An Oif Romance.

Editor National Tribune: I was a
member of Co. 3, 10th Me-, which was
at Martinsburg. Va, from about De-
cember, 1861, to May %. 1852 While
there comrade, A. A. PIotner, Co. r,
4th Ohio. gave me the addresses of his
sister and n young lady friend of hers,
Miss Lena Sampsill, with whom I cor
responded. L also got the address of
Miss Susie r. Stetson. of Hanover.

until early in 1865, when she was mar
ried.

Miss, then to Champion Hills. and from
there TO Vicksburg. Next came the
raid from Vicksburg to Meridian and
back to Vicksburg We then went up
the Mississippi River TO Cairo. and went
home on 30-days' veteran furlough.
From Cairo we started for the Atlanta
campaign and took part in all that
fighting. after which we made the
march TO the sea and thru the Caro-

we marched TO Washington and took
part in the Grand Review. After this

defeated for election by a Democrat.
Then. at the election a year ago.
Charlie" Lands was overwhelmed by
the Democratic landslide in Hoosier-
dom.
1t was only a few years prior to that
that the Clayton brothers were in the
House together. Both were Democrats,
but they served from different States.
One was Representative Henry D. Clay
ton, of the Third Alabama District, who
was permanent Chairman of the Den
yer National Convention of 1908, and
who is quite prominent figure in Ma
tional Democratic politics. He is still
a member of the House, and this week
married a beautiful Kentucky woman.
His brother, Bertram T. Clayton, who
was graduate at West Point, and
afterward resigned from the army, was
elected as a Democrat from a Brook
lyn district in the seth Congress, but
quit public life at the outbreak of the
Spanish war to become Captain of
Troop c, New York Volunteers. After
the Spanish war he entered the army
again. and is now Quartermaster. with
the rank of Major. He was recently
stationed in this city.
An instance of brothers serving in
the House together occurred with the
famous Washburn family of Maine, but
it was a long time ago. Cadwaller c.
'
gress from Wisconsin and served in
the House during the S4th, 35th, 36th,
10th and 41st Congresses as a Republic
can. He was a Brigadier-Gene dur
ing the civil war. His brother, Israel
Washburn, was elected to the House
from Maine, serving during the 3Sd,
34th, 35th and 36th Congresses, finally
resigning to become Governor of Maine.
There have been a few other cases,
but that of the WaShburn brothers
was the most conspicuous, because they
served so long in the House and be-
cause both were stalwart Republicans.
1t has quite often happened that both
father and son were members of the
the same time. The late Charles L.
Crisp, of Georgia, Speaker of the last
two Democratic Congresses, died in
October, 1896, and his son, Charles r.
Crisp, was elected to serve out the va
cancy. Representative Charles R.
Thomas, of New Berne. n. c., who has
been a member of the House for IL
years, points with filiaI pride to the
fact that his father, the late Judge
Charles r. Thomas. whose name he
bears. was a Democratic member of
the 42d and the 43d Congresses
There have been numerous cases like
that and also of other near kindred of
the same family being elected to the
House, and, for that matter, to the Sem
ate. Successful Congressional ambi-
tiOns seem to be concentrated in occa-
sional families.

Learn to Laugh.

Laughter is the best of all tonics.
Bacilli are humorless folk and hate
the physical constitution that is al
ways vibrating with the shocks of
fun. This is truism. but Serviceable
and likewise worth repeating are the
platitudes on laughter as the great
aseptic of the soul 1t is true there
are different kinds of laughter. and
some of them need formaldehyde.
There is a kind. too. that needs bicar-
Donate of soda as an antidote-an-
other that calls for lithia tablets. But
the right sort of laughter was stolen
from the gods by some wiser Prone
theus. and nothing can prevail against
it. In America there is plenty of
laughter. good. bad and Indifferent. but
mostly good. and much that is very
good. 1t is one of our greatest nation
al resources. May we conserve it al
ways. A people that laugh kindly
and often have not much to fear; a
people that laugh wisely. nothing
