cident of a Fourth of July celebration
in my younger days
The crowd gathered around, for Mr..
Kluttz Is prince of story-tellers.
You know, many Hessians settled in
North Carolina after the revolutionary
war;" continued the warm-hearted Tar
Heel. Their descendants are among
our very best citizens to-day. Those
soldiers marched down through that
country with Corvallis; many OF
them fell out of the ranks. took up
farms, married our girls. and, In fact.
were very glad to become American
citizens.
well. in my boyhood days, no
Fourth of July celebration was COM
plete without a soldier of the revolu-
tion. By the year have in mind these
patriots had become very scattering.
and the country was secured to secure
such soldier. The jubilant citizens
placed the hoary veteran in the same
carriage with the orator of the day.
He rode through the streets of the
town in triumph, and occupied seat
on the platform. The enthusiasm over
the recital of revolutionary achieve
ments waxed great, and the celebration
was nearly over when some inQuisitive
person asked the veteran what battles
he had been in.
"1 was at Trenton, sir, came the
reply in the deep-throated voice of the
German, for such he was.
"'Ah, then, you must have crossed
the Delaware with Washington
No-oh. no. answered the subject
of so much popular alteration, in a
feebler voice. I was on the other
side'"

May Reorganize Militia.

bill for the reorganization of state
militia prepared by the war depart
ment has been introduced into both
houses of congress. Strange to say, no
change has been made in the Federal
militia laws for ITO years. Under the
law of 1892 congress may organize, arm
and discipline the militia, and exercise
control over troops employed in Fed
eral service, but training and differing
are reserved to the state. The object
of the new bill is to introduce a larger
element of Federal influence and con-
troll into the organization.

As to Church Choirs.

H. H. Oberley of Elizabeth N. j..
writing in this weeks Churchman on
Vested women choirs," does not object
to female singers, but insists that they
should not wear mems Dress" neither
should they march in procession with
the clergy, or sit in the choir stalls
He says choirs are not necessary in a
church anyway. In the ordinary Greek
and Russian churches there are no
choirs. and this was common condi-
tion in England before the reformation.
Services were always choral, but they
were congregational. If really good
choir is not to be obtained, he con-
cludes, then have none. Go back to
first principles and let the people do
the singing. But under no circum-
stances put yourself under the anathe-
ma of Art &XXIV. by dressing women
like mer, and putting them in places
that belon to men.

Anecdote of Gen. Nelson.

'I had scrap once with Gen. Mel
son." said an old soldier recently. I'm
all my service in West Virginia up to
January, 1862, 1 had acted on the the
ory that a commissioned officer had
privileges in the way of standing in
line of battle early in the morning. l.,
in common with the other captains in
the regiment, issued strict orders for
my company 20 turn out in the morn
ing ard stand the required time in line,
but remained in bed. l continued this
practice after we went to Kentucky and
were assigned to Nelson's division,
early in 1862, and all the other COM
pany commanders did the same.
''The scheme worked well for two
mornings, and then Nelson issued an
order that every commissioned officer
from colonel down should appear fully
accoutered with his men in line of bat
stand together in ignoring the order.
But the next morning just after the
bugle at division headquarters sounded
reveille there was commotion along
the line of officers tents. Nelson was
storming through camp, slapping at
tents with his sword and routing out
ants.
Half awake, 1 was wondering what
1t was all about when Nelson roared in
at my own tent: Get out of there,
you son of a gun; get out or / will
have you shot; get out, you son of a
gun and then a slit was cut in my
tent and Nelson glared in at me swear
ing. / sat up on my cot, and pretend
ing to be only half awake, took up my
heavy boots and hurled them one after
another at the opening through which
the general was peering, shout in the
meantime, L don't know who you are
and / don't care l am no son of a gun
take that back or l won't budge.' In
stantly the general replied: You
gotohellsir-I take it back. You are a
great big, fine-looking, lazy officer, dis
obeying my orders and setting a bad
example to your men. You ought to be
ashamed Of yourself"

Toles Told by Old SoIdiers-WbitrDon's Tribute
TO
to LincolD.

It - nearly thirty seven years since
Abraham Lincoln, the matchless Amer
lean, went out into the night. He saw
the light of victory, though, before he
fell asleep. He saw his mighty men at
arms, bronzed, bearded and resolute,
their great triumph complete, all ready
to march down Pennsylvania avenue
preparatory to disbanding among the
farms and fields and workshops that
they had quilted for the fields of war.
He saw Old Glory advanced to the peak
OF every spar In the republic. He saw
the Union restored and the blessings OF
human freedom saved to the race.
Therefore, my masters, mayhap 1t Is
we'll that he rested when was fully
completed the long. weary task OF the
salvation of the country.
And here will one Of the youngest
OF Lincoln's soldiers lay down his pen,
noble and immortal lines Of Walt
Whitman, the good, gray poet:
20 Captain! My Captain! our fearful
trip Is done;
The ship has weathered every rock. the
prize we sought Is won;
The port is near. the bells hear. the
people all exulting.
While follow eyes the steady keel, the
vessel grim and daring.
But o heart! heart! heart!
o the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my captain lies
Fallen cold and dead.
30 Captain! My Captain! rise up and
hear the bells:
Rise up!-for you the flag is hung-for
you the bugle trillS,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths
for you the shores a-crowding;
their eager faces turning.
their eager faces turning.
Here Captain, dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
1t is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
MY Captain does not answer, his lips
pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has
nor pulse nor will:
The ship Is anchored safe and sound, Its
voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes
in with object won.
Exult o shores! and ring o bells!
But with mournful tread.
Walk the deck my Captain lies.
Fallen cold and dead
