In Old Soldiers Homes.

Uncle Sam now maintains nine
homes for old soldiers, but they are all
one as regards uniformity in opera
ton. The various homes are known as
the branches The Illinois branch,
located in Vermillion county, is one of
the most notable of all and carries
1888 veterans on the rolls. The vari-
Gus homes are located as follows: To
gus, Me-; Columbus, O.; Milwaukee,
Wis; Hampton, Va; Leavenworth.
Kas.; Santa Monica, CAL: Marion,
Ind; Danville, ILL.,; and Johnson City,
Tenn.
The last named is the latest, having
just been completed. Besides these a
sanitarium is to be erected at Hot
Springs, Ark, which will be open to
any or all of the members of the sew
eral branches, whose ailment necessi-
tates treatment.
Col. Isaac Clements is governor of
the Illinois branch and is widely
known. He was superintendent of the
home for soldiers orphans at Normal,
Ill. The cottage system is used for
housing the inmates, although the
fourteen cottages are known as "bar-

Behind each of the medals won in
campaigns against the Indian stands
a story of intrepid bravery. Gen. Fran
els D. Baldwin while first lieutenant
of the Fifth infantry, so runs the Off
cial record, rescued with two COM
panies two white girls by a voluntary
attack upon the Indians, whose superb
or numbers and strong position would
have warranted delay for reinforce
ments, but which delay would have
permitted the Indians to escape and
kill their captives.'' This occurred at
McClennan's Creek, Texas, in Novem-
Der, 1874. On Oct. 1, 1879, Maj. Fran
els Dodge, then captain of Troop d,
Ninth United States cavalry, was
scouting near Grand River. and there
heard of the defeat two days before
of three troops of cavalry under Maj.
Thornburg, near White River Agency,
Colorado. An overwhelming force of
hostile Indians was besieging Maj.
Thornburg and threatening the entire
destruction of the command. Capt.
Dodge instantly set forth, rode all
night, arrived at the scone of conflict
at daylight, attacked at once, and held
out for three days, when reinforce
ments arrived and the Indians fed.
commended in orders, but he had to
wait nineteen years for his medal of
honor.
Less than a score of medals were
granted for bravery in the war with
Spain. One of these went to Capt.
John w. Heard of the Third cavalry,
and another to Lieut.. Ira G. Welborn
of the Ninth infantry. Capt. Heard
was awarded his medal for gallantry
in action at the mouth of the Mani
mani river in Cuba on July %, 1898.
After two men had been shot down by
Spaniards while transmitting orders
to the engine room on board the
steamship Wanderer, the vessel hav-
ing become disabled, Capt. Heard took
the position held by them and per-
sonally transmitted orders, remaining
at his post until the ship was out of
danger. Lieut.. Welborn wears his
medal because during the fighting in
front of Santiago on July 2, 1898, he
voluntarily left his shelter and rushed,
under fire, to the aid of wounded
private of his company.

ten to her husband advising him to
come home.
she insisted that the letter must
not be sent, because Mr. Fowler could
not come home at such time, and
the only effect of the letter would be
to make him miserable She was so
earnest about the matter that the
mother destroyed the letter she had
written and promised not to write an
other. She told the doctor, however,
of her experience, and he wrote to
Capt Fowler himself. That letter
was in mail that was captured by
John Morgan, and in due time was re-
captured by the Union cavalry 1t did

Letter that Was wen Lost.

Did Capt. Fowler" said the doctor,
ever tell you the story of a letter
that came to him six months late?
In the course of one of the most active
campaigns of the war Mrs. Fowler,
at her home in Wisconsin. was pros
trated with a dangerous illness. Her
physician felt in duty bound to tell
Mrs. Fowler's mother that the chances
we're against the recovery of her
daughter, and advised that a letter be
written at once to Capt Fowler, ask
ing him to come home

ing interview was held in a room adj

an and at table in the corner of the
room entirely beyond her line of Wis

bureau in the room in which the doc
tor and the mother sat was in just the
right position to reflect their figures
into a mirror in Mrs Fowler's room,
in which the invalid could look with
out changing her position
while the doctor and the mother
talked in excited manner about the
patient in the next room, the patient
saw their faces and every movement
reflected in the mirror. She knew by
the look on her mothers face that the
two were talking of her case, and she
OWNED that the doctor was insisting
that Capt Fowler be sent for. Then
she saw her mother take pen and
uaper and write a letter, seal it, and
address it. Before the letter was
mailed Mrs. F. told her mother that
she knew what the doctor had advised
