also proves that well-trained Ameri.
can youth, who has health, can stand
more hard knocks than any other being
on earth. In 1896 Mr.. Whites left leg
was broken above the knee. Later his
left collar bone was broken and his
right ankle sprained. The year '96 was
dull one, and he passed through 1t
with his nose twice broken and back
wrenched. He did better in '97. Three
fingers and an ankle were broken. In
80 his left leg was fractured. In 1900
he reached the climax of glory. The
list reads: Head injured, two ribs
broken, legs temporarily paralyzed
from kick; ribs previously fractured
are rebroken. 1t would be natural to
follow Mr.. Whites hospital record with
few remarks on the brutality Of foot
ball. But the season Is over. There Is
no football, so let us not moralize, but
glory in the physical proves Of our
own men and hope that after they pass
the football age the Vernon Whites Of
this country will put as much energy
into work for themselves and humanity
as they now do in sport that looks bru-
tai but seems to be enjoyable.

In Memorial Hall.

In Memorial Hall.
I stood alone in the quiet dusk,
Beneath an arch of the vaulted room,
And watched the brilliant colors fade
At the stealthy touch of the creeping
gloom.
saw the deep'ning shadows rest
On stately busts of honored dead,
And where the lofty columns stood
Tall phantom pillars rose instead
And soon / heard soft whispered tones,
Then ghostly cheering, murm' ring
signs;
And sometimes laughter now low means,
Then earnest questions, stern replies.
I heard the sound of the lannon's roar
Come waited faint from 1 knew not
where,
Then beat Of hoofs, the swish of flags,
Then martial notes | knew SO well.
When 10! the place was filed with light;
| stood alone in the vaulted room;
But ne'er whisper, ne'er moan
From those SO near in the creeping
gloom.
No sign whate'er to make me think
/ had aught but dreamed of that battle
scene.
Except some silken tattered flags
From inches gazing down serene.

Premier Salisbury is destined to go
into history as the great nepotist Of
English politics. 1t turns out that in
the reorganization Of his cabinet and
in the appointment of other high Of
ficials closely connected with that re-
organization one-fifth of all appointees
are relatives of the Premier. This is
certainly "feathering the family nest"
with lordly contempt for public opin-
ion. The Marquis does not care a
marquee for sentiment-it Is the job
he coyets.

Too Much Court Plaster.

Although court plaster is useful in
protecting small scratches or abrasions
of the skin from harm, it should not be
used over any considerable cut or
wound in process of healing. These
will heal much faster If simply covered
with a bit of soft linen, held in place
at the ends with strips of surgeons

The Cincinnati Enquirer says it would
aot for moment discourage the hold
Ing to strict accountability of all public
men in public office, but there is I'M
qestionably tendency in the United
States, as it seems by Mr.. Chamber
iain's speech there is in Great Britain,
to run vigilance into persecution, to re-
quire public men to surrender property
and business rights and to make what
ought to be a public honor practical
disadvantage. Some of the laws on this
subject are unjust and even absurd,
and the haste to interpret them so as to
disgrace public officials without hear
ng them is pernicious.

was held rigidly accountable. From
rifed musket worth perhaps fifteen
dollars, down to a wrench for taking
1t to pieces in cleaning, worth as many
cents, the man at the head Of the COM
pany was charged with everything, and
soon realized that he must keep sharp
lookout If he would balance accounts
with the government at the end OF his
service. He could account for ordnance
"lost,' only in battle, or captured by
the enemy; If anything was damaged
and unfit for use, he could be relieved
of it only by asking for 'board OF
survey" and having the article con-
demned.
Such details as these will seem
strange to readers who were never IN
the military service; they may seem
strange to many of the "musket-bear-
ers," by whom the system was not un-
derstood. They were painful realities
to the captains. They were numbers
of them who served year or two with
a. serene confidence that they had done
fairly well in their respective places,
but were awakened one day by sharp
communication from Washington to the
effect that they were there charged
with some thousands Of dollars for
government property not accounted
for.
But the government was kind In the
end. Thousands of officers, trembling
with the fear that all their arrears OF
pay would be confscated, learned upon
their muster-out that the volunteer Of
ficer was indulgently regarded, after
all, and would not be made the debtor
Of the United States where he had
zealously tried to do his duty.
With all his labors, discouragements,
and annoyances,. the captain who lived
to get through the war can look back
with quiet satisfaction upon his ex-
perience-if he was Of the right kind.
He had the affection and confidence Of
his men; he labored for them, instructed
them, fought and marched with them.
If his example was what it ought to
have been, he not only rendered the
GAUGE good service but he still holds
place in the affectionate remembrance
Of many veterans.-James Franklin

1t is widely supposed that the dis
ease called appendicitis was un-
known to the medical profession until
the last quarter of the present century.
But an old London doctor, who writes
upon the subject in the Lancet, saws
there Is nothing new about it except
''the name and the treatment" The
disease was we'll described in the older
medical books, and was then called
"typhlitis." But its real character was
rarely verified except by post-mortem
examination; whereas modern surgery,
with It's anaesthetic and antiseptic
aids, If summoned in time, is able to
save nearly every patient who is not
exhausted by age or otherwise de-
pleted.

Fort Donelson.

The day before the attack at Forl
Donelson the troops had a march Of
twenty miles, part of it during a bitter
cold night. Gen. Grant called a coun-
Gil of war, to consider whether they
should attack the Confederates or not,
or should give the troops day or two's
rest. Nearly all the officers were in
favor of resting. Grant said nothing
until all had given their opinions; then
no said:
There's deserter came in this
morning; let us hear what he has to
say"
When the man was brought in, Gen.
Grant looked into his knapsack and
asked:
where are you from?''
From Donelson,'' said the man.
"And you have six days rations in
your knapsack?'
Eyes, sir"
when We're you served out?"
yesterday morning."
"Were the rations served to all the
treops?'
''Yes, sif.''
Gentlemen" said the General, turn
ing to the council troops do not have
six days rations served out to them in
fort If they mean to stay there. These
men mean to retreat-not to- fight. We
will attack at once''
And attack they did, covering the
arras Of the Union with their first great
victory.

The following story is told of Cen
eral Sherman, the time being Just after
his failing to break Joe Johnston's front
at KenesaW Mountain: sIt was plain
that more fianking must be done. SO
the Great Flanker' ordered General
Co1's division of the Twenty-third
Corps to make a detour and threaten
the enemy's left. This involved a long
march, and General Sherman made his
way to the top of a high hill, where we
We're lying, to enable him to overlook
the country and see operations better.
He sat on a stump with a map spread
out On his knees, and was giving Gem
eraf Cox directions as to his line of
march. After doing this he mounted
his horse and started away, but. after
having gone little distance, he shouted
back: See here, Cox, burn few barns
occasionally as you go along. / can,t

In recent address Andrew Carnegie
said: 'The rich mans surplus is a So
cial trust to be administered in ones
own lifetime for the good Of Others"
But is that giving? Did you ever feel
thrill of pleasure in donating that for
which you had no use? A surplus is
money which the possessor cannot find
means Of spending to the increase Of
his comfort or pleasure. Why not adj
minister such trust after death,
through the courts, instead Of Gin ones
own lifetime" since mere worldly graf
ification, and not one particle Of self
sacrifice, enters into the gift Of sur
plus? The child saves its pennies, de
MES itself the little things which seem
great to 1t, in order to give, where the
gift means kindness and love. The good
neighbor saves on gas bills and table
luxuries in order to help his unfortun-
ate fellow-man. The mother sits up
late with her needle, forgoes that new
skirt or the longed-for piece of parlor
furniture that she may be able to give
something to son or daughter. The
sacred trust Is that which Is based on
love and self-denial and comes from
the surplus of affection, not from the
surplus Of dollars. To gives without
feeling that one has made some self
sacrifice is not giving at all, in moral
sense; it merely spending.
