i POOR CONRAD'S LETTER t
< >
When President Wilson proclaimed
this day t.> be a day of thanksgiving
and prayer and that it should
be observed by this nation as $ day
of thanksgiving, fasting and prayer
and not a day of feasting and frol
lcking. l think mis least on turkey
and pie out of place, and if this day
should be kept as our President desired
we should do, it would seem
better if we had eaten only the
plainest food,or, better still, no food
at all. Verv little inconvenience
would be experienced in going without
food one day.
I see by the papers that thousands
and thousands of pounds of turkey,
cake, chicken and pie ana great
quantities of what are called nice
things have been sent to the soldiers
at the border. That is unnecessary;
the government is feeding these men
^and boys, or veterans of the border,
as they no doubt will be called after
they return home without sniffing
much dust or gunpowder. If they
are sniffing any powder at all, it's
perfume powder. Soldiers feasting
on dainties would make poor fighten.
Thej would very likely imbibe
the turkey trot aid at the first volley
from the enemy'a guns would
outrun the swiftest gobbler. Just to
think of fixing up huge boxes of all
kinds of knick-knacks for men who
have shouldered the gun and gone to
the front with the intention of enduring
any and all privations of
camp and field. "
When the civil war broke out the
Confederate States gave the Southern
soldier more than he should have
had, consequently one-half of the
armv got sick and manv died. Of
course much of the food was not
well prepared for eating, which had
a good deal to do with causing sickness.
It is quite different in the
United States army. Good cooks and
utensils of great convenience are attached
to every regiment. The meals
served them are of the moat substantial
sort and not the same every
day. The poor Confederate did not
have any such waiting on after the
second year of that struggle. He
had to be content on one pint of
ground com,unbolted.that he stirred
in a little water bran, and all as it
came from the mill; cooking.or rather,scalding,in
a frying pan if so fortunate
as to have one. or any old
niQAn nf fin nn on soma Kaf_
VI biu piV(\VU up VII OVIUV v?t
tlefield, but, bless your soul, that
made men of them. Ah, those heroes!
I see them still in their tattered
garments, not at the border in
comfortable tents with plenty of
good uniforms and warm blankets,
but standing around the bivouac
fires on a pile of brush to keep the
melting snow out of their sockless
old shoes or rawhide moccasins. But
few remain to tell the tale now.
Sleep on, dead comrades, you rest in
a hero's grave. While alive we stood
shoulder to shoulder, less than half
Had and poorly fed. Ah, the private
Confederate soldier! look up at him
on the top of the column at the cross
street. See him with gun in hand.
What is he doing at that post? What
is he watching for? Does he not say,
"My country, 'tis for thee"?
I have seen many of them receive
what in thosedays was called rations,
sit around a fire, cook and eat the
whole at once and after that subsist
as best they could. Now, that old
pint cup was nothing more than the
common pint cup often U3ed as a
drinking vessel. Sometimes one-quarter
of a pound, or, rather, what was
called one-quarter of a pound, of
bacon per day, weighed with a little
draw scale that would point to the
one-pound mark without anything
on it, would be doled out, so weighing
was guesswork. The time for
drawing rations was most uncertain.
Sometimes 100 pounds of beef
would be triven to a company of 100
men. The position of company sercrpnnt
was an onnleasant. nnp Somp
times I was detailed to perform that
disagreeable duty arid occasionally
had to hit some grumbler in the
mouth. Sometimes the beef would
arrive at night, perhaps in the rain,
and I have chopped it in from one
to five pound pieces with an ax in
the muddy ground. Very often the
beef would be used up and my men
would get almost none. My share
then was curses, and now those poor
fellows on the border no doubt are
beting: their mothers and sweethearts
to ask those in authority to
' let them come home, and the mothers
are doing so for those dear weak:
lings. What should that great Naj
tional Guardsman say? "We have
( come to stay; for war, if necessary,
j or for peace." What did the Sparj
tan mother say to her son when he
left home for the war?
"Come back victorious
Or come back on your shield."
The Spartan soldier fought with
short sword and shield. Fighting
was done at close quarters, not at
long range, as i9 done now,and when
he fell in battle he was borne from
the held on his shield.
What would President Davis or
General Lee have said if the Army
of Northern Virginia had gotten
their mothers to beg for them to
come home. "I want to see my ma.
Boohoo! boohoo!"
Now a little more about Confederate
service. I came home, or rather,
to South Carolina, for I had no
home. The army was more home to
me than aoy other place. I was

until the |aurrender at Appomattox
April 9, 1866. Two cannon of my
battery fired the laat cannon shots
at that spot. The ammunition waa
all ahot away, and some of my company
ran to our first lieutenant, saying.
"Our ammunition is out; where
can we get more?" He did not say
he wanted to go home; the surrender
had already taken place; he replied,
"We don't need any more."
Ragged few but undismayed,when
one was heard complaining during
those days of hardship or wanting to,
go home he was called a croaker,and
there was but little croaking.

Coaquered His Troubles.
"Tanlac has done a great deal for
me. Since I began taking it I have
gained ten pounds in weight and I
do not suffer with any of those distressing
ailments and I am steadily
improving in health and strength."
In these words,\V H Lewis,a Southern
Railway section foreman, of 44
Drake St, Charleston, summed up
the great relief Tanlac, ' 'The National
Tonic," hadgivenhim. Mr Lewis'
statement follows:
"My system was generally run
down and out of tone before I began
taking Tanlac. I was a sufferer with
indigestion and nervousness. I had
i?i-,i ?:_.i:?
conienueu wun imugesiiou iuiu^umiach
troubles for about twenty-tive
years and it seemed that nothing I
took would givenie permanent relief,
and generally I failed to get relief.
I have taken a great many different
medicines and have been treated by
physicians, but I continued to suffer
with my stomach.
"Gas formed in great quantities on
[ my stomach and I was troubled a
j great deal with pains around my
heart. At night I was very restless,
and my sleep was broken and unrefreshing,
and I was up and down all
night long. Pains in my abdomen
also added to my troubles and discomforts.
"I was subject to severe attacks of
nervousness, and when my nerves
were in that condition, any noise,
if it continued a while, would almost
drive me crazy.
"The Tanlac advertising had
caught my eye, and finally I decided
to take it, even if so many other
medicines had proved disappointing
to me and had done a lot to kill my
faith in medicine. But Tanlac proved
the exception to this rule. Tan
lac has done a great deal for me. I
have gained ten pHinds in weight,
and I do not suffer from any of those
distressing ailments as I did. My
appetite is good and I digest what I
eat, and I do not have those pains
after eating as I once did.
"My nerves were quieted by taking
the Tanlkc, and I also improved
so much that I can sleep well now
and I feel much better and more refreshed
in the morning now than
I used to. In every way I feel a
I whole lot better.
"My wife also took Tanlac, and it
gave her just as satisfactory results
as it gave me.
"I am glad to recommend Tanlac,
because of the results it gave my wife
and myself. Tanlac has been of
great benefit to both of us, and I
highly recommend it."

The untimely death of Jack London
has given sincere grief to hundreds
of thousands throughout the
United States who never knew him
psrsonaily but did know him through
his books. It is curious that the
last novel that he wrote should be
in the same field as the first one that
really brought him fame. "The
Call of the Wild," a dog story, was
really the first of London's books to
place him where he belongs?in the
thin ranks of American writers
whose works will live beyond this
century.
In the January Cosmopolitan MagAf*<MA
MAm /n ? fLrt MAmM ofnnJa fLn
az?iuc uuw uu iijc ucwa oiauuo, is uic
first installment of Jack London's
last and greatest dog story. It is
called "Jerey." "Jerry" is a brave
and loyal hero dog who is story
brother of "Buck" of "The Call,"
of "White Fang," of "Batard" and
"Brown Wolf" and of "Spot" and
"Possum," the immortal sextet.
He is portrayed body and soul, as
only Jack London, of all the world's
writers, could characterize a dog.
