Mr.. Brown Makes "A Slight Mistake, WhicI,

My dear, let me present to you Mr.

1t was just after the ceremony at the
church and Mr.. and Mrs. Jones were
receiving the congratulations of their
friends at the BRIDES home Jones and
Brown, young lawyers, occupied adioin-

used to write long letters and every

break forth in one of those rhapsodies
to which lovers are heir. Then Brown
left the city for six months and returned
the very day of the wedding.
Now, Brown was quite distinguished
man in dress suit, and Jones made the
presentation in n voice that attracted
general attention.

SCATTERING FLOWERS.

Scatter your flowers alike to-day,
over the graves OF the blue and gray
Time has healed all the nations scars,
Peace has hushed all the noise OF wars,
AND north and south, and east and west
There beats but ono heart in the nation
breast
The grass Is green and the flowers bloom
Alike upon soldier Ond sailors tomb;
So scatter your flowers alike to-day,
over the graves OF the blue and gray.
All! each was gallant and brave and true,
whether he wore the gray or the blue;
Alike each sought for a soldiers fame,
Alike each won him soldiers name;
YET What the guerdon each soldier foundi
dreamless sleep meath u grassy moutfii
y let us forget what coat each wore,
Let US scatter our flowers freely DER
The sucred spots where sleep to-cay
The dead who oLce wore the blue and grayl
Alas! for the tear drops shed like dew
over the gray and over the blue;
Alas, for the eyes that sought in vain
For tho soldier dead on tho battle plain
Came death alike to friend and TO foe,
To wives and mothers like grief and woe!
ana the bitter sorrow our sad hearts knew
Was felt for the loss OF both gray and bluei
Then scatter your flowers alike to-day,
over the graves OF the blue and gray.
OH by tho bitter tears we shed
Alike DER our loy'd ones lying dead,
on by the common grief VIC knew
Whether we mourned the gray or blue;
By the drops scarce dry on the widows cheek
By the common language our children speak,
we have bid oil malice forever cease.
We have blessed the land with u lasting paace
And scatter our flowers alike to-day
over the graves OF the blue anu gray.

TRICKS OF POLICE OFFICERS.
How They Escape from Wearing Uniforms
in Public.

in Public.
While at parade the police captains
appear to be proud of their spick and
span uniform set off with brass buttons
and gold lace, it is Il curious fact that in
ordinary circumstances they seem to be
unhappy when they are compelled to
appear in them in public. Various rea-
sons may be assigned for this repug-
nance to wearing the livery of the force.
Perhaps in the streets and in public
conveyances it attracts attention to the
Wearcr and eXcites comment, not onlv
in regard to him, but the force in gen
eral. A shrewder guess is that, if, for
instance, police captain is summoned
to police headquarters in hurry, he
may, when his business is transacted
there, wish to go elsewhere and not be
conspicuous.
AT any rate many lodges are resorted
to to escape uniform wearing in the
streets. One of them is to forward the
uniform ahead to the Central Office, don
it down stairs on arriving and ship it
off when leaving. This succeeds in the
main, but patrolmen are often DELAYED
and as often are untrustworthy mes
sengers, and instances abound of cap-
tains arriving just on time and fuming
because their garments have not ar
rived, for the rule against appearing be-
fore the superintendent, the commits
sioners, or in the trial room in ''nufti"
unless specially excused is rigidly en-
forced.
Another scheme is an ingenious one.
The police tailors are all near the police
headquarters, and the rule was circum-
vented years ago by having dummy
Uniform coats handy and of several sizes
ready for emergencies so that a captain
summoned in haste could slip into the
tailors civilian and emerge in all the
glory OF blue, brass and braid.
Sometimes, however, offers have
been caught in trap by the uniform
that would fit them having been donned
by another, and have had no alternative
but to wait or put on garments too
tight or too baggy. Nobody has ever
been disciplined for this, but both Mr..
Murray and Mr.. Byrnes have now and
then ''reckoned up subordinate in
ill-ftting uniform in fashion that
made him feel unhappy, while the con-
trast between even well fitting coat
and Broadway promenade trousers has
been startling.
Like accommodations are to be found
for patrolmcn who do duty in citizens
dress and are required in certain and
sudden circumstances to appear in uni
form at the Central Office. Some OF
them have been detected and guyed
into unhappineSs N Y Times

PENSIONS FOR CoNFEDERATES.
How the Southern States Provide for
Their Veterans.

HOW the southern States Provide for
Their Veterans.
Georgia's confederate pension system,
under which disabled veterans receive
from 81 to $25 per month, according to
the disability, is highly creditable to
our state, but it should accept and
maintain the home near this city, in Or
der to complete the good work. 1t will
be of interest to review the situation in
other southern states. Virginia led in
the movement and established con-
federate home at Richmond, for the sup
port of which the state expends $40 600
year Pensions to amount of $4,000
annually are also paid.
Alabama has no home, but pays S125,-
900 year in pensions.
Arkansas has home at Little Rock.
built by private subscription, supported
by state aid,
Florida has no home, but pays $50, 900
year to disabled confederates who
have resided in the state fifteen years.
Mississippi is without home, but has
made liberal provision for her indigent
and disabled confederates.
Missouri pays no pensions, but a
movement is on foot to raise 500 600 to
endow home without state aid.
Maryland has $4,000 home near
Baltimore, aided by the state to the ex-
tent of $4,000 annually.
Louisiana has home near New Or
leans, and the state grants il $4,000 a
year.
North Carolina not only pays pen.
sions, but has appropriated S4l 900 for
home.
South Carolina pays abo,.t $50, 600 in
PENSIONS but has no home.
Texas has home established by sub
scription. 1t costs $500 a year, and
state aid is expected shortly.
Tennessee has established home at
the old home of Andrew Jackson, "The
Hermitage" the state donating 475
acres of land and giving $4,000 for i'm
