on my pluck in sticking it out The
pension officials may argue that if 1
could walk and fight after being hurt
it wasn't much of a shower. You see,

must be one of cordial and sincere
friendship We must show not only
in our words but in our deeds that
we are earnestly DESTROYS of secur-
ing their good will by acting toward
them in a spirit of just and generous
recognition of all their rights. But
justice and generosity in a nation, as
in an individual, count most when
shown not by the weak but by the
strong. While ever careful to refrain
from wronging others, we must be no
less insistent that we are not wronged
ourselves. We wish peace; but we
wish the peace of justice. the peace
of righteousness. We wish it because
we think it is right and not because
we are afraid No weak nation that
acts manfully and justly should ever
have cause to fear us, and no strong
power should ever be able to single
us out as a subject for insolent ag-
erosion
Our relations with the other pow
ers of the world are important; but
still more important are our relations
among ourselves Such growth in
wealth, in population. and in power
as this nation has seen during the CEN

A Closing Scene of the War.

Telling of his capture by the Con-
federates during the closing days of
the war, Lieut.-Col- J. A. Watrous
says:
That was nearly forty years ago.
AS l recall men and scenes inside the
Confederate Ines-my first expert
ence in that direction am glad that
the capture occurred. But for the
short prisonership 1 would not have
seen a number of men it is a real
pleasure to think of as they were then
men in their prime, some young,
vigorous, and all great as soldiers and
grand as men,
Il had two opportunities to see Gen.
Robert E. Lee, the first time the day
of the battle and the next day, when
himself and staff were hurrying with
anxious faces, to Five Forks, where
Sheridan's cavalry and the Fifth
corps were a menace to the heroic
Confederate army. Less than forty
eight hours before l had stood at at
tention and saluted our old command
er, who fought his last battle on
Mount McGregor. And now suddenly,
upon emerging from a forest, our
parry of prisoners was face to face
with another great general, one
of the greatest the world has
ever known Instinctively a num-
Der of us came to attention and
lifted our hats. Gen. Lee, iron gray,
erect, handsome, gave us a quick
glance and saluted in return That
painting of Gen. Lee is burned on
memory's plates and no other paint
ing of the South's great leader can
take it's place.
Il saw Gen. Longstreet at the head
of his corps hurrying to the aid of
Lee. Though 1 have met him several
times, l like best to think of him as
he appeared that day, with long
brown beard, a kindly eye and pale
face, the successor of Stonewa1 Jack
son, if Jackson had successor Then
there was that fiery, fearless bundle
of nerves and scars, Gen. John b.
Gordon, who was on the way to take
| command of wing of that magnifi-
cent fighting machine, Lees army of
Northern Virginia He was young
then, under So, tall, straight, nervous,
making his eyes do double duty.
am glad to have seen Gen. Gordon
then, at a time when he was spelling
for fight; 1 am glad to have known
him since. There is a real ache in my
heart as 1 think of two new made
graves in Georgia, in which sleep two
great soldiers and good men-Long-
street and Gordon.

The Silk Dress Balloon.

Even as early as 1862 the Union
army had been using balloons to ex-
anime the positions of the Confeder-
ates and even that early the scanty
resources of the Confcderates made
the use of balloons a luxury that
could not be afforded. While gazing
enviously upon the handsome balloons
of the Federals floating serenely at a
distance that their guns could not
reach, Confederate genius suggested
that all the silk dresses in the Con-
federacy be got together and made
into balloons. This was done, and
soon a great patchwork ship of many
and varied hues was ready for use.
There was no gas except in Richmond
and so the silk dress balloon had to
be inflated there, tied to an engine
and carried to where it was to be sent
up. One day it was on a steamer
down the James river when the tide
went out and left the vessel and bal
loon on a sandbar The Federals
gathered it in and with it the last silk
dress in the Confederacy. Gen. Long
street used to say laughingly that this
was the meanest trick of the war

Longstreet.

en- and these problems faced, if our
duty is to be well done, remains essen
tally unchanged. We know that self
government is difficult We know that
no people needs such high traits of
character as that people which seeks
TIC govern its affairs Alright through
the freely expressed will Of the free
men who compose it But we have
faith that we shall not prove false to
the memories of the men of the
mighty past. They did their work,
they left us the splendid heritage we
now enjoy. We in our turn have an
assured confidence that we shall be
able to leave this heritage unwasted
and enlarged to our children and our
children's children To do so We must
show, not merely in great crises, but
in the everyday affairs of life. the
qualities of practical intelligence, of
courage, of hardihood and endurance.
and above all the power of devotion
to lofty ideal, which made great the
men who founded this republic in the
days of Washington, which made
great the men who preserved this
republic in the days OF Abraham Lin
coin.

Spirit of Leaders of the Blue.

THAT reminds me,'' said the SER
geant, "of our major Some years ago,
ir visit to a soldiers home, 1 came
upon a serene old gentleman whose
eyes had a familiar look. At last 1
recognized him as major of our old
regiment and 1 wondered how he
came to be in a soldiers home He
explained that he had not succeeded
overly well in business after the war,
and that when he broke down,
through injuries received in the army,
he had no reserves to fall back on
He had no near relatives and no
friends upon whom he cared to i'm
pose the burden of his support, SO he
came to the soldiers home, where he
was assured of considerate treatment
and could maintain his self-respect-
He held that the soldiers home
was the proper place for broken
down old soldier, and, while he felt he
never could be much stronger, he felt
also that he was not losing ground He
said he was receiving no pension be-
cause he was injured by his horse fall
ing upon him, and he added with a
smile: AS the horse was killed. 1
couldn't prove it. l don't suppose any
of the boys saw me fall that day at
didn't, because they were all down at
the same time
AS the major talked on the battle
picture came up before me. 1 remem-
bered what a finelooking fellow the
major was as we went into the fight,
and how active he and his high-spirit-
ed horse were all through the strug-
gle l saw him when he went down
and pulled him from under the found
ering horse. Once on his feet he shook
his overcoat into place. put on his hat
and joined the little squad that was
left of the regiment He took his
place next the colors, and, although
suffering from his fall, marched with
US here and there as We fought our
way out
The colonel had been down. but
was on his horse again, and looking
Gown on the battered squad saw the
,ajor umping along in line with the
