Ii Wasn't on the Firing Line, but at Grid
iron Club Banquet.

From tie Chicago Tribune.
About a year ago a big public dinner
was given by the Gridiron Club, of WASH
ington, at which Shafter. Lawton, Schley,
Sigsbee, and other war heroes were pres
ent, besides the peace commissioners, the
Canadian high joints, members of the
cabinet, diplomats, and President Nc
kinley.
Gen. Miles, who was a guest, late In
the afternoon decided TO wear an evening
suit, instead of his Uniform, and this, Of
course, governed the other military men,
Lawton, however. in some way was not
notified, much to his own disgust. He
was, however, the picture Of a soldier,
and Secretary Gage, after studying the
man while, said to his next-door neigh
Dor at the table:
THAT is my ideal of a soldier. believe
that man, If given a chance, will make a
name for himself in the history of his
country, and il necessary he would die al
the head of his troops with as stern a
sense Of duty as Il would salute his su-
DeriO- officer"
Shafter, Sigsbee, Miles, and the others
were called on in turn, and made little
speeches, and then the chairman men,
toned Lawton's name. He rose, tall,
trtCt, anu gray iVOhSH SiVGIlu liI6 FOoHl
moment, bowed, and sat down amid a
tumult of applause from the distinguish
ed guests present, who readily understood
his motives.
Later on, ON the firing line in Luz0n.
Lawton was chatting with a civilian
friend, who was rebuking him for his In
difference to the hostile bullets, and who
asked him if he was never afraid.
'+Yes. / was once, frightened TO death. -
| said the general, "and that was at the
| GridirOn dinner, when / was called on for
| a speech. II was out OF my line, and !
was q good deal more anxious than ever
was before Santiago against the IN
dians in the West, or here in LuZon."

A FAMOUS FIGHTER.
How Hunyadi's Name Was Given to the
SaxIehuer Springs Water,

A writer in Commerce, an English pub
licatiOn of considerable prominence. ex-
plains how the waters which enanate
from the Saxlehner Springs, near Buda-
pest, derived their striking name. He
says:
john Hunyadi, the worthy after whom
the water has been named, was a man
who made q fearful and wonderful repu-
tation in the fifteenth century-also In the
battlefield, for he was a born fighter
Relieve one of his earliest scrimmag ges
was in the war with the Hussites. in 1920,
and on that occasion he rendered valu-
able service to Sigismund, the then King
of Hungary. 1t was the Unspeakable
Turks. however, against whom John
Hunyadi directed his best energies and
mis- military accomplishments. He hated
the Turks like poison, and let them know
it, too. The Turks of those days had TAX
en- possession Of SZandrO, which was not
TO the liking of either King Sigismund or
his worthy henchman, John Hunyadi, so
during the year l457 the latter undertook
to drive the Turks out of the district. He
was as good as his word, and in recOg-
milton of this service to the Hungarian
community the King presented the dough-
ty John with several estates, and con-
feFred on him various handles to his
name. When q change occurred in the
monarchy, Hunyadi still retained proud
position at court, and came in for more
favors. Notwithstanding these hngiy
attentions, our hero seems TO have been
somewhat unfaithful to the trusts re-
posed In him, for / find that, after King
Albert on his deathbed had made him
the guardian of his pOsthumOus heir TO
the throne Hunyadi deliberately brought
out another candidate for the purple and
ermine, In the person of the Polish King
Uiesxlo, whom he eventually succeeded
in placing in possession OF the throne
StIll, the chief plotter was not destined
TO have his plans unchallenged; and the
friends OF the young Ladislaus dhe King
by rtght1 said 70 the Polish usurper. If
you don't clear out. you will have TO
fight" Hunyadi replied on Uiaszlo's be-
half "Ccme on, then" and there was a
flying of feathers and things. but John
came out at the top. He was lucky
man, and rarely had 10 knuckle under to
any one; but he had at least one severe
rebuff from his old enemies, the Turks.
II came about this way: In lii2 the Turks
