- are cherished by rnion veter-
ans and who are recalled to
mind In loving remembrance
every Memorial day few stand higher
than General James B. Mcpherson,
who was killed near Atlanta in 1864.
Some years ago the late General An
drew Hickenlooper of Cincinnati gave
some interesting "reminiscences of Gen
eral Mcpherson. He said:
II was chief engineer of McPher-
sons corps at Vicksburg and saw much
of both Mcpherson and Grant during
the siege. 1 have seen many army of
ficers, but never one like Mcpherson.
There never was anybody like him.
Young, handsome and full of enthusi-
asm, he was the idol of his soldiers.
"You never saw anything like it at
his headquarters. He seemed a broth
er or a simple, good comrade to his of,
fcers. He was one of ourselves.
ST cannot describe to you the feeling
we had for him. 1t was something
more than the strongest friendship be-
tween man and man"
The general paused a moment and
dropped his head. Memory was busy

THE mufled drums sad roll has
4 beat
The soldiers last tattoo.
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead.
KT O rumor of the foes advance
4V Now swells upon the wind.
No troubled thought at midnight
haunts
Of loved ones left behind.
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms.
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
THEIR shivered swords are red
Il with rust.
Their plumed heads are bowed.
Their naughty banner, trailed in
dust,
Is now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have
WdSHeu
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms by battle
gashed
Are free from anguish now.
THE neighing troop, the flashing
blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful c%annonade,
The din and shout, are passed.
Nor wars wild note, o glory's
peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may
feel
The rapture of the fight.
IKE the fierce northern hurricane
~ That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to
gain,
Came down the serried foe.
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath
Knew that the watchword of that
day
Was victory or death!
HULL many a norther's breath
u has swept
Der Angostura's plain,
And long the plying sky has wept
Above its mcldered slain.
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
The shepherds pensive lay,
Alone awakes each solemn height
That frowned DER that dark fray.

MONROE ONCE DERELIcT
Evangelist Who Converted Billy
Sunday Emerged From Gutter.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Thirty-six years
ago Harry Monroe. mission worker
who died here Monday, was moral
derelict, young tough who fought his
way in and out of the dives Of whisky
row." The building which now houses
the Pacific Garden mission was then
occupied By one of the most notorious
of the free and easies," combination
of saloon. dance hall. and cafe.
The FOUNDERS knew Monroe as pal.
He drank heavily: he fought as often
as he drank. Those were the days
when Mike Mcdonald and George
Hawkins were the king pin gamblers
of Chicago and whisky row was the
mecca of the riffraff of the underworld
as we'll as the big glights in sporting
circles. They all knew Harry Monroe.
The man was not a product of the
slums. He was born in Exeter. n. H.,
on Jan. II, 1858. He ran off with cir
Gus which came to his home town.
From hen on he was buffeted about
the country with road shows. minstrel
troupes. and small circuses until he
found himself a derelict cast up on
whisky row. He had been an outlaw,
he had been in prison.
Then came his conversion. On the
occasion of the twenty-second anniver-
sary of his connection with the mission
he told the down and outs how this had
come about.
When I was in the county Jail an
angel came to see me and helped me-"
he said He referred to Mrs. Clarke
who was a mission worker during the
early history Of the institution as we'll
as its chief financial supporter.
But my real conversion came in a
saloon" Monroe told his followers. 1T
was there l found God. had no work:
was sick; l was drunk. but God came
to me. 1t was twelve years since had
written to my mother. l went home to
her. and she stood in the door of her
cottage and kissed me, and l fell on
her neck and wept. Often have | gone
back to that saloon just to stand and
look at the spot where the light came
to me-"
The name Pacific Garden" was Civ
en- to the mission by the world famous
evangelist. Dwight l.. Moody. Monroe
came back to Chicago following his
conversion and went to work among
the men who had gambied drank and
fought with him. In 1892, when Col.
Clarke died, he succeeded him as super
intendent and since then had become
known all over the country among down
and cutters who needed helping hand.

THE PORT OF MISSING WHEELS.
Here Is New Light On the Eventual
Fate of BICYCLES.

Perhaps you have wondered what has
become of all the old bicycles. Not so
long ago everybody had one-1ather'
mother, children and aunts from the
country. And then, in the night, motor
cars got cheaper and all the bicycles
disappeared. Like the Palm Beach suits
they are all here in Florida. There are
bicycles everywhere, On the fiat, hard.
beautiful roads, on the curbstones, lean
ing against the plazas. In the streets
If the motor car has swept them from
the northern streets it has not done
that here. Men, women and children
on bicycles whirl about the streets,
tingling their little bells and the motor
car drivers look out for them. Just be-
yond the veranda at Palm Beach were
hundreds of bicycles waiting to be hired.
Out on the shaded roads were other
hundreds bearing their gayly attired
burdens.-M futile, in the
