He lives in lordly style,
His towers loom tall and vast;
make way for him while
His carriage rumbles past;
His yacht rides on the bay,
His acres stretch away
Through fertile fields and dells-
But held in check by shame,
He does not give his name
To the whisky that he sells.
I claim no broad domains.
No servants hear my call;
I toll for little gains,
MY house is poor and small;

No bottle bears his name

Tho Army Reorganization.

Two plans for army reorganlzations
will be submitted to congress this win
ter. Secretary Root. meeting the views
OF the president. is having prepared
plans which contemplate an army OF
100, 900 men. He will follow the same
general method as that urged upon tho
late congress. Gen. Miles will propose
an army of $4,000. including 36 regi-
ments OF infantry. Is regiments OF
cavalry. 20 batteries of artillery. and
a coast artillery of about Is, 900 men
to properly mar the seacoast defenses.
Gen. Miles believes there should be at
least n soldier to every thousand in
habitants. The administration will
strongly urge that a big standing army
be provided for and will point out that
the large army OF volunteers will cease
to be available after June next. Ac-
companying this appeal for an in
creased army will be the war depart
ment estimates. which will aggregate
from $125, 0o0, 900 to $3.50, 900, 900. as
they will be based on the demands OF
an army OF the maximum size recon-
mended.

In our English service, the system
adopted for replenishing the ammuni-
ton Of the troops engaged has consist
cd In selecting . certain number OF
men to carry cartridges from the rear
ND to the firing line. 1t having been
apparently supposed that 1t would be
possible for these men to move along
the line and to distribute ammunition
to those whose pouches were empty.
We very soon learned that such a sys-
tenn could not be Of any use under
modern condition. The men carrying
I'D the ammunition would inevitably
be shot before reaching the front and
the men In the firing line would be left
with empty pouches. So We must find
some other method Of solving this i'm
portant problem, which has also to be
considered in connection with the ac-
ton OF artillery. We know that at
Colenso it was impossible to keep tho
guns, afterward abandoned, supplied
with ammunition, and with the pros
pect that the rate of fire of u guns
will be considerably increased In the
near future, this problem bids fair to
be more acute than ever. In certain
foreign armies the services OF specially
trained dogs have been rcquisitioned
to get wei the difficulty. These dogs
are fitted with a sort of saddle which
will carry a quantity Of rifle ammuni-
ton, and are trained to race to the
front, and, arrived there, to permit the
soldiers to relieve them Of their bur-
den. l think it quite possible that 1t
may be found possible to keep infan-
try supplied in this manner, but some
other means will have to be found for
replenishing the limbers of Il artil-
lery. 1t is very probable that we shall
see dogs utilized In man. other ways
in the fighting of the future. For In
stance, they would be very useful on
outpost duty to give warning OF an
enemy's approach, and II dogs were at
tached to our field hospitals they
would be of the greatest assistance in
searching for the wounded after an
action.-Natlonal Review.

Sketch of Gen. Gordon.

General John b. Gordon Is a OF
Georgia, which state he has served
since the war as governor and United
States senator. As a soldier he ranked
in the popular estimation At least ~
only second to Robert e. Lee. He
graduated from the University Of
Georgia In 1852 at the head OF his
class, and afterwards engaged In the
mining of coal. When the war broke
out he at once volunteered. and be-
came in rapid succession captain. ma
jor, colonel. brigadier general, major
general and lieutenant general In CON-
mand OF one wing Of the army OF Vir-
ginia. He led the last charge on the
battlefield OF Appomattox. and after
the close OF the wal gathered his wing
OF the army and made a most eloquent
speech, bidding his soldiers obey the
laws, go home In peace, and do their
best to rebuild the country. He served
four years as governor OF his native
state, and seven years In the Unitee
States senate. He is now IS years old

Fighting Joe" Whesisr

General Joseph Wheeler graduated
from West Point In 1859. When the
war broke out he went into the con-
federate service. and at the battle OF
Shiloh, where he commanded a bril-
gade at the age Of twenty-six, he led
the charge which resulted In the cap
ture of General Prentiss' division of
the federal army. During that battle
he had three horses shot under him
and won his nickname OF Fighting
Joe" In July OF the same year he
was given command of the cavalry
division Of the army Of the Mississippi
and in that capacity he took part In
some OF the most desperate battles o
the a During the war General
Wheeler wal under fire in 800 skir-
mishes and no less than 200 battles.
After the surrender of Lee General
Wheeler opened a law Office at Wheel
ing. Ala. He served in congress con-
t~inuously from 1882 until the breaking
out of the war with Spain. His career
since that time Is familiar.-Chicago

Tho Grape Crop of France.

A newspaper correspondent writing
from Mines, France, under date of
Aug. 22d. said:
The annual wine sale which took
place in this city yesterday brought
together a large number of w%ine-grow-
ers and dealers. The prices were lower
than at any time during the last thir-
ty years. 1t is reported that wine has
been offered during the last three
weeks at as low as 81 per barrel. L~rge
sales were made yesterday at $1.50,
81 and SO per barrel of ITO quarts. The
vines are weighed down with luscious
fruit that is fast taking the last pur-
pie tinge and swelling to bursting I'M
der the sun. One grape-grower brought
In a small vine yesterday to which
hung ninety-five punches OF grapes,
and this little overloaded branch of
green and purple was a fair specimen
of the average vineyard of today. The
wine men In this section Of France
have but one cause for anxiety. and
that is to find barrels in which to
house the purple flood.

Crimson CT yer In the North.
A few years ago 1t was believed that
crimson clover was q plant valuable
for the North and for the South. After
several years OF rather extended ex-
perienes the growers at the North.
both on eur farms and at u expert
ment stations have passed upon 1t ad-
versely. 1t il q plant requiring q ell
mate warmer than we can give 1t. and
it also requires conditions for its
growth such as seldom exist here.
Where red clover can be grown to
perfection 1t IL impossible to put in
any kind Of = clover that will be nor
profitable. We would. however, en-
courage experimentation with it even
in the North. 1t may be found of
value In some localities far out Of its
natural latitude. In the South 1t has
been little understood. and has quite
often failed because the soil did not
contain the germs necessary to its
health. Where it has been sown on
fields and has repeatedly failed we
would suggest trying to inoculate the
soil with water that has been drawn
through soil taken from thrifty fields
OF red clover.

Miss Emile Wakeman, who has
made such q distinct success Of her
impersonation Of Miss Taft in the play
Caleb West" as dramatized by Mich
ael Morton from the novel by F. Hop
kinson Smith, has taken rank among
the first Of our character actresses.
Her inspiration for acting was &C
CURED at the American Academy Of
the Dramatic Arts In New York city,
and her professional debut was made
with Miss Fanny Rice at the Bijou
theater in 1895. Her success was i'm
mediate and since then she has played
many varied character roles in stock
companies and with touring attrac-
lions. One OF her most notable per-
formances was as Mrs. Beckman-
Streete in MY Friend from India"
but her present work in Caleb West"
is perhaps her happiest hit. Her
sketch OF Miss Taft, a prudish, irasci-
BILE spinster, is a remarkable portrayal
of a real type, and has won unstinted
praise.
