year a more honored sway. The textbook
more frequently recalls his virtues, the SER
mon oftener enforces his example and the
publicist turns constantly to Washingtons
thoughts as the years go by. But I refer
specially to the admiration which wreathes
the laurel crown for our Washington in
other countries across the sea- He is more
convincing than all our arguments for free
government. This fruit on the vine of our
national life is the surest evidence to the
world at large that the American type Of
character is meritorous.
Washington represents true power. Stead
lily he rises over the Napoleonic type. For
a long time Washington was considered too
mild, while Napoleon Bonaparte has been
the idol of ambitious youth. But that il
fusion is passing, and the real hero of hui
man life is revealed in our great American.
Ambition will always exist. 1t is native to
human beings and never can be eradicated.
The great aim of education and religion is
to make that ambition purer and nobler.
Aspiration is at the heart of ambition; the
aspiration to make something of ones self
and also to win the applause of mankind.
This can be done in the coming years only
by heroism Of service. Napoleon served
himself but not mankind. He trampled on
human life and rights. Washington illus
trated benignant power. He built on a
foundation of the love of the people and
their welfare.
AS said in the beginning, every nation is
known and will be judged by its recognized
leaders. Hero worship exists in some form
through every generation. The English peo-
pIe point with just pride to King Alfred,
the great and good. There he stands in the
dim light of Britain'S national day-dawn,
commanding figure worthy of lavish adj
niration. His traits of justice, goodness
and wisdom have been repeated in the Vic
torian reign of this century. So do we re-
new that experience in our country, though
within shorter period of time Washing
ton, the great and good. stands at the be-
ginning of our Republics career. He was
able to shape the tendencies of that i'm
portant era That the American people are
true to his type of leadership is proved in
the loyalty and love shown toward Abra-
ham Lincoln, so many years after Washing
toms death. AS Queen Victoria draws forth
the same response in the nineteenth century
among Englishnen that King Alfred did in
DAYS gone by, so Abraham Lincoln in the
midst of tumult and passion found hearty
allegiance from the true citizens of this
land. The standard Of excellence and merit
had not been lowered.
washington was conspicuous by the four
great elements of conviction, conscience,
character and citizenship. He is to be stud
led by young men for what he can reveal
as to the secrets of genuine success in a
democracy. Washington's life proves afresh
the sure blessing of vigorous Christian
spirit He translated the truths Of Jesus
into practical forces: he set free the Golden
Rule and the Sermon on the Mount; lie

Founder Of Christianity: Thy kingdom

The gracious court has welcoming eyes.
He dreams, within his foolish heart,
That song and qup make paradise.
But---in the silent corridor
He covers where the lights are dim.
His cap awry, his bells distraught;
The court no longer laughs with him.
Another's bells more sweetly tuned.

The strident laughter mocks his grief,
The fool is wise; he weeps alone

 Pelham Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, in recognition of the loss that has come to all through the untimely death of Miss Winnie Davis places upon its rec ords these words:
 We, as Daughters of the Confederacy, appreciate how much the beloved Daughter of the Confederacy embodied the memories and conflicts of the war.
 We appreciate, too, the womanly lovli- ness of her character, her tenderness and tact under trying circumstances; her brave endeavors in the struggle of life, and above all the dignity with which she met duties never before thrown upon young woman hood.
 We desire, therefore, to second the ef forts that have elsewhere been formulated looking to the erection of a monument to the memory of this devoted daughter. Such a monument cannot increase in our hearts the love for the Daughter of the Confed- eracy, but it will serve to recall to the daughters of coming generations in our southland the memory of the noble woman whose personality represented at once southern history, southern heroism and southern womanhood.

CLEANED OUT THE OFFICE
From the Pittsburg Dispatch

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 Anyone who has known what it is to wait day after day in some out-of-the-world nook for letters which were all the time safely reposing in some neglected corner of sleepy postoffice can appreciate the story that is told of Lord Wolseley by MT. Nourse, who was with her majesty's forces thr .dgh the Soudan campaign.
 At kortf Nourse went into the postoffice to look for some letters The postmaster was native, and not much used to hand writing. He made a superficial examina- tion of Q big pile of letters and papers. and said there was nothing for the applicant Nourse asked to see the pile of letters, and while he was looking them over man with nothing to designate his rank came into the office. He took in the situation at a glance.
 Let's clear this thing out,'' he said
 They jumped on the counter and pro- ceeded to "clear it out by first bundling out the postmaster. Then they began a careful examination of the postoffice, and found 1t congested with mail for the army They searched every nook and cranny throwing the letters for each regiment in- to different pile and heaping up all the newspapers in the center of the room Then they went through each pile and separated it into companies. Before night every let ter was in camp and distributed, and the next day the papers were out.
 Nourse did not know the name of his companion in the benevolent deed, and when he asked, the answer was, 'They call me Charlie'
 Some time after Nourse found it neces- sary to see the comrffandant, and, sitting under the tent to which he had been direct ed, he saw his companion of the postoffice
 Hello, Charlie'' he said. "I'm looking for the commandant. Where shall I find him?"
 Well" said Charlie, ''you won't have to look far. I'm the commandant Come in side and have bite to eat and drink"
 It was Lord Wolseley.

 The bride, in her going-away gown, showed to unusual advantage. It was a tailor-made brown cloth, trimmed in back bands. Her toque was en suite, and com pleted the beautiful toilet. The bridal bou- quet was of white roses.
 The groom wore the conventional morning attire, and Lieutenant Everard Meade was in full regimental dress.
 The bride is the oldeset daughter of MT. and Mrs James Turner Meade. She has been a conspicuous figure in the social life of Birmingham, her queenly bearing and brilliant intellect. together with a nev- CT failing charm Of manner, distinguishing her at the notable affairs of several sea- sons, and she will be greatly missed by the social set.
