larger sum than ever raised before for
a similar purpose, and Is going to put
Louisville at her wits ends to keep

tain 10000 veterans free of cost, 50
that all those veterans unable to pay

fully provided for.
The Daughters are to have 1000 to
spend at their headquarters In enter.
tanning their lady guests. and every.
thing will be in keeping with the
occasion.
The last day will be Forrest days
when the corner stone Of the eques-

laid.
Many amusements and entertain.

ranged for, and the veteran who stays

NUMBER IL.
LOW STANDARD.

"He is a rascal, but lie makes money
and that Is all that counts these
days" l overheard that expression
as ] passed a party OF men stand
inp on the street corner one day
this week. l returned to my Office,
the remark still ringing In my ears,
and sat down and asked myself the
question-Can 1t he true? did not
know who this man was talking
about. did not care.
/. The only question that interested
me was the low degree OF morals, pu.
crescent and Shiny ideals, the mud
roofing and slop drinking aspirations
Of the person who would measure
character by that standard. 1t seem.
ed to me to be base asperation Of
the Americen citizen. Is IT true that
money, however acquired, sis all that
counts these days?" Is it possible
that mind with all the beautiful vir-
tues which adorn and gloriiy our cher.
ished ideals Of human character are
but superauous ornamentation? Is
the gold that gilds the Strengthened
forehead OF the fool" Of more lasting
worth, and "counts for more" than
the superb intellect which shaped the
classic brow, the generous heart that
loves and helps mankind, and the gor.
geous corruscation the face Of the
philosopher, the patriot and the poet?
l cannot think so. And yet am al.
most persuaded that Tennyson was
looking squarely in the face Of Now
when he said:
"What is this that should turn to,
lighting upon days like these,
Every door is barred with gold and opens
but to golden keys"
Money. wealth has its place, It's du.
ties, and it should perform an impor.
tant function In The economy Of the
world, but he is a s0rdid thing indeed
who holds it to be the one and only
thing excellent. There are some men
who would nibble the toe nails Of Il
rich leper with the relish that mouse
nibbles its sweet cheese, for a slight
consideration, and there are also thou.
sands who would sell honor, sacrifice
/ virtue, cut throat or scuttle ship
for a few pennies. But thank God
even in this wealth debeauched age
such men are in the minority. The
saving grace OF common honesty Is
still triumphant with the people, and
right, justice and decency though Of
ten ovcrpowered will ultimately rise
victorious. Money counts for much
but its influence is limited and
it reign necessarily ephemeral;
while the influence OF a noble char
acter is infinite, everlasting and in.
destructable as God himself.-J. X.

LOVE FOR OUR FRIENDS: COURTESY FOR ALL; FEAR FOR
YOU SHALL SEE.

Guileless child, be gay, be gay!
For the hours Of childhood fee;
Soon will pass that happy day,
As the roses bloom and fade.
"What! So quickly pass awayi"
You shall see, my gentle maid;
You shall see.
Now the path you tread may seem
A fair bower, with flower and tree
But at mornings early beam
win unsightly thornsjappear.
"Then If flowers are but dream?"
Nothing but dream, my dear;
You shall see. &
Now the roses in your face,
Hold their blooming revelry;
But tomorrow you will trace,
Sorrows tears and signs Of woe.
"What! The tears come and eraser"
You shall see how they can flow;
You shall see.
And, Elmira dear, be gay,
While peace broodeth over thee;
Dream, and revel for a day
In love which is unreal.
Glove is but myth, you say"
And as sad as tits ideal;
You shall see.
Now the future seems to smile,
And the past looks bright to thee.
That fair star which would beguile,
Like the wind will soon blow DER.
"What! 1t shines so little while?"
Yes, moment, nothing more;
You shall see.
But, my little girl, don't cry;
For though days Of grief must be,
Know that sorrows tears soon dry,
When the soul is reconciled.
"Even tears cease by-and-byw
Tears are not eternal, child;
You shall see.

And tore one corner

With a hairpin;
Then she read what

So beautifully!

Well, she placed

In the pink envelope;
Then she kissed me.

As cherries,
And warm
As the summer sun.

And kisses me.

AUNT ANN's FORTUNE.
DY CHARLOTTE WHITNEY EASTMAN.

! remember Aunt Ann very we'll.
She used to make occasional visits to
our house when ! was young. We
children stood very much in awe to
her. Not that we had any reason to,
for she was kindness itself, but she was
so very large, and besides, she was
very rich; ut least, we children had
been often told that she was very rich.
When she sat down she overflowed our
best parlor rocker. She seemed to
spread out beyond the side and over
the back into as much space as there
was in the chair. When she spoke to
US we always answered, "No, ma'am,"
or, "Yes, maam," In the most proper
manner, for, Of course, Aunt Ann was
very rich. l remember that she often
asked me il liked to 20 to school, and
l always answered, "Yes, ma'am,"
though l wonder now that my tongue
was not scorched in the saying.
THAT is good girl" she said ap.
provingly, and gave me peppermint.
Then l tip.tocd out Of the room, for
Aunt Ann had no children, and OF
course she could not endure noise. We
were always quiet when she was with
US, fOr-well, Aunt Ann was very rich.
She usually brought something in her
bag for US, but we never appeared to
expect anything. We were always
properly surprised when VIC received
1t.
How we'll remember the day she
opened her purse and called me to her.
How my imagination played round the
contents OF that pocketbook! She was
lingering something inside, and look
INK at me over her glasses.
"How old are you, A nnie?" she asked.
My name was Annie, but that was
nothing. There were seven other An
nies in the family. In fact, every girl
that had been born since Aunt Ann
had become so very rich had been
named Annie.

A COMr1ON TROUBLE.
THOUSANDS SUFFER FROM IT wTTHOU,
KNOWING IT'S REAL CHARACTER

No trouble Is more common more misunder-
stood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it
think that their nerves are to blame, surprised
that they not cured by medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat Of the mischief Is
lost sight Of the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain
whatever In the stomach, nor perhaps any Of the
usual symptoms Of stomach weakness. Nervous
dyspepsia shows itself not In the stomach SO much
as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in others, the
kidneys are affected; In others, the bowels are
troubled with loss Of flesh and appetite, with the
accumulation OF gas. sour risings and heartburn.
