MAJ. GORDON TALKS
RELATES AN INCIDENT OF THE
CIVIL WAR TIME.
ROOSEVELT APPOINTEE STORY
Butte Man Says Former Governor
Jones Of Alabama Was Taken Pris-
ri oner But Brought His Captors
TO Into Camp.

% Major Franklin Gordon, formerly of
Georgia, Dut now of Butte, recently told
an interesting story relative to Presi-
dent eRoOsevelt's recent appointment of
ex- Governor Jones to the federal bench.
q, After speaking briefly of the wisdom
of the appointment, in his opinion, and
dwelling as we'll upon the high character
and attachments of the new Judge, the
major was reminded of the following
story, that touches upon a civil war
time experience Of the appointee, and
"relates," the major says, Ito what
was probably the most extraordinary
incident that occurred to any young
officer during the entire term Of HOSTILE
ties-no matter in what branch of the
service he might have belonged, or on
what side fighting.
Just before the surrender at Apo
mattox," said Major Gordon. Judge
Jones, who was then a young msn, was
serving on General Gordon's stiff. In
an engagement, which took place in
Northern Virginia, he was directed by
| my father (then in command of the
southern troops), to perform a certain
| important military service involving
| great personal danger.
Great Personal Courage.
| tAuu WOIIHlIy uIu uc IcSpOIAu. ANU
| man in America has ever illustrated
to command a critical situation than did
this man at that time.
| I'm accordance with his instruction
! he rode as fast as his horse could. carry
him in order to deliver the message en-
trusted to him.
Following the accidents of war, he
rushed into a detachment OF union
troops 10 strong, besides the sergeant
and was at once captured and taken in
| charge as a prisoner of war;
1.-THE weather was a trife severe
and it became necessary to build fire
Jones told his captors that as 1t was
cold it would be good idea for all to
set to work to build a fire, suggesting
that as he was prisoner of war, the
whole outfit should turn in, gather COM
bustibles and with them insure them
selves some degree of protection from
the chill. To which all agreed.
Stack Their Arms.
''The federal boys stacked their arms
near by, and as they spread out and be.
| gan to look for firewOod, Jones jumped
to the stack of arms, and grasped {
rifle.
'"Then turning upon the astonishet
detachment, his voice firm, and ever!
word falling sharp as pistol report o,
the winter air, said I will ki'' s~at a''t,'
the fret MAN who makes hostile move
Line up!'
1T is an historical fact that h
marched the members of his squad int
General Gordon's headquarters.
'Someway I have always had grea
respect for those men, thus made to sur
render as prisoners of war to one man
The first who had refused would hav'
sacrificed his life instanter.
Judge Jones' performance. in m!
judgment, was the most magnificent dis
play of nerve that was brought out il
the conflict. At least 1 have never heart
of its euual.'

ICE CREAM FADES AWAY.
Delicacy Was Placed on Rear Porch
to Be Kept Cool.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Naughton gave a
party at their residence in West Mercury
street Friday evening and served their
guests with refreshments.
There was one refreshment, however
they intended to serve, but did not. II
was ice cream-six quarts of it in q
freezer
In order to prevent it from melting be-
fore time for use they placed it in a COO
spot on the back porch, but when they
went after it some one else had it.
Where it went no one knows, but the
superstition is that back yard wan.
derer touched the freezer and it stuck
to him.

assimilation by the Chinese of those
characteristics of European and Ameri-
can life which will be of advantag e
through the entire civilized world, East
as well as West The situation has now
resolved itself
The first requirement on the part OF

is the one of adapting herself and them
selves TO the main requirement of
modern commercialism They cannot
continue to exclude themselves from the
rest of the world They cannot continue.
great natural wealth which their country
embraces, They are too far away from
the currents of European civilization to
make the danger of their absorption by
the younger civilizations a menacing one
at least for many generations to
come. They have but now to follow the.
example set them by their kindred, the
Japanese, in availing themselves of the
opportunities offered TO engraft upon
their system those requirements which
will place them in complete touch with
modern progress.

such should be the case. It is the fault
of those who have ruled them, and to
some extent of the civilization which
was the subject of Minister Wus adj
dress in Chicago. The uplifting of the
Chinese masses viii be one of the results
of a more complete adoption by the Chi
nese of Western habits of life.
1t is easy to define the duties of West
ern civilization toward the people of the
East, and it is well that those duties
should be borne in mind; but it is not to
be forgotten that there are the duties
which Chinese civilization owes to itself,
the disregard Of which has been the most
potent factor in producing the existing
state of things. If Minister Wu's opin-
ions could be fully exerted in making
those duties known and understood by
his countrymen and their rulers he would
be doing a work which in Importance
would far transcend the splendid work
which he has done during the past year
and over to set his people right before
the people Of this republic.
