"Seated with his hack to the other
players and constantly smoking a big
cigar, ho is apparently able to visualize
and to remember twenty-two different
pictures, in each of which thirty-two
chessmen are being changed aoout in
an Infinite variety of comb' nations.
Thero is seldom ariy hesitation on Mr.
Plllsbury's part In recalling thj picture
presonted on any given board. Tho
referee calls the number of the board
and tho movo made by tho player
thereon and instantly the reply comes
back from the master, with a request
for tho move on tho next board.
"Before Plllsbury's time th? record
for blindfold play was sixteen games
played In two days by Zukertort. In
Chicago in 1900 Pillsbury played six
teen simultaneous blindfold games in
four hours and fifty-five minutes, win-'
ning twelve, drawing throo and losing
one." Rochester (N. Y.) Post-Express.

According to the "fearful and wonderful" Republican logic
flags a;j snapping too,
(But who is this that's asking for
his chum?)
The cannons have been polished and
the stains are wiped away,
Tho fog of smoke has lifted and no
more is drifting gray,.
And we can see the sun that wasn't
shining yesterday,
(Is that a dirge that some one tries
to hum?)
The orders speak of glory, and of how
we won the fight,
(But who has seen the little drum
mer boy?)
'Twas anybody's battle till we crtim
plod up their right.
(Yoi'd think he thought his drum
a Christmas toy.)
You
see the harness glisten with the
polish on the straps
You wouldn't think these follows had
been making over maps
Unless you chanced to notice that the
ranksare showing gaps.
(His mother said he was her only
They've sheathed the clanking sabers
and tho flags again are furled.
(But Where's the drummer boy and
his drum?
They say a day like yesterday will In
fluence the world.
(The boys all wonder why h-? doesn't
come.)
It's strange that some one's speeches,
or the scratching of a pen,
Can send us out to kill or to be killed
'by other men
And when one war Is over they will
talk and write again.
(The little drummer's hands are
white and numb.) . "
There'll be an arch of welcome for
the boys when we return.
(They found him with his drum,
upon the sod.)
But there'll be women waiting, and
their hearts will always yearn.
(They laid his drum in with him,
did the squad.)
It's all a. part of glory all the ban
ners they will wave.
And all the ringing speeches made in
honor of the brave,
J And all the songs but glory hardly
ever finds your grave.
(They left the boy to glory and to
God.)

Consolation
One day General Wood attended tho
funeral of a friend and, waiting tor
the procession "to start, the inevitable
garrulous citizen stepped up to him
and remarked:
"Sad about poor Jones, isn't it?"
"Very," replied Wood.
"And yet," persisted the citizen,
''his pretty little widow doesn't seem
quite broken-hearted. I suppose her
composure is due to her pastor's as
surance." "Don't you believe It," said the gen
eral; "It is due to her late husband's
