''The day is cold and dark and dreary,
And the snow is falling, never weary
so to speak. 1t takes me back to
the winters of 81 to '65, those
gloomy days on the picket out-posts
of the Army of Northern Virginia,
where General Lees veterans had to
face the storms of rain, sleet and
snow. as well as thunder and light
ming in summer.
Poor Conrad" was there doing
his duty to his country along with
the other ragged ones who made a
wall of their breasts between Grant S
host and the city of Richmond. l
will not dwell on war history; / want
to say something about matters and
times about home and friends whose
love and kindness will be remem-
bered by Poor Conrad as long as
his hearts blood is warm.
l had the great pleasure of meet
ing an estimable 'isdy from Sumter,
the widow of the late Mr. B G Pier
son. She was the daughter of the
late Mr. Samuel Burgess, of Bethel
section. Mr. Burgess was an elder in
Bethel congregation. Mr. Persons
father was the Presbyterian minis
ter that preached at Midway and
Bethel churches. He was pastor of
Midway for 40 years and after the
war when Bethel church was built
he preached at both churches. Mr.
Pierson was native of New Jersey
and a loyal Southerner. His sons,
BIG, Samuel and James, were veter-
ans of Lees army.
Tne old minister was a true SOL
dier and veteran Of the cross and
died the Christian soldiers death, a
death that will long be remembered
BY all who were present at Bethel
church on that day. Mr. Samuel Bur-
CESS, the old elder, usually sat on
one of the front seats and on that
day in particular he was to act a
hero's part. The congregation no.
ticed that the old minister was about
to break down; he looked up and
said, Help" Mr. Burgess leaped
over the seats and rushed up into the
pulpit in time for Mr. Pierson to fall
into his arms and die. My friends,
that was heart-melting scene. Mr.
Mccoy, the minister of the Brick
Church" in Sumter county, preached
the funeral sermon some time after,
and when he said the old soldier died

PALE AND S|CKLY
BOYS AND GIRLS

Youth is the time to lay the founds-
ton for health. Every boy and girl
should have plenty of pure, red blood
and strong nerves With thin, impure
blood, they start life with a handicap
too great TO win success and happiness.
Pure, red blood means healthful growth,
strong nerves, q clear brain and good
digestion. In word pure blood is the
foundation OF health.
The pale, irritable boy or girl, who
has no appetite or ambition, is sleep
less, always tired out, melancholy,
short of breath and who does not grow
strong, is the victim OF bloodlessness,
the greatest enemy OF youth.
There is just one thing to do for these
boys and girls--build up the blood with
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. You can't afford to experiment
with unproyen remedies. Through
neglect or wrong treatment an@mia
gradually develops into the pernicious
form which is incurable. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills work directly on the
blood, cleansing it and giving it just
the elements which it lacks. As the
pure blood goes everywhere, the entire
body, every nerve, muscle and tissue,
shares in the health-giving properties
of the pills.

is r. F. D, No. 2, Milan, Ohio, says:

New York, Oct ls.--The state rested
its case yesterday in the trial OF Charles
Becker on charges of instigating tn,
murder of Herman Rosenthal. The ease
for the defence will begin to-day.
John Mcintyre, Becker's chief attor.
uey, said last night that Becker is anx.
ious to take the stand and might be al
lowed to do so, although this has not
been decided.
The defence has indicated it will try
to prove that clique of gamblers in
spred the murder of Rosenthal, and that
Becker is the victim of conspiracy.
Becker last night expressed himself as
confident OF acquittal. He was in a
happy mood because his counsel won a
victory over the prosecution when Just
ice Coil granted a motion that there be
excluded all testimony tending to show
that Becker amassed fortune in graft
obtained from gamblers.
Justice Golf held that without proof
Becker's bank accounts represented the
proceeds OF graft, the evidence could not
show that they constituted a motive for
the killing of Rosenthal.
Mrs. Lillian Rosenberg, wife of Lefty
Louie, one of the gunner charged with
the actual Staying Of Rosenthal, appear
ed for the state yesterday. She denied
knowledge OF her husbands whereabouts
on the night of the murder, but gave
testimony corroborating some of the tes
timony previously given by Sam Schepps
and Jack Rose.
A sensation was created in the trial
of Lieut. Becker yesterday when John
i. Mcintyre, of counsel for the accused
lieutenant, demanded the commitment
to prison of states witness for self
confessed perjury. The electrifying
scene occurred when Max Margolles. |
p year-old youth, who styled himself a
"tipster," admitted that he had sworn |
to a false affidavit concerning pool |
room in West Thirty seventh street, |
which was raided by Becker.
Mr.. Mcintyre stigmatized the witness
IS stool-pigeon" and declared that on
he strength OF his admission he should
be remanded to the Tombs and his case
TO the grand jury for the
hiding of indictment.
Justice Coil declined to accede to the
demand, explaining that he had no jur-
sdiction to act, inasmuch as the per-
ury had not been committed in his
curt.
Two witnesses were called to show

a matter that should not be discussed.
Mr.. Cortelyou asserted that President

possible contributors. He said that he
himself had no objection to receiving
