LAST SHOT IN CIVIL WAR.
lCnmmhns nisnatchl

| A man is still living in Columbus
who clans to have fired the last shot
of the war Of the rebellion--David n.
! Osyer lie was a member Of Company
! f., Ninth Ohio cavalry. on the morn
/ ing OF April ~, 1865, that command
was near Durham Station, N. c. II
was keeping close watch on Gen. Joe
! Wheoler's cavalry, which was on the
opposite side Of an extensive swamp.
Part of the union cavalry was ordered
to dismount and wade across the
swamp TO distract the confcderates
while the rest constructed a corduroy
bridge They used their carbincs so
vigorously that the confederates sur
missed that a very considerable force
was coming at them and the road
builders got along fine with their
bridge.
Near the other edge of the swamp
Osyer says a confederate bullet Just
clipped his scrgcant's Chevron and the
skin on his arm. Looking for the
source of the bullet he spicd the long
barrel Of a gun and the gray legs of a
confederate soldier in the forks of a
tree in front of him, and he fired at
them. He saw the legs withdraw and
the owner of them crawl slowly away.
Just then a flag Of truce came in
sight and the union men were ordered
to cease firing. The occurrence. Os-
yer said, did not impress him at the
time, but that flag of truce was really
the sign of the end Of the rebellion
for the general surrender came soon
and the troops were sent home.
a strange part OF the story is that
long after the war Osycr met at Birm-
tnghGm, Ala, man named Amos
Thompson, who was lame-said he
had been wounded in the confederate
service and. comparing notes, they es-
tablished TO the satisfaction Of both
that Thompson was the man who was
in the tree on the edge Of the Durham !
swamp back in 1865, had shot at Osyer |
and been shot in turn by him. Osycr's /
bullet struck Thompson in the knee I
and made him a cripple for life They /
agreed that they had fired the very .
last shot on each side in the civil war /

THE NEW "MAN'S WOMAN" IN
ENGLAND.

peggy Scott in London Mail)
All uncOnsciously man has caught
sight Of his new ideal as he hurried to
his work or about his work. He met
! her conducting omnibuses, he watched
| her working on the land, he wondered
at her scrubblng in the hospitals; in
a hundred war works she showed her
/ self capable, smart and self-saCrlfic-
| ing. She answered to his need Of
cheerfulness as the butterfly before
accompanied his strain Of frivOlity
She answered his cali for help in di-
rect contrast to the Little Bit Of
Fluff" which the wind blew away;
she inspired him to carry on when all
but hope had fled Suddenly he
thought: 1T would be shame not to
marry her" That thought was the
remnant Of the days when the butter
fly fluttered on his breast and he
thought needed only him to hold it.
still, lie knew it was unworthy Of
the new mans woman. It passed ass
a thought He fully realizes now that
he is the sutton.
What the new mans woman will
mean to the world is colossal.
Marriage will be begun on a new
basis Men and women will marry
because they want to do 80, not be-
cause the woman wants a home. The |
economic urge to marriage has been !
more powerful in modern times than |
all but the mothers and daughters
dreamed Girls have been faced by a I
choice work and loneliness; or mar I
rage and a good time. They have /
now discovered That neither is the /
reality.
They have ventured into the un-
known for the wars sake and found in
work, instead of loneliness, an absorb /
ing interest and a crowd of friends
They can afford to wait for marriage
now; and therefore they can afford toI
ask more Of it. Men will have to rise
TO a new standard, too Fortunately,
they have done SO already There is
to be feared Of the men who
have fought our battles.
For the future generations the pros
poet Is bright The new mans woman
is the biggest asset cugenics have had
since the registration Of births act.
may now look for an ideal
future; q world pooplod with super
men and superwomen. The men,
good bad and Indifferent, will no
longer be yoled to women beneath
hem in every way They will be
nitchod to a star
The home will be recognized, for the
women with brains viii be married in

If England have been run too long
Without brains, and so have the men !

WILSON'S INCONSISTENCIES

Tho chief attacks made upoi
Woodrow Wilson just now relate t'
his frequent change OF views on pub
lie questions President Wilson, o
Princeton university, Is being quoted
against Woodrow Wilson, president
Of the United states.
Not only President Wilson. the
democratic party Is showing decided
flexibillty and adaptibility Trad
tionally, the democratic party is COM
mitted TO strict construction of the
constitution, but practically, just as
the republicans have done time with
out number, 1t stretches the consti-
tuition whenever It finds that process
| better for the interests OF the cOun-
try
Historically. the democratic party
Is welded TO the states rights doc
trnc, but practically, It never has
hcsitoted to pass measures that would
limit the powers Of the states, II by
SO doing a worthy end could be bet
ter accomplished by the federal gov
eminent than by the states. So have
the republicans.
Theoretically the democratic party
always has been for a tariff for rev
cnuo only, but, fortunately for the
country, 1t never has passed a bill
that was true to that principle, and
on one occasion-as recently with the |
dye ndustry--'it has been frankly pro-
tectonist. Which means that it has
common sense. In it's flexibilty lies
the hope Of the democratic party.
Let us admit that Mr. Wilson has
been ever more flexible than his
party. lie has changed most Of the
views he held on public questions
while he was president OF Princeton.
That fact Is to his credit AS presi-
dent of the United states, he is in
. new environment, and his vision Is
Tar broader and clearer
He went into the white House with
strong views against preparedness
When he held that view most of US !

TINE PRESIDENT SCORES AGAIN

In his front porch speech TO tho
Ponnsylvanians the president scored
heavily saturday, when he said il
the republican "loaders are 80 stiff
TO see the Americans get their rights
everywhere. why DO these men vote
that Americans shall get their rights
nowhorc?' Just previously he had
referred TO the fact that a majority Of
the republicans IN the house of rep
rcscntativcs voted for the McLomoro
resolution, saying the republican
machine was able TO compel ma.
louty OF its members IN the house
Of representatives TO vote that Amer
lean citizens had no right to travel ON
the high seas" Further commenting
on that fact, he said zone of the
most regrettablo Incidents of Amer.
can history is that there should have
been found men IN tho congress OF
the United states willing to vote in
that sense"
The fact IS, nationally the rcpublt-
cans have placed themselves IN al
most unonvlablo light before the
American people. They fan to say
in what particular they would have
differed from the president In thol
conduct OF the foreign affairs of the
country 70 be sure, Mr. Hughes
says that If he had been president
he would have warned Germany that
diplomatic relations would have been
broken off If the Iusitaniu was at |
tackled without warning. But even
that effort at being specific got him
into trouble with his strongest news
paper supporter the New York Trib.
unc.
The Tribune SAYS that a threat Of
breaking Off diplomatic rolationsl
would not have prevented the Lust
tania massacre that Germany would
have had to understand that She
would have TO meet the power Of thu
United states IN war before she would
have desisted
From the time Mr.. Hughes was
nominated to the present he has only /,
in this one instance told what he
would have done had he been prcsi-
dent. and his strongest and ahlestI
newspaper supporter says II he had
done as he says he would he would I
have accomplished no more than was
accomplished by Wilson.
with the election three weeks off
The sentiment OF the country is turn
ing daily stronger toward woodrow
Wilson. When Hughes was nom
mated the probabilities were strongly
in his favor, because normally the
United states is republican by a huge
majority. But as the days pass. the
people have become more and more
Of the opinion that President Wilson
has managed the affairs Of the ma
ion with great ability, that he has
been faithful to his trust, that he ,
las been farseeing. and that he has
maintained the honor Of the country
nd al the same time has kept the A.,
ountry out Of war. +

OF Local Application.

In every community where a move
ment is made for public benefit, there
you will find a few "back-biters" who
never do and never will do anything
for the public benefit themselves, who
sit back and croak, charging the
pushers with having Interior selfish
motives who are trying to advance
their own business or political ends.
But if the world had stopped to listen
to the "croakers," there would have
been no advancement in the past, and
the town or community that stops to
listen to their disgruntled tales in this
day and generation will be found lag
ging way behind in the procession.
Pick out the men who are always
Kicking" about movements for COM
munity advancement and public bene-
fit, and you will invariably find that
they are men who never did anything
for anybody unless they got well paid
for it in dollars and cents, and that
they are wholly devoid Of public en-
terprise.-Browns Valley Tribune.

The EmpOria Secret.

There: is only one way to minimize.
the work of the knocker, and that is
to snub him. Knockers, like all men of
misery, love company, and the most
lonesome thing on earth is a knocker
with no one to knock to. A knocker
is harmless in himself, but he is a.
breeder Of more knockers. Snub him
to death; cut him cold, and he will
cease to knock, from sheer lonesome
ness. A knocker must tell his trou-
bles, or there is no fun in knocking.
The reason Emporia as town pros
pers, and is the best town of 10000
people in the world, is that the knock
er has to weep on his own bosom.
When man has to sob into his own
ear, he quits sobbing. That is the
Emporia secret.-Emporia, Kansas,

to ascertain the cost of fitting up club
rooms. The committee estimated the
cost at from $500 to $500, and E. K.
Evens was named committee of one
to ascertain if sufficient funds to start
with could be secured. Also if our
business men would pledge themselves
to pay annual dues sufficient to main
tain the club rooms. The cost after
the club rooms are equipped is no
small item, and it is doubtful if any,
thing is done in the matter.

Darwin and This War.

In his famous journal Darwin shows
that; he was impressed as much by
the moral aspects of an earthquake
as by the physical details which he
was studying:
"a bad earthquake at once destroys
our Oldest associations; the earth, the
very emblem of solidity, has moved
beneath our feet, like a thin crust
over fluid; lone second of time has
created in the mind a strange idea of
insecurity"
Are not the minds of many of us
exactly like that just now? And yet,
with all the destruction of what we
had been accustomed to-, with all the
dreadful novelty, one travelling in
Europe finds less sorrow than he ex-
poets. The loss of home is taken more
easily than we should think. Darwin
explains it:
'It was, however, extremely inter-
esting to observe how much more
active and cheerful all appeared than
could have been expected. It was
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1916-04-13

remarked with much truth that, from
the destruction being universal no one
individual was humbled more than an
other, or could suspect his friends of
coldness-that most grevious result
of loss of wealth."
Even when death is in question the
knowledge that all are losing brings
surprising calm. How much more
bearable destiny would be if we could
apply this principle in times of
peace,-using the ultimate certainty
of death to blunt the arrows that
hurt so much more than they would
if our imaginations were more Bonded
to the universal.-Harper's Weekly.

Show the Right Spirit.

Princeton is not large place, has
probably less than 1000 inhabitants,
but if it's citizens, especially the bust
ness men, pulled together much good
might be accomplished and the vii
lage would continue to at least hold
it's own.
If the fractional spirit, which has
recently manifested itself in virulent
form, continues to grow it requires no
prophet to foretell the result.
Get together; relegate the strife
breeders to the rear; improve the
streets; give the farmers a square
deal and make Princeton pleasant
and profitable place for them to sell
their produce and do their trading, and
our village will continue to grow and
prosper.
