Grant ana s.aEtOCk at n Night Alarm,
When Hancock's headquarters were
reached, the party remained with him
for some time, awaiting the arrival of
the head Of Warren's troops. Hancock's
wound received at Gettysburg had not
thoroughly healed, and he suffered such
Inconvenience from it when in the sad
die that he had applied for permission
to ride in spring ambulance while on
the march ard when his troops We're not
in action. He was reclining upon one
Of the seats of the ambulance, cOnvers-
ing with General Grant, who had dis
nVdntcd and was sitting on the ground
with his back against tree, whiting
Il stick, when the sound of firing broke
forth directly i'll front. Hancock sprang
up, seized his sword, which was lying
near him, buckled it around his waist
and cried, MY horse, my horseW The
scene was intensely dramatic and re-
called wildly to the bystanders the cry
of Richard LII on the field of Bosworth.
Grant listened moment without chang
IlS his poSlIlOh VI Ce'SllS his whiting
and then remarked: They are not fight
ing. The firing is all on one side. 1t
takes two sides to start a fight, " In
few minutes the firing died away, and
it was found that the enemy was not
advancing Tie incident fairly illus
trates the contrast in the temperaments
of these two distinguished soldiers

House Gowns.

In this class we may mention tea
gowns and jackets. American wo-
men are beginning to understand
one thing that her French sisters
have long known, and that is that
the tea-gown is economical, as well
as luxurious and beautiful. Cheap
silks, or rather those which are re-
duced in price from being just lit
tie out of style, are admirably suited
to the tea-gown, and the wear it
saves the handsome street dress,
more than repays for the money eX-
pended on it. The a-jacket has
the same qualities to recommend it,
and both afford room for great dis
play of individual tastes-aad a
becoming costume is generally the
result. BOleros are an addition to
this seasons tea-gowns, and these
afford additional opportunity for
artistic effects in color and trim
ming.

neck ruffs and wrist frills. All sorts
Of chiffon and lace and ribbon enter
into the composition Of the neck dec
OratiOns.
High necked gowns for house wear
are receiving lavish trimming and
are worn in place of the half de-
collete gowns at dinners and else
where when decollete gown is not
absolutely required. When the
occasion is sufficiently formal to call
for evening dress, a decOllete gown
is the correct thing.
Dress skirts show less and less full
ness, and modistes are making an
effort TO force the old-time mode of
plain skirt to the knees, where the
fullness is introduced by a spanish
tlOunce. Street gowns are still made
with skirts that are short enough to
escape the ground, but the fashion
is long skirts for the house dress.
The rumor is abroad that in tailor
suits will be revived the short
bodices, as we'll as the neat, plain,
tight fitting ones, pointed back and
front, in which the sleeves will be
put in ever so plainly. Braiding
will continue to be somewhat miti-
gated by the desire for small checks
and stripes, which will prove very
faVOrite materials.
Very stylish, and likely to find
favor, are the gowns made in
checked woollen fabrics, with a
bolero jacket in plain cloth. OF
course the usual white lisse, lace or
silk front, with draped belt, is worn
with these new gowns.
The princess dress is occasionally
seen and is approved by Dame
Fashion, but no woman ought to
venture on a gown cut as princess
who is not absolutely sure of her
figure and her dressmaker.
Walking hats are decidedly popu-
lar and are made in all the leading
materials. Flowers and feathers
combine in furnishing their garni-
ture. The very latest fancy is for
toques. Fortunately the term toque
covers a variety of shapes and sizes
hence there are large and small
toques, tOques to be worn tilted well
forward and toques to be worn set
well back on the head. Women of
fashion no longer wear large hats al
evening entertainments. The rule
is none at all, or the so-called
theatre hat"

The sons Of many other mothers
Have pink and white cheeks just as
fair
And wealth Of gold and brown locks
waving;
But none can with my boy compare;
Oft i'm the distance with his comrades
/ see him coming, while afar,
Among the whole group shining radi-
ant
As when from gray clouds CLEANS a
star!
When merry songs in neighb'ring
woodlands
Ring forth like sweet bells, pure and
fair,
| hear but one mid all the voices
NY sons alone doth reach my ear!
And when ball III happy play
Flies upward TO the very roof,
/ know that my own boys hand flung
it
OF his young strength a joyous proof!
When fifteen more brief years have
tleeted,
The vision We will see with me,
AS slender as a green young tir-trunk
He stands beneath the apple tree!
Fen now his bright, clear eyes up
lifted
The radiant sunshine strive to bear;
Yes, there are sons of other mothers,
But none can with my boy compare

The Greece of To-day.

To understand the phenomenal rise
of Greece, we must bear in mind that,
though the Greeks had been miserably
down-trodden by the Turks for four
hundred years; the best hope of the
people, borne by an unholy tribute far
away from their mothers homes, and
trained into the tools of an inhuman
tyranny; and though. had it not been
for the "untOward event" at Navarino,
the whole population of the Morea
would have been eXterminated beneath
the merciless tramp of Turkish hoofs,
there, nevertheless, lived behind the
outward show of slavish debasement
heart of sturdy independence that
cherished the patriotic memories of
ages, and seized eagerly on every
chance that might enable it to stand
before the world in the attitude and
prominent place in the history of the
human race. The two years struggle
that gave to Greece the right to look
Europe in the face, as a noble people
determined to die rather than live the
slaves of hateful tyranny, at the same
time gave to Europe the assurance that
Greece was living Greece again; and
Christian conscience and classic memo
ries combined, when once the yoke was
broken, to enable the Greeks to show to
| the world that, in spite of the bomb
shells of Venice and the sabres of Tur-
kew, not only should a Greek mother
bear sons to grow up free from the
rapine of Turkish hands, but desolate
Athens should rise to her old position,
and, along with Edinsburg, Glasgow
and Aberdeen, assert its place among
famous European cities that combine

HIS CONSCIENCE CLEAR.
One of Gen. Nye's Characteristic Sto
ries.

One of Gen. Nye's Characteristic StO-
ries.
When Mark Twain was private secre-
tary to his brother, who had been APP
pointed Secretary of Nevada by Lin
coin in 1861, the Governor of the Terri
tory was Gen. James w. Nye, who,
when Nevada was admitted to the I'm
ion, was elected to represent the "bat-
tle-DOrn" State in the Senate, says the
San Francisco Call.
If Mark needed any encouragement
in his storytelling prOclivities he must
have found it in the society of the Gov
ernor, for as recOnteur he had few SUI
periOrs.
One of the Generals good stories rela-
ted to the last hours of a miner who died
in Carson while he was Governor. One
day an old man arrived in town on a
visit to friend. He had, with varying
luck, been wandering about the mines
of California since the days of 1919, but
at last had made strike, and, learning
wisdom from experience, had "salted
down" snug fortune, determined to
enjoy the evening of his life i'll ra-
tiOnal way.
At the invitation of an old mining
partner he had taken the long stage
journey from "the bay" to the Nevada
capital. Soon after his arrival he was
seized with serious illness, and his
host, who was a very religious man,
sought to persuade him to receive cleri-
cal assistance in relieving his con-
science of its burden.
Finally the doctor said one day that
the sick man had but few hours to
live, and suggested that some minister
Of the gospel should be asked to make
smooth his exit from the world.
With tears in his eyes his host again
besought his friend to listen to him and
receive the ministrations of clergy
man. The moribund man, who was ra-
pidly sinking, turned on his pillow, and,
articulating with difficulty, said:
81 can't see what occasion | have for
the services of a clergyman. | never
voted a Democratic ticket in my life y

TAKE THE WORLD EASY.

Take the world easy, and smile if you
BE of good cheer, tits the bettermost
plan.
Meet this life's trials, with courage and
grace,
They will all flee from the light in your
face.
Turn from the fears and the troubles
that come,
Welcome them not, and the battle is
won.
Take the world easy, don't worry, nor
fret,
Groanings meier builded happy lot yet
Men may deceive you, and friends may
betray,
Let them all go-there is one who will
stay.
God will be true, and from him you
may draw
Love that is cOnstant-a love without
flaw.
Naught can disturb when the father is
near,
Life is serene, and its purpose is clear.
Take the world easy and help it along,
Greet 1t with Sladness, ana greet IL with
song.
Measure it not by your measuring
line
Just as you find it in letter and sign,
Read it with leisure, correct if you may,
Fill the dark places with full-lighted
day.
Take the world easy, and hold out your
hand,
Clasp all the other hands you may COM
mand.
Wander at will in life's pasture so fair,
Treasures you'll find that are precious
and rare.
Secrets of being, like apples of gold,
Nature now waits for you here to un-
fold.
Take the world easy, and laugh and be
bright,
Turn out the darkness and turn on the
light. Home Life.

Memories.

Memory makes half of life's heav-
ems and seventy per cent. of its
bells. Memory is one of Gods most
blessed gifts to man. Like all other
gifts from the Creator, it can be mis-
used and abused. And there are
times when we would be willing to
drop all memory of past bliss if we
could lose all memory of the things
which we regret. Memory is the
battle-ground where recollectious
hateful and remembrances blessed
enter into contest for foremost place.
We are all storing up memo
ries, day by day, every day and all
day; memories of duty done or duty
neglected, Of opportunities improved
or opportunities lost, of temptations
resisted or temptations that con-
quered us, of words uttered by us
that were holy benedictlons or cruel
anathemas. The one kind linger in
our recollection, singing their song
of peace and gladness; the other
kind have a voice that goads US to
madness and despair--Christian
Advocate.

The Family Dinner.

Why is it that in most households
the dinner table becomes a dumping
ground for the wholesale plants of
its members? Probably because this
is the only meal of the day when the
entire family meet together, each
one feels 1t a duty to air a few per-
sonal grievances in order to seek
consolation from the others.

Prevailing STYLES.

Visiting toilets this season exhibit
a lavish amount of velvet. Indeed
whole costumes are composed of
this material. Pleasing jackets are
made of plain and fancy velvets, to
wear with silk or cloth skirts. The
fancy continues for blouses of silk
and lace, with elaborate neck ar
rangements, to wear with separate
skirt. There is an infinite variety,
by the way, in small finery, such as

Stylish COiMnres.

Women wear their hair either dis
tinctly ondule all around the head,
with the back hair knotted high on
the head and curl or two on the
forehead, or la pompadour, without
any curl on the forehead at all, and
only waved sufficiently to give a
loose, full look on the sides. AT the
back it is gathered into a simple
French knot, rather low on the head.
In both styles of couture the tip of
the ear only is concealed.
In Paris the last fashion in hair is
to wear it closer to the head on the
sides, with the ear entirely in EVIL
dence, and much higher in the back.
A short comb, scooped out across the
top, is worn just under the knot and
fits closely. This comb keeps all re-
fractory short hair successfully in
place, and gives the head very
charming contour. The front hair is
worn as we wear it, but, through
contrast to the fluffy sides, appears
to be higher.
Every woman wears something in
her hair at the opera. 1t may be
diamonds, a feather, ring of roses,
with an aigret rising stiffly and
smartly from the centre, an osprey
plume or some chic arrangement of
bows of velvet ribbons.
Fashions last edict declares that
an osprey plume or aigret worn far
back on the head is indispensable to
the woman who would be chic.

Stylish lingerie this season means
to the wearer, the outlay of small
fortune. 1t has attained gorgeous
ness never before known, so elabo-
rately are laces, embroidery and rib
bon used in the make up of the
most expensive garments.
A novelty in white skirts for even
ing wear is made of fine lawn, with
two wide, lace trimmed fiounces set
one over the other, and richer one
of silk, which buttons on underneath
to give the skirt body and furnish
the desired rustic.

of fine cashmere, silk and crepe de
chine, are fascinating.in the extreme,

dering array of laces and ribbon.

for no other reason, dinner table con-
versation should be of the spiciest,
but this fact is lost sight Of in the
general desire Of everybody, from

serve up only those topics which

days happiness.
Hardly has the man of the house
finished his carving duties before he
falls into an animated financial dis
cussion with his wife. Household
expenses are rehashed; bills grum-

Mother, in her turn, eagerly pOurs
into any listeging ear her domestic
woes. The days errors below stairs
are infinitely recorded. Such signs
over Bridget's butter waste, declares

order is becoming intoIerable, and

Then the small boy (poor little tar
get for family flaw picking) comes in
for his share of criticism. His fail

up and all sorts of punishments
threatened unless there is speedy
reform.
If there are guests present this
talk OF the inner circle is for cour-
tesy's sake given less personal
flavor, but only then. Good cheer
and plenty of it" is not the motto of
