FATHER AND SON.
Pathetic Tragedy of the War Between
the States.

Pathetic Tragedy of the War Between
the States.
Not all the sad stories Of wartime
come from the battlefield. Many a
heartbreak is not recorded on the list
Of the killed and wounded. The civil
war knew no more tragic occurrence
than the following incident. taken
from the New York Sun: A soldier
had enlisted from his home in Georgia,
where his father remained undisturbed
through the struggle. The young man
fought through the war without q
scratch, save slight wound which
left him little deaf. This af1iction
he never mentioned In his letters.
After the surrender he sent his ia
Their word that he would reach home
about certain date. Travel then was
uncertain, and he could not tell just
when he would arrive. =
His father prepared to receive him.
He had brought out the best plate,
which had been secreted for long
time, and with gold which had been
exbumed he bought such substantials
and delicacies as the southern market
at that time afforded. AS many Of the
old time neighbors as were living in
the vicinity were invited to the home
coming.
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the earliest
date he had mentioned. 1t was late,
and the family had retired, but the
dog heard the noise and began to bark.
The sound reused the father, who rose
and got his shotgun. The country was
overrun at the time with stragglers
and sneak thieves. The father, gun In
hand, went to the door, saw the ap-
preaching figure and challenged It.
The young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but still advanced, whereupon
the father raised his gun and fred.
His son fell, shot through the heart.
1t was pitiful sight to see that al
most crazed father carrying his life
less son. into the home which had been
made ready to welcome him. The
next day the guests arrived. Instead
Of joyously greeting the returned SOL
der they gazed at the still form,
wrapped in the flag for which the
young man had bravely fought. Ev-
cry private burial ground had in it a
grave made by the war, but no funeral
like that ever took place in the vicinity
or possibly in the whole south.

"PaternaIism

Thar never was a boy ruined in
the wide world that his nanny and
daddy didn't have a hand in the
ruinin.' I've been watchin' it all
my life, an know it's so; an if
we've got for to have paternalism,
let's have it shore enough. Whar
we see a boy gittin' out'n the
straight an narrow path, let duly
qualified officer Of the law take the
nanny and daddy out to the back
shed an dress 'em down wi long,
keen buggy whip, an have the boy
on hand for to see it well done.
When the daddies and mammies
of this country declar' that they
can't manage the youngster they've
fetched into the world, it's about
time for the state to call 'em
to taw. It'll be so arter awhile
that a policeman will be detailed
to go arm.in.arm wi ever boy in
the land for to keep him from TAX
in a drink of whiskey or smoking
cigarette, an then the mammies
an daddies kin sleep in peace

Secretary Cortelyou has proved
himself quite resourcefnl gentle
man. He has distributed the
funds of the Treasury aronnd in
National banks, has set the Mint
to work turning out all the addi-
tional coinage possible. and now he
has Issued $50,000,000 worth of
Panama Canal bonds and $780,,
100000 worth of government Ger
tificates all to help tide over the
financial stringency. As the letter
OF the President to Secretary Cor
telyou pointed out, the 6nancial
stringency exists more in the i'm
agination Of the public than any
where else. The country has al.
ready imported nearly S65OOO,OOO
worth of gold from Europe and
this with the other measures of re-
lief that have been afforded have
really put more money in the coun-
try than was here before the panic
came. The only trouble is that the
panic is still here aud the money
does not circulate as it should. The
President points out that the in
dustrial situation of the country
was never better. There are big
crops. Up to very recent date
everyone was semployed at higher
wages than had ever been paid be-
fore in this or any other country
and it is a little hard 20 see what
the MONEY furry was over anyhow.
The President approved Of the
scheme Of the bond issue while he
deplored the unreasoning panic
that made it necessary. But while
it is good enough as a measure of
temporary relief, it is only pallia-
tive measure and one that should
not be needed. The mere fact that
the government paper is issued is
likely to send back to London a
large part of the gold that has been
drawn from there and the last
state of the money market will be
but little better than the first.
What is needed is comprehensive
currency legislation. This the
President has promised to recon-
mend to Congress as soon as that
body assem- bles, and the only good
that the panic will have accom-
plished, if the pinch continues long
enough is to force Congress TO pass
some sensible currency laws such
as will render this government
poulticing unnecessary in the fu-
ture.

HAILSTONES.
The Part Electricity Is Said TO Play
In Their Formation.

In Their Formation.
The formation Of hail through cleo
tricai action, according to the theory Of
scientists attached to the weather bu-
reau at Washington; is an interesting
and even wonderful process.
The wind draws out q cloud into a
long, narrow strip. In that form, ow-
ing to the great amount Of surface ex-
posed to the air, the cloud evaporates
rapidly, and the rapid evaporation pro-
duces intense cold. Dry particles of
snow are then formed, and these, by
friction with the water drops, quickly
become charged with negative cleo
tricity. But the water drops them
selves carry positive electricity, and,
since negative attracts positive, film
of water is formed upon each snow
particle and is instantly frozen into a
layer of ice.
At this thickness its outer surface re-
mains moist, the water not freezing
there SO rapidly, whereupon the elec-
trical charge changes from negative to
positive, and the particle is repealed by
the water drops and driven to the outer
parts Of the cloud. Here the increased
cold covers 1t with snow again, and
friction charges It anew with negative
electricity. Repulsion Is now once
more changed for attraction, and the
particles rush back into the cloud, re-
ceiying upon their surfaces another
film of water, which is turned into sec.
ond ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zig
gag through the clouds, piling up its
alternate layers Of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends It,
with jingling crowd Of its fellows,
spinning to the ground.-Minneapolis
