Words OF Patriotism

lM U| UST now, when the birthday of the
lllustrieus Washington is about to
iSE be celebrated everywhere, the fol-
lowing words from his farewell address,
made public over century ago, viii be ap-
propriate:
BE united Be Americans The name
which belongs TO you, in your national ca
pacity, must e2alt the just pride of patri-
otism more than any appellatlon derived
from local determinations Let there be
no sectionalism, no north, south, east or
west; you are all dependent one on another,
and should be one in union. Beware of at
tacks, open or covert, on the constitution.
Beware of the baneful effects of party spirit
and of the ruin to which its extremes must
lead. Do not encourage party spirit, but
usesevery effort to mitigate and assuage it.
Keep the departments OF government sep
arate, promote education, cherish the pub.
lie credit, avoid debt Observe justice and
good faith toward all nations; have neither
passionate hatreds nor passionate attach
ments to any; and be independent political.
ly of all. in one word, be a nation, be
Americans, and be true to yourselves"

a M| was one of the most wonderful OF
M days in the wonderful life of that
splendid thing among man crea-
tons, the White City of 1898. The lake,
almost waveless lay extended like vast
expanse of blue satin till it blended with
the eastern sky, the green OF trees and grass
was vivid, the air was perfect and the NOV
ing thousands and tens OF thousands visit
ing the great worlds fair stepped lightly
as they walked, and were full OF life and
laughter. Among all the myriad groups
there Was none IN greater spirits than one
made up OF half dozen people, led by
Middle-aged man and woman, Who were
evidently the host and hostess OF the occa-
SION. The woman S face showed intelligence
and refinement, that OF the man intellect
and great strength OF character. That the
two, husband and wife, mad not tired of
each other throughout the years. that they
were in perfect accord and lovers still, was
manifested by the many signs recognizable
to those who have the eyes to see such
things. There was understanding, defer
ence and thoughtfulness in glance and word
in any suggestion regarding the movements
Of the party, now on its way toward the
Ferris wheel. Certainly to be congra tulated
upon their partnership IN life were Mr.. and
Mrs. Gentu. p ..... i.
The proposal to ride in the Ferris wheel
had not come from either Mr.. or Mrs. Gen
til, but from one Of the young ladies' OF the
group, though readily acquiesced IN. None
Mad yet made the aerial journey in the steel
monster and, as they strolled along, much
curiosity was expressed as to what the SEN
sation would be when lifted so far aloft
Mr.. Gentil alone did not express himself.
His wife was observing him narrowly and
there grew look Of concern Upon her face,
as was already apparent upon his. He was
perturbed.
The wheel was reached, the tickets Sc
cured and laughingIy distributed by Mr..
Eentil and then, as if something forgotten
had just occurred to him, he explained hur
riedly:
II can't go up with you, after all must
return to the main grounds for short

panse. Singularly enough, this soil thus
brought from the lakes bottom proved the
one thing for the nourishment of the beech,
and the beech woods there are made up Of
monster trees not exceeded in size by those
growing elsewhere upon the continent.
They tower aloft like oaks and crowd out
other growths. Standing splendidly upon
the lone highlands, they tempt visitors to
exploration Of their dusky corridors and to
the GOODNESS of their depths. Upon the
lake side have been built summer cottages
and resorts of more pretension. One of
these, visited by the Gentils, had broad
fiat roof, from the water side of which
was sheer fall of hundred feet. From
this roof was afforded a wonderful view Of
sunsets on Lake Michigan and here the
visitors thronged each evening. 1t CHANGED
that Mrs. Gentil wished to enjoy the view
with others, and her husband accompanied
her up the long, tortuous stairway. He
reached the roof, gave one quick glance
about, turned pale and stumbled back to the
stairway, his wife assisting, him. She said
nothing, save to ask him if he were i'll, and
he but replied that he would be better in a
few moments. She returned to the roof
alone
Perfect as had been the life of the Gen
ills, there had existed one little mar Very
proud of her husband was Mrs Gentil, as
she had a right to be. He was, and is, a
man among men. His record was not of
the present alone, but extended back almost
to boyhood He was young when he led
his company CALAMITY in some of the fercest
battles of the civil war. He never finched.
The war over, coming back as did SO many
thousands of good men to future prospect
without much definitions he showed the
same unhinchingness. He completed col
lege course under exceptional difficulties,
helping others in the meantime. He took
up professional career and fought it out
as bravely as he had fought out anything
before. When he fell in love he was not to
be denied, and the woman he sought, the
one with him now, found herself his wife
almost before she had become accustomed
to the breath of his swift wooing. He had
won fortune and some fame.
He looked the man he was, too, this Leon
ard Gentil. Broad of forehead, keen of eye,
stern of jaw, erect of figure and decided
of movement, his wife admired him as she
must, and yet she sometimes wondered
and was troubled. She wanted him per
feet, and he was not quite that. He ey-
hibited, at times, what seemed sort Of
cowardice. She could not understand it..
Once they had made trip to Switzerland
and he had stayed in the chalet below while
even she, woman, had done mountain
climbing with their friends. Time and
again such things had happened, but there
had been no explanation. She knew her
husbands sensitiveness, but, to-day, some
impulse led her to speak outright. It might
be that she could aid him. She found him
in their room at the hotel, where he was
smoking TRANQUILITY and reading. She ad-
vanced to his side, patted his head and then
put the question simply:

many criminals richly deserving punish
ment were allowed to go free.
1t was almost impossible at first to se-
cure Lincoln's consent to the execution of
soldier for desertion, and through i'm
munity for this crime the army just after
Fredericksburg was actually threatened
with dissolution. He could not withstand
the agonized tears of fathers, mothers and
friends of the condemned; seemingly would
not understand why man who had enlisted
to be shot by the enemy, perhaps, should
be shot in cold blood by his own friends.
In some respects the foregoing would APP
pear to characterize an essentially weak,
womanish nature; but Lincoln was far from
being weak man, though easily moved by
misery and suffering, and apparently totally
free from every sort Of prejudice. On occa-
sion he could be as firm as rock when he
thought justice should be INDICATED, and
especially SO when the well-being or lives
OF the struggling soldiers at the front were
involved. In cases Of the wanton murder Of

Lincoln's Clemency

M RITING on Appeals to Lincoln S
AIv clemeney,,, Mr.. Leslie J Perry says,
AVA in recent issue OF the Century,
that in all his many-sided aspects Abraham
Lincoln is perhaps better understood and
more thoroughly appreciated than any 9TH
er great American, for his life was as open
as the day His heart went out spontan-
eously to the lowly, whose hopes and as
pirations he understood. He was very APP
preachable. With a cause to plead, the
meanest as well as the greatest could reach
Lincoln's ear at all times. Lincoln hated
strife and bloodshed, yet his career culmin-
ated in the greatest war of modern times.
He was made miserable by the trials and
misfortunes Of his country; his honest heart
was wrung by cases of cruelty and hardship
incident to a state of war that were daily

form The tender-hearted president was

galaxy of human greatness. Yet it was as
soldier that his great qualities show most
resplendent, since it was here that he was
most sorely tried and had most obstacles to
overcome.
Against him were opposed soldiers and
generals who had covered themselves with
honors in battles with picked armies of the
continent of Europe. Then as now the fore
most nation of Europe, Great Britain, had
unlimited money and men at her command.
To meet these Washington had undisci-
plined farmers, who were ill-fed, iL-paid
and whose families sorely needed them at
home.
Besides there were cabals formed by rival
commanders who sought his place, the in
action and but too frequently the incom-
petence of congress, the treason of Arnold,
the opposition of tories and general dis
content, the result of a long war.
In the midst Of these trials Washington
moved with serene front. In that dread
winter at Valley Forge, when nearly one
half of his army was barefoot and had to
sleep under ground, he preserved his cour-
age. No general who has lived opercame
SO many obstacles as Washington
Count D'Estang said there was not an
other man in the world who could have held
together that army at Valley Forge, ragged,
as it was, and hungry and houseless and
unpaid.
At no time in the seven wears did Wash
ington doubt of final victory With sublime
faith in the justice of the cause, he waited
and trusted and planned. He would ac-
cept no defeat Compelled again and again
to decline battle because Of the paucity OF
his numbers and the limited supply OF am
munition, he persisted in his purpose until
he wore out the enemy. More than once. by
the sheer force of his genius, he snatched
victory from defeat.

Secretary Shaw Explains Apathy
Shown in the Campaign.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 21.-Leslie M
Shaw, secretary of the treasury, ad-
dressed a large and enthusiastic gather
ing at Tomlinson hall in this city last
night He said in part:
Both parties complain this year of
great lethargy and apathy on the part
of people. The reason is simple. There
is no issue between the parties. The
Republican party presents it's time
honored time-teste principles of sound
money stable currency-in other words,
good, reliable business tools and equip
ments, implements of trade-and its
equally time-honored and time tested
principle of protection to American
labor, and a conservative, stable. liberal
policy toward the people inhabiting our
insular possessions. Our political OPP
ponents present nothing in opposition
The only criticism 1 have to offer to-
night of our political opponents is this.
They seem to be more anxious to dis
cover an issue on which they may win
a campaign than they are to formulate
q policy for wise government after they
shall have won their campaign. 1t Is
due an intelligent people that there shall
be presented for their cOnSidera ton at
the polls affirmative principles, progress
sive politics, specific measures. 1 repeat
the issue is not between the personnel
of office holders, but between a party
with a plan, purpose, an aim, a hope
and a party that has nothing to propose
no issue to present, and no one leader
in whom more than thirty-three and a
third per cent. of their adherents have
any confidence whatsoever.
