On the other hand, Grant gained practi cally all his victories In the enemy's country. It is a truism in war that men fight better on their own soil, when defending their homes. On the defensive Lee's generalship was mas terly. When he invaded Union terri tory he was undone. While his' West Virginia campaign is the least known of his entire military career. there is none that more clearly brings out this point Even his own partisans admit its weakness. Magnificently planned, its breakdown was almost pitiful. Fight on ,Hatteras Island., In the meantime things *were hap pening in the vicinity of Hatteras In let. After the capture of the fortS -there on Aug. 28 Colonel Hawkins was left with a part of the Ninth New York and several gunboats to hold them. Later he was re-enforced by Colonel Brown with the Twentieth I~dlana. He first dispatched an expe dkhlon to disable the abandoned forts at Ocracoke .Inlet, a few miles down the shore, and later sent Colonel Brown and the Twentieth Indiana up Hatteras island to Chicomicomico for the double purpose ot protecting the in habitants of the island and of observ Ing' Confederates, who were gath ering in e ~orce on Roa noke island Sthe north. - Colonel Brown ianded Sept30 with.'ta t supplies. On Oct. 1 the Fanny, a United States pro peller, was to land stores and intrenec lng tools. No..~ooner had the :y anchored, however, th'-teCon "ied, surrounded ed her. It was estimated 2d $150,000 worth of supplies all of which fell into the hands. This of itself defeat ose of Colonel Brown's ex ,but was not the worst of the store for him. The Confeder Roanoke Island now attempted .trround and capture his entire nd and for this purpose landed large forces, one above and one iow him on the narrow island. The y thing that saved him was that e boats below were delayed in land ing, and as night was coming on Colo nel Brown managed to retreat past them fri the darkness. Now began a weary march of twenty-eight miles to Hatteras light. To add to the mIseries of the retreat, the inhabitants aban doned their homes and fied with t;he troops, who had been their protectors. among them being old m~en.- women and children. When. th-esun arose and beat down-on t.e~Ihot sands both sol yes began falling out. oercome by the heat and by hunger and thirst. The supply or food and water was almost exhausted. In this way almost 6fty of Colone: Brown's men dropped In their rracks In the blistering sands a'-d were cap;tured by the enemy. Turning the Tables. At Hatteras light Colonel ilawkins was happily encountered with about 500 men, who had marched to the re lief of their distressed comrades. With these came the Monticello and Susquanna. The odds were now suddenly turned. Waiting for the ad vaning Confederates, who approached with flying dlags and bands playing, the Monticello steamed close in and began shelling and scattering them. Following them as they attempted to retreat, driving them out of a copse in which they tried to take refuge, bombarding them~ as they fled across the hot sands, she kept up the attack for more than three hours, tiring 180 shots. It was impossible to tell how much execution was done, but guns and supplies were left scattered along the beach, and the Union officers esti mated that the number of killed and wounded must have been considerable. The New York Tribune said that hard ly in any action up to that time h-ad uch execution been done. Neverthe less the southerners afterward report d that they had lost but one man. The one sided battle continued until darkness fell, when the Confederate boats managed to get the remainder of their men off and with them put back to Roanoke island. During this operation the Monticello continued her ~ombardment, injuring some of the enemy's vessels. After this fight the Confederates re turned to Roanoke island and did not again disturb the Federals in their control of Hatteras inlet and Hatteras Island. General Mansfield was soon sent down from Washigton with re enforcements and was eventually re placed by General Thomas S. Williams. Colonel Hawkins issued an address to the people of North Carolina. as suring them that the northetrp] had not come to melstgm, but tot re-establish law and order.

MEEAZ I. A. WZS, 0. 8. A., LEADER UNDER GENEBEA N. I. LEE IN 1881, * mupplanted by General Mansfield. In m article written after the war Colo ael Hawkins insisted, however, that the expedition of Colonel Brown had ;erved its purpose in preventing the occupancy of Hatteras Island by the Confederates. He believed that if it ad not been made they would have estroyed Hatteras- light and would ave been in a position to make an ttack from the rear on the Union garrison occupying the forts. The blockade of southern ports, at which the southerners and Europeans had scoffed in the beginning, was being made more hefective as the aonths went by, but was still far from being complete. It was a stupendous undertakng, as never In history had a serious effort been made to blockade so ong a coast line. The lack of availa ble vessels on the part of the north nade the task so much the more diffi mlt, but by the conversion of all orts of craft Into gunboats, by* whole sale purchases and by feverish aictiv Lty n shipbuilding the blodkade was t last made much more effective than it first seemed possible.

Reading thenews of the day in my evening paiper. I found, tucked away in an obscure corner in small type, this story: John Weiss of Lawrenceburg, Ind., was arrested for stealing two "loaded" dice fromn saloon keeper. Sordid tale. that. Weiss, I said to myself. probably was a low saloon loafer. And if he did steal loaded dice why, few things are meaner thani to cheat in a game of chance. But Weiss has a wife. She often visited, him in the jail, and they seemed de-, voted to each other. One day the jailer thought he de tected Weiss in the act of passing a small pacJkage to his wife. Ah, ha! He demanded the package. The wife wept, which confirmed the jailer's suspicion. Weiss declared It was nothing. The jailer insisted, and finally Mrs. Weiss gave him the pack The jailer took the little bundle into the jail offce and carefully opened it. It might contain dynamite, you know. And when he had untied the strings What do you thik he found? The greater part of the meal be had furnished Weiss! Then the poor wife tearfully told the jailer the facts. Since her husband had been locked up she had no way to get money and was on the verge of starvation. And this man Weiss denied himself and saved the best bits of the meager prison fare to give to his famished Not much of a story? No. In that same newspaper was mportant news of the world, at home and abroad, great happenings digni fed by much exploitation of space and big type.

Text, "They said, He Is beside himself." -Mark iii. 2. Here's the most pathetic biography ever written. Every chapter tells a new woe. Surely prophecy was true he would be "a man of sorrow. ae qu.Inted with grief," but no imagian tion had ever pictured the least of it. Thirty years of enforced silenc'e. Wrongs there to be righted. but his hour "not yet come." The regiment under fire and permission withheld to charge. Truth everywhere on the scaffold. wrong everywhere on ibe throne. Hypocrisy, violence. pior downtrodden, widows unavenged, re ligion a hollow mockery. Yet he "was dumb; he opened not his mouth." He must wait till the slow years drag their lenden heels. His face aged nn der it. The Jews said. "Thou art not yet fifty years old." Then came the public life, the temptations, hardships. insults of Pharisees. contempt of rul ers, stupidity of followers. rejection of the people, attempted assassinations. Gethsemane, the judgment hall. Cal 'vary. "Et tu, Brute!" If there are shades of darkness this is the blackest. The text event has a bitterness all of its own. I'he harred of the Pharisees was one thinz. t!e vindictivenessi of the rulers :m'!h< r. This blow was from hands that to.eti him. They bad doubted hi-i f:'.: ie frst. John says, "Neither di,1 his brothers believe in him." and anionc, the Jews there was a grave sosicion. Many of them said: "He bath v '.il and is mad. Why hear ye hi Cate.. the significance of it? When - he stands at the door of the car;;'nt er shop, brushing the shavings from his hair, looking toward the settin.: suln. there's a gigantic dream in his healt. He dreams, this carpenter.

But, listen. oh, my soul! From the world's stand point the charge against my Lord is true. It is useless to denounce it as libel, a: bitter, blasphemous calumny. It is not so. It is true! They had no S alternative. Either be was the Christ, the Son of the living God. or he was beside himself. Either he was God "The Father and I are one"-or he was a maniac prating of his kingdom. Three years pass, three brief, swift years. He Is hunted as a criminal, seized. E hung on the cross, a laughingstock. They mock him; they taunt him; they spit upon him. The bubble's burst. The a dream's ended. A dead man's on the , gibbet That is the end of all. But, oh. my God! Two hundred centuries later his name Is whispered with awe; he leads armies who never buckled sword; he fills libraries who never wrote a book; he lights the worid's canvas who S never held a brush.

Yes, the mighty a Builder, the great Architect of the unti- y verse, who framed the vault of the F ky and the dome of eternity. . -The Eccentricity of Goodness. And the Christian? Yes, he. too, is "beside himself" in the eyes of the world. It was always so, "Paul, thou art beside thyself." said his lustful. wicked accuser. Truly, a holy life is E' always a phenomenon. What Is being " beside oneself? What is madness? Man acts different from others. We say he is eccentric. He gathers old coins - or collects stamps or bugs or beetles.
