after a long lapse of time, several

would return to earth and reani-
mate it's former body hence their
custom of preserving the body by

called, the body was carefully en-
balmed and amid funeral cere-

Charley Darlington Stumbles Over
Them In all his Peregrina-
tionS.

In recent letter to the West
Liberty Banner. Mr.. Charley Darling
ton writes as follows of Judge John
Reese, of Broken Bow, Nebraska, an
ex-Mayor of Bellefontaine:
Il send you today an Omaha Bee,
containing picture of John Reese,
recently elected Vice State Commander
of Nebraska G. A. R. OF his army
career | know nothing, II think he
served two weeks) but had he remained
in the army, and this picture been
thrown out to public gaze prior to the
outbreak of our late unpleasantness,
the military appearance would have
struck terror to Spain, and our de-
mands been honored without struggle,
1t is sad to reflect that it requires
bloodshed to produce war heroes, as
it does time to bring them to the front.
There is peculiar feature about Ohio
men locating in this Western country
If they possess brilliancy in any line,
the are sure to get to the front.
Obituary notices and biographies of all
public men, prove this to be true. 1
had quite struggle myself on my first
| arrival to keep out of Office, and after
being worn out by opportunities, left
the affair in the hands of my friends,
since which time | have never heard
either. I think it was for Notary
Public.
''Judge Reese enjoys the esteem OF
his large circle of facquaintances, of the
Broken Bow district, and l am reliably
informed if change of Administration
had not caused a change in the Land
Office of which he had charge, the
name of the state would have been
altered from Nebraska to Reese. AS
it was, the Judge turned over to his
successor the bottle of ink and stub
pen. In appearance he has changed
but little, bearing the increased years
| with that dignity with which you are
familiar, and is probably a little
heavier "sot" than formerly"
1t was our good fortune to run across
Judge Reese, at the Grand Army Re-
ception in Philadelphia, and he looks
as fine and portly as in his palmiest
days in Bellefontaine. His whole
breast was covered with decorations
bought of the street vendors at a
nickle a piece) showing that he is high
up in Grand Army circles. We gave
him cordial invitation to stop off al
Bellefontaine, on his way home, and he
''didn't know but he would"
Darlington is evidently proud of his
native State; but his modesty always
was an air brake on his ambition, or he
might have been as big man as Judge
Reese.

THE Urbana Times-Citizen objects to
Americans snubbing France, over the
Dreyfus affair, because France has
been our historic friend! France any
body's friend? Since when? 1t is true,
she helped our fathers in the Revolu-
tion, but it wasn't because she had any
love for them, but because she hated
England, and wanted to cripple her
power. Didn't she send the Indians
with torch and scalping knife to mur-
der our frontier settlers and burn their
homes? Didn't she try to drive them
back and conflne them to the At
lantic slope? Didn't she insult our in
afnt Government and almost force us
int war in the time of Jefferson?-
Didn't she try to induce England to rec
ognize the Southern Confederacy?-
Didn't she send an army over and set
up monarchy in Mexico, in defiance
of the Monroe doctrine? And didn't
she refuse to pack up and leave, till they
heard that Sheridan was only twenty
miles away, with an army of veterans?
And finally, didn't France, only little
over year ago, help Spain try to work
up an European alliance against this
country? Tell us of Punic faith, Bro.
Snyder, but tell us not of French love.
We.may owe love to France as we do to
all men; but as an old lover, she has
only been full of jealousy and bitter
ness.
