who is considered the most

Schurman: 4I like the American
idea of the separation of Church and

has since arrived in Manilla and

The High Tide at Gettysburg.
By an Ex-Confederate Soldier.
(Members of Grant Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic lately
made, with their families, a visit to
the battlefield of Gettysburg. The
occasion brought to the minds of
some of them the really great poem
by a Confederate soldier, published
on the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the battle.)
A cloud possessed the hollow field,
The gathering battle's smoky shield.
Athwart the gloom the lighting flashed.
And through the cloud some horsemen
dashed,
And from the heights the thunder
I'caicu.
Then at the brief command of Lee,
Moved out that matchless infantry,
With Pickett leading grandly down,
To rush against the roaring crown
Of those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns,
A cry across the tumult runs?
The voice that rang through Shilolfs
woods
And Chickamauga's solitudes.
The fierce South cheering on her
sons!
Ah, how the withering tempest blew
Against the front of Pettigrew!
A Kainsin wind that scorched and
singed
Like that infernal flame that fringed
The British squares at Waterloo!
A thousand fell where Kemper led:
A thousand died where Garnett bled ;
In blinding flame and strangling
smoke
The remnant through the batteries
broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
"Once more in Glory's van with me!"
Virginia cried to Tennessee;
"We two together, come what may,
Shall stand upon these works today!"
(The reddest day in history.)
Brave Tennessee! In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrade say:
. i __ _ * J .t i .J
"Utose round tms rent ana riuuieu
rag!"
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that
wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the cannon's mouth
And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tenneflseean set
His breast against the bayonet!
In vain Virginia charged and raged,
A tigress in her wrath uncaged,
Till all the hill was red and wet!
Above the "bii^STiets, mixed and
'crossed,
Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost.
Receding through the battle cloud.
And heard across the tempest loud
The death cry of a nation lost!
The brave went down! Without disgrace
i
They leaped to Ruin's red embrace.
They only heard Fame's thunders
..wake
And saw the dazzling sunburst braak
In smiles on Glory's bloody face!
They fell, who lifted up a hand
And bade the sun in heaven to stand!
They smote and fell who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars.
And stayed the march of Motherland!
They saw the future come
On througn thefight's delirium!
They smote and stood, who held the
hope
Of nations on that slippery slope
Amid the cheers of Christendom!
God lives! He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling
hill.
God lives and reigns! He built and

BURDEN OF THE WEST.
Roosevelt says the West Holds the Future
of the Nation.
Milwaukee, Wis., June 28.?Gov.
Roosevelt, who is visiting in this
city, was escorted to the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce to-day just
before the hour of closing and given
an enthusiastic reception. In addressing
the bulls and bears he said:
"At the end of the nineteenth century,
as this cohntry moves along on
the road to greatness, she has many
serious problems to face, and when
she needs men to carry out irer purpose
she can call upon men of the
best thought and wisdom, just such
men as I am now addressing. You
of the great West hold in your hands
the future of this nation. It rests
with you and j*ou will, I know, show
yourselves equal to the task.
"We always have with us our home
problems, and we should aim always
to get into public life men of
courage, of common sense and of
honesty. No amount of genius or
brilliancy can atone for a lack of the
element of fearlessness, of decency
and horse sense, and no one or two
of these will avail unless the man
has all three. The ablest man alive,
if corrupt, is a danger to the country
or community to just the extent of
L ' - U-Ill rl ttklllf ?t Otul tTAll
nib inimaiiuv auu auu juin
gentlemen, are in honor bound to
allow him to feel the weight of your
disapproval.
"I don't care how brave a man is,
if he is a natural-born fool, he is not
worth knocking in the head.
"If a man is lacking in common
honesty, he is not fit for public life,
no matter how brilliant he may be.
"We have certain important
foreign problems which confront us.
The United States has evidently as
great a destiny 011 the Pacific as on
the Atlantic ocean, and, whether we
live 011 the former or the latter, we
must be equally interested in the
welfare of the nation upon every
foreign question: We should all see
that the nation rises on the Atlantic,
and we have a right to demand of all
good citizens to stand by the president.
"We want to make it understood
that while we fear no nations and
shirk no duty, we desire above all
things peace, and we feel that there
are three great nations which have
interests together. These are
America, England and Germany.
These should work hand in hand for
the solution of the questions that
now confront us in the Pacific."^ ^
Salt In Kimu.
"A new industry in Kansas," says a
the Chiraco Kecord,
"is the manufacture of salt A large
deposit has been discovered on the line
of the Santa Fe railroad near the town
of Hutchinson, in the central part of
the etate, which the local geologists
claim to be the largest in the world.
More than $3,000,000 has already been
Invested in plants to purify jt, and the
output last year reached nearly 2,000,000
barrels. The members of the Mul
vane fajQjly Topeka, wno are Heavy
landowners, bankers and proprietors of
the Topeka Captial, are the largest salt
operators in the state, but George Goald
and his brothers of New York are also
heavily interested. Frank Gould, the
youngest son of the late Jay Gould,
who has only recently reached his majority,
is having bis first business experience
\n the management of the company."
Closed Rome Prer^ntlom.
A house that is to De closed during
the summer should have sheet iron
screens fitted into each open grata This
will prevent the soot sifting down into
the room, as it might easily do with
nobody to look out for it Another caution
is to see that the ice box is left
perfectly empty, with the exception of
a shallow dish filled with charcoal, and
that the doors stand wide open. One
more precaution is that any kerosene
lamps left in the house should be thoroughly
cleaned, the wicks taken out
and burned and the burners and fixture*
boiled in soda water, to be left
absolutely clean. Nothing is more permeatingr-snd
offensive than the smell
from staie oil.
phot a. Bullet Throagk m. Platlron.
A public exhibition of the force of a
common Mauser rifle used by a Spanish
soldier at San Juan Hill was given the
other day at Fort Scott, Kan., with
TVOirSfcrf's!results. The rifle was brought
home by Captain A. M: WftsSlTdt?^V&fcTwenty-third
Kansas. A ball shot from
it against the flat side of a common flatir*?^penetrated
the iron, leaving a hole
as ^ooth as if it were a pine board.
The uall in going one on me oppoene
side scaled the iron as an ordinary bullet
wonld a board. Then three shots
were fired against a steel ax blade. Two
of them gouged deep holes into the steel
and the third bulged it on the opposite
side.?Kansa3 City Times.
Petroleum la the Latest.
The moiphine and alcohol habits have
beefi relegkted to the things of yesterday,
while the latest narcotic vice is
"petrolism," which is designated by experienced
physicians as "a grim novelty,
almost without parallel." Little by
little the victim to the use of petroleum
becomes sad and melancholy, and his
doses increase in size until the habit
becomes a passion.
The mineral oil has none of the stimulating
properties of alcoh^^^morphine,
and the sufferer's c5uuiiion is
most deplorable. The evil is too new at
presenffor the physicians to have discovered
any satisfactory method of
treatment.
Maple' Planked Shad.
llTwo years ago," says the Boston
Tr: ^script, "a Maine lumbering party,
not being able to find the conventional
green ash for planking their shad, had
recourse to a green rock maple alab.

A White Elephant In Paris.
A genuine white elephant?or what j
passes as such?has been presented to i
the Parisians by M. Doumer, the French '
representative in Siam. Cherie, as the
pachyderm has already been nicknamed,
made her state entry into Paris a few
days ago, being met at the Gare de
Lyon by a distinguished company.
Some little disappointment was felt
when it was observed, as the traveler
stepped onto the platform, that she was
scarcely so white as she had been painted.
The prevailing tone of her complexion
is indeed a sort of patchy red, veiled
by a mass of grayish hair, the eyes and
the eyelids being pink. It will be remembered
that Barnum's specimen,
"secured at immense cost." fell equally
short of its reputation.
As a matter of fact, the Albino elephant
is never really white, but the de- j
ficiency of nature is sometimes made up
for by the aid of art. It is gratifying to j
learn that the guest of the Jardin des j
Plantes has charming manners, including
a clever habit of kneeling and doing
obeisance to the French public.?Lon
don Chronicle.
Deserved His Promotion.
Captains of the Iowa, in his contribution
to "The Story of the Captains" for
The Century, speaks of the wonderful
nerve and courage of a boatswain's
mate named Trainor shown at the destruction
of the Vizcaya. The boat of
which Trainor was acting cockswain
was lying near the stern of the burning
cruiser, and most of the Spanish sailors
crowded on her upper deck aft had been
persuaded to jump overboard, and were
thus saved. Three remained, however,
holding on to the rail, with their bodies
hanging over the side of the almost redhot
ship.
Trainor was heard to say," "We must
save them men somehow," and without
orders he jumped overboard, swam
to the side of the Vizcaya, clambered up
to the deck at the imminent risk of his
life, kicked the three men overboard,
took a header himself and succeeded in
rescuing all three cf them. The water
was full of sharks snapping and tearing
at the Spanish dead and wounded.
Trainor was afterward promoted at the
request of his captain.
Good Exercise For the Calves.
That results which seem incredible
can be obtained in the development of
the muscles without resorting to gymnasium
practice or using expensive apparatus
and without the slightest interference
with the subject's usual
mode of life has been learned with
pleasure by a young man in Germantown.
He bought a bicycle last summer
and proposed to ride it, but his legs
were so small that in "bike" pants he
was jeered at wherever he went, and
soon his wheel was rusty from disuse.
He determined then to enlarge his

Science of Sonndtffe Sknlls.
Certain disciples of Charcot, notably
M. Gilles de la Tourette, have recently
evolved a new science, or rather a new
ai,d to diagnosis, in the sounds of the
skull. They tap the skull with a little
hammer, and, according to the character
cf the note it gives out, they conclude
as to the condition of the'bratel.
The skull of a child gives out a note, of
higher pitch than that of a man. In old v
age the skull sound rises again. The
thicknessof the skull can be determined
after some practice, and any disease or
fracture betrays itself by the peculiar
sound. Some skulls, according to the
doctors, give out a veritable sound of
a cracked pot, and so the popular term
"cracked" for a person of eccentric intellect
is fully justified.
Even the Second* Escaped.
Two street porters in Bonn got into a
row lately, and instead of punching
each other's heads were persuaded to
fight a duel "under severe conditions."
They were stripped to the waist, blindfolded
and armed with revolvers. One
shot was to be fired at 15 paces, blindfolded;
then the combatants were to
raise the bandages, advance to ten paces
distance and fire again. Two rounds
were fired in this way without damage
to any one, not even the four seconds.
The latter then decided that honor was
catiaficwT All fchft rmrtips tn thp nffair
have been arrested, the authorities apparently
being furious at the ridicule
upon dueling by the low rank of the
combatants.
Bicycle Signal Code.
A simple interhationsY'mgaal -CCdftfor
bicyclists has been devised in Paris.
It is to be sent to all bicycle clubs and
organizations the world over and may
prove of value not only to bicyclists, but
to pedestrians Founded on the Morse
system of telegraphy, its simplicity is
expected to contribute to its general
adoption. The strokes are made on the
bicycle belL The code is as follows:

How long will it be before a similar
collocation of numbers occurs and how 3
often will it occur in the twentieth
century? Perhaps 1-1-01 might be ac- j
cepted, and 2-2-22, meaning Candlemas <
day, 1922, would certainly be so.
