A Coed Furniture Polish.

A good furniture polish may be made
by putting equal parts of spirits Of wine,
vinegar and olive oil in large bottle
and shaking thoroughly every day for a
week, when it will be ready for use.
This polish should be applied to the fur.
niture with a soft wooden cloth and
thoroughly rubbed in. If the furniture
is very dirty, it may be rubbed clean
with wooden cloth dipped in kerosene.
1t is worth knowing, because cheap OF
easily procured, that one-third turpen-
tine and two-thirds sweet oil make an
excellent furniture polish.

Handsome Table Covers.

Very effective table covers are made
of alternate squares or half squares OF
basket flannel and velveteen. One made
of two shades of brown is very pretty,
and another of brown and lemon color
is particularly effective. The spread
should be lined. 1t is not necessary that
the entire lining should be of expensive
material Unbleached factory cloth will

deep. No border is requisite, but if one

boyhood-Syas spent in San Antonio, Tex,
where he sold newspapers for a living.
His first ambition was TO become trapez-
list and travel with a circus. All his spare
time was devoted to practice on the trapeze
and on the tight rope, and at the age OF
IA he Joined Thayer & Noyes' wagon cir
Gus In Charleston.
Soon thereafter he entered the service OF
an aeronaut and made his first ascension
in Evansville, Ind. He was delighted with
the experience, and upon his return to
terra frma decided that the life Of bal
loonist" was the life for him. He has since
made hundreds Of ascensions, parachute
drops and high dives without breaking a
single bone in his body. His most ambi-
tious effort took him three miles from the
earth, and the feat was performed in a
very small gas balloon of only 6, 900 cubic
feet capacity. He has also dropped 10, 900
feet with the aid of parachute and claims
to have dived from a tower 156 feet high,
a height 81 feet greater than the center Of
the Brooklyn bridge. He will be a valu-
able addition to the balloon corps.
Captain Glassford has long been inter
ested In thesubject Of military ballooning
and two years ago while abroad he studied
the work of the French, German and Eng
lish officers who had used balloons in sig
nal service work, and upon his return to
America he had constructed an army bal
loon that will carry two men and their
signal service outfit. The balloon, which
is called the General Myer, is spherical in
form and has a capacity of IS, 600 cubic
feet. The experiments are conducted at
Fort Logan, near Denver. The balloon is
held captive by means Of a steel cable,
and at night signals are made by flashing
a searchlgbt located on the ground
against the side of the balloon. Captain
Glassford's signals have already been sue
cessfully worked a distance of 1876 miles.

the LARGEST REMNANT
SALEof the SEASON. At the
prices we are asking every
piece will be sold. Read what
follows and kindly bear in
it mind.
POPULAR APPROVAL
Goes far toward establishing
the standing of a business
house in any community, and
the goodwill and patronage
we have had during the last
forty years indicate, not only
that we have the POPULAR AP-
PRovAL, but that those who
have dealt with us have been
eminently satisfied with their
transactions.
WE ATTRACT
And retain patronage more
by the EXCELLENCE OF QUALITIES
shown and our REASONABLE
PRICES than by preposterous
claims of selling goods below
cost, etc.
WE REPEAT
AS we have said before that
when you pay less for goods
than we ask for them you get
an inferior quality.
WHILE WE

goods that is complete

the framework of the government
seemed admirably planned for its in
tended purpose. One section demand
ed the continuance of slavery, and the
other section felt obliged to consent.
By an unwritten compromise the Or
ganic law was purposely left obscure
at some points that the interests of
one section may be protected, while
the conscience of the other is quieted

powder while the fuse is burning.
With the growing prosperity of the
country, the profits of the institution

individual liberty, such as neither this ma
tion nor any other ever knew before. In
that splendid school of their youthful army
experience they learned these lessons thor
oughly. And the respect gained by their
patriotic service in the hour of their
country's vital need, has commanded such
influence in their communities, that the whole
land has been leavened with their patriot
ism, and brought far onward toward that
homogeneous Americanism, which is the
aspir alton of every freeman.
This patriotism was more than sentiment.
1t was an inspiration-a living animating
spirit, lifting our youth above themselves
and leading them on to deeds of valor and
sacrifice. Not in dens of misery and crime,
not in foul alley-ways reeking with pollu-
ton, where the pale and pinched children OF
wretchedness hide their distorted frames,
blotched with disease, SCARED with vice,
and all over spattered and splashed with the
black slime of ignorance; not in these abodes
of shame and degradation does our Heavenly
Father nurture this blessed spirit-but out on
| broad prairies, where fresh breezes blow
and clear waters run, and where the green

contest, we have looked with

bad cause; posterity will implacably

century hence 3OO,OOOyOOO of happy
and homogeneous Americans will scan
with incredulous horror the record OF
rebellion in support OF human

ment the original unexpressed COM
promise by others more definite and
binding. Able statesmen, after life
long wrestle with the vexed problem,
give up in despair, and sink into their
graves, appalled, by horrors which
their enlarged vision enables them to
foresee. At last antagonisms become
so intense that champions of the insti-
tuition seek to save it by having it Of
ficially declared to be cherished ma
tional blessing, instead of an excused
sectional curse. Then the cloud that
has been gathering for eighty years
bursts like a bomb. War results from
an attempt to nationalize crime, as
naturally as the apocalyptic sequence
of death on the pale horse and hell
following with him. The friends of
slavery resolve to destroy the nation,
and on it's ruins to build a new gov
ernment, which, Babel-like, shall lift
them above the rising flood of the
spirit of the century, the reproaches
of man. and the fiery wrath of heaven.
When the swift tidings of the coun-
try's dishonor are flashed over the
land, her sons rush to the rescue. Long
and bloody is the contest. The road
to victory lies over mountains of diff
Guilty, and down through valleys of
humiliation. But after four years of
carnage the day of triumph comes.
The rebels ground their arms and
cease their resistance, and the defend
ers of the Union march proudly home.
Slavery has been abolished, and open
questions of constitutional law have
been settled by the sword. The prin-
ciple of nationality, cemented by the
logic of Marshall, and adorned by the
inspirations of Webster, has been
crowned with victorious battle laurel,
and is forever impregnably entrenched
in the common sense and patriotism
of the people.
No one class is entitled to all the
credit for this splendid consummation.
Slavery was abolished because it's
doom had been written on the celestial
chimes; because the nineteenth CEN
tury had come; because the free school
and the free press and the open bible
had come; because the flying engine
and the speaking wire had come; be-
cause Wilberforce and Garrison and
Harriet Stowe had come; because Lin
coin and Seward and Stanton had
come; because Grant and Sherman
and Sheridan had come; because two
millions gallant boys in blue had
come; because the great and terrible
day of the Lord had come, and all the
powers of evil could no longer buttress
and bulwark the crowning infamy OF
the ages.
The decade before the civil war was
the golden decade of the Republic
the period of preparation. In the pub.
lie schools and in the quiet Christian
homes of the land were being uncon.

1910 and 1850. Between 1850 and
1850 they were trained, educated and
disciplined for their immortal work
They averaged nineteen years of age
in 1851. They were the boys in blue,
and they put down the rebellion, with
the help of their mothers who prayed
for them. and the girls they left be-
hind who cheered them on, and the
omnipotent God who guided them to
victory.
And in that golden decade the saw
ing, sanctifying power of free institu-
tions was evolving for the ranks of
private citizenship, the consummate
leaders for the struggle just at hand.
The new wine needed new bottles,
and when the vintage was ripe, the
vessels were ready. Down in the lit
tie inland city of Springfield, Illinois,
was growing for his glory one of the
marvels and miracles of history. He
was man of origin SO obscure that
the first name of his paternal grand
father is in dispute, and no name of
his maternal grandfather is known; of
poverty SO deep that much of his
youth was spent in cabin without
door, or window, or floor, or furniture,
and with one whole side open to the
winds of heaven; of education so linn
tied that the sum total IF all his at
tendance at school was less than one
year. Yet when the awful summons
came he was ready, and in that terri
BILE crisis he lifted himself by his
splendid abilities, his exalted charac-
ter and his magnificent achievements
to such a commanding eminence that
the aggregated renown of all the kings
of the earth for the past thousand
years already pales before the splen-
dor of his fame.
Nearly 2,5OOOOO individuals enlist
ed in the Union army for the suppress
sion OF the rebellion. Of these it may
be roughly estimated that half mil
lion died or were killed during the
war, million have died since the
war and million still survive. These
survivors are the old soldiers of to-
day. They are no longer young; they
will never be younger; they are the
"old soldiers" now and will be to the
end. But they have survived the vi
cissitudes of war; they have lived
through thirty years of the prosper
Gus peace they fought to secure, and
they have lived to witness national
development which triumphantly at
tests that their fallen comrades have
not died in vain. Organized into the
grea national order Of the Grand
Army 81 tie Republic, they have in
culcated spirit of loyalty and pa
triotism. Among other things they
have established this touching me-
mortal observance that the principles
for which they fought may be per-
petuated in the heart of their fellow
citizens.
Neither this observance, nor any OF
their other benevolent, patriotic or
frate, nal customs, have been adopted
in a spirit of animosity' They make
