Some years ago there lived and
worked in Italy great artist in Mo-
safes. His skill was wonderful.
With bits of glass and stone he
could produce the most striking
works of art-works that were val
ued at thousands of pounds.
In his workshop was a poor little
boy whose business it was to clean
up the floor and tidy up the room
after the days work was done. He
was a quite little fellow, and always
did his work well. That was all the
artist knew about him.
One day he came to hi. master
and asked, timidly: "Please mas
ter, may l have for my own the bits
of glass you throw upon the flow?''
"Why, Yes" said the artist. "The
bits are good for nothing. Do as
you please with them"
Day after day, then, the child
might have been studying the brok-
en- pieces found on the floor, laying
some on one side, and throwing 9TH
ers away. He was faithful little
servant, and so year after year went
by and found him still in the shop.
One day his master entered a store
room little used, and in looking
around came upon piece of work
carefully hid behind the rubbish.
lie brought it to the light, and to
his surprise found it a noble work
of art, nearly finished. He gazed at
it III speechless amazement.
"What great artist could have hid
den his work in my studio?"
"At that moment the young SER
want entered the door. He stopped
short on seeing his master, and when
he saw the work in his hands deer
flush dyed his face.
"What is this?" cried the artist
Tell me what great artist has hid.
den his masterpiece here?"
go MASTER" faltered the astonished
boy, sit is only my poor work. You
know you said l might have the
broken bits you through away"
The child with an artist-soul had
gathered up the fragments, and pa
tiently, lovingly wrought them int
a wonderful work of art.
Do you catch the hint, little PEG
pie? Gather up the bits of tim.

of Perquimans County Farmers AL
lance in session assembled at SUIT
tons Greek, April 18th 1898 the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The last General AS
sembly of North Carolina. attempted
the most contemplate piece of leg
islation that ever blackened the
pages of our grand old State in at
tempting to repeal the charter of the
Farmers Alliance, and did finally
pass amendments to said charter
which are without precedent in the
history of charters and organizations.
Therefore be it
RESOLVED LIST, That we regard
this unwarranted, uncalled for ty-
rannical act as direct blow to the
Alliance and an outrage upon COM
mon justice and an insult to every
member of our noble organization.
End, That we consider it as an ex-
preston of their extreme emnity to-
wards the Alliance and believing
that the sole purpose actuating such
proceedings from the ginning to
the end was to cripple and destroy
the Alliance under the cloak of the
law.
3rd, That we believe it to he the
duty of every Allianceman and every
paper friendly to the Alliance to re-
sent this contemplate and unbound
ed piece of legislation forced upon
us by set of pretended Representa-
tives of the people.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
JACKSONVILLE. FLA, May 30.-Gen-
eral A. c. Weissert, National Command
err of the Grand Army OF the Republic.
was here yesterday on an official visit
of inspection to the Florida Department:
In an interview he said he was surprised
at the fuss and discussion eroused oy
the Farnham Post affair in New York
CITY. which he explained had nothing
TO do with the position OF the Grand
Army of the Republic on the pension
question. or its attitude toward the
present Federal Administration. Farm
ham Post had It's charter taken from IL
because, when it promulgated those
resolutions, it acted in violation OF the
relations of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public, and detied the authority OF the
organization when the attention or its
officers was called TO that violation.
Just to show how absurd IS the criti-
eiSm upon the action OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic organization in
this matter, have only TO cite to you
another instance where the post fol-
lowed the rule. In New York City
there is a Grand Army Of the Republic
Post which some OF the boys called the
heightened post. 1t is named Lafay-
cite, and when l was at Knoxville L
found in my mail some resolutions
passed by that post. To it belong such
veterans as Chauncy Depew, General
Horace Porter, General o. o. Howard
and other old soldiers OF almost equal
prominence. These resolutions were
almost In the same line as those or
Farnham Post, but the Lafayette men
had some respect for the order They
sent them TO the proper office to get
permission to promulgate, and such per-
mission was duly Endorsed on them.
Then they reached me through the
usual channel, and promptly indorsed
them with my official approval. The
same mail train which took TO New
York my sanction Of the revoking OF
Farnham Pest charter took also to New
York my approval of set Of the same
kind of resolutions passed by Lafayette
Post. IL was simply matter OF OBJ
serving discipline, you see."
As to the policy OF the Grand Army OF
the Republic on the pension question,
General Weissert simply pointed to Par
agraph of his General Orders No. 8,
issued last January, as follows:
Every member OF the Order is SOL
EMMY obligated TO encourage honor and
purity in public affairs: it is, therefore,
enioined upon comrades to report
promptly TO the Commissioner Of Pen
sions, Washington, any known case in
which a pension is being received fraud
ulently."
