W. T. SHERMAN.
Major General Com.
It will probably be remembered that
Henry Grady said Of Sherman that he
was careless with fire. in passing through
Georgia but the extent to which this
carelessness was practiced by General
Sherman I fear has been overlooked, and
beg TO call attention to the following:

The BeIated Sewers.
O. S. Marden, in May Success.

Q. s. Marden, in May Success.
These belated sewers are on every hand.
Sometimes they struggle hard to overcome
their handicapsl to meet the urgent pres
ent need by stealing time from sleep or
recreation, to learn that which will re-
deem them from mediocrity. Sometimes
they stile their longings and revel in gold
bought luxury and princely vices. They
have succeeded by money-rating, but in
their hearts they sadly and bitterly know
that they have failed; there is gall in ev-
cry cup Of nectar Sometimes these vast
ers Of springtime are ground beneath the
wheels of poverty, unable to gain even
material comfort, despair being their only
portion. where their shortcomings are in
the public eye and the public print, and
the humiliation goards them to despera-
ton. Whatever their final fate, business
success or business failure, the memory
of their wasted seedtime, the misspent
spring, mars every act

SOUTHERN SOLDIERS NOT ANARCHISTS

praise for the old frosty-headed negro ex-

no cause to lynch the negro prior 10 the

crime can charge both crime and lynch

wade 1t. Following a narrow path we
came to a foot log about 50 feet long.
Four thousand of us had TO cross the
stream on that log in single file. Imagine
how long it took, but finally the last man
was over. Since the spring Of 1865 the
Confederate soldiers have been gradually
crossing over the river and passing away.

The Dangerous Game Of Chess.

The death of n Minneapolis mer-
chant from apoplexy caused by bout
at chess calls attention anew to the
danger of games which demand too
close mental effort. A very large
number of the masters OF chess in
particular have died insane, and the
stress which menaces the nervous
with arrangement must In full-bodied
amateurs past middle age aggrevate
an apoplectic tendency.
The advantage of games involving
exercise Is shown in contrast by bill
liards. In spite of the bad air in
which the game is played, It is ben,
eficial rather than otherwise, though
inferior to golf. which, with its open.
air conditions, is well adapted 10 the
needs of men of sedentary habits, II
not overdone, as too often II is
Expert players of chess and other
games OF concentration. like whist,
pride themselves upon the intellect

But for men engaged In absorbing

the theatre. even for foolish farces

worker and superintends a gathering

periences are not unlike those OF 9TH

In fact. one answer was embarrassing
rather than amusing.
