There was shipped from Van

idea of what the shipments would

of one week. Careful estimates

The following patriotic words
are an extract taken from a
speech delivered by Hon. H. F,
Auten at Little Rock on Decora-
ton Day:
"When the flag Of the Con-
federacy was furled the hero of
Appomattox said: Let us have
peace Our immortal Lincoln,
standing on the storm swept field
OF carnage, whore, side by side,
the blue and the gray were ST.
lently sleeping, lifted his hands
in pitying benediction, and said:
'They are all brothers; they are
all brothers, So today let us
not forget that while our flag was
planted upon the battlements Of
victory, another flag went down
in the dust AMI gloom Of dAfeat.
That flag has been borne aloft by
American fleemon. They were
our brothers. Just across yonder
fence they sleep.
81 trust that from these beauti-
ful flowers, brought by loving
hands to garland the graves Of
the boys who once wore the blue,
a wreath may be entwined about
yonder granite shaft beyond the
wall, that speaks Of the chivalry,
the manhood and the heroism Of
those who, under the Stars and
Bars, laid down their lives for the
lost cause, u''' Oh.'F r'..' '. '''
81 would have this done, not
alone Tor those who Sleep yonder,
but in honor also Of the survivors
of that lost cause, who, since that
time, have 50 gallantly upheld
our flag, and for those and thoir
Sons who within the past year,
under the Stars and Stripes, have
gone down TO death to preserve
this emblem Of liberty, and who
today are sleeping their eternal
sleep upon the distant slopes Of

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds of families live comfortably
on the profits Of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the Post
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An Investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies OF the
daily Post-Dispatch than the
combined sales of the two other
English evening papers.
One Of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and 60 when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way of "erying" out his
papers.
| The situation is quite different
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six o'clock the boys and men are
out in search Of buyers.
Thore are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 300
papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred papers has all
he can do to get over the ground,
