Taking it all in all Gen. Graham said he had
doubt that the medical department at
Camp Alger was administered in a compe-

individual instances of neglect, but they were
not the rule. If properly located Camp Alger
would have been very healthful ard the re-

The civil war had been over just ten
years when Glory Price was born.
They called her Glory because, when
her soldier father had, with awkward
tenderness first taken the warm little
bundle into his one arm, he had glanced
up at the bullet-riddled flag that al
ways hung above the family mantel,
and said. softly: Margaret, 1 nearly
gave my life for old Glory and you
all but gave yours for, baby. Suppose
we call her little Glory?'" And the
gentle mother had answered. ''AIl right,
John. she shall be our little Glory
The neighbors had said it was a silly
sort of name; that Harriet or Susan,
or even a fancy name like Rose, would
have gone beautifully with Price, but
they for their parts never knew a child
with such a fool name to come to any
good, and they one and all hoped that
she would be true to her name and not
come to an inglorious end; but it was
plainly evident they did not look for
any such a miracle, and would be al
most disappointed if the united predic-
ton of the neighborhood should prove
untrue.
Notwithstanding the shadow of her
name, little Glory thrived and grew so
sweet and winsome that even passing
strangers would stop to pat the crown
of golden curls and gaze into the per-
feet face.
Nothing pleased her childish fancy
more than to hear tales OF the uphold
ing of the old flag, and oftentimes with
shining eyes she would stroke the
empty sleeve and look up into the
weatherbeaten face she loved so well

afioat with one who was serving under
the old flag, until she read that the
battleship Maine-Jim's ship-had been
ordered to Havana harbor to protect
American interests there. Unshed
tears trembled in. the blue eyes at the
thought that perhaps she should not
see him again, and, startled at what
she read in her own heart, Glory flung
herself upon her little white bed in an
agony of tears.
But Jim did come, just to say good
bye, and as he STROBE up to the old
Price homestead, Glory thought him
the handsomest and bravest looking
man she ever saw.

INTELLECTUAL VALUE OF CLUBS.
Why There Are No Great Writers
Among American Women.

In the last Century appears the sec
ond paper on Club and Salon. by Mrs.
Amelia Gere Mason, author of ''Wo-
men of the French Salons" Mrs Ma
son says:
1t is often asked by thoughtful for
eigners why American women, who are
free to pursue any career they like.
with ample privileges of education, and
the universal reign of the literary club,
have produced no writers of the first
order. measured even by the standards
of their own sex. One finds many clever
ones and a few able ones, but no Jane
Austen, no George Eliot, no Nine. de
Stael, no Mrs. Browning. This may
be partly due to the fact that we have
not yet passed the period of going to
school. 1t is possible that another gen.
Grafton, reared in the stimulating at
mosphere of this. may give us some
rare flowers of genius, if its mental
force be not weakened by the general
pouring-in process, or disSipated in
the modern tendency toward limitless
expansion and dilution. But club life
in itself is not directly favorable to Gre
atiVe genius.
The qualities of the imagination
never flourish in crowds, though a GER
tain order of talent does flourish there
"a talent that brings quicker returns
and more immediate consideration, at
far less cost. The salon made brilliant
and versatile women who were noted
for conversation and diplomacy; it
made charming women who ruled men
and affairs through rare gifts of adj
ministration, tempered with intelligent
sympathy and tact; it made executive
women, and finely critical women, and
masterful women, who left a strong
and lasting impression upon the ma
tional life; but, though they lived in
the main intellectual current of their
time, stimulated and inspired its lead
ers, and had much to do with it's direc-
ton, they seldom made a serious eff
fort in literature themselves. The few
who have left a name in letters only
illustrate the fact that individual gen

her thoughts had no time to crystal
