A GREAT COMMANDER.

We tend TO think of him only as
the dashing cavalry leader, whereas
he was in reality not only that. but
also a great commander OF course,
the fact i'm his career most readily
recognized was his mastery in the
necessarily modern art of handling
masses of modern cavalry so as TO
give them the fullest possible effect,
not only in the ordinary operations or
cavalry which proceed and follow a
battle, but in the battle itself. But
in addition bestowed in the civil war
that he was a frst-class army COM
mander. both as subordinate to
Grant and when in independant

FIGHTERS FOR IDEALS.

His career was typieally American,
for from plain beginnings he rose
to the highest military position in
our land. We honor his memory
itself; and moreover, as in the case
of the other great commanders of
his day, his career symbolizes the
careers of all those men who in the
years of the nations direst need

presence here to-day of you men of

served with and under him. In all
history we have no greater instance
of surbordination of self, of the

that are strikingly similar to those
familiar in the early pages of the
copper history of Arizona. which ter

Arizona was made at Clifton abont

Under the caption, What Made
Missouri Republican, the st. Louis
Globe Democrat makes some point
ed observations which are worthy of
consideration not alone in Missouri.
It says; -
Missouri has become Republican
on the general merit of Republican
principles and the partys long rec
ord of efficiency. Seeking small spe-
cial causes is needless. In its ge-
ographical position and natural re-
sources Missouri is not surpassed by
any like territorial area in the world,
and the exercise of common sense
must inevitably lead It to choose the
most progressive policies. There is
humor as well as some truth in the
idea that il is only by emigration 10

Indians trusted him and believed his
word is the next, entitled by the Oil
Seep Under the Bluff" and one is
scarcely prepared for the tragic end
ing. The Blue Eyed Chief" follows
this and is a most interesting study
OF a man who was carried away
In infancy and held captive by the
Indians until when he was grown he
was more Indian than white and, even
though sister discovers him and tries
to lure him back to civilization, he
cannot find enough to attract him in
the new life to warrant his giving up
his Indian wife and children.
According to Ones Standpoint" is
the next tale, told to prove that the
individual histories OF Indians-even
Piutes. even the degenerate tribes-are
not without human interest In fact,
this tale, true one, has both comedy
and tragedy in It, but as in the
lives of most wild animals and saw
ages tragedy predominates. The fol-
lowing tale, Where the Burros
Browsed," is a tale of the desert like
the rest, but the element of civilization
enters into 1t more than into the others.
An erring couple find that they must
live far from the haunts of men. The
man has eloped with the wife Of his
guardian and benefactor and they are
making precarious living by shooting
wild horses for their hides. When disil-
lusionment comes IT is a difficult mo-
ment for both. and when a rare news
paper falls into their hands and they
learn that their story is common talk,
the climax is pitiful indeed.
The last story must needs be pleas
ant after all this sadness and tragedy,
and it Is "At the VIII of the Waters"
is it's title and 1t Is the tale of two
young men racing for fame and for
tune, with a girl, of course, as
the prize. One tries by foul means
to injure his rival and the other
by fair means, honor, trusting ma
ture and most OF the good qualities
in the calendar goes steadily on to
success. The title is explained In
the climax of the tale. which Is half
expected, but just as pleasing. 1t is
almost a Christmas story, too, the time
being holiday week and the love affair
eliminating on Christmas eve.
These stories are all intensely inter
esting-the style is dramatic and con-
vincing. One cannot avoid comparing
this work with the work OF Mrs. Mary
Austin. who gave US such vivid pic
lures of the desert in the Land of Lit
tie Rain" but somehow these tales
touch deeps in the heart that Mrs. Aus
tin failed to reach. There Is some
thing so human about them that one
perforce believes.
