of a man who had a remarkable mem

James A. Garfield. When l was 10
years old 1 ran away from school and

Forty second Ohio. Down in Eastern
Kentucky, Garfield, who, although only
a Colonel, was brigade commander, or
ganized a raid on Pound Gap, a strong
position, and personally selected de-
tachment from each company in the
regiment to take part in the attack.

l went back to my mule and made
tracks for the camp. 1t was dark, and
1 lost my way and remained missing
five days. After l returned 1 was
marched up to Garfield, who examined
me, listened to what l had to say, and
then sent me to my tent under arrest,
telling me l would be court-martialed.

Isolated Peop1e.

The people who live in the northern

are probably the most isolated in the

The inhabitants of the new Siberian
Islands are also detached people, for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once a year even If the
