Washington, D. c., May Ex-senator
w. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, is
being hard put to it these days to live
up to his reputation as the most expert
''6xer" who has invaded the United
States senate in many years.
lnasmuch as the junior senator from
the old Bay State has not had that
length of service which entities him to
actual leadership, he, is more than glad
to assume the duties of whip, paci6ca-

party in the upper branch of congress

PROVED HIS BRAVERY.
How q New Hampshire Lad Resented
Epithet Of Coward"

How q New Hampshire Lad Resented
Epithet Of "coward."
A Washington newspaper man, one
Of the few survivors of the Fifty-ninth
Massachusetts, regiment, recently told
this story:
"A young New Hampshire lad Of
sixteen, Sumner Elliott, was a men,
Der Of Company I, my company. In
some way a companion had been NOV
ed to call him coward at Spottsyl-
vania. The epithet was undeserved,
for Elliott was u brave boy. He
thrashed the man who called him a
coward. but the insult ranked. On
the march to North Anna river he
brooded over it. We led the corps
across the river and advanced on the
enemy. A rattling musketry fire was
dotting the ground with our dead and
wounded.
"Presently young Elliott sprang
he waved his musket over his head
he shouted out in broad New England
accent:
"'Sergeant Merlin, am a coward?
1.-THE enemy opened a masked bat
terry full on our front and under q
thousand yards from their line. The
guns We're loaded to the muzzles with
grape and canister, and as the sward
we were tripping over was perfectly
level great gaps were made in our
ranks Nevertheless we rushed on,
cheering, Sumner we'll in the lead.
Presently he went down, full length,
and as we swept over him the gallant
lad was still family shouting:
"'Sergeant Merlin, am I Cow
a-r-d?'
His kneecap had been broken with
a grapeshot, and when subsequently
removed to the field hospital our first
sergeant, John H. Merlin, managed to
visit him. As the poor boy, laid out
on the rude operating table, grasped
the sergeant's hand he family NUT
tered, Sergeant Merlin, am a
coward?

in that predicament during the general

conclusion that Mr.. Payne's conscience

Mr.. Payne has been hearing a lot
about the iniquities of the tariff law for

A veteran Of the civil war was asked
If he felt that interest in Memorial
day was dying. He answered the
question with question:
'sYou will die, won't you? Nothing
lasts. forever. It's natural that this
change should come"
''Then you aren't indignant that a
feeling of Indifference should be man.
ifested by younger generation?"
The old soldier said:
mo Why should be? I don't
care a fig. Talking about the war
won't make heroes. I dare say If
there was an occasion for it the
young men of today would make as
good a record as they made forty
years ago. But you can't expect
young people today to feel about the
war the way we older fellows do.
They aren't close enough to it.
II know that's so, because when I
was a boy was just about as far
away from the war Of 1912 as you
are from the civil war, and I know
people didn't take any account Of it.
It's just as we'll, it seems to me. War
is bad remedy-necessary some
times, but bad, all the same.
NATURALLY l don't like to see the
observance Of Memorial day becom-
ing more slack. 1t is an indication Of
the advance Of time-nothing more.
You can't say it shows deficient pa
triotism, for it's simply human ma
ture, and can't see that we're any
different from what we've ever been.
"People aren't any more selfish than
they ever were. 1t seems to me that
they are just the same. The old SOL
diers have had a good deal done for
them."-New York Evening Post.

DECREASING THE COST.

The farmer is not entirely in sym
parhy with the plan for decreasing the
cost of living by supplying more prod
ucts and thus cheapening the price.
I Naturally he hates to give up good
thing when he has it. We all do. He
argues that he can raise fifty bushels
| OF corn to the acre to sell at 70 cents
I a hushel easier and more proftably
than 100 bushels 10 sell at 80 to 40
cents. And in the matter of personal
gain it is too much TO expect in this
age that he is to voluntarily agree and
assist toward modification of his own
bank account. Nobody else does. Why
should he?
Indeed the decrease in the supply of
meat production has had much TO do
with high prices. There is a decrease of
meat producing animals of over 6,o00,-
900. Upon the decrease is surplus de-
mand caused by public works under

were alive with prairie chickens. Land
seekers drove over the nests and stir
