\ WAY to Help.

Comrade John G.. Hart, of Granton,
Wis. is one of the "shut-ins" He is to-
tally blind, and hence is cut off from
much that would make time pass pleas
antly for even older comrades than
himself He was a member of the I4th
"a Cav. A short time ago he asked
thru The National Tribune that the
members of the 18th Cav write him.
and quite a number responded. and it
brought him the very greatest pleasure.
In writing Comrade j. j. McKenna, of
Lawton, Okla, he says: You can
scarcely imagine the pleasure it gave
me to receive your kind letter 1t was
the first that | have received from q
member of the regiment, except a few
from members of my own company. NV
health has never been good since the
war Comrade Hart has had a COM
plication of troubles. He began to lose
MS sight about 25 years ago, and tried
specialists all over the country. but to
no avail, and has been blind some 20
years. In his letter to Comrade Nc
kenna, who had described a recent trim
10 the old battle-ground, he says: Your
trip back to the old fighting ground
certainly must have been delightful, /
wish l could have been with Won, I
often think of what we went thru. and
OFTEN wonder that we came out alive"
Comrade Hart says that he loves to
dream of those three years spent in the
war. He says that he has a perfect
record OF what he passed thru in the 81
engagements of his regiment He draws
only Sl1 month pension, and it ought
TO be doubled according to his affiiction.
IL Will be doing a true Christian work
TO write to Comrade Hart, particularly
those veterans who were engaged in the
same battles that he was

Editor National Tribune: Please
give short history of the 7th Mich.
James o. Hall, Spring Arbor, Mich.
The 7th Mich, one of the lighting
regiments, was organized at Monroe,
Aug. %, 1861, and after serving out
two enlistments finally mustered out
July 5, 1865. 1t was commanded by
Coils. Ira A. Grosvenor, Henry Baxter,
Norman J. Hall, a West Point Man, and
Geo w. Lapoint, in succession. The
this most conspicuous achievement
was the crossing of the river at Fred
ericksburg, Dec. IL, 1862. Never was
more gallant deed performed. In
vain had the engineers tried to lay the
pontoon bridge, the fire from the sharp
shooters safely lodged in houses on the
opposite bank, compelling them to
abandon their work when two-thirds
completed. The heavy artillery fire
failed to dislodge the enemy, and the
7th Mich. volunteered to cross and ac-
complish this if possible. Crossing in
empty pontoons in the face of the ene-
my's fire they gained the shore in safe
ty and drove the enemy from the
houses and rifle pits. The move was
made so quickly and boldly that the
regiment met with no loss worth mem
tioning. In the bloodiest battle of the
war, Antietam, the regiment lost 80
killed, 17S wounded, and missing.
commanded the regiment at Gettys-
burg, was killed in that battle. The

THE NATIONAL TRBUNE WASHINGTON

that their wives and daughters may be
well dressed, calls to mind the notice
which, good businass as 4. ls seems IS
spring from the ever fertile brain Of
the Evil One himself. Heretofore about
the only place where a man wes safe
from the appeals for money from his
family was on the boundless deep, and
the short weeks rest from this of a
TRANSATLANTIC voyage has given many a
one courage to go on and meet the
heavy drains on his purse which he has
known only too well he would be called
upon to do on the other side. Now,
well-known London establishment, with
an enterprise worthy of New England
Yankee, has made contract with the
Cunard Line to furnish everything in

aces. Attractive models will walk the
decks In the most ravishing of sea-going
costumes. appear at dinner in the most
fetching of toilets, and hold receptions
in dreams that no woman could possi-
bly, resist. The ships wireless will
make 1t perfectly simple and easy to
order the duplicate OF any of these from
the Lonlon house. In addition to this
there will be daily exhibitions of dainty
underwear, and all the many delightful
and expensive accessories of a fash
ionable woman's toilet. Doesn't this
seem just a little too much? With no
possible means of escape, surrounded
on all sides by the "vasty deep" the
unfortunate owner of a fashionable wife
and daughter, with six days of that
complete idleness. which is Satan's most
jealous accomplice, before them, will
be, poor man, at their mercy. Fortu-
nately, this sort of thing will be con-
fined for the present, at least, to the
fast going steamers which the wealthy
class prefer, but, excellent business
venture as it will probably turn out to
be, it will undoubtedly not be long be-
fore all trans-ocean steamers will be
turned into department stores.

Pictures of Davis and Lee for the School

Editor National Tribune: The Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy presented re-
quest to the Tulsa School Board asking
that they be allowed to place in every
school room pictures of Jefferson Davis
and r. Z. Lee. Fairchild Post made a
committee. consisting Of Past Depart
ment Commander J. F. Ayers, Capt
Lindsey and Capt. Queery. to wait on
the School Board and protest against
the proposed action. When the COM
mittee met the Board it was informed
that the Board had already granted the
request. These pictures are to be hung
on the walls of the school and looked
upon as object-lessons of loyalty and
patriotism, to be absorbed by the minds
of the children and looked upon as
worthy examples from which to pat
tern. This is only one of many acts of
similar nature by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy. and yet they claim
to be a loyal organization.-J n. Jones,
