To Attack the Rebel Army.

During the Civil War and on the eve
ming previous to one of the great bat
ties Of that time, General Thomas W.
Hyde of Bath was seated in his tent,
writing letters home He had given his
watch into the keeping of a friend who
was not to be in the morrow's engage
ment, as the General knew that the &C
ton was to be a serious engagement
and ne might not come out alive.
While engaged in writing, a fellow
citizen from Bath, who in some manner
had come through the lines, appeared
on the scene. To Boze, as he may be
called, although that was not his name,
he explained the situation; how the
army was to be drawn up in Echeon
and just how the enemy was to be at
tackled upon the following day. Boze
listened attentively and left the Cen
eral to finish his writing. When Gen.
Hyde had concluded his letter, he went
out and looked for Boze.-
That gentleman, whose weakness
was great fondness for Intoxicating
drink, had found among the soldiers a
supply of the ardent and had imbibed
te excess. He was found by Gen. Hyde
at a deserted camp fire standing over it
and talking to himself. The General
softly approached and listened. Boze
was saying.
I am Boze-from the City Of Bath.
Mainc. l am to go into action tomor-
row. AT the break of day I attack the
rebel army in the form of a ftying
wedge!"

An III Wind Blows Good.

A gentleman from a neighborine
town came into Augusta on the elec-
tries. Friday. He was in keeping with
the season-happy He had just receiv-
ed returns from a large lot of apples
and the price was pleasing. He climb
ed from the car at the Post Office and,
as he was crossing the street, thought:
Now I have had good fortune, l will
share it with some one not so fortu-
nate; I will buy a good dinner fol
some poor family-the Salvation Army
will know who and where
Our friend, with his heart full OF
Christmas cheer, felt for his pocket
book and it was gone. He searched
every pocket but his money-more than
s5o-had disappeared. 1t might have
slipped from his pocket on the car SC
be hurried after and caught it far ur
the street.
We will not attempt a climax but
will say that our friend found his
pocket book and money, and, being
twice glad, we more than half suspect
he might have slipped in the price oil
two dinners.
Some of the ways of Providence are
beyond human grasp.

step is made in the right direction
when it is made plain to the proper
tied class that it is dangerous for
them to resist reasonable change, and
that when they are parties to the for
eible overturn Of constitutional gov

the unpropertied class into imitation.
Events in Mexico are most instructive
and show again how impossible it Is
for reactionary government to es-
tablish peace. Only liberal and pro-

Will Wilson sisn9
tBoston Journal.)


When President Taft vetoed an
immigration bill based on the literacy
test he did a wise thing and one
for which he deserves eternal
credit. 1t is now the purpose of the
Democratic Congress. representing
party that, in the North, at least, Is
made up largely of those whose an
cestors would not have been admitted
to this country under such test, to
present substantially the same immi-
grafton bill to President Wilson for
his signature, and it is not improb-
able that the putatiye author OF
THE New FREEDOM will sign it.
Will the sons and grandsons OF
immigrants who are leaders of the
Democratic party in Massachusetts
use their influence now and in the
near future to prevent the bill from
becoming a law? They will not.
They protested loudly against the bill
that Taft vetoed, but today their
hands are tied and they are tongue
tied. They are looking for federal
patronage from the man who should
veto such a measure. They will not
dare to do aught that would be Of
fensive to him or to his administra-
ton.
And yet the literacy test is all
wrong, and is known to be wrong by
those who, for reason which they
dare not avow, are graphing with the
subject of immigration in an unset
entific and an unwholesoine manner.
