CAMPAIGNING IN COMFORT.
The traveller and War Correspondent should Make Himself Comfortable.

The traveller and War Correspondent
 should Make Himself Comfortable.
 Personally, I am for travelling light" but at the very start one is confronted with the fact that what one man calls light to another savers of luxury. I call 50 pounds light; in Japan we each were allowed the officers al- lowance of 66 pounds. Lord Wolseley, in his "Pocketbook," cuts down the of- ,ficer's kit to 40 pounds, while Ness nut, of the Forest and Stream, claims that for a hunting trip all; one wants does not weigh over 26 pounds. It is very largely question of compromise. You cannot eat your own cake and have it. You cannot, under a tropical sun, throw away your blanket and when the night dew falls wrap it around you. And if, after a day, of hard climbing or riding, you want to drop into folding chair, to make room for it in your carry-all you must give up many other lesser things. # % #'t
 By travelling light do not mean any lighter than the necessity demands, If there is a transport at hand, man is foolish not to avail himself of it. He is always foolish if he does not make things as easy for himself as possible, The tenderfoot will not agree with this. With him there is no idea so fix ed, and no idea so erroneous, as that to be comfortable is to be effeimate
 He believes that 'roughing it'' is syn onymous with hardship, and in season and out of season he plays the Spar tan. Any man who suffers discomforts he can avoid because he fears his com rades will think he cannot suffer hardships is an idiot. You often hear it said of man that he can rough il with the best of them" Anyone can do that. The man want for a "bunkie

DESKS OF FAMOUS MEN.

The desk of Salmon P. Chase, plain
piece of furniture made from mahog-
any, is In one Of the rooms Of the treas

are many Of these old desks scattered
about the country, their chief claim to
interest being that once some well
known man leaned over them
Alexander Hamilton's travelling desk,
made of mahogany and measuring IL
by 10 inches and 10 inches high, is an
interesting object. Upon this desk was
written much of his literary work, and
the worn green baize with which it is
lined attests to the use to which 1t was
put. There Is a drawer in one side and
several compartments for pens and
ink, while upon the top is lnlaid sill
yer plate with the name General AL
exander Hamilton" engraved upon it.
Within the top is strip of parchment
which says, "Given by Mrs. General
Schuyler to her daughter, Mrs. Cen
eral A. Hamilton" No doubt the con-
venient size was what recommended it
to the general.

MAKING PIPE ORGANS.
Interesting Work That In Done II
the V0Acing Room.

Interesting Work That In Done In
the VOicing Room.
Both the metal and wooden pipes Of
q pipe organ are made on the selfsame
principle Of the willow whistles that
every man made when he was a boy,
and SO, after all, pipe organ, the
mightiest musical instrument yet in
vented, is but the evolution Of that
primitive pipe Of Pan, the willow whis-
tie.
The most interesting place in an or
gan factory is the voicing room. Up to
the time the pipes enter this room they
are as dumb as broomsticks. Here the
breath Of life Is breathed into them,
and they are made to speak, each in
the voice intended by its maker. Here
the big fat pipes are taught to thunder
out their diapason and those scarce the
diameter of slate pencil and One-half
an inch long to utter their shrilI whis-
tie and others the thousands Of varying
tones between. And not only must the
pipes Of one stop speak correctly as in
dividuals and members of their own
particular family, but they must be IN
accord with all the hundreds Of others
In whose midst they are to live. To
see that they do this is the work Of q
man whose ear is keen to the slightest
variation and who must know why a
pipe does ne speak as 1t should and
how to make It, One by one the pipes
are set upon the wind chest standing
here, with the bellows and all the In
ternal mechanism of an organ properly
adjusted and with keyboard in front
Of him the voicer tests each one. By
changing the size and shape of the
aperture through which the wind pass
es he governs the tone until 1t is exact

a man with the incest sense of sound
can accomplish.

ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.


Deemed - . Disease That AMAeAs
Amateurs.
Gilbert X. Chesterton's "Heretics"
contains some of his keenest and most
amusing writing. OF great men he OBJ
serves: THE first rate great man Ia
equal with other men, like Shakespeare.
The second rate great man is on his
knees to other men, like Whitman.
The third rate great man is superior to
other men, like Whistler" In the fol-
lowing there may be discovered as
much truth as hsmor:
THE artistic temperament Is a dis
ease that afflicts amateurs. 1t Is a dis
ease which arises from men not having
sufficient power of expression to utter
and get rid of the element of art in
their being. 1t is healthful to every sane
man to utter the art within him; 1t is
essential to every sane man to get rid
Of the art within him at all costs.
Artists of large and wholesome vital
ity get rid Of their art easily, but in
artists Of less force the thing becomes
a pressure and produces definite pain,
which is called the artistic tempera-
ment. Thus very great artists are able
to be ordinary men-men like Shake
speare or Browning. There are many
real tragedies Of the artistic tempera-
ment, tragedies Of vanity or violence or
fear, but the great tragedy of the ar
tistic temperament is that 1t cannot
produce any art.

THE TEXAN RANGERS.
First Fight with Indians In which
Revolver Were Unad

Revolvera Were Used.
John Coffee Hays was reared on a
farm in Wilson county, Tenn, being
born there in 1917. At the age of
eighteen he migrated to Texas, where,
during the struggle of that Mexican
province for independence, he served
with distinction In the military cam
paign conducted by General Sam Hous-
ton, being noted for his bravery and
strategy. After the termination Of that
conflict Hays was placed In command
Of the small regular force that was
shortly afterward organized and be-
came known to fame as the Texan
rangers. Many were the desperate
fights in which he was engaged with
the fierce Comanches and border In
dams. and innumerable were the perils
which he encountered. He was the
first to supply an armed force with
Colts revolvers for use In battle
The Indian mode of warfare in those
early days was to draw their enemy's
fire and then sweep down upon them
like whirlwind, plying their bows and
using their long spears with deadly ef-
feet. So cautious were they in this re-
spect that they soon distinguished the
double barreled gun when it was
brought into use and only approached
when they were sure that such weap-
ons had been emptied. On the first oc-
casion when Hays and his rangers,
armed with the revolvers, met a band
on the warpath they allowed their FIRE
to be literally drawn, and then the In
dams charged with exultant cries, but
when the revolver was brought into
play at close quarters the panic that
ensued was absolute and the destruc-
ton Of the Indians complete. Hays
was colonel of the First Texan regi-
ment the nucleus Of which was formed
of veteran rangers

NATURES NoBLEMEN.
Those Who Are Ambitious to BE Use
full Rather Than Rich.


fuI Rather Than Rich.
A young man of ability and great
promise recently refused to enter a
vocation which would yield him a large
income, lest the temptation to become
rich might eat up his desire to help his
fellow men. He feared that the frantic
struggle for wealth and self being
waged by the majority Of men with
whom his position would force him to
associate would insensibly draw him
into the same vortex of selfishness. He
felt that his ideals would become tar
nished, that his aspirations would be
starved In such an atmosphere, and so
he chose a vocation which would en-
able him to render the greatest service
to humanity
1t is a refreshing thing in a material
age to see people who are ambitious
to be useful rather than rich, who are
more eager to help others than to make
money. These are natures noblemen;
these are the characters which enrich
life and which have pushed civiIiza-
ton up from the savage to the Florence
Nightingales and the Lincolns.
One Of the most promising things
about our civilization today is that,
side by side with the greed for gold, is
the ever growing passion of humanity
for good. The number Of people who
prefer to be useful to their fellow men
rather than to make money Is con-
stantiy increasing. This passion for
good Is the salt Of humanity; it is what
makes us believe in the future Of the
raco-SucceSs

MISSIONARY RIDGE.
How the Scene of a Terrible Battle
Originally Got Its Name.

How the Scene of a Terrible Battle
Originally Got Its Name.
Stretching for miles along the east
ern border of the city, picturesque and
pleasing to view Is Missionary ridge.
How well that name Is known from
the hemlocks of Maine to the flowers
Of Florida, and yet how different from
its name are the associates one gives
it when 1t is pronounced! In history
it Is recorded as being the scene of one
Of the fiercest conflicts of the civil war,
but to the people who know the origin
of the name 1t is monument to the
memory of a band of devoted, self sac
riticing Christian men who, Drawing
the hardshlps of emigration not for the
love of gain, but to help their fellow
men, built the Brainard mission on the
picturesque heights known by the name
of Missionary ridge.
1t was In 1917 that the Rev. Cyrus
Kingsbury, Ainsworth F. Blunt and
the Rev. John Vail first viewed the site
Of their mission. They were sent here
by the American board Of commission
ers for foreign missions, and the same
board had provided for the erection of
a mission, including school buildings
and a home for the missionaries But
the contractors failed in their contract,
and the missionaries were left without
money and without even a shelter But
by energetic efforts they created mis-
sion school and built a mill on the
banks of Chickamauga creek The mill
race, nearly mile long, is still visible.
The mill was purchased by Philamon
Bird In 1852. He tore down the small
structure and built what is now known
as Birds MILL
On May %, 1919, the president of the
United States, James Monroe, appeared
at the door of the mission unannOunced.
He was accompanied by General
Gaines. Although surprised by his Wis
it, the missionaries were ready to re-
ceive him, and he compIimented them
on their work and in glowing terms
praised the beautiful location of the
mission. The Brainard mission was
used until the Indians left 1t did an
immense amount of good, and at one
time there were more than 800 Indian
children being taught beneath its roof.
The Lords supper was observed for
the last time on Aug. 10, 1888.
In the old mission cemetery east Of
the ridge, overgrown with weeds and
forgotten by almost everybody is q
little monument on which are the fol-
lowing words:
Here lie the remains of Samuel
Worcester, D. D., pastor Of the Taber-
nacle church, Salem. Mass. first secre-
tary of the American board of commits
