est, OrlRntest ana most aml8ble
Of those whom God created to
cheer and to bless home, and 1
was reminded OF that pathetic
scene in hospit Al, in which q
worn and wasted soldier could
not in words express his thanks
to the miuisteriug angel who
had nursed him as tenderly and
devotedly as if she had been his
mother or his sister, but in the
tears, that coursed down his cheeks
was mirorred the gratitude of his
heart and he kissed her shadow
as it lell across his pillow.
1t is highly commendable in
your eminent townsman to turn
from his trying and exacting Of.
tcial duties to take part in this
sacred ceremonial, and with wise
words deduced from the lessons
taught by The war repeat to our
young friends what their honored
fathers did when fighting for con-
siitutional liberty: in defence OF
principles which ingrained in
their nature to uphold which Col. e.
Dixon Barnes, Col. Frank Cly-
burn and hundreds of other Lam
caster heroes, went grandly down
to death.
1t is hoped that other master
minds, men who though not old
enough to have been Confederate
soldiers, are in soul and In SYM
pathy With the men who wore
the gray, may tell sdmiring and
appreciative audiences-the spir-
tied youth of our loved land-of
the Importance Of familiarizing 9
themselves with the real issues
Involved IN the war between the
States: OF the righteousness OF
our cause and the rectitude of
our leaders for after the passip g
of the men in gray they may be
called upon to answer false
charges made against the states
men and the military leaders OF
the old South whom we knew
to have been the wisest and the
worlhiest, the most conscientious
and chivalrous OF men In whom
we had implicit confidence. The
courage and constancy, the fear
lessness and tortitude of the sail
ors and the soldiers of the Con-
federacy have never been ques-
toned. Their indomitable fight
ing qualities is everywhere ac-
knowledged. Should i; ever be
disputed all chat our young
friends need say is that it took
four years TO subdue the South;
with a Federal force OF two and
a quarter millions, against seven
hundred thousand Conlederates.
These are Federal figures. The
pension building at Washington,
as some one has said, Is a monu.
meDt to Confederate valor. 1t
Is startling to contemplate that
the | nited States pension roll
amounts annually to $l50,000,.
600, and that the aggregate dis
6ursements IN pensions thus far
have been three and a half bill
lions OF dollars.

with prayer, and to the lnvOca-
ton 80 earnestly and eloquently
offered by one whose beneicent
life has been dedicated and is
devoted to the service of the Re-
deemer, our hearts responsively
throbbed. The handsome col.
umn on which we gaze is a me-
mortal of our love for the brave
and the true who fell on distant
fields, or who succumbed to
sickness, in homes Or in hospitals.
Heroes who died in defence of
the land in which they lived and
that they so devotedly loved. In
the erection of this monument
the people OF Lancaster had a
two-told object in view: 10 ex-
press their affection for, their
lasting remembrance of the pa
triot dead, sad to teach a les
son to the living; an affection as
deep and durable as ever pulsed
the heart lesson as storied
and grand as that which has been
transmitted by the immortal
three hundred who defended the
Pass at Thermopaylae.
This monument silently, yet
eloquentiy tells of the patriotism
OF the men of Lancaster. of their
heroism in facing danger and
defying death: of the inestimable
principles involved in the hal.
lowed cause which South Caro-
lima was the earliest to espouse.
Whilst it has not the grandeur
and magnifcence of the Acropo-
lis, or the Parthenon, at Athens,
which elected the admiration OF
the wmld, it is no less an object
to impress and to inspire the
/ youth with the lesson of liberty
it is intended to teach with the
lofty and sublime sentiments it
is sure to inculcate. Lessons
hich you, comrades, had im-
printed on your plastic breasts
in budding boyhood by the nobl-
est OF mothers and the best OF
fathers; sentiments that you

OF those days was the terror OF visit

and weedy, and back OF II was a high
fence. peculiarly constructed for ad-
yertising purposes Inside the fence
sloped at an angle OF about 65 de-
grees, being straight on the outer
side. Boston was playing there late

started TO run along IL, going higher
and higher, and just as the ball was
going over the fence. he caught IL.
His momentum carried him higher
along the incline. and before the big
crowd realized that he caught the ball.
he was running along the top OF the
fence. and then holding the ball aloft,
he plunged over and went outside the
grounds Probably never a baseball
player in the world received such a
rouslng ovation as he did when he
climbed over the fence and tossed the
ball to the infield."
