ffThore will toe no dancing the old year
font tonight, as the first day of the new
week is the last of the dying 1899. But
Monday is not a hard day on Which to
make a beginning, or at least it should
not be if there Is anything In habit. How
ever, tt will be hard to form good resolu
tions this New Year's day, for who cares
to make resolutions toward the end of
anything? And how nice 4t will be to take
a tine fresh start, just twelve months
lienee with the dawn of the new century.
Jt is to be hoped that this year will see
the close of the wars now going on In
Africa and the Philippines, and that next
January flVst there will be more meaning

wards men” anthems. The week has been
a particularly gay one with almost every
variety of entertainment, from Christmas
trees to a boating party. Fortunately the

their usual Christirias good time, and will
be rushed with entertainments in these
last few daya before they return to school
and college. The two brilliant weddings,

LAWTON UNDER FIRE.
Some Incident!) of His Career Down
in Cnba.
From the Springfield Republican.
Tiie Second Regiment served through the
Santiago campaign in the division com
manded by Gen. Lawton ,and many of its
members, especially Col. Clark, have some
very p easant and Interesting reminis
cences of him.
Col. Clark was with him constantly dur
ing the week after landing on Cuban soil
at Daquiri on June Zl.
He found Lawton a free, frank, fearless
man. capable of bearing great fatigue, and
wilh a bulldog tenacity, which accounted
for his success. He was a good deal of a
diplomat as well.
When the troops first ashore,Clark
was called by Lawton and given command
of the First Brigade. He was with him
constantly the first day. It was extremely
hot, and the general, in common with all
the remainder of the army, had to ad
vance on foot to Slboney. Lawton was a
tall, heavy-boned man, with a frame
strongly muscular and almost entirely
free from fat.
The heat of the day (old on him, how
ever. and he was covered with dust and
Inspiration. The next day the division
want imo Slboney, and as they entered the
general encountered Castillo, in charge of
the division of Garcia’s army.
The Cuban was on horseback, and cloth
ed in a spotless white suit, made a strik
ing contrast to the hot, weary, grimy
American general, who stood beside him.
Before the Cuban general came up to
them, Lawton said that he intended to
make him a compliment, and this he did
in a very easy manner, congratulating him
on the way which his men had driven the
Spaniards out of Slboney, although, as a
matter of fact, they had practically noth
ing to do with it. The Cuban took the coni
plim nt in earnest, and was extremely
pleased. This incident, Clark thinks, is il
lus ratlve of Lawton’s disposition. His
tact was wonderful, and as soon as he
su r ce?ded Shaffer in command of the de
par.ment he immediately resumed friened
ly relations with Gurcia, where his pre
decessor had had nothing but disagree
ment.
On the day of the San Juan fight Mai-
Whipple was seated leaning up against a
tree, during a comparatively quiet time,
and Lawion came up and sat down beside
him. The men began a discussion of the
question of nervousness under fire. Law
ion sai l that he never was in such a posi
tion without feeling considerable of it.
Whit p e would not admit that he was
troubled at all. Suddenly a bullet struck
Just btslde them on the tree against
which they were leaning, scattering bark
about in a most alarming manner. Whip
p'e, who tells this story on himself. Jump
ed about two feet Into the air. Lawton on
the contrary, remained, gave not the hast
sign of alarm. "Yes.” he said, dryly, 1
notice you are not nervous.’’
