserable countrymen who had in
cited the preacher to pray his best
wanted to drum him out of the coun-
try because of the emphatic response
to his entreaty for rain"

Denth Ratn hi Rntt1e.

OF the fifteen decisive battles of tina
world the average death rate in the
last five Of them (of which alone re.
liable statistics are preserved) was
about 20 per cent, ranging from 20 per
cent the British loss at Saratoga, to AZ
per cent, the loss of the Swedes at Pull
iowa. OF other great battles it is difh-
cult to fix the average death rate,
though it may be estimated at about 20
per cent. The rates range from O.9
(the German loss at Sedan in Septem-
Der, 1S9O,) to so per cent, the British
loss at Bloody Albuera. As a matter
of fact, things stand very much as they
used to do, save that the slaughter,
when it does occur. always comes more
quickly. A great battle in which the
quick-1ring guns can be brought into
effective use will probably increase the
death rate largely, but that remains
to be proved. General statistics prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not single year has elapsed in
which some war has not caused the
killing of a large number Of mon;
while it is calculated that all the
worlds wars are responsible for the
death of IA, 000, 10000 of human beings.

METHODS OF BUSTING.
GlImmertOn Hopes That Some Day Men
VIII Use Cloths as Women Do.

GlImmertOn Hopes That Some Day Men
VIII Use Cloths as Women Do.
Mans busting implement is a
feather buster, said Mr.. Glimmertsn;
"woman's is dust cloth. There can
be no doubt which is the better, but
each clings to his own. But l think
see signs of a change. 1 saw a boy
walk out of store uptown this morn
ing and walk across the sidewalk to
the curb and stand there and shake a.
dust cloth, just as a woman would
shake one out of the window. l don't
know where the boy got this notion,
whether he made the discovery him
self that, except Under favorable con-
ditions, with doors and windows open
at both ends and wind blowing
through, stirring up dust with a dus-
ter only serves to redistribute it, or
whether there is woman in this store
who insists on dust cloths and has
taught the boy the use of them. May
be as the boy grows up and becomes
confirmed in this way he will teach the
use of the dust cloth to others, and
to his children, and they will teach IT.
to their children, and so it may finaIIy
come about in this simple manner
that all men will come to use it, and
that the feather buster will CO."

All the Boys Have Gone to War.

All the Boys Have Gone to War.
New York Sun; Over on the west
side of the city, where most of the
armories are, the boys have caught the
war fever" with vengeance. When
school hours end, then the boys gather
and put on their uniforms, which are
something great" Paper caps, leg
gings made from brown paper or cotton
cloth, sticks for guns OF swords, and
a good strong voice make up the equip
ment. Then the company starts out to
parade. Fire crackers, torpedoes, flags
and other martial accomplishments are
carried in abundance, and as the
youngsters swing down the side streets
they make noise enough to stir the
blood of fish. It is not an uncommon
thing to see half a dozen companies OF
fifty or seventy-five boys each parading
in different side streets within an hour.
No distractions can be placed in the
streets, or there would surely be fort
at every other corner in the city. But
up in the less thickly settled districts
that is different. If the Spanish ever
landed in New York they would find
at least one formidable fort confronting
them at Kingston road and the boule-
ward. Up on a high and large rock at
the intersection of those highways
there is a monster fort, built by the
boys. The Notifications are at least
twenty-five by thirty feet in size. The
ramparts are built of plllaged stove
iron and scrap iron, with guns made OF
sewer pipe and stove pipe frowning
from every emhrasure. The place is
called Fort Washington, as one may
see by a sign on the ramparts, Then.
thereGere other signs, all neatly let
tered, such as:
Dewey? I guess we do"
'On to Cuba"
Down with Spain"
A big American flag waves over the
fort all day and is hauled down every
night with due ceremony.
A man looks once at a girls face;
