G.. A. Rs. OF V.

AS the remnant of the battlescarred
struggle for the Union, are one by one
Joining their comrades on the farther
shore, and as it will not be many
years before the last veteran will have
messenger OF death, it is well that their
memories should be kept green, that
the principles for which they fought
should be perpetusted, in order that
their children and their children's
children to the end of time Shall be in
spired by their example to emulate
their deeds, if need be, in defense of
the nations honor.
With these noble purposes in view,
the society of Sons of Veterans and
kindred associations were formed The
old soldiers, as we have said, are being
fast mustered out. Day by day they
are falling by the wayslde, day by day
their spirits are mustered into the great
army beneath the white tents on the
farther shore, but as they fall-as the
old army fades away-we see their
sons buckling on the sword and should
ering the musket, and marching to the
same inspiring airs that fired their
fathers hearts and nerved their arms
i'll the perilous past. So are and will
the fires of patriotism be kept burning
so will the Sons of Veterans, like SO
many sleepless sentinels, be ever found
ready to respond to the nations call.
This cause certainly should enlist
the sympathy Of all good citizens, veter-
ans and children of veterans in particu-
lar. No son of yetern should fail to
join the Sons Of Veterans, and no mem
Der of the G.. A. r. should fail to en-
courage it since it objects are so worthy.
Let the ranks of our local society be
multiplied. Let union be the watch
word still, and your efforts will be re-
warded by results creditable to all con-
cerned.
So Will the Sons of Veterans be able
to prove themselves the worthy off
spring of the heroes gone before

PHOTOGRAPH AS PASSPORT.


New riaA Facilitate the IdeAtL
ncation af TrnveIers
Perhaps the bulky old passport has
had It's best day. In its stead the
Identification book is now growing In
public favor.
While passports We're intended for
identification they did not always iden-
tify. The mere verbal description filled
In by the owner primarily, and then
the globe trOtteF.-New York Herald
partment, was sufficiently exact for
ordinary occasions but not for extra
ordinary ones. And the wise tourist
prepares for both.
Travellers who are not equipped with
any language but their own under the
passport system can be exposed to
more than petty annoyances, particu-
larry in the more unfreIuented paths
of Spain and Russia. They may have
trouble in securing mail addressed to
them or In cashins money and express
orders. And instances are by no means
infrepuent where travellers have been
absolutely stranded for lack Of funds
which were even then waiting for
them at some provincial post office,
and they We're sacrificed to the elab-
crate scruples of some honest but OBJ
stinate village postmaster.
But, armed with an Identification
book. one can refuse to be hulldozcd
by IN official for lack of evidence of
ones identity.
The matter Of it's official adoption
by the United States will come up for
considerable this winter in Washing
ton. Most of the European countries
have successfully tried the system.
France and Italy were the pioneers in
the movement, and have shown no
desire to return to earlier methods.
The hook of Identification is a small
paper-bound volume of a size cOnven-
lent for the pocket. 1t may be pur-
chased at any postof1ice at an outlay
equivalent to ten cents. On the inner
side Of the cover is placed n photo
graph of the holder, tied firmly in
place and fastened by a sealed ribbon.
To this is attached the signature Of
the holder. On the page opposite the
cover is n declaration signed by the
postoftice official who originally sold
the book, the making of which, Of
course, he must witness. and the cor
rcctneSs Of the likeness IS set forth by
the photograph.
Tie pages following contain the usu-
al verbal description familiar to the
holder OF passports, consisting Of de-
tails as to oyes. nose, mouth. forehead,
chin. hair, coloring, height, weight and
particular marks or scars.
1t contains a declaration to the eff
feet that ''on presentation OF this book
and the signing of a receipt, any post
office is required to deliver to the hold
er all mail matter addressed to him."
1t is imperative that the signature on
the receipt should correspond with
that of the book. and the better the
photograph the easier the hard path of
copied by some clerk in the State De

EDWIN ARNOLD'S NEW YEAR POEM

Dedicated TO the New York WorldD
In frct-work Of frost and Spangle of snow,
Unto his end the year doth wend:
And sadly for some its days did go.
Ana glad for some was beginning and end;
But. sad or glad, grieve not for its death
Misery counting your measures of breath;
You that before the stars began
Were seed Of Woman and Promise of Man.
You who are older than Aldcharan?
1t was but - ring round about the sun.
\ dance OF the planets, danced and done;
\ step OF the infinite Minuet
Which the white worlds pace to the music
set
By Life immortal and Love divine.
Whereby strikes soft on your three-score and
ten
One chord Of the harmony, fair and fine
OF that which will make Us angels from men.
In fret-work OF frost and spangle OF snow
Sad OF glad let the Old Year go,

The Destination OF Cheap Butter.

We have all along insisted that Euro
peans could not correctly Judge Of our
skill in butter making, from the quail
ity Of the goods we sent over there.
Our best butter is all called for by
Americans. and the grease that John
ny Bull, and his uncles and cousins and
aunts, get from us is generally OF
low down" grade, when ready for
final consumption.
There ought to be law 10 prevent
the expectation Of such stuff under the
name of butter. 1t ought to be labelled
axle grease but even that would be
too good term sometimes. Farm,
Stock and Home says:
In spite Of the creamery. the fine
home dairy, improved methods all
along the line, due to the gospel of
the papers. the dairy school and the
farmers institute. there is yet 4 vast
deal of poor butter made in the United
States, and the questions are often
asked. where does it go and what use
Is made of it?
A study OF our exports OF butter will
answer the question. The butter we
send abroad averages 10 cents to IL
cents a pound; In other words, 1t is
not butter. but grease and sold out
ol tne country 1T pTopdbi} tnFee 10 I'VE
cents pound less than it costs TO pro-
duce ii.
This is not only a frightful waste,
but it is an advertisement to Europe
OF our butter that makes it slow in
deed to look TO us for butter for table
use. If nothing but good butter were
made In this country we would have
butter to export At n profit instead OF
grease at loss. and therefore fear
not to make all the butter good.

at the Wisconsin joint legislature and

only one member refusing TO vote for
him. This, of course, means that Mr..
Spooner will succeed Mr.. Villas at the

1t has been generally observed that
some varieties Of apples do best on
bottom lands and strong soils. This
since the abundant moisture. causing
abnOrmally strong growth. places the
sorts at their best, SO that they hold
their fruit most persistently. Those
needing soils of AN opposite character
drop their fruit badly. 1t is a good
time for planters to notice this habit

Senator Hill has Introduced 4 bill
into the senate providing that the terms
OF office of all pOstmasters hereafter ap-
pointed shall be four wears, and that the
term of office shall be deemed TO COM
mence from the date of his ASSUMPTION
of the duties of his office; that the term
oi office of all Dostmasters now in office
shall be four wears andisuch terms shall
be deemed TO have commenced from
the date OF the assumption Of the duties
OF Office by the occupant: provided,
however, that when the present occu-
pant shall have been appointed 10 fill a
vacancy he shall hold Office only for the
remainder of the unexpired term of
four wears, provided he was appointed
from the same political party TO which
such predecessor belonged. or is 4 mem
Der Of the family of such predecess IT.
This bill Is designed to prevent a man
from being removed for political reasons
before the expiration of four years. At
present the president can remove a
postmaster who is of the opposite politi-
cal faith TO the executive. when he
thinks fit. 1t is doubtful whether anv
president would sign such bill, as il
would rob him of much OF the patron
age now at the disposal Of the executive.

politicians they must he content to sub

BAD LITERATURE.

The confession of two French Youths
now in jail for murder in New Orleans,
that they were Influenced to commit
the crime through reading stories about
Jesse James and other brigands, ought
to be enough TO force our Legislators to
pass a law that would forever stop the
supply ofthisclass of literature. If man
be caught III the act of coming spurious
money he is Immediately locked up,
or if a man be caught in the act of pol
lutlng, poisoning, the waters of 4 stream
from which man and beast derive their
daily supply, he is, as he deserves to be,
severely punished. We strive with all
the skill we can bring to our aid to
keep pure the water that we need to
sustain life, yet we pay little or no at
tention to the endless streams of poison
Gus literature flowing out from appar-
emily inc Xhaustible sources, corrupting
the minds of the youths Of the land and
melting many to crime, as in the case of
read the lives ofthe bricands they might
| have led the lives of good citizens, and
left this world with untarnished names
We seem to think more of orr physical
comforts than of anything else, and yet
we cndanyer our very lives SO long as
we allow crime literature 10 be circu-
lated and youths to he educated in the
ways of criminals, because, while all
boys are not easily led astrav we cannot
tell how many weak or evil minded
! follow III tn" footsteps Of notorious
criminals. Crime is on the increase,
and there is no question but very
| large percentage of that increase is due
what is properly termed crime litcra-
/ ture. The liquor traffic, with all its
/ attendant evils, is not dong more to
! corrupt humanity and increase crime
than the writers, printers and vendors
/ OF crime breeding literature, and if the
/ Loud bill should have the effect of cur
I failing the circulation of this class of
reading matter it will more than make
amends for its faults. The publication
! of demoralizing literature, however,
should be stopped. Morality, security.
( Justice. humanity, demands It. 1t is in
tinltely better that the revenue of the
government should fall short than that
one youthful mind should be corrupted
The rising generation is the rising hope
of America.

Suburban Gardening.

A great deal of Improvement is quite
possible in the vicinity of our cities
and towns. Rapid transit by the BIZ
cycle md the electric motor leaves
many morning and evening hours for
healthy recrea ton to suburban resi-
dents and much leisure to the unem-
ployed members Of families that can
be utilized on the home lot to rescue 1t
from the waste OF weeds and trans
form it into the healthful garden Of
flowers. vegetables and fruits. The
line of work chosen should OF course be
determined by locality, personal taste,
etc. Remarkable progress has been
made by skilled seedsmen and florists
in the production OF high-grade plants
and seeds and only n small outlay is
required, II intelligent culture and 4
division of plants between neIghbors
is pursued, to render possible the beau
tifying of the home lot to q very high
degree In many eastern villages and
suburban districts this work is now
taken hold Of by village improvement
societies, the whole community uniting
in helpful ways for the Improvement
and identifying of the village and the
home. 1t is certainly trustworthy
work. and opens a wide field for i'm
proyemeDt.
