a bold patriot In the darkest hour of
the American republic. The Confeder-

The home for disabled volunteer scl-
diers at Johnson City. Tenn. which is
now being built, will. when completed,
be one of the most notable group of
buildings In that state. Aside from its
architectural value. the home will be
remarkable because of the broad and
liberal plan on which IL will be con-
Quoted. There are homes and soldiers
retreats in all parts OF the United
States, but they are all exclusively
either for Union or Confederate veter-
ans. This one will be. according to
the plans which have been adopted. "a
shelter for $500 men who volunteered
in the Union or the Confederate serv
ice in the civil war and in the war with
Spain" The contract for erecting the
buildings and laying out the grounds
was awarded after competition in
which six architects took part, TO J. H.
Freedlander. whose scheme comprises
thirty-tive buildings. Congress appro-
priated 100000 toward the project.
and the home is to be completed in
three years. The site comprises tract
of land a mile and three-quarters long
and three-QLarters OF a mile wide. sit
uated In the heart of the Tennessee
mountains. The place Is SO delight
| fully situated that IL Is believed IL will
eventually become popular health re-
sort. Among the larger buildings OF
the group will be memorial hall. mess
hall and chapel. and a cantcen similar
| to those which were maintained at
army posts many years ago will be one
| OF the features. The grounds will be
laid out in parks. groves and driveways
| and the landscape features Will add to
the picturesque appearance OF the
home. Gen. John 4. Richards Of Maine
has been appointed superintendent OF
construction. The plan includes large
parade ground and a group OF twelve
barrack buildings. These buildings will
be in seml-ellipse and within easy
walking distance of the mess hall
Each barrsck building will have its
own park, and everything about the
place will be 20 arranged that the in
mates may spend their days in perfect
comfort amid surroundings that are

Our Soldier f Friends


The clocks were on the stroke

The moon was bright and high.
A footstep broke the frozen crust,
A shadow passed me by.
| saw a veteran lame and old.
Whose march was almost done;
The battered knapsack on his back
Was empty. like his gun.
The silver chimes began TO ring,
| heard bugle blow:
4 dashing soldier. young and fair,
Came riding DER the snow.
The frost was on his cloak of blue,
And on his yellow plume,
And on his sword he bore rose.
A red, red rose-in bloom.
He halted where the aged man
Had fallen to the SHOWS.
And Icy winds had made for him
A bed Of white repose.
He set the bugle to his lips,
The notes OF taps" he blew.
And then knew that beheld
The old year and the new.

Capt. Stivers had not reported In com
pliance with a certain order and was
entered as absent without leave. when
this report reached the adjutant- gen
erals Office, Washington, the authori-
ties did not stop to investigate. The
order sending him to the Army OF the
Potomac was overlooked only that
which directed him to the frontier was
found. A few days after the battle of
Fredericksburg there was sent 10 the
headquarters of the Seventh Regiment
notification that Capt. Stivers had
been dropped from the rolls of the
army because OF absence without leave
A message was Immediately returned
saying that Capt. Stivers had not been
absent without leave; that he had re-
turned to his regiment by virtue OF a
proper order. and during the battle of
fredericksburg had. as senior officer
present, commanded in the fight and
was at that time in hospital from a
wound received while leading in a
charge. OF course the matter was
righted at once by restoring the cap
tain to his position. but II was not
done in the proper way. as will be seen
later on. Only an act OF Congress
could restore him. Secretary Stanton
did not wait for that. The captains
health failed him rapidly after the bat
tie and he was sent home, as everyone
supposed, to die, and was soon after
retired. Within year or two he so

Washington discovered that Capt.
