native town of Racine, Wis, while he
lay in a southern prison, awaiting an
opportunity to communicate with those
who were mourning for him at home.
He was a member of the first regiment
enlisted from Wisconsin and he was
wounded at the battle of Bull Run and
left on the field grievously wounded. A
year later he appeared in Washington
and amazed Senator Timothy o. Howe
by walking into his committee room
and asking for furlough in order that
he might rejoin his regiment. The sem
ator looked at him hard: but you are
dead, Bill" he exclaimed. How can
you go back to your regiment?" New
ertheless Upham persisted and Howe
took him up to the white house. Uncle
Abe" bent kindly eye on him. "No, I
can't send you back to your regiment -
he said. "You have already done every
thing a man can do for his country.
You have fought, bled and died for
her. You are officially recorded as dead
and of course you can't do any more
fighting in this war; I can't send you
back to your regiment, but tell you
what I can do. I will send you to West
Point and make soldier of YOU"
And sure enough to West Point the
boy went and graduated into the regu-
lar army in the same class with Quar-
termaster General Humphrey and
several others who have made high
rank in the army. e
Upham remained only short time
in the service after the close of the
war and then went back to Wisconsin,
where. he settled down and went into
the lumber business, marrying in due
season a little girl who had been afi-
anced to him as boy and who had
worn black for him when the news
came to Racine of his demise She has
to-day the scrap book she made then
containing the newspaper accounts OF
the funeral services with the eulo-
gums of the first Wisconsin soldier
to fall in the war. ...- :
When Upham was mentioned for
governor there were two others in the
race and it was pretty three-cornered
fight The first ballot resulted in no
choice. Then one of Upham's support
ers rose and read from the Chicago
Inter Ocean the story of how he once
died for his country. The tide was
turned his way and he was nominated
on the next ballot.

"Abide with Me-"

How the beautiful hymn abide with
Me" came into being is recalled by the
efforts which are being made to COM
plete the rebuilding of the Lower Brix-
ham church, England, which was be-
gun 30 years ago in memory Of the
author of the hymn, the Rev. Henry
Francis Lyle. At the age of 81 ne
found himself doomed to die Of COLI
sumption. In sorrow at having to leave
his work unfinished he prayed that it
might be granted to him to write ,-oms-
thing which would live to the glory Of
God when he was dead. His prayer was
granted and he wrote "Abide with Me"
on the last evening that he ever spent
at Brixham. after preaching to his con-
gregation for the last time.

The poor. benighted heather has no bills

He never has to purchase gowns or bon

He never has to fuss and fume and struggle

To have cash for the packages that come

Contribute literally for the sullen heather,

And let us put him in the plight Of all the

HERE'S OFFICIAL ROSTER
 OF MONTGOMERY BALL TEAM
Hacker, Whitaker, Schwartz, Delehanty, Roach and Lansing Are Among the New Ones.
 Practice Begins Soon.

Pacific coast league last season. For second base, John Whitaker and Charles Schwartz will fight 1t out. Both of these men are Califcrnians, and both are heavy hitters and fast fielders.
 At short Kid Busch seems to be a fix ture and a better all round man for that dimcult position would be hard to find. The youngster was great favorite with local fans last season and, while he made lots of errors, he took more chances than any shQrtstop in the Southern League, going after everything in sight and getting 1t lots oftener than he miss ed. Towards the end of the season he picked up wonderfully in his batting, and with the light bat that Link Stickney gave him he should be good hitter and a valuable man this season.
 Fred Moore. who has been drafted, while a brilliant infielder, cannot hit, at least he has never done SO. and he will have to hustle if he wants the second bag.
 Then there is Pabst on first and field captain. but if he Is not. able, to play this season the chances are that Whita- ker will be on first, Schwartz or Moore on second with Delehanty or Lansing on third.
 Bill Spratt wrote here that he did not think he was fast enough to play in the Southern League this summer and that if Montgomery would give him his re- lease he thought that he would be able to catch on with some minor league team Not wishing to deprive Spratt of a chance to forage for his commissary department Manager Stickney gave him an uncondi- tional release.
 Clarence Childs still belongs to Mont- gomery, but he will in all probability, be sold to the highest bidder.
 Possibly the strongest part of the ag- gregation Is the outfield, all five of them being fast felders and great hitters Ike Durrett hits way over 300, and Is one of the longest throwers in the South, as Is Link Stickney who is also a hard hit ter. Molesworth hits far above 300, and is one of the best men for a ball in the air in the business besides being a speedy man on the paths Elmer Zacker while not known in Montgomery. is said to be very fast. hitting at a 300 clip. "Old Horse" Burnett completes the sex tette. and If there is faster array of talent for an outfeld anywhere in the league this summer, 1t has not been shown yet.
 A few days ago The Advertiser an- nounced the wonderfully fast aggrega- tion: Clark and Manners. catchers; Stultz, Polchow, Deaver and Brandt, pitchers; Delehanty or lansing. third base; Schwartz or Moore, second base; Pabst. first base; Durrett, Molesworth and Stickney outfielders. Since then the ad- ditional men mentioned have been sign ed, making the team one of the fastest in the league.
