He was unquestionably an orator. But
he was not content with that gift. He de.
sired to deliver speeches which would read
well in print. AS a result, his periods were
polished till they lost force. They would
have made more of an impression if he had
leftafew. jagged edges on them. His speeches
were as famed for their soporific Qualities as
they were Tor their immaculate syntax, but
his wife was a confident admirer of his now
ers as speaker, Without taking the
trouble to inform herself very thoroughly
on the topics he discussed, she accepted his
observations with implicit faith and un.
bounded applause. She had gone to hear
him address the legislature. After it was
over he remarked:

it we must. Can't one Of you think out
some plan?"
A little conference of mother and
daughters was being held in the kitch-
en-. They wanted clothes, and that
soon. Here was summer coming on and
all of their thin clothing was worn out
long before the last summer was over.
Something must be done to stop this
ravenous legal monster that was de-

Il don't know as it'll work." replied
Mary, the youngest, "but anyway we
might try it"
Try what?" cried ma" Walker.
You know, ma, pa and Uncle Josh
always go to the cemetery Decoration
cay to fix up Uncle Charleys grave.
That's one of the last requests Grand
MA Walker made before she died. She
said Charley was her baby and she
wanted his grave always kept nice.
Before this lawsuit pa and Uncle Josh
always went together on Decoration
day to trim the bushes and fix the sod
and put on the flowers, but now they go
by themselves. Pa always goes in the
afternoon and Uncle Josh in :he morn
ing, and each takes care of one side of
the grave. Maybe if we could get them
10 go al the same time, and have them
meet there without knowing il the re-
membranes might cause them to make
up again."
Il just believe it would, Mary, if we
could only do it, but your pas so set in
his ways that he wouldn't go at any
time he thought Uncle Josh would be
there, and Uncle Josh wouldn't go if
he thought he'd meet your pa. don't
see how we could work it, Mary, they're
both that contrary" and MA" Walker
"h ok her head over the problem.
But, ma, couldn't we make Uncle

Real estate dealers often console them

Strange and Interesting History OF
Count Libri's Acquired
Library.

Probably the most audacious and
successful book thief that ever lived
was Count Libri of Florence, who, emil
grating to France, became in 1912 sec
retary of government commission to
examine and catalogue the books and
manuscripts in the many communal
Libraries of the country. Availing him
self of his opportunities, of the care
lessness and ignorance of the custodi-
ans, and u consummate knowledge of
the treasures unveiled to him, he quiet
ly and leisurely despoiled the libraries
of hundreds of their choicest manu-
scripts and most precious heirlooms,
carefully obliterating afterward all
signs that might lead to their identified
tion.
How the collection thus acquired
came into the possession of the late
Lord Ashburnham; by what means
Libri's robberies were afterwards dis
covered and traced back to him; to-
gether with the recent sale of the library
at a stupendous increase of price, and
the methods by which the French gov
ernment finally recovered a portion of
their long-lost treasures, form most
remarkable and romantic chapter in lit
erary history.

At the window, with my crutches, as the
daylight fades away,
I sit and watch the shadows meath the
hoary NAPLES play;
1t 10 then 1hear the music of a bugle loud
and shrill,
And the long roll in the twilight seems to
come from yonder hill;
But awake or dreaming ever I can see the
old blue lines,
And again the army marches-marcheS
underneath the pines.
with tread that echoes ever in the vet
eran's heart to-day,
Marches still that grand old army, 'mong
the trees so far away:
And / see its banners floating proudly
'gainst the azure sky,
Just as though beneath my window 1t to-
uay were passing by;
can recognize the comrades touching ell
bows as of yore,
with beautiful devotion that will live
forever more:
And the sun in cloudless heavens upon
blade and bay'net shines,
And the breezes stir the pennons OF the
army in the pines.
Sitting here count the marches one can
never more forget,
I can see the cleaning camp-fires when
the stars their watch have set;
Yonder rides the graybeard colonel. with
a comrades smile for all,
1nat morning IN the WluerIeSS, ne was
the first to fall:
1 remember how we laid him meath the
dark green branches low,
And turned to meet the charges of the ever
valiant foe;
I seem to hear wars thunder as II rolled
along our lines,
Waking not the dear old colonel, sleeping
sweetly meath the pines.
But my crutches oft remind me that our
battle flags are furld
That where we fought the angel Peace pro-
claims to all the world
That love cements the sections and that,
brothers true to-day,
Beneath the starry banner fair stand both
the Blue and Gray:
The roses bloom in beauty where we heard
the mad shells scream,
And southern lilies grow beside the squad
ron guarded stream,
And everywhere, this sacred day, love
gratefully entwines
"A fragrant wreath in memory of the army
in the pines.
The sound of music thrills me; they are
coming down the street,
plainly hear upon the wind the tramp
of many feet:
With natures treasures beautiful they
march again to keep
Memorial day and crown the boys where
side by side they sleep;
They see me at the window and salute me
as they pass,
lift my hand and smile on them, but very
soon they pass.
Ny old. old eyes grow misty and cannot
the lines.
Though I seem to hear the army once again
among the pines.
There's another army marching meath
the heavens soft and blue,
Its leaders are not many now, its privates,
too, are few:
One by one they cross the river to the camp
where all Is STILL
Where drums to battle never beat and
bugles never thrill;
Memorial day grows sweeter as the long
years glide away,
And loving nature yields her gifts alike for
Blue and Gray;
And soon where the last veteran sleeps
will creep the summer vines,
And evermore will silent be the camps
among the pines

and from two to half a dozen couples
