to Gen. o. o. Howard are made:
A slithering window-rattling gale was
blowing. Gen. Howard's Aids did not
for a moment think he would venture
to parade in such storm. They, how
ever, did not know their man, for on
calling him up at 1880 o'clock on the
phone, for his orders for the day, we
were Informed that there was no change
from the prearranged program for the
parade of the Grand Army veterans. of
which he was the commanding officer
and Grand Marshal. He was accord

Howard Is the last remaining one, he
said:
Capt. Phillips. if did not have a

Gen. Bell with my staff. I have been
in good many fights. and have been
whipped good many times, but have

means available of returning to his resi-
dence. That was by riding his horse
He and his Aids Joined the military pa

There passage was made for him, and

of military pomp was left behind.

whether the little girl had thought he
