The Care of the Feet
Every one RENE m bers the pathetic story
Of the poor man who sat disconsolately on
the curb Tor hours with his head in his hands.
Kind-hearted passersby tried to rouse him
and find out his trouble. Some asked him
il he wanted work or food, or this or that.
The result in every instance was the same
detected reply: No, my feet hurt an
want to 60 home"
1t strikes sympathetic chord the world
over. When your feet hurt, you have lost
your interest in everything. Sick all over,
you want to so home" and do nothing.
little consistent care with the proper
implements and lotions will keep the feet
in good condition all the time. Only then
can walking. outdoor sports. or life in any
phase be really enjoyed.

 I look upon the defeat of our troops on the Monongahela as a disgrace not to the officers and the men, who fought, as they always have and willy to the death-but to the general who through his obstinacy and incapacity led them into the trap which cost SO many valuable lives. All honor to the officers and soldiers who Tell on the occasion in the performance of their duty, and had monument been suggested to commemorate this great misfortune to our arms, would have gladly contributed, but a. monument to Gen. Braddock is what neither I nor any member of my family would sub scribe to as we look upon him as the destroyer of one of our most dis tinguished and revered ancestors.
 However, the erection of the monu- ment by the people of Uniontown is praiseworthy. It establishes among us in Western Pennsylvania a land mark which helps to visualize our be- ginnings and show us whence we iu- herit liberty. The people of our gis- ter community are to be congratulated on their effort and it's success.

RECALLING BRADDOCK
Memorial Now Marks Spot Where He Was Buried in Trail From the Mon
 Ongahela.
(Pttsburgh aazette-Timee

For historical reasons it is gratify- | ing that at last monument has been | erected commemorative of one of the
 tragic chapters of the making of this
 region what it is. Many attempts have
 failed to raise funds for a. monument
 on "Braddock's Field,' the scene of | the battle in which he and so many l other brave men lost their Iives-not l to honor the memory of Gen. Brad dock, but to mark the spot and be a
 memorial of the massacre. His burial place having been discovered, a park | has been made and a monument erect | ed by the people of UniontoWn which
 answers the purpose of the other me
 n1orial As to the quality of Gen. Braddock himself it may be said that 1 he was braYe-ts brave as any of the other men who fell. As to the rest there is not much to be said favorable
 to him. He hardly shines in history.
 An inherited contemporary opinion Of him is revealed in 8 letter which
 was written to a farmer editor of this
 paper in May, 1894, by a lineal de- ecendant of one of his officers, Colonel
 Sir Peter HaIkett, when an attempt
 was being made to popu1arize a move
 ment for a monument on the battle field. The letter-dated from Pitffr-
 anne, DunfermIine, ScotIand-in part
 follows, being given as item of mo- nnentary-and more than momentary- interest:
 I have all my life been brought up to consider Gen. Braddock the author of the disaster which led to the death Of my ancestor Sir Peter Halkett, and his son who perished with him, to- gether with the numerous officers and
 men who were also sacrificed owing to his gross incapacity.
 I have in my possession many let ters written after the action by off, cers who had escaped, addressed to Lady Emilia Halkett, the widow of Sir Peter, in which all the details Of the march to the Monongahela and the disaster which ensued are related. It appears that a council of war was held day two previous to the ac- ton, on which occasion Sir Peter Hal kett who commanded the Forty fourth Regim ent and who was one of the se- nior and most experienced of the ofh- l cers present, remonstrated with the | general on the careless manner in which the advance through the ene- my's country was being conducted; | there being no outlying pickets at i night, nor any advanced guards or scouts thrown out during the day. The | other officers present approved of Sir1 Peters suggestions that ordinary pre- l cautions should be taken, but the sez7- eraI flew into a rage and told Sir Pe- ter that "he was an old woman' etc, | which insult to an officer already dis ! tinguished in the field was resented by | all present.
 The march was accordingly resum- ed in the same way, and as your ac- count states, 'tBraddoclx was advanc- ing, unconscious of the force in his front" and 'tthe advance guard"- if there was one-''under Gage did not know of the concealed ravines"
 Thus the generals rash conduct led | to the surprise, but even then matters might have been retrieved if he had taken Sir Peter Halkett's advice to aI- low the men to get behind the trees |
