Bottle the sunshine up, my dears,

Hammer the cork in good and tight,

And earth and sky look sad:
Then fling the CHEEKY rays about,
And make the old world glad.

down-trodden race to begin the work
ing out Of it's own destiny.
When We returned from the Merf-
dian Expedition there were at least
5000 negroes following us. Many Of
them had found employment as cooks
or in some other capacity, but the
most of them had shifted for them
selves, following on day after day,
urged forward by the one desire-to
be free Some women with little
children who had fallen in with us
on the way out had stuck to us till
our return, carrying with them all the
two a part of the way, and followed
by one or more other little ones.
Pathetic, indeed, was the sight of
those poor, tired hungry people. With
them it was anything to get away
from bondage. Many of them died
rather than go back. In general. they
appeared cheerful and happy and full
of hope for the future, for, though
most of the time hungry and tired,
for the first time in their lives they
were enjoying liberty freedom. While
with us they had no fear of the over
seer and his dogs; his lash could not
reach into our camp. Often we asked
some fresh recruits to our army Of
cOntrabands, Where are you going,
SambO?" The answer came quick
"Gwine to be free! va. va, va" and
in saying it they dotted their caps
and sometimes cut an impromptu
pigeon-wing O, the joy of it all!
Yet, for all of this outside gayety,
| am of Op Mon that our poor refugee
had some very sober thoughts. He
was not only breaking up all old as
sOciations, -sOme of which, | doubt
not, were dear to him,-but was ven
turing into a new and untried world.
He found, before having been long
with US, that he was not at all GER
tain of three full meals day, or even
one; and he must at times have sad
Iy wondered what was to become of
him.
[ have heard some people who
never saw anything of slavery say
that, with few EXCEPTIONS the slaves
were we'll kept, and were contented
with their lot. If so, why were they
so ready to fee from it into almost
else-even death? Many of
these of whom l speak suffered terri
bly, at Vicksburg before anything
could be done for them. Large num-
bers of the men enlisted later in col
ored regiments and did heroic SER
vice when We very much needed it,

While on the famous march to the
sea negroes fell in with US all along
the way. 1t was just as it was in all
our marches through the heart of the
south. 1t was General Sherman's pol
icy neither to invite nor repel them.
But they needed no invitation. AS
had been the case on other such
marches, they became hostlers, cooks,
and travelling laundrymen. We knew
that every negro following us left one
less to do work on the plantations for
the support of the southern army, and
so we were rather glad to see them
come with us, while the cOnfederates
were correspOndingly disturbed to
know their labor force was thus
leaving them.
Some OF the scenes connected with
the breaking away for liberty were
amusing, others pathetic. One day
as we passed a plantation. young
negro, bright and jolly in appearance
and about fifteen years old, came
bounding down toward the road. He
Our boys undertook to get a little
fun out of him by telling him that his
mother would soon be after him. and
that he'd better run back to her.
that she was already crying for him.
But he laughed us to scorn, kicked up
care TO dat" Then he ran ahead
as if to put at once some little space
between himself and bondage.
After marching two or three miles
we met the young fellow coming as
fast as his legs could carry him. His
face had a worried expression and his
eyes had lost their snap. He picked
his way along the bushy roadside as
if III a greater hurry to get back to
his nanny than he had been to leave
her Our boys said: You'd better
hurry back! Your nanny Is back
there now by the road just a-crying
for you. You'd better run faster than
that" These remarks seemed to put
mertle into his heels, and he fairly
! bounded toward the rear and out OF
sight fully satisfied with mere taste
of freedom.
AS we came one day down toward
our pontoons on the Oconee river, al
crowded and in seeming confusion

together in a mass, and all moving

Inventive Genius SIS Did
Work for Government.

John Charlton, one of the oldest man
ufacturers of fine machine tools in the
State, died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. George Martin, 1913 Summer

uted simply to old age. Mr. Charlton

Mr.. Charlton was born in England
and came to this country when a young

During the Civil War he had more
than 100 men employed night and day
making steel bits for horses and sights
for guns for the government. He opened
a large store at New and Plane streets,
where he sold part of the products of
his factory. Shortly after he came to
this city he married Miss Matilda Ar
buthnot. and they lived for a number
of years al New and Plane streets, and
then Mr. Charlton bought large tract
of land at Lyons Farms in Elizabeth
avenue. He lived there for nearly a
score of years and then purchased a
house at 20 East Park street, where he
lived until a few years ago, when he
took up his residence with his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Martin.
Soon after he came to this city, Mr..
Charlton became a member of Trinity
Church, and attended services there
for more than three score years until
his hearing became impaired.
He was also a member Of st. Johns
Lodge, r. and A. NJ, but severed his
connection with it when age prohibited
him from taking an active part in the
affairs of the lodge.
Mr.. Charton's wife died number
of years ago. They had six daughters
and two sons. Those living are Mrs.
Martin, Mrs. Charles Jenkins, Mrs.
Samuel Mills, John Charlton and Will

branch bureau had failed today to cap

keeping tho affair secret for many
hours. 1t occurred yesterday, and the
fellow got away with $49.
Mrs, Burton, who is 25 years old, was
alone in the laundry office when man

it a wide-mouthed bottle. "It's the
newest thing out and not expensive,
either. Let me ask you to smell It."
But / don't want any," said Mrs.
Burton, and, indifferently, she leaned
over the counter and put her nostrils
to the bottle.
That was pretty nearly the last thing
she remembers, she says.
A crowd gathered around the laun-
dry door and looked in at the uneon-
scious woman on the floor. Policeman
Quinn called DR.. Webbe from the J..
Hood Wright Hospital, and Mrs. Bur-
ton was taken there and revived.

HEART BALM
OF DOCTOR
Popular Lakewood Physi.
clan D. .fendant in Breach
Of Promise Suit.

LAKEWOOD, Dec. 1O.--A great stir
was created here today by the discov-
cry that Sheriff Jeffrey had served
papers in $4,000 breach of promise
damage suit upon DR.. Alexander NJ
Heron, one of the most prominent and
popular physicians of Ocean County.
The fair accuser is Miss Ellie e. Petit.
bright and pretty daughter of a we'll
known resident.
DIR. Heron is secretary of the Ocean
County Medical Society, has among his
patients some of the wealthiest resi-
dents of the county and is frequently
called by the fashionable folk of the
metropolis who spend the winter among
the pines here. He is up in sports, and
is popular with the young set. It is
known that he had paid considerable
attention to Miss Petit, and gossips
had 1t that they were engaged to wed,
but nothing Official ever came out to
that effect.
However, the damage suit is likely
to bring out lot of information for
which the residents are looking anx-
iously. Dr.. Heron has engaged counsel
and will fight the suit. Whether he
claims to have never promised to wed
the fair plaintiff is not yet revealed.
as he has made no statement.
Miss Petit, who is represented by
Attorney r. Ten Broeck Stout, asserts
that she was wooed with all the con-
ventiona1ities and won with all the
spirit of modern lovemaking; that she
consented to become the physicians
bride and was looking forward to the
glad day, when her lovers ardor cooled
and he decided that there would be
mo wedding bells for him." AS he
failed to keep his promise, even after
her fearful admonitions, she decided
to seek redress in the law.

Logan and Bardgett and Lawson
and Macdonald Shaken Off
by Leaders Field Rides
Rings Around Wilcox
and Williams.
SCORE AT 3 O'CLOCK

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
York, Dec. 10.-Another terrific sprint last
ing for more than two miles, resulted IN
the tapping of three more teams in tho
six-day bicycle race shortly before
o'clock this afternoon. The riders had
been lolling along at an even clip, SEEM
ingly glad to rest up a bit after a nights
wild excitement when suddenly Petit
Breton. who is now teaming with Carlos
vanoni shot out of the bunch like
streak in an effort to regain the lap lost
when his first partner, Darragon. quit the
race.
In a twinkling every man In the Garden
was on his hind legs and the anphi-
theatre rang with cheers and cries. The
F'renchman gained his lap. but pulled
seven other riders with him. Bardgett
and Logan, who had been in the tie for
first place, were the only team Of the
leading group unable to hold the pace.
Lawson and Macdonald, too, were Tapped,
while Wilcox and Williams were passed
six times by the leaders before the sprint
ing ended.
The latter team is now seemingly hdpe-
lessly out of the race so far as winning
FIRST money is concerned, and as both riders
are badly tagged out their withdrawal is
expected at any hour. As q result OF the
long sprint TOUT Teams are now tea 10E
the lead, Rutt and Stol, Fogier and Moran.
Krebs and Vanderstuyft and Georget and
Dupre Logan and Bardgett are now tied
with the second group, a lap behind the
leaders, Lawson and Macdonald are two
laps behind and Wilcox and Williams
seven.
The leaders are miles behind the
record, but it should be considered
that at the time the record was
made the teams were never off the track,
while now the riders are called off for half
an hour twice each day to make room for
special sprinting and motor-paced events
One Of the worst spills of the race oc-
Cured shortly after daybreak this morri-
ing. Bardgett, of the Irish-American
team. by q desperate effort had forged
ahead, closely followed by Williams, of the
Mormon team. The latter's front wheel
struck Bardgett's rear tire and both men
pitched headlong from their bicycles. Va
noni, of the French-Italian team, who was
close behind, fell over them. The spill
occurred at Dead Mans Curve" where
most of the accidents of this race have
taken place All three rolled in heap to
the inner rail, where they were picked up
by attendants.
Williams was unconscious when carried
to his training quarters, and Vanoni ap-
peared to be seriously hurt They were
placed in bed and examined by phy-
sician, but all returned to the track later.
