THE G. A. Il. CAMPFIRE.


The Camire OF George Fl. Legate
Post OF this city was held at their
hall, on last Thursday evening The
program was carried out to the letter,
with one or two extras thrown in.
These were, a recitation by Mrs.
M. Il. Priestley, speeches by Mr.. j. p.
Smoker and Rev. r, Kent, and some
selections by the quartet.
The man who captured Jefferson
Davis - General Harnden - was the
center Of attraction. The capture OF
Davis seems SO far away, that 1t was
hard to realize that here WAS man
who did that--one who stands between
the present and the past; a man who
took an active and prominent part
In that which oblitcrated forever the
Mason and Dixon line, and made one
country forever and who, today,
speaks to us as II living embodiment
of that time. Such one must always
be interesting figure through all
these years; but which we do not
value as we should until IL IL too
late. The audience felt all this, on
Thursday evening, and gave the vet
eran the close attention that his past
history and character deserve. His
address dealt largely with inequal-
tiles In the pension laws, which he
hopes, through tho organized efforts
OF the different Posts throughout the
country, to wipe out. He spoke vt
length, In simple and direct way,
and held his audience to the close.
The speeches that followed, by Rcvs.
j. Hardcastle and II, Kent, and Mr..
Smoker, were OF N popular order,
and were we'll received.
The meeting broke up ut 1880 p. m.
with the ever memorable selection,
"Home, Sweet Home" This was
we'll rendered by the choir, which
consisted of Messrs. Cork, Williams,
Hughes and lIuxtable, with Mrs.
Harwick ut the organ.
II 1t Is only just to say that Mr..
James B. Prideaux, ~ commander,
presided with quiet dignity that
called forth favorable comments on
all sides.
The supper. ~ furnished by the
good people OF Mineral Point the
the list OF givcrs showed that their
interest had not abatcd, nor were they
short In their larder We are glad
to know that these donations, and
price charged for supper, will enable
the Post to continue It's worthy char
tiles towards deserving veterans.

hall OF the Primitive Methodist

II of the Christmas tide spread itself

and wife practically the host and
hostess of the evening did every
thing (and successfully to make all
Corners feel welcomed, and to leave

After all had been served vt the

T. Kent very APPLY and readily, in his
speech, completed the quotation
showing thereby his extensive read
ing. Rev. George Merritiold, of the
M. 4. Church, gave an admirable
outline of his impression of the
Churches, and their people, OF our
city, We are glad to note that they
were more than favorable, Pastor
Kent, who followed, summed up tn,
situation In n few vigorous remarks
how that there was the PASTORS side
as we'll rs the peoples side, and IL
its recognition the years of parochia

Editor of The Times:
Sir.-David Harum declared that 1t was
not the fun he had had that troubled him,
but that it was thinking of the good times
he might have had and didn't, and we
think that there is wonderful amount OF
philosophy and truth in David ooser-
walton.
The good tins we might have had and
din't, Think of il; the pleasures we have
missed simply because we failed to en-
brace the opportunity as il was presented
the pleasant evenings we might have
spent. the hours of Joy we might have
heightened the friends VA might have
made. and still more the friendships we
might have retained or cemented. which
have ben lost to use merely for the want
Of a little exertion on our part. Think OF
the opportunities fer pleasure. for profit
and Improvement we have lost through
neglect. Think of the pains and head
aches we have caused. OF the feelings we
have wounded. and the friends we have
aliena;ed merely by our Indifference.

objected to paying duty ait the rate OF

This does not mean that there is no
difference between elephant IVORY and hip

understand their vocat on can distinguish
a difference even between the various
kinds of elephant ivory before it has been

just what animal the ivory originally
came, but the ordinary purchaser can see
no difference.
H.ppopotamus ivory answers every mer-
