about the drought being a dispensa-
tion of providence for our cruelties
and barbaritles in the Philippines,
account for the very severe drought
in Germany and also in peace-lov-
ing Switzerland? Germany has not
been numbering any islanders, nor
sympathizing very much with Eng
land in her Boer war, yet she is
burned up with heat and drought.
The land of Wilhelm II is reported
to be in worse condition even than
this country. The Swiss, who
never had war except their strug,
gle for independence, are in almost
as bad a condition. The theory
won't work, gentlemen. If we must
say that this affliction is sent upon
us as a punishment for our sins,
let's say it is for our arrogance and
want of appreciation of the glorious
good things we have enjoyed the
last four years and failed to appre-
cIate,

world, and 1 reverently maintain
that God had raised him up for this
especial purpose, and when his task
was accomplished He took him to
Himself again.
The first great difficulty that pre-
sented itself to the President was
the problem of arming the assembl-
ing troops. Men were put to work
night and day in the arsenals, pow
der mills and clothing factories.
The old obsolete and condemned
guns and muskets were gathered up,
worked over and then given out to
the waiting troops. The old arms
were of all patterns and styles, and
most of the muskets were changed
from flint locks to the percussion.
The best weapon the government
had was the Springfield musket
changed to a percussion rifle. The
guns with which we were armed
when ordered to Washington and
afterward into Virginia, were old
obsolete Belgian muskets changed
from flint locks to percussion. The
only value about these guns was
that they looked savage, and there
is no doubt that this quality saved
our regiment from an attack by the
citizens of Baltimore as it marched
through the city on its way 20
Washington, the next day after the
trouble over the unarmed Massa-
chusetts 9th when they attempted
to pass through. These Belgian
guns would shoot much better 10
the rear than to the front, but they
looked very dangerous to the enemy
and they really were dangerous-to
those trying to shoot them.
Is it any wonder, considering the
mighty task and cares that rested
upon the President, that he wore
the impression of being weighed
down with burden greater than
mortal man could bear? And yet
under all these responsibilities he
was always trustful, hopeful and
cheerful, and no one could be in
his presence for even short time
without partaking in some measure
of Lincoln's truly wonderful spirit.
To US there were few traits about
Mr.. Lincoln that seemed to have
been placed there by the Masters
hand to link him with mortals and
to remove him from the idea that
was formed of him by many who
were in his presence day by day.
One of these traits was his habit of
impressing upon his hearers the
truth as he saw it and the conse
quences of pursuing an opposite
course, by rounding off and com
pleting his lesson with some simple,
homely story. This was the most
distinguishing feature that seemed
to claim Lincoln in the rank of
mortals, and yet even the Master
taught the multitudes the great les
sons of life by parallels. There is
no question but that Lincoln's
"boys," the soldiers, who saw his
face, looked into those sad eyes,
and listened with reverence to his
Kind admonitiOn to UBe true men.
true to God, to the cause of the
Union, and in every relation of life
true men," left his presence feeling
that they had been standing on holy
ground and in the presence of one
anointcd by the Master to fit and
prepare him to save the Union.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-07-19

THE spring OF 'oI was the most
momentous epoch in the his
L tory of this country. Rebel
guns had surrounded Ft. Sump-
ter with flaming shot and she'll un-
til the little garrison had been com
PEELED to surrender. One State was
following another out of the Union
in quick succession; mints, ship
yards, forts, arsenals and govern
ment property of all description
were being seized by the seceeding
States. Army equipments, guns and
ammunition were coolly appropriat-
ed and turned against the govern
ment, and the people of the South
acted as though they had become
crazed by what they termed their
"easy victories" In the meantime
both North and South were sending
every man they could aim to the
front. The ''front" for the North
was then Washington and for the
South Alexandria, Va, and vicinity,
and the forces at the end of the
Long Bridge were greatly increased.
With the permission of the Presl-
dent and Secretary of War, the
writer one dark night crossed over
the river and went into the rebel
camp, and in few hours was back
again safe with much information
of more or less value to the Union
cause.
The South had a great advantage
over the North at this time from
the fact that the former had plenty
of up date arms and ammunition,
and IN the fact that their first levies
of troops were not only well armed
and equipped but they were well
drilled. For twenty years or more
the munitions of war had all, or
nearly all, been concentrated in the
South, and at the outbreak of the
rebellion the arsenals in the South
ern States were fully stocked with
munitions of war, and for the same
length of time the young men in
every town and village had been
drilling and forming companies and
regiments to be ready for the great
day when should come the tug of
war, as all knew that war must come
if the North would fight them, which
the great mass of the people doubt
ed.
That day had now come. The
South had SHE'D her castor into the
ring, and Lincoln, in behalf of the
Union, had accepted the gauge of
battle. There was no difficulty in
the President securing all the men
he would ever need. This he knew:
men would spring up everywhere at
his call for assistance, and they
came pouring into Washington in
continual stream, but there were
many of them without arms of any
kind and mostly without drill. The
great duty that devolved upon the
President and his secretaries was to
feed, arm and clothe these assembl-
ing troops. At that time there were
only one or two railroads running
into Washington from the north,
and these roads passed through reb-
el territory and were dominated by
rebel troops, while rebel patrols
held all the wagon roads leading to
the city. When our regiment left
New York the rebels held the rail-
roads and all approaches to the

FARMERS, INSTITUTES.

The Kansas State Agricultural Col =

to that part of tse Strand south Of the
south line of the old Pioneer Mills
property. The decree is final and both
parties to the suit are TO pay their part OF
the cost. The decree holds that the
Strand at the point Of contention is but
20 feet wide, which 10 the main was
what Captain Bryant contended. Since
the legal proceedings commenced, the
idea Of laying a side track and switch
on the property has been abandoned,
