tanned sank to the bottom of the swollen
river; and from this point began the
fearful hardships and awful horrors of
the march through the submerged Wild
erness and binding snow storms. Wet,
muddy and ragged, as we'll as bruised
and shaken, this heroic army passed on
day by day towards the walled city of
Quebec. The cries of the sick and starry
ing soldiers, the roar of the storm as it
swept through the dark wilderness, sent
terror and dismay to the stoutest heart,
but Arnold with that courage which
never failed him pointed his sword to the
north and gave the word of command:
Forward, my brave men; we will live
to fight with Montgomery on the blood
stained plains of Abraham.
What hero! Was there any greater
since the world began? and to think that
this brave leader should later turn trait
or to his country. But let us draw the
curtain of charity over this rash act and
remember that,
"Hero motives. placed in judgments scale,
Outweigh all actions where the heart is
wrong"
My last visit to Flagstaff was only
three years before l left my home in
Maine for California. 1t was at the close
of beautiful June day. The song of
the hermit thrush was heard here and
there through the tall pine trees, and the
soft clouds were all aglow with radiant
colors in the sunset sky. Soon after tea,
+ or in early evening, took stroll up the
highway towards Eustis and along the
banks OF the still river. The moon came
up and everything lay bright and clear
under its rays. After walking short
! distance, sat down under big tree and
fell into deep meditation. All was still
save the song of the whippoorwill and
the stirring of the leaves in the tree tops
by the gentle night breezes. Oh, his
toric region, what memories stole Ger
my mind that night. 1t was nearly CEN
fury and half ago that Arnold led his
army of invasion through this far off
I wilderness and from this place on to
Quebec his soldiers suffered untold mis-
cries and hardships. Twenty-six years
/ later this brave man laid dying in Glou-
cester Place, London, at the close of a
beautiful summer day, the same military
uniform he wore at Saratoga wrapped
around his emaciated form and the sword
he waved so savagely above his head on
that famous battlefield laid peacefully
at his side. Hush! No hard words here,
for this is the death bed of great mill
tary hero. He places his trembling hand
on his sword and his mind turns back to
the bloody battlefield Of Saratoga; again
he Is astride his war horse riding to the
, front of the army, amidst shot and shell,
at critical period of the battle. The
ground trembles with the roar of the
conflict and with wild cheers for the
brave Arnold, he is turning his face to-
wards the army and in voice of thun-
der cries: "You who followed me through
the storm-swept wilderness to Quebec,
and all others, follow me now"
The world knows the rest. 1t is a
story to make every American heart
swell with pride at such bravery and
generalship-a story that will live for
ever on the pages of our history and in a
measure outlive the story of his cruel
wrongs by our early Congress and his
treason to his country.

BEST KNOWN COUGH REMEDY

For forty three years DR.. Kings New Dis
covery has been known throughout the world
as the most reliable cough remedy. Over
three million bottles were used last year.
Isn't this proof? 1t will get rid of your
cough, or we will refund your money j. j.
Owens, of Allendale, S. c., writes the way
hundreds of others have done: after twenty
years, find that DR.. Kings New Discovery is
the best remedy for coughs and colds that
have ever used" For coughs or colds and
all throat and lung troubles, it has no equal

Volumes have been written on the de-
cadence of American shipping, and 1t has
been part of the stock in trade of Demo-
cratic spellbinders and newspapers to at
tribute our loss Of the carrying trade,
and of our prestige on the ocean, to Re-
publican legislation, or lack of legisla-
ton. Free ships has been their sole
panacea, although it has been shown to
be of no avail as remedy, while work
ing evil in other directions. The follow
eng item from recent issue of The Ma
zine journalism unquestionable author
iIty, is Of interest in this connection:
There are twenty-six tank steamers of
the German American Petroleum Com
pany and two owned by the Pure Oil
Company, all under the German flag.
but owned by Americans, which are elig-
ible for American registry under the act
Of Congress of last March admitting GER
tain foreign-built vessels to come under
our flag. There are also sixteen other
tank steamers now under construction.
four of them being oil burners, that may
be brought in under our flag. No effort
has, however, thus far been made by the
owners of any of these vessels to take
advantage of this privilege, which is
proof conclusive that an American mer-
chant marine will never be built up by
the free ship policy.
In the preface to the second edition 1o
''Ships and Sailors of Old Salem" by
Ralph D. Payne, the cause of the deca.
sdence of our shipping is thus clearly and
eoncisely stated: 1T was not so much
the lack of subsidies and the lower cost
of foreign ships that drove the American
ensign from the high seas as the greater
attraction which drew capital and en-
'srgy to the task of building cities ant
railways and opening to civilization the
inland areas of the West" And further
whenever the United States shall real
ly desire to regain her proud place among
the maritime nations, the minds of hei
captains of industry will find a way t,
achieve it and her legislators will solv,
their share Of the problem. And ou
people will cease paying to English an,
German ship owners enough money il
freight and passage bills every year t,
defray the cost of building Panama ca
nal.

ing at her masthead?
In an article in the Saturday Evening
Post of March Sth entitled, 1.-The Missis-
sippi Monarch: King Cotton on His
Throne" it is said of the period immed-
lately following the Civil War: "The
mills of the world begged for cotton at
a dollar a pound" We believe this TO
be incorrect During the war, for a
short time, cotton may have command
ed that price, but not after peace had
peen declared and the rivers and ports of
the south were opened to commerce.
The present writer was in close touch
with the cotton business at New Orleans
in the winter of 1866, and later, and
that season cotton was selling at 40 to so
cents. Everybody was expecting it would
go to one dollar pound, and that belief
caused the loss of millions of dollars and
financial ruin of many firms and individ-
uals. During the war more or less cot
ton was raised in places remote from
hostihties, and which could not be mar
keted until the war had erded. Then it
was rushed to market Steamers came
TO New Orleans out of all the creeks
and bayous piled SO high with cotton
bales as almost to hide their smoke
stacks. The supply seemed inexhaust-
able, and the price steadily declined.
.
on an average of 40 cents pound until it
dropped to ten cents, and then went into
bankruptcy. The losses of one western
concern were said to have been over a
million dollars.
The writer in the Post speaks of what
he calls ''the crop and-credit system as
coming in after the war; but it ante
dates that era many years. The man
VINO financed the cotton planter in ante
bellum days was, known as a cotton
factor. He advanced money to the
planter to raise his crop, and the slaves
were part of his security for the loan.
When the cotton was shipped the planter
came to New Orleans with his family
settled with the factor, and had a good
time before returning to his plantation
to prepare for another crop. The capi-
tai Of the factor was invested practi-
cally all the tine and when the war
came and tie slaves were freed his Sc
curry and his money were both gone.
Out OF $500, 900 which had been advanced
to planters one factor was able to collect
after the war less than $1,000.

SAN FRANCISCO DOES BIG
THINGS IN BIG WAY

What it had to say ought to be
tremendously satisfactory. She
has shown that she can do big
things in a big way. And she has
done them in her own way-in a
San Francisco way-which is inn
mensely important to the coming
big event. 1t will be the greatest
exposition in history, and 1t prom
ises to be unique. and not to lose
in its imennsity the true flavor Of
our city.
San Francisco has a right to
more fiavors than any town in the
world. The Japanese decorations
in Union square were as native
and appropriate to her as though
the rectang1e had been set all
around with golden bears hanging
on to golden slaves. The orient
has poured the glamor of it's
beauty and art into her ports
since they were open as ports at
all. There Is nothing exotic about
oriental decorations and settings
in her squares and streets. She
has made them her own.
