outwitted bv an Innooent.

There is a good story told of the out
whiting of gambler and a confeder-
ate, who was looking on, by an APP
parent innocent. The game, which
was Napoleon, is played in this man
ner: Five cards are dealt and the
players in turn declare the number OF
tricks each claims to make. Whoever
declares the highest number plays
against the rest. and the first card led
is trumps.
There we're iii this case only two
players, and to the innocent" was
dealt ace, king, queen, knave of clubs
and ace Of diamonds. He naturally
backed himself to get five tricks, the
chances in favor of his doing so bel Q
enormous. He intended, of course, to
make clubs trumps, but the readiness
with which his wagers were accepted by
the onlooker who saw his opponents
hand, aroused his suspicious, and when
the stake had risen to high amount,
he made his solitary diamond the
trump, and found his adversary with
five clubs, and so made every trick.

while between that point and Washing
ton avenue the sidewalks were utterly
inadequate to accommodate the crowd,
which spread into the streets and left
only sufficient room for the movements
of the troops. The gathering was, how
ever, very dissimilar to those on the
Festive occasions Nearly all present
wore badges commemorative OF the dead
hero, deep stiffness prevailed and all
were impressed with the solcmnity of the
occasion.
The division upon which most interest
centered was the first, composed of the
famous Seventh Cavalry, under Colonel
FOrsythe, and the artillery and infantry
of the regular army. The flutter of the
gay red and white swallowtailed guidons
and the fash of the swords and yellow
capes of the troopers as they wheeled
into Pine street in double columns of
companies, every horse keeping al gnment
and proper distance, would have called
forth laundering applause on an occa-
sion less solemn. But the crowd never
for an instant forgot the occasion that
had caused it TO gather. The grim can
non, with Their large, fine horses and
their perfectly equipped artillerymen,
excited scarcely less interest than the
cavalry. The recent Indian troubles in
the Northwest had sharpcned public in
terest, and the troops who had seen SER
vice shonc respondent In the eyes of the
spectators.
The bugle corps of the Seventh Cav
airy led the procession, being preccGel
by a platoon of police, who cleared the
way General Merritt, grand marshal
of the procession, and his aides, some
twenty officers of the regular army, rode
at the head of Clusters cavalry. They
wore side arms, heavily bound in black.
The thinned ranks OF companies B and X
of the cavalry showed the havoc at
Wounded Knee, but the six troops show
ed 400 men in line The artillery and in
fantry passed quickly in view, and then
came the caisson on which rested the
body OF General Sherman.

tial in appearance, presented a picture

The imposing cortege reached the
cemetery. The bottom of the newly
dug grave was covered with evergreen
and MOSES. The American flags lined
the sides-fiags that had history. The

Common Fellows.

A dream which President Lincoln
related to one of his friends has q
homely significance for many another
common fellow" Lincoln dreamed
that he was passing, on some public
occasion, between ranks of the people,
when he heard one man say to another,
as he pointed him out, "He's common
looking fellow, isn't hep" "Well, my
friend" replied Lincoln in his dream,
turning to the man whose remark he
had overheard, "God likes us common
looking fellows, or else he wouldn't
have made so many of u.s."
The wit and wisdom of this dream
thought are good enough for any wax
ing moment. Yes, God evidently likes
communicating fellows. and he has
evidently given the work of the world
into the hands of common men. The
genius" was always rare As the gen.
eral level of intelligence and virtue
rises, fewer and fewer mountain peaks
of commanding intellect rise above the
level. And even at their best the men
of genius have never done the worlds
work, or fought its battles, or carried
on its reforms. They have often OBJ
tanned the glory and won the applause,
but a Napoleon without his army, a
Gladstone without his constituency, q
Spurgeon without his audience, would
be far more helpless than the common
fellows" without their leaders.
This is just the thought needed to
lift the common fellow out of his COM
monplaceness, and to raise the COM
mon task to the pinnacle of sublimity.
The common fellows are Gods chosen
workmen. The common tasks are his,
and he brings the workmen and the
work together. No man really APP
pears common to us after We begin to
realize that he is chosen of God, just
as Lincoln could not have been com
mon fellow in the eyes of any one who
knew his mission and history. Golden

Father Sherman concluded with the In
vocation: "May his soul and the souls of
all the faithful departed rest In peace.
Amen! In the name of the Father and

Then, in quick succession, three vol

hat, and, opening his prayer book, began
the impressive prayers for the repose Of
the soul of the dead. When the service
began the battalion Of infantry stood at
present arms facing the little group
about the grave. In the midst of the
services a hoarse, low voice gave the
command "Carry arms-order arms" In
quick succession, and the sharp click of
the musket barrel and the ring of the
