CHAPTER XIV.
"The Rock of Chickamauga."

There was now a lull in the battle on the
right The fierce charge and counter
charges were intermitted. Longstreet was
reforming his men, preparing to sweep
Thomas from the field. So, too. there was
momertary respite from the attacks to
which the Union left had been subjected
all morning The two exhausted armies
rested where they were for brea thing
space ere they renewed the action. Thomas
took advantage of this respite to withdraw
his troops to the rear to a more favorable
defensive position. There was semicir-
cular hill back of Kelley's field. called by
many on account of its shape the horseshoe
and by others Snodgrass Hill, from the
home of small farmer which stood on the
top of it. A spur of Missionary Ridge ex-
tending out to the eastward it rises about
hundred feet above the surrounding coun-
try. Its top is undulating and broken.
Some distance to the westward, in the rear
of its crest, there is a shallow ravine, be-
yond which rise other hills, one ridge in
manding the horseshoe. 1t was thickly
wooded and in places very steep. AS it
covered both the Rossville and Dry Valley
roads, Thomas determined to re-establish
his line there
The troops as they retreated up the slopes
were thrown around the crest of the hill
and preparations made for another series
of assaults to be expected Firing on the
right had not yet been resumed, and Thorn

ed no word. fancied this to mean the reb-

for the hoped-for succor. He did not know.

To meet this new danger Thomas hur-
riedly extended his lines to the right and
rear along the edge of the hill, occupying
the position at first by single Ohio regi-
ment, and reinforcing it by stragglerS
from different divisions who began drifting
into his lines in considerable numbers from
the routed right. Each one brought tale
ofs defeat and disaster which might well
have appalled, the stoutest heart.
1t did not take Thomas many minutes to
surmise that he was left with fraction Of
the Union troops to hold Snodgrass hill in
the face Of the whole confederate army.
If he gave way, if he retreated were

for new buildings, the Legislation was
not passed until the closing days of the
last session, and the work is not COM
pleted.
The situation is deplorable and
should be an object lesson to the next
legislature. II is the one class Of state
institutions above all others, in the
conduct of which no false economy
should be practiced. Better to have
two many buildings for our hospitals
than too few, for in time, the demand
will grow to them. But it is little
short of criminal negligence to delay
improvements until we are forced to
turn our unfortunate creatures loose
in an infirmary where 1t is impossible
to give them the attentions they should
have.
The next legislature ought to make
an exhaustive study of conditions and
then provide an appropriation sufIl-
cient for all purposes for the next two
years. Let it not be said that Ohio is
remiss in the case Of her maniacs and
idiots. They are the most helpless OF
human beings and their comfort
should be our first consideration.

SUBSCRIBERS to the News.Democrst,
who fail to receive their papers regu-
IarIy and promptly, will confer favor
by notifying this office.

The members of st. Joseph's parish
deserve to be congratulated upon their
splendid chapel and school dedicated
yesterday. The program, attendant
upon the affair, was deliberately car
ried out and the spirit of the occasion
was manifest in all events of the day
The celebration marked the consum-
nation of jealous labor on the part of
the Rev. Father Treiber, who has a
statewide reputation as a builder Of
churches, and his Pensioners, who
gave literally of their stores of world
ly wealth. 1t is doubtless fact that
no. other religious denomination is as
adept as the Catholic in the building
of houses of worship. Note the pres
ent case: A parish becoming too large
is divided, the one half being left, with
its priest, to shift for itself. For
while the good father holds mass in
rented hall; when presto, the lounda-
tion of a church rises from the ground,
O corner stone is laid and, in brief
time, there comes a dedication. No
clarion cry for funds, no dissention,
no delay. The reverend father touches
the ground with the magic wand of
his religion and up springs a temple.
The people of Canton unite in the hope
that the building so lovingly reared
may be the birthplace of much good and
the home of many generations of loyal
and upright citizens.

What VIII Hanna Say?
youngstown vindicator.)


Now comes the city of Canton with
an expressed desire for the Republican
campaign opening, and Democratic
paper asks the question, What does
Hanna say?" When Hanna recalls
what was said in Canton recently he
will perhaps feel like shouting his this
years slogan, Hands off," At the
time when Johnny Malloy, Private
Secretary Elmer Dover, who would
rather remain private secretary than
run for congress, and State Senator
Sam Patterson were talking them
selves red in the face and out of
breath in the effort to convince the
public that Hanna in convention as
semb!ed would not indorse, the can
didacy of President Roosevelt the Re-
publicans of Stark got together and
held their county convention, eldi
among the things they did was pass a
resolution indorsing the candidacy that
Hanna had said should not be indorsed
thus showing their contempt for Han
ma and total disregard of the reputa-
ton as a trio of political prophets
which Malloy, Dover and Pat had
set out to establish. This seemed to
call for some explanation, and Chair
man Agler of the Stark county Repub-
lican committee submitted to an inter-
view in which he said that Stark ccun-
ty Republicans did things without con-
sulting Hanna. or words to that eff
feet. It's safe guess that they will
not have the campaign opening this
year without seeing Hanna.

Tales About
Town

IMMY FORD, who lives some
a where in the west end, appeared
at his boarding house one evening
with large paper box under his arm.
He said that it contained new suit
of clothes, and after placing it on The
hat rack went on the steps to tell the
folks about his new garments for he
was vain mortal.
1t happened that Ferdinand Masters
was ON the steps at the time, and
being something Of a wag, he thought
he would play little trick on Jimmy.
He excused himself and went upstairs
and got new suit which he had pur-
chased that day. Jimmy's suit was ta-
ken out and Masters new garments
were given its place. The box was then
tied up carefully and Masters went out
on the steps to hear his friend telling
several guileless maidens about his
purchase.
OF course they wanted to see the
new clothes, and Jimmy, with his box

by all the boarders in the house. When
he opened his package he seemed
somewhat surprised to find the wrong
suit, but he didn't lose his temper and
speak unkindly of his tailor. He tried
the coat on in the presence of the
crowd and as Masters was about twice
his size he was somewhat lost to view.
Then he examined the trousers and
began commenting on the clothes. He
criticised the peculiar shape of the
owner and compared his form with
that of an elephant. Then the other
boarders, with the exception of Mas
ters, took their turn and made few
sarcastic remarks.
Although Ford hadn't the slightest
idea that Masters owned the suit, mol
did the others, they all had a good
deal of sport Masters finally had to
confess that he owned the clothes and
the crowd guyed him SO numerically
that he said he never played such q
joke ON himself in his life.
