Yankees Were all Alive.

The recent Grand Army encampment
In Washington provoked a good deal
of regarding the large nuns
bers of civil war veterans who are still
in good enough physical condition to en-
dure the fatigue of a long march says
the New York Tribune. Several south
ern democrats were discussing this in a
Washington hotel lobby the other even
ing when Secretary Charles T. Ed
wards of the democratic congressional
committee said:
"a few years ago Colonel William
Green Sterett and 1 were sitting at a
window watching the parade at a
Grand Army encampment. Hour after
hour passed, and still the Yankee hosts
swept by. Colonel Sterett became more
and more thoughtful, sileit, and de-
pressed as the march went on. After a
long silence he looked up, and, laying
his hand on my arm, said with the ut
most im~pressiveness:
Charlie, I'm going back to Texas
and burn up every southern history Of
the war that 1 can find.
What are you going to do that for
I asked.
Because, Charlie he said, still more
impressive, they're full of lies. They
all tell about how many Yankees We
killed. Charlie. we killed a ID
Yankee. They're all here nowr"

Diligence in Business.

1t is not true that every man who

world succeeds in attaining his ambi-

and in the second place, there Is a

nearly all human affairs. Two men of
equal industry and Brains, starting IA
the same point AMI living the same
length of time, are by no sure
to reach positions of cqIal height. One
may have more opportunities for 3D.
vancement than the other.
But to admit this fact is not to nm
pair the strength of the proposition
that aman must Work hard and stead
