LAST OF THE 500

Although the famous charge of the
Light Brigade at BalakIava, immortalized
by Tennyson, occurred 70 years ago, on
October 25, 1854, the last survivor of that
gallant six hundred" died only recently.
He was Edwin Hughes a sergeant
major, who until his death fDceived assist
ance from a special fund raised e.
veterans of that heroic charge, which was
an incident Of the Crimean War, in which
Turkey, with aid from England, France
and Sardinia, defeated Russia.
The Light Brigade composed OF 673
British cavalrymcn, charged the Russian
field artillery over distance of mile and
half, losing PAT men and 497 horses in
20 minutes. They cut down many of the
Russian gunners. but were forced to re-
treat in disorder Their dashing exploit
raised the morale of the allies, however,
and diminished that of the Russians.
A few days later, at the battle of
Inkeman on November ), 5000 British
held $4,000 Russians at bay in q hand TO
hand conflict until the French arrived and
routed the enemy. Then, after a years
siege, during which the allies suffered I'M
told hardships, the great fort of Sevastopol
was evacuated by the Russians and the war
was ended. 1t was during this siege that
Florence Nightingale organized the first
nursing system in military hospitals.
Thus, while the charge of the Light
Brigade was unsuccessful. it was a moral
victory which probably turned the tide of
war against the forces of the Car. It was
stirring memory that Edwin Hughes car
ried with him during his long life.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT

There is every reason to believe that
the United States has returned to a gov
eminent of the people, by the people and
for the people.
Under long-term partisan admins
tration, many abuses Of power had crept
into our national affairs. Our house of rep
lesentatives and senate had lost the con-
fidence of the people.
Whether well-founded or not, the
people had an idea hat their political rep
resentatives at Washington were under the
control of great financial interests, leaders
of big business, or were under the political
lash of organized groups of our citizens led
by professional reformers.
Even the president himself was re-
garded by great number of American
citizens as representative of special groups
and special interests as opposed to the
great majority.
The election of 1882 resulted in a
great popular uprising as the result of this
belief and one of the greatest govern
mental overturns in American history re-
suited.

WATCH YOUR MACHIk.--

Every prudent person who owns and
operates piece of machinery is ca. eful to
see that it is kept in sod condition. This
is generally Gone through freque1 in
spections to detect unusual wear and tear,
so as to have the necessary repairs made
before the machine actually breaks down.
The most important piece of ma
ch.aery of all, however, is often sally nec-
lected. We refer to the human body, the
machine upon which all JOY of living de-
ponds.
It is we'll that people are more and
more getting the habit of having periodical
physical examinations, even though they be
apparently in good health. By these ex-
aminations incipient disease may often be
detected long before the person examined
would have felt any discomfort from it..
This is particularly true of diseases which
attack the internal organs such as the
heart, lungs, liver and kidneys
Every person, especially those getting
along toward middle age, should have a
thorough physical examination at least
once year, whether they feel any symp-
toms of disease or not If no disease be
found, it is a great satisfaction to know
that one is sound physically, while a warm
ing Of disease in It's first stages enables one
to obtain treatment which may check its
progress and materially prolong his life.
Most large life insurance companies
now afford their policyholders free medj-
lege should be taken advantage of by all
means. If no insurance policy be carried.
the lee for such an examination is small
and may save much suffering and ex-
pense in the future.
Watch your human machine.
