Old Weak-Eyed Jones sat on one of
the backless benches in front of the
speakers stand.
the day the heated atmosphere had be-
come saturated with clouds of choking
dust, which rolled into the city behind
hundreds of incoming farmers con-
veyances. But Weak-Eyed Jones took
it all with a generous degree of hu-
mility and accomplishing. A young
couple at his elbow INDUCED so busily
in conversation he could not hear the
voice of the adjutant, yet he bore it
silently. Even though his obscure
sight, years before made almost use
less by a rebel mimic ball, which car
ried away the bridge of his nose and
grazed both eyes, was powerless to
penetrate the dust-heavy distance be-
tween him and the speaker he was Sc
cretly happy.
His meditations were cut short by
sudden commotion at his elbow. Peo-
pie were hurrying from their seats;
the program must be over. He was
carried along with the rest, towards
the speakers stand, but he hadn't gone
far when he noticed some one trying
to speak Above the noise he just
caught the last phrase: will close
with selection by the young ladies'
quartette."
Then it wasn't over yet, There was
to be one more numberi He tried to
be seated, but buxom country woman
jostled hard against him, nearly send
ing him off his rheumatic legs.
The quartette commenced to sing,
but their voices were drowned in the
tumult of confusion.
Presently drum corps somewhere
out in the street struck up Marching
Through Georgia''-the line COM
menced to form. Hurried along with
the throng, Weak-Eyed Jones took up
a marching position with others of his
blue-coated comrades. The heat was
still more sitting here, as they stood
waiting for what seemed like hours.
Presently Weak-Eyed began to grow
faint. The morning had found him
physically indisposed, but never yet
having missed meeting with his SOL
der comrades on the thirtieth of May.

DRY of the soldiers who died in prison
in that .city, is each year remem-
bered, and floral emblems bedeck the
shaft that marks the resting place of
one-time enemies. Nor is it only the
ex-Confederate veterans who render
this tribute. Those who visit the
beautiful city of the dead in loving
memory to decorate the graves of
their kin are careful to save flowers
to honor those who gave their lives
for the Stars and Bars. as well as
those who triumphed under the Stars

Evolution of Treacle.

The word treacle has undergone an
odd modification. At first 1t was APP
piled to such decoctions of roots or
other substances as were deemed ben
eicial in medical practice; then, as
these were frequently sweetened, it
came to mean any sweet concoction
or CONNECTION; and, lastly, as molasses
was the sweetest of all, this name WAS
exclusively applied to strip.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
Starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
81 the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

A Chancei1or.s Difficulties.

The lot of a British chancellor Of
the exchequer has never been exactly
happy one and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, of all English chancellors, may
be held to come the nearest to Sir

1 cannot conceive a more lamentable
position than that of a chancellor Of
the exchequer, seated on an empty
chest, by the side of bottomless de-
f1ciencies, fishing for a budget"

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to
any other brand, but because each 1Oc
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. 1t is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.
Quality and quantity must win.

Eject of Boer War In France.

The French have every reason to
pray for a speedy termination of the
war. Not only has it affected Paris
tradesmen and hotel proprietors
throughout France, but It has had a

that, with so many officers away from
the English clubs and restaurants, the
stocks of wine have accumulated and
dividends have in consequence de-
creased.-London Express.
