SOLDIER PRESIDENTS.
Ten Gallant Leaders Who Went to
 the White House.

The highest number of men enrolled in our army during the Revolutionary war was Ss17G1. In the war of 1872 we raised regular force of 3o,fS and militia force of All ,622. In the Mexican war the total force raised, regulars and volunteers, amounted to 1O1 ,2S2, and during the war of 1S61-5 the volunteers furnished were 2.S59. 132, coiored troops 1S6,017 and the regulars 39,273, making the entire number of men enrolled in the military service of the United States during periods of war about 100000. Of these ten afterward became presi- dents of the United States-namely, Washington, Jackson, William Henry. Harrison, Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harrison and McKin- ley. Other distinguished military men were nominated by one or another of the great parties, but were not successful in the election. Among these were Jack son, who was defeated in 1924, but was elected in 1928 and 1882; Harrison, who ] was defeated in 1886, but was elected in 1S4O; Cass, who was defeated by Taylor in 1S4S; Scott, who was defeated by Pierce in 1852; Fremont, who had been lieutenant colonel, defeated by Buchanan in 1856; J. c. Breckinridge, defeated by Lincoln in 1860; Mcclellan, defeated by Lincoln in 1864; Hancock, defeated by Garfield in 1880, and Harrison, defeated by Cleveland in 1892.
 Other officers who had served in the army were candidates-namely, Arm strong, Lincoln, Burr, John Floyd, B. Gratz Brown, Green Clay Smith, James B. Weaver and Benjamin Butler. Most of the successful candidates owed their elevation to their military record, and the same may be said to a great extent with regard to the prominence attained by others. Probably 20 of the generals of our army earned what might be called worldwide distinction and some POO en- viables national distinction.

SHERlDAN'S SHOES.
He Didn't Want Them Removed
 From His Desk.

He Didn't Want Them Removed From His Desk.
 A good story of General Sheridan was told by a Mexican, an intimate friend of the great northern soldier in his lifetime, says the Boston Herald. One day, calling on the commander of the army at his office in Washington, he found him at his desk, his feet incased in slippers and his shoes democratically placed on the top of the desk. While the general was appar- ently absorbed in some writing, the Mexi- can gentleman, who thought some serv- ant had left the warriors shoes in the wrong place, took his cane and gently de posted the shoes on the floor. The next day the Mexican called on Sheridan and found him at his desk, shoes on top, as before. The polite resident of the tropics began once more removing his shoes to the f1oor when all at once Sheridan roar ed out: ...
 Don't do that again, sir! You make me ridiculous, sir!'
 q beg your pardon, general, but how have made you ridiculousY
 ''Why, sir," said Sheridan, still an noyed, yesterday, sir, I went out to walk after you had called on me. I was near ing the White House, when noticed a gentleman looking at me intently. Soon he asssaressed zAe, saying, Excuse me, general, but aren't you afraid of catching cold ? Why, sir, no; not that am aware of What is the matter, sirY We'll said the gentleman, it is damp, and you are going about in your slippers I tell you, sir," said Sheridan, addressing his Mexi- can friend, tyou made me ridiculous. It is my habit, sir, to put my shoes on my desk where cannot fail to see them, so l may not forget to put them on, and, confound it, sir, you come around here with your notions of propriety and send me around town in my slippers, sir"

No Municipal Ownership for Kelly's Rooster. i.

A city that gives its people good streets and keeps them clean, first class sewerage system, a police de- partment that we fear and respect, school system we'll looked after, fire department that sleeps with one eye open, and water plant shat will furnish us with pure water is doing all the work that city was ever in tended to do.

Day of Rememb brance.

The Both of May is day not of na-
 tional mourning, but of national remem- bering. The men who died in doing bat
 tie for their country's cause are not to be
 pitied. They are to be honored.-New York Press
The weekly examiner., 1901-05-25

The moon seems to shine just as brightly then, That night when the love yet unspoken Leaped up to his lips, when low, murmured VOWS Were pledged to be ever unbroken Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes He dashes of tears that yelling And gathers his gun closer up to its place As if to keep down the heart swelling. He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree; The footstep is tagging and weary; Yet onward he goes through the broad belt of
 light
 Toward the shades of the forest so dreary. Hark! Was it the night wind that rustled the
 leaves?
 Was it mooE!:e.& so wondrously flashing? It looked like fife ''Hal Mary, goodby!" And the life blood is ebbing and plashing. All quiet along the Potomac tonight, No sound save the rush of the river, While soft falls the dew the face of the dead; The picket's of duty forever.

War Upon the Trusts.

Columbia, November 3O.-At last the
Attorney General is ready to start the
fight against tho trusts in the Courts.
The first move has been made in the
State Court for Aiken county. The pro-
ceeding is directed against the Aiken
Industrial Company, an oil mill enter
nation. Tho affidavit is made by d. r.
Holley, one Of the stockholders. 1t: is
alleged that tho company is in the South
ern Cotton Oil Combination. The State
enters suit regularly to annual the
charter or the company and smash the
combination. The papers in tho case
were served on Wednesday last, the
Attorney General going to Aiken in per-
son to look after tho matter. In this
case ho Is to be assisted by Mr.. George
w. Croft, of the Aiken Bar, and 1t ia
understood that Senator Henderson is
tho legal representative of the company.
Attorney Ge"eral Bollinger has just re-
turned to tho ity. He has been hard at
work all summer getting up facts and
figures on the fertilizer and oil mill COM
Dimes i'll the State, ana said to-day that
this suit was merely tho first of number
of tho samo kind that he proposed to
enter In q very short time. Unfortu-
natoly all the papers in the case are on
file in Aiken, and 1t Is impossible to give
any moro detailed information as to this
most important move, in which the
Legislature ut it's recent session took the
Initiative. 1t is a matter that Is destined
to command the attention of tho entire
country, for tho agitation against trusts
and combines is now In full force.
