feet high and the first floor nine feet.
Either a large or small basement can

Greater Part of Union Army Under

Greater Part Of Union Army Under
Twenty-one.
The records show that out Of the en-
tire number of enlistments during the
war on the Federal side 3,311,526 were
between the ages of eighteen and
twenty-one years.
There have been frequent claims made
by men In different sections Of the
country, each that he was the young
est soldier serving on the Union side In
the war Of the rebellion and In view
Of these many and vark assertions it
may be of interest to kn~ W what the
record Of ages of enlistm IDS was dur
ing the wal.
Here is a list of figures which Is ex-
tremely interesting. and, what Is more,
1t was obtained at the war department.
1t gives all the ages Of the different
men IN classes who enlisted from 1861
to 1865.
The number of enlistments at ten
years and under was 25, eleven years
and under 80, twelve years and under
225, thirteen years and under 300, four
teen years and under 1925, fifteen
years and under 104,987, sixteen years
and under 231,O51, seventeen years
and under 844,S91, eighteen years and
under 1,151, ABS, twenty-one years and
under 2,159, 79a twenty-five years and
older 618,511, twenty-five years and
older 1926 and forty-four years and
over 1901.
If the enlistments under the ages of
eighteen to t~wenty-one IN examined
it viii be found that the backbone of
the army lay there. OF course in the
younger ages, up to- say, sixteen, the
enlistments quoted were of drummer
boys and for other duties youngsters
Of this age could be put TO.

On every side In the Malay wfids
the traces of the beasts-which here
live as scheduled, as safe from moles-

Adamite days-are visible on tree

the yielding clay at the drinking
places by the hurrying stream. Here
a belt of mud nine feet from the

rubbed his itching back against the
rough bark of a tree, and, see, coarse
hairs are still sticking in the hardened
clay. There a long, sharp scratch re-
peated at regular intervals marks the

Swearing In the Cook.

The darby contrabands who fire.
quently strayed within the Union lines
were often very acceptable as serv'
ants, particularly as cooks The non.
commissioned officers frequently had q
heap Of sport with these unsophisticat
ed negroes. Occasionally there was
great formality in swearing In these
cooks. The drums would be sounded
OF the bugles blown, and amid much
impressive pomp the darby would as
sumo his new duties, having sworn tc
perform them properly, to support the
constitution of all the loyal states
clean the plates without wiping them
on his coat sleeve, solemnly swearing
to put milk IN the coffee every morn
ing and other like deeds.

Home manners between husband and

when they are i%ngrained. But his are
not. His wife when they are at the
theater together carries the opera

giles in and out of her coat by herself,
sits alone between acts, hands herself
into the street car by main force, jumps
off alone, while half the time he walks
a pace ahead of her instead of at her

He summons her by a gruff Come

which way he intends to go and signals
her with waves of his hand, like q

His wife suffers under such disre-

that city as a porter. He said that
when he asked Brown how early in
the morning he should come to work
the reply was, 1--WE usually begin work
at Z, but come earlier, for I want to
talk with you" He declared that
Brown was wont to talk by the hour
with white or black sympathizers.
1t made little difference how press
ing the business; the enthusiast was al
ways ready to call a halt when the OPP
~portunity to exploit his views present
ed itself. He preferred to do most of
the talking and appreciated a good lis
tener.
In the collated correspondence Of
Brown there are two later items hay
ing a distinct bearing upon this wool
working Springfield era. On the copy
Of Browns letter to his son John, as
given In DR.. G.. W. Browns book, ap

'This, I think, win be considered no

In the letter quoted In Frank B. San
born's book, under date of April 10,
1858, when he was rapidly nearing his
self imposed martyrdom, addressing
"dear wife and children, every one"
Brown speaks OF -the liabilfte I In

A Relic of
John Brown

N a very d~ilapidated condition-in
the midst of the accumulation of
old casting boxes and scrap lum-
Der In the yard of the Emery
company's copper smithy on Railroad
row, Springfield, Mass, now given over
to the tender care of rats and pigeons,
with an occasional tramp drifting IN as
an extra g-uest-stands the identical
warehouse used by John Brown and
his sons, John junior and Jason, be-
tween the years 1S47 and 1851.
John Brown had lived In Massachu-
sets before. He studied to be a min
lister In the family of Rev. Moses Hal
lock of Plainfield just before he reach
ed his majority In the winter Of 1919.
At that time he was described as
rather tall, sedate, dignifed," and he
was sent back to his fathers lanyard
In less than a year because Of inflam-
nation of the eyes.
In the warehouse John Brown work
ed daily with his men, some white and
some colored. sorting, CHASING and
transshipping wool. There (1S4S) Fred
erick Douglass called upon him and
twas surprised to find him In such a
small wooden house on a back street."
In that same year Brown. elated at
his successful sales, plunged" to the
extent of going to Europe to interview
English buyers. 1t is related that he
was phenomenally astute In grading
wool by the sense of touch. A half
dozen Englishmen met the Yankee
farmer and, having heard of his keen
ness in this particular, resolved to put
1t to the test. He was led into a dark
room in which three small sample
packets were lying. Brown instantly
detected which was Saxony, which
was from Ohio, but at the third he
hesitated a moment. Turning to the
jokers, he said, IF you have any sau-
sage machines in England that will
work up dogs hair, put this in it,"
The laugh was on his companions, for
they had indeed used the shearings
from a poodle to fool him.
Brown greatly endeared himself to
the blacks. In his Springfield ware
house he formed a lodge of Spring
field Gileadites," primarily aimed to
protect the negroes from gathering
trouble with the whites. Forty-four

GREW THIN ON RICE RATION.
Sherman's Yankees Found It Laborious

to Hull the Cereal.
A local veteran who accompanied
Sherman on his famous march to the
sea relates the following concerning
the brief starvation spell'' which the
men OF his army experienced on reach
ing Savannah and before communicate
ing with the feet: SHERMAN, you In
any provisions, depending on the coun-
try through which he passed for sub
~sistence. He was not hampered by
provision trains, and therefore the
march was and had to be rapid. We
foraged for a distance of twenty-five
miles on each side of the main col
umn, stripping the region through
which we passed of provisions, SO that
had we remained two days In one
place we would have been obliged to
go without food.
flying off the coast Of Georgia was
a large feet of ships loaded with pro-
visions for us when we reached the
sea, but at the same time those In
command were worried, for they did
not know what might happen to pre-
vent our getting into communication
with the fleet, and should this happen
we would simply have to starve. More
over, the feet did not know just what
part of the coast we would strike.
Well, finally we reached Savannah,
and then u troubles began. The city
was In possession of the Confederates
under General Hardee, but was SO sur
rounded by swamps that we could not
we halted just out Of Savannah,
pitched camp and waited.
Developments consisted In getting
into communication with the feet. A
detachment was sent down to the coast
for that purpose, and they had no diff
iculty In finding the fleet, but even
then we were no better off than be-
fore, for the reason that Fort Meal
lister, guarding the mouth of Broad
river, prevented the feet from coming
up that stream and effecting a landing.
This, however, did not last long. Cen
eral Hazen stormed and took this fort
from the land side, and then our
troubles were over, the ships of the
feet having everything that was need
ed in the way of provisions. But this,
you must remember, required nearly
two weeks, and to keep soul and body
together we had to subsist on the I'M
hulled or ~unthrashed rice that we
managed to gather from the fields
around the city. Those who have
never tried to hull rice cannot imagine
what a tedious, laborious and trouble
some job it is. 1t is done with a NOR
tar and pestle arrangement, and for
the mortar we used to hollow out
places In logs, using a club of gum
wood for a pestle. Thus equipped, we
were able to hull about enough rice
for n meal after some two or three
hours work. Some say rice is nutri-
tious, and doubtless 1t is good food
for Cinnamon and Japs, but I can
speak by the card and from experience
when I tell you that 1t is the poorest
white mans grub on earth.
"Every one Of us became as thin

had not received rations when we did
I feel pretty certain that many of us
would have taken sick."-Philadelphia

full attack upon Confederate positions
which baffled the advance of Thomas
troops.
The time was August, and the heavy,
sitting atmosphere inclined the men Of
both armies to suspend activity. The
stiffness of death reigned everywhere
except around the isolated battery on
the mountain top. There the gunners
moved with the grim energy of SOL
diers facing a crisis. Guns were
trained upon the most conspicuous and
vulnerable targets. Sherman and his
lieutenants stood apart, scanning with
heldglasses the camps where the shots
were to strike.
At last the signal was given. Bat
terymen went forward to pull the Ian
yards and send the shots home, when
attention was diverted by the soft
pealing tones Of a bell trembling on
the heavy air across the valley. Loud

The Unknown Dead.

Now many a soldier slumbers,
His resting place unknown;
His hands were crossed, his lids were
closed,
The dust was DER him strewn.
The drifting soil, the moldering leaf,
Along the sod were blown.
His mound has melted into earth;
His memory lives alone.
So let It live unfading,
The memory of the dead,
Long as the pale
Springs where their tears were shed.
Or raining In the summers wind.
In flakes of burning red,
The wild rose sprinkles with its leaves
The turf where once they bled.
