Oft n I find myself agreeing with Lhe old chap who said: "It is so very lake to look back half a century, and nvn moro than that-anJ llc;l11 pK'aä" int occasIons and events of great moBt nt' that 1 rather enjjy l;eii;s uM-" a s ;f !t wprp oniv i.ist year, hut month yes, as if it were only yesterday 1 connected with Tort Meyer, and above ughter was a beautm j oung lady, a great favorite with all of the young officers, who married one of the lieutenants of the colonel's regiment. The lieutenant became General llollon Richardson at the end of the war, and now resides at Seattle. The son was 14 years of age when his father's regiment was in camp at Arlington, and so fascinated by army life that ho daily begged his father to let him enlist. The father had beea a soldier in the Mexican war. Realizing that the war then go.ng on would be a long and hard one, he refused his consent until the last year of the groat struggle, v.htn the youngster hurried to the front near Petersburg and became a member of his father's old regiment, then serving its second three-year eni listment in the Iron Brigade. He was a little chap, even then. I saw him In the ranks, a private, fighting like a veteran in one of tho battles to the left of Petersburg in General Grant's closing campaign a few days before Appomattox. The next time I met him, thirty-seven years later, he wa3 in the Philippine islands as chief quartermaster of a department, and I was chief paymaster of the other department. He went to "West Toint soon after the Civil War and served in the cavalry until 1S91. when he was transferred to the quartermaster's department. His last service before retiring was as chief quartermaster, Department of the Lakes. I can see the rosy-cheeked lad as he mingled with the soldierä of the brigade forty-eight years ago, and now find much pleasure in saluting the veteran brigadier general who has just gone to the retired list, having reached the age of 64 Genera; William M. Robinson, Jr. The only son of General Robinson is Lieutenant Edward W. Robinson of the Thirteenth Cavalry, a young officer of promise, a worthy son of a father who served his country In two. wars and a good many Indian campaigns, and a grandson of a soldier who went through the Mexican war and who was the leader of a most gallant regiment and for a time commanded the Iron Brigade of the West In the Civil War. President McKinley commissioned the younger Robinson, then a second lieutenant of regulars; a captain of volunteers and he was assigned to the Thirty -fifth Regiment, which was organized at Vancouver Barracks. Washington. One day a couple of young captains of that regiment came to my quarters with their pay vouchers. "Robinson? That Is a familiar name. We had a Colonel Robinson and.hl3 son in our brigade, and the son Is in the regular army; both had blue eyes, like myself." The youngster smiled and said his grandfather and father were both soldiers. That Is the way I met my old brigade commander's grandson and my regular army companion's son. The other captain was Captain Karl Tanner, son of the famous Corporal Jim tanner, who fought at Bull Run until he lost both legs and lamented hi3 misfortune becaus he could not fight any more, a past commander-in-chief of the Grand Array of the Republic, Pension Commissioner, and now a valued federal officer In Washington. This reminds me that one of the delights of my later service was meeting the sons and grandsons of men who cut a figure in the war of the '60s, splendid soldiers of sires who fought on both sides In the' big war. "I am glad to see you saying a good word for the veterans of the Confederate army," said Colonel Charles W. Mott. His military title come3 from service on a Governor's staff, but he was a real soldier In the Civil War, beginning at 12 years of age and serving until the end of the war. For years after completing his education he was a traveling man. and went very generally through the South. lie told me this story, which Is worthy of cold type: "Some of the best soldier meetings I ever attended were In the South with old Confederates. Those people showed a disposition to he friendly and fraternal very soon after the war. Among the many good friends I made was a four-year soldier in the Cont?derate army Danied Dan Malone of Texas. Like myself, he was a traveling man. One evening he said: 'Mr. Mott. I am going over to a little town to-morrow to attend a meeting of my comrades, and I want you to go along.' I told him that thry didn't want to see me, a Yankee soldier, and I guessed I wouldn't go, but lie insisted and I went, and I have been glad ever Bince. That was in the late '70s. There wan a large gathering of soldiers, hundreds of. them, und among the speakers was Dan Malone. He made as nice and patriotic speech as I ever heard in a meeting of Union soldiers, and he closed by saying: 'Gentlemen. I brought with me to-day a Yank2? soldier, my friend, and I am going '.o I ask him to talk to you.' ' At that moi ment a tall, raw-bonod fallow stood up land said: 'Mr. President, before Tie ! talks allow this old Johnnie Reb cavali rvman to dismount and shake hands I with him.' That was allowed, and I then Malone remarked: 'You'd better ' all form in line and pass in front of ! him, and we will all shake hands with the Yank. shaking so well as I did down there in Texas with thoso young men who had fought on the other side. One chap said: TVe haven't got anything against you at all. You beat us good and square; now it is our country as it is you all's.' Another spoke up: Yes, but we thought we were right, ami I guess if you all had leen down South when the war came you would have been a Reb instead of a Yank.' I look back upon that reception as one of the pleasantest events of mv.

cling man in the South I never met other than the most kindly, cordial treatment, and yet they all knew I was in the army that helped to make their Southern Confederacy impossible. I guess if the North knew what a great, big. rieh, progressive portion of the nation the South has become, what au enterprising, up-to-date, patriotic people live down there, and how proud they are of being citizens of this great republic, we seldom should see any signs of a continuance of the Civil War feeling such as have exhibited themselves in a few quarters in the last several tr.ont lis." Lieut. Col. J. A. Watrous. in Chicago Record-UeraM. "Mnryland, My .Alnrylnml." From .Mrs. Burton Harrison's "Recollections of a Virginia Girl in the First Year of the War," we quote the following as to the origin of some of the Confederate war songs: "It was at this time, after a supper at the headquarters of the 'Maryland line' at Fairfax, that the afterward universal warsong, 'My Maryland,' was set a0o:it upon the tide of army favor. We were sitting outside a tent in the warm starlight of an early autumn night, when music was proposed. At once we struck up Randall's verses to the tune of the old college song, Liudger Horatius' a young lady of the party from Maryland, a cousin of ours, having recently set the.ni to this music before leaving home to share the fortunes of the Confederacy. All joined in the ringing chorus, and when we finished a burst of applause came from some soldiei-3 listening in the darkness behind a belt of trees. Next day the melody was hummed far and near through the camps, and in due time it had gainedl and held the place of favorite son the army. Xo doubt the hand-organs, wpuld have gotten hold of it; but, from first to last during the continuance of the Confederacy, those cheerful Instruments of torture were .missing. (I hesitate to mention this fact, lest it prove an incentive to other nations to go to war.) Other songs sung that evening, which afterward had a great vogue, were one beginning 'By blue Patapsco's billowy dash,' arranged by us to an air from 'Puritan!,' and shouted lustily, and 'The years glide slowly by, Lorena,' a ditty having a queer little quivering triplet in the heroine's name that served as a pitfall to the unwary singer. 'Stonewall Jackson's Way came on the scene afterward, later in tho war. ChnfT In tlie VIokalnirK Trent-he. During the siege there had been a good deal of friendly sparring between the soldiers of the two armies on p'eket and where the lines were close together. All rebels were known as "Johnnies," all Union troops as "Yanks." Often "Johnny" would call, "Well, Yank, when are you coming Into town?" , The reply wa3 sometimes, "Ve propose to celebrate the Fourth of July ther'?." Sometimes it would be, "We always treat our prisoners with kindness and do not want to hurt them;" or, "We are holding you as prisoners of war while 50U are feeding yourselves," etc. The garrison, from the commanding General -down, undoubtedly expected an assault on the Fourth. They knew from the temper of their men that it would be successful when made, and that it would be a greater humiliation than to surrender. Besides, it would be attended with severe loss to them. The Vicksburg paper (which we received regularly throughttue courtesy of the rebel pickets) said prior to the Fourth, in speaking of the Yankee boast that they would take dinner In Vicksburg that day, that the best recipe for cooking a rabbit was, "First catch your rabbit." The paper at this time, and for some time prior, was printed on the plain side of wall paper. The last edition was issued on the Fourth, and announced that we had "caught our rabbit." Century. Mow rant Told of I.re' Surrender. Mr. Hall, to whom Grant dictated part of his memoirs, says of the General's manner when he dictated the story of Lee's surrender: "He showed much feeling and stoiped frequently as If trying to select in his mind the kindest phrases possible when speaking of the Confederate officers. Of ' Iee he speaks in warm terms both as a soldier and a man. All through the memoirs General Grant ha3 told characteristic stories. Several of them are about Lincoln and about Sherman's march through Georgia. Sometimes he would tell a first-clas3 war story to -J 1 to be in the 1 somebody who happened room, and would not allow me to tako it down. He said, however, that ho thought his book ought to have amusing stories here and there in order to prevent the historical parts of It from being dry." I AVlllf Young men often make the mistake, when they start on an important undertaking, of leaving open a way of retreat if ihings go too hard, says Orison Swett Marden. in Success Magazine. No one can call out his greatst reserves, do the greatest thing possible to him, while he knows that if the battle gets too hot he has a line ! of retreat still left oien. Only when there i3 no hope of escape will an army fisht with that spirit of desperation which gives no quarter. Many a great general in his march on the enemy has burned his bridges behind him, cut off his only possible retreat, for the bracing, encouraging

r 4.'THE AMERICAN ACCENT. An KnclUb Writer Free III Mind on the Subject. "The American accent," wrlte3 a contemporary correspondent, "Is far less Irritating than the cockney dialect, and It would be well for us If the former, which is at least musical, could be substituted for the cacophonous patois of our east enH." As. a matter of fact, we think that the cockney accent has a certain number of real admirers, but what we wish to call to our readers' minds particularly is that America has It3 cockney, so to speak, precisely as we have. People in Kentucky have a rather burrish way of speaking, and ( they loathe and detest the fruity twang which overwhelms New England. The westerner, again; is responsible for the dialect which was supplied on the English boards by stage Yankees. Whether you acquire the American accent or not depends on the length of time you remain In America. Englishmen who stay in New York for protracted periods preserve their native cadences Intact. It Is the man who pays a flying visit to the United States who comes back and always says "nop" for "no" and "yep" for "yes." Once we met a man who had returned from' a week's stay In Boston. He sai he had heard it was easy to acquire the twang and finally exclaimed, "Waal, stranger, I guess It may be dead easy for some, but not for Blank Z. Asterisk," meaning himself.

M POINTS OUT SOU PEBiL

Declares (irowth of Sentiment Is One of Hardest Questions to Be Solved. TAKES SHOT AT INSURGENTS. President Lauds Republican Party in a Speech Where It Was Founded. In his speech at Jackson, Mich., President Taft proclaimed socialism as the greatest problem that confronts the American people", the issue that is soon-, to come and that must be skillfully met. " By its history, he declared, the Republican party had shown itself capable of dealing with the great questions effectively and wisely, and he predicted that the American people must soon determine whether they sliall trust the same party with the solution of "that problem than which we have had 110 greater in the history of the country." Mr. Taft spoke with great earnestness and his remarks, coming as a reiteration cf a brief reference to socialism in his speech at Ada, O., seemed to impress his hearers deeply. By many his words were taken as framing an issue for the coming campaign. , The president disclaimed , any purpose of making a partisan address, but the occasion of his visit was the unveiling of a bronze tablet commemorating the organization of the Republican party "under the oaks" in 1S54. and he could nöt refrain from a comparison of the party with its opponents which was not altogether favorable to the opponents. Mr. Taft also Vletlared that popular government must be a government of parties, and in this connection there was a passing hint at insurgency. The president declared that unless individuals are willing to sink minor considerations ito the will of the majority in a parly, there would come a rule by groups. "We have to have parties In a re-, public," he said, ."and party govern ment means that a majority or minority unite to support certain principles of government and to put them in force and agree that they will yield up their views on details and principles of less importance and unite on the treat principles and follow the party' in the course of which, by a majority vote, it lays down as the proper course to take. "Vnless you do that, you are going to have a government by groups, by parties less than majorities, and the Lord knows where your government will be or how much it will accomplish." President's YIetv on Socialism. The president's reference to socialism came at the conclusion of a brief history of what the Republican party has done. "For the future." he said, "I shall say nothing, because you would say I was making a political speech. All I can say is that the Issue that is being framed as it seems to me is the issue with respect to the institution of private property. There are those who charge to that Institution the corporate abuses, the greed and the cor ruption that grew out of those abuses, the unequal distribution of property, the poverty of some and the undue wealth of others, and. therefore, say we will have none of it and we must have a new rule of distribution that for want of a better name, we shall call socialism. , "On the other hand, It is contended that it is not the institution of private property that should be abolished, but only that the time has come In which it is necessary to lay; down pertain rules restricting and regulating the use of that private property which shall not deprive the world of individual effort, hut which shall still keep the law and the opportunity to use private property under such control that these abuses may be wiped out and the boon of Individual effort still be left to us. "Now, my friends, that presents a difficult problem that I am willing to admit we have not solved, and the question which the country will have to determine, after all. Is. which party has shown sufficient skill and effectiveness In dealing with great issues, which party can be trusted to solve that problem, than which we have had no greater In the history of the country. "This meeting is not a partisan one," said the president in reviewing the history of the Republican party. "It is historical. What I mean by that distinction is that the Republican party has lived long enough, has taken parts distinctive enough In the growth of this country to be treated historically and judicially and without the fervor and without this partiality of partisan speech. "The Republican party was born of a moral Issue. When the civil war became necessary, with the sad, but the long headed Lincoln, our responsibilities were assumed, and we carried through that war as a party. It is true that those who had been Democrats united to help put down the war, but the organizing force, the responsible power, was the Republican party. ' Party's Stroit 1'oln.. "One of the characteristics of the Republican party Is its ability to do things. Now I do not say that as an idle boast, but If you can point to a party in England or a party in the United States that has had issues to meet that the Republican party has met and that has met them with the success and effectiveness of the Tenubllcan party, I would be glad to have you name It. It Is true that the time seemed to 'produce tne man for 1... Hit every emergent, um iwum mat man, ojganlzed to hold up his hands, was the Republican party. . "It is said that Grant saved the country. It is said that Lincoln saved the country. I should be the lat to detract in the slightest from the reputation of either of these men. but neither Lincoln nor' Grant could have accomplished what they did unless there had been an organized force behind them which gave them the meats by whlch the future was worked out and the rebellion was suppressed. "And now I could go on and point out the other issues, which this party met is the result of the civil war the work of reconstruction, the meeting of that insidious doctrine of greenbacklsm. Then came the free silvershall I call it a. heresy? well, I will

call it a theory by which we were to pay cur debts by cutting those debts in two. "And then we had tb is?ne that was thrust 01. us by the Spanish vv.ir. We were going to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba. .?t up Cuba r.s an inde1" nucnt nation and move away. Well, we hd hardly begun before we found ourselves 10.000 miles away over in the Philippines. "We have been twice to Cuba. I hope we will never have to go again. But it only shows that the running of a government is the meeting of great issues and what you need in command is an organized force that has shown itself able to meet those Issues and to have the effectiveness and skill and the energy to meet them with credit and that is what the Republican party has done down to this."

ROME'S APPALLING MISERY. Commrndnfore Iloni' Ylvl.l lure of Abject Poverty. Here is a tragic picture of the misery of Rome by the great archaeologist Conmiendatore Doni, the New York Times says: "The pigsties dug out of the rocks in thj? Via Flamlnia, the inside niches and the outer buttresses of the Aurelian wall, the remains of the Temple of Claudius and of the Circus Maxim us, the foundations of the Temple of Venus and Rome and the vaults behind the Basilica of Maxentius have been invaded by a gypsy race of troglodyte instincts. "In the tufa cellars, beneath the stone vaults, between the pilasters of such walls as the pickax has spared, shut in with pieces of ld tins and fragments of boards, live whole families of shameless and half-naired creatures with their dirty offspring, trained to steal Tire wood, .break street lamps or turn cartwheels for a halfpenny. "While all around Rome, on tho banks of the Tiber and Anio, on the heights of tiws Via Cassia or Via Prenestina, there are, still unoccupied, uncultivated lands and deserted pastures; while the banks and institutions of credit capitalize their interest; while, in spite of the rise in rents, the revenues of the commune decreases, wasted in millions upon works which are only harmful all this time these houseless wretches, in the horrible promiscuity of their asphyxiating cabins, in the dank darkness of their cellars, are multiplying ever more precocious recruits for the country's prisons. "A systematic arrangement of existing tramway lines could easily be made to open out new suburbs, where each family would have the means to breathe and earn its living.

THE VORACIOUS TUNAS. What Happens When They Meet a School o( Flying Fish. One time at Sar demente we sighted a feeding school of tuna, an exhilarating sight. A flying fUh weighing a pound and a half on more would start from the water and soar an extraordinary distance, nearly out of sight, but every inch of that flight I knew was covered by a big tuna keeping his place just beneath the flier and ready to seize it the moment it fell Into the water. This rarely failed. The moment the fish began to drop the tuna would spring at it like a tiger, turning and tossing the spume into the air with a splendid andelectrifying rush, a maneuver that was repeated all over the blue channel. The sensational charge meant that a school of tunas had discovered a school of its natural prey, flying fishes. At once the lust for blood and food was on, and carnage was the rpsult; I have observed some curious scenes at sea, but never, have I seen fear so forcibly expressed as by a school of flying fishes, exhausted and at the mercy of the voracious tuna3. I have had them gather about my boat and cling to 113 keel as closely as they could, while the air was full of leaping tunas and soaring fish. At such times when a school of sardines is rounded up the fishes are so terrified that men have rowed up to them and scooped ' them In by the pailful. Outing. An Unnatural Conclusion.

Rather significant vegetation under the circumstances, for, curious as to maiden circumstances, candor compels me to admit I listened. The bride In prospect cooed her bliss soulfully into her neighbor's ear, but through an opening in the leaves I could observe that the latter bit her lip now and then and did not appear enthusiastically joyous ,or congratulatory, as warranted the occasion. But the innocent cooing and amorous gurgling did not cease. "And to think, to think," quoth she, "that such heavenly bliss as fell to my lot might have escaped me forever! Dear Bob! Did I ever tell you he had proposed to me twice?" Then the unsympathetic auditor assumed an air of indifference. "Didn't you hear him the first time?" she inquired, with raised eyebrows.
