OLD SOUTHERN ROMANCE.

Fort Gibson, I. T., Sept. 4.
The remains of Talihinta
Rogers were transferred from
Wilson's Rock to the Nation
al Cemetery here to-day and
inferred with military hon.
ors. The ceremony marked
the last chapter in the ro-
nance of Gen. Sam Houston
and his Cherokee Indian
wife. The burial services
were in charge of the q. A.
Il. The interment was made
in the officers circle. Ad-
dresses were delivered by ar
my men and many civilians.
The story of Gen. Houston
and his Indian bride is almost
unique romance. He first
met Talihinta Rogers in
Tennessee, and fell in love
with her. In 1923 he was
selected Governor of Ten
nessee, but the Cherokee
maiden soon after went with
her tribe to the Indian Terri
tory.
Thereupon Gen. Houston
resigned the governorship
and followed the girl to Fort
Gibson. For several years
Gen. Houston lived with the
Indian woman, whom he had
taken for his bride. Leaving
her at the outbrea ak of the
Texas revolution, Gen. Hous=
ton was elected the first pres
ident of the new republic at
the close of the war, and urg-
ed his wife to come to Texas
and share his honors. She
refused, however, under the
plea that she was untitled tC
occupy such a position.

SUMMED up in few words, the
speeches of Mr.. Littleton, republic
can candidate for Governor, are
principally in opposition to existing
conditions In Tennessee under dem
ocratic rule. He attempts to leave
the impression that if he and his
party are placed in power, all will
be we'll. Tennesseans have had
republicanism and desire no more of
it. The democratic party stands
for honest and economical govern
ment and fulfills its pledges to the
people. Its record is clean, clear
and creditable, and it has an able
and eloquent champion in the per-
son of Gov. Frazier.

Sheridan'S Joy in Battle.

An eminent American general and
displomat says that in. his experience
he found the best fighters among the
half shy, modest men of intellectual
attainments and generally of business
interests, who ordinarily would walk
miles ra.Ier than participate in a
quarrel. ut when it came to fight
ing for principle on field of battle
neither cavalry charges or bursting
shells seemed to have any terror for
them.
1t is admitted that Gen. Sheridan
was an exception to most military
men. Gen. Grant repeatedly called
him the greatest general in the world
and said that if an emergency came
his estimate would be found true.
During the famous Warren investiga-
ton on Governors island regarding
the charges by Sheridan that Gen.
Warren did not do his duty at the
battle of Five Forks leading generals
were put on the stand to testify.
1t was shown that Gen. Warren, a
commander of infantry, should not
be compared with Gen. Sheridan, a
dashing. natural leader of cavalry
Both were good men in their respec-
tive spheres, but their ideas and meth
DDS of fighting differed To blame
him for his temperament would be
like disparaging draft horse because
it could not keep up with trotter.
Some of the confederate generals
who testified at that investigation
said that Gen. Sheridan during that
famous battle did not seem like a hui
man being Bareheaded, with face
black with smoke and dust, he rode
up and down the front of his line re-
CARELESS of danger, shouting and
swearing like fiend. His frenzy and
daring excited the men to extraordi-
nary efforts and carried the day 1t
was evident that in the heat of the
conflict Gen. Sheridan experienced the
joy of battle.

The Palace of Peace.


1.-THE government of the Netherlands
has finally decided to erect the palace
of peace. given by Andrew Carnegie, in
the woods of Scheveningen, on a NIL
overlooking the ocean-1
But what will they build it for?
As place to meet in and talk and
dream
And tell how they all abhor
The shedding of blood and the battle
And the rage and the ruck of war?
Win they come from the distant chimes.
From the islands and lands afar.
And hold up the dove the bird they
love
And point to a peaceful star,
Then hurry away in their headiong
To wage a new war like the Gar?
They will build them a palace of peace
Where the forest is all abud,
And the towers that lift in the air
VIII mirror themselves in the flood.
But the hands of the men who rear the
pile
Are seeking to shed more blood
And the lions of England may blush
As they think of the land of the Boer,
And the eagles of Russia may shrink
AT the sound of the lannon's roar,
But behind all this peace is a fear
And a hideous menace of war
They will build them a palace of peace
And the rulers will flock to the place,
Each one with his hand a gun
And mask of peace his face.
And doubtless before they are through
They may clinch in deadly embrace.

Fletcher webster,s Command

In following the son or The Great
Expounder" in the defense of the con-
stitution his immortal father mad so
frequently explained, Fletcher Web
ster's Twelfth, later commanded by
Col. ]. L. Bates, performed distin-
gulshed service. Recruited in the
eastern part of the state, the Twelfth
served in Bakers brigade, Robinsop's
division, First CorLs, and lost SGT men
in action. The total enrolment of the
Twelfth was 1922, the regiment was
present at seventeen general engage
ments. and the loss in action was
12-6 per cent. Out of 334 present on
the field of Antietam, forty-nine were
killed, 165 wounded, and ten missing,
the percentage of loss suffered by the
Twelfth on that fatal field being sixty
seven, the largest percentage of loss
sustained there by any regiment on
the Union side. The First Texas
which had position opposite that of
the Twelfth, in the cornfield, near the
little bunker church, sustained a loss
of 81 per cent, which shows the char
acter of the fighting in that locality
At Fredericksburg fourteen were kill
ed and eighty-six wounded, out of 258
engaged. During the time the regi-
ment was in the service, thirty-three
men died in rebel prisons.

The Criminal Youth.

Students now recognize the hope
lessness of the confirmed criminal and
the tendency is to keep such locked
up out of harms way as much of the
time as possible by means of cumula-
tive sentences and the discretion OF
parole boards, which can be used
against the ingrained criminal as well
as in favor of the boy who is not
fundamentally vicious, but only weak
or ignorant, or hungry The old theory
was that punishment should be fitted
to the offense so many years of i'm
prisonment for each grade of crime
The new system adapts it to the Of
fender, with the purpose OF keeping
him from association with hardened
criminals if he be young and OF keep
ing him secluded from the possibility
of harm once he becomes confirmed

coxswain of the kearsarqe.

Capt. John F. Bickford of Glouces-
ter was coxswain on the Kearsarge
when she sunk the Alabama, and was
one of the four seamen to receive the
medal of honor for gallant conduct in
that memorable sea fight.
Capt. Bickford was born in Mt Des-

10 years old came to Boston and en-

Joined the ship, which under COM
mand of Commodore Charles w.

Cadiz, Spain, in search of the rebel
cruiser Sumter, commanded by Capt.
Semmes.
The Kearsarge sailed from Ports
mouth Feb. 5, 1862, and after q rough
voyage, during which she nearly lost
all of her boats, arrived at Cadiz,
March 4, where she found that the
Sumter was at Algeciras, just across
the bay from Gibraltar.
Here she remained some time and
practically bottled up the Sumter,
whose officers and crew were trans
ferred to the $780, as the Alabama
was then known to naval men.
Meantime the Sumter was sold by
the rebels, and in September, 1862,
the Kearsarge went in search of the
Alabama, which was reported to be
in the vicinity of the Azores.
The Alabama meanwhile had slip

Department of Health must be re-

The malady in question has increased

Its victims are almost invariably men

disease when it proves fatal that

which pneumonia occurs in every

understood as are several less COM
