FAILURES AND SUCCESSES.

Ii cannot have escaped your notice
that there is isusually popular disposition
to remember a failure and to forget a
success. How seldom one hears of
Hooker at Williamsburg, or Fredericks-
burg, or Antietam at Wauhatchie, or
Lookout Mountain, or at Resaca: but Of
Charlottesville people are never silent
The imagination Of critics is exhausted
to find grounds Of reproach, and Hook
er's critics in their desperation, at one
time insisted that at Charlottesville he
was drunk. This accusation took form
enough to be investigated bv the Com
mittee on the Conduct OF the War. They
reported, after searching inquiry, that
tbere WAS no foundation whatever for the
slander. Lincoln might have said of
Hooker, as he said when a similar tale
was told of Grant in the West: q wish

hauling the guns of the redoubt to
Hooker's Headquarters. His men had
profted by the night to scrape down
with their hands and bayonets the en-
brssures for the guns, and thus opening
the way, had run the cannon down the
hillside and brought their well-won
trophies to their chief, Of whom his men

acter was thoroughly military. He was
fit for command. He was proud of the
profession of arms. He brought to it
the highest accomplishments of soldier.
His manners and bearing were distin-

temper was quick, yet forgiving. He
was gracious to Junior officers and prompt

safes Crack. d.

Tuesday night the store OF Grimm
Bros. of Cassville, was broken into.
the safe broken open and rided. The
thieves were evidently not noviees at
the business. They did an expert
piece of work, blowing the safe door
clear across the store room without
alarming anyone although several
families live near They disturbed
nothing in the store except the safe
from which they secured between for
tv and fifty dollars Glassware and
other articles easily broken were care
fully removed from the vicinity of
the safe So that the shock should not
break them Herman Grimm came
to Lancaster Wednesday to get the
sheriff aid in capturing the burg
lars.
But Cassville IS not the only seat Of
operations for safe crackers in this
county. Last Sunday morning about
? o'clock a store in Hazel Green was
burglarized and a safe broken into.
The same night horse and buggy
were stolen presumably by the same
parties. There was no money in the
safe and the horse and buggy were
found next day tied near East Du-
buque, so that the thieves made moth
ing by that expedition.

Response to toast by Miss Nellie

little explanation to make the article
clear to the animated.

'.There was puddle in Mother Ma
lures backyard. A very loving angel
came along and dropped in eight
lazy, little pollywogs. They all be-
gan to kick and squirm and grumbled
and croaked at their sad lot-of sand
and water and mud. The dry season
came again flor the weather changes
in the backyard much the same as
anywhere else and with it came a
big white-headed boy-he was an
angel too-but they called him a
boy, bringing with him half duzen
p6or tadpoles. which the other fellow
had dropped when he hurried away.
When he strayed upon the puddle, he
dropped in with the others. This boy
never croaked and grumbled and his
fosterlings seemed to have taken his
spirit for they were the queerest but
the best lot OF froggies that ever
reached the puddle. There was a
pretty stone school house not far
from the backyard, where they taught
little angels all sorts of tricks and
games, and then sent them out to
amuse the little heather in the back
yard and 9th err places. These mis-
sionaries neper croaked. One,a sweet
chubby little Cupid, wandered into
the backyard one afternoon and found

been placed in the puddle had become
large frogs by this time and croakeC
accordingly. One of them was such

changed her skin she was a great

little boy missionary, an awful croak.
