matters straight before CO." There were
solemn consultations between husbands
and wives, which usually ended in the
fathers going out, stern faced and silent,
and the mother, dry-eyed, but with quiv-
ering lips, seeking her own room, with
eyes that showed she had been weeping.
There were gatherings in the town halls
and in the churches and school houses all
over the land. The newspapers were
read hurriedly and anNiously.
And when little Robert rocked up earn
estly into his grandmamma's face and
asked, "Why does mamma not eat her
breakfast?" grandmamma replied, "Your
papa is going away, my dear-papa is go
ing to the war, and may never come back
to us. But you and must be brave about
it, and help him get ready" And if Rob
ert answered, "Why is he going to the
war? Why does he not stay at home with
us? Doesn't he love us any more?" then
mamma would draw her boy to her and,
putting her arms around him, and looking
into his eyes she would say, eyes, my
darling, he loves us, but he must go. Our
country needs him, and you and must be
proud that he is ready to do his duty"
Then Robert would go to his play, Won
dering what it all meant, just as you
would have wondered if you had been
there.

the benefit of creditors from the sale Of
property which johnson has surrendered.
The directors of the bank do not seem to
have taken any interest in the manage
ment, but permitted the president to con-
duct the business to suit himself. The
liability on deposits is reported at $780,
Coo, but an examination is necessary to
determine whether an assessment will be
made on the capital stock.
Johnson was taken to Indianapolis, and
now occupies a cell at the Jail. He went
in the custody of United States Commits

ing, and there parted with his wife. Both
were perfectly self-possessed, even to the
point of exciting comment. johnson will
plead guilty to some of the charges
against him, but Others he viii fight. Com
missioner Funk says that if the Logans-
port bank is promptly reorganized it will
be able to pay out.

autograph fend is always there in force,
and the bric-a-brac hunter is omnipresent
One hour is given up to this class of call
ers, and at 1 O'Clock the President goes
to lunch with his wife. One hour is Civ
en- to lunch and to family gossip, then he
goes back to his desk.
AT O'Clock promptly he filings care and
business aside and goes out for an hour.
Sometimes he walks, sometimes he rides
horse sometimes goes in carriage. On
returning the President glances over the
daily papers and rests until dinner time
Dinner is served at clock promptly, and
the President dons evening dress for it.
He often invites friends to this meal in
formally, and it is very seldom indeed that
the President and his wife sit down to
meal by themselves. After dinner, if
there are men to entertain, the President
takes them into the little room off the hall,
where they smoke and tell stories.
There's No Let-up.
In the evening there is very often music
at the White House, and music of the
best character, and there are always call
ers. 1t would seem as though public men
might respect the evenings of the Presi-
dent and leave him to his family, unless
specially invited, but they don't. They
invade his home life, and talk consulships,
secretaries, ministers, revenue collectors,
appraisers, commissioners, and so on
through the list, till 10 O'Clock or after,
when they GO and leave the President to
go to his Office to look at the bushel of
kilograms, the two bushels of letters the
half a ton Of documents to sign, all of
which must be cleaned up before he goes
to bed, else one days work would soon
cover another, and he would never get
through. BY the time the last paper is at
tended to the President is as tired as
though he had been working in the har-
vest field all day.
Three days in the week he gives an hour
to shaking hands with the general public
in the East room. This time is 3 clock,
and it is motley assembly that greets his
eyes. There are cid men and young ones,
old women and young ones, all colors,
classes and conditions of humanity, and
little children make large contingent.
Two days a week are given over to cab
met meetings, from II to l, and it is then
that affairs of national Importance are
considered. These days are particularly
hard upon the President, because he must
consider conflicting interests and harmon
ize them, he must keep his finger on the
pulse of the people through all Ills cab
met officials, and decide firmly and wise
ly the questions that are brought to him.
All this work is crowded upon the Pres
ident, and he has one state dinner a week,
to say nothing of the dinners he must at
tend, the state receptions and other So
ciety functions which demand the time
and presence of the President; with bills
of Congress to read and sign, and mes
sages to write, it will be seen that the
man who digs cellars has much the best O:
it as to time he works eight, and the
President nearer eighteen hours of the
tWenty-four.

have seen that something dreadful was
being told by the wires. Even the BRAY
est among the operators trembled.
Then came the rapid writing out OF the
fearful words that the slender wires hao
uttered, the hurrying to and fro, and mes
senger boys were seen flying to the great
newspaper offices and the homes Of the
mayors of the cities, and to the churches
where the people were already beginning
to assemble. For the deep-toned SAB
bath church bells high up in the steeples
had been ringing out their welcome to all,
even the strangers in their midst. "Bhn,
baum, bim," they sang, which everybody
knew meant, "Come to church, dear peo-
pie. Come, come, come" And the peo-
ple strolled leisurely along toward the
churches. So one family after another
filed into their pews, while the organist
played such soft, sweet music that every
body felt soothed and quoted by it.
In many Of the churches the prayer was
over, the morning hymn had been sung,
when a stir and hustle at the door might
have been noticed, as the messenger boys,
excited and out of breath, handed their
yellow envelopes to the ushers. First one
and then another read the message, and
from some of them escaped in hushed
whisper the words, ooh, God! Has it
come to this?'
And all looked white and awe-struck.
The head usher hurried tremblingly down
the aisle, and, without waiting for the
clergyman to finish reading the announce
ment of the week, laid the telegram upon
the pulpit desk.
The clergyman, somewhat surprised,
glanced at the paper, stopped, gasped,
holding on to the desk, as if he had been
struck blow by SOME unseen hand. The
congregation knew that something terrible
had happened, and their hearts seemed to
stop beating as they leaned forward to
catch his words.
''My people," said he, in slow, delib-
Tate tone, as if it were an effort to steady
his voice, 81 hold in my hand message
from the President of the United States. :
Then his eyes dropped to the paper which
he still held, and now his voice rang out
clear and loud as he read, "Our flag has
been fired upon. Seventy-fve thousand
troops wanted at once. Abraham Lam

During the next two weeks men came
home, hurried and excited, to hunt up law
papers, or to straighten out deeds, saying
in constrained tones to the pale-faced
women, 81 viii try to leave all business

the President, and, with the stenographer,
goes through the three or four hundred
letters that are the advance guard Of the
avalanche that comes during the day. The
President does not see much Of that MAIL

more awful than anything you ever
dreamed of Men were shot down by

more awful than anything you ever
dreamed of. Men were shot down by
thousands, and many who did not lose
their lives had leg shot off, or an arm
so crushed that it had to be cut off. Still
they bravely struggled on. It was for
their beloved country they were fighting
and for it they must be willing to suffer,
or to die. Then the men who had not
been killed or who had not died of their
sufferings came marching home again,
many, alas, on clutches, and many who
knew that they were disabled for life. But
they had saved their country. And that
was reward enough for heroic hearts.

The blue was mingled with the skies,
And we were boys in gray.

Southern women gave to our country
its first Memorial Day-the women of
Alabama, who paid tribute to their SOL
der dead on April 26, 1866
The first formal services in commemora-
ton of the soldiers who gave their lives
for the Union was on May 5, 1868, by
order of Gen. John A. Logan, who was
at that time commandments of the
Grand Army Of the Republic.
The first State to take legislative action
on Memorial Day was New Jersey, and
New York was the first State to make it
legal holiday. Congress adjourned as
mark of respect to the memory of the
men who had died fighting their country's
battles.
On the first occasion when the order.
was general for an observance Of the day,
which was that proclaimed by Gen. Lo-
gan, there was great display of SOL
diery, and most pathetic scenes were wit
messed, for the scars of war were vet
fresh. At Arlington, where $4,000 SOL
diers reposed, Gen. Garfeld-afterward
President of the republic-ma1e an ora
ton that melted all who heard it TO tears.
1t was not only a magnificent tribute to
the dead, but classic and valorous les
son of encouragement to the living. It
was on that occasion that he Uttered THE
grand peroration:
If silence is ever golden, it must be

Reports Received at Washington on

Reports received at the Treasury De-
partment tend to show that the failure
of the State National Bank at Logans-

of John +. Johnson, the president of the
institution, who, it is claimed, appropri-
ated not only the capital stock of the
bank, 100000, but also the undivided
profits, amounting to 100000 more, and

of his populations cannot be determined

His face is bronzed py summers suns,
His locks are white as winters SHOWS.
His form is bent, his eye is dim.
For war and age have left their woes.
Yet bravely steps the veteran,
And proudly beats the old, worn drum.
To him no music half so sweet
In days gone by or days to come.
No comrades march with him to-day
Along the narrow village streets,
The last of all his regiment,
No soldier face his vision greets.
In trenches rude their bodies lie,
And gltt'ring stars lone vigils keep.
No more the bugle call to arms
Shall rouse them from their dreamess

Birth OF the Day.

1t comes to us of to-day like strange,
tragic dream, this memory of a war of
more than three decades ago, when the
sound of shot and shell rent the silence
and peace of the beautiful summer days,
and there was vacant chair in the home
Of every patriot in the land. Then the
soldiers were divided into two factions,
the boys in blue and the boys in gray.
Now they are united in one band-those
that are left-and they are all boys in
gray. Time has given them their uni
form
