woods took fire from the guns and the
clouds of smoke blinded the combat
ant. AT nightfall Lee'r men had
driven the enemy from their front line
but nothing gained. Ten thousand
dead and wounded added gloom and
borrow to the wilderness that shocked
the eye and sickened the heart. Grant
saw his danger and there was but one
thing for him to do, and that was to
get out of the wilderness.
Now Mr.. Editor, I am going to
prove some history.
In two years, nine months, and nine
days (1,O0O) days from June 1, 1862
until April 9, 1865 General R. E. Lee
fought seven great campaigns against
six picked generals.
At it's greatest his army numbered
less than $4,000 men poorly equipped,
badly supplied with food and clothing,
yet in one thousand days it put hosr
decombat more than 100000 Federals.
The official records in Washington
show that with a deduction of 1000
from the casualties of the campaign
before June the first the killed,
wounded, and missing were as fol-
lows: against Mcclellan before Rich
mond, June first 1862 to August 8,18
62, the Federal loss was 22,44s. A
gainst Pope before Washington, June
26, 1862 to September 2, 1862, the
loss was 1886. Against McClellen in
Maryland September 8, 1862 to No
vember IA, 1852 the loss was 2S,5-
n. Against Burnside before Freder-
icksburg Nov. Is, 1852 to January
25, 1862 the loss was 1924. Against
Hooker on the Rappahannock, Janu-
ary 26, 1852 to June 27, 1862 the loss
was 25,O27. Against Meade on Penn
sylvania June %, 1864 the loss was
1880. Against Grant before Rich
mond May a, 1864 to April 8, 1865,
the loss was 124,390. In one thousand
days Lee put out of action more than
three of our army at maximum. In the
campaign above mentioned, the Fed
eral casualties were double the losses
inflicted by the Duke of Wellington in
all 81 his battles in India, spainzand
at Waterloo. The killed and wounded
among the japanese at Port Arthur
were less than those of Grant in his
campaign. Scarcely in the history OF
Napoleon's twenty years can the re-
cord of such fighting as was done by
Lees army be paralleled. The total
number of confederates paralleled at
Appomattox April 9, 1865 was: Off
GERS 1855, men 25, ,494, total 2S,,356.
Of troops surrendered only about 20
600 had arms. Grant was facing Lee
eleven months with about 100000
men and the world to draw from be-
sides and did not know how to out
fight Lee with his little band, the best
fighters the world ever saw. But
Grant did know how to apply brute
force. From the wilderness to Peters
burg Lees army destroyed 10000
Federals. Grant faced Lee at Peters
burg for nine months with all the men
and means at his command, but he
never made an assault on Lees lines,
but he had the brute force about him
to spring mine.
In my next / will tell about the
springing of the mine at Petersburg.

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Minnesota.
Dear Advertiser:
Sunday the twenty ninth, the first
time in six weeks, Aurora was favored
with a rain. concluded that the
teachers brought the good luck. One
remembered that her first Sunday in
every new town was rainy day. Here
nearly all streets are paved, SO that
one does not have to contend with
mud.
True to my life long custom / starts
ed to Sunday school in the morning,
got even so far as the Methodist
church door and found it locked. La
ter I learned that there is only one
service during the day and that it is
in the evening. II
The town has two churches, a
Methodist and Catholic.
I remind myself of the type of man
often used in illustrations. He goes
from his office to his home and back
again, living within the boundary of
one straight line. However my life is
a little more complicated. four cor
nered affair, from the school to the
post office and from there to my room
and, my boarding place. At the first
place I get learning or rather dispense
it, at the next I get mail, whose
price is above rubies, and at the latter
two, rest and food.
But to continue my diary of a day,
we lunch at noon, sup at six and
breakfast just as late as we dare, of
course.
In the afternoon we stroll, for both
the scenery and the company are
good. This bracing air gives US appe-
tites that are menace to "Hooverish"
teachings.
The five of our faculty who live
and 1 call the five the gang
not because they have the gang spirit,
but rather the gang habit attended a
church service in Aurora for the first
time Sunday night. This was at seven

of seat. 1t is the same principle, it
seems to me as that of hhtching your
wagon to a star. Make your ideals
high, though you know you will fall
below them. Make them low and
you may fall even correspond
ingly below that. Build big places of
worship and that will inspire the peo-
pie to attend and inspire you to go
then. Though l would rather
hear an excellent sermon in small
church than vice versa. This is what
we heard, an excellent address by a
man wo said that he preferred
not to stand behind a pulpit, but out
nearer the audience where he felt
freer. His subject was power. Among
other things he made the remark that
the world is filled with potential pow
er; what we need is, not more OF it
but better way of handling it-what
we possess as individuals and what
we find in the outside world in the
vast resources of nature. 1t is better
thing to spend day in town and get
an idea, than to spend week and get
a great many more things that / could
think of.

Lineup, Drop Exciting
Contest, 10 to is

Trenton. n. j.. Feb. 21.--Trenton
defeated Camden here last night for the
first time this season IN a game that
teemed with excitement and in which
the score was close at all times. The
final figures were 10 to 16.
Camden presented a depleted line up,
neither Steele nor Campbell appearing
on the floor, their places being taken
by Lennox and Hyde, second string
men.
Trenton started off like an easy win
ner, piling up three points within two
minutes. After that, however, Cam
den stopped the rush and there was no
time during the remainder of the contest
at which more than three points sepa-
rated the clubs.
Camden never was in the lead, nor
did it tie the score during the entire
forty minutes. The first half ended
10 to 8.
Dolan and Kerr did the bulk of the
work for Camden, while the defensive
work of Deighan also was effective.

Bucknell defeated Temple University
in a basketball game in the latter's gym
last night by the score of 80 to 90. The
result was contrary to expectation, as
Temple has been going good of late and
on it's own floor was confident of win
ming.
The visitors took the lead early and
held it through good work on the part
of Waddell and Doris. Holstead s
goal just before the half time whistle
left the count 90 to IA.
In the second half Temple crept up,
and with only few minutes left, came
near, catching Bucknell. Only three
points separated the teams. and the
play was fast and furious. Gross shot
two fouls and only one point remained.
The needed goal was not there.
Instead, Bucknell rallied and several
field goals left Temple again in the rear,
with no time to come back.
