as firmly as young, well-trained
regular. He walked three miles to
join the Wisconsin delegation and
then marched nearly three miles be-
fore passing the reviewing officer
No man In the line made a more
soldierly appearance. He did not
seem greatly fatigued at the end of
the days work.
All of this for man not far from
100 years of age seems quite marvel

The One Who Tries.

Yes, love the little winner
With the medal and the mark;
He has gained the prize he sought for,
He Is joyous as a lark.
Every one will haste TO praise him,
He is on the honor list;
I've tender thought. my darlings,
For the one who tried and missed.
One? All, me! They count by thousands
Those who have not gained the race.
Though they did their best and fairest,
Striving for the winners place.
Only few can reach the laurel
Many see their chances fit by;
I've tender thought. my darlings.
For the earnest band who try.
IT'S the trying that is noble;
IL you're made of sterner stuff
Than the laggards who are daunted
When the bit of road Is rough.
All will praise the happy winners;
But. when they have hurried by,
I've a song to cheer. my darlings.
The great company who try.

fortunately, the churchyard was the
place designated for him to be on
guard Bob could not overcome the
idea, instilled in him from infancy
about ghosts frequenting this place,
so it was not long before he saw them
on all sides of him. From brave
soldier he instantly became the slave
of fear
Drenched with cold perspiration, he
called family to the corporal Of the
guard, who was stationed within hear
ing distance. The latter was friendly
to Bob, so, on hearing his story, in
stantly relieved him. Although the
corporal promised not to give Bob
away on second consideration he
deemed the story too good to keep,
and told it next day to the boys i'll

company. who, looking upon it in a
serious light, reported it to the colonel.
The colonel sent for Bob, and ac-
costed him thus: We'll, Bob, is it
true that the enemy could have easily
taken the post where you were sta
toned last evening because of your
cowardice?"
"A divil bit could they have taken
the post, colonel" replied Bob, "for
had 100000 ghosts on my right and
left flank and 100000 in the center to
commanding the ghostly forces could
have marched to Richmond and taken
the city"
Bob was acquitted of cowardice by
the smiling colonel.

Saltwater, MINI, March 24.-Judge

sweeping decision today in the case of

State Railroad and Warehouse Commits

the railroad company is directed to re-
store the switch at Otisville within
twenty days, to the same condition in

the 500 road in the northern part Of
Washington county, and a little more
than a year ago new town was
started about mile from Otisville,
known as Copas. + .-' ~>.s
The railroad placed a switch at
Copas and later removed the one at
Otisville, which had been maintained
since the road was built. Residents Of
Otisville and vicinity became highly
incensed at this and applied to the
courts for relief. At the hearing, the
railroad company commended that the
switch at Otisville was only tempo
rary affair and hadvnever been intend
ed as a permanent one. The residents,
on the other hand, furnished an
abundance of evidence showing that
Otisville had been regarded as regu-
lar freight and passenger station, and
Judge Williston upholds the view.

GOVERNMENT TO START.
WORK ON SHIP CANAL.
500 Water Power Company Deeds Land
Necessary to Garry Out Many Pro-
posed improvements.

Special to The Journal
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, March "a
An agreement has been made by which
the Pandler-D Dunbar Water Power COM
pany deeds to the government all the
land necessary to widen the ship canal
and for future developments planned
in the interests of shipping in st..
Mary's river. With these legal COM
plications thus disposed of, the gov
eminent can begin work at once. The
contract for widening the canal will
be let within sixty days, probably by
May 1. The sum available for the
work, appropriated by the last con-
gress, is 100000.
The government is now in position
to carry out all the proposed improve
ments, including the building of new
lock. This will mean the expenditure
in this city within the next few years
of between $6,00O,000 and $S,000,000,
and give employment to hundreds of
men. The new lock will be the largest
in the world and will cost more than
