Why NOT BE HAPPY 1O-DAYf


! have doubted my hopes of the futare,
have questioned my dreams of the
past,
have roamed through the realms of am
bition
With visions too lovely to last.
have longed tor youths fondest ideals,
But those fantoms are now far away,
And at last fair Philosophy whispers,
"Oh !! why not be happy to-day ~
Though storm clouds may darken life's
valley
each heart has some shado ws 10 bear },
The bright sun will soon gild the heavens,
And thy troubles will melt into AR.
So what is the use of repining-
Will it bless or ennoblc you, prayf
No, the world does no care for your
whining,
So, why not be happy to-day'
All the old world at heart is too solemn,
For life Is ut best full of trials,
SO try to be cheerful-'twill help you
If you brighten all PATHWAYS with
smiles.
Then life will be well worth the living,
Let kindness illumine its way,
And with Hopes gilded banners before us,
Let's strive TO be happy to-day!

THE GAINES CASE.
This Famous Case Decided Against New

ed States Supreme Court has is
sued The final decree in The noted
case of Myra Clark Gaines VS.. the
City of New Orleans for 1861 900
with interest Tor ten years. making
the total claim about $SOO,OOO in
favor of the Whitney and Christ
as heirs, Mrs. Gaines grandchild-
rem. The city will have either to
issue bonds for the amount or levy
special tax. The levying of Il
special tax may possibly be resist.
ed TO The point of rioling, as the
masses firmly believe the claim to
be absolutely fraudulent.
This famous suit was originally
begun before 1910 and has been
up in the United States Supreme
Court a dozen times or more.
Daniel Webster gained one of
the original DEGREES for the city be-
fore the latter court, but was never
able TO collect his $4,000 fee.
The first general decree in favor
of Mrs. Gaines, made by the
United States Supreme Court in
1860, was for 81 100000. The city
has been fighting it ever since, pay
ing ont in all for costs and fees
about 100000. Mrs. Gaines used
all Gen. Gaines fortune prosecu-
ting the suit, and after his death

Confederate Veterans Need Not Apply.

The hopes and aspirations of
many of our Confederate veterans
have no doubt received a severe
blow at the announcement made
through the Washington dispatch
es, that they will be debarred from
going into the Italian war as Gen
erals, Majors, Colonels, Captains,
Corporals, etc.
They will have TO 60 as privaies,
and those who have already been
making up their companies should
make a note of the following clause
IN the law, before embarking for
Italy:
"No person who has served in
any capacity in The military, naval
or civil service of the so-called
Confederate States, or of either of
the States in insurrection during
the late Rebellion, shall be ap-
pointed to any position in the army
of The United States"
