To say that men are void of senti-
ment is to state an untruth. They are
full of it and. given the occasion to call
1t forth, can display more sentiment to
the square inch than any woman who
ever lived. A couple of old soldiers.
for instance, with only pair of feet
or hands between them will reel of
sentiment by the yard for hours at
stretch. These old veterans have pack
ages of letters tied with the yellow rib
bons that came around "Uncle Sans"
cigars-letters penned by hands they
never SO much as saw. let alone press
ed, written to soldier lad and filled
with gfrlish exuberance. And they have
old sabers and faded sashes. brass but
tons and dilapidated shoulder straps.
Among those old traps will often be
found a housewife its tiny pockets
filed with needles, thread, pins. but
tons and an old thimble. How the
sight of that little bag sets that old
fellows tongue to flying! If you just
have time to listen to him, he will give
you the whole history of the war, and
it will all center around that little
comfort bag
