fame might have hurt his suit rather than
help it, for Miss Fish greatly disliked the
notoriety attached to the greatest show
on earth" and after she had married its
owner always managed to hold herself
aloof from the publicity her husband
loved so well. But the old showman's
knowledge of the English love for official
celebrity led him to play winning card.

represented him seated in snowy Ian

horses, his coachman on the box and two
footmen up behind. Under the photo

Bridgeport" A copy of this picture was
forwarded to Miss Fish, and Barnum

This is to be remembered about our
gold export; The more millions Of it we
send to Europe the more plentiful will it
become there and the less the demand
will be for it. When Europe has enough,
more will be glut, consequently there
will cease to be an export demand here.

How Is Experience to BE Gained

In discussing the part that women have
taken in public affairs within the past few
years, Il gentleman recently objected on the
ground of their lack of experience. He did
not explain how experience was to be had
except by actual work in the field, what
ever and wherever it may be.
When the unframed girl starts out to find
employment she knows very little 1t is a
rare thing that she has been taug, or has
the opportunity of learning the require
ments of her chosen calling in her own
home. If she intends to be IA stenographer
or booklfeper, she goes to business col
lege. If she wishes to be a teacher, she goes
to school and then completes her course at
some university or normal school. But
even then she admits that she has acquired
the theory only, and that theory and prac-
tice differ most amazingly and unexpect-
eddy.
To obviate this difficulty there are in all
the best institutions for the training Of
teachers-the last instruction given-whGt
is called training school Here the wom-
an who has mastered arithmetic and alge-
bra, science and literature, must learn how
to instruct and discipline. Were she to 90
on acquiring theories for 20 years and fail
to apply them she would probably be total

plication is productive of little good

Mutual Love of Gen. Lee and His
Soldiers.

The following is authenticated by a
conft derate soldier of Los Angeles,
California;
Not long after the surrender, the gen.
eral was waite d upon at his home on
Franklin street, Richmo nd, Va, by a
ragged confederate soldier, who said
that he came as the representative of
fifty other fellows around the corner,
who were too ragged to come them
selves. And" said the spokesman,
We hear, general, they are going to
have you indicted and tried for treason
and rebellion. Now if you will just
accept the proposition, we know a
mountain hollow to which you can re.
treat. We boys will work farm for
you and you shall never suffer want"
1t was with difficulty that General Lee
could restrain his tears sufficiently to
say in reply: Why, nv poor fellows,
| could not think of accepting your
generous offer and being a burden to
you. Besides, you would not have
your general to hide in the mountains
and become what his enemies would
call fugitive from justice. No: 1
cannot command words to express my
gratitude, but | must of course decline
it," One day, at the White Sulphur
Springs, not long before his death
while in the large parlors conversing
with some ladies, and surrounded by
the brilliant coterie accustomed to as
semble at that abode of fashion, he
was told that two of his old soldiers
were at the door and desired to see
him. The men had come down from
the mountains to bring some market
ing, and were dressed in coarse home
spun, but were eager to take their
loved chieftain by the hand. General
Lee received these humble men with
us much consideration as if they had
been scions of some royal house, and
remarked; "The man who can truly
say, was soldier of the army OF
northern Virginia and was true to my
colors to the last has in my eyes a
badge of honor which no earthly po-
tentate can ever bestow."

Saying Nice Things.

A friend of certain Iowa congress-
man tells a story on the statesman, who
is at times absent minded, and makes en-
barassing remarks as a consequence.
During the session the absent minded
member took occasion to pronounce a
eulogy upon deceased fellow member
from neighboiing state. A few days
after brother of the deceased member
met the eulogist on a street of the
capital, and taking him by the hand
thanked him very earne silly for the kind
words he had spoken.
Il beg you not to mention it," re-
piled the congressman. 81 was only
too glad of the opportunity to say what
| did.-Siour City Qa) Journal.

The Battle Test.

You cannot always tell by mans
record in civil life whether or not he
will make good soldier" said Colonel
Harry E. Goodenough. In my regi-
ment during the civil war were several
of my old schoolmates, and l watched
their conduct in the several trying po-
sitions in which they were placed,
with considerable interest. There was
one young fellow who always showed
the white feather in the little scrim-
IMAGES at school. A boy half his size
could bluff him, and he seemed to have
mortal dread of getting hurt. We
nicknamed him Sissy; yet that same
fellow was always first and foremost in
charge, was brave even to reckless
ness, and earned lieutenant's COM
mission for gallantry in the first battle
in which he participated. During the
first days fighting at Shiloh, his left
arm was shattered by a grapeshot. He
went to the rear, had his wound ban
daged, came back, and stayed at the
front. Another schoolmate, who was
popularity supposed to be the embodi-
ment of physical courage, always re-
quired sergeant's bayonet behind

would funk at the first fire. The whistle
of the bullet reduced him to state of
terror that was pitiable. During q
skirmish once found him crouching
behind log, his teeth chattering as
with the ague. l ordered him to the
front, and he got on his knees and
begged me not to send him there to be
murdered. Yet he had thrashed me a
dozen times when we were boys. He
would have fought Heenan with bare
knuckles and gloried in it, even if he
knew he would be whipped. The first
came out of the war one-armed major
with record for heroic courage; the
latter was drummed out of The army for
arrant cowardice. Yet both were brave
men and both were towards in way
1t requires a different kind of courage to
face grape and canister from that re.
quired to stand up in the prize ring and
| fight to a finish. Some men may have
both, but think the combination rare
one. l have seen many soldier OF
proved courage in battle weaken before
bare knuckles. l have seen many {
bruiser try to run his nose into the
ground when the flames leaped from

A Frustrated Pilgrim.

A good pilgrim story comes from
Rome. 1t appears that among the Irish
pilgrims to the Eternal City was GER
tain shopkeeper from Mullingar. This
gentleman looked forward with moro
10 seeing his Id and on the morn
ing of the audience at the Vatican was
beside himself with excitement. Now it
so happened that when the Irish pilgrims
we're about to enter that particular part
Of the Vatican where the pope was wait
ing to receive them, the shopkeeper from
Mullingar got separated from the rest of
his friends and turning the handle of a
ponderous door found himself in the
presence of the august head of the Ro-
man Catholic church. The blood almost
froze in his veins, and in vain did he
look for face that he recognized The
splendor, too, of the papal court did not
improve matters. So what he did was
to throw himself on his knees at the feet
Of the pope and shout out, loud enough
to be heard in every corner of the vast
chamber, 80 howly father. Dim from

Note and Comment.

PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM UNCLE SAM.
Which wish to remark
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark.
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar,
which the same would rise to explain
Ny Look was his name,
And shall not deny
In regard to that same
What the name might imply;
But his smile II was far-look and pensive,
Although that his first name was Ny.
1t was May twenty-third,
And quite soft were the skies;
Which 1t might be inferred
That Ny Look was likewise
Yet he played it that day upon Geary
And me in way despise.
Which we had small game.
And Ny Look took hand,
1t was Get out, the same
He did not understand;
But he smiled as he sat in the courtroom,
with a smile that was chdike and bland.
Yet the law it was blocked
In way that grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the judges reprieve,
Which was stuffed full of bouncing the heather
But no money to pay him to leave.
Then looked up at Ny,
And he gazed upon me;
And rose with u sigh,
And said Can this be?
We are ruined by Chineee cheap labor"
And bowed to that heather Chinee.
Which is why remark,
And my language is plain.
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same am free to maintain.
