1885, and ever. since has been a meInl
Der of that post. He has passed
through the various offices of the Post
and has also held higher offices in the
G.. A. r. He was a member of the
Council of Administration under Com
Chief Gen. LAWYER; was as
sistant inspector general under Com
manderin-Chief Gen. Ell Terrence,
and was aide on the staff of Command
er-ln-Chief Veasey. He has been a del

one year was a delegate at-large.
But the war record of Department
Commander McCausland is but a part
of his life story. In no other person
ality could the aphorism of "beating
the sword into the plowshare'' be ex-
emplified better.
For six years A. w. McCausland was
president of the Gardiner Board of
Trade and later has served as one of
its vice presidents. During the period
tie two great carnivals were instituted
which eventually resulted in the rails
ing of $4,000 for new industries, en-
abling the city of Gardiner to keep to
the forefront industrially.
= Commander McCausland comes of a
family that for generations is proud to
Gardiner as their birth
place and their home. Mr. McCausland
in 1868, Abbie f., the daughter
of A. F. Wing. and thrae children were
born, one of whom, Fred e. McCaus-
land, survives Mr.. McCausland's son
is treasurer Of the Oakland Manufac-
turing Co, and his daughter, Miss
Eleanor McCausland, y years Of age,
is of the sixth generation of the fam
ly to be born in Gardiner.

sion agent, and l.. B. Comins.
The exercises of the evening were
characterized by great and spontaneous
enthusiasm, with frequent cheers and
more frequent applause. None of the
eloquent speakers begrudged the great
enthusiasm that greeted Mr.. McCaus-
land when he rose to address the vast
audience in the Coliseum, nor did they
feel like discounting the ready assent
with which his words We're received.
President Warren S. Whitmore of
the Gardiner Board of Trade presided
and the first speaker was Judge J. NJ
I.arrabee who voiced in a well deliv-
cred address the cordial feelings Which
the people of Gardiner held i5warl
their distinguished fellow citizen.

Augustus w. McCausland was born
in Gardiner, April 4, 1874. and is the
son of William II. and Eliza Derry
McCausland. He received his early
education in the public schools of Gar
diner, but his life was no more event
full than of any other boy of the
early sixties, until. almost coincident
with his 18th birthday came the start
ling news that Fort Sumpter had been
fred uron by the Rebels.
Had young McCausland had his way
he would have at once enlisted and
gone to the front, but the fact that
he was under age delayed his enlist
ment until July %. 1862. when he be-
came enrolled in the 10th Maine In
fantry.
The regiment rendeZVouSed at Au-
gusta, and had its camp at the south
of the State House. 1t was mus

States on the 14th of August and on

blazed there.
DROBABLY you think I
: should have cut in and
forced Moran to return the
guns. That would have been
my cue in melodrama; but l
was building bridges and bulk
heading sands, not playing at
heroics and lambasting Philis-
tines with jawbones or jaw
music.
Then, when l got out on
the platform, Moran and his
bunch were fast disappearing
through the swinging doors
of The Parlor, and the boy
was still hudd1ed in his clutter
of strange gear looking af-
ter them. When / spoke, he
started and searched me with
his big eyes for friend or foe.
But when l picked him up,
grip and all, lifted him into
the seat of my blackboard,
and cushioned his back, he
turned on me as rare and
comely a smile as ever shone
in human countenance.
Mean sort of trick they
played you, young 'un,' l
said as the ponies trotted up
the trail to my headquarters:
but whatever were YOU do
