GATE WITH A WHEEL ON IT.
The Swinging Of Heavy Gate May
Be Made Easy.

Many times for various reasons it is
necessary to have an extra long gate
on the farm. Generally wide gate
is heavy and hard to handle in open

way of overcoming the difficulty of
handling a heavy gate. writes a cor

Wis of the Second New York infantry,
to give particular instance, said that
he never would give up his old medal
because 1t was presented to him by
General Grant In person in the pres
ence Of the regiment for capturing the
battlefag of a Georgia regiment at
Cold Harbor. The new medal has been
patented to protect it against further
confusion.
The original medal of honor was cre-
ated by act of congress In 1862, the
iGea being suggested by General e. D.
Townsend. adjutant general of the
army during the war. General George
l.. Gillespie. assistant to the chief of
staff of the army, was the designer of
the new medal 1t is of bronze, sus-
pended from a hidden bar of the same
metal by blue silk ribbon stamped
with thirteen white stars. The pend
ent medal includes five pointed star,
above which are bar containing the
word "Valor' and an eagle with wings
outspread. A wreath of laurel Is
around the five points of the star. The
star Is suspended from the bar. The
ribbon is two inches wide, the eagles
wings from tip to tip covering its
width. The old medal has bronze
star of the same mold, but the ribbon
is small American flag, beneath
which is an eagle, with outspread
wings, sitting upon two crossed cam
non, with an inverted pyramid of cam
non balls beneath. This is the army
medal. The navy medal is suspended
from the ribbon by an anchor instead
of an eagle. On the back of the medal
are inscribed the name of the hero and
a few words regarding the deed of
bravery for which the token is con-
ferred.
A few years ago an order called the
Medal Of Honor Legion was organized,
which meets annually. Members OF

Why Greeley Ran Against Grant.

Edward Young, an old Washingto-
nian, was talking of the brevity of
statement of General Grant. He told
this story:
I'm the summer Of 1872, being then
chief of the bureau of statistics, was
an official delegate from the United
States to the eighth session of the In
ternational statistical congress held at
st. Petersburg. During my stay there
l became intimately acquainted with
Baron Andrew Rosen.
"As he sat beside me at dinner in the
palace of the Grand Duchess Helen he
asked me this question: why is it that
Mr.. Greeley, a Republican, is candi-
date in opposition to General Grant,
also a Republican?
ION my return to Washington early
in November | called on the president,
whom / met as he was leaving the
White House, and after thanking him
for my appointment to the congress
told him of the question that Baron
Rosen asked.
Removing the cigar from his mouth
he said, Greeley wanted the office, and
| didn't
After making this long speech he
replaced his cigar and walked away"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1907-05-22

this legion are of two classes, actual
holders of the medal and descendants
of holders. The legion has about 500
members of the first class.
Volumes would be required to tell
the story of each daring deed for which
congress has voted a medal. For the
present purpose mention may be made
of few medal of honor men who
have reached high rank One of these
is Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles.
AS colonel of the Sixty-first New York
volunteers Miles commanded line of
skirmishers against a strong force at
Charlottesville. To encourage his
men Miles several times leaped upon
an eminence, calling to his followers
to hold their ground. In this exposed
position the young colonel was finally
wounded seriously. He received the
medal for that particular deed.
The late General William r. Shafter,
who commanded the United States ar
my in Cuba at the Santiago battles,
climbed a tree during the civil war and
won his medal General Shafter was
much leaner and more active then than
he was at the time of the Spanish
trouble. when he could not have climb
ed tree to save his life. Shafter was
wounded In one leg at the battle OF
Fair Oaks. Seeing surgeon approach
ing, he knew that he would be picked
up and sent to the rear. He managed
to climb a tree. concealing himself in
the foliage until the surgeon passed by.
Then he climbed down and fought all
day on his wounded leg.
Arthur Macarthur. who. like Miles,
had been lieutenant general of the ar
my, earned his medal at Gettysburg.
He was a company officer in Wiscon-
sin regiment. On the fierce charge up
Missionary Ridge the regimental color
bearers were picked Off one by one,
Macarthur took the colors from the
hands of a wounded sergeant and bore
them to the crest of the ridge, where
he planted the staff.
General ]. Franklin Bell, the present
chief of STAFF of the army, won his
medal IN the Philippines, where be
rode far In advance of his men In pur'
suit of two Filipino officers and five
privates. He captured captain and
two privates. scattering the rest Of the
little band with revolver shots, while .
large force Of Filipinos was firing upon
him from the bamboo thicksts.

toria Cross of Great Britain. Frances
Cross of the Legion of Honor. Germa-
ny's Iron Cross and Russia's Cross of
st. George are usually conferred for
distinguished gallantry in actual bat
tie. but not always. The American
medal of honor can be earned In no
other way.
In this country, as a rule. we do not
make much ado over the medal of hon
or. When the Victoria Cross is con-
ferred, there is much glitter and gold
lace, ceremony and so forth. Now aud
then the president of the United States
personally pins the medal upon the
breast of hero, but more often the
cherished little bronze badge is sent
through the mails and the recipient
gets ten line notice in his local news
paper. Nevertheless, this Is the very
highest honor that can be bestowed by
the government of the United States
upon one of Its defenders by land or
sea.
In the comforting of this medal there
is no distinction of rank The hum
blest private soldier and the epauleted
major general may receive medals
struck from the same die. Thus In the
aristocracy of military courage all men
are equal. 1t is an aristocracy, for the
medal of honor set is very exclusive.
Approximately 2.5O0.O0O men fought
for the United States during the civil
war, and less than 1000 of them re-
ceived the medal of honor. Congress
voted nearly half of this number to
the members of an entire regiment at
one sitting. Right on the eve OF Get
tysburg, that pivotal battle of the war.

To Maine volunteer iTlf5awass iTlf5aass volunteer
ed TO stay In the army and go into that
fight. Every survivor received the
medal. Less than twenty medals have
been conferred upon soldiers and sail
ors who fought in the Spanish Amerl-
can war and perhaps not SO many up
on heroes of the Philippine service.
Many q medal of honor man has
held this official tribute to his bravery
for years and years. all unknown to
his townspeople. Some of our heroes
are too modest to wear their medals
even when they march with their army
post on Memorial day. But until three
years ago the wearing of the medal
of honor would not have disclosed to
the general public the fact that the
veteran possessed it. for unfortunately
the original form of the medal was so
nearly like that of the Grand Army
badge that only by the closest inspec-
ton could the two be distinguished.
General John A. Logan. founder of the
G.. A. R., recommended for the en-
blem of that body a design which,
though at the time he was unaware of
1t, was almost duplicate Of the med
al of honor. This design was adopted

Gray. broken choristers OF war,
Tearing aloft before their age dlmmed
eyes.
As 'twere their cross for sign. of sac

The flag which they In battle bore
Down from the choir where late their
hoarse throats sang
Till all the sky arched vast cathedral
rang
With echoes of their rough made song.
Where roared the organs deep artillery
And screamed the slender pipes dread
minstrelsy
In fierce debate OF right and wrong.

The End of a Famous Bridqe.

BY the collapse of span of the his
toric old Long bridge over the Poto-
mac river, connecting Washington
with the south, on March 13 last seven
men at work on it were thrown into
the river, but all were rescued. The
men have been demolishing the an
cient structure for the past few weeks.
The new steel bridge has been COM
pleted and Is now used for railroad,
foot and wagon traffic. The Long
bridge was very old and was used by
the Union army when returning to
Washington after the disaster at Bull
Run.
