A HEROIC DEFENSE
Story of "The Last Cartridges"
and the French Marines. "
THE BATTLE AT BAZEILLES.
Commandant Lambert's Simple Report
of the Desperate Conflict With the
Bavarians That Was Immortalized In
De Neuville's Famous Painting.
A famous French battle" painting
called "The Last Cartridges." the work
of Alpbouse de Neuville, represents the
desperate defense of an old house at
Bazeilles by h handful of French ma
rines against great odds. Doubt hav
ing been cast upon the authenticity of
thix episode, the French government
has published the official report made
by Coiniuuiidnnt Lambert, who com
manded the detachment at Bazeilles.
The report is simply a plain, unvar
nished recital of the "events of a thrill
ing n nd heroic series' of engagements
in which undnunted bravery and reck
less courage were truly displayed and
which would furnish abundant mate
rial for a dramatist iu need of a text
for a stirring play.- This is the brief
story as it was recounted by the brave
commandant:
Lambert had been wounded by a ball
in the leg and was unable to walk more
than a few steps. With a few officers
and a detachment of bis soldiers, cut
off from the main body of the French
army, he took refuge in an isolated
house at the highest point In Bazeilles
and defended it against the Germans.
Firing from the windows and any
other openings that they could find,
the soldiers inflicted heavy loss upon
the enemy, who swarmed through the
streets of the town. They believed
that they would soon be rescued by
their own troops.
They stfll heard the sound of their
mitrailleuses and the detonations of
the French chassepots, which they
could distinguish perfectly well from
the sounds of the guns of the Bava
rians about them.
They did not know that these sounds
came from a French force as hopeless
ly walled in as they themselves were
and that the main body of their coun
trymen had deserted them.
At one time, seeing a chance for
their escape, -Lambert tried to send his
comrades away while he and a few
soldiers were to remain and fall Into
the hands of the enemy, but they re
fused to go. Meantime projectiles of
all sorts were raining into the old
house. Bullets perforated the doors
and windows until but little remained
of them. The building was entirely
surrounded by the Fifteenth Bavarian
regiment
A bombshell crashed through the
roof, bearing down with It several
men. Others were cut down by Vava
rian bullets. But the fight went on for
a long time, and the Frenchmen were
able to keep their assailants at bay.
At last, however, the ammunition
gave out As the last cartridges were
fired .the men, having heard the Bava
rians' demand that no quarter be given
those Frenchmen because of the heavy
losses they had inflicted, proposed to
issue from the building with charged
bayonets and sell their lives dearly In
a hand to hand conflict
But their commander, the wounded
Lambert, waited until the last car
tridge was fired; then he limped
through the door and confronted the
swarming Bavarians alone. He de
clared that if they killed him It would
be time for his soldiers to die. and It
was possible that he, their commander,
could make some terms for them.
As soon as he limped out and stood
with folded arms a dozen bayonets
were at his breast He would have
been killed in another instant If the
Bavarian captain had not at the risk
of his own life, precipitated himself
upon the French officer and beaten
back his own men. Infuriated by the
frightful loss which the defenders had
inflicted upon their own regiment, they
would have put the whole detachment
to death -
The Bavarian captain prevailed, and
the Frenchmen were made prisoners
of war. The Bavarian officer congrat
ulated the French commander warmly
upon the desperate and heroic stand
they had made.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
The best governed school I ever saw
was one that had few rules, but where
every pupil was thrown on his or her
own personal responsibility.
The best results I ever had in con
trolling my own boys came through
appealing to their better natures and
putting it up to them to do right on
their owu initiative.
, I told theiu my view of the case, then
informed them they bad their own
lives to live and 1 was going to put the
respoosibility on them that I would
not force them to do right but leave
them to do right of their own motion.
It never failed to work. Their response
was immediate and gratifying. .
We all know what is right and in
our hearts we all want what is right
But so long as we think somebody
else will compel us to do right we
leave the responsibility to them. What
we need is to stand on our own feet
and choose light for ourselves.
In other words, we ueed more of a
sense of personal responsibility. We
need it because it is best for us and
best for the nation.
Government cannot make us good.
Government can only restrain us from
being bad. We must make ourselves
good. ...
Institutional restraints are largely
negative. Positive results must be
achieved by the Individual.
A good citizen is one who leads to
ward better things, not one who is
dragged or driven to better things.
Involuntary righteousness does not
count for very much in the building of
character.
Don't trust anybody or anything else
to make you what you ought to be.
Do it yourself.
That gives you strength and confi
dence that the results are permanent
Don't be a moral learner.

Burning Up Gold.
Burning a small piece of gold leaf Is
a custom observed by the Chinese at
certain ' anniversary celebrations, and
it is estimated that gold to the value
of $10,000,000 is destroyed annually In
this way. This estimate is based on
the assumption that each Individual of
a total population of 440,000.000 burns
at each of two anniversaries a piece of
gojd leaf weighing .308 grain, making
a total of 271.000,000 grains. A five
dollar gold piece weighs 129 grains.
