Mem orlcs OF the Past.

a ACODtTlDuuOT tOJIle NdStlNiiie hWteTCuH
who objects very greatly to having the
Confederate veterans meet in Mobile
next year says that If they assemble
as great a crowd there as they have
just brought to Memphis for the reunion
Of 1909 the veterans will have to sleep
in the marshes or in hunks on the bay"
We did not know that the entertaining
capacity of Memphis was so much
greater than that of Mobile. We are not
quite sure of it yet. If the veterans will
next year cut out the youthful orators,
the militia functionaries plastered all
over with peaceful decorations, and a
following of hysterical women, Mobile
will take care of the remainder in great
style and comfort. Certainly in Mobile
the visitors will be we'll fed at least, and
IL the occasion is limited to the legiti-
mate and the duly qualified there will
be room for all. In fact there will be
room to spare.
Further along in this contributors
innocent harangue we find another rea-
son for the objection to Mobile, namely,
that the veterans have decided not to
hold an annual reunion twice consecu-
lively in the same State, and as the
grand celebration OF the fiftieth ami
versary OF the Inauguration of JErFER-
son DAVIS as President Of the Confed-
eracy" has been fixed for Montgomery
in 1911 it is manifestly improper to have
the 1910 celebration in Mobile. 1t might
be said that if Mobile is not big enough
10 accommodate the crowd one year,
Montgomery, mere village in compari-
son, will vanish into futility the next;
but logic is not what we are looking for
perhaps, and 80 we let that pass.
We hope, however, it is not too late
to suggest that if these annually dwin-
ding assemblies of the Confederate vet
Grams could be divested OF the swarms
OF volunteer politicians OF both sexes
that have come to beset them in increas-
ing numbers of late years, not only Mo-
bile but Montgomery and even smaller
towns would be found more than equal
to the strain upon their bospitalities.
These old men in gray are mighty fine
specimens of Americanism, and the
things they celebrate touch every honest
heart; but the whole country, and the
South especially, could do without their
retinue OF half-fedged youngsters and
foolish women, and the tax upon enter
tanning communities would be corre-
spondingly reduced.
We throw this out as mere sugges-
ton. The Confederate veterans are
steadily reducing their ranks. No one
begrudges them their honorable memoir
les and their gregarious instincts. II
they could be left to themselves and
freed from the attentions OF pert vocifer-
ators who know nothing about them
and seek only to exploit themselves the
country would be better qualified to
appreciate pathetic disintegration and
to attach to it sympathetic value.

playing in New York. He had always

in Alaska with Rex Beach: he rode the

and he could follow a trail like an In

take I'D sparring as pastime stone was
ready with his usual enthusiasm.
He started boxing with the big tighter.
and within a month he could make COR
bett do fancy steps around the ring.
Corbett said one night at the Athletic
Club In New York that Fred Stone could
make him take more counts in the ring
than any other man he had ever Fought.
He credited Stone with phenomenal root
work, as those who have seen his dane
ing will testify.

CORBETTS OPINION OF FRED
STONE.-"There are fewer good fighters
in the country than there are good come
dams" said James J. Corbett who is more
or less of both. recently, land If Fred Stone
would take my advice he'd break records
getting out of the acting game and into
the fighting one. If Stone, who used to
be my Sparring partner, had followed the
game he would have reached the cham
pionship of America class within a Short
er time than it has taken any other man
to win IT. He is the quickest man on
his feet / ever boxed with. and he thinks
faster than he works, and that's what
most fighters don't do
Few people appreciate the fact that
when they see Fred Stone do some of his
contortions and weird dance steps in
THE Old Town they are watching a
