There were 1.217 trials of enlisted. pen
and five of general prlioner. of which
trials fifty-one were acquittals. General
Grant says:
It Is my belief that fully 73 per cent of
thTc trials were due to the u.e of bad
liquor, dispensed to our soldiers by per
rons who conduct dns of !ce In the

HIS LAST TREE
VV IX WELLINGTON COUXTT.
Lp near Ueulph. Wellington County. On
tario, where Mr. Hll th t es.fler icmfa
a tree that bears a placard. ncro-s Its half
cut body, with the inscription. "The last
tree chopped by James J. 1 1 ill."
liuck of this there Is yet another story.
It was Mr. Hill's enrliot ambition to
study for the medical profession. He
attended Kockwell Academy, a Quaker
FchtHil. where h was carefully lnstructnl
in mathematics and Latin until his fif
teenth year. Then his father died and
he fcur.d employment In the country.
Or.eday a traveler sto;td at tho house
to take dinner and left his hors at the
gate. Mr. Hill saw the animal was tied,
and carried it a bucket of water. When
the stranger came out he mat. so pleased
wtih the boy's thouchtfulness that he
tcwd him a newspaper published !n Min
nesota and called out gravely as he went
away:
"Go out there, young man. That country
needs younKsters of your spirit."
The box- read the paper carefully that
night. It was a call for homeseekers and
settlers and gave Klowituc accounts of
great opportunities. The next morning h
auoke with a resolution. He walk-d to
tho tree where he had left off work the
day before, and. with a blow from his axe.
exclaimed. Tve chopped my last tree."
And then he started for the United
States and decided to settle In St. Paul.

the Northwest territory.
"Hill's folly" proved a venture so paying
that In ten st on louils and dividends on
stock art: as unfailing as the reasons.
From the humolest vocations tn the de
tails of transportation ho has carried his
enthusiasms and original ideas and made
for himself Its highest living authority.
Hii theory ha always been that as a
business enterpris'j a railroad can pay
only as it fotera and encourages the pat
ronase by which It live, nnd he has never
preti n!-d that h wax urged by a spirit
of phllanthrupv in his study of tho mate
rial Intertill of the settler.
He has advocated the education of the
farmer and producer along their special
lines: that larger crops. Iietter cattle and
more pro-lure should be raised, and in do
ing this the road would have more ton
nage. In view of this he has organized
an industrial department In his railway
systtm that sends out special trains at
various times of the year, equipped with
the best talent, to explain to the farmers
along the route how ln-st to select their
sed. plant their crops and breed their cat
tle. As a result he has scientifically Increased
the jleld per acre very largely: has raised
the grade of the cattle, which Insures
property and a better class of citizens.
He raw the evil of devotion to a single
crop and the superior condition for stock
raising in this new country, where the
native varieties were of low grade, and he
scattered among the counties along his
roads tlood.-d cattle and hogs. Imported

J. HIIL Then there was other infor
mation. When he came to the United
States he brought with him the lusty body.
!he fresh color, the frugal Instincts and
Hood principles of his Scotch-Irish an
cestry. He has something to add to these,
however a certain blind confluence hi bis
right and ability to go anywhere. He bad
been schooled to economize. He knew by
Intuition how to acquire.
Mr. Hill Is a largo man. with a massive
head and brew, and the eyes beneath are
steady, cool and brown.
There Is not an Irresolute line, from
the. ton of his unequivocal gray head to
the sole of his stout boots. lie Is quiet
and grave by temperament and reserved
from principle. He Is an Intensely hu
man man. fond of comforts. Impatient of
conventionalities, has a simple, sturdy
dignity of manner and a rug-d self-ap-preclation
that Is sometimes called West
ern. He talks deliberately and fluently and
he thinks like lightning. He Is keenly
alert, and yet has tho prescience of a
dreamer, for he -plans the future and
molds with an unerring estimate.
He Is a man of medium height, but
broad ami powerful of build and straight
tn his bearing. He Is full-faced and ruddy
ami has a big. strong nose, commen to
men of force and action. His neck shows
the fighter, his eyes Indicate a centle na

and human. Is by far the roost striking
feature of a face which' Is grave and sad
