country seat, saw at time most identical
with the appearance of the vision at ROYAL
Oak, bands of soldiers of great size equipped
in dazzling uniforms, their musket steels
quiveling and shimmering in the pale, weird
light that seemed TO be everywhere marching
with military precision up and down unseen
avenues and presenting arms at the sound of
unheard commands. The vision was of start
ling distinctness and lasted long enough to be
seen by a number of Vests neighbors who
after the unearthly military had taken its de-
parture and been swallowed up in thin air,
retailed the strange story to their eager
friends who had not been SO fortunate as they.
But, strangest of all, a man named Cover
dale, who was driving through the country
along lonely road at the same time. being
then several miles away from Vests house
and in an entirely different direction. saw to
his astonishment and alarm the same band of
soldiers in their faultess uniforms. Many
people living near Laurel. many miles away
situated in the low er end of the peninsula,
saw the same extraordinary pheaomena at
the same time. A few go as far as to say,
in spite of the redicule of their associates,
that they distinctly saw in the midst of the
soldiers and conspicuous by reason of his
size and commanding presence the hero Pres
ident himself, pale. but with every feature
distinctly and vividly portrayed. There is
no doubt of the fact that there were many
who thought they saw Garfield in the clouds.
In Tabor County the illusion was seen by
numbers. farmer living near Clara's
Point, on going out into his yard after dark,
saw, as he related II afterward to his neigh
bors angels and soldiers marching side by
side in the clouds wheeling and going through
every evolution with military precision and
absolutely life like and natural.

er modern author Beneath the Wheel Also

others 'On the Rock, Under Foot and
'Trodden Down

ATruthful Description ofan Editor.

The editor, children, is member of that
race of animals called mankind He is in
variably kind man.
lie is perfectly harmless. You may go into
his den without fear. But he has his pecu-
liarities. The sight of a poet makes him wild.
He is then very dangerous and Is apt to do
bodily harm to all within reach. He ie also
much wrought up when a man comes in with
little triIle he has just dashed off.
There is one thing that must be said in the
editors dispraise. His mind is so biased by
long thinking in certain direction that he
dislikcs very much to look upon both sides Of
question. Therefore, if you value your
safety, never approach him with manuscript
written on both sides of your paper
The editor usually writes with pen, but
his most cutting articles are the product of
his shears.
And let me say right here, children, that a
good deal of sheer nonsense has been printed
about the editor. He uses his shears only
when composing an entirely original article.
The editor would make good public
speaker, but for his propensity for clipping
words
The editors hardest task is to dispose of
his time. His would be IA monotonous life
indeed, were it not for the kindness of
the few hundred people who call upon
lite with stories of their grievances, of their
brand-new enterprises and with antediluvian
anecdotes. When YOU grow up to be men
and women, children, remember this. and
spend all the time you can in the sanctum of
the editor. He loves company so much, you
know, and sometimes he has to sit silent and
alone for whole halfminute. Is it not too
bad?
The business of the editor is to entertain
itinerant lecturers, book canvassers. ex-
change fiends and other phianthropists. He
gives his whole day to these. Tie writes his
editorials at night after he has gone to bed
The editor is never so happy as when he is
writing complimentary notices. For ten
cents worth of present he will gladly give
ten dollars worth of advertising--all on &C.
count of the pleasure it gives him to write,
you know, children.
He loves to write neat little speeches and
bright witty poems for people without brains
who wish to speak in public. 1t is 80 easy
for him to do this that he is sometimes quite
miserable when an hour or two passes with
out an opportunity to do something of the
kind
The editor dimes at all the hotels free, he
travels free, theatres open wide their doors to
him, his tailor clothes him gratis, his butcher
and grocer furnishes him with food without
money and without price. In short, his
every want is provided for. He spends his
princely salary in building churches and
schoolhouses in foreign lands.
BY all means, children, be editors. OF
course it would be better II YOU could be hod
carriers or dray horses. But as that is i'm
possible, by all means be editors. Bosfon
