WASHINGTON LETTER

Senator Brady has been requested
by the American Cross of Honor to
ascertain and submit the names of
persons in Idaho who have rendered
heroic service in saving human life.
The American Cross of Honor is an
association, chartered by congress,
which bestows bronze crosses of
honor upon heroes who are not ELI
gible to recognition by the United
States government; heros who save
lives in great fires, in mine disas-
tiers, in storms, and who have pre-
vented death by drowning. The
society believes there are many I'M
rewarded heroes in Idaho, but it has
not the facility of ascertaining their
indemnity or learning of their deeds,
and it is for this reason Senator
Brady has been appealed to. The
senator is asked to submit the names
of those entitled to recognition.
When these names are supplied,
blank applications will be forwarded
to the candidates for the cross OF
honor, and these must be filled out,
and returned with affidavits of two
witnesses who saw the acts perform
ed for which recognition is proposed
to be granted Through the news
papers of Idaho Senator Brady hopes
to reach those citizens who the en-
titled to wear the bronze Cross of
Honor, either by their own applica-
ton, or through word from their
friends.
Leo PARKINSON, of Preston, Idaho,
"a member o fthe graduating class at
the West Point Military Academy, is
anxious to hold a commission in the
Idaho Volunteers, in the event war
is declared on Mexico, especially since
it has been announced by the war
department that the first classmen at
West Point will be graduated i'm
mediately in the event of open hos
tilities.
Senator Brady took the the request
to the secretary of war, and was in
formed that the first class at West
Point will be graduated and COM

26, 1914, of blood poison, Elizabth
E. Trefz, wife of Charles Trefz, Mrs
Trefz was born at Bison, Kansas,
January II, 1884. In her youth she
joined the church and was baptized
and enjoyed a bright Christian ex-
perience throughout her life. She
was married to Charles Trefz, Sep

Washington. They moved to Taber,
Idaho, less than year ago. She
leaves a husband, and baby twin
boys, Alvin and Melvin, born March
8, 1914; father, mother, four
brothers and two sisters. A host of
other relatives and friends to mourn
her loss.
The Fetters are broken her spirit
hath flown,
To yonder bright mansion on high;
The Lord in his wisdom hath gar
nered his own,
And taken her soul to the sky.
To that land of peace
Where all sorrow shall cease,
And friendship shall blossom for aye,
This fleeting of breath
We should never call death
The angles have called her away.
At mammon's proud alter she never
would kneel.
She craved neither fortune nor fame
But she was possessed of heart that
could feel,
A heart worthy of the name.
And now over there in that region so
fair
Her spirit abidith for aye:
Then why should we weep,
She is only asleep,
The angels have called her away.

came first, brigadier and then major
general. He continued active service
until 1869, when he was appointed
minister to Spain by President Grant.
Estrangement From Second Wife
At the court of Spain, Sickies' Wig
orous personality made him a domi-
mating figure. Four years of brilliant
diplomacy brought him the epithet Of
THE Yankee King of Spain" Here
he contracted his second marriage
with the beautiful and distinguished
Senorita Creagh. This romance was
followed by estrangement which was
to last more than quarter century.
In addition to this domestic trouble,
came his interference in the marriage
plans of his daughter to a penniless
Spanish nobleman. Father and
daughter separated in bitterness, the
latter to return to the United States
to die without reconciliation.
Returning alone to New York, Gem
eral Sickles again entered politics.
He served as sheriff of New York and
at 81 was reelected to congress.
General Sickles' life drew to close
with frequent romatic situations. He
faced bankruptcy proceedings in his
last years, though he had early in life
received large share of his fathers
SO, 100000 estate, but his estranged
wife and son came to his aid on sew
eral occasions.
His last days were spent at % Fifth
avenue, New York, surrounded by

BLACKFOOT TEACHERS FOR THE
YEAR 1914-15

Although the complete list of
teachers for the coming school year
has not been decided upon, we are
giving the names and approximate
positions in the Blackfoot schools.
The high school teachers are as
follows:
]. F. Lewis, principal; frankie
Lee Kinnard, German Latin; James
I. Crump, commercial; Helen Mig
hell, English; H. L. Beane, manual
training; Flora L. Southworth, do
mestic science; Lulah E. Smith, ele-
,cution and eight grade A class.
Central SCHOOL,: Anna B. Boyle,
principal; Mary O'Bourke, Gertrude
Johnson, department work for all
eighth B, seventh and sixth A pupils;
Hattie Pentz, fifth grade; Irene
Hatch, fourth grade; Kathryne Lynch,
second grade; Cassie Wright, first
grade; Mrs. N. M. Austin, first grade,
One of the primary grades will be
transferred to the high school build
ing SO as to make room for the extra
pupils in the departmental work, as
all of the seventh grade, all of the
eight B class and all of the sixth A
classes will be in the Central building
next year.
There are two teachers to be added
to this list by election at subsequent
meeting of the board, If the two al
ready elected do not accept the places
rendered them.
The departmental. work will be con-
Quoted along the lines of the popular
junior high school which has won
such favor in the eastern cities. This
will give wider opportunities for pre-.
pairing the pupils in these grades for
SPECIAL work in life as each can in
way take the work best adapted
to his needs
Irving school: Hazel Snyder
principal and sixth B grade; Leah
Graham, fifth grade; Victoria Bak.
KUN, fourth grade; Alba Quillin
third grade; Frances Bugbee, second
grade; Mrs. Lillian Woodruff, first
grade; Ethel Shuey, first grade.
1t seems certain that at least one
grade of the Irving school will be
divided next year as the classes are
now too large and another year will
add to these quite materially. This
arrangement leaves one room vacant
for the present so that the overflow
may be taken care of in this way.
Mrs. Smith by this plan becomes
a teacher at the high school building
and after the first semester she does
full high school work.
There is a plan to re-introduct
music in the grades for the coming
year by dropping one high schoo
teacher and using the music instruc
tor one half day in this department
and the rest of her time in grade
school music, orchestra and chorus
work.
The special teacher in penmanshiI

the past. Results have proven thii
work highly satisfactory.

THE BAKER ADDITION.

T. w. Wells was here from Baker,
Montana, Saturday, and arranged
with ]. H. Mcdonald to plat his
forty acres lying north of the fair
grounds and sell it in town lots on
easy payments. This will afford an
opportunity for some of our young
men to secure suburban homes that
will be right in town in. few years.

General Daniel Edgar Sickles was
the last of the great commanders who
fought the battle of Gettysburg. For
a decade he was a fighter by profess
sion-all his life he was fighter by
nature.
The gruff old warrior, with one leg
shot away in battle, his massive bead
resembling Bismark's was pictures
que figure as he hobbled along on
crutches during the last half century
of his life.
His indomitable fighting spirit re-
NAMED to the last. Born in New
York city in 1925, Sickles, at the age
of %. fought the wings as demo-
crat in the New York legislature. At
%, he displayed his fighting spirit
as corporation attorney of New York.
1t was he who secured for his city
it's great Central park. At this time
his military career began as major
of the Twelfth regiment, national
guard, New York.
Before he was 80 years old, Major
Sicvkles had served as secretary of le-
cation at London under Minister
James Buchanan; he had won state
senatorship through a bitter cam
paign; and he was seated in the
Thirty-fifth congress at Washington.
Killed U. S. District Attorney
1t was at this time that an event
occurred which became the sensation
of the day Sickles had begun his
second term as congressman in 1859
when the national capital was stirred
by the news that the young represent
alive from New York had shot and
killed Philip Barton Key, the United
States district attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Sickles. declared
that Key had misled Mrs. Sickles,
who was Therese Pagioli, daughter
of an Italian music teacher The
trial lasted 20 days, ending in the
acquittal of Sickles on the ground of
"unwritten law" He then took his
erring wife back.
81 am not aware of any statute or
code of morals, said Sickles to his
critics, which makes it Infamous to
forgive a woman. | can now see in
the almost universal denunciation
with which she is followed to my
threshold, the misery and peril from
which l have rescued the mother of
my daughter l shall strive to prove
to all that an erring wife and mother
may be forgiven and redeemed"
Mrs. Sickles died of broken heart
few years later.
Offers Services to Lincoln
At the outbreak of the civil war,
the young fighting politician, then SO
years old, went to Lincoln to offer
his services.
You have been a leader in New
York democratic politics." said the
president. IF you kept your end up
at that game surely you'll do to take
command of men in the field. Raise
your regiments and you shall be
brigadier general in command.
Sickles raised the famous Excelsior
brigade in New York, taking COM
mand of one of it's regiments as col
enel. Lincoln kept his word and in
1861 raised him to brigadier general.
His fighting spirit early won him his
spurs. On the Peninsula and at An
tietam he distinguished himself as a
soldier and leader. At Chancellors-
Vile he led a division. At Gettys-
burg he led the Third corps, lost a
leg, and became a national hero. At
81 years of age, he had risen from a
colonel to major general of volun-
teers.
After the war his fighting spirit led
