"OLD ABE
Live War Eagle Which Accompanied
the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment.

"Old Abe was the live war eagle which
accompanied the Eighth Wisconsin regi-
ment during the war of the rebellion. Old
Abe was fine specimen of the bald eagle.
Various stories are told of his capture.
but the most trustworthy account is that
Chief Sky, a Chippewa Indian, took him
from the nest while an eaglet. The nest
was found on pine tree in the Chippewa
country, about three miles from the
mouth of the Flambeau, near some rapids
in the river He and another Indian cut
the tree down, and, amid the menaces of
the parent birds, secured two young eagles
about the size of prairie hens. One of
them died. The other, which lived to be-
come historical, was sold to Daniel Nc
Cam for bushel of corn. McCann car
ried it to Eau Claire, and presented it to
company then being organized as part
of the Eighth Wisconsin infantry.
Old Abe was called by the soldiers the
"new recruit from Chippewa" and sworn
into the service of the United States by
encircling his neck with red, white and
blue ribbons, and by placing on his breast
a rosette of colors, after which he was
carried by the regiment into every engage
ment in which it participated, perched
upon a shield in the shape of heart. A
few inches above the shield was groOved

AconvivIAL ARTIST.
Famous Portrait Painter Who Did NJ

Famous Portrait Painter Who Did Not
Follow His Unc1e's Teachings.
John Wesley Jarvis, an Englishman
by birth and an American by adOp1 pa,
was for many years the best portrait
painter In the city Of New York, where
he died In 1910. "a was the best paint
err" he used to say, humOrOusly, be
cause others were worse than bad-so
bad was the best"
When Jarvis father emigrated to the
United States he left the son in charge
of his uncle, the celebrated founder or
MethOdism, with whom he remained
until he was five years old, when he was
sent to Philadelphia, where his father
resided. The uncle was plous and meth
Odical, but so slightly was the nephew
impressed by his teaching and example
that his after life was as unmarked
by piety as it was dotted all over with
disorder, shiftlessness and irregularity.
While Jarvis was painting the pOr-
trait Of Bishop Benjamin Moore Of New
York, the subject Of religion became the
topic Of conversation at one of the sit
tings. Jarvis had modelled in clay
head of Thomas Paine, with whom he
was intimate and in the same house
with whom he lived. doubtless these
facts prompted the bishop to ask jar
Wis several searching questions as to
his personal faith and practice.
The painter, VINO was wit and quick
with a retort, seemed intent at that mo-
ment on catching some feature OF the
prelate's face. Waving his hand, he
said:
Turn your face more that way, and
shut your mouth
The artist had wandered far away
from the religion of his distinguished
uncle.
John Wesley was noted as man OF
method and order. What the nephew
was. in the day of his success, may be
seen from the description of his paint
ing room, given by William Dunlap in
his History Of the Arts Of Design"
'Easels, palettes, some fresh set and
others with dry paint on them, brushes
clean and otherwise, pictures finished
or half-fnished or just begun, table
in the center of the room with glasses,
bottles. decanters, empty or half filed,
chalk and scraps Of paper, with or with
out sketches. and In the midst a lady's
hat and shawl. Once l found there his
wife with her infant and a cradle and
all the etceteras Of the nursery"
The artist, being fond of nOtoriety,

coat trimmed with furs, and was ac-
companied by two large dogs, one Of

the houses Of social magnates were

How Its Observance Brought About
the Relic of Needy Soldier
1t was May 80. All good people had
been warned to turn out and decorate the
graves of the dead brave in our cemetery.
1t was in the early days after the war, and
every one was ready to do his part The
speaker of the day, the town officials, the
village fathers were in carriages; the pret
ty young girls dressed in white represent
ed the different States and carried flowers
in their hands as they rode in the big, old
omnibus in the procession. numbering af
ter these came a dray carrying an easy
chair in which sick soldier was half re-
clining. He had been seen day after day
sitting at window by generous hearted
woman. She had entered and asked him
about himself; she had noted the poverty
in the room, the decrepit old father and
mother, and she had thought this was
good missionary work. She went out
among her neighbors, begging food, bed
ding, everything for the family. He told
her his story; how he had enlisted, start
ed for the front, had fallen i'll, suffered for
want of care in the barracks and had final
ly come home disheartened and crippled
for life. Poverty, extreme poverty, had
come to the family. A brother who had
q family of his own was the only support
OF them all. They were actually suffering
for food
So Decoration day came on and the good
friend caused the soldier to be taken to
the cemetery, where the address of the
day took its chief point from the afflicted
man, where a collection was taken up for
him and a new start given him in life. A
little stock of pins and needles and the like
was furnished him, string was fastened
to the oldfashioned latch of the outer
door, so that he could open it without trou
bic. and, as he lay upon his couch, he sold
trifles to his neighbors and friends. The
pension surgeon took his case in hand. the
lawyers pleaded his cause and after de-
lay of several years pension was granted
him and few years farther on back pay
was allowed him. Relief from care and
anxiety has contributed toward his amend
met in health and he is now much better.
All this is the fruit Of one Decoration

sive woman.-Exchange

he brought his bride, Mary Lee Fitzhush,
and here he spent the remainder of his
life, as quiet country gentleman without
ever giving any evidence Of possessing
much of the spirit of his honored grand
sire. He left but one living child, Mary

D ANOPLIES of leaf and bOugh
Wreaths of greenery, vine and spray,
Bring their glowing SplendOr now
In garlands for Memorial Day.
Blossomlng beauty stars the grass
In forms OF grace, with varied hue.
Even the fleecy clouds that pass
Springtime's wOndrous charms review.
Troops of swallows speck the air,
What can he more blithe than they?
Hurting here and darting there.
The light-winged cavalry of May.
Blandly, too, the zephyr's breath
Stirs with tender touch the flowers,
To say that rising life, not death,
Is master of these golden hours
For who can deem our heroes dead
When Mays fair blossoms crown their
sleep
And every grave is garlanded?
On fames bright scroll their names we
keep.
Somewhere in climes of fairer hue
Than comes to any earthly May,
To honor and 70 duty true,
Life must have come to them. And they
No more in conflict or In toll
Need mingle in stern battles roar.
In realms where nothing shall aSsail,
And life is theirs forevermore.
Though dumb today the cannon's mouth
While beauty springs from bud and spray,
And all the winds are soft and south,
Let reverence crown Memorial Day.

by Prof. Andree, which was found III II
bottle early in April near Ritotang. on the
