army marched through Kentucky to-
ward the Ohio border, Gov. Tod issued
an appeal to every man in the central
and southern portions of the state who
could use a squirrel rifle effectively to
repair without further orders to Gin
cinnati and other points on the Ohio
river. Each man was to carry his own
rifle, to provide himself with quilts or
blankets, to carry food for two or three
days, and was simply to climb on a
railway train and go to the threatened
point.
THE secretary who wrote the unusual
order smiled as he thought of what
might happen. The governor thought
he knew the old men of his state, and
he expected a quick response. He did
not expect, as he said later that the
whole state would turn out the next
day with rifles and bed quilts, and he
didn't know how many men could shoot
straight with squirrel rifles. At all
events there came host of thousands
from farms, shops and towns, every
man, young and old, armed and equipped
for effective shooting. AS one old fell
low said: I'VE can't cut any fiip7faps,
and we aren't stylish, but we can beat
all creation at shootin' match"
mo man ever knew how many thou
sands of the squirrel hunters went down
in squads, companies and regiments to
the Ohio. without money and without
muster, but there were so many thou
sands as to bewilder the union officers
in command on the border and to scare
the confederate officers contemplating
attack on Cincinnati. Everybody knew
the old fellows could shoot, and that
they were eager to shoot. When the
rebel army had retired the squirrel
hunters were sent home, and all they
ever received in the way of remem-
brance or compensation was an en-
graved certificate from Gov Tod. Each
old man was prouder of that certificate
with its picture of a backswoodsman in
the center and the governors picture in
one corner than | was of my commits
sion In fact, when | exhibited to my
father with pardonable pride my COM
mission as colonel he smiled indulgent-
ly, and, saying he had something bet
ter than that, showed me his squirrel
hunter certificate. After his death,
and he lived to vote for Garfield, the
certificate came to me, and | care more
for it than | do for my colonel's COM
mission"

There is little village known as

tie burying ground has the honor Of

failure. The conversation was friend

sides. Again he was invited to join

goodly proportion OF the money he had
saved while practicing law. But even
though Powers abandons Washington,
his memory will still linger. To have
been the founder of the Tantalus club
is in itself distinction which raises
Powers far above the level of the or
dinary member of the house.
At home in Boston Powers had re-
garded himself as something of man.
He was popular, prosperous and was
supposed to have a political future.
When he was lucky enough to be elect
ed to congress- he had glowing ideas
of what he would accomplish in Wash
ington, but he had been here only a
week or two before he discovered that
there is nothing of less consequence in
the national capitol than new mem
Der of the house of representatives.
He talked around a little among the
new men and found that many of them
had come to similar conclusion Then
he had an inspiration. He organized
all the new members on the republic
can side into a club. The idea was to-
have dinner every little while at
which the youngsters who were unable
to get recognition at the capitol could
throw themselves little and raise
themselves out of the dull level of
medioccity.
That was the origin of the Tantalus
club. Powers was made president by
unanimous consent, for there has never
been anything like the formality of an
election. 1t goes without saying that
the dinners of the Tantalus club were
a tremendous success.
Now, in order to perpetuate it, Pow
ers has maneuvered so that all the
republican members of the house new
to the present congress shall be eligible
to membership. They have all filed
applications and there will be dinner
pretty soon at which all of them will
be present and duly initiated. Thus
the club will be in position to per-
petuate itself through succeeding con-
crosses.

solely on professional grounds. Japan
for the last few years has been pursu-
ing a naval policy exactly in accord
ance with that which Secretary Moody
has insisted should be pursued by the
United States. The Japanese navy has
spent money in maneuvers, has used
UP powder and has worked it's officers
to the limit of endurance. The result
was shown at Chemulpo.
Now that is exactly what Secretary
Moody has been doing with the Amer
lean navy at the risk of severe criti-
cism by the economists in congress and
of some ridicule by the opposition
newspapers. So he regards Japan's
victory over Russia as complete vim
dication of the programme which he
had adopted.
Russia for the last few years has
pursued a policy directly contrary TO
that of Japan Its navy has been sub
ordinated to the army, there has been
an absence of discipline and general
slovenliness in control Russia has
been paying only half as much for
armor plate as we have been paying
and the result is shown in the celerity
with which its battleships yielded to
the Japanese attack. Altogether the
situation is one which Is especially
gratifying to the men who have the
destinies of our navy in their keeping.
