association with some 1000 of her. knew
woman? Is it not probable that the
difficulty of the subject baffied even his
wisdom? That grand old heather, Soc
rates, had %antippe to wife, and Coke,
Lord Chief Justice of England, dis
played his ignorance by choosing for
a second wife one who proved as great
an irritant as would be a hair shirt
to a raw back. And even Shakespeare,
to whose master mind humanity seems
to have been an open book; even he
who gave to the world such daughters
of his intellect as Lucrece. the chaste
wife, Kate, the shrew, Cordelia, the
loving daughter, Portia, the charming
advocate. and Rosalind, who whether
in cap and kirtle or doublet and hose
was full of the wit, grace and purity
of womanhood, asks who is't can read
a woman?
HAS the question ever been answer

of contradictions? Will some far flu

a student who will unearth another
Rosetta Stone by which this HERO

of the sphinx may be read?
Said to be illogical in her mental
methods, yet somehaw reaching the
correct conclusion: asked to explain
how or why and giving as all suf-

imaginary danger. but meeting and

If she won't. she won't. and there's

man who answers Master Williams
question must analyze, harmonic and
understand.
After a lofty tribute to woman as
woman Capt. Freeman said:
And as one who knows let me say
in all soberness and truth the debt of
gratitude owed to woman by this
corps is incalculable. 1t was but yes
terday when, though lacking a large
part of the motive that impelled her
in the SOS, she was to many of us
minstering angel. And without her
loyal support and encoura cement her
unselfish and unremitting labor who
shall say that this command would not
have succumbed to the sore trials it
has undergone"

at is only on occasions like this, -
said Mr.. Charlton, that we come to
a Just appreciation of our relations TO
the place in which we live. When we
think of the Guards we think of Sa-
vannah. The histories of the corps and
of the town are so intimately inter-
twined that the name of the one sug-
gests that of the other, and the menu
cries invoked make better soldiers and
better citizens. Through the mists of
my earliest recollections as Savan-
nathan looms up the respondent vision
of the Guards.
Il seem to hear again in the soft
May air the pleasing strains If Katie
Darling as the holiday soldier passes
along our sandy thoroughfares, little
dreaming that in a few short years he
would be "a hero bleeding and suffering
and dying for principle and honor and
right, and setting the fame of his home

it would never more be forgotten OF

The BASS Drum Beaten. e

drum. He must have been born into
the world with that one end in view.
A small. slim yellow man, his execu-
ton was titanic, and it was currently
asserted and believed that every pa
rade cost the battery a new drum. l
have never experienced a greater shock
than when in later years l learned
that the stately march to which
that ancient corps responded and
which was rendered with about the
hilar;ty of the dead march from Saul,
had been designed by it's composer to
be executed in waltz time-this disillu-
sionng information having been borne
in upon me when the orchestra at a
Black Crook performance struck up
the old familiar air in order that
gauzy females might disport them
selves in the giddy mazes of the ballet.

The Memories of Savannah.
THE turbid smoke of trade blinds
somewhat as it rolls across the vision

THE VOLUNTEER SOLDIER.
Gen. w. w. Gordon Took the Place
of Col. T.. w. Meldrim.

Gen. w. W. Gordon Took the PIace
of Col. r. w. MeIdrim.
Col. p. w. Meldrim was unable to
attend the banquet, although he was
on the list of speakers and was pa
tiently waited for. He was unavoid-
ably prevented from attending by pro-
fessional engagements out of town
and Gen. w. w Gordon responded to
the toast THE Volunteer Soldier"
Always graceful and happy, Gen.
Gordon was at his best. If possible
he was more graceful and he was GER
tainly happier. Every promise made
by the toast master as to the speaker
was fulfilled.
Gen. Gordon thought it hard upon
self and those present that he should
have to respond to a toast. Himself
volunteer for forty-five years, Gen.
Gordon handled his subject intelligent
ly. He spoke of the answer to the
Presidents call for 100000 volunteers,
declared that if the call had been for
a million men the answer would have
been as prompt. He said that the
volunteers were responsible for the
prompt answer to the call and that the
efficiency of the American soldier was
due to the Preliminary training of the
volunteer. Gen. Gordon paid a high
tribute to the volunteer soldier. He
extoled his virtue and told of how he
has made history.
Cen Gordon spoke of the work of the
volunteer in peace. He is not only for
show. for attracting attention; for
pleasing the eye one parade. He is in
preliminary training for strife and bat
tie where he has never yet failed to
cover himself with glory. He recount
ed the historic deeds of those who have
already gone to rest; those who have
been put to sleep under the shade of
yon cakes.
Gen. Gordon paid glowing tribute to
the volunteers who have passed away.
His address was brief. At its .onclu-
sion Gen. Gordon received three cheers
and a tiger.

A COUNTRY FREE AND UNITED.
Col. p. A. StovalFs Response to the
Toast. 1.-The United States"

Col. p. A. StovalI's Response to the
Toast. 1.-The United States"
The response to the toast, THE
United States" was made by Col
Pleasant A. Stovall. Col Stovall be-
gan with a tribute to Hon. Henry G.
Turner. the distinguished gentleman
whose place he took, in describing
whose life and services the speaker
said he could not better honor the
American commonwealth.
Col. Stovall said the attitude and ac-
tons of the Guards, during the recent
Spanish-American war, were a sufti-
cient compliment to the greatness and
grandeur of the United States. He
spoke of the beautiful April day, when
the command, under the leadership
of the gallant Garrard," marched forth
to enlist under the banner of a COM
mon and united country. He had Wis
tied Tampa when the Second Georgia
was there encamped and been a spec
tator of the zeal and enthusiasm and
intelligent attention to duty with
which the men of the Guards had dis
charged their military functions and
prepa red themselves for the fierce
hand-to- hand grapple with the enemy
they expected. but which never came.
He had seen no better body Ct
troops in all the armies of the Unitel
States that had come under his obser-
walton and it would have pleased his
state pride. and he believed would have
amply justified it. had he seen the Sec
ond Georgia charge up the sleeps o.
Ii Caney or San Juan.

WITH A SILENT TOAST.

Dead Commanders Toasted by
Guards Before Banquet Concluded.
The centennial banquet and celebra-
