But perhaps you don't know James Stanley
Gilbert-poor fellow! he died only short time ago.
For quarter of a century he had lived at
Colon at time in the service of the Panama
Railway; lattery in mercantile life ofttimes act
ing as consul for England country Such
men as these real builders of the Empire; for
they pave the way for men who may come later
with their red tape and their ignorance of local
toms and their inability to win quickly the complete
confidence of simple people.
Let step aside moment to South Africa and
note another great Empire builder whose name is
to-day as dear to the Beers that of Gilbert to
the Panamanians. In my travels there l frequently
came upon the trail of the illustrious American
missionary DIR. Lindley 1t was he who more than
anyone else removed the prejudces which most of
the trek Beers then entertained for everything that
spoke English.
One day Lindley riding along in Natal when
a Boer joined him and soon became offensive in his
remarks about things English. Lindley, the Ameri-

can, resented these remarks, and the upshot was
that they dismounted and the Boer received a
sound threshing at the hands of the muscular mis-
sonary. The worsted Boer had met an English
speaking for the first time, and the result in
cned him to generalization favorable to those of
our tongue. This Boer became his warm friend,
and the very next day fine horse was presented
to Lindey by the enemy of the day before. From
that moment the career of this extraordinary
clergyman was one of triumph through the land of
the Beers. Paul Kruger himself told me with
grateful emphasis that it this Lndey who first
baptized him; that he grand among his
fellow Beers
On the occasion of my visit to that country
was somewhat surprised to find the English
language common not merely in Cape Colony and
at Durham but in the clubs of Pretoria and
venture to think that share of the credit for
this is due to Lindey and men like him who worked

venerable Empire builder who has lived half
a century the isthmus and can with difficulty be
drawn away for more than few weeks at a tine
even to such Arcadian delights the Hudson
Valley under the Catsl,ills. When people tell me
that the tropical life kills body and soul | think
of my elastic friend Under the Palm and
smile.
Then recall the lines of another Panama poet
who sings the " Land of the Cocoanut Tree " with
all the tenderness of him who inspired the Confeder
ate troops with the song of Dixie Land
Then go away if you have to go
Thea go away if you will.
To again return YOU will always yearn
While the lamp is burning still.
You've drunk the Chagres water
And the mango eaten free;

Only One Man for Defense

TT afternoon. Lees attack was expected
nentarly, and every man waiting ntently,
with his eyes fixed upon the open space that sep
arated the two armies. ust at this time, by
fortunate chance, it occurred to General Meade to
order General Warren to ride over the field in the
direction of the Round Tops. Warren did so, and
when he to the foot of Little Round Top he
left his horse and climbed to the summit. What
his surprise to find at this point only soldier
officer of the signal corps. He sooner looked
about him than 1t became instantly clear to him
that the top of this HILL where there were no troops
and which had been abandoned for signal station
in reality the key to the whole position His
establishment gave place to CONSERVATION.
With his glass he noted thic<ly wooded ridge
beyond the swamp; there, he surrnised, the enemy
already forming his lines, to burst suddenly
upon the Union troops at the base where in the
screening woods nothing could be known of the
movements of the enemy until the Confederates
were upon them. To verify this strong suspicion,
General Warren made his way rapidly as possible
to battery at the foot of the hill
Captain" he said, fire a shot into those
woods
The Captain of the rifle battery did so, and as the
shot. whisting, passed over the wood it must have
caused everyone of the concealed Rebels to look in
the direction of the sound; for simultaneous
flash of musket barrel and bayonet revealed to the
Northern General the presence of long line of the
enemy far outfanking the position of the Union

troops. L he tact thrilled him. 1t was almost ap-
palling strong force should have been intrenched
long ago high up this hill; perhaps even now
it not too late He rushed off a messenger to
General Meade with a penciled word to Send
General Warren at least division to hold the posi-
ton at Little Round Top"
On the summit where the signal officer the
musket balls were beginning to fly. He folded up
his flags and was going to leave but at this moment
flags waving. 1t may puzzle those people," he
said meaning the enemy, and may keep them
back for few minutes So the two men waited
watching the puffs of smoke that appeared at differ
ent distances. A thick cloud showed where the
action already raging at the Peach Orchard
in hot haste the battle spreading all along the
field; cannonade and musketry crashed and ratified
at right left and center of the long battle lines
movement of the mass of infantry which Warren
had detected on the wooded ridge plainly visi-
bic. Suppose Meade had delayed in sending him an
army corpsl
The moments of suspense came suddenly to an
end with the arrival of Hazletts battery of rif1ed
cannon of the Fifth Artillery.
The young Lieutenant spoke, General, what's
the matter?
The deuce is to payr' was the reply Il hope
you can hold out until the infantry come up"
Stayed Until He Was Killed
T GUESS can" answered Lieutenant Hazlett AS
matter of fact, he stayed there until he was
killed The passage of those six guns through road
less woods and up among the jutting bouders of
the height was marvellous; nothing but the dash
and eagerneSS of the men to get into action, to-
gether with their incredibly skful driving could
have planted those cannon on the very summit of
Little Round Top.
The infantry not far behind Among the
regiments closing in to seize the hilltop the
47th and 18th Alabama of the Confederate side
and of the Union army, the goth Maine commanded
by Colonel Chamberlain which unusually
small regiment numbering only about three hun
dred men This little force had no sooner reached
the portion of the hillside assigned to Them where
they stood painting from their exertions, than they

saw a dense mass of Confeder-
ates coming toward them;
for the two strong Confeder-
ate regiments, containing a
thousand men, had been
ordered to turn the Union
flank at exactly that position.
Discerning in a flash the grave
peril of his command, the
Maine Colonel quickly ordered
five companies to swing back
until they formed a line at
a right angle to the rest. At
this instant the Alabamians
attacked them on front and
flank, opening with a murder
Gus fire.
Colonel Chamberlain with
drawn sword moved up and
down his lines. The Rebel
bullets whizzed necessarily
past him; his men were
constantly groaning and fall
ing on every side. Outnum-
bered more than three to one,
their position was terrible,
and it was apparently a hope
less one. Yet with dripping
faces the men loaded and
fired their muskets, display
ing the cool eXpertneSS of

genius To picture in his mind eye the battle ground
that now obscured and dim, and to foresee what
would be the thing wanted there, the given point
at the given moment, on the morrow the well
nigh in5uperabe task of the Northern General.
The unexpected was certain to befa both Off
and men, and they must be ready to perform
miracles if need be- An instance of this kind was
the fight of the 2oth Maine on Little Round Top in
memory of which the Colonel of the regiment
Joshua L. Chamberlain, for his great tenacity and
his daring herois-n, received the Medal of Honor.
Little Round Top had escaped the vigilance of
TIE Federal commanders This was the smaller of
two rough hills, strewn with boulders and bare,
slippery rock, rising sharply from wooded swamp,
behind which stretched the Confederate battle line.
At the foot of Little Round Top body of Union
troops had been posted
