I( peace hns her victories ne less re
nowned than war, she also has hor hor
ron , as well as war, A recent report
of the Internal department mmle the
startling statement that railroad ffttnl
itios In the states last year had equalled
the number of killed In any of tho great
battles of the civil war. This Is but
one branch of the great chain of Indust
ries which result from civilization. Take
the numberless fatalities In the mines,
the mills and construction work and
the comparison will make war soera less
a crime from the y lowpolnt of mortality.
Even luxury and the refinement of
civilization, the theatre, may some
times bring forth horrors moro ter
rible than a pitched battlo.
Within a few days of each other, two
of the greatest lenders In the Lost Causo
passed to the grave, Generals Long
street and Gordon. Almost alone they
stood the last great Southern survivors
of the world's mlghtleht con 11 lot, and
though but thirty-eight years ago they
were rebels against their country, they
died not only loving the government
they once tried to overthrow, but even
rospoctod and admired by the north
against whom thny fought. Part of
this was duo to the generous chivalry
of their natures, which submitted to
the iqevltahle with the best of irrnce
But the respect which tho north new
almost Invariably pays to the 1 eaten
south is due to a deeper trait In the
English character : the love of bravery
and heroism, whether In friend or foe.
. The men whom these generals lod were
beaten, but not through cowardice;
they fought as few mon ever fought
beforo.
On a cold winter day several years
ago a tramp, with hair and board
almost as whlto as the snow which lay
upon his hat, came into our Banctum
sanctorum and asked for old exchanges.
As ho put . them In his ragged coat
pocket he remarked that they were to
be his pillow, sheet and blankot for the
night. At that time the old coke ovens
above town were in operation and in
one of the empty ovens, yet warm from
the drawn coke, he enjoyed a good
night's rest. It was such a pleasant
place in truth that abovo the oven door
he tacked a sien on which was rudelv
scrawled "God Bless Our Home." Like
most knights of the road, he stayed
day and then passed on.
This is just a glimpse of tho life of a
wandering man ; a man whom the world
condemns as a semi-criminal and society
shuns. The tramp docs not help sun
port the state and Is not a bonofactor of
man. The home and the hearthstone
are saored In America and the tramp
has neither this is his chief offense,
But the tramp is not necessarily
criminal. His habitations and his
cleanliness may bo ropulslve ; for that
ne must be condomned. But the prln
olple of his life, that of loading
a wandering existence, is not as bad as
it might seem. It is Hawtherne who
somewhere argues the error of men be
coming rooted to one spot and building
massive homes. These heaps of stone,
of brick and wood called bousos may bo
stumbling blocks in the path of human
happiness. Morbid influences, tho
tales of death and sorrow, crow around
every hearth and send their poisonous
moiancnoly on all that live around
after. How many men have tolled
life time, often in the race for sufilciu
money committing wrong which haunt
ed them after, only to build a gloomy
aarit-cnambored mansion for himself
die In and for his posterity to be miser
able In. After all, would it not be more
pleasant to return in part, at least, 1
the wandering life of our forefather.
This does not mean a return to barbar
ism, but rather a still higher mode
life than at present. The toloirranh
girdling the earth, and the
swift, luxurious, and convenient, have
made possible a traveling life without
separation from f rlondB. , That buco
life would be agreeable is proven
the love of continual visiting and travol
nown by people of refinement
wealth. Therefore the wandering
Knigni 01 me roau, outlaw that he is,
may only be the precursor of a new and
better way of living, when all mun.
cessantly mingling, shall become mora
fraternal, and nations, also mingling,
soau oeaoe to regard each other
enemies.
BEECH WOODSER IN OKLAHOMA.
Healthy Country,- Brosd Roads, Pro
ductive Farms, Corn Not Husked.
Doer Creek, Oklahoma, Jan. 4, 1904.
Editor The Star :
As T was starting to Oklahoma to
visit my son, J. O. Brenholu, whom I
had not seen for 18 yoars, my friends In
Hocchwoods, Jofforson Co., Pa., re
quested mo to write a lsttor to The
Star, especially my friends Alex Mo-
Clelland and George Burtop, and here
it Is.
I left New Bothlohem, Pa., at 9.00
m. Monday and arrived at Deer
Creek, Oklahoma, Wednesday at 9.00
m. via the B. Sc O. to St. Intls,
Missouri, then took the 'Frisco R. R.
to Oklahoma. I had a very nice trip,
only got a little tired riding night and
day a distance of about 1,400 miles. I
stood tho trip better than 1 expected and
whs feeling well when I got here. I saw
some very nice country along the road,
but think tho farmers a little dilatory
about gutting out their corn, as I saw
lots of it still unhuskod in the Holds.
Guess they are getting reading to plant
their spring crop for they are plowing
here now. The weather Is fine. I see
people going In their shirt sleeves, In
fact I shed my own coat next morning
after I got bore, was dressed to warm
for this country. It Is some colder to
day and a coat is all right. This la a
fine country, practically lovol and from
the appearance of the Improvements on
tho farms, a vory productive one. They
waste lots of ground bore on roads,
they are 08 feet wide and are good at
this writing.
Deer Creek Is a town of about 300
population, located In Grant county,
north-eastern Oklahoma. The people
hero all seem to have good health,
especially is this the caso with ray son's
family. I have sorao hopes of fleshing
up myself. My son, who, when ho came
to Oklahoma, only weighed 135 pounds
now weighs 194 pounds. Everything is
north, south, east and west, hete, as all
roads are on sectional lines and run
straight, a cross road every mile. Have
not boon hero long enough to go over
much of the country yet. Now if this
escapes the waste baskotl will toll you
moro of the country as I see It.
Yours Respectfully,

Death Prom Bright'! Disease,
Mrs. Benjamin J. Bykes, of T rout
ine, lister of Mrs. S. M. Gourluy and
Utor-ln-law of O, W. Sykes, of this
place, died at her home at 9.00 p. m.
Monday, January 4, 1904, of Bright'
disease, and was burled In the Evangel
ical Church cemetery at Troutvllle
Thursday afternoon. Deceased was 46
oars old. From the Punxsutawney
Spirit we clip the following:
Mrs. Sykes had been a sufferer fcr
about two years but ber malady did not
assume a dangerous character until
about three months ago when her family
physicians announced that her trouble
had deve oped Into a case of the dread
disease. Buffalo physicians had also
boon consulted but tbey were unable
to arrest its progress. Mrs. nykes was
then taken to Pittsburg and her ense
was placed in oh arse of an eminent
specialist who offered her much encour
agement, lbe disease, bowever, bad
pascd to tho Incurable stage and de
spite her courageous battle to retain
her health she grew gradually weaker
and on Monday began to realize that
the end was near, although she retained
consciousness until shortly before her
ueain. .
The deceased was a kind, gentle moth
er, a patient, loving wife and a devout
member or the Methodist Episcopal
church from childhood. Early In life,
owing to t he death of hor mother, she
was called upon to assume a greater por
tion of tho household duties necessary
for the rearing of a large family of
brothers and sisters. Through all those
years no sacrifice was too great for ber
to make, either In providing for tho
comfort ef those left In her charge or
watching by thebedsldoof a sick broth
er or sister. Just before departing this
1110 airs, ayaes caned ner nusnand and
family to her bedside and after bidding
them a last farewell and expressing the
conviction that she was going to a
brighter world she entered upon the
long last sleep peacefully."

THE STATE GRANGE.

Instances the children of the founders

ooo
Farmers' Institutes, good as they are,
can come to any otm place only once
year, and to most places even mere In
frequently, for communities must take
their turn. If you want it the grange
will be with you always. Every toplo
that Is appropriate for a farmers' Insti
tute Is equally so for a grange meeting.
Not only so but many subjects and
lines of work that are beyond the scope
of the Institute are properly whlthla
the grange. The farmer who either
wants to do good or receive good Is miss'
Ing his best opportunity if he stands
aloof from the grango.
ooo
Worthy Master tllll concluded his
address at Wllkesbarre with the follow
ing timely thought: "Let everyone
then do his full duty. Damp aeal, like
damp powder, has no force. We must
be a positive and an aggrosslve force to
bring the best results. The world ad
mires animation. Inaction and lethar
gy are suggestive of graveyard and
are repulsive to most people. Activity
along carefully dlgosted plans wins
both from Its own merits and also be
cause people are always ready to help
push the moving wagon while they
leave to tho mire the one that Is stuck
In the mud.
ooo
Agriculture was the primal Industry
of civilized man. It always has been
and al ays must be the cornerstone of
our industrial structure. Inasmuch as
it began when the world was young and
unskilled, It has long been regarded as
an occupation requiring llttlo knowl
edge and only primitive inothods. and
tho farmer has been paid accordingly
Public eentlmout, however, Is undergo
lag a change. The farmer himself Is
realizing as never before Hint scientific
principles underlie his business and
that even the mechanical part of his
work requires skill In the use of ma
ch I nery not surpassed by the workmen
In the factory. Thore are few places on
the modern farm for Markba-n's man
with the hoe. In the social and es
peeially In tho political field he bos a
most important part to play. The
grange Is teaching him to realize and
to fill his tr'uo position and when he has
fully learned his lesson be will seo to it
that he gets his share of the wealth h
produoes. ,

A Very Close Call.
"I stuck to my engine, although
every joint ached and every norve was
racked with pain," writes C. W
Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of
Burlington, Iowa. "I was weak and
pale, without any appetite and all run
down. As I was about to give up, I got
bottle of Electrlo Bitters, and after
taking it, I felt as well as I ever did in
my life." Weak, sickly, run dewn
people always gain new life, strength
and vigor from their use. Try them.

this terrible hour Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption turned despair
Into joy. The' first bottle brought
