came to the old home where we had
been so happy.
Before many years our sister Sara,
or Tote as we still call her, married,
and later was left with two little
girls, who, since growing up to wo-
manhood, have passed away. A
second marriage with julius Knowles
of Eden again placed her in pleas
ant and comfortable home, where
two SONS have grown up to be COM
fort to the father and mother, who
are still living and with us to-day.
Poor mother survived our father for
thirty years, about twenty years
in quiet little home of her own and
among the children, till she, too,
finished the labors of life and passed
to her reward. And now to-day we
meet to honor their memory and keep
in remembrance the old happy days
when we were children at home with
father and mother. | never walk
upon these grounds without think
ing how many times dear fathers
footsteps have pressed the ground
where now | am; of the many times
he has been over these fields in hard
labor, often in WEAKNESS and in pain;
how hard he worked; how hard the
boys worked; how hard mother
worked to make the home what it
was and how much we have to love,
honor and respect in the memory of
our father and mother and the home
they made for us, and when | think
how father used to pray for us that
it might never be said of any of us
that "The harvest is past and the
summer ended and our souls not
saved" my own prayer is, God grant
it,
1t may be interesting to some
to know how we stand in re-
gard to the numberof descendants, so
| will Just add that all the children
who lived to grow up are still living,
making as we stand to-day, five
children, eighteen grandchildren and
twenty mine great grandchildren, a
total of ffty-two living direct de.
scendents of our parents and we are
glad to meet so many of them here,
and also glad to see so many other
relatives and friends. We thank you
for your presence and attention and
wish you a happy afternoon and
some plea SAINT rememberances to
carry with you. EN-

The Soldiers Grave,

Written and set to music by VIM. l. Uber
in the early days OF the Rebellion
How sacred the spot, where enshrined in the
tomb,
The remains OF the soldier rlpose.
Let the birds sing their songs in sweet har-
mony tuned,
And plant DER his bosom the rose.
Then hallow the spot where the soldier sleeps,
Who his life so freely gave.
o plant the rose where the willow weeps,
To bloom DER the soldiers grave.
Let the wild flowers bloom in profusion
around.
Let the green willows gracefully wave,
For the spot where they flourish is hallowed
ground
IT'S the soldiers, the brave soldiers, grave.
Tho tear drops may fall on the green turf
growing,
Tk,' fond hearts with sorrow are riven,
There's one thought remaining his absence
to cheer,
Twas for freedom his young life was given.
0 then give US freedom for each and for all,
The boon which our forefathers gave
Is fair as the morning bright glow on the
flowers
That bloom on the soldiers grave.

portunity to make known their views
and unburden their hearts on the
great question which is before the
people of our state and which cannot
be ignored by them because they are
largely responsible for the culture and

The Rock of Gibraltar Is an ideal
of the birds from Africa on their spring
passage. 1t is not such general
resting-place and Crossroads" as Is
Heligoland; but, standing as 1t does
at the narrowest point in the Mediter-
ranean, it forms one of the jetties at
the birds crossing-place, while the
neighborhood Of Tangier is the CORE
spending pier of this invisible bridge.
For five seasons the arrival of the
birds was very carefully watched by
Colonel Irby, who also acquired the
notes of French naturalist, M. Fav-
ier, who lived for 80 years in Tangier.
The notes, both of M. Favier and Of
Colonel Irby, give us something more
than a plimpse, not only Of the arrival
of the birds which mean to settle for
the summer in Spain, but of what we
never see, and very few people ever
realize to be taking place when they
do see it, the passage of the birds
midway on the journey from Equator
ial Africa to England Some, the swal-
lows, for instance. drop detachments
probably along the whole line from
North Africa to Sweden. Some stop
at Tangier, some at Gibraltar, some in
Spain, some, doubtless, along the
French coast Others come to Eng
land, others go on still further. There
is every reason to believe that 1t Is
the same pair of birds which stays
each year at its usual nesting place.
Yet there is nothing to stop them
where they do stop, except free Will.
What can there be in the mind of one
swallow Matched last year which takes
the little bird to Seville, while an
other will not be content till it reaches
Christianla? M. Favier says that
great flights Of swallows pass the
Straits from Africa to Europe In jan
uary and February, returning in Sep
tember and October to join those
which have remained at Tangier to
nest. Then they all go further south
| for the winter" Where they go he
did not know; but they are now said
| to be found all over Africa in midwin-
| ter. "The Moors say that 1t offends
| God to kill a swallow as much as it
conciliates Satan to kill a raven" says
| M. Favier, "and that swallows and
storks were inspired by Allah for The
| destruction of flies and noxious rep
| tiles The Spectator.

The Cinnamon who are market gar
dening out at Astoria have begun to
feel the same prosperity that is COM
ing to the farmers out west. Lee
Wah, who has a truck farm on the
road opposite st. Michaels cemetery,
said that he had never made money
SO easily as this year.
There never was such demand for
vegetables. Lee Wah says he has
made more than $1,000 so far this year
out of his green stuff. His customers
are the Chinese laundrymen, who go
to Mott street on Sundays to do their
marketing.
People out at Astoria say the Chin
ese truck farmers ought to be prosper
Gus. They are always pittering
round in their gardens. From long
before daylight until long after dark
they are out there. Every day they
are at work.
There are four or five other Chin
ese truck farmers in Astoria besides
Lee Wah. They are sevral thousand
dollars to the good already this sea-
son.-New York Sun.

The love of animals always indi-
Gates a noble and gentle character,
and doubtless Queen Alexandra's love
of animals has endeared her doubly
to her many subjects. Englands
queen has collection of pets at Sand
bingham that contains wide variety,
embracing dogs, chickens, doves,
horses and parrets. Many years ago,
when she visited Ireland, dove was
given her as an emblem of peace and
goood will, and on her return to Lon
don she bought mate for it. Their
descendants are numerous, and the
queen always has one specially trained
for her boudoir. This particular pet
has its cage in the room, and will leave
it at her call to perch on her finger
or nestle on her shoulder. These
doves are all white, with pink eyes.
A small island In pool is the home
of a number of foreign birds. Among
them are some curious specimens, of
which several oyster catchers are re-
garded as peculiarly interesting by
their owner. They have black and
white plumage and long red bills,
which they use like scissors to detach
the mollusk. Three turtle doves are
recent additions. They were on
board the steamer when her majesty
returned from Denmark last year, and
she became so fond Of them that they
were sent to Sandringham. The
queens kennels are extensive, and in
them are collies, Newfoundlands, deer
hounds and otner varieties. Ter per-
sonal pets are two Japanese spaniels,
carrying them everywhere with her.
Each KENNEL has bedroom and
sitting-room, and all open upon large
central courtroom. There is also a
hospital, and when dog dies it Is
buried in a little cemetery and
tombstone is placed over its grave.
Sam, the poodle who was a pet of
Princess Victoria, lies here. The
princess used to have the clippings
from his long and silky coat made into
yarn for crocheting little shawls.
Queen Alexandra is well known by
every dog in the kennel. Horses come
in for goodly share of her majesty's
affection. She has been fine horse
woman from childhood, and still rides
nearly every day.

OF mufner, which he called "a stock,
and when he saw the wheat stacks
looming brown upon the yellow hills
he said he supposed those were bee
hives" When he saw Silas milking
the COW he wondered why somebody
hadn't invented an automatic COW
milker; he didn't know beans from
buckwheat in the fields, and he could
mt bait his own fish hook because. he
said, the worm made him feel
creepy" But he took a marked lik-
ing for Silas, and the widow began to
think that he was very capable and
even brilliant young man. In ex-
change for innumerable courtesies ne
told the farmer boy that If he would
come to Chicago "he would never

resorter. "Why, a fellow that knows
as much as you do about farm machin-

such things. You wouldn't catch me

And Silas not only believed 1t, but
in long talks with his mother at night
after the boarder was gone to bed he
drew such roseaue pictures Of his
hopes, his ambitions, and such gloomy,
desperate predictions Of "his finish" If

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Love lifts.
Virtue is wealth.
The light needs no label.
Destiny depends on origin.
Innocence is not character.
Treachery leads to tragedy.
Self is a synonym for all sin.
Disposition is more than position.
Silence is often the sign Of strength.
Pride needs to look out for puncture.
Many small engine has big whis-
tle..
Your life will be worth what it costs
you.
The man who thinks leads the
crowd.
Better a fair failure than a false
success.
A good man will always find~some
good in men.
God sends the seed, but we must
furnish the soil.
To lose sympathy with men is to
miss success with them.
The lesser things of life are the
ones we can least afford to lose.
Small vices may be fordable one
at time, but they soon unite into an
impossible river.-Ram's Horn.

HOW THINGS LOOK AT FORTY.

Men on Reaching Mature Age Cannot
Account for Foilies of Youth.
The chief distinction between 90 and
40 seems to be that the youth is
buoyed with the wisdom of conceit,
whereas the man is burdened with the
conceit of wisdom.
1t is very silly thing to generalize
from ones own personal experience.
Nearly all the men know are liars,
yet doubtless l touch elbows with
truth every day.
At 20 you blush when man praises
you, at 80 you think him a clever fel-
low; at 40 you wonder what he wants.
Be prepared from early youth to
make the most splendid self-sacrifices,
provided you do not change your mind
as to their utility.
The cynic is the most conceited OF
human beings. He believes all men
are knaves or fools, and excepts him
self
Friendship is a benefit association
Qimited) which, by going bankrupt,
enables you to discover that you are
your own best friend.
Persons who have never nursed an
illusion may have laid up a dollar or
two, but all their money can never buy
the delights of a dreamer.
What shock to the virtuous man
who late in life discovers that the
principles he fought hardest for were
only prejudices.
1t is an appalling possibility that at
80 may pity the fool at 40-myself-
as at present cannot account for my
folly at 25.
A compensation of personal tragedy
is that it frequently quickens the vic
TINS sense of humor.
A pessimist is not a good many
things he thinks he is, but he is some
thing he never thought of-one who is
constantly trying to stand in his own
shadow.
An optimist is a good many things
he thinks he isn't; but chiefly he is
simply a person afraid to face the
truth.
A keen sense of the ridiculous may
be a bar to success, but as long as you
keep it you will never feel yourself
wholly failure.

CAUGHT AT THEIR TRICKS.
Two Parties of Anglers Had Been Play
in. the same Game.

ing the same Game.
Rochester, N. Y, is laughing at the
ludicrous outcome of a fishing trip
taken by a dozen well known young
society men to the Manitou waters the
other day. The bass and pickerel were
running well, and large catches had
been made. These twelve sportsmen
resolved to take try at luck. They
divided up into two parties, six in
a boat, and each side put up bet OF
$40 that it would return to the hotel
at a given hour with the larger catch.
There was bit of a gale on the lake,
and the fish were striking poorly,
wnen one boatload saw an aged angler
pulling for shore near by them. He
was hailed, and held up a fine catch
of pickerel, weighing altogether with
several bass and perch, about forty
five pounds. There were several big
fellows in the lot, and the eager occu-
pants of Boat No. l hit upon bril-
liant expedient. Dickering followed.
and finally the veteran fisherman ex-
changed his catch for six one-dollar
bills, each member Of the party put
ting in the same sum.
wait" they whispered exultantly
when the old man had pulled away.
We'll make those jack spots in the
other boat feel like thirty Canadian
pennies"
The aged fisherman, knowing the
waters Thoroughly, instead OF departing
for home, sought a sheltered cove and
caught five more pickerel, which
weighed about twenty-five pounds. By
chance he met the party in boat No.
2, and, fate lowering aroud with sup
pressed laughter, they had flash Of
genius like that which animated boat
No. 1, and the old fisherman sold the
catch for $3.50. Then he went back
and tished for an hour longer and
caught = nine pound pike.
Wait" said boat No. 2, wait, and
We'll make the other gang feel like
a counterfeit note in the fist of a treas
ury expert"
The two boatloads met on the hotel
piazza, and boat No. 1 crowed loudly
and exuberantly with joy. They had
forty-five pounds of fish. Boat No. 2
was chagrined; it had only twenty
five pounds. Just then the aged angler
appeared around the corner dragging
a nine pound pike. He was just and
square man, and he went up to the
spokesman of boat No. 2.
Here" he said, "the string l sold
to you fellers want quite SO good ez
that I sold to the other fellers, so I'll
throw TO you this here nine pound
yaller pike fer half a dollar"
And then there was a tableau. AS
for the aged angler, he is wondering
yet, what in thunder made them durn
dudes all holler ter wunst fer?"-New

He Tried It Once Too Often.

A professional burglar in Berlin
found a new and original way Of add

a full account of it to one of the daily

payment in the usual way. But he
tried his plan once too often. The edi-

An omnious silence greeted Bobby's

his eye; his clothes were disarranged,

Bobby pretended to find point of

mamma, in tone that was meant to
be sorrowful. ~
Thus challenged, Bobby fell back q 4

"He hit me first, mama," he pleaded.
"Ah. but that doesn't make any diff
ference. Nobody loves little boys who
fight"
Bobby pondered for few moments
and then his face frightened.

'Yes, my dear, nobody will love you

laugh escaped from papa as he hed
