Wksou are his seniors, and. to *a

at 'iJS. Wiien the army was marshalled
lor the war with t-patiu *W the
roajior generals of the line, except
Wade, and n<St fewet than ? hundred
subordinate officers, wore older thau
Miles. <
Threescore jeirs ofr tin tige approach
ing it i<> a common 'one for American
leaders. When Winlield 8cot' stood
uponThe dome of the capital of Cha ipultcpeo,
directing his battalious iu
the attack on the City of Mexico, he
'coulct look hack .'14 years to the day
,of his first battle wound. And Geo.
'Zichary Taylor, who tuiiiated the
dVIexicao war with all the fiery ardor
'of youth, was 02 when he orosed the
Rio Grande at itie head of the Aineri
can army, marching to ltueua \ lata
and Muuterey. And it was only last (
year that the worl I applauded the
pectacle of l>ewey, in his < lat year, '
aruMhing 4>jMtnish sovereignty in the
Thilippiiic^. hutlte\waa simply bring- I
in? tix fruit, late iu. life, lessons that j
learned back in the sixties,
sailing under Farragut, then a voter- 1
,an of m-re than thre.escore, having a
record yf almost 60 years of active <
yaifar? behind him. i
Headers ofkistory know that these i
martial veterans have not pJayed the i
role ot conservative counsellors mere- '
ly while ^ouu^er men bore iH?. Kmni i
of battle. h arragut was oJ when ae t
was lashed to tho shrouds at the bat- t
tie of Mobile Hay. Juniors about him t
shouted warnings that the flagship was <
loading tho line of vessels to a neat of i
submarine torpedoes, but with au excusable
oath, considering what it has
done for the American navy, the' '
gray-headed admiral cried out-:
'\Darun the torpedoes! Go ahead!"
.And the old hero didn't stop with
were words, but immediately dr>ve
his wocden flagship upon the low forward
deck of the ram Tennessee in an
effort to sink her with superior weight,
although he,)cD6w-lhat his own vessel
must go dowq in the wreck.
' la the aaiue spirit Gen. Zachary
Taylor acted when his juniors appealed
to hicu to fall back at Buena Vista,
for the safety of hie army. "No,"
said he firmly, 'Til novcr pass my wounded
alive." He stayed ou the
hard fought field and wa* rewarded
the next mornirig by seeing that the
Mexicans had retreated in a root, ]
though they'outnumbered his troops
lour to^ono. '* ?
:ficott displayed equally aggrcssiv?
<v>igor when the American army lay in
front of the forbidden heights of Chap
(ultejiec. After meeting with a bloody
reception atJAlolioos del liey be asked
the younger generals about him to
suggest a plan for the capture ol the
City of M^xioo, which lay beyond the
heights. All of them said that the
army should go around Chapultepee
?"fliVoid" it was the military term ?
andlkpproach the city from the west
side. Atler each had spoken and
given his reasons Scott ended the
council by saying: "Gentlemen, we
will first storm Chapul tepee, then look
tt> the city gates on the west side."
Chapnltepec was stormed and won and
the city fell without any defense of
its gates worthy the name.
Tt ia interesting to contrast the
ages of Uil distinguished leaders in
the eivil frar. Gray hairs were on
the side of the Confederates in those
coipiqpnders who fought brilliant
/campaigns., When the conflict began
Grant was 39, Burnside 37, McClel
Jan, 35; Sherman, 40; Meade, 46
^looker, 46; Thomas, 45; Kosecrans
,42 ; ,JJuell, 43 ; Sheridan, 30. Of th<
fo'romost southerners I^ee was 54 ; A
Sidney Johnston, 58; Joseph E

stsfl'officer, Charles E. Tayman, men 1
tinned in the official ?eports as tlio I
breathless messenger sent by Gen. 1
Kent to summon the Seventy-first to 1
the front, awed his hreuthlessness to a
race after Eiscuin to tell him that the
command of the brigade devolved
upon him. Liscum was 58 and hadn't
much the start of Taytuao at the hank
of the river, but the youngster nearly
gave out before he could deliver the
message-. Almost instantly the old
man disappeared into t'-e tall grass,
wounded.; but gray hairs were still in
evidence on that part ot the field.
Major Ellis and Major Auman of the
Thirteenth charging abreast of Lis
cuin's colored troops, were war veterans
hard crowding three ecoio. They
went down before San Juan block
hotue was retched. Then Col. E?ver*H
ot tlio Ninth, a gray beard who had
fought in that regiment under Grant !
as far back as 1862, took command of
the victorious line.
Meanwhile, just to the right of
\V ikoff's brigade, Hawkins, a soldier
who began his carreer in 1852, was
leading on the Sixth and Sixteenth,
under Egbert and Theakor, grayhearde,
who were to tall outside the
breastworks. Hawkins crossed the
trenches and was shot the next day
while repelling the Spanish counterassault.
Next to Hawkins. Wheeler
was the oldest man on the firing line,
' and how valiantly ho battled until
tho victory wan won has been told,
i It should be noted that with one
exception every regiment, battalion
i and squadron of the regular engaged
i at Ban Juan went into action led by a
t veteran of 1861, and the 10 generals
i and field officers who were victims of
- Spanish bullets in that battle were
; closo to 60, while some, notably Haw
i, kins, had passed the threescore mark
s by a couple of years.

A Promise to n Mother.
While drinking whiskey was fashiou
all about hint, Abraham Lincoln
never forgot his dead mother's re quest
to close his lips against intoxicants.
O ice when a friend criticised him for
bis seeming rudeness in declining to
to lest the rare wines provided by their
host, urping as a reason for the reproof,
41 There is certainly no dangoi
of a man oi your years and habits becoming
addicted to its use."
4,i mean no uisrespect, John," answered
Mr. Lincoln, "but I promised
my precious mother only a few days |
before she died that I would never
use anything, intoxicating as a beverage
and 1 consider that promise as
binding today as it was the day I gave
it."
"There is a great difference between
a child surrounded hy a rough class of
drinkers, and a man in a home of refinement,"
insisted the friend.
' Hut a promise is a promise forever,
John, and wneu made to a mother it
is doubly binding," replied Mr. Lincoln.?Youth's
Temperance Banner.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We
koep a bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy, and as a resu't
we never have to send away for a
doctor and incur a largo doctor bill,
for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
never fails to cure. It ia certainly a
medicine of great merit and worth.?
