Glorious Pap" Thomas, the Rock Of
Chickamauga," made a major OF
regulars in 1861. Four years later he
was one of the greatest army command
ers in the field
Gen. John F. Reynolds who died at the
head of the First Army Corps, which
opened the battle of Gettysburg was a
captain when Sumter was fired upon
Custer, Fitzpatrick, Wilson and several
other brilliant cavalry leaders We're sec
ond lieutenants, fresh from West Point
In the four years they strode past cap
tains, majors and colonies of the old
army. Shall we see some Clusters, Kill
patricks and Wilson's spring forth from
the class of ninety young fellows hur-
riedly graduated last Tuesday? AS likely
as not.

THAT WAR AND THIS WAR.

Among the men of high rank in the
regular army I'm 1861 there was not one
under seventy. and most of them were
was crowding eighty. Wool, Patterson
and Cadwallader We're past seventy. Most
of the brigadier generals and colonels
were old men. Gen. Scott and the major
generals soon fell back TO give place to
young men, and little later most of the
old brigadiers and colonels joined them in
the rear.
A couple of resigned captains, gradu-
ates of West Point, who had been out of
the service for some years were among
the first to tender their services to the
Government. One of them, after almost
losing his patience waiting for recogni-
ton, was made colonel of a newly au-
thorized regular regiment and commanded
a brigade at the first battle of Bull Run.
When will the civilized world forget that
soldier-Gen. w. 7. Sherman?
The other was so obscure that he never
heard from that tender of his services
and few weeks later sought and was
given free transportation from his home
to Springfield, ILL.,. where he was glad
to accept a clerkship in the adjutant gen.
erals office. His family needed the sal
airy. Goodhearted, patriotic Gov. Dick
Yates was quick to discover mer-
it in the juliet, Industrious clerk.
A new regiment probably made
up of mischievous young fellows, was
disinclined TO submit to dictation from
its officers, and was causing the governor
no little trouble. When spoken to about
the mildly refractory volunteers the
quiet clerk modestly expressed the be-
lief that he could handle the boys, and
he was made their colonel. He did ham
die them. They obeyed and liked him.
and he liked and made one of the Prairie
States best regiments of them. AS long
as there is a world that modest, quiet
clerk of thirty-seven years ago will be
talked about.
What an ending there was for these
two obscure beginners-for Grant and
Sherman. What an inspiration their be-
ginning in the other war will be to men
who participate in this war.

Mr. Justice Ball, an Irish judge, was
noted for his amusing manifestations OF
ignorance, but whether they were real OF
pretended has never been clearly estab
lished. He tried n case in which man
was indicted for robbery at the house of a
poor widow. The first witness was ths
young daughter of the widow, who iden.
titled the prisoner AS the man who had en-
tered the house and smashed her mother {
chest.
DO you say that the prisoner at the bar
broke your mothers chest2' said the
judge in astonishment
"He did, my lord, " answered the girl.
ale jumped on it till he smashed it en-
tirely."
The judge turned TO the crown counsel
and said 'How is thisP Why is not the
prisoner indicted for murderY If he
smashed this poor woman's chest in the
way the witness has described, he must
surely have killed her"
But, my lord" said the counsel, at

compound as being thoroughly effcacious."
When the history of Paine's celery com
pound is studied it is easily understood why
its popularity is so enormous. Paine's celery
compound is the world d-famed discovery of
Prof. Edward Elisha Phelps M. D.. Ii. D.,
professor of materia medica at Dartmouth
college. Prof. Phelps unusual talent quickly
established his reputation and prominence
among his professional brethren.
He was fully alive to the dangers attendant
upon the American way of living, and he
sought diligently for some common-sense
remedy that would cure the common evils,
which, under one name and another, result
from an unhealthy state of the nervous
system. His labors were crowned with
glorious success, and he gave to the medical
profession the celebrated remedy which has
won worldwide fame as Paines celery com
pound.

Back of every smooth performance there is
an amolnt of preparation, study and re-
hearsal that soon tells on the health of every
actor. 1t is significant how unanimous men
and women in professional life, whether
actors, editors, teachers or physicians, are in
regard to Paine's celery compound As a
nerve tonic for the exhausting strain of their
professional duties nothing else does the
work of Paine's celery compound.
A testimonial taken at random from the
many that are constantly received from the

its remarkable invigorating capability, /
could unhesitatingly recommend it from my

fessional friends have been urging me to try

overcome the exhausting effects of close ap-
