RESIGNED to Fate.

In the early days of the war GROUP
Of optimistic young men assembled al

Myer, Va, with all the necessary ap-
purtenances of officers, from spurs TO
an extra pair Of field glasses. Later on.
as It became necessary for the authori-
ties to hand out little pink slips and
one-way tickets home, 1t grew into o
custom for the departing candidates TO
auction of his equipment.
One Saturday morning Captain
Blank said sharply to Candidate Jones
of Company Y:

Mr.. Jones stepped forth. Taking his
place before the company, he was sud
denly stricken dumb.

n strongly rising infection.

light the roads which existed between
the various Roman establishments of
the south of France Inscriptions and
sculptured fragments have been found

glasses as a training for finding enc

HE didn't have no business to call
me Niger, did he, doctor?"
''There is no harm in the word ne
gro," explained the doctor. NEGRO
is the name of your race, your people.
Every race has n name, the Indian, the
Chinese; the name Of your people is
the negro race"
You say dat, doctor? You thinks
dat? But us cOlOred folks, we know

But that Is the talk Of ignorance"

SENT FAMOUS WAR MESSAGE
Man Who Wlgwageed Hold the For'
for General Sherman During
Civil Conflict, Is Dead.

Alfred Nye, member of the Federal
Signal corps during the Civil war, who
died recently at Lexington, Neb., is
credited with having sent General
Sherman's famous message, Hold the
tort" to General COrse at AllatOona
Pass, Ga, in 1864. During General
Sherman's march to Atlanta, the Con
federates under General Hood, with
drew and marched around General
Sherman, heading back toward Ten.
uessee, planning thereby to cut the
Union line of communication.
The point chosen by the COnfed-
crates was Allatoona Pass, guarded
by two little forts on either side of
the railroad, the garrison being formed
Of a small brigade under Lieut.. Col. ].
q. Tourtellotte. When the Confederate
army began its attack Colonel Tour
tellotte asked for help. General Corse,
with the nearest troops available, at
Rome, Ca, was ordered to reinforce
the pass. He was able to move only
a few hundred men.
The battle ragged through the
night and the following day. the Union
men refusing to surrender the fort.
Meanwhile Sherman was exchanging
signals with the men whenever the
smoke Of battle drifted aside, until he
was able to have Alfred Nye wigwag
TO them: "Hold the fort" The Con-
federates retreated and continued their
march to Tennessee.

GRAVEYARDS DESIGNATED
All Cemeteries in MERGED, CAL, Mo-
Tested, Save One.

Visitors and attendants found mOnu-
ments toppled over, wooden head
boards put up and massive stones on
family plots torn from their founda-
lions in six of Merced's graveyards.
The police said they were at loss TO
account for the Dissertation.
In some instances headbOards were
transferred from one cemetery to an
other and driven into the ground at
random.
Some monuments were moved to
strange plots and set carefully over
unfamiliar graves. Slabs weighing as
much as 1900 pounds each were found
thrown about in the litter of other
tomb fixtures.
The Catholic cemetery was the only
one here not moleSted.
