TRUE CHIVALRY.
The Real Hero of Chapultepec, VIII.
liam s. Walker. ard Ills Mag
unanimous Act.

The war with Mexico is part OF
our martial history. Taylor and Scott
md Davis and Lee came out Of it i'm
Mortal. The epic of that great strug-
yIe was the stormng of Chapultepec.
That frowning fortress was the Glib
raItar of Mexico. Its massive walls
,eemed impregnable. But AMERICAN
daring halted at no obstacles. and an
intrepid band of volunteers was chosen
to scale and assault it, says the Chi
cago Journal.
Among the first of the dauEtless few
who braved their way through shot
and shell t o the fortress on that dread
full day was a young Mississippian
handsome as Alcibiades, proud, con
fident and thrilling with patriotic fer
vor. He was among the first, if not
the first. to scale the wall, and, sword
in band, dashed along that storm
swept rampant in advance of all his
fellows to cut down the waving flag
of the enemy and reap the immortality
of the deed. He was the first to reach
The Gag; his sword was raised. when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.
He paused, turned and saw his com
manding officer, to whom he was ten
derly attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississipppian,
without a moments hesitation, with
the bow of a Chesterfield. lowered his
sword and with the point It rest stood
aside while his friend and command
ing officer cut down the flag of Mexico
and was bulletined for the laurels of
that splendid day.
In the history of battles there was
never a more gallant, more chivalric
deed than that. And the real hero of
Chapultepec, manned and gray, but
glorious still, sits just before me here
tonight in the person OF my noble and
beloved friend, Gen. William S. Walker,

False syntax Corrected.

There appears to be no end to the
humor of examination. Here is the
latest story that has come to us, and
that to US, at least, is new. 1t appears
that at an elementary examination in
English which was lately held IN
school near New York city two SEN
teaces were given out TO be corrected
by the younger scholars. The first
sentence was to be corrected as to its
subject matter and the second as to its
syntax. These were the sentences;
"The hen has three legs"
''Who done it?''
When the papers were handed in it
was found that one of the examines
had apparently regarded the sentences
as subtly connected in thought, for bis
answer was as follows:
"The hen didn't done it; God done H.

THE REBEL YELL. JR.
It Is Now the Rallying Cry Of
American Troops.
When 1t Is Given the Boys I'm Blue
Press Forward with the Sons
of Those Who Wore
the Gray.

The American army has adopted the
rebel yell.
The famous war cry of the eonfeder-
hcy is alive to-day, but it is the boys
in blue who unlimber their vocal
chords and screech like lot of old
'.rebs" as they dash to the charge.
The men of Massachusetts yell just
as Justify as the men south. of the Ma
sen and Dixon line, In fact, the north
ern troops, and particularly those
from New York, seem to place great
confidence in ihe horrible screech.
The roar and rousing cheer which en-
couraged the boys of '61 who were bat
Ting for the preservation of the union
seems to live in memory only,
It has been succeeded by the blood
eurdling yell which the wearers of
the ragged jacket" made heard far
above the howl of the shell, the roar of
the cannon or the bark of the musket.
In 'ss the old rebel yell is heard again.
1t Is not generally known that yell
Ing when the charge is en- is prescribed
in the army regulations.
fWhen from 30 to so yards from the
enemy emit YELL" saith the drill
book, and the yell that fills the air
is the plain, old-fashioned rebel 'Y--
Yo-Yo-Wo-Wo!" The New Workers
turn loose a fearful yell when they
charge, and the Fifth regiment of
Maryland let's go an even more dan
gerous howl. The sound is nothing Of
the nature of cheer. It is wild, un
earthly cross between a screech and
yell. that is calculated not only to
strike terror to the enemy but to en-
courage our own boys. The yell is sup
posed to put the finishing touches to
the enemy. The Americans in their
charge. having covered all but about
20 yards of the distance until the Span
iards are reached, dash forward from
douhle-guick to a mad rush, yelling
wildly. for the triple purpose of en-
couraging each other and confusing
and terrorizing the enemy.
There is not question of doubt that
tie battle cry of the American army
Is the "rebel yell" of old, and its adop-
tion by the boys in blue is great COM
pliment to the men who set it to music
of bullets 81 years ago.
The Fifth took to the yell most nat
rrally. There are men in the COM
mand who "sang in the choir of '61,
and who are delighted to hear the re-
vival of the old but neverto-be-for
gotten melody"
Capt. Lee Coldshoreugh, of company
1, says the yell, junior, is thes real
thing. and is of the opinion that it is
the sweetest Emusic" he ever heard.
When tEe "orter TO charge" is given
the men Start forward at double
quick. Then, as the cnemy's line is
neared, the spurt begins. the yell is
given and all is over, perhaps. During
every skirmish drill scores of men may
be seen rushing over the hot sands
against an imaginary foe. yelling like
wild. The yell, it is hoped, will prove
very effective against the Spaniards,
who by this time have heard it, andun
derstand that it is backed up by line
of cold steel manipulated by muscular
American arms.-Tampa Cor. Balti-

Melted as the snow

1iarge versns smail wars,tps.

One argument that has been made
in favor of building comparatively
large n+44RbeEof snalwarshi hips. the1
than smaller number Of large vessels
with large crews, Is that the smaller
ones afford the greatest number Of in
tenin nranders and 'oppor-
tunities of training for command. Be
tween 1872 and 1888 76 sea-going fight
ing ships were launched for the British
navy, varying in displacement between
$50 and 1900 tons, and the number Of
men and officers in these ships ranged
from 50, in the smallest, to 22O in the
largest. These ships were to be found
all over the world Admirals, contains
and leading officers of to-day were all
trained in them, and splendidly
trained. These ships, however. have
been displaced in recent years by
larger vessels, with larger crews, max
ing for each command larger claims on
naval estimates and on the reserve OF
men. Some OF the foremost authori-
ties now lean to the opinion that too
much trust is placed In big ships and
too little in the skill, enterprise and
valor which may be had in the dfrec-
tion and management of ship of mod
crate size. To multiply such smaller
ships is to multiply he chances of get

Riding on Turtles Backs.

Having had considerable experience
in turtle catching, know swimmer
can frequently approach a sleeping tur-
tie from behind and leap on its back
before it awakes. The creatures first
impulse is to dive, but if its rider
knows his business be can instantly
bring it to standstill by forcing his
fingers into it's horny eyes, when it at
once floats motionless on the surface.
In the case Of midshipman whom l
know of he got on turtles back and
enjoyed ten minutes ride, sometimes
on the surface of the water, sometimes
under, before he brought the animal to
a standstill.
Three things are certain-first, the
ability of man to get on sleeping
turtles back; second, by sitting far
back on its shell to keep it near the
surface; third, to instantly stop its Ca.
reer by reducing it to blindness. Hav.
ing regard to the brevity and simplicity
of Rougemont's account, can quite
well believe that lonely man on his
coral sand bank, with all his instincts
preternaturally sharpened, did actually
ride and guide the turtle as he has
stated. Admiral Moresby in London

lip. Suppose l ask some of the
other men that question: 1t would

"Oh, it's of no use asking the
other gentlemen" murmured the
sweet girl. II know for fact that
they haven't any more idea than
you. Yes, she added pensively,

The Evils of Gum Chewing.

Aside from being an unpleasant
habit and one not approved as good
form, gum chewing is productive of
facial deformities, which are likely
to increase until they distort the
countenance and entirely alter the
natural expression. The continued
use of one set of muscles enlarges
and strengthens them and conse-
quently makes them moro promi-
nent. There have been several in
stances where medical advice has
been sought upon the idea that there
was some swelling or enlargement
of tho muscles or glands, although
no pain had been fslt. Gum chew
ers ordinarily use but one side of
the mouth, thus throwing an undue
amount of work upon that side of
the face. 1t is well to distribute
this labor equally between the mus
cles of the jaws if the practice must

THE RED CROSS.

They, too, have heard the drumbest
They follow the bugle's call.
These who are swift with pity
On the field where brave men fall.
When the battle boom is silent
And the echoing thunder dies,
They haste to the plain red sodden
With the blood of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with crimson sign,
Pledge of great compassion
And the rifted heart divine
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss
These to the field of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle
And heed the drumbeat's cali,
But their errand is one of pity
They succor the men who fall.
