Organized LaWlesane eaR.

The st. Louis car strikers are still attracting
attention to themselves, and the Governor OF
Missouri contemplates ordering the State
militia to the city. The press reports are
clearly In sympathy with the strikers, as will
be seen by the account which we print.
The labor union strikers seem to be q
menace to the peace and prosperity of the
country, and stringent laws should be enacted
to restrain them in their lawlessnes, and to
punish them for disregard of either law or
the rights of others. Labor unions have never
built up any businss. They generally seek
to strike down business. Organized lawless-
ness needs speedy and exemplary punish
ment.

Interstate, Philippine Islands and
South American ExpOSitfOn,

Abbeville having about settled its mind
on the proposed cotton mills, oil mills, knit
ting mills, and roller mills, attention Is now
asked to the Great Interstate, Philippine
Islands and South American Exposition
which may take place at Abbeville, as soon
as the necessary preparation can be had.
is earnestly hoped that our people will
realize the immense advantage which this
Exposition will be, not only TO Abbeville, but
to the whole State.
The idea Of this Great Exposition was sug-
gested not long ago by one OF our most enter
prising citizens and it seems that the pros
poets are all that the most enthusiastic lover
OF Abbevlle could expect. Let the good
work 60 on. Abbeville is bound to become
the hub of the universe or the centre Of
gravity.

"And did he remember us? Did
he send any message?" Mrs. Hills
sobbed
ayes, aforementioned; he mentioned
you especially. He said I should tell
you that he was glad it was himself
instead of either one of the other boys;
that he was sure he could be best
spared. But Joe always was modest. "
Best spared! Mrs. Hills recalled
her own words. He could be spared
at the time he went away, and the
others were so precious. But never
to see him again. This patient,
silent, unappreciated sonl
The manner of Joe's death was told
over his remains, and each year as

whose grave is marked by a tall monu-

are always flying.

"Joe, why have you done this?" his
father asked.
''For the same reason that other
men are doing the same thing; be-
sides, it looks to me as if family of
five men ought to produce at least one
soldier"
Yes, it does look that way" his
mother said, in a hard, unnatural
tone; "and don't see how any OF the
rest could be spared. I hope you'll
keep your wits about you, and try to
understand what's said to you, and
not bring any" she hesitated,
came near saying "more," but fin
ished, "any discredit on u.s."
"I'll do my best, mother, as L al
ways do"
After Joe was gone he was missed
by the home folks because of the work
he had done. His older brothers
found it a continual joke that Joe had
gone to be soldier.
There were letters, dutiful and
kindly, from Joe to his father and
mother. After q time he mentioned
skirmishes and battles he had been
in. Once he was wounded, and wrote
from d hospital. His name was in the
newspaper lists. After seeing his
name in print Joe's family knew that
he was no longer private. He was
mentioned as Lieutenant Joseph
Hills. There was general pause Ill
the family conversation.
The mother said, "Since he was
the only one that could be spared,
I'm glad he's doing so WE'LL"
1t was Sunday afternoon, and all
the Hills family were at the farm.
There was step on the porch. Mr..
Hills arose and met at the door a
man in soldier-blue. His face was
pale and thin and his right arm was
in sling.
"You don't know me?" he said,
smiling; and then Mr.. Hills recog-
nized Jim Smalley, who had gone
into the army with Joe. He was
warmly welcomed, but he responded
coldly.
Jack said, "Well, I say, Jim, isn't
our Joe coming out in fine feather?
You see him once in awhile, even if
he is an officer, don't you?"

Antietam from Hagerstown to Sharps-

Antietam from Hagerstown to Sharps-
burg.
God alone knows who owned the
good right arm, the photograph OF
which is above, but it probably be-
longed to one of General Sedgwick's
commands, who made theif famous
charge through the cornield just
north and east of the historic Bunker
Church, for it was plowed up in this
field five years after the battle, aud
has been since that time in the Office
of Drs. d. Fahrney and son, of
Hagerstown, Nd. Its wonderful state
of preservation cannot be accounted
for, as q chemical analysis of the soil
in which it was found shows no pre-
serving or mum mifying qualities.
The other picture is of the old mill
and falls just above the stone bridge
which was the scene of a bloody cen
hict between the Federals, who were
defending Hager stown, and the Con-
federates, who were endeavoring to
gain possession of the town. 1t is
said the slaughter of horse and men
was such at this cavalry fight that the
Antietam ran blood for several hours
below these falls. The groundIn this
locality, especially along tue banks OF
the stream, is almost solid rock, and
the blood ran rapidly into the creek.
There is a gentleman in Chicago,
having an Office in the Board of Trade
Building, who was major in the
Federal army and provost marshal OF
Hagerstown at that time.
Just over the hill back of the little
brick house shown i'll the picture IS q
female academy, from the balcony OF
which the Confederate sharpshooters
were firing upon the Union officers
down in the city, and there are to this
day many musket balls bedded in the
walls around the public square at the
crossing of Washington and Potomac
streets.
The Eighth Illinois Cavalry was en-
gagged in these skirmishes, and many
members of that organization, which
was under command of Colonel w.
Gamble, will call to mind the hot time
in that old town.

Jennie answered, with flushing cheeks
and downcast eyes.
She lifted her eyes. Joe's face was
very near her own. The twilight was
deepening. Their lips met, and each
felt that this was their betrothal.

Gratefully X ememb cred.

The annual occurrence of the day
when the nation pays its tribute to and
reveres and honors the dead who
fought for the preservation of the
Union, who suffered and shaved aud
sacrificed everything, even life, for the
country they loved, brings to the at.
tention of all patriots the fact that
those who serve the nation are not for
gotten. Though they have passed
away, the boys who wore the blue are
remembered, and their graves are dec
grated by loving hands, that appre-
ciate and respect and honor their
courage and services.

Sudan Baby.

In the Church of All Saints in Cairo
took place lately an interesting cere-
mony, where an infant memorial Of the
overthrow of khalifadom in Africa was
christened in the presence of large
gathering of English people and under
the auspices Of Queen Victoria. The
small heroine OF the gathering was the
daughter Of Col. Sir Reginald Wingate
(pasha, sirdar of the Egyptian army
and governor Of the Sudan and Of
Lady Wingate. The queen, represented
by the Hon. Mrs. Talbot, was the prin-
cipal godmother. The child was
born the day after Sir Reginald
Wingate's victory over the khalifa at
ON Debrikat, where the dervishes were
routed and the khalifa killed. Her
majesty presented a diamond pendant
to her godchild, who also received
handsome cup from Lord Cromer,
golden cross from the bishop of Jeru-
salem, who performed the ceremony,
and diamond cross from Sir R. Slatin.

seventeen and a month, but he was
tall and large and looked twenty. So
he signed his name and was accepted.
1t was a possibility that his mother
had never imagined. She was patri-
otto, though she averred she belonged
to the peace party. She did not be-
lieve in war. And now, not forty
miles from the farm, was this loud
mouthed, shoulder-strapped fellow
inveigling her boy and others into
signing his papers. She would see
about it.
OF Mrs. Hills four sons Jack was
her favorite. Simon, the eldest was
in business, and married. He was
already making great gains on his
merchandise because of the state of
the country and the fears of the flu
ture. He would most assuredly not
enlist.
Eben had recently graduated from
medical college. He talked loftily
about going into the field as surgeon
if Uncle Sam needed him. But as
common soidier?-"no, thank you"
Next there was Joe. 1t was the
general opinion in the family and the
neighborhood that Joe was good be-
cause he lacked strength of character
to be otherwise. No one knew his de-
ficieucy better than did his mother.
He had always been the stupid one of
the family. He was the drudge for
his mother and brothers.
Jack, the youngest of the quartette
Of sons, was the darling of the house.
He was the brightest of the family.
And now he had enlistedl
On the evening Of the day that
Major Seely had released Jack, Joe
was coming home from the Raynor
farm house. The Hills and the Ray
nor farms joined. Jennie Raynor met
Joe in the shadow of hedge. Of all
the girls in the neighborhood Jennie
was the only one who had been kind
to Joe. On this evening, after talk
ing over Jack for some time, Joe said:
''If I should enlist I don't believe
mother would try to get me off.
Jennie hesitated. She felt that Joe
spoke the truth. After a pause she
continued, "But you won't enlist,
Joe?"
II don't know; I'd rather volunteer
than be drafted. L don't like the

so much harm
'Then he'll be captain or something
higher?" Jack exclaimed, eagerly, and
springing from his chair.
"No, he won't be anything"
Smalley said, sadly.
"But why?" Mrs. Hills asked,
sharply.

There was the sound of slow-mov-

the gate, draped with the Stars and

A Graceful Custom.

1t is a graceful and benefcent GUS
tom which has been established of de-
voting one day in the year especially
to the commemoration of the virtues
of the dead. Their memory comes to
us, hidden or unbidden. 1t comes
with the morning light; it comes with
the evening shades; it comes in the
stiffness of the night. Whenever it
comes it is always welcome and
precious. Indeed, one of our chief
companionships, which we cultivate
and enjoy more almost than any other,
is the recollection of those we have
loved and lost.
