STRIVING FLOWERS.

The son of the south by the son of the north For God has battled with pride; The boys of the blue with the boys of the gray Have marched, fought, triumphed and died. Hence this morn in the patriot hearts that go To bless the patriots grave There turks no shadow of sectional hate, No curse for the southland's brave. True some died throat clnched people to save But they saved their own loved land; They tore from wrenched souls and hurled afar Black hatred's strangling hand. o God of battles, thee now we praise That battles at home are done; To thee true hearts in peans we raise That south and north are one.

The Voice of the Day,

Since last the flags crowned the patriot dead
 And the flowers kissed the graves of the brave, Red war has been loosed in freedoms cause
 Her soul crushed children to save. But two years ago when the flags unfurled And the flowers were strewn with a sob, Rank, poisonous hate embittered the hearts
 That meath the loved blue throb. This May the gray and the blue are kin;
 Shoulder to shoulder they've rushed Mid the hell of San Juan, and in fell charge
 Blood of north and of south has gushed.

WORKED IT BOTH WAYS.

Neat SwindIing Scheme That FIeeced Bucket Shop Patrons. ''If the real inside workings of the average bucket shop were laid bare," said telegraph operator who has had
 much experience in such establish
 mentS, 'the revelation would open the eyes of the young donkeys who imag- inc they can beat the game. Just to illustrate the point I'll tell you little story.
 "SOme time ago there were two rival | bucket shops in q certain southern city, supposed to be run by northern operators. Business was a little slow, and it was evident that the specula- tive element was inclined to be suspi- | cious of both establishments. One | day the manager of one of the concerns | hunted up a young fellow who had | more money than brains and, handing | him $50, asked him, as a special favor, ! to go over to the other house and make | such and such a play. It's a private | speculation of my own,' he said, and

 count of my connection with - & Go. If did they'd get suspicious right away
 ''The young idiot supposed, of course,
 that he had struck a bonanza-one
 bucket shop man playing against an- other! It must be q sure thing! So he
 not only placed the $50 as requested,
 but played the tip hard himself, and so l did all his friends, whom he promptly
 let into the secret. Needless to say,
 they were all eventually skinned out of
 every cent they put in, but the remark
 able part of the story is that the same tactics were worked back and forth
 by both managers on at least a dozen different occasions. Each time 1t was
 done they gathered in a lot of new
 clients and made big haul. It de-
 veloped not long afterward that the
 two bucket shops were run by the
 same people."-New Orleans Times l Democrat.

Had Driven Mules Before.

Daniel c. Pomeroy once prominent New York criminal lawyer, in his ear- ly life was stage driver on the old Butterfield line and gleaned his legal education largely upon the box seat of his coach or while change of horses was being made at the stations. He was associated with others in the de fense of one Mrs. Mccarthy on her trial at Utica for the murder of a man named Hall of Ogdensburg, who was killed by a bullet from her revolver which was aimed at another man. Judge Doolittle presided at the trial and seemed to believe in the prisoners guilt. The judge was bitter, and so was Pomeroy. The latter made an ob- jection and insisted upon it rather strenuously.
 "Mr. Pomeroy," said the judge, "I am not a horse and can't be driven'' "Well, your honor, I learned in my early experience to drive mules, and l will try to keep up my former reputa- n."-Philadelphia Call
