Queer Beliefs They Held About the

Queer Beliefs They Held About the
UNEMPLOYED Ocean.
The landlocked Mediterranean, which
was the only sea known to the Romans
and Greeks of twenty odd centuries
ago, was filled with mysterious terrors,
while the more distant lands bordering
on 1t were the abodes of wonders and
strange peoples. Gods OF monstrous
shapes ruled the waters, enchanting
sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and
on the dry land beyond were to be
found weird enchantresses, fire breath
ing beasts. fierce pygmies and dreadful
cannibals Adventurous voyagers who
got as far as the pillars of Hercules,
now called the strait of Gibraltar,
brought back intelligence that the great
ocean beyond was not nayigable. 1t
was part of the mighty river which
flowed around the fat earth In an I'M
ending stream.
Tradition says that there was In those
times at Gibraltar stone pillar 100 Gu
bits high, with brass statue on it and
an inscription stating this TO be the linn
1t of navigation. Beyond was ''sea Of
darkness" infested with terrors beyond
the power of the imagination to con-
ceive. Occasionally bold navigator
did, nevertheless, venture outside into
the Atlantic, but was compelled to turn
back very quickly. A whirlwind would
arise and threaten to swamp the vessel,
or, more alarming still, gigantic hand,
supposed to be that of Satan, would
emerge from the ocean of eternal gloom
and warn back the mariners.
Not merely on these accounts was
the ocean impracticable for ships. II

Dispatches from places in the

Smoke and ashes from fires in this

of peculiar atmospheric conditions

and a pungent odor of burning wood
permeated the air. The haze hung
over the river and harbor, somewhat
impeding traffic. and the trolley and
elevated road service was slightly de-
layed. The same atmospheric condi-
tions prevailed at Utica and other
cities in the central part Of the state.

Theodore Roosevelt is the fifth
Vice President Of the United States
to become President by the death Of
the occupant Of the presidential Office
early in the term. g
Every one of.the five manifested an
ambition to secure by election full
term in the Office which had been gill
ed part of a term through the accident
of death. Not one Of President Roose-
velt's four predecessors achieved it.
It is for Theodore Roosevelt to
show whether he is able 10 rise above
those depressing preoedents. He has
gone into the contest for the nomina-
tion with greater determination than
was displayed by either OF his four
predecessors. The conditions are
more in his favor than in the case of;

thing now unlocked for intervenes
the probabilities are that he will be
nominated on the first ballot and not
improbably by q practically unar.

cord so far as concerns the nomina-
tion. Whether he will go into history
as the frat President by accident who
succeeded in becoming President by
election will then remain to be deter
mined.

WAR STORIES.
s'The Bravest Man I Ever Saw

old classmate at West Point. This
general ordered grave to be dug just
there on the roadside, and wrapping
the body in a blanket, he was buried
near the blacksmith shop. The kind
officer went into the shop, got a new
shinglc and with a piece Of charc al
wrote the name, Capt. Martin, giving
his company, regiment and State, and
at the bottom said: "ITe was the
bravcst man | cver saw" and then
signing lis own name and command,
placed the shinglc at the head of the
grave. The command moved off, we
are glad to say, without us.
Some years since the war the writer
asked Judge Farrar about that grave,
and he said that few days after the
surrender there came to his home o
poor, sad-faced middlc-azed woman
with two boys. about 10 and 12 years
OF age respectively in an old wagon
drawn by two very poor horses, with a
plain pine coffin in it, and asked if a
certain Capt. Martin had been killed
near there. He told her yes, and if
she wished, he would go with her to
grave. His family and some negroes
with spades went to the spot and care
fully dug up the body. Gently, amid
a rain Of falling tears, and with throb-
b.ng hearts they lifted the body out
of the grave and laid it on the grass
nearby. The blanket was turned back
aud the poor woman fell upon her
knees by it and catching hold of the
lapel OF the coat cried out with intense
agony of distress, Its him! It's
him! It's himl 0, my God, what
shall | do? What will become Of me
and my little ohildren2' The two
little boys knelt by their poor dead
father and heartbroken mother, and
throwing their little arms about her
strovc to comfort her all they could.
She exclaimed, II knew him by that
coat. [ made it for him when he was
at home the last time. But, Oh Lord,
l did not expect to see him like this"
The body was placed in that coffin
and carried away by the faithful but
crushed and grief-wrung wife. The
writer has in the last few years tried
to find out this family: but without
success. We bolieve that he was
from Onslow County, North Carolina.
Ho will never be forgotten by US who
were with him that day. He was
truly brave 'man.-Columbia State.
