JAMES H. BATTEN.

lanes II. Batten has been call
ed the little giant with the big lee
tures. He is small in body but
large in brain capacity, and great
in courage. A man of intense
convictions, of indomitable en-
ergy, fearless in his advocacy OF
what he considers right and just,
Mr.. Batten commands the respect
and admiration of every man who
hears him. His sincerity and con-
sistency are so apparent, even in
his most radical utterances, that
even the men who disagree with
him give him the honor they
withhold from the trimmer whose
first thought is to give no offense.
Mr.. Batten's lectures are worth
the cost of time and price and his
appearance will be a real con-
tribution to the life and thought
Vt our community.

Ono OF the Jokes Of American his
tory IL that the FIRST band which IL
mentioned as being aboard An Ameri-
can warship was deliberately stolen
BY the commander Of the vessel who.
1t seems was mighty fond Of band
music. This was more than q century
ago. The oficer who boldly kidnapped
full-nedged band was Capt. Daniel
McNiell, and his good ship was the
corvette Boston. carrying twenty eight
guns. The Boston had put into an
Italian port for . brief stay. and .
band attached to one Of the regiments
stationed at that port came aboard to
give 4 concert. The Yankee captain
was SO fascinated with the music that
he forthwith tripped anchor. made all
sail and escaped to SEA with the pro
testing musicians. OF course there
was = big howl over the episode. and
the government Of the United States
had to hasten to disclaim all responsi-
bility and send the musicians back
home. The first real worthwhile band
In the American navy was likewise
captured, but the intrepid Decatur
came into possession Of this band
through the capture Of . British war
ship and then induced tho British mu.
sicians to enlist in his service. When
this band reached New York and
marched through the streets at the
head of q procession Of Yankee blue
jackets It created \ sensation.
The greatest latitude has always
been allowed In the matter OF the
uniforms worn by bandmen. Except
in the United States army and navy.
there are no rules or restrictions gov.
erning the sort OF costumes the must.
clans shall wear when on parade. and
our private bands have taken advan.
tage OF this license to bedeck them
selves in gorgeous attire. Red and
blue are the favorite colors for band
uniforms-always with as much gold
or silver lace or white braid rs the
bandmen can aford-but there are
some bands that In selecting design
for a uniform seem to have been
moved by desire to have 1t present
as many different colors as possible
Zouave and hussar uniforms have
proven popular with not a few bands,
and others manage to look very natty
in uniforms of white duck.
Perhaps the handsomest and showi'
est Of all band uniforms is that worn
on state occasions at the White House
by the Marine band. 1t consists OF
light blue trousers and brilliant red
coat, literally embellished with black
braid. = The mounted bands OF the
United States cavalry are novelty
and never fail to arouse wonder that
they can give a. good music as they
do, considering that each member.
even to the drummer. is mounted on
a prancing steed. In all bands the
drum major is the most gaudtly garoed
member OF that organization, and
wears a hat designed to make him ap'
pear about eight feet in height In the
eyes Of the small boys.
