other pile oy the SIDE OF each Judge. or

Every Letter Read.
This policy was followed until every

once. II took hours. but every one o.
those letters submitted wa. gone over

borne In mind that the letters ali repre-
sented thought and time and some labor. |

cord!ngly each letter received Its full |
measure Of attention.
The result OF the mrs, reading was
that some forty letters had been laid |
aside BY each judge as possible prize
winners. Then began the second read
Ing. The letters. reduced to about go
By that first reading, were then rc.read
by each judge. This second reading
was most careful. and when in doubt

The Irish and Scotch Census.

The decennial census in the United
States is taken in the years ending with
D; the decennial census in Great Britain is
taken in years ending with 1, and the
enumeration of the inhabitants of Great
Britain. for the census" in that country
amounts to little more than this, has only
recently been completed for 1901, and the
results of it announced officially Apart
of course, from the remarkable growth OF
England and Wales in population. the
most remarkable feature of the census is
the fact that for the first time the popufa-
tion of Scotland now exceeds that of Ire.
land.
Prior to the Irish famine between 1S4C
and 1913 and the revolutionary uprising
which was its sequel. the population of
Ireland was approximately S,20O,O0O and
of Scotland 100000, a disparity so great
that the Importance of Irish questions,
pressing for settlement at that time. could
very clearly have been understood. and
the apparent neglect of the Scottish inter
ests accounted for, if not justified These
are the census figures of the two countries
in the years since 1871. They show a
steady diminution of the population of Ire
land, and an equally constant increase in
the population of Scotland:

A Fulfilled Prophecy About lincoln.
Ne,0 Lippincott.

In the Presidential campaign of 1896
the Democrats in the West made an ef-
fectiye point by contrasting MIR. Buchan'
ans long public career as u Senator, Sec
retary of State and Minister to England
with Gen. FremOnts limited experience,
consisting of a service Of 21 days III the
United States Senate.
In the great campaign of 1860 they
tried the same tactics, which had proved
SO successful, to disparage Mr.. Lincoln
He had served but a single term in Con
grcsS, while Senator Douglas had for
many years enjoyed a National reputa-
tiOn.
This point was urged in a heated dis
cussion, overheard, between an ardent
supporter of Senator Douglas and a Ger
man voter who favored Mr.. Lincoln. The
former finally thought to oyerwhelm his
opponent by saying:
who is this Lincoln, anyhow? No
body ever heard of him until Senator
Douglas brought him into notice by hold
ing joint debates with him. Senator
Douglas, on the other hand, is a great
statesman. Why, he has had his eye on
the Presidential chair for the last 10
years"
.'Yot is dot you say?" was the reply.
"You say Meester Dooglas have had his
eye on the President chair for the last
''Yes, that is just what I said"
"Yell, you shOost tell Meester DOog-
las eef he keep his eye on dot chair shoOst
ledle vile longer, he vii see Old Abe
Lincoln sitting down in it,

laughter from the bystanders.

ROUGH RIDING.
Continued from arss page,

"Now, the experienced frontiersman, In
such a case" continued the old man,
would be suspicious. He might allow
one or two Indians to came into his camp,
but he would keep his eyes on them all
the time and his rife and revolver ready
for instant use. II more Indians ap-
preached his camp than he thought he
could handle. he wouldn't hesitate to halt
them and order them to keep away. He
knows their tricks, and they aint a-goin'
to get the drop on him, and he knows that
an Indian won't make an attack without
he can get big advantage.
He never will fight white man on
anything like an equal footing. A few
determined men, well armed, can travel
II they understand Indian tactics; bur
they must keep their eyes all around 'em,
and keen cOOl-never get ratified
y 1ou'd better make up your minds,
boys, said the old veteran, looking around
at us youngsters, ''in case you are ever
corraled by Indians and fnd escape i'm
possible, to kill as many Of 'em as you
can, and die game-always sayin' one bull
let for yourself.
Don't delude yourselves with the idea
that they ever spare the life of white
man who Surrenders to them or falls into
their hands alive
IF they spare him at the time he is
TAKEN, III Is only IN order to have a war
dance while putting him to a death of
torture and gloat over his dying agonies.
And as to prisoner escaping from them,
1t Is very rare occurrence.
Il know your novels tell, you of pris-
oners escaping from hostile Indians, as
though it were an everyday occurrence,
but don't YOU believe it,
so, with dead certainty of a horrible
death, If you are taken alive, amt it bet
ter to fight till the last. try to see how
many Indians you can kill, and have the
satisfaction of KNOWN that you have sent
few of the red devils to - before you
passed in your checks: And, then. savin'
your last bullet for yourself. how easy il
5 to fool 'em trip by just stickiu' the
niuzZle of your pistol into your ear and
iGrn her loose. BY that means you will
at least save yourself from bein' scaped.
for the Indians will never scalp or mu-
tilate the body of man who has killed
himself"
| find that the ideas expressed by this
old soldier are cOncurred in by most all
officers and soldiers who have had ex-
perience in Indian warfare.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade

ments were for time brigaded with us
and in quick succession, each pitching its
tents on the same ground, just outside
the fort (Fort MarshalD, while we held
the fort. 1.-The writer" stated that his
impression was that the 17th Conn was
the one Of which Howe was member,
and he now states positively that the 18th
Conn. is entitled to all the honors of
Elias Howe's membership. III this state.

eral comrades, members of the 18th Conn,

The writer never saw the 33d Conn, nor
was it his good fortune to meet the 18th
Ohio. So you will perceive, COmrade
Hull, that you are mistaken. But mis-
takes are not uncommon, and we are all
liable to make them, especially after u
lapse of over 3S years. SO, CORPORAL,

The canturs Of Browns Ferry.

Comrade L. G. Miller, Co. /, 31st ONO
Fair Play. Mo-, has been reading with
deep interest accounts of the capture OF
Browns Ferry. He says. My regiment
was ordered to fall in about O'Clock IN
the afternoon. We marched through
Chattanooga, crossed the river on pom
toon bridges. marched across the river
bottom on a high ridge, then quite dis
tance along the ridge townrd Brown
Ferry. When near the ferry we were
halted and ordered to stack arms. we
were cautioned to make no noise, as the
rebels were just across the river. 1t was
now getting dark, and we tried to get a
few hours sleep. We were aroused long
before daylight and at early dawn we
reached the ferry, where we found the
boats that had just come down the river.
The boats were soon filled with 3lSt ONO
boys | suppose we made considerable
noise, as the rebels began firing on us, ana
by the time we reached the middle OF the
stream il was daylight and the rebel bull
lets were striking all around US. None
in our boat was hurt The rebels fell
back on the ridge on the left and also on
the right of the road. Our regiment
climbed TO the top Of the ridge on the
right, threw some rocks III place Tor
breastwOrks, and lay down in line of bat
tie.
IAN day long ambulances filed with
Gen. Hooker's wounded were passing on
their way to Chattanooga. This was the
first time we had seen any of the Army
of the Potomac. Some of the New Jer-
sey boys were dressed in zouave uniforms,
with dainty red caps and fancy taSscls.
When the rebels fell back to Lookout
Mountain some of our boys went down
into the valley and secured corn, which
we boiled and grated 70 make mush. We
had been on short rations for long time,
but now our cracker line had been
opened by Gen. Hooker coming up the
valley from Bridgeport and the capture of
Browns Ferry"
