makes an appeal for the Bowery Mis-
sion bread line:
"1'he Bowery Mission Bread Line.
at which 1000 men who are out In the
streets for the night are given break
fast of hot coffee and rolls every morn
ing at 1 o'clock, is one of the most
pathetic sights in all the wide, wide
world. Long before the hour Of OPEN
ing these poor. starving men stand in
a single line that sometimes extends
for blocks in length, waiting for the
coffee and rolls. During the Winter
this breakfast Is given to an aggregate
of 100000 homeless men and boys.
and up to date over half million of
the homeless have had their weary
tramp restfully interrupted by this
unique ministration. The first of these
breakfasts is given on Thanksgiving
morning, and the last on the following
Easter morning. Altogether the Mis-
sion supplied this year over $4,000
meals and 57,072 lodgings to homeless
men and boys"

jackson Day in New Orleans.

Editor National Tribune: In the sos
the anniversary celebration of the bat
tie OF New Orleans was one of the most
conspicuous Winter season events that
occurred in the Crescent City. Jackson
Day was the patriotic holiday, and was
always celebrated in a manner that
gave high compliment to the day and
heroes, who fought with Jackson, be-
hind cotton bales, in defense of their
fair city, Jan. 8, 1915, that brought
from the small boys lungs a louder
hurrah than for the Fourth of July.
Military and civil organizations of every
kind were always ready to take part in
not only augmenting the length of the
parade, but in decorating 1t with the
most novel and attractive display. The
volunteer hand-engine fire companies
generally won the highest praise, for
Goth number and appearance. Before
The days of steam and stand pipes for
pressure they were the property safe
guard and the pride of the people. 1t
was a great honor to be a member of
a New Orleans fire company, which
had about 100 men each. with 60-foot
double strand rope, to haul their beau
tifully brass-mounted and powerful Is
foot hand-brake engine. Only athletes
and men with courage need apply for
membership In these flre-fighting COM
panies, which finally resolved them
selves into militia and figured very sig
nifcantly in the army that gave Union
defeat at the first Bull Run. My first
jackson Day In New Orleans was that
or 1858. The parade terminated at the
City Hall. 1 noticed company of
about 20, what seemed then to me To
ne very old men, march in The build
ing. l, curious to see what maE.er OF
men these were, followed the crowd
to the auditorium, where speeches were
made and stories were told, from which
l learned they were survivors of the
battle which the celebration had com
memorated; they were the first men
mad ever seen that had survived the
aWfui dangers of battle. At that time
the writer was lad of 15, fresh from
the Hoosier State. looked upon these
aeeo veterans with reverential awe.

Her Memories.

Lavfna Kearns, Aurora, Neb., writes
that she is glad that she was old enough
to understand what the great struggle
for National life meant. She is proud
that she lived in the great State Of Illi-
nois and in the grand County of Macon
that sent so many brave men to the
front. Among these was grand old
Dick Oglesby. the Colonel of the 9Th
Ill. The 41st and 116th Ill. were or
ganized at Decatur. the Countyseat, and
the first G. A. r. Post was organized
there. Her memories go back to the
Summer of 81 and to the presentation
Of beautiful flag to the 41st Ill. by
the ladies of Decatur. How proudly
the brave boys followed this flag thru
the white heat of many battles from
Donelson and Shiloh on, and she re-
members when the flag was brought
back to Decatur by the survivors of
the brave regiment under the COM
mand of Col. Isaac C. Pugh, and with
what sad eyes they gazed upon that
emblem when they remembered how
many had fallen In its defense.

Editor National Tribune: In the an
cient city of Tarsus, the home of the
Apostle Paul, is an American Board
school bearing the appropriate name
OF ST. Paul's Institute. A party Of tour
lists who visited the school not long ago
spoke particularly of a class in trigo-
nometry taught by Miss Elizabeth
Brewer, sister of Justice Brewer. of
the =. 8. Supreme Court, and of some
examination papers in psychology.
These were written in English in a
good hand and a simple, clear style
such as any American college boy
might be proud OF handing to his teach
er. Five languages are taught--Eng-
lish. French, Turkish, Greek and Ar
menian. The man who cannot speak
at least three Of these languages in
Turkey Is greatly handicapped. The
pupils number about 16O, many of
whom are orphans from the Armenian
massacres. The quality of manhood
In these fellows is shown BY the way
they helped In the erection of some
new buildings recently. The original
quarters became wholly inadequate,
and materials for a new hail were

dormitories and class roor lille the
students slept In tents ano -acited out

removed, but for weeks a guard stood
at the gate to protect the workmen

The man at the head of this enter
prise, Thomas Devidson Christie, dis
tingu1shed himself during our civil war
by taking many a difficult message to
Garcia. he was with Sherman on his
march to the sea. and was hit three
times in battle. Once he rode day and
night to save a regiment from a peri
lous position. Memories of these ey-
plolts were revived when his bows in
Tarsus were digging for the founda-
tfons OF their new school building. Sixty
OF them once volunteered to work all
night In order to be ready for the
