OLD COMRADES GREETING.

The following is the compost ton of
E. Fuller Of this city in honor of the visi
| ing G. A. r. men. 1t was recited in ii
big tent by Miss Clara Gehring and w
decidedly well received. 1t is entitl.
"Old Comrades Greeting"
Old comrades of fair Kansas plains
Who work the blue through battle storms,
From prosperous and happy homes,
We welcome you with glad acclaim.
/ From sister states assembled here
Our cOuntry's grey-haired heroes come,
They all have fought and victories won;
For "old glory now give three cheers.
Your children now with honest pride
LOOK at your scars that plainly tell
You stood your ground when shot and shell
Slew heroic comrades by your side.
A legacy of priceless worth
The veterans son inherits now,
Than brightest chaplet in his brow,
Or fortune own or royal birth.
A nations life to you she holds,
And all she has or hopes to be
Did she give all pension free
She yet would owe you more than gold.
TITS now some thirty years or more
Since you so proudly marched along
To stirring fife and rolling drums;
Grand music, bound for Dixie's shore.
That parting scene you remember well,
Your sweetheart stood silent. dumb;
Her cruel grief no pen can tell.
One holy kiss, one promise given,
Your plighted troth is sealed, for aye,
At your country's call you turn and say:
Farewell, meet me love in heaven,s
Your sire, with zeal to patriots given,
Says: Loyal son, may God you speed:
Most bravely die if die you need,
For your country, home and heaven"
A mothers love you long had known,
Her heart for you was ever beating;
Her prayers for you never ceasing;
With her sweet blessing you were gone.
On many bloody fields you fought,
Like Chicamauga's lurid morn
You took the rebel hordes by storm,
When To- they fed with mad alarm,
And piled their dead on low redoubts.
You marched with Sherman to the sea,
You cut their secret Gordian knot;
They failed to fathom his deep plot,
And stacked their arms without one plea.
At Appomatox famous tree,
You with Grant forced Lse's surrender;
Our grateful people well remember
Who saved our country and made her free.
Unfurl the banner to the breeze:
The dove of peace broods DER our plains;
Her SWEET spirit our country reigns:
The Bow of Promise glints the trees.
Our flag now waves, for conflicts gone;
We lift its folds above OUR dead;
Some died mid awful carnage dread:
Some starved in hellish prison grounds.
Some sleep beside the sobbing sea,
Whose weary march had but begun;
Some lie meath burning summer sun,
And in them wave palmetto leaves,
The nations honored dead are gone.
With those we love the most and best,
May we all meet in blssful rest
On Gods eternal camping ground.

no interest was an insignificant, snub-
nosed little man who sat in the back of
the car and read newspapers At last
bedtime came and the porter made up
a couple of sections in which the tired
mother might bestow her offspring.
When they were safely settled the pas

GoUNoD'S STREET CONCERT.
How He and Tive Other Musicians Aided
Needy Artist In Paris.

How He and Tive Other Musicians Aided
. Needy Artist In Paris.
A poor, WORKOUT musician, carrying
violin which he was too feeble to play,
was met with in Paris by three young
students of the conservatoire In re-
Spouse to his request for aims they
searched their pockets, the united con-
tents of which yielded only sixteen
sous and cube of resin. Thereupon,
says Temple Bar, one of them proposed
to take the old mans violin and accom-
pany the voices of his companions Nc
sooner said than done.
Commencing with solo upon the
theme of the Carnival of Venice" a
large concourse Of listeners was soon
attracted. Then came a favorite cava-
tina from la Dame Blanche" sung in
such manner as to keep the audience
spell-bound, and yet again the trio from
''Guillaume Tell" BY this time the
poor old man was galvanized into life
and activity by the artistic performance.
He stood erect, and, with his stick, di-
rected the concert with the authority
of a practiced leader. Meanwhile con-
tributions of silver and even gold rained
into the old mans hat To his aston
ished and grateful demand to know
who were his benefactors he received
from the first the name of Faith, and
from the others the response of Hope
and Charity.
"And you do not even know mine"
sobbed the poor musician; my name is
Chapner, and for ten years directed
the opera at Strasburg. You have
saved my life, for can now go back to
my native place, where l shall be able
to teach what I can no longer perform"
The young violinist was Adolph Her
mann, the tenor was Gustav Roger and
the originator of the charitable scheme
was Charles Gounod.

In no country has dueling enjoyed SC

In those days every respectable family
had among their heirlooms the hereditary
pistols-the preservators and vindicatorS
OF the family honor. These were tenderly
regarded AMI kept scrupulously clean and
oiled, for no man knew the moment when
they would be required. The handles were
mysteriously notched, and on each notch
hung tale-perhaps a catastrophe. At

indicating that it had sent IA bullet into an
adversary.

A Terrible View of Marriage.

The foundation of the confidence which
impels the misses of young Americans tc
take upon the mselves the responsibilities OF
matrlmOny il after all, the firmly fixed
custom Of giving wedding presents. The
question may offer no difficulties to the
wealthy; they leave an order with some
great jewelry house, and have it charged
up and then go to the wedding. 1t is
however, upon the unmarried young man
of tolerably wide acquaintance, whose in
come exceeds his living expenses by a small
margin, which he fain would save, but who
does not feel that he can afford to get mar
ried, that the custom bears with peculiar
severity. For him nature. lovely in Nav
and splendid in October. has no charms:
for May and October are to him but syno-
nyms for weddings galore, each with its
obligation of gift
The difficulty of selecting something
which is not likely to be duplicated half a
dozen times over is known to everybody:
but it is not ole-tenth so formidable as is
the production Of the dollars necessary to
buy that sonnet hing There seems to be
good ground for the theory that wedding
presents play a wcightier part than love in
the making of marriages, the majority of
young men having spent so much in these
gifts that they determine upon marriage
in retaliation. and the rest. discouraged bv
the periodical and alarming drain upon
their purses, become misauthropic and
confirmed in their bachelor mode of life

Ancient Wax Tablets.

Wooden tablets, covered with wax, were
anciently used to write upon-the outer
sides being of wood, only the inner sides
being covered with wax. The two pieces
were fastened ut the back with wire as
hinges, and could he opened and shut like
our books. Two ancient waXen tablets of
this kind, in an excellent state of preserva-
ton, were found in gold mines in and near
the village OF y brudbauya, in Transylva.

These tabul9 consist Of three tablets
each. One is of fir wood, the other of beech
wood, each about the size of a small octave
The outer parts are of plain wood; the in

grown black, and have margins. The mid
die tablet, also with raised margin, is Gov
eredwith wax on both sides. On the tab.
lets are some Greek letters, followed by
certain unknown characters. The other
tablet contains writing in Latin, which re-
