SIDNEY HERBERT'S LETTER
Facts of Interest to War Veterans and Others.
Pine Crest Villa. Maitland. Fla-. Aug.
13. —-To-day the Florida Grand Army
of the Republic delegations are on their
way to the great national encampment
in Boston. Some go by land and many
this year by water from Jacksonville
and Savannah. (Jen. Henry Mareotte of
St. Augustin*-, the department com
mander this year, has been very active
in his efforts to have Florida make a
fine showing. My own post —the Hen
ry B. Whipple—of Orlando, will have
half a dozen members in the parade.
It is a post that is always well repre
sented at department and national en
campments. I see that Savannah gave
the Mayor's convention an au
tomobile ride, but Boston will put the
“Forest City” in the shade. She has
400 automobiles engaged to take the
G. A. R. on an excursion over the
route of Paul Revere's famous ride to
Concord and Lexington, passing many
places of historic interest. It will be
the one great feature of the encamp
ment, as thousands of old soldiers nev
er enjoyed an automobile ride of any
kind.' As E. W. Kinsley Post, the
friend of “Old Joe” Wheeler, has in
vited a lot of Confederate soldiers to
he its guests during the encampment,
the Blue and the Gray will be happily
mingled.

he did not sign it, not being a mem

appointed Secretary of War In 1800
and Secretary of State in September of
that year. lie was never a Secretary
of War, but on May 13. 1800. near the
close of President Adams' administra

and in January, 1801, appointed chief
Justice.

and his maternal grandfather, Roar
Admiral B. H. McOalla, U. S. N. The
San Francisco papers print a fine pic
ture of the baby and predict that he
may live to be an admiral or a gen
eral.
•'The Sunset,” a handsome monthly
magazine published by the Southern
Pacific Railway, at San Francisco, In
its August Issue, has an elaborate ar
ticle on "CaliforniH's Army Camp,”
from the pen of Maj. Cassius E. Gil
lette. U. S. A., the engineer officer
formerly In charge at Savannah. But
Georgians will be more interested in
a poem and a memoriam, both illus
trated, of the late Dr. Joseph Le Conte
of Georgia, poet, philosopher, arul
scientist, whose memory is highly hon
ored by the people of California, where
he ppent his last days and where "The
Le Conte Memorial Dodge,” 8n the fa
mous Yosemite Valley, perpetuates his
name and fame. "His life work re
mains." says "The Sunset" wrlter,“and
the world is sweeter with his memory.”
• • • And this leads me to speak of
railroad magazines in general, for
they have reached that degree of ex
cellence in illustrations and literary
productions, as well as mechanical
make up, which enables them to chal
lenges the attention of the best class
of magazine readers. "The Sunset,”
and "The Blue Book” of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway, and "The Four
Track" magazine of the New York
Central Railway, and "The Seaboard”
magazine of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, all give much space to his
torical matters, especially of a mili
tary character. They are magazines
worth reading and preserving for fu
ture reference.
I was interested in the article in last
Sunday's Morning News on "Presiden
tial Campaigns of To-day and Half a
Century Ago,” as it carried tne back
in memory some sixty years or more.
I was a mere boy then, yet I was wide
awake during exciting political cam
paigns. How well I remember the
first one of those campaigns—the Hnr
riston and Tyler—ln which my whig
father took an active part. The log
cabin arid the hard cider barrel were
conspicuous In the parades. C. A.
Stephens of my native state of Maine
is a vetaran writer of the Youth's
Companion of Boaton. and In the Aug.
4 issue he has an Illustrated article on
early presidential campaigns In our
stale, especially the exciting "Fremont
and Jessie” and that of “Buck and
Breck.” There were campaign songs
and verses in those early days, and
some of them were neither refined nor
polite. Cine of them called Fremont
the "Gray Mustang,” with a ”du-da,
du-da, day.” But my father being a
great friend of Hon. Edward Kent, I
took a fancy to the forcible verse of
a son:
“Maine's gone hell-bent.
For Governor Kent,
And Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.”
Whatever may he said of the late
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay of
Pennsylvania, as a politician, his rec
ord as a soldier in the Civil War was
heroic. He was colonel of a regiment
in the battle of Antietam, but soon aft
er was stricken with typhoid fever.
When he rejoined his command just
before the battle of Fredericksburg, the
surgeon pronounced hitn unfit physical
ly for active service and he resigned.
But the battle came on before he got
away, and he became a volunteer aide
to Gen. Tyler, and so conspicuous was
his gallantry that he was awarded a
congressional “medal of honor.” When
the surgeon told him he was a fool
to think of going into that battle, he
simply replied: “I had rather die a
fool than live a coward.” His whole
life was in one sense, a warfare, and
yet he never quailed before the stout
est enemies. * * * The American Boy
Monthly of Detroit, Mich., has organ
ized the boys of America, and under
Editor William O. Sprague, had a big
American Boy Day” celebration at
the World’s Fair. Letters were read
from Governors of all the states, and
this is what Gov. Terrill of Georgia
aid: “The hoys of America should
mderstand that they have had be
pieathed to them through blood and
sacrifice, an unsullied patriotism, a
!<her legacy than was ever left to
outh by all the powers of monarchy
nd titled classes, in the history of
ivilization; the heritage of sovereign
y. They should he educated in that
readth of patriotism which is not
ound by sectional lines, and which is
ever to be crushed by sectional arro
anee and oppression. A patriotism
hat flows unimpeded from the foun
lin of the fireside, to purify, ennoble
nd make strong the broad unstemmed
can of American liberty.”
Col. John Witherspoon Dußose of
Alabama, has written two elaborate nr
icles on the “Diplomatic History of
■Southern Confederacy.” Discussing
he shortage of ordnance stores in 1861,
he says: “Citizens and prudent sol
ders thought Gen. Beauregard, with
i competent staff, must have had a
more serviceable officer, to have sent
ihroad on so vital a responsibility.”
This refers to Lieut. Caleb Huso, who
was born in and entered West Point
from Massachusetts and graduated No.
7in the class of 1851. He was assigned
to the First Artillery and served a year
at Key West, Fla., then was assistant
orofessor of chemistry, etc., at West
Foint from 1852 to 1859. After that he
spent two years in Europe, resigning
as a first lieutenant, Feb. 25. 1861. Du-
Roso says lie was drill master and
commandant at the University of Ala
bama when appointed purchasing agent
in Europe for the Confederacy. Now, if
this record be correct Huse was “off
with the old love and on with the new”
in double quick time. But my purpose
is simply to call attention to the re
markable fact not often referred to,
that the Confederacy passed by emi
nently qualified Southern officers and
appointed Northern born officers to
highly responsible positions. Cooper of
New York was made ranking full gen
eral. and Lieut. Huse of Massachusetts
purchasing agent in Europe. Then
came Pemberton, Ruggles, Whiting,
French, Gorgas, Frost. Shoup, Ripley,
Trimble, Maclay, Gardner, Stevens,
Gracie, Tiuncan, Smith, Leadbetter,
Blanchard and other Northern officers,
to be made general officers in the Con
federate States Army. Whenever the
Southern soldiers or civilians objected

nativity and associations. President
Davis always promptly stood sponsor
for their loyalty to the Confederate
cause. Pemberton suffered most from
this suspicion, and was the most un
fortunate.
The death of ex-U. S. Senator Geo.
G. Vest, of Missouri, removes from
earth the sole surviving member of
the Confederate States Senate. But,
as 1 have before stated in these let
ters. his term of service was very
short. After being In the Confederate
Congress as a representative for three
■terms, near the close of the last term
(Jan. 12. 1865.) he was transferred to
the Senate and served until the sur
render. Judge Augustus E. Maxwell,
of Florida, who served as senator two
full terms, w'as also a survivor until
about two years ago. I think Ihe
only survivors of the Confederate
House of Representatives are Pugh,
Ralls and Jones, of Alabama; Hir.tm
P. Bell, of Georgia; Rev. Dr. S. H.
Ford, of Kentucky; Campbell, of Mis
sissippi; Colyar and Menees. of Ten
nessee; Pryor and Goode, of Virginia,
and Postmaster General John H. Rea

survivor of the Confederate cabinet
officers. Georgia's sole survivor of her

he is still active and honored in pub
lic life. Thirty-two of his distinguish
ed associates in the Confederate Con
gress have passed from earth. Judge
Mark H. Blanford, of Columbus, being
the last, ‘and yet Col. Bell is spared
to be the sole survivor. * * Since
writing the above I have seen several
notices of Senator Vest’s death that
contain errors. He did not serve a
year as Confederate senator, only about
four months. Nor did he, in 1881, “go
with the South and become a Con
federate senator.” He was first in the
House of Representatives of the three
Congresses, going to the Senate near
the close of the war. He and the late
Senator B. H. Hill, of Georgia, are
WHERE CORN IS KING
Amazing Celebrations in Honor of the Prairie
Monarch.
Kansas City, Aug. 13.—The enthusi
asm of the people of Kansas, Mis
souri and Oklahoma for King Corn
is contagious. It is easy to under
stand. Corn has paid their mort
gages, fed their cattle and horses, has
even kept them warm in times of coal
famine. This year's crop, upon which
the work of the harvesters is begin
ning, may not equal the records of
one or two years past, for the rains
and cold weather of ithe early spring
kept the farmers back in their plant
ing. but outside of the river valleys
a fair yield will be gathered, every
bushel of which, needless to say, will
be utilized.
The picturesque element in corn
production has come to appeal power
fully to Western imagination. Corn
is not only king, but a benign and
bountiful monarch. The poetry of the
prairies is epitomised in the Kansas
cornfield. At the sight of it even the
hard-headed farmer is apt to become
sentimental.
An AiiotheoMis of Corn.
There is even growing up in this
region of the West an amazing apoth
eosis of the popular cereal. The cele
brations in honor of King Corn which
are becoming common are somewhat
like the old world festivities in ‘honor
of the jocund grape, anew sort of
bacchanalia, suited to the tempera
ment of a staid Anglo-Saxon and Teu
tonic population. For a week or more
after the corn crop has been gathered
in, both city people and country peo
ple in Kansas and Western Missouri
indulge in fetes.
The women appear in costumes fash
ioned from corn husks and tassels.
Enterprising shopkeepers deck forth
their windows with corn products. The
restaurants serve with milk and syrup
all possible delicacies made from the
corn kernel. Orators are secured by
the local business men’s associations
or boards of trade to sound the praises
of the all-puissant king. The railroad
companies help on the celebration.
The entire community goes corn mad.
And, maddest of all. the jolly old
rogue of a monarch himself often ap
pears in effigy, seated on a com cob
throne, arrayed in robes of husks and
silk, his arms and hands shaped of
cobs, his long beard fashioned of wavy
silk and a corn-cob pipe in his mouth.
Even his face is of papier mache made
from the corn stalk.
Folk Stories of the Corn Conntry.
Furthermore, there is accumulating
throughout the corn belt a wealth of
folk stories, always somewhat improb
able, connected with the growing of
the corn. One of these tales—presuma
bly a variant on the Jack-and-the-
Bean-Stoik yarn—is to the effect that a
Kansas boy went forth one warm
morning in August into a cornfield and
foolishly undertook to climb one of the
stalks. He got on all right, but the
rapid growth of the stalk carried him
into the air faster than he could climb
down. The attention of his father and
brothers was attracted to his predica
ment and they made an effort to cut
the stalk. The corn, however, contin
ued to sprout upward so rapidly that
nobody could strike the same place
twice, so that his sorrowing relatives
had to leave the boy to his fate. The
last that was heard from him was that

referred to as men who were senators
of two republics. But there was a
wide difference. Hill was elected over
Tombs to the first Confederate Senate,
and served to the close of the war,
while Vest was simply appointed Sena
tor near the close of the war and served
1 only a few months. Nor was Vest the
j “sole survivor of the Confederate gov
i eminent” to go into the United States
Senate. Postmaster General John 11.

St'ates Senator from ISS7 to 1891. All

for six weeks he had been up there
with nothing to eat but raw com and
that during that time he had cast
down four bushels of cobs from which
he had gnawed the kernels.
A Bit of Kansas Fiction.
Another bit of Kansas fiction tells of
a traveler from the East who shortly
after leaving Kansas City asked the
porter how long it would be before the
train emerged from the tunnel through
which it was passing. “Dis ain’t no
tunnel, sah,” replied the porter. 'We's
jes passin' fru de Kansas corn belt and
de tall Stalks shuts out de sun. Yo'
won’t seen no mo daylight for 200
The uniform excellence of the corn
crop as well as its marvelous growth is
also one of the proud boasts of Kansas
people. A leading store in a town near
Kansas City last summer had a corn
display in one of its windows of which
the most spectacular feature was a
lone “nubbin” bearing the following
card: "This curiosity is called a nub
bin and it is the only one we have
been able to find in Eastern Kansas.
This specimen was secured, in one of
the suburbs from a stalk which grew
out of the mortar in a brick wall. Its
surroundings and the fact that the
stalk was twice .struck by lightning as
it towered 'above the building probably
account for the dwarfed appearance of
the ear.”
Cron Stories.
Then, of course, there is the annual
crop of stories which are told every
summer of the necessity in certain lo
calities of using stepladders in harvest
ing the com. One yam to which cur
rency was given by the newspapers a
year ago stated that in certain Kansas
townships the stalks grew so tall that
they brushed against the 'telephone
wires and interfered with the service
by grounding the circuit.
If these stories are somewhat to be
doubted, the solid facts about the im
portance of the corn crop are not to he
in any way discredited. The magni
tude of the corn fields of the West
and Southwest staggers the imagina
tion. The total yield for the United
States in 1902. the banner year thus
far, was 2,244,176,125 bushels—two bush
els each, roughly speaking for each
inhabitant of the globe. On a single
farm at Tarkio in the northern part
of the state of Missouri—Hon. David
Rankin’s great bonanza corn planta
tion, the largest in the world —about
15.000 acres are annually sown in In
dian corn. Here one may look upon
a single field of more than 6,000 acres.
Corn Makes Cities.
Corn may make a metropolis. The
marvelous expansion of Kansas City
in the past two decades is due largely
to its position in the center of the corn
growing region. The hog, the steer
and the horse are fed by King Corn.
Time was when Cincinnati was the
great packing center of the country,
but the hog passed westward to root
in the bigger cornfields and Chicago
became the great packing town. Now
Kansas City is a close second and Cin
cinnati has practically gone out of the
packing business. Meantime the West
ern Missouri metropolis each year
strengthens its position as capital of
King Corn's realm. It has become
practically the financial headquarters
of Kansas and the chief shipping point
for corn products, so that its growth
reflects the prosperity of the whole
great corn belt—a growth that is evi
denced by such facts as that the Kan
sas City metropolitan street railway
company's earnings show an annual In
crease of about 10 per cent., the direc
tory a similar Increase in the number
of names, and the bank clearings such
an expansion that, though twenty-sec
ond in population, the city stands ninth
