OF Friends, or Quakers, established
their mission in 1884, but the building

the town Of Merriam, on the farm
now owned by Mrs. Emily Loomis.

HINGTON.-Leut.-Gen Nelson A. Miles comes
to Washington at intervals to visit his son, Lieut..
Sherman Miles, who is stationed at Fort Myer,
just across the Potomac. Gen. Miles does not
show his years. He-was in the capital when
Mr. Roosevelt made his 1O0mile ride and he was
deeply interested in the performance
Just before Lieut-Gen. Nelson Appleton Miles
retired from active service he rode horse 80
miles in nine hours. 1t is more than barely pos
sible that Gen. Miles did this thing in order to
show that at "a he still fit to do something

cellorsville that Miles received the wound that
the surgeon said would kill him. He fooled
the surgeons, got we'll and received medal of
honor from congress for conspicuous gallantry
on the field of BATTLE and with the medal came
a commission which gave him the right to
wear star in his shoulder knot.
On that day at charlottesville, Miles was
holding line of abattis and rifle pits against
a tremendous force of the enemy. He was in
command of the skirmish line in front of the
first division of the Second Army CORPS In
order to hearten his Miles constantly ex-
posed himself to the fire of the enemy He
stood upright in the open, courting bullets and
possible death. The confederates couldn't hit
him for long time. The inspiration of his
conduct enabled his men to hold their ground
long after it seemed certain that the enemy
would drive them back. Finally a bullet
found it's mark and Miles went down with a
wound that ranged downward through his
body into his thigh, producing an injury that
made the surgeons say death" but neverthe-
less, death did not come. -s. -
At the battle of Fredericksburg, Miles was
shot in the throat. 1t was Jagged wound
that bled profusely and caused great pain. He
was ordered to go to the rear The order
came from superior, and so, soldierlike, Miles
obeyed, though he didn't want to go. At the
time of the Fredericksburg fight Miles already
had won considerable fame as soldier. He
was known to all the generals of the service.
While on his way to the hospital he came up
with Gen. Hancock.
Miles put his hand to his throat so that Han
cock wouldn't know he was wounded. At the
front was stone WALL behind which force
of the enemy was located. This force was do
ing great damage to the unionists. Miles
pointed to the wall and told Hancock that a
welldirected charge would take it, and then
he said: General, want to lead the charge"
Hancock knew courage when he saw it,
but he also knew wounded man when he
saw one. He made Miles 60 to the rear, be-
cause Of his condition, but he took good care
that his courage was made q matter Of
mention.

Miles career on the plains with more wonde
than they do his career in the war of secession
History has shown that some men lacking il
early military training spring full-fedged int
WarrlOrhOOd when the time offers. This has hell
to be true, however, only of certain kinds of war
fare. It was always supposed by the old reg
uars that soldier could make a successful
Indian fighter until he had been for years on
the plains and had learned the ways of the
savage. Miles went through six great Indian
campaigns, and carried every one of them to
success. He was of the greatest Indian
fighters of American history. @~@. :Hf-=5
Not many years after the civil war the Chey-
ennes, the Arapahoes, the Kiowas and the Co
mancnes formed league and raided the from
tier. Miles went after them. 1t was his first
great Indian engagement He completely
smashed the reds in a hard, driving fighting
campaign. He did that which was prophesied
he could not do and he did it so effectively
that these warlike plains Indians never again
took the warpath.
Later, Gen. Miles took up the trail of Sitting
Bull and Crazy Horse, with the Fifth infan-
try, and few companies of the Twenty-second
infantry. Crook and Terry had accomplished
comparatively nothing against the bands of
these chiefs, but Miles followed them relent-
lessly with his handful of men, fought them
v1ctoriously time after time, and finally cap-
tured 1000 of them and sent them into the
agencies.
It was Gen. Miles who overcame the great.
est Indian general who ever fought west of
the Mississippi river-Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces. 1t was Miles who broke Hhe power of
the Apaches, and it was Miles who made the
Bannocks and the Minneconjous sue for peace

peace on the frontier, and won his battle.

they were holding off an apparently ov-
erwhelming force, when bullet struck the
major-that was Youngs rank at the time
in the elbow, shattering the bone. He
kept on fighting but finally the surgeons
made him submit to st-aid-tO-the-i injured
treatment.
While they we're at it, the horses Of the
squadron, the men being dismounted stam-
peded and went through the line, doing
much damage with their heels. Wounded
as he was, Maj. Young succeeded in keep
ing up the heart of his troopers, who now
had no means of escape from the tremen-
dous force at their front, except their own
legs, and he succeeded in holding them to
their duty until they were enabled to draw
off in something like order. If one wishes
to get an idea of the hell of war let him
know that on that day the losses of Maj.
Young's command were 80 per cent. Of the
men engaged.
A writer in the Washington Herald some
time ago told a story of Gen. Young at the
time that he was in Germany, on assign
ment from the war department. to watch
the maneuvers of Kaiser Williams army.
1t seems that the general on his way to Ber-
lin had stopped for a day at Dresden, and
while there he was told that it would not

The general was startled by the sudden
ness of the attack and he blurted: "Oh, no,

This is the language Of a disan-

General Marcus J. Wright SAYS Of
him: In 1885 he was defeated for
congress. This preyed heavily upon
his spirits. He had tasted popular
favor and enjoyed high position and
was loath to give them up.'
He determined to leave Tennessee
and seek new fields in Texas. Some
verses Of his, the only ones he ever
wrote, show the condition Of his mind
at this time. He says:
Farewell to my country, [ fought

When the savage rushed forth like
Inc demons from hell.
In peace or in war I have stood bv

My country, for thee I have lived,

Something determines the individu-
atty and the vital spark presides over

everything to the terms Of chemistry,
and we get no forwarder; take
the molecule, then the atom, then
the lon-all theory, of course, but still
we find, no matter where we turn, or
what solutions we essay, the result
is that matter is simply unthinkable

Wherefore, why may we not Justly,
reasonably and reverently believe that
that Creator who gave to each Of us
a distinctive personality, made of each
one of us, whether by direct creation
or the process Of evolution, an indi-
vldual not like any other that ever
was or will be, has purpose which
does not ruthlessly disregard our long
ing, our suffering and our hope?
To the orthodox believer in a Hea-
ven and He'll, as definite and fixed
places, to one or the other of which
all must repair, it may seem strange
to debate the question of Immortality
at all. But the world is restless and
skeptical, and not one but many are
suffering because they must reject the
monstrous idea of eternal punishment,
they cannot believe all they have been
taught to believe, and, giving up a
part Of their older views, are literally
adrift upon troubled sea Of doubt.
Why may we not be at peace? What
an individual, or community or the
whole world believes cannot affect the
truth. In our ignorance, IN our help
lessness, we can but hope, and should
cling to whatsoever sweetness and
comfort it affords, knowing verify that
the power which created can re-create.
Unconscious, we keep no track Of
time. Between falling asleep and
waking, moments, hours or days may
elapse. The time asleep is, to us, as
though it had never been. The ele-
ments are indestructible, and when
those Of which our bodies are COM
posed are disunited, who may say in
what form they may not re-unite? Or
when? Flesh, as we now know it?
Spirit, as we sometimes dream it?
And how could we know whether we
were changed in the twinkling Of an

Neither in great deeds or works,
nor in offspring, is there an immor-
tality that satisfies the yearning of
the soul; for who may know whether
or not posterity will honor him9 And
children merely represent, they do not
duplicate, their parents.
And so, inseparable from the
thought Of Resurrection, a part of
Eastertide itself, is the hope that
somehow, somewhere, that which is
best in us will survive, that which is
so imperfect will yet attain perfec-
ton; that the old wounds will heal,
