ONE CT the speakers at the Decoration
Day ceremonies at Washington last satnr-
,iay said ''No commercial consideration
impelIed the men whom the nation ce!e-
hratee to-day They marched. they suffered,
they fell at the cali OF duty" He said this
ia the face OF the facts that the people OF the
country are still taxed to pay the enormous
bounties that were given TO soldiers in the
Union army, that millions were paid for snb
stitutee, and that the prevalent belief
throughout one half the country s that the
war WAS undertaken solely for the purpose
o. helping the northern manufacturers.

WANTING AND GETTING.

Why It Is That People DO Not Have
10 More Wishes Realized.
1t has been said that the reason so
few people get what they want in this
world is that they do not want it hard
enough. There is profound truth at
the bottom of this odd conceit. Earnest
striving and perseverance,. are rare quail
tiles. A little struggle, and then'a fall
ing off; few faint efforts, and then
despnir-this is the usual story of at
tcnpt5 to ''ges anything" whetherQit
be physical, mental or spiritual good.
But to long for a thing so strongly that
for the sake of it's attainment one can
conquer obstacles, live down opposi-
ton, ignore discouragement und work
persistently, and through years of trial
and obscllrity toward the fullllmcnt Of
q hope-is not this the record of NIL
grand achievements and the history of
all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
If people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this wor is dear, Including oxpcri-
encc. Genius itself has been defined rs
only Unlimited patience, or an endless
capacity for hard work.

Mutilat;nr Coin.

Would it be legal for jeweler to
smooth the face of n coin and engrave
thereon monogram or fgurc3 This is
the interesting and practical question
which has been presented ut tho
United States courts by two lawyers,
who wished to know il that would be
considered as mutilation of the national
coin, and therefore q violation of the
law. The reply was made that any
person who treated coin in the man
ner suggested did so at his peril, as it
was not at all clear that it was not
violation of the statute which imposes
q punishment of fine and imprisonment
on any person who "fraudulently'
mutilates or defacesa coin. 1t is said
that 1t may be difficult for an arrested

WASHINGTON, April GA regular meeting
of the Board of Lady Managers of the Ma
tional Mary Washington Memorial AssOcia-
ton was held to-day. Favorable reports
were received from different States, in
cludinp California, where in the absence
of Mrs. Senator Hearst, Miss Amelia Sum
merton has been looking after the interests
of the association. Since the last meeting
the association has lost one of its wee
presidents by the death of Mrs. Senator
Faulkner, of West Virginia. Mrs. Faux
ner's gracious qualities and active interest
in the purposes of the society have been a
great aid TO it. and as a token of the deep
sense of loss felt the board resolved TO eX-
press their sympathy and coincidence III a
letter TO Senator Faulkner and family.
Reports from the Colonial ball held IN
Charleston were received, and II IS probas
hIe that the sum realized will add greatly
10 the funds of the association. The
hoard is also contemplating an entertain
ment TO be held soon here.
For some time the ladies have been on
the defensive in regard TO the authenticity
of the portrait of Mary Washington, from
which the seal was made and the badges
engraved. At to-day's meeting proof was
received from the Mayor Of fredericks-
burp of the reliability of the picture
beyopd question and controverting the be-
lief so long entertained by many that Mary
Washington never had picture made OF
herself. The reports sent in showed in
