it will never be carried By free
trade I mean no tariff in any nation
on earth. The earth is the Lord S;
any and every man has right to
his share of it without paying a
moneyed Spectator for it. That is
SO.

This for the Ladies.

A mature woman who has not respect
enough for the dignity of her sex to cast
off dolls and pinafores, paregoric and pan
talets in names ought to be reminded that
the quality of intellectual force thus indi-
Gated is not quite enough for the teachers
rank. The marvel is'that women do not
themselves feel the danger of inviting ia
miliariJy by tolerating pet names after
they are grown beyond the age of kitties
and doggies No woman of high breed
ing would permit any one except mem
bers of her own family to address her by
her childhood's name. 1t is the more sur
prislng because many of the names be-
Titled into contempt are themselves. SC
fine, so rich in Renaissance, SO inspiring
ito high ideal and worthy self-esteem.

Friend Roberts:
Like the idea of issuing a souvenir

and the likeness of as many, at least, Of
the deceased as friends choose to furnish
the plates for. An electrotype is not ex-
pensive. In this city an electrotype may
be obtained for So far superior to the or
binary Autograph. If a souvenir is de-
cided upon for the coming year, and it is
desirable, among others, | will cheerfully
furnish plate for my wife
| attended the annual gathering Of
1890, since which time | have suffered a
heavy affliction in the loss, by death, of
the wife who assisted me to battle with
the trials of pioneer life. Circumstances
have seemed to render it advisable to alb
sent myself for a season from the old
scenes, but still / consider myself one of
the band of early pioneers, and am proud
of my citizenship. In May, 1914, | be-
came citizen of Kenosha county-then
Racine county-and the associations of
nearly half century are not easily for
gotten. And though l am not able to
meet with you this week, am with you
in spirit, and sympatnize with you in all
your movements. Each year thins out
the ranks of the little band. A few mora
years and the last link connecting the
past with the present will be broken, the
last living witness will pass away, and,
when gone, many questions of facts in
regard to early history will arise which no
living witness can answer. The present
time should be improved to catechiSe, to
exhaustion, these living witnesses while
they remain among you.
Very sincerely yours,
LEONARD LEE.

Trimmed to Suit his Taste.

Speaking of the Grand Army, I heard
story few days ago worth repeating
As it was told me it runs in this wise:
At one of the encampmeuts of the Grand
Army of the Republic there was man
sitting on the sidewalk appealing to all
who passed for aims. His legs and arms
had been shot off and he was blind. On
his cap he had an appeal in the words:
"Pity blind and crippled veteran" He
explained to all where he lost mis- limbs
and his eyes. One of the old veterans
would give him a nickel, another dime,
and now then he would get quarter.
Finally man stopped in front of him,
and after hearing his story said: "Here
is Eve dollar BILL" The tears came from
the sightless eyes of the beggar, and he
said, "Who are you that are 30 generous ?
Tell me your name, that l may remem-
ber and bless it." The.man replied that
it was unnecessary to give his name, as
the money could be enjoyed as we'll with
out it. The blind man insisted, and
finally the donor of the bill said: "Well,
if you must know, I am an old Confeder'
ate soldier; and if you want to know
why 1 give you the amount of money
which pleases you so much; / tell you l
give it to you because you are the first
Yankee soldier I have ever seen who was
trimmed up to suit my taste."-Col.
.Sterritt, in the Galceston NeWs.
