Show THE OLD From The Final Peace. Dead, our communionship Is safe at last; We never quarrel now. or check or blame. Dead, in my heart of hearts I hold thee fast. For evermore the same. No trifles urge us to unlovely fretting. There comes no need of pardon or for- ' getting. Dead, I have wiped my foolish tears aw ay , And bi ought thee flowers, and stilled my jealous heart. Thou dost not leave me; even for a day, We are no more apart. But. oh! for one dear look into thine eye, One sudden meeting and enraptured cry! No more we disagree on trivial things. And turn aside with bitter, brief disdain; But. oh! for one long hour of difterings. One night of angry pain! I speak to thee and dream that thou hast heard But, oh! for one swift touch of hand, one word! Arthur L. Salmon. Fitz John Porters Statue. During the most tense period of expectation and speculation, as to the outcome of the peace negotiations between the Russians and the Japanese, the final touches to a monument, commemorative of exploits in war, almost escaped notice In Portsmouth. On Aug. 24 the last one of the panels for the colossal statue of Gen. Fitz John Porter, unveiled July 1, 1904, was placed in the pedestal. The panel is of bronze, 6 feet by 4, representing the emenys position from the runaway balloon, and portrays one of the most thrilling incidents of the civil conflict. Gen. McClellans army was beseig-InYorktown. Prof. E. T. C. Loew f the engineering corps, a practiced aeronaut and a great believer in the use of balloons for observation purposes in war, had made a number of ascensions, on many of hi9 trips being accompanied by Gen. Porter. It takes practice and experience to enable one to readily make out the topography of a country from a great Height in the air. The balloon was held by a silk cord r rope and was usually sent up a distance of about 2.500 feet. Porter had become an expert as an Dbservationist, but knew little of the practical management of the balloon. About 5 oclock in the morning of April 11, 1862, Porter decided to make an observation, and jumped into the car. The men were paying out the rope as usual, when suddenly It snapped and the balloon was free, with the general the sole occupant. He appeared over the edge of the car waving his hands fractically. shouted Prof. Open the valve! Loew. "Cllimb to the netting and reach the valve rope! Porter heard and understood. He climbed up the netting, but was unable to reach the cord, which was tossed around by the wind. Then he descended to the floor of the car again, unslung his field glass and coolly proceeded to take observations. This attitude of soldiery indifference to his own peril, this determination to make the most of his opportunity is the psychological moment" that the sculptor, James E. Kelly, has selected for his work. The incident is historic, and everything connected with its portrayal in bronze is depicted with that marvelous fidelity to minute details for which Mr. Kelly is noted. Mr. Kelly had several conversations with Gen. Porter, and also with Prof. Loew, concerning the uniform worn by the general on that occasion, the field glass used in making his observations and everything that occurred g ride through on that space. Gen. hair-raisin- Maine Soldiers Home. The National Home at Togus, Me, one of the best equipped and managed institutions of the kind in the United States, has a beer saloon attachment, which is well patronized, but the number of inmates who take advantage of the opportunity to drink to excess and perambulate over the home grounds is remarkably few. Gen. George B. I.oud of this city, while recently visiting a nearby town, was a frequent visitor to Togus and looked in at every department of that splendid home of 2,800 disabled and aged veterans, and, as a recert change had been made in the administration of that home, he was interested in knowing if the change had been for the betterment of the conditions there. Six of the veterans, who had served with him in the civil war, and are inmates of that home, and all of them whom he met, as well as many others, were of the one opinion, that Governor Richards, not only as a disciplinarian but as a man who had the interests of the veterans at heart profoundly, is eminently fitted for commanding officer and is giving better satisfaction than any of his predecessors all good governors, too. One or two happenings while General Loud was there, in the matter of the supply of potatoes and some cooked corned beef hash, and what was done by Governor Richards In both cases, convinced the general, and the inmates all from their general discussions, that nothing pertaining to the welfare of his large army of old warriors is likely to escape his notice and his prompt action. The people of the adjoining towns of Gardiner, Augusta, Hallowell and Randolph, according to the general, have a very high regard for Gen. John P. Richards, w'ho is an old resident of Gardiner and was formerly adjutant general of the state of Maine. He is now a member of CROSS-ROA- D Down Country Lanea, by Byron Williams Denies Apathy in Wisconsin. I have been hoping and expecting that someone else would reply to the statement made in speaking of the life and the services of the late Gen. Amasa Cobb, whose death occurred at Los Angeles, Cal., some weeks ago. I agree with all the kind things said about the grand old man who commanded two different regiments in the civil war, served a Wisconsin district eight years in congress, was chief justice of Nebraska, a banker and a citizen without blemish, but exceptions are taken to the claim that there was ape thy and hesitancy in Wisconsin, either in its legislature or among the people, in responding toPresident Lincoln's call for soldiers April 15. 1861. I think the writer must have drawn on his imagination, for in January, 1861, the legislature enacted a law authorizing the placing of the state on a war footing and giving the governor authority to call out, organize and equip soldiers in case of emergency. If I mistake not every republican and every democrat in the senate voted for this bill, and when the emergency arose, when President Lincoln asked for troops, calling upon Wisconsin for one regiment, in less than a week the services of a sufficient num her of companies were tendered to the governor to constitute four regi ments, and that, too, within a week from the date of the call. That does not look as if there had been apathy" or hesitancy on the part of the leg islature or the people, with a popula tion of 800.000, or as if it were nec essary for the legislature or any officer of that body to resort to a sense of duty in that vital emergency. 1 would not detract one iota from that which Gen. Cobb is entitled to, but as a citizen of Wisconsin and one whe enlisted and endeavored to get into that one regiment allotted to our state, I most emphatically contradict the statement that there was apathy and hesitancy on the part of the state authorities or patriotic citizens. Right the contrary is the truth. Ldeut.-Co- l. J. A. Watrous, U. S. A. Civil War Nurses Association.

The National Military Home at Mar ion, Ind., is to have a canteen. Buildings are being removed from the grourds for the site, and a brick structure is to be erected. Gov. Steele said that he did not know just how soon the board of managers expected to have the canteen in operation. The people of Marion have expressed some opposition to the establishment of a beer hall at the Soldiers' Home, but many think it is the proper thing, as it will regulate the amount sold to each member and will keep them off the streets after pension day and also prevent acciderts to old men.

I began to use Postum because the old kind of coffee had so poisoned my whole system that I was on the point of breaking down, and the doctor warned me that I must quit it. My chief ailment was nervousness and heart trouble. Any unexpected noise would cause me the most painful palpitation, make me faint and weak. I had heard of Postum and began to drink it when I left off the old coffee. It began to help me Just as soon as the old effects of the other kind of coffee passed away. It did not stimulate me for a while, and then leave me weak and nervous as coffee used to do. Instead of that it built up my strength and supplied a constant vigor to my system which I can always rely on. It enables me to do the biggest kind of a days work without getting tired.
