4 | A Vision of War $ ^ Hubert (J. Injjersoll. | <?>>MH8,,JN>,X"5,,>,><H0,,X"W"X"X"ii,X' , ? ) The past rises before me, as it were, like a dream. Again we are in the great str ggle for national life. We hear the sounds of preparations ?the music of boisterous drums?> tne silent voice 01 neruic uugies. We see thousands of assemblages, and hea# the appeals of orators; we see the pale cheeks of women and the flushed faces of men; and in those assemblages we see all the dead whose dust we have covered with flowers. We lose sight of them no more. We are with them when they enlist In the great army ot freedom. We see them part with those they love. Some are walking for the last time In quiet, woody places with the maidens they adore. We hear th* whisperings and the sweet vows of eternal love as they lingeringly part forever. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babies that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some are partin,. with mothers who hold them and pres-> them to their hearts again and again, and say nothing. And some are talk"VT ing with wives and endeavoring with brave word, spok jn in the old tones, to drive from their hearts the awful fear. 'We see them pnrt. We see the wife standing in the door with the babe in her arms?standing in the sunlight sobbing?at the turn of the 1 road a hand waves?she answers by holding high in her loving arms the child. He is gone, and forever. We see them all as they march I rondly away under the Haunting flags, keeping time to the grand, wild music of war?marching down the , streets of the great cities- - through 1 the towns and across the nrairier.? < down to the fields of glory, to do and tc die for the eternal right. We go with them, one and all. We are by their side on all the gory j ~ - ?>-- i?.?i??i? ,,f i? < Ileitis?in an iu? nunpuai; on all the weary marches. We stand guard with them in the wild storm and under the quiet stars. We are : with them in ravines running with blood?in the furrows of old fields. We are with them between contend- , ing hosts, uanble to move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing slowly away among the withered leaves. We see y them pierced by balls and torn with ( shells, in the trenches, by forts, and i in the whirlwind of the charge, i where men become iron, with nerves of steel. 1 / We are bound with them in the prison* of hatred and famine; hut human speech can never tell what ] they endured. We are at home when the news < comes that they are dead. We see 1 the maiden in the shadow of her first ' .sorrow. We see the silvered head of J the old man bowed with the last grief. The past rises before us, and we see four millions of human beings < governed by the lash?we see them i bound hand and foot?we hear the 1 strokes of cruel whips?we see the f hounds tracking women through ^ tangled swamps. We see babes sold A from the breasts of mothers. Cruel- > ^4 ty unspeakable! Outrage infinite! i f Four million bodies in chains-*? 1 * foui million souis in fetters. All the i ( sacred relations of wife, mother, j lather and child trampled beneatfrj 1 the brutal feet of might. - And all this was done under our own beautiful banner of the free. The past rises before us. We hear the roar and shriek of the nursling shell. The broken tetters fall. These v heroes die. We look. Instead of i slaves we see men and women and 1 children. The wand of progress touches the auction block, the slave 8 pen, the whipping post, and we see * homes and firesides and school _ nouses and books, and where all was want and crime and cruelty and fear < we see the faces of the free. These heroes are dead. They died p for liberty?they died for us. They 1 are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn V \ pint's, the sad hemlocks, the tearful ' willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the window less palace of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars?they are at peace. , In the midst of buttle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment, for soldiers living or dead: Cheers for the living; tears for the dead. The Truth. lioston Transcript. Hix?Did you ever know an amateur angler to tell the truth?

Otdtlme Criminal "7 ,'als. Criminal trials used to be conducted with wonderful speed In London, especially after the court had dined. An old observer of the w ays of *the central criminal court cites a case in which a prisoner had picked a pocket of a handkerchief, Two witnesses were called, the man robbed and a , constable, who stated the facts In a | few words. Then the Judge addressed the prisoner. "Nothing to say, 1 suppose?" The summing up was as follows: "Gentlemen, 1 suppose you have no doubt? I have none." Jury? "Guilty, my lord." Judge to prisoner: "We havo met before?wo shall not meet again for some time?sevon years' transportation." Time of trial, two minutes fifty-three seconds. It was said that these after dinner trials did not average more than four minutes each. Sign In the Snowstorm. Walking from Hope to Hayfleld by a path over the moors, Writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. I found the hills covered with snow. A freezing east wind made things anything but pleasant.1 At one point 1 had to admit that 1 had lost my way, and It was with relief that I found a signpost. The Inscription was blotted out with frozen snow 1 climbed the post, and with great lifllculty and personal discomfort lhawed the snow off with inv already half frcaen hand, and succeeded in leciphering the inscrfptiopi It said: 'Keep to the path."?I.ondcn 'Jlohe Funeral Omnibuses.

When King Alfonso visited Austria a short time ago he allowed it to be known that a loaf of crusty bread and a large Jug of water were essentials to his comfort and he desired that they be set upon the table where he could reach them at will. On this particular occasion the dinner L was at the Spanish embassy, and presumably the king felt free to make known his wishes, hut at the same 1 time he complained that "in Berlin. Paris, and London I had frequently to go short of the two things I like best at my meals?bread and water." v ucn "MaKe-urr." TbO Japanese nobleman who adopts a won for a money payment has to part with a certain percentage of It to the royal coffers. The royal consent is necessary to all adoptions, and though' In bygono ages it was never refused, modern developments have suggested 1 to the minister of finance at the Japa- ( neso court the wisdom of making the ^ person who wants the rovnl consent j to an adoption (in certain circum- j tances) pay for 1L Witty Reply. IiOrd Lyons, the ambassador, vra* not what one would call a witty man, but there ts one good story told of hint showing that he could-make so apt reply on occasion. One of his friends, Augustas Craven. was intensely mysterious In manner, and once on meeting him In Ix>ndon Lord Lyons asked If his wife were with him. It happened that Mrs. Craven was St A vine with lnrtv Pnu- nor at Wpaat and Mr. Craven replied In his ?olenin, slow, mysterious way: ( 'She ir? at Wrest." Requleseat in pare!" replied Lord Lyons, with equal solemnity. Mannerly Girls. A tall young man with a distinctly English bearing was pacing the front veranda at one of the fashionable hotels at Atlantic City not long ago. Ruddenly he came to a stop, readjusted his eye-glass and turned to an acquaintance who was standing by. "Rah Jove!" said he, "all the girls round here smile at me." "Well, that shows that they have some manners," quietly returned the other. "Anywhere else they would laugh outright."?Illustrated Sunday* Magazine EED .
