CHICAGO, Nov. Is. - The story .ele-
graphed from New York; special to The

part in any parade except on national holi-

three other bases. On the front of
one of them, cut in raised and polished
letters of bold outlines, are the words:

history because of one unique feature
"a feature which follows out the
peacecc-lov.ng agreement of General
Grant and which will do more to en-
dear the north to the hearts of the
southern veterans than anything else.
Il is the uneiling Of a monument in
Ahicago to the Confederate dead. A
e3sw of the Grand Army posts have
protested against this tribute to the
men who proved themselves great sol
diers and warriors worthy to meet any
foe, but the majority of the posts have
regarded it in a broader and kindlier
spirit and nave applauded the gener-
osity of the great northern city whose
citizens are about to memorialize the
bravery of the wearers Of the grey.
The monument is a tribute to the
5000 Confederate soldiers who died in
the prison of Camp Douglas while suf-
fering the confinement of war from
1861 to 1865. Forty-seven hundred Of
this vast army of the dead are

Could I but hear the voice once more
That thrilled my heart in days of yore,
Its sweet, pathetic, tender power
Would soothe my spirits darkest hour.

And hovring lightly on the wing,
Enraptured. hear its rival sing.

For which my wearied soul doth pine;
OH may hear its sounds on High,

THE soLAclNa WEED.
Civilized Men Take to Tobacco as Love.
 Above the Lower Animals.


 In the opinion of about four in every five men the essential difference between man and the inferior animals is that man smokes tobacco. Occasionally pre- cocious monkey has been taught Co drink beer and smoke a pipe-Old Tom in the London ZOO for instance-but this only emphasizes the exclusive hu- mauuess of smoking. The monkey is nearest kin to man and is in full prog ress toward the human state As the ultra temperance lecturers affirm, "A dog wouldn't smoke The vile weed. % No other animal than superior man and the anthropoid ape will smoke Perhaps in the civilized white world one man in five Is tho victim of some defect that disqualifes him for smoking. Tho de- feet may be a tendency to a canoerous growth, or it may be wife or . mother in-law. The remaining four are in the full enjoyment Of Rll their faculties and the right to pursue happiness through a cloud of tobacco smoke.
 Lack of opportunity Co smoke is with. out doubt the most afiictive evil under which a majority of men sutfer 4 large proportion of men arc employed in offices, stores and shops where rules against smoking are rigidly enforced. This is entirely proper. No superior smoker ever smokes while working. To io that is to debase the luxury and to take of the keen edge of the pleasure. It is intemperance and dissipation. The most expert wine tasters never drink Co excess but find that in moderation only does the palate retain its power to de- teet the delicate flavor. So with smok- ing. At night after few pipes or ci- gars have dulled the edge of appetite, it is allowable to smoke half a dozen with some violence to stimulate a jaded pal ate, but at other times pleasure goes with moderation. To smoke after meal is the imperative demand of tho whole system. Not to be able to do this is tO incur endless disorders of the nervous system, the stomach and the entire di- eestive apparatus and sometimes to in vite progressive decay of the menta faculties. There is no better preparation for a days work for the smoker than a pipe or cigar after breakfast New York Advertiser.
