1t was in Macon that Col. Gaillard
demonstrated the fact that he had not
only all the courage of a soldier. but,
also, all the finesse of a diplomat The
bandmaster of the Third regiment of
engineers was a skilled musician and
had trained, to an eXcellency which
was unsurpassed the band of our regi-
ment. When President Mckinley
came through the South on his tour of
inspection he visited Macon, and our
bandmaster, who was a "crank" on
unification, had prepared program of
music to be played on this occasion
Among other numbers he had selected
to be played as the Third regiment
passed President McKinley's stand,
Marching Through Georgia." This
came to the notice of Col Gaillard,
who sent his orderly to the bandmas-
ter with the request that he report.
On his arrival, Col. Gaillard handed
him a program of music and said,
You will please see that this is play
ed tomorrow" I do not now remem-
Der all the pieces which Col. Gaillard
chose, but do remember that his i'm
plicit instructions were that as our
regiment filed by the presidents stand,
the band should play Dixie" and as
we passed by the monument, erected
by the women of Georgia to the dead
Confederates, his orders were that the
band should play "Tenting Tonight"
AS Mr.. McGhee says, Col. Gaillard is
not herculean, and | we'll remember

Death of "Ian MacLaren."

Death OF "lan MaCLaren."
DR.. John Watson, of Liverpool, Eng
land, died Of blood poison Monday at
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. His literary name
was Ian MacLaren," which he made
famous with his first book, Beside
the Bonnie Briar Bush" He has writ
ten many notable books since, both
stories and polemics, and in both
fields won distinction. His splendid
knowledge of Scotch life and his happy
use of the dialect of his people made
his works delightful. He was on a
lecture tour in this country when
stricken with tonsolitis and this ran
into the malignant condition that pro-
duced his death. He will be greatly
mourned in all English-speaking lands.

LEGAL NOON.
A Time That Seems to Vary In Tho

Tho courts of several states have
dealt with nm odd question. none OF

When is 1t legally noon? Fire insur-
ancc policies expire ut noon. and tho
word IL admitted TO mean exactly II
o'clock midday. But standard time
has not been adopted in all communi-
ties. Many small towns cling to sun
time. which may be from Il few min
uteS TO nearly nm hour earlier than
standard. In one state II fire occurred
at two minutes past noon, sun time,
ana the Insurance. company held that
the policy hnd expired before the fire.
sun time Is used in that town, but the
Insured GIud the company, holding THAI
local customs did not rule the policy
and TINT lie was entitled to his insur-
ancc. The state courts sustained him.
In another state II similar contention
was taken To the courts ana Just tho
opposite decision given. Several con-
1ictins presidents have been cstab-
lishcd In state courts, and 1t Is said
the question can only be decided for

Sicilles, and the other to his brother,
the Prince Of Salcrno, the father of his
brothers wife, the Duchess d'Aumalc.
