Grecnville, tennessee, with his wife
and a large brood Of children.
Lem had ''houn' dawg" that he
set great Sore by, and he spent
most of his time lounging in a run
way waiting 70 shoot deer driven
in by old Bu;, or sprawling on the
bank of stream fishing. In that
way he was a good provider after
fashion, but not all the urging,
scolding. nagsing and demonstrating
of his shrcWish wife could drive
him to work.
Lem led the lazy life of Rip
Van Wrinkle until the outbreak of
the civil war. and then he joined
the Confederate army. At the end
of six months Lem was shot through
the right thigh. and it was long
before he was able to limp out of
the hospital and back to the regi-
ment. In the second year he was
shot in the left sholder, and wien
he returned to duty his left hand
was bent far back by shortened
tendon, but he was still able to
raise his rifle. Early in the fourth
year they got him agatha musket
ball through the body-but he was
back in the ranks long before the
fighting was ended. Everyone
wondered at LENS persistence in
sticking to the terrible trade of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling
down the street in Greenvillc one
mornig in juno, 1865, still pale and
weak from his latest wound, his
right leg short and wabbly, his
hand stiffly bent back.

WAL, Lem admitted without
enthusiasm. Il s'posc had to git

an we all had to go home"
But aren't you glad to be away
from the dangers of war;" why,

honest Lem--war hain't so bad.

LINCOLN N THE SWEATBOX

On one Of Mr.. Lincoln's ex-
cursions to Fortress Monroe on the
Hartford in 1868 his attention was
directed to a narrow door bound
with iron, the use of which he was
anxious to learn. What is this?"
he asked.
Oh, that is the sweatbox" was
the reply. at is used for re-
fractory and insubordinate seamen.
A man in there is subjected to
steam heat and has very little VEN
tilation. 1t generally brings him
to terms very quickly"
President Lincoln's curiosity was
aroused. This" he said to HIM
self lis treatment to which thous-
ands of American seamen are
probably subjected to every year.
Let me try it for myself and see
what it really is"
Taking off his hat for he was
several inches over six feet in height,
he entered the Enclosure, which
he found to be little more than
three feet in length or width. He
gave orders that at a signal from
him the door was to be Immediately
opened. 1t was then closed and the
steam turned on.
He had been inside hardly three
minutes when the signal was given.
President Lincoln had experienced
enough of what was them regarded
as necessary punishment for Ameri-
cansea men. There was very little
ventilation, and the short exposure
to the hot and humid air had almost
sulfocated him.
Turning to Secretary Welles of
the navy department the president
ordered that no such inclosure as
the sweatboX should ever after be
allowed on any vessel flying the
American flag.
1t was not an hour after this be-
fore every sailor on every ship in
Hampton Roads had heard of it.
The effect was most remarkable
on the older sailors, many of whom
had themselves experienced the
punishment of the sweatbox. Some
of them wept for joy.
But the good results of this act
Of President Lincoln were not
confined to the American navy.
Greeat Britain, France, Germany
and other European countries heard
the swcatbox had been abolished in
America as inhuman.
One and then another of these
nations fell into line and today the
sweatbox is not to be found on any
vessel flying the flag of civilized
nation.

Mr.. Claxton went into the army from

When peace came, the war with Mr..

Two Letters From China

Dallas, Tex, Nov 26, 1900.-First
Sergeant Chas. Famel, Company [,
Fourteenth United States Infantry,
writing to Captain Tom Meyers, of
the Dallas Fire Department, from
Pekin, China, under date of October
/, says:
After occupying the capital of
the Chinese Empire, we are ready to
start back to our old stamping
ground, the PHILIPPINE Islands. This
country is not fit for white people to
live in, and we soldiers can't see why
in thunder that band of so-called
missionaries don't stay at home and
mind their own business instead of
coming here and bringing the whole
world into bloody war.
when boy my mother used to
take me to church on Sunday and
never neglected to give me a penny
to drop in the missionary box I see
the fruits of it now
After writing two thousand words
of his experiences and observations
in China, Sergeant Famel closes his
letter (after giving the PHILIPPINE
Islands good "cussing") as follows:
'sBut we are starting again; desti-
nation, Manila. I wish the United
States would sell the islands and let
those 'niggers' do as they please. I
am inclined to believe that we will
be fighting there twenty years from
now if we keep them

ease, after reaching China.-St.

have to drink from a cup as you
would make a negro do. And when
we went into camp and brought in
our wounded comrades from the
battlefield they did not come near
nor offer any assistance whatever.
One had the gifted nerve to say they
had to do without milk and butter
two days while we poor beggars had
not had anything to eat for two days
or more. | want you to show this to
everybody, for I want them to know
the truth of the poor, suffering mis-
sionaries who are trying to civilize
the heather Chinese. I have written
the truth, the whole truth, and moth
ing but the truth, so help me God
So goodbye, and may you never be
sent as missionary to any heather

The following letter from Mr.. G.
w. Griggs, who was reared near
Boyce, now in the United States
army at Pekin, China, is given
space at his request. His stories of
the actions of missionaries in that
country appears overdrawn, and it is
hard to believe it true, yet it is from
an eyewitness whom we know to be
of good character, and his statement
is given for what it is worth.
The letter is as follows:
Pekin, China, Sept. 6.-Mr. and
Mrs. J. B. Griggs-Dear father and
mother: AS I have nothing else to
do today / will write to you. This
leaves me we'll. One thing I want to
tell you about is the missionaries in
China. They are a fake and no
"bloody good" You probably recol-
lect how they made up purses for the
poor, suffering missionaries in China,
and no doubt you have given money
to them. I would like to insult any
person who would ask me for one
lousy penny for them. Upon my
life / never was in as fine a house
as a China mission. And as to them
Christianizing the Chinese they need
to be civilized themselves. They all
have from twenty to thirty Chinese
slaves working for them and if the
poor beggar disobeys he is strapped
down and a cowhide is applied by
two strong bucks. That is how they
civilize and educate the heather
Chinee.
After fighting our way from Tien
Tsin, distance of 100 miles, and
losing half of our comrades to re-
lieve the poor, suffering missionaries
from being tortured by the heather
Chinese Boxers, our welcome from

of the nose and they would turn
their backs and say: "You dirty
looking pups for we were as dirty
