Mountain Grove, June 2S.-Spe-
cial: Last Sunday we visited the

After recitations and quarterly re-
view the children secured a good
Bible talk by Rev. Robt, Cobb.
There was then recess for fifteen
minutes, when the school came to-
gether by singing, and was given q
nice treat in the way OF candy and
Ice lemonade, which they greatly en-
joyed., Then the good ladies spread
sumptuous dinner, to which the
whole crowd did ample justice, and
plenty was left.

Perhaps some members of the
younger generation passed him when
he occasionally came upon the street,
without knowing who he was. While
not AN old man, he was not, in
habits or temperament, of this time.
If the battles for the preservation
of the Southern Confederacy had
been fought In those times when
valiant and romantic deeds of men
gave voice to minstrelsy, none would
have been more inspiring than the
story, of John C. Haskell, the boy
officer, who rode to battle as hunts
men ride to hounds. At the first
alarm, the student, eighteen years
old. left the South Carolina College
and took the field as lieutenant of
artillery. While yet nineteen, Has
kell lost his right arm, reported back
for service before the wound was
fairly healed, was promoted to ma
j0r, had horse killed under him
at the battle of fredericksburg, and
was severely injured in the fall. But
he soon again returned from the hos
pital, and in February, 1863, when
twenty years and four months old,
commanded all the North Carolina
artillery. He was again severely
wounded-the last time In the head.
When twenty-five years and six
months old, John c. Haskell, who
had fougth for four years, and ridden
and fought for three Of those years
without his right arm, acting as
member of commission of which
General Lee was chief, surrendered
to the Federal Commander the artil-
lery of the Confederate army.
And because the cause for which
he fought was lost, and because he
was silent, the younger generation
passed by without knowing of that
romance of war, or the hero of it!
In 1876 the spirit that marked the
boy-offlcer of the Confederacy, defy
Ing and uncomfortable, was potent
factor in the redemption Of South
Carolina.
Col. Haskell was never an office
seeker. One of the country's most
truly gallant soldiers, it was abhor-
rent to him to consider his war rec
ord as thing for personal gain.
But he was for many years the head
Of the Richiand delegation, and one
of the leaders in the House of Rep
resentatives when that body contain
ed many strong and intellectual men.
Although not admitted to the bar
until thirteen years after the close
of the war, Col. Haskell quickly took
high position. His success in his
profession was the more marked be-
cause he was there. as in war and in
politics, not "pleader." He drove
home his arguments with the
strength of the law.
A man of deep thought, strong
convictions, and without heed of
policy" in their expression, Col.
Haskell had no place in the smaller
part Of Lifes drama. His was the
role of leader; the temperament of
leader. Other part he could not as
sumo. And without that tempera-
ment, without that strength of pur-
pose and Of opinion, and without
faith in himself, he could not have
played such knightly parts when the
stress Of times demanded MEN.

FOR THE BOYS ROOM

1 wonder how many mothers ever
plan economical ways of decorating the
boys room. So many mothers make
the mistake of thinking a boy isn't
particular about his room, and all that
is really necessary is a bed and chair
or two and some hooks for his clothes.
This Is wrong; a boy does think of his
room and enjoys pretty things as well
as a girl. He may not be able to de-
scribe these articles that give home
like appearance to his room, neither
can he take care of them, but he feels
their influence and appreciates them
just as much as girl does.
There are many little articles that
can be made at home that add much
to the beauty of the room. l made a
pedestal a desk and a window seat for
my brothers room, and the whole three
only cost me $1.05. 1 fastened these
together by means of table leg, had
three casters put on the bottom piece,
and with the aid of little varnlsh had
as pretty a pedestal as one could buy
in the stores for $3.50. They are very
handy in the sick room, and also make
excellent stands for lamps.
For the desk l selected box large
enough for three shelves. 1 nailed small
cleats to each side to support the
Shelves and placed them as far apart
as the ordinary book shelves. The third
shelf [ placed few lnches from the
top and had it more than twice as
large as the other two, as this had to
form the protruding part of the desk.
painted and vanished the whole
thing and then put a drape of cretonne
in front of the two lower shelves
For the window seat took box six
feet long and three feet wide and at
tached four casters to the four corners
/ padded the top with batting. then
covered it with cretonne the same as l
used for the desk. I divided the inside
of the box into two compartments, one
for shoes and such articles of clothing
as could be kept there properly; the
other was used as hamper for solled
clothes.
We kept the desk supplied with such
magazines as boy would care for.
We were we'll repaid for the trouble
we took in fixing the boys room little,
for he spent many hours there that
would have been spent otherwise If his
room had the cherries, lonely atmos-
phere that some boys rooms have.-M
