FAMOUS BATTLE SONGS.
Two instances Where the Tide was
Turned by singing Them.


There are two instances on record OF
II battle being won by q war song. In
the fifth century Germanus, bishop OF
Auxerre. and Lupus, bishop OF Troyes,
were sent into Britain to refute the
doctrines of Pelagius. During their
stay In this island the Picts and SCOTS,
hearing that the Roman legion nao
been withdrawn, commenced hostlli-
ties and drove the Britons from the
northern to the more southern parts OF
the island. Germanus, at the request
of the hard pressed islanders, led them
against the Picts and Scots, who had
advanced as far as Mold. In Flintshire
! The bishop having been military
commander in his youth. placed his
men in an advantageous position ana
then started one Of the songs OF the
church. This song began at the COM
mencement of the battle, and so vocif-
erously did the Britons sing the re-
frain. "Halleluiah." that the hills, cen
ding with the sound, terrified their en-
emies and caused them to flee in all d.
rections This was called the haiieiu-
iah victory. The date Is fixed py all
historians at A. ID. 429
The second instance occurred on Tue
9th of November, 1902, when the
French, under Dumouriez, encountered
the Austrians at Jemmapes, IN Beigi'
I'M. The day was going dead against
the French, when Dumouriez ran ou'
TO the front and raised the "Marseil
laise." Forty thousand voices Instantly
took up the chorus, and. inspired oy
the magic of the battle song. TINS
French rallied and fell so furiously
upon the Austrians that the tide Of
battle was completely turned and VIC
tory given for defeat.-Pearson's week

A Great Capital CITY.

Indianapolis, like Jerusalem, "a city
at unity with itself" where the tribes
assemble. and where the seat OF judg-
ment Is established, Is In every sense
the capital Of all the Hoosiers. with
the exception Of Boston and Provi-
dence il is the largest state capital IN
the country. and no other American
city without water communication Is
as large. 1t is distinguished primarily
by the essentially American character
of it's people. The total foreign born
population Of indianapolis at the last
census was only 1900, whereas Hart
ford, which is only half the size OF
the city Of indianapolis, returned Z5,-
600: Rochester, with 1000 fewer peo-
ple. returned 10000, and Worcester,
IN n total of $4,000, reported $1,000 as
foreign born. A considerable body or
Germans and COMMUNICATIONS have
contributed much to the making OF the
city. but the town has been passed
over by the Swedes, Poles and Bohe-
miaps that are to be reckoned within
many American cities. There are,
however, 5000 negro voters In the city
indianapolis Is marked again by the
stability of its population A large per-
centage Of the householders own their

New York and Educators.

New York city is gradually drawing
the strongest educators to service IN
public or private institutions. Column
bia university has just captured DR..
John Dewey Messrs. Atkinson, FIN
lev, McMurty, Gilbert, Edison. Marble
and host of others of high standing
have been summoned to Gotham in the
past few years. Many of them Will
wear themselves out in the strenuous
conditions of New York life, but the
fact remains that they are there and at
work. If Boston were to change It's
superintendent the first move should
be to secure one of the biggest educa-
tors of the country to fill his place

HAWTHORNE'S WORKS..
The High Standard They Have SET

For American Literature
Two things are to be remembered
when HawthOrne's name Is mentioned
First the glory he reflects upon Amer

Hawthorne. These have the clear
promise of perpetuity. The themes are

The death OF Henry NJ. Stanley re
calls many anecdotes not only OF the
great explorer, but Of his beautifnl
widow. who was Miss Dorothy Ten

into some unenviable notoriety by f.

is said to have inspired. While the
novel was the rage the author wrote

In the geological branch of the Brit

wonderful specimen of natural imita-
ton in a small ribbon jasper" This
stone. the material of which is not I'M
like that of other banded agates, has
upon its surface perfect miniature
portrait of the poet Chaucer. Every
detail is startlingIy correct. There are
the white face, the pOuting lips, the
broad. low forehead and even the

Timbuktu is chiefly interesting as
the subject of verses submitted for a
prize offered many years ago by Puncn
for rhymes to that curious name. one
Of the verses was:
If were a cassowary
On the plains of Timbuktu,
l would eat missionary,
skin and bones and hymn book too
Another, with a more perfect rhyme
ran thus:
AS was hunting on the plains,
All on the plains Of Timbuktu,
A buck was all got for my pains,
And he was a slim bp Z too.

The bishop of London.

DIR. Ingram, bishop of London, con-
veys the idea Of q man born TO com
mand. 1t has been said Of him that in
olden days he probably would have en-
forced his especial brand of theology
with battleax. In his ordinary clothes
he irresistibly reminds one of Sherlock
Holmes on the trail "A long aquiline
nose, piercing gray eyes, lean, strong
Jaw and thin, curving lips. But with
his smile all this vanishes. and the
bishop becomes a genial humorist' a
large hearted, warm blOOded man.
