Obituary..

Last Tuesday morning death claim
ed our sister, Nellie A. Young. Our
golden chain is again broken, and
another link fallen away; we are again
reminded of the uncertainties of human
life While our hearts are sad it is not
as those who are without the "trustful
faith of MARTHA"
"There is no death; what seems so is
transitions;
This life of the life elysian,
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portals we call death"
Mrs. Young was born in London,
England, in 1874, came to this country
when only child of twelve years Of
age with her parents. The greater
share of the time she resided in Chic
ago, was member of Woodlawn chap

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA FRIDAY APRIL a. 1906.
A Veteran at the Home.

The home.is much different than 1
expected to'fnd it. The Commandant
and all his officers are very kind and
obliging, the rooms are good and the
beds are neat and clean. Our meals
are as good as they would average at
hotel.
The commandant has two sons and
daughter who are musicians and with
the help of the quartermaster, who is
a fine violinist, they give us one or two
concerts weekly which are much en-
joyed by those who are fond of music.
The Commandments wife is the ma
tron of the Home. She is lady and
beloved by all the comrades.
The Home is under good discipline
and will improve under this Comman-
dant and as comrade of this Home I
would strongly recommend him for the
next term.
[ am sorry not to see more of the
comrades church members; but l ask
my christian friends never to step on
these old boys when there is way on
the other side, for they are some of the
boys who have helped to make this
country what it is. We are getting
old and our habits are grown upon us,
but the time will not be long when we
will cross the river and join the grand
army on the other side.
In addition to the Home is the hos
pital which is very necessary and in
some ways superior to the Home.
There are some comrades financially
unable to buy medicine or pay ;for the
necessary treatment they must have,
and they can come here and receive
the best of care, for Dr. Bentley's
heart is in the right place There are
from twenty five to thirty in the hos
pital and some of them are helpless, but
they all receive good care. Surgical
operations are never performed with
out the patients consent and for the
purpose of prolonging his life. But
we are hard patients for 2 doctor, for
our disabilities go back to the close of
the war, and we are from sixty to eigh-
ty years old-that is the Civil War
soldiers. My stay at the hospital has
not been altogether pleasant one but
successful one. DR.. Bentley aided
by DR.. Jennings performed an opera.
ton on me that other doctors have
told me could not be done with any
safety. but am we'll and all right. 1
received the best of care from the doc
tors and the steward, Jas. Knapp, and
many thanks to them. There is no
help in the Hospital except the DR..
and steward. Their time is from six
O'clock in the morning till twelve at
night then the night watch is apt to
call on them for help during the night.
The Dr's. wife, Mrs. Bentley, is matron,
cook, diswasher, table waiter and is
Everywhere present over the Hospital.
She is very much respected by the
comrades. The old lady we all call
"Aunty" who has had charge of the
kitchen for the past twelve years is
still with us and although she is
seventy-three years years old "she gets
there just the same" She is good
friend to us ALL
For the short stay that l have had
at this place have become quite we'll
acquainted with the citizens of Hot
Springs and have warm friends here,
and as six of us take the train this
evening for our homes in Madison my
thoughts will be long on my friends
that l leave behind at Hot Springs.
[ remain as a comrade.

Remarkable FIagstar.

Passengers on the Eighty-sixt h-street
crosstown cars as they near Third ave-
nue. are certain to comment on the most
unique fiagstaff in the city. 1t is re-
markable not because of preponderating
size, but because 1t Is rugged up like
the mast of ship-a strange craft
apparently anchored on a sea of roofs.
The fagstaff consists of two poles
rising from the roof of a storage ware
house. The lower mast runs up to the
regulation crosstrees. where there Is a
small crows nest" and the topmast
springs from that in shipshape fashion
From the roof of the building to the
crosstrees is strung complete set of
ratlines, while a spar swings out at
right angles in a manner TO delight the
heart of a mariner.
The former owner of this building"
volunteered the manager in answer to
an inquiry, had been sailor. When
he became prosperous on land he still
cherished the memory of his seafaring
youth. and rugged UP that mast as a
tribute to the old frigate ships, for. he
had been sailor in the navy.'-New

Lord Byron,s Athlete Feat,.

One of Lord Byron's athletic feats is
recalled to memory by the institution
OF swimming prize bearing his name,
to be competed for at Venice. During
his residence in the City of the Doges
Byron challenged all comers to swim
against him from the Lido to the bridge
of the Rialto. Two competitors pre-
sented themselves, but when the Grand
canal was won the headmost swimmer
swan alone. Nor did the poet leave
the water when he had won his race.
he continued In triumph as far as Santa
Chlrara, which he reached with ease
after swimming for four hours and ten
minutes. Probably Byron was the best
all-round athlete among the poets of
any country and any age. He was a
boxer as well as a swimmer, while as
cr1cketer he was good enough to play
for Harrow against Eton at Lords
But. of course, the standard of athletic
attainment among eminent men of let
ters is not high They are, perhaps,
better at cricket than at anything else;
put the only one OF them who plays
quite first-class cricket is Hesketh
Prichard, though we believe Sir Arthur
conan Doyle has sometimes represented
the NJ c. c. On the river, so far as
we know, only two men of letters have
excelled-Professor Furnival, whose
distinction as sculler is recorded in
Who's Who" and Robert Bridges,
who, as Andrew Lang lately re-
minded us. stroked the Corpus eight at
oxford at the time when Corpus was

The Early Locomottxea.

When one looks at the fleet, powerful
locomotives of today one can but smile
when he remembers that they are the di-
rect progeny of the little locomotives
that were the establishment of America
seventy-five years ago. There was The
Best Friend, the first locomotive con-
structed in the United States for actual
service You could almost take it into
your bedroom with YOU The Best
Friend made its trial trips in the
autumn months of 1880 on a railroad
that ran out of Charleston, s. c.. Its
triumph was great but short One day,
the next year. while the engineer was
attending to some freight for the en-
gineer at that time was also the train
crew. the fireman, negro, became an

capped through the safety valve He
nrst tried to cure the nuisance by hold

the steam pressure was stronger than

lever of the valve. That was better.

was content for a few minutes-then
came the explosion, and the negro and

Posthumous Libel.

correspondent of the London Times
raises the point that, while libel
upon a dead man may forpr the sub
ject of criminal prosecution, yet there
is no redress whatever for libel by
the dead upon the living. Thus a tes-
tator may SO phrase his will as TO libel
a legatee and injure him to an extent
far in excess of his legacy. The writee
cites as an illustration the following
bequest from an ardent teetotaler to a
moderate drinker: II give and bequeath
to A. b. the sum of ESQ upon condition
that she signs the pledge" Such a
condition inserted in will. he believes,
might do the lady legatee an amount of
damage for which ESQ would be but
poor compensation. and he submits that
in cases of po5thumous libel the execu-
tors should be answerable to damages
to the extent of the testator's estate

their opponents in the preliminary
rounds.
Gresham disposed of Billy Lundie in a
decisive maner. He sent straight right
to the jaw which toppled Lundie over
on his head like a broken column. The
first big surprise of the night was the
defeat of o. L. Kirk of st. Louis by
Frank Edwards of the Olympic Club.
Edwards staggered Kirk early in the
fight with hard lefts to the body and
kept up this play till he had weakened
Kirk noticeably. He knocked Kirk down
in the second round when there were still
two minutes to 60 Kirk was desperate
and tried his best to knock his man
out with right to the jaw. He seemed
absolutely unable to block Edwards
left jab to the head and this kept him
in continual distress. His face was
painted deep carmine from the fire.
quent visitations. Kirk improved in
the last round, but the points that had
been scored against him put him out of
the tournament.
LEONARD APPEARS.
Billy Leonard made his first appearance
at the tourney against j. Leahy. Leon
ard did not seem to be hitting with his
usual strength. but he knocked his man
down in the second round with a right to
the Jaw and the contest was over
rom haWson OF boston was outpolnted
by Harry Baker of the Olympic Club.
The bout was so close the majority of
the spectators thought the visitor was en-
titled to an extra round.
Henry Jones, who was one of the stars
on the opening night. was knocked out
in IS seconds by Stone, the New Yorker.
The decisive blow was left to the jaw.
Lefreiner of Chicago lasted only fifteen
seconds with Lew Powell of the Olympic
Club. Powell knocked him out with a
left TO the jaw which was. about the first
lead he made.
The tournament will be brought to a
close tonight. when twelve bouts will make
up the card. The class last night was
much higher than that displayedaon the
opening night. and as the boys who still
remain in have received but little punish
ment sensational going is promised to-
night in the different classes.
