Shiloh as a Battle Of Chances.

In summing up the battle Of Shiloh
IL Is apparent that chance played the
mot important part In IL. The chance
tha, delayed Buell. in the first days
fight. the chance that put him on the
scene in time 10 snatch victory from
defeat. the chance that delayed John
ston on the first day, the chance that
Grant took when he did not intrench,
ths chance that led Grant to recall
Wallace from going blindly into what
would have been the most important
position on the field, and the chance
that struck down the only man who
had a clear conception of the situation
Johnston. Clearly Il was a battle
OF chances. Yet there was another
chance. The golden opportunity the
Union troops neglected by not press
ing on after the retiring Confeder-
ates.

is perfectly natural of course, that
there should be a number of New
York men who were in the front ranks
in forcing the famous Confederate re-
treat at Antietam. An interesting
page in the stirring history of this
great battle is supplied by John Kel-
ley, ex-commander of Farragut post:
I'VE started the attack at daybreak,"
said Mr.. Kelley, in recalling the de-
cisive day. The resistance offered
by the Confederates was amazingly
stubborn. The proportion OF fatalities
in the next few hours on both sides
was appalling The fight went on
without interruption for five long
hours. Then came the retreat and
our decisive victory. We read about
the enemy's retreating in good order.
but my experience does not supply
any illustrations; certainly nothing
of this sort was seen at Anietam.
when the break came II was all
one wild desperate scramble In the
picture books the troops may retire
in regular column formation, with
every line straight and all the flags
flying, but in actual warfare it Is very
different. Our fire was withering, and
the Confederates ran for their lives
We had come so close together by the
end Of the five hours engagement that
in many places 1t amounted to a hand
to-hand conflict. The enemy ran,
jumping, stumbling over their dead
and the earthworks they had defended
a few hours before And We followed
them so closely that in many places
the two lines intermingled. We ran
shouting, stumbling, over the rough
ground in long struggling line, with
the careful alignment OF our parades
all forgotten. II was a glorious vic
tory, but the field looked very little
like the conventional pictures Of the
story books. New York Herald.

to go through her purse any time
and help himself 10 anything he can
find. That is what married life means.
A man should not allow his feelings
TO be hurt when his wife runs across

he ought TO play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for
granted.

1T HE American people honor

" E,b and those who fell in what
ON will ever be for this nation
SNONT the Great War.
~ The story of this war
will never grow old while
the republic endures. Since the last
shot was fired a new generation has
arisen and another is rising. Yet the
boy Of fourteen today is as keen TO
read and speak Of the Great Civil War,
as was his father twenty-five or thirty
years ago
1t was different from other wars II
was not fought for land or room or
TO reach the sea, nor for an interna,
tional position. Much less was 1t
fought for a dynasty or a personality,
or against any of these.
The American Civil war presents
the unique spectacle Of a conflict ar
raging a whole nation in arms for
ideas-for principles so firmly held
that both sides were ready TO die for
them. II was the trial OF the issue
between conflicting ideas OF society
and government before the tribunal Of
the God Of Battles.
IL was waged on both sides with
zeal born of absolute conviction in
the righteousness Of the cause. II was
waged until the victors had well-nigh
exterminated their opponents, as the
scars Of the south after nearly half
a century still bear witness. And It
was the final Civil war for the Ameri-
can people They may disagree, and
disorderly factions may rise in arms.
Bus never again can they be so divid-
ed as they were then. In a furnace
heat that tested human will 10 the
limit OF endurance has been welded
their national unity.
The character OF the conflict whose
glory and whose sorrow II recalls is
what makes our Memorial day fest-
val unknown 10 other nations. On
this day We honor, as we should the
memory OF the brave in all the repub-
lies wars. But we also celebrate as
that which gives to the day it's unique
and distinguishing significance and
that which sets US apart from all 9th.
or peoples the Great War that in very
deed truly made as well as saved the

Observing
The Day

The city is deserted, Sunday quiet regns,
The thoroughfares are silent ways OF peace;
Today fight no battles for losses for gains,
Today they bid all business to
The banners futter idly upon the gentle air
The doors closed, se shops are hushed and dim
II almost the breezes with tender bear
The cadence of low memorial hymn.
Come let seek the people let join in the thOng
That pays its gracious tribute 30 the dead
Here in this great pavilion-Is this nations song7
Nay, they shouting: 'Line it outl" instead.
Ten thousand folk assembledo how such sights nsprei
But wait. They cheer fallen heroes fame.
They're the pitcher send they
And win or lose doubleheader game.
And we hear trumpets sounding forth the tune.
And how vast and mighty the multitude that comes
To join the throng that's here this afternoon
what's this? swchbaok railway dance
And some one throwing balls TO hit a mark
This is no celebration; that at glance

All here-this loaded Wen climb 20
With all these passengers, for they no doubt
Are headed for meeting that is designed 10 show
patriots such days should turn out.
But they all have baskets let's ask them what they do
It's picnic party on its way
To chase the greasy piggy and stherwse pursue
The airy flight of pleasure for the day
And a crowd goes fishing and all along this road
The autos speed with putting and with toot-
Each oveIcrowded with such jolly load
OF people who at poor pedestrians hoot.

They walk with downcast until thinks
At last the true observers of this day he has

The city is deserted; Sunday quiet broods

All pauses here and there wreath to lay
Upon mound where slumbes some hero calm and still
