A RemarlsabIe Comrade.

Editor National Tribune: There were
many comrades of the war of the :e-
bellion who served with distinction and
made great progress after discharge,
but the one I wish to give little his
tory of is now and has been one Of
the best-known citizens of Washing
ton City. Mustered into Co. K, 10th
Iowa, In August, 1862, as Corporal,
Noble e. Dawson took the oath to do
the duties of a soldier, and well did he
perform them Always on duty, al
ways ready and found faithful. being
known to the regiment as such, he
found comfort even when doing haZ-
ardous duty as well as the pleasures.
At Sterling Plantation, Louisiana, in
Point Coupee Parish, seven miles out
from the Mississippi River, he was TAX
en- prisoner with his regiment. Again
his sturdy nature took on the hard
ships of prison life, and carried him
thru the 10 months of captivity. 1t was
while prisoner L was thrown into his
company very often and where 1 saw
his fixed determination to make the
best of Ii. Every day when he could
get his finger nails clean sufficiently to
show pencil marks. he would be found
studying shorthand. He wore his
nails thin and sore, but nevertheless
he persisted, and became an expert in
the line. / did not know what he was
aiming at nor what the outcome would
be. but later on his history has become
National and worldwide. AS Gen. U.
S. Grants private secretary and stenos-
rapher and being one of his near COM
panions, watching his last moments
and, aiding in his Memoirs, showed
what his intentions were when learn
ing the art on his finger nails. 1t shows
what man may do if he tries Under
| adverse circumstances he worked for
the future, and God gave him the VIC
tory. His other achievements I have
no knowledge Of but from what
learn he has been doing the same duty
as when he penciled his nails. / write
this for the young man who reads ii
TO learn that II is not money, position,
education. nor special privileges tina,
helps a man up the ladder Of fame. OF
fortune, but the determined will to dc
his duty at all times. 1 could write
much more of this comrade. but this Is
sufficient to give credit from a comrade
who loves him for what he has done
God grant that when he shall answer
to the last roll call he will receive Is
reward.-J. q. Houghland, Color

MILLIONS DREAD WASH DAY.

Ten million American families have
washing to do and dread the coming

Usually the task falls upon the
shoulders of one poor woman Those
shoulders soon become stopped; her
hands red and gnarled. At night she
is ready to drop with fatigue.
What is the use,'' said Mr.. Bieber,
of the 1900 Washer Company, "of
modern labor saving inventions if peo-
pie fail to take advantage of them?

killed outright and seven wounded.
The regiment captured five battle flags,

from 1900 to 1900. The regiment was
some 500 yards in advance Of the ad-
vance line on the left of Cemetery Hill.
After sending the prisoners to the rear
Gen. Meade came down with score
or more of officers, Jumped off his horse

exclaimed, 'Take your regiment to the
rear, and tell them to stack arms and
go wherever they please" No greater
compliment could be bestowed upon
any troops. After stacking arms one
of Capt Koons's boys struck him on
the shoulder and exclaimed, by Jinks,
/ got 100 myself" When the prisoners
We're passing to the rear Gen. Carroll
was on little knoll on Cemetery Hill,
and was heard to say, There comes
my old Sth with the balance of Lees
army" After the terrible artillery duel
the Confederate column could be seen
forming about three-quarters of a mile
southwest of the cemetery and coming
very slowly in the direction of the
regiment. The men looked at Col.
Sawyer to know whether they had bet
ter retire to the main line, but he said,
on fn hot Itz MIA md
I am going to do it." Gen. Carroll had
| been called to the right of the Gene
terry to retake some artillery, and did
1t, annihilating the Louisiana Tigers.
After the 8th Ohio had stacked arms
Gen. Carroll came down and remarked
to the Colonel. 'T suppose you have
been raising - again. Where's your
gunstacks?" Sawyer replied, There's
