can war and In the confederate army hi
was reckoned one Of the most intrepid
men who ever wore the gray. From start
to finish he was on the firing line and as
colonel of his regiment he won deathless
fame on the bloody field OF Shiloh. In that
fight he had three horses killed under him,
while he himself and four members Of his
family were simultaneously bleeding. His
heroism won for him the rank Of major
general and since those stormy days there
has been nc onice that was too good for him
in the opinion of the people Of Tennessee.
-
BE good to the office boy" is a moral
taught by the career Of William Alden
Smith. BY 1879 he had saved a little money
and wanted a place to study Blackstone.
He thought first OF Chicago, and even
went SO far as to go to that city and apply
for a job as ONCE boy in the firm Of Walker
Il Dexter. But 1t was In the summer and
the heads were all out OF town, and he
ended by returning to Grand Rapids. says
the New York Evening Post. Here he Sc
lected the firm Of Bureh & Montgomery. He
had suggested II before, but they had not
needed him; he was this time confronted
by a closed door and a card tackled on the
door saying that they were out Of town
and would not be back for several weeks.
But this did not daunt Smith, who looked
up Mr.. Pierce. the owner Of the building,
and a man OF some prominence in the town.
He told Pierce what he wanted and induced
him to give him a pass key to the once.
So IL happened that when Judge Burch re-
turned he found his ofiees swept and gar
nished and a brisk young clerk diligently
reading at one of the desks. To the in
quiries Of the judge the young fellow re-
piled that he had come to stay-that he
was the ONCE boy at nothing a week. All
he wanted, he said. was a chance to make
himself useful and incidentally to read a
little law. Things looked so clean and the
young man was 80 respectfully determined
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-05

to remain that Burch good -naturedly ac-
quiesced.
In seven years Smith was a member Of
the firm. In seven years more he was part
owner in the principal newspaper in the
place and proprietor of a branch railroad.
In another seven years he had added two
more railroads to his assets and was in
congress. Meanwhile the wheel Of fortune
has been turning; Montgomery is on the
bench of the Michigan supreme court:
Judge Burch, through the influence of his
FORMER office boy, has been appointed as
sistant to the United States attorney
general and resides in Washington; while
Pierce, who had met with financial re.
verses, was rewarded for the pass-key
which he had given Smith by an appoint
ment as assistant sergeant-at-arms OF the
United States house of representatives.
These gentlemen have found that It is quite
a thing to entertain a William Alden un-
awares.
At the annual diRner Of the Bowdoln
college alumni in Washington recently
Congressman Stevens told his experiences
as a country school teacher. 81 endeav-
ored at North Haven. a fishing community.
to contribute to the sum OF youthful in
telligence. The people lived on fish, which
l much enjoyed. But the choice dish
among those tolks was goose, which was
always set before the parson and the school
teachers. l did not like goose, but I
boarded around, and had hot goose, cold
goose, hashed goose, and every other kind
Of goose, till in that cold climate I had
nothing but goosefesh on my body" Mr..
Stevens depicted many Incidents Of the
country school-how he went home from a
country dance with the best looking girl
and was followed by her angry steady
with a lantern, who was waiting for a
chance to thrash him. 81 was pleased TO
stay at that house all night" concluded
Mr.. Stevens. I'm my winters experience
in North Haven l am confident that I
learned more than my rural pupils"

CINNE-LUSA (Sweet Water) pump
ing station is known to most of
7 Omaha's people as the p~rettiest
~ show spot among a long list of
" beautiful places in and surround
ing the Gate City. 1t is not commonly the
case that pumping engines are associated
with tasselated floors, frescoed walls and
ceilings, delicately moulded wainscoting,
arched and grolned doors and windows,
potted plants, pretty and even costly pic
lures. ~graveled walks between dainty
fiower beds, with smoothly shaver grass
plots and broad lawns. everything In APP
pointment and keeping being equal to any
private establishment that one may wish
TO cite. Yet that is Minne-Lusa, where
permanent housing is given to a mighty in
stallation OF majestic engines. some Of
which are without known peers in the
world; monsters of machinery which move
as endowed with sentient life, doing ire
mendous duty in the way OF lifting innu-
merable thousands of tons of water from
the Missouri river and forcing It hundreds
of feet into the air and through many
miles Of main and service pipe to supply
the commercial and domestic wants Of
Omaha, South Omaha and surrounding VIII
lagos. Entering the building through the
handsome south entrance, the visitor is at
once impressed with The beauty of the in
terror. which is greatly set off by the steady
movement Of the ponderous machinery,
without a Jar or tremor, without smell of
steam OF odor Of oil, slowly, surely dis
charging It's function. but with absolutely
no external evidence of the stupendous
task 1t is fulfilling. A great quadruple ex-
pansion Reynolds pumping engine. not
shown in the illustration, is continually
drawing through It's great cylinders the
hot breath of a battery Of two dozen boil
ers, converting II into energy that drives
the constant stream of water required for
the city's use six miles through a forty
two-inch main and up almost 400 feet into
a great reservoir. The energy needed to
maintain this tremendous column OF water
in steady motion at a rate Of flow which
exceeds that Of the rivers current, besides
lifting It to the height mentioned, is de-
veloped with so little exterior evidence that
the untechnical visitor is far more i'm
pressed with the sweep OF the great ny
wheel than anything else. Just across from
this leviathan OF pumps is a huge Holly
affair, quite a different type. but SO en-
cient within it's scope that 1t is from time
to time called upon to take up the giants
load and carry II for a time while needed
repairs are being made. In the eastern
wing Of the building another Of the great
Reynolds pumps is being installed. and

In a great many useful ways and more or

He proposes to edit his own magazine, but
the attractive feature will be the illustra-

be photographs, not engravings, and these
will be supplemented by engravings done

and Mrs. Christopher W.. Flock, who have

celebrated the golden anniversary Of their
wedding November II last, surrounded by
their family of two sons and three daugh-
tiers. DR.. Flock comes from Canadian stock
and was born in Toronto, Ont, March IL,
1881. At the age Of 10 he was graduated
from the University of Victoria college, and
was one Of the first graduates to receive
a license from hat college to practice med
icine and surgery. He has the distinction
Of being one Of the first persons to go be-
fore the provincial board Of the old uni
versity before the new college OF medi-
cine and surgery was founded. November
IL, 1859, he was united in marriage with
Miss Helen Eliza NeIles. She was born
in Hamilton, Ont, May 20, 1929. Estab-
fishing his practice in the city in which he
was wed, he remained there until eleven
years ago, when he journeyed westward,
locating In this state. He has since made

On his way to the train Mason was met
by Lorin Collins, then speaker Of the Iili-
