wounded, and to the friends Of the dy-
ing soldier. who without regard to race
or religion, received the kind and atten-
tive care of these Christian women. In
their ministrations, mark how I'M
obtrusive, gentle and diligent they
were, performing their lf-inposed du-
ties by day and by night in all kinds
of weather; battling, as it were, with
all the hardships and miseries OF war.
Fortunate, indeed, in their sufferings
were the comrades who received their
nursing and attendance. Their pres
ence alone was a blessing.
Untold thousands Of wounded. diving
soldiers, brought in fresh from the bat
tle-feld during fratricidal war. were
nursed and tended with mothers care.
and the last moments Of these young
departing soldiers-far away from their
beloved and anxious relatives-vere
soothed and tenderly watched. as their
brave, young lives prematurely ebbed |
away until their eyes were closed in |
death, by these children Of God, per
chance the only ones to witness their
heroic deaths, and then to write their
last parting words to their loved ones
at home.

soldiers Of the war, who are daily pass

Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that stil she lives.
Blind Carolan, who died in 173S,' was
the last Of the barde. He roamed about
the country, belonging to no chief, hav-
ing no home, but heartily welcome in
the homes and reigning like a king in
the hearts Of the Irish people.
But though the bards are gone, their
music remains. and has so spread
among the Irish people that they may
be called a race of musicians. We can
hear the old bardic airs ringing from
every field, from every glen-hilltOp
seems to shout them unto hilltop, the
very air seems full of them. We hear
them sung by the ploughbOy. the milk
maid, the shoemaker, the car driver.
We hear them poured forth by bag
pipes and viOlins at fairs, at weddings,
at christenings. As Moore says:
Dear harp Of my country! in darkness

victims are Thomas Heenan, is

Frank Smith. II years old, OF No. 424

the boys came to the hospital they
were in the greatest agony, and were
almost unable to walk. The back Of
each is burned bright red. and big
blisters, each the size of grape, are
on their arms and backs. 1t will be
several days before they will be able
to leave ''e hospital. According to
the story I'D by the boys, they were
in the water near Noble street wharf
They had been swimming for some
time when policeman put in an APP
pearance. They were afraid to come
out for fear he would arrest them
Consequently they were compelled to
stay in the water and under the hot
sun Tor some time.
When they finally came out OF the
water it was difficult for them to put
on their clothes. The blisters had be-
gun to form on their backs, and they
almost tainted with pain. Through
the kindness OF a passing wagon
driver they managed to ride to within
a square Of the hospital.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.

Man Who Lost His Life In Efforts to
Find Northwest Passage.
Sir John Franklin, although not the
first of our Arctic explorers, may fairly
be described as having opened for this
century the chapter of systematic Arc
tic exploration. Franklin had rem
dered varied and brilliant service to his
country as seaman before he had any
thought of setting out to discover the
Northwest passage. When still mere
youth he had fought In tho battle of
Trafalgar, and some ten years later on
he bore gallant part In the attack on
New Orleans. From that time Frank
lin may be said to have given himself
up altogether to Arctic exploration. es-
pecially with view to the discovery
of the Northwest passage. That dis
covery will always be identified with
his name. No chapter in modern his
tory is more touching, more mysterious,
more full of awe. than that which tells
Of Franklin's absolute disappearance
from the eyes of the civilized world.
Many of us can still well remember the
untiring efforts made by Franklin's de-
voted wife for the recovery of himself
and his comrades, how she refused to
admit that efforts for his rescue were
futile, how she hoped against hope, and
perseveIed to the last. The writer Of
this article had the honor of meeting
her, and of knowing we'll some Of the
gallant explorers, Dr. Rae especially,
who went out time after time to the
frozen regions even when they had no
better hope to inspire them than the
hope of finding Franklins remains. All
that could be accomplished was accom-
plished in the end, and the world came
to know how and where Franklin and
his comrades had persisted. The Arc
tic explorer has become one of the he
roes of civilization, and is often, as in
Franklin's case, one Of its martyrs

Happened to Young Woman When She
Took Her Walk.
This Is an observant young mans
account Of what happened to a young
woman as she walked for two blocks
down Charles street in front Of him
on Saturday: She dropped her pocket
book and scattered to the four winds
at least fifty cards and slips OF paper.
The extremely high heel on her shoe
turned and she walked on her ankle
for space. This happened four times
in the two blocks. The wind wrapped
the train of her gown around her and
nearly sent her headlong to the pave
ment. She tripped over her gown in
front. The breeze unfastened the end
of her veil and slapped her in the eye
with 1t. She ran into a harmless and
highly unobjectionable old gentleman
because she wore her hat so far over
her eyes that she couldn't see people
coming toward her. She lost her
handkerchief out of her sleeve. Now,
this young woman, the observant man
declares, wasn't particularly awk-
ward; she was just smartly dressed
girl in the year of grace 1900, taking
a walk, presumably for her health, and
battling with some of the fashions of
