The Fourth At Vicksburg.
HOW 1T WAS CELEBRATED AT CLOSE
AT FAMOUS SIEGE.

HOW 1T WAS CELEBRATED AT CLOSE
AT FAMOUS SIEGE.
Several members of the senate
committee on military affairs went
down the Potomac river to Fort
Washington one evening to see how
the national capital is protected from
attack by a foreign foe. On the after
part of the boat as the party sailed
down the river talk drifted back to
the days of the civil war and the use
of guns and mortars in sieges along
the Mississippi was mentioned.
Were you at Vicksburg at the
time of the surrender" asked Sena-
tor Warner, of Missouri, of Senator
Warren of Wyoming.
mo, replied the chairman of the
military committee. Il was at Fort
Hudson just below there. We were
struggling to capture Fort Hudson
before Vicksburg fell, because we
knew that it would always be claim
ed that Fort Hudson was forced by
the fall of Vicksburg Senator Mel
son, of Minnesota, was at Fort Hud-
son, continued Warren, and Associ-
ate Justice White and the late John
r. Fellows was on the other side.
Il had an experience at Vicksburg
that was unique. F" said Warner.
"Vicksburg capitulated on the Bird,
but the armies did not change posi-
tions materially. Among some of
the things brought into camp was
an old book containing the Declar-
alton of Independence. and on the
Fourth of July l went out between
the lines which were close together
and read the immortal Declaration.
Both sides cheered earnestly.
What are you Johnnies cheering
for?" asked one of our men.
It's just as much ours as yours, ,"
replied one of the Confederates. But
we construe it differently - Wash

UNDERGROUND ROAD.
GREAT CHICAGO TUNNEL sYs-
TEN OPENS.
Actual Work of Digging Began Less
Than Five Years Ago--Will Make
Connections with Downtown
Buildings.

Chicago. - Chicago's underground
freight railroad has begun operations
Less than five years ago the actuoi
work of digging the tunnels was COM
menced by the Illinois Telephone ard
Telegraph company. now the Illinois
Tunnel company.
To-day the company has AZ miles OF
track operated 40 feet below the level
OF the street Every street in tina
downtown district is tunneled, and
some streets outside this district Inc
general public, not having seen the
tunnel, has small conception of the
stupendous nature of the undertaking
or its possibilities. There is nothing
like it anywhere.
When the tunnel opened for
business its capacity was two and
a half times greater than the TON
mage of Chicago, handled in wagons
In other words, If the tunnel was OPP
Grated at less than half its capacity
it would still be able to haul every bit
of freight that passes through CHI
cagos downtown district This esti-
mate includes coal as well as mer-
chandise.
Before the end of the present year
the officials of the tunnel company ex-
peet to be hauling one-ffth of the
freight and coal now being hauled by
wagons. When the tunnel railroad
reaches stage where 1t handles one
third of the present tonnage 1t VIII
be doing a business of $4,000 900 a
year gross.
No definite date has been fixed for
the formal opening of the tunnel for
freight traffic yet, but the system will
be in partial operation before many
weeks. Practically the only uelay IS
in completing the connections into the
big downtown buildings Work on
these is progressing rapidly and Is
finished in a number of instances.

LADY TEACHERS.

We often wonder if we are suffi-
GENTLY patient with our school teach
ers, especially the fair sex. 1t is so
easy when Charlie comes home with
his complaints to say disagreeable
things of the teacher. The queens
we should honor are the female day
school teachers of the land. We
should put upon their brow the coro-
net instead of speaking evil of them,
They are the sisters and the daught-
ers of our towns and cities, selected
out of vast number of applicants be
cause of their especial intellectual
and moral endowment There are in
none of your homes women more
worthy. The teachers, some of them,
come from affluent homes, choosing
teaching as useful profession; 9th
ers, finding that father is older that
he used to be, and that his strength
is not SO good, go to teaching to
tighten his load But if you could
read the history of large majority
of our teachers, it would say father
is dead" it is hard for men to earn
a living in this day and age of the
world, but it is harder for women.
These teachers after receiving their
certificates, step over the sill of the
public school to do two things, in
struct the young and earn their own
bread. Their work is Wearing to
the last degree The management of
forty or fifty children, the suppress
sion OF their vices, the development
of their good qualities, the breaking
of so many wild and frisky colts for
the harness of life, sends them home
at night weak and unstrung. let
us all be friends to the teachers.

OUR ANCESTORS.

Somehow we do not feel any very
high degree OF respect for one of our
way back ancestors. Reader, he is
your ancestor as well as ours. We
refer to old Father Adam. The great
eagerness with which he laid all his
troubles upon the vile OF his bosom,
reminds US of two many husbands in
our own community. Whenever they
look upon the wine when it is red
until they see snakes in their boots,
they invariably lay it to trouble at
home, and usually like Father Adam,
to their e'ives. From the time that
Adam and Eve ate fruit in the gar
den at Eden down to A. d. 1905,
woman has been blamed for nearly
all the troubles we lave fallen heir
to. This is not right or just. Man,
as rule is not half SO good as wo-
man. The majority of men are not
SO good as then wives. OF course
there are exceptions to this broad
rule but all will agree that woman
kind viii average far better, morally
than men. 1t is more important for
woman to be good than man. The
mother influence upon the child is
greater than the fathers. Children
inherit their moral qualities much
more from their mothers than from
their fathers. Consequently for a
boy to make good, LEI el-hea leo,
upright citizen it is very importani
for him to have a good mother. T.
better we can make the mothers OF
our land the better we make oui.
country Yet. our women are net
altogether angels, tho many of them
seem but little lower The more an
gelic they may be the more will the
race improve morally While the
future destinies of mankind rest SO

representative character of the coun-
try more than. any other. But for
the constant infusion of good, heal
thy country blood, our cities would
stagDate and die 1t is upon the
honest motherhood of the towns and
rural districts that the country must
depend mainly for the true, sturdy
citizenship that mast save US from
the anarchial tendencies and infu-
ences of our large centers of popula
ton. The modern conveniencies of
rural free delivery OF mail, rural tele-
phones and interuban trolley rail
roads, are rapidly annihilating the
old time isolation of country life al
rendering the social intercourse OF
farmers and eheir families one of the
most delightful features OF rural life.
These modern conveniences are all
educational in their character to a
less or greater extent and they mean
more intelligent agricultural popu-
lation for the future and stronger
guarantee of better social and eco
nomic condition for all classes. We
do not believe a stronger buIwark for
the safety of American progress and
liberty could be established than the
practical education OF American far

Man has his strength and the exer-

looks forward to the future, and finds
consolation in it; but woman stays
at home, remains face to face with
her sorrow, from which nothing dis
tracts her;-she descends to the very
depths Of the abyss it has opened,
measures it, and often fills it with

JEALoUsI.Y.


How fortunate it is that there is
not jealous person among our large
family of readers. We do not know
of one; do you? Such being the case
we can severely censure these jeal-
Gus people that are to be found IN
most all other communities. The
first boy ever born was jealous Il
you remember Cain took a rough
stick and killed his brother Abel be-
cause he was jealous. The sacrifice
of Abel had been accepted while
Gains was rejected. Jealousy is
simply a grief we experience on ac-
count of the superiority of others.
Their superiority in talent, wealth,
beauty, virtue, or social or political
recognition 1t is the shadow of
other peoples success which clouds
our lives. 1t is the thunder of our

CHEERFULNEss

A great many cares and trials
might be overcome, and even ;svoid-
ed altogether, by the cultivation of a
cheerful spirit. If one is invironcd
with cares and unplesantness, It's
wise to meet them as cheerfulIy as
you can. The more cheerful the bet
ter. There is nothing like cheerful
ness to scatter the mist that con-
stantiy arise in this life: It's like the
genial sun which disperses the clouds
and fogs. There is nothing like it to
brace one s self with, and strengthen
one to meet the trials and vicissi-
tudes of life. Have you not observ
ed how much easier one glides a.
long LIES pathway, who moves cheer
fully? They seem to avoid many
cares and actually win success where
others fail So cheerfulness and a
mild tempered spirit will prove a
blessing that will live in other hearts
as well as their own. If there is a
duty to perform. do it cheerfully.
The real cheerful person has more
sunshine in his heart, and will dis
pei more gloom. than q thousand
that are deficient in this. respect,
They are light to others; light
loses none of its brilliancy by light
