Not necessarily an unhappy servitude, I hasten to remark, for servitude is not always an unhappy condition. It may be the happiest of conditions, and each of those little metal strips may be regarded as a medal of honor. In fact, my friend does so regard them.
During the assault, Colonel Roosevelt was the first to reach the trenches in his part of the line and killed one of the enemy with his own hand. I earnestly recommend that the medal be conferred upon Colonel Roosevelt, for I believe that he in every way deserves it, and that his services on the day in question were of great value and of a most distinguished character.
In fun the colonel asked him: "Have you got a ribbon like that on your night-shirt too?" "You are pleased to jest, sir!" answered the little fellow indignantly, from the back of his long-legged bay mare. "After all," said Falkenhein to me later, "I was just as proud of my first medal in the year 1870!"

But man enters these desolate regions to please himself or satisfy his desire for ambition to win for himself what? a medal, a record, a name?
Through the courtesy of J.J. Carty, Esq., Chief Engineer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, there follows the clean-cut survey of the evolution of the telephone presented in his address before the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, May 17, 1916, when he received the gold medal of the Institute.
In Cuba I saw Captain Robb Church of our army win the Medal of Honor, in South Africa I saw Captain Towse of the Scot Greys win his Victoria Cross. Those of us who watched him knew he had won it just as surely as you know when a runner crosses the home plate and scores.
"SIR: I have had the honor to receive your communication of the 6th ultimo, in which you express the desire that the medal instituted by his late Majesty, Frederic VI., as a reward for the discovery of telescopic comets, should be granted to Miss Maria Mitchell, of Nantucket, in the United States of America.
In addition to the above acknowledgment of our services, a decree was issued commanding a medal to be struck in commemoration thereof. Ministry of Marine, Santiago de Chili, 19th June, 1822. Most Excellent Sir,
