TRIAL OF CAPT. HENRY WIRZ

One of the most exciting trials brought about by the civil war was that of Captain Henry Wirz, who was the keeper of the confederate prison at Andersonville, Georgia It is difficult to find an impartial view
 on the subject. owing to the violent opinions of those in opposition in the great strife When the rebellion was over and the northern arms had won, Wirz was tried, convicted and executed. To show that the south believed him guiitless they erected to his memory, close by the scenes that brought about his trial, d monument.
 No viewpoint will be taken in this brief article as to whether he was
 guilty of the crimes charged against him, as testified by men of the | north, or whether he is entitled to the opinion of his friends in the south that he was ''judicially mur- dered" and died a martyr after con viction upon charges of which he was innocent The mere facts of the trial only will be touched upon. The people in the north were star tied when it became known that close to 13,00O had met their death as prisoners at Andersonville An l investigation must be made to see | if anything criminal had transpired, and naturally the government turned their attention upon the keeper, and AL old capital prison at Washington 1 The secretary of war. upon the rec

The Pig and the Dairy
By John F. McConaghy

TT HAS long ago been accepted as
an axiom "that the man who
follows the plow is the man who
feeds the world -; but development of
the last quarter century has made q
change in phraseolOgy and We now
amend by saying, ''the hand that
milks the COW is the hand that feeds
the world.' care not whether you
are in the dairy business as pro-
ducer Of cream or as a creamery man
ager, you must admit the hog to full
partnership with the COW in the sue
eessful conduct of your business This
statement requires no statistics to
prove its truth, and 1 have no inten-
ton Of burdening the reader s patience
with q vast array Of figures com
accuracy of some preconceived opinion.
The second-rate navigator, conscious of
his incompetence, is continually taking
his bearings, the incompetent carpen-
ter has his compass and square con
tinually in evidence, while the com
petent workman carries his measure
ments in his head and carries out his
design with accuracy and dispatch, and
for this reason l will as much as pos
sible eschew figures and deal with con-
crete facts.
It Is not necessary as is so often
done by thoughtless writers to make
extravagant claims as to the hog IS
ability to make livelihood by dig
ging fern and skunk cabbage roots,
and while engaged in such enterprise
he will also effeetually remove the
stumps off logged-off land. Nor will
his arduous labors in anywise affect
his profitable production of hams,
bacon and. lard. This and more is
regularly disbed up to the city dweller
and has gone so long unchallenged il

would, however, be waste Of time
to take up seriously the absurd claims
made by writers who should know bet

0NE-ARMED PLAYER IS STAR
Dick Hooper, With Texas University
Team, Makes Many Sensational
Catches in Outfield.

Texas university owns a baseball
player to whom a sensational one
handed catch" is a matter of daily
occurrence. To go further still, he
has never been known to use two
hands in catching a fly ball, and he
works in the outfield, too.
The reason is that he is a one-armed
player, and he's the star of the club,
at that. His name is Dick Hooper, and
he always plays center field for his
alma mater.
Hooper, who handles himself sur
prisingly well in the garden, is a won
der. He does not get away with the
real sensational runs or leaps into
the air, but he does get away with re-
markedly pretty fielding work. as a
fly is always certain when he can get
under it.
Hooper is a fair batter, also. 1t is
almost shame. according to the view
of the average fan, that the pitcher
| does not let up on this one-armed
man. But the pitchers have to watch
Dick closely. He gets hits unexpect-
eddy and Is known to do the least ex-
pected things. He is not a home run
hitter, but he is fairly reliable and
can make good use of bunting in sac
rificing.

just as Schang tried to touch Turner'S
hand with the ball, Terry slipped his
hand aside. Schang, instead of tag
