Time passed, as passes time with com
mon souls
Whose thoughts and wishes end with
every day;
For whom no future Is whose present
hours
Reveal no looming- shade of that which
was.
But Memory Is Immortal, for she comes
To ma, from heaven or bell, to me, once
more!
As birds that migrate choose the ocean
wind
That beats them helpless, while it steers
them home;
Bo I was this way driven I chose this
way
Of old my dwelling place, where all my
race
Are -buried. At first I was enchanted
here:
Impossible appeared the pall, the shroud:
And In my spell, I trod the grassy streets.
Where in the summer days mild oxen
drew
The bristling bay. and In the winter
snows
The creaking masts and knees for mighty
ships.
Whose hulls were parted on the coral
reefs.
Or foundered in the depths of Arctic
nights.
I wandered through the gardens rank
and waste.
Wonderful once, when I was like the
flowers;
Along the weedy paths grew roses still.
Surviving empire, but remaining queens.
My mood established by the slumbrous
town
(Slumber with slumber, dream witb
dream should be)
I sought a mansion on the lonely shore.
From which, his feet made level with his

Saved a Vessel.
Springfield (Mo.) Correspondence to
St Louis Globe-Democrat: Mrs. Sarah
Eversol, an old lady of this city, is
trying to secure a pension for saving
a government vessel from capture in
1861. Mrs." Eversol then lived at Com
merce, Scott county. Mo. On Decem
ber 29, 1861, the rebel general, Jeff M.
Thompson, captured the town of Com
merce and a portion of the Federal
garrison stationed there. The Missis
sippi river was then thronged with
boats in the government service, and
the City of Alton happened to be due
at Commerce on an upward trip about
the time the rebels entered the place.
Gen. Thompson bad his eye on the
rich river prize as soon as the boat
came in sight, and began to post his
men behind some ricks ot cord wood in
order to capture the steamer when it
should reach the landing. All the
women had been ordered to leave the
river bank, but Mrs. Eversol refused
to go away, and prepared to signal the
approaching vessel. She took a posi
tion close to the landing and waved
her handkerchief in warning to the
boat as it steamed up toward the con
cealed enemy. The signal was not un
derstood, and the boat continued to ap
proach the landing. The steamer had
rounded to, and the deck hands were
getting ready to throw out the gang
way, when Mrs. Eversol shouted at the
top of her voice, "Don't land! The
rebels have captured the town!" Then
the captain of the vessel saw the dan
ger, and began to back away from the
landing. The rebels opened fira on the
boat and riddled the pilot house with
bullets. No one on the vessel was hit
by the fire of the rebels, and the City
ot Alton steamed back to Cairo.
The story of Mrs. Eversols' loyal
'deed spread among the rivermen and
Federal officers, and soon she had more
than local fame. After the capture of
Fort Donelson, when Gen. Simon B.
Buckner was brought up the river a
prisoner, Mrs. Eversol went on to the
boat at Commerce to see the distin
guished captive. The rebel general
had heard ot the Union heroine, and
showed her particular attention.
, Several years ago Mrs. Eversol, who
had become a widow, made an applica
tion for a pension, basing her claim on
the service rendered the government
In saving the boat from capture. The
proof of the war incident was made
out and placed in the bands of the con
gressman from this district Before
the matter could be Introduced in con
gress all the papers were lost. The
preparation of the proof had cost the
widow much time and considerable
money, and she was very unhappy on
account of the misfortune. Mrs. Ever
sol has just passed her 75th birthday.
She is poor, and an effort has been
'started to revive her pension claims.
Many ot the witnesses whose evidence
could once have been had to prove
the story of the saving of the steam
boat from the rebels are now dead,
and the woman fears it will be difficult
to establish her claims.
Iaspnsvlve Cerentoalo.
With full military honors, in the
presence of President McKlnley and his
cabinet, and a multitude of people, the
bodies of the 33C dead herces who gave
their lives for their country in Cuba or
Porto. Rico during the Spanish-American
war, were consigned to their last
resting place in Arlington cemetery,
where repose the remains of thousands
of the honored dead soldiers and offi
cers of the civil war. The bodies of
the Spanish war dead were brought
to New York by the steamer Crook. In
order that they might rest forever In
the soil of their s Ive land.
In accordance with the direction or
the president every honor, military
and civil, was shown to tho nation's
heroes. The government departments
and the federal coorts were all cloc?d
at noon and the flags over the govern
ment buildings, barracks, navy yard,
and the forts along the Potomac were
half-masted.
The military escort comprised all
the artillery troops at the Washington
barracks, a troop of cavalry .from Fort
Myer. a battalion of marines from the
navy yard.and the entire national
.gnsrd ot the District of Columbia. Col.
Francis F. Guenther. of the Fourth
artillery, had command of the troops
aad charge ot the military ceremocie3.
The day was perfect The sun blazed
from a cloudless sky and the scene In
the historic cemetery overlooking the
Potomac river and the white walls of
the nation's capital was profoundly Im
pressive. The site selected for the in
terment Is one of the most beautiful
in the cemetery. It is in a direct line
about oae-half mile south or the old
Lee mansion on the top of the slope
toward the river. Here in parallel
lines were the newly made graves with
the flag-draped caskets containing the
.bodies of the dead soldiers at their
sides.
About the graves were formed the
military in Imposing array while in a
group stood the president the stem
bers of his cabinet and other distin
guished functionaries of the govern
ment Back and around these was the
vrst concourse of people, while all
aboat through the trees towered glit
tering shafts and monuments reared to
the meatory of the distinguished, dead
of previous wars. The custostary vol
leys were fired, taps were sounded, and
military dirges were played by the
baads. The religions services were
very simple. There were no addresset
or eulogies. The committal service ol
the Episcopal church was read by Port
Chaplain Freeland, of Fort Monroe,
and in order that the soldiers who died
as Catholics might be buried In conse
crated ground, at the request of Cardi
nal Gibbons, the consecration service
oC'the Catholic church was conducted
by Rev. Joseph F. McGee. of St Pat
rick's church, who officiated at thr
burial of Gen. Garcia.
Warfare far Teats.
Thomas Moon, aa Englishman, ar
rived home by steamer Tartar fronr
the Philippines, where he has been foi
two years superintending a plantatior
for a company in the old country. Ir
transacting his business Moon traveled
all over the Philippines. He says:
"I saw the rebellion and the causes
that led up to It and knowing the
temper of the natives am convinced
that the Americans will, by superioi
force, overwhelm the populous centers
of the islands and thus break the re
bellion, but there will be mountain
warfare for years. The natives were
able to kill dozens of Spanish soldiers
by luring them into ambuscades when
they were out on pillage. This 'guer
rilla warfare is sure to cost many
American lives, and should be avoid
ed by peaceable arrangement The na
tives of the Interior are wild savages,
and I know of cases where men and
young boys were beheaded by their
countrymen because they acted as
guides for Spaniards.
""I visited the insurgent camp in the
middle of February and talked with
Aguinaldo, having met him in connec
tion with the Spanish rebellion months
previously. He was heartily tired of
war with the Americans and was dis
posed to make peace, but assured me
that if necessary he could fight for a
long time. Even with the close guard
Dewey put on him steamers were
bringing him arms and supplies from
China all the time to ports on out-of-the-way
islands, and from thence they
are distributed. The heart of the mat
ter is just this: The great majority of
the natives are savages, who, smarting
under Spanish misrule, swear ven
geance on invaders, and they will keep
up the warfare for years. They con
sider the Spaniards had no right, after
they were driven out, to sell the coun
try to the Americans, I would much
rather see the latter in power for the
sake of the protection, for when I once
protested against cruelties practiced by
tbe Spanish on my men the governor
wrote: 'Please keep quiet or you will
be shot That is to much for an Eng
lishman or American, either."
Rath for Peanloa,
The pension office is being almost
overwhelmed with applications for
pensions now being filed by soldiers
who served in the war with Spain. The
demand is beyond all expectations. The
regiment which has achieved the dis
tinction of having the largest number
of applications for pensions thus far
is the Thirty-fourth Michigan. The
number of pension applications so far
received from this regiment is 380, or
over one-fourth of the enlisted
strength of the regiment The second
place belongs to tbe District of Colum
bia regiment, which has in 350 appli
cations. Then follow the Thirty-third
Michigan, the Eighth Ohio, the "Presi
dent's Own," as it is called, and the
Second Massachusetts. The number ot
pension applications from the Second
Massachusetts, which is the fifth on
the list, is 317. Seventeen officers of
the staff of the District of Columbia
regiment are among the applicants for
pensions.
Of all the regiments mentioned the
only two which were under fire were
the Second Massachusetts and the
Thirty-fourth Michigan. The Second
Massachusetts had a number killed,
and the Thirty-fourth Michigan had
four men killed at Aguadore bridge,
and probably a dozen wounded. The
principal cause upon which pensions
are asked is malaria.
The pension office officials say the
rush for pensions for those who served
in the Spanish war is very remarkab'.e,
in view of tbe fact that, up to 1882,
there were a number of regiments
which had served all through the civil
war which did not have, all told, 100
applications. It is the belief of the
pension office that the pension attor
neys are largely responsible for the
large number of pension application.'
which have been made.
Colonel Esbcrt-
Col. Egbert, who died fighting the
Filipinos, was a very brave man, and
for over 40 years had been a soldier.
He first fought the Indians years ago
out West. He fought in the civil war,
and was wounded there. He was in
the famous charge of San Juan Hill, in
Cuba, and was wounded there. It was
at first reported that he was killed,
but this turned out not to be true, for
he got well and came home to see his
family. Then he went to Manila to help
Dewey, and last Sunday he was shot,
dying in the way a soldier loves to
meet his end, while leading his sol
diers into the thickest of the fight.
War is not all glory, for there are
many, many aching hearts for every
deed of bravery. But if it were not for
such men as Col Egbert this would not
have been the great free country that
it is today. Standing over him, Gen.
Wheaton bared his head and said:
"You have done nobly."
What a grand thing it would be If
we could all live so that when we came
to die someone could say that of us.

Haw Tarletlas at Cata.
We believe the ordinary farmer
should give a good deal of thought to
the varieties of corn he grows, aad
that it will pay him to experiment ia
a small way with new varieties, says
Wallace's Farmer. After soma axperi
ence he will be able to cross intelli
gently for a special purpose from year
to year and get about what he wants.
Corn originally was a semi-tropical
product coming, we believe, from Mex
ico. It has been growing in a wide
range of climate, and has developed a
great number of varieties. In fart, It
is more variable than any. other grain,
varying not merely with the climate!
but with the soil, and in selecting need
corn it is not safe to reach over a wide
range of latitude. If you do, the com
will be confused, so to speak, and not
know how long to grow nor when to
ripen and get in out of the way ot
frost The farmer who is selecting
seed corn with the idea of grain pro
duction should select the variety that
will grow him the greatest amount of
grain, large ears, and as many of them
as possible. The farmer who is grow
ing corn to feed cattle in the shock
should aim to grow the greatest total
amount of food, which he will find la
a large number of medium-sized ears
and a finer quality of fodder the re
sult of thicker plantlngthan is justi
fiable when growing exclusively for the
grain. The farmer who grows corn for
summer feed for stock should select
a corn that is early and has a large
amount of leaves like the Evergreens,
and so on to the end of the type that
will produce him the largest amouat
and get in out of the way of frost It
should, therefore, not be an early va
riety such a3 the Northern grown vari
eties are likely to be, nor yet a late
one like the large corn from the South.
Wc think our readers will see the point
in this at a glance, and it should gov
ern them in determining on the varie
ties of corn to plant this year. One
thing we urge especially, that they look
out for their seed corn early, as in
large sections of the country the seed
is hopelessly damaged.
Aa Immediate and Permanent Pastare.
Wallace's Farmer: Mr. Frank Seck-.er,-of
Iroquois county, Illinois, writes
us that he has a farm in Harrison
county, Iowa, on the Missouri river
bottom, that he has no pasture on
same, and that he wants one right
away that will become permanent later
on. The land is now in wheat stubble
and he wishes to know what to do. We
would first burn off the wheat stub
ble, then plow the land rather deep,
say five or six inches and turn the
weed seeds under. We would then sow
a mixture of oats, barley, spring wheat
and winter rye, taking about one
fourth of what would be a proper sow
ing of each, and at the same time sow
six or eight pounds of timothy, four
pounds of mammoth clover, four
pounds of common red, and if the land
is inclined to be wet a pound or two
of alsike, and give these the same cov
ering that would ordinarily be given
the grains. We would then sow seven
pounds of blue grass, mixing it with
sand or sawdust, so as to get an even
distribution, and harrow this In with a
light smoothing barrow. As soon as
the grains will furnish a full bite, we
would pasture and continue pasturing
until harvest time. The pasturing will
keep down the grains and give the
'grasses a chance, and with an ordinary
season you should have a fine stand
of clover when the grains are done. We
would then turn off the stock until
about September. If even then a half
stand of blue grass Is obtained itwIU
thicken up as fast as the clovers go
out This is rather full seeding, but
we presume our correspondent wants
a pasture that is worth something, and
thi3 is the shortest and easiest way to
get it
Home Market for Strawberries. In
the growing of strawberries in a small
way it is very essential to have a good
home market, where the berries can
be delivered fresh from the farm and
thereby secure an extra price on ac
count of their fresh and palatable con
dition. There is an opportunity to de
velop this market and largely increase
the home demand for berries if good
treatment is given customers and wise
action taken in the various parts of
the business. A correspondent of an
exchange lays down the following rules
in this matter, which we earnestly
commend to the attention of all grow
ers of berries for the home market:
1. Never sell any except fresh berries.
2. Give honest measure. 3. Use care
in grading your berries. The kind of
pickers you employ will often decide
whether you will keep or lose a cus
tomer. Ex.
Hauling Manure. When the snow
disappears and the ground is frozen is
a good time to get out and spread
upon the land as many loads of ma
nure as possible. Every stroke of
work done before the hurried season
of plowing and sowing will increase
the time for doing these things in a
workmanlike and satisfactory manner.
In our Northern latitudes the season
for doing farm work is so short that
it requires the utmost diligence to
avoid being distanced in the race. In
the South, corn may be planted from
March till June, with fair prospects of
a crop, and this indulgence on the part
of Mother Nature often leads to a con
summation of the idea: "Don't put off
till to-morrow what can be put off till
the day after!" Farm, Stock and
Home.
Aeration of Milk. There is hardl)
a place in "Which milk is used that will
not pay to cool and aerate it at the
same time. Such milk brought to the
creamery or cheese factory, if all the
patrons would practice it, would' show
at once in the increased quality of the
product and the price. The difficulty,
is that there are so many patrons who
don't believe in any improvement if it
is going to cost something to set it at
work. Yet, wherever there is a fac
tory or creamery that has prevailed on
the patrons to practice aeration and
cooling, that institution stands high in
the price received for its product Ex

Our readers who are interested in
puzzles should secure one of the map
puzzles sent out by the Chicago Great
Western railway. It is a map of the
United States on heavy cardboard and
cut up into states, each state and ter
ritory being on a separate piece. They
are nicely colored and show the cap
itals of the different states, as well as
the large rivers. The puzzle consists
in putting the different pieces to
gether so as to form the map of the
United States. It makes more of a
puzzle than would at first be sup
posed and will be found interesting
as well as instructive to the older
.people as well as the young ones. In
cidentally it is quite valuable as
showing the comparative size of dif
ferent states, and this will be a mat

be sent to our readers if they will send

Booker T. Washington's recent ad
dress before an "exclusive white men's
club" at Birmingham, Ala., captivated
the hearers. Says the Birmingham
News: "For an hour and a half the
speaker held the audience, and held

than any other speaker who has been
in Birmingham in years. The force
of truth was in him, and that is the
secret of his power."
Shopping has really become a pro
fession in New York city, and the
professional shoppers manage to "rake
off" big incomes annually from a per
centage allowed them by the big stores
in which they spend the money or
wealthy women who employ them.

just as big a field to amass wealth in
the metropolis as there is for a hust
ling man. Thousands of them are do
ing it, and doing it well, tco.
A generation ago there were only
two colleges in the United States
drawing interest on funds reaching
$1 000,000. Now a Chicago college asks
an addition of $9,000,000 in a single

itve funds amounting to So.800,000. A
single individual within a compara
tively few years has bestowed upon
it $7,426,000. Harvard's interest-bearing
funds last year were $8,963,053;
Yale's, $4,500,000; Columbia's $9,500.
000; Cornell's. $6,446,818; Girards,
$15,048,146, and Leland Stanford, Jr. s,
