BY the bye, while talking, l
recall another incident in con-
nection with this division.
When they came down here after
the war the old cavalrymen with
their horses were sent down near
Braachville. One night the Yam
KEGS came up on them and after
skirmlshlng around awhile climbed
trees and began firing down on
Our men withdrew across the
river and the next morning when
the Yankees came up on the other
side, one of them called out:
"Say, Reb, what troops are
those I"
"MiIitla.
"You are a damn liar"
Now my comrsdes-I will not
say "friends" II never call any
one friend that knew IN the old
campaign days in Virginia; men
were bound together by the fire
of battle. You are my friends,
though, and l am appointed by

my name to welcome you tor them,

GoRDoN's TRIBUTE TO HAMPTON.
After the demon stratien follow
ing Miss Lumpkin's speech there
were calls from all over the house
for ''Gordon.' Though Gen.
| Walker told the veterans that
Gen. Gordon did not feel able to
speak on this occasion and tried to
restore order the cries became so
general that the commander of the
Confederate organization rose and
stepped forward. He made his
speech an eloquent tribute to Gen

Picked Railroad ries-

Picked railroad ties are now being
used to a great extent all over the
country. A number of railroads, in
Guiding the Burlington. the Santa Fe
and the Southern Pacific, have plants
of their own in which the ties are
picked. How to preserve the ties and
add to their life and durability has
been serious problem for railroad
operatives ever. since the early days of
transportation by rail. The constant
Wear and tear of ties has necessitated
their replacement as soon as they were
perceptibly worn. A solution of chic
ride of zinc is applied by a specially
arranged process. The ties are put in
large alright cylinders, the air is
pumped out and the ties are heated by
steam. The chemicals are then pump
cd in and the ties kept in the solution

tho Question Of Title and Proprie'
tary Right for Subsequent Examine.
London, March % In the house ct
lords the foreign secretary. Lord Lans-
downe, announced that Russia and
Great Britain had agreed to withdraw
their troops from the disputed terri
tory at TTien TsiR and reserve the
question Of title and proprietary
rights for subsequent examination.
Lord LaRdsdowne supplemented the
announcement by explaining that the,
Fdispute. concerned an extensive area
on the left bank OF the Pei-Ho river
which the Russians occupied in the
autumn and claimed by right OF con
quest. Subsequently the government
was informed that China and Russia
had reached an agreement placing
the area under Russian occupation.
The area, however. comprised plots
belonging to the Northern Chinese
railroad and was therefore part of the
security of the British bondholders.
The line was part of the railroad re-
Gently transferred by the Russians to
Field Marshal Won Waldersee, who re-
transferred it to the British. The
necessities of the allies required the
construction of a siding on one of the /
plots referred to and the presence Of
British workers on the plot was treat
ed as tresspass on Russian terri
tory. 1t was subsequently alleged |
that the Russian boundary marks have |
been removed by the British. In those |
circumstances the government, March |
16, telegraphed to it's representative |
in China that it thought the rights of
the British or Russian troops to &C.
cupy the disputed points could be
best settled by Field Marshal Won
as the chief,
and General Gaselee, the British com
mander, was instructed to request the
field marshal to settle the immediate
differences, reserving for future exam
[nation the question of the validity Off
the alleged present rights. General
Ease1ee was also instructed to refrain
from using force except to repel ag-
erosion.
His lcrdship expressed the hope
that the result of the negotiations
over what was really a very small
natter, of strictly local Importance,
would not be allowed to disturb the
relations between the two countries.
The statement was received with
cheers. }

At either end the land is fully 100 feet
abeve thu highest recorded surface OF
the, lake, which possesses no known
outlet, although st Ii fed by numerous
: mountain creeks.
81 The lake was discovered by a bush
man in 1920 and was known to the
blacks as the 'sbig water" 1t was then
supposed to form the source Of q river
having it's mouth on the south coast,
but subsequent visitors were much
perplexed at the manner In which the
blacks avoided the lake, of which they
appeared to entertain a superstitious
dread, one aged aboriginal stating she
had seen it all covered with trees, an
other explaining that the whole Of the
water sunk through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remembered
the lake only as series of small
ponds.
During the following 20 years con
siderable variations We're noted in the
depth and extent of the lake. In 1871
the lake became partially dried up, the
moist portions being simply grassy
swamps. A few months later large
numbers of sheep were pastured in the
bed OF the lake, but fresh water had to
be carted for the use of the shepherds,
that of the lake being too salt for hu-
man consumption. The place remained
more or less dry until 1852, the year Of
the great foods in that part Of the col,
ony, when it again Became filed, with
an average depth Of nine feet! Since
then the surface level of the lake has
varied considerably, but the bed has
never been so dry as in former years.
There are indications that many hun.
dreds of yeers ago the lake covered
far larger area than any yet recorded. !
remains OF trees over 100 years old be !
ing found in spots formerly under wa

the more remarkable by reason ef ftsi
being fed by pure and sparkling fresh

First Japanese Lawsuit in America.

(NeW York Mail and EXpreSs.)
Supreme Court Justice Scott today
heard arguments upon the return of
writ of habeas corpus obtained by Ina
Inagak for the production of his two
sons, Frederick and Harold. This is
the first proceeding of the kind ever
brought by a japanese in this country.
The petitioner for a number of years
has been employed as butler to wealthy
families. Ten years ago he married a.
Swedish woman. The wife died, leaving
two children After her death the
boys were placed in the custody and
care of their aunt, Mrs. Anetta Ner-
berg of 452 West Twenty street
The father agreed to pay for their
board and maintenance, but has failed
TO do so, according to Mrs. Nerberg- r.
Inagaki now seeks to get the children
back by asserting that they are not
properly cared for, and their surround
ings are not of the best. Mrs. Nerberg
had the children in court today. They
are and s years old, respectively, and
are bright appearing Both were well
dressed Mrs. Nerberg denies that the
children are neglected. She produced
the affidavit of Eliza Hoffman, princi-
pal of the public school, stating that
the boys were regular attendants and
were excellent in department. and the
affidavit of NJ. j. Bolton, d Sunday
school teacher. which says that the
boys attend the Church of the Holy
Apostles
Justice Scott adjourned the proceed
ings until Saturday to give the father
a chance to prove his statements.

now Just l month more than years of

terday all eagerneSS to repeat the latest
bright thing my baby said. 1T seems
that the one fault thus far acquired by
the diminutive Sherlock is a propensity
tor running from the house into the
street.
Having warned the little fellow on sew
eral occasions, in choice baby talk, of the
danger of wandering from his own fire
side, the dOting mamma was not only
frightened, but incenSed. to learn that he
had again gone out, and by the merest
chance had escaped being run over by a
rapidly moving automobile. she consid-
cred that the situation merited the adj
ministration of corporal punishment, and
acted accordingly
Baby was yet sObbing in a corner of the
room and mamma haG resumed her sew
ing, when the cat, the second ranking pet
of the household, put in an appearance
Young Sherlock turned this incident to
more or less good. and at the same time,
surprising account.
