remark as he looked up at his COM

There wore half dozen people stand

as though he would like to chew his
head of. ut the same time growing
out:
Don't be In such a laundering hurry

This apparently attracted the atten-
ton OF the Confederate captain, who
was leaning against the side of the
house. and moved him to inquire:
What regiment did you uns say you
was from?''
Morgan, already worried over his in

Lees Soldiers Drew Three Days Ra-
tlons From Sheridan.
There having been some controversy
as 10 the incidents connected with Gen
Clsil Grants issue of rations to Lees
lruops ut Appomattox General Michael
T. Morgan writes to the Washington
Post as follows:
| was General Grants chief commits
sary and was present in the room dur.
ing the Interview between him and
General Lee, After the terms of the
surrender had been agreed upon. Gen.
eral Lee said to General Grant:
"Geacral. | would like my army fed"
General Grant turned to me. as his
chief commissary, and said:
Colonel, feed IT,. Confederate army"
asked. How many men are there?'
General Grant asked, How many
men have you. General LeeT
General Lee replied: Our books are
lost; our organizations are broken up;
the companies are mostly commanded
by noncommissioned officers; we have
nothing but what we have on our
backs
Interrupting him in this train Of
thought. ! suggested interrogatively.
Say $4,000 menY'
He replied. "Yes, say 25.0O0 men,"
started to withdraw for the pur-
pose of giving the necessary orders and
ut the door met Colonel Kellogg, the
chief commissary Of General Sheridan's
command asked him If he could feed
the Army of Northern Virginia. He ex-
pressed his inability. having something
very important to do for General Sher-
idan.
then found Colonel M. p. Small. the
chief commissary of General Ord's ar
my. and asked him, as had asked Gen.
eral Sheridan's chief commissary. IL he
could feed the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia. He replied with a considerable
degree of confidence, 81 guess So"
| then told him to do 1t and directed
him to give the men three days ra-
tions of fresh beef, salt. hard bread,
coffee and sugar. He mounted his horse
Immediately and proceeded to carry
out his order.
Both Colonels Kellogg and Small are
now dead.
That we had any rations on the spot
to spare may be wondered Mt when the
swiftness and extent of the pursuit are
considered, but we had, and we soon
found sufficient to supply the famish-
ing army.

Decoration.

STOPPING here perchance to place
Flowers above a hero's face,
Pause and let thy roses fair
Lie amid the grasses there.
But retain a blossom sweet
For the silent one whose feet
From her hearthstone never strayed.
Stayed she there and. silent. prayed.
While the loved ones gone afar
Did the bloody work of war
Place thy bloom and say a prayer
Ger the silent sleeper there.
For her work was nobly done,
Many battles fought-and won.

I'm the country villages of Ohio Me-
mortal day, or Decoration day, as
it is more often called, is the big
gest day of the year, said an old
newspaper correspondent. Months
advance. sometimes a year, prom
lses are exacted frsm leading speakers,
who are usually referred to by the
country folk as big guns 1t is not
an uncommon thing for the governor
OF the state to make a Memorial day
address in town of n few hundred
inhabitants. The towns that are SO
fortunate as to get senator or con-
gresham to address their people nat
urally look with naughty disdain ON
sister towns that are compelled to put
up with judge, editor. lawyer or the
village preacher.
The summer of 1886 found Major
William Mckinley back at his home
in Ohio from Washington, looking aft
er his interests for return to con-
gress. To use an expression now CON-
mon and which originated with his
venerable premier. John Sherman, he
was fixing up bis fences. The same
summer found me press agent for a
tented exhibition. and made it point
to be at least three weeks ahead of the
show. and now and then during the
season. when l could gain q day or
two. would take jump back for a
day with the show and a conference
with the manager.
Recalling that the show was billed
for Cuyahoga Falls on Memorial day,
decided to join the show there and at
the same time pay few hours visit
to my. home, which was In an adjoin-
ing district. Soon after my arrival
there a procession of old soldiers and
citizens. headed by the village band.
passed the hotel where I was sitting
on the veranda and marched over-to-
ward the depot. In little while back
came the procession, and at its head,
with reception committee, I recog
nized Major Mckinley. He shook my
hand cordially and wanted to know
what | was doing there. I should add
that had met the major a number of
times before in conventions and confer
ences of Republicans, particularly dur
ing Oue year when u near EeiduNe VI
mine was chairman of the Republican
state committee in Ohio and was his
private secretary. The village recep-
ton committee just then engrossed the
majors attention. and he did not catch
my answer to his question.
Cuyahoga Falls Is the second town
Of Importance in Summit county. Ak
ron, the county seat. hustling city, is
only few miles distant. The major
had come over from Canton to meet
his constituents and to address them.
in order that he might get good train
connections home it was arranged that
the exercises should be held at 1890
p. m. This made an early luncheon
necessary. We sat at the same table

Joe was such pathetic little man.
He came from quarter of the city
where crime and misery had formed

of his unnatural little life. He was late

Our Heroes.

Mid clash OF steel and bugle call
And splendid wrath of fighting men.
What hero fears in death to fall?
What coward dares be coward then?
But in the hour of storm and stress.
When flames confront or tempest
break.
Shall We account his courage less
Who dies for simple duty's sakeY
Samoa's day OF danger found
No coward quail. no braggert boast
The silken thread of honor bound
The dying sailor to his post
No orif1amb of battle leads
The city's soldier to the breech;
No laurel chaplet crowns his deeds.
Nor cross nor star is in his reach.
But duty's pathway bravely trod
Leads up to loftier heights of FAME:
Our hero's so tls have gone to Cod
In Gods own chariot of flame.

WANT TO CLOSE UP

Chairman f. w. Macfarlane of the
court of Chinatown Fire Commission
ers had an interview with Governor
Dole and attended the Executive COun-
ell meeting this morning, to discuss the
matter of closing up the business of the
court by giving out the awards in view
of the settlement of the matter of get
ting an appropriation from Congress
The Executive council took up the
matter after MaCfarlane left and spent
a long time in discussing the course to
be pursued.
The court will probably begin to
give certificates of award at once, it is
stated. They are all ready, and near
ly all of the warrants are ready. Il
informed the governor and the coun-
ell" said Macfarlane, that we were
all ready and wanted to work in har-
mOny' with the government, so that
the certificates of award and the war;
rants may be given out at the same
time The procedure will be to adver-
tise that the awards are ready, and
the claimants can come after them. l
expect to hear from the Governor by
tomorrow morning, and we shall then
probably go right ahead with the Civ
ing out of awards"
The discussion of the course to be
pursued was very lengthy in the eNecu-
tive council. This afternoon Chief JUS
| tice Frear was with the council. The
matter of paying off the claims was
| taken up as well as the issuance OF
! the warrants. One third of the war
rants are payable on August next
The money is not available to pay then
all, but a question is said to haze
arisen as to the necessity to pay GU
until all funds are exhausted, Unde
this plan it would be first come frs
! served, and the early arrivals at thu
treasurer's office would get their none!
while others would have to wait.
