AUNT N 7 T

We are delighted to have with us
this week three gentlemen who enter
tain us admirably. 1 have been ac-
cused of being partial to our girls, but
[ wish to deny the charge. Never
having had a brother to whom l could
talk, of course it is perfectly natural
that I endeavor to persuade the girls
to be ideal women; at the same time
there is a tender place in my heart for
all boys, and a firm conviction that
there is in the makeup of every boy
material of which to make a man
not merely a person who will by and
by be allowed to vote and yea a nus
tache, but a man who will be capable
of doing much good in the world.
Did you ever think of the extent of
our world? [ mean the stay-at-home
members of the Circle, those who have
never been a hundred miles from their
birthplace. Well, what is the reputa-
ton you have gained in your neigh
borhood, your world? Is it one for
integrity and uprightness, or do the
old folks look at you cross-eyed, and
very often appear not to see you at
all?
It is nice for a boy to be popular
among the younger set, those of his
W age, but it is nicer still for the
older people to love him. Do not
wonder that I make this assertion, for
the young are often thoughtless and
look with lenient eyes on the tricks a
young fellow INDUCES in, thinking
them harmless, when in very truth
they are mere s~ignboards. on the road
to the country we older people fear
is his ultimate destination. Innocent
fun is all right and should be encour-
aged. A boy without what most of US
call "life" is usually a dull boy. There
is a vast difference in the qualities of
fun; in fact, what is considered such
by some boys, others would detest as
cruel or wrong.
Little acts tell plainly what a boy
is, and whether or not he will be a
man or a vagabond. If he has "grit"
enough to deliberately throw his Gig
arctic away when he learns that it
is harmful, he is made of good mate
rial, and if he persists in this policy,
will eventually win the race; but if in
the meantime he persuade some other
fellow to throw his away, too, his will
be a greater victory, for he will not
only save himself, but win the ever
lasting gratitude of a fellow being.
Did you ever teach a little fellow to
cheat when playing marbles, and then
some time afterward try a game with
him and have some of your tricks
tried successfully against you? Well,
you did not feel half so badly as you
would if you had asked a fellow to
take his first drink with you and then
some day find him in the ditch dead
drunk. Throw away your cigarette,
boys, and get some other fellow to do
likewise.

Cross, Memo, Tennessee Boy, Bashful
Sue, Cape Fear, Denton and Gertrude?

THE AUTHOR OF "THE BIvOUAC OF THE
DEAD"


DEAD"
Regarding the poem published in
the first column of this page, Mr..
John A. Buckner writes as follows in
the Lake Providence, La, Banner:
Having lately seen a beautiful tri-
butte to Theodore O'Hara, author. of
the immortal poem, "The Bivouac of
the Dead" and as O'Hara was my
personal friend and assistant in the
Adjutant Generals Office of the Ken
lucky division, commanded by Major
General Breckenridge, I take pleas
ure in sending you an extract from the
article, with the full poem, which I
have carried in my note book ever
since the war.
It is worthy of record that this son
of the South produced the one per-
feet and universal martial elegy that
the world has known, and that the
South has been absolutely unmindful
of this fact. The first of these state
ments is proven by the fact that with
out any advertisement or ~exploita-
tiOns, the wonderful words have, in
the fifty years since they were writ
ten, permeated the whole world, and
been laid hold on by English-speak-
ing people everywhere to celebrate
their honored dead who passed away
in battle. Upon Crimean battlefelds,
the resting place of English heroes
is marked by a great monument, on
which shine O'Hara's matchless words,
and yet England did not know from
whom she borrowed when she wrote
them:
con fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead"
Perhaps the anonymous character
of the poem was a blessing, since it is
doubtful if the Federal Government
of the United States would have used
the lines in such lavish fashion in
immortalizing the dead of the Union
Army, had they been recognized as
the product of the genius of a soldier
and officer of the other side. In any
case, they did not know, and every
national cemetery in America has
gained thereby, since they are not only
the most appropriate but the only APP
propriate lines for such a purpose.
Over the gateway of the Nationl
Cemetery at Washington the famous
first stanza is engraved, and there, as
at Antietam and other national GENE
teries the entire poem is reproduced,
stanza by stanza, on slabs placed along
the driveway.
O'Hara lies in the burying ground
at Frankfort, KY, with only the in
scription on a simple slab of marble
which says:

THEODORE O'HARA,

The poem was written on the occa-
sion of the removal of the Kentucky
dead from Mexico to their native
State after the war with that country.

Part of the discrepancy may be ae-
counted for by the fact that on Friday
there was a transfer through the sub
treasury to San Francisco of $500, 0e0.

drawn from the banks on the last of
the bank week. which Withdrawals were

banks from $1,000 0 to ST. eo, coo, the to-
tai capital of the clearing house banks
has been augmented to S1O1 ,172, 700; the
surplus and net profits are $11S575, 700.

that eight of the larger banks increased

expanded loans by So, 400, 600 and another
