PRESIDENT TAFT'S TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO MAJOR ARCHIBALD W. BUTT.
Major Archibald W. Butt was one of the heroee of the Titanic. He was President Taffs military aid. After
Major Butt'e death the president, with teare in hie eyes and faltering voice, made him the subject of one of the
most heartfelt eulogies ever pronounced over a gallant man, praising his manhood, his courage, his loyalty, his
'"Everybody knew Archie as 'Archie,'" said the president. "I cannot go into a box at a theater, I cannot turn
around in my room, I cannot go anywhere, without expecting to see his smiling face or to hear his cheerful voioe
in greeting The life of the president is rather isolated, and those appointed to live with him come much closer
to him than any one else. The bond is very cloee, and it is difficult to speak on such an occasion.
"Archie Butt's character was simple, straightforward and incapable of Intrigue. A clear sense of humor light
ened his life and those about him. Life was not for him a troubled problem. He was a soldier, and, when he was
appointed to serve under another, to that other he rendered Implioit loyalty. I never knew a man who had so
muoh self abnegation, so much self sacrifice, as Archie Butt.
"Occasions like the sinking of the Titanio frequently develop unforeseen traite in men. It makes them heroes
when you don't expect it But with Archie it was just as natural for him to help those about him as it was
for him to ask me to permit him to do something for some one for me. ...
"He was on the deok of the Titanio exactly what he was everywhere. He leaves a void with those who loved
him, but the circumstances of his going are all that we would have had, and. while tears fill the eyes and the
voice is choked, we are felioitated by the memory of what ho was."
Before entering upon military life Major Butt dleplayed high literary ability. The beetofh.sstor.es is "Both
Sides of the Shield," a splendidly written romanoe of love and war.

"Ana now, "Mr. l'ulmer," I heard her
saying, "ns a stranger to the wishing
stone It behooves you to approach it
reverently. There la no reason to tell
the others this, for they know the
legend and Its secret charms, but to
you. who Unow tt not and who come as
a Rtranger to tt. tempt not Its auger by
deriding It. even tu your thoughts, or
ItB Indifference by wishing for what
Is impossible. It was at this stone that
my great great grandfather wished for
his bride, and in less than a fortnight
they were wed. He enjoined bis soon
to b&h this spot before wooing the' wo
men of their choice, and It is a strange
fatalJty that all our family who have
not done so have gone to their graves
unloved old bachelors and the women
wBoTiuve QtHT3eTlTru8"our maids. Of
later years it has become the custom
for lovesick youths and maidens in the
town and county to seek it out and test
tta charms, and many a happy home
awes mure than we may imagine to the
legend which clings about this Ivy col
ored dial. The moment has arrived
when you can test Its power too."
Already I bad become a firm believer
in the wishing stone. Laying my band
on it and looking into the lovely eyes
of Ellen. 1 made my wish and added
a prayer tbat it might find favor with
the fates. After 1 had finished we
Joined hands again and made three
circles around the stone. Then all be.

the rollicking chorus of

for we strolled back somewhat slower
than the others.
"What did you wish?" I naked, but
she only shook her head and said she
could not tell.
"I wished that you" I got no fur
ther, for she gave a startled cry that
checked me before I could finish the
sentence.
"Don't-oh. don't!" she said. ' "You
have already said too much. I ought
to have told you not to tell your wish,
for if you do the fates become perverse
and mock you. If you even hint of
what you have asked in secret some
thing will happen to mar its complete
fulfillment, I nm sorry you spoke
about it at all," And I thought her face
grew a little paler.
I dared not spenk again, and we
walked on in silence and Joined the
others In the old oaken dining room.
Mr. Lamb asked the blessing, and the
girls sat down, while the men waited
on them and brought them supper.
After a merry hour we danced again,
and the Incident of the wishing stone
was soon forgotten in the frolic of the
old Virginia reel. Miss Ellen led this
old fashioned dance with me. and
many a pretty ankle was displayed
that night as toes were pointed and
courtesies made, and mnny a little
love scene, too, went on that night,
but 1 was too busy with my own af
fairs to watch what others did.
When the candles had burnt down
to their sockets and Mr. Lamb said
the band had struck, then began the
good nights, which lasted for another
half nn hour. The wagons were
brought round and the horses saddled,
and soon the whole gay company start
ed like a cavalcade. Long after they
had left we could hear them singing
through the plne.
Bud saddled bis horse and rode out
Into the night to think of so mo young
girl, I thought, but Miss Ellen said no;
that sometimes when bo became rest
less he would ride for hours and re
turn always with a brighter heart
and more cheerfully take up the bur-
cook again tomorrow. v
Before I could reach her side, for my
impulso.was to throw myself at her
feet and pour out my love to her, she
glided swiftly up the stairs.
Within the next week 1 received a
: faking out my writing pad and
throwing myself across the bed, I
wrote with an enthusiasm 1 had sel
dom experienced, if one has not feit

copy of the paper with my letter in it. In tt.d me t0 hod up 0Very detail
prominently placed on the tlrst page
and a note in the same mall from the
editor congratulating me on the excel
lence of It He told me to send one or
two more from Georgia and then to
push on and write up the bayou conn
ties In Louisiana. He liked the dia
logues and suggested that 1 give more
interviews with the farmers. I read
my letter in print, and it again struck
me that I had not made It clear to my
conservative readers that It was to the
sons of the antebellum, slaveholdlng
families that the south had to look for
its regeneration and renewed prosper
ity; that it was this element which
was rebuilding the fortunes in that
section and not the few men from the
north who had gone there to invest
money. If I dared to draw a picture
of the Buds and the Ellens of the
south how the people of the old com
monwealth would read the future of
this sunny land and appreciate the
struggle of its younger generation to
overcome the obstacles which tbey bad
inherited in consequence of war!
A fine sense of honor bad kept me
from making use of the life nt the
Pines as a basis for a letter, but I
longed to handle the subject as I saw
it and to make others see It through
my eyes and appreciate Its beauty.
Shut in my room away from t lie- Influ
ence of Miss Ellen, of Bud and ven
of the colonel, 1 argued tbat such a
letter could do no harm and might In
duce to much good. I do not hide from
as 1 saw It and to lend it color where
color might be lacking. Loving Miss
Ellen with a passion that absorbed me
then, 1 described her as a holy priest
might paint the Madonna whom he
worshiped and with the accuracy
with which the artist might put upon
the canvas the features of his wife and
children.
My blood ran more rapidly through
my veins as I sketched Miss Ellen in
bold relief and as faithfully described
her honest father and manly brother.
The names and the locality were con
cealed, but not more effectually than
the artist might bide the name of the
mother model who sat for the Ma
donna. One who had known the ur
Ist and his model would see iu the
wrap of the Madonna a shawl the wife
had worn for u score of years in the
humble neighborhood and In the In
fant Christ Ihe Idealized features of
the model's child. When describing
Miss Ellen and her family 1 felt in
spired aud uplifted and left uothlng
out which I thought would enhance the
letter as u picture. When I bail tinlshed
it I Ve:id It over carefully, altering not
a line, even milling here and there a
sentence which would lend one more
bit of color to the wlinlH.
With this letter I sent a note to the
editor tellini: hlin that I would re

prestige such a letter might give me
with my critics. The editor hnd com
plimented me on the first letter. What
would he not do when he received one
written with a pen guided by love and
every word of it poured from the
heart? If Miss Ellen loved me. I ar
gued, she would only rejoice with me
over my success. And then. too. she
might not see It. This last thought
brought a blush to my cheek, and i
started up, determined to show her
my letter and tell her what I contem
plated doing.
What evil genius led me to change
my mind 1 do not know. It might
have been the fates of the wishing
ttoue whom I bad angered by partial
ly revealing the secret I had confided
to them. But at the time I was pleased
to think It was a confidence I bad uo

Leonard Jlnrn of this city is
greatly puzzled to understand a
peculiar malady that is carrying
off .some of his cattle. Mr, Born
lias been pasturing a large num
ber of cattle on his place, north
west of this city, and among them
were a number of very line young
calves. These calves were not yet
a year old and were in the pink of
condition, and when Mr. Born put
them in to run with the rows they
showed no signs of sickness.
On a visit to the pasture last
week Mr. Born discovered one of
the young calves dead, but did
not think anything strange about
the occurrence. Monday he paid
another visit to the pasture and
was amazed to discover two more
calves dead, apparently
without any cause,. Mr. Born is
greatly preplexed as to the
trouble and has secured a veterin

From Wednesday's Dally.
Kvery tenth family in Nebraska
has an automobile. In proportion
to population I his slate had, on
Ihe tii'.st day of July, more auto
mobiles than any other stale in
the union, says the Lincoln Jur
nal. The listn'ct of Columbia
had one car registered for every
thirty-live people. Nebraska had
one for every forty-live of the
population, and South Dakota
very nearly the same, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine and New Jersey fol
low with sixty.
The number of machines de
creases rapidly down the list,
mountainous states in Ihe south
showing the smallest proportion
until Mississippi is reached with
one machine for each 1,000 peo
ph. In the total numbers of cars
registered on July i last New
York led with 92,407, California
followed with 78,003. Then came
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Iowa,
Michigan and Nebraska, the latter
with 28,791 on the books.
The registrations iu the first
half of the present year show that
Nebraska is buying new cars quite
as rapidly, all things considered,
as any other stale. This means
that the prosperity of this region
must be undiminished and that
the tin favorable crop conditions
that marked the early part of tho
growing season did not cause a
perceptible diminution in the con
sumption of the newest and most
